Mares bonding


My girls and I went out for dinner and videoke last Friday. We had a blast…and ate a lot at T bar, sponsored by Miray. She got promoted at work, and we’re all proud of her. And ate even more at Music 21 while we sang our hearts out and screamed like there’s no tomorrow.

There was videoke showdown between Alvin (Glad’s boylet) and Rommel (Kim’s fiancée). One sounds like Piolo Pascual and the other, Martin Nievera…and just when competition heats up…kami ang pangpasira!! Don’t get me wrong but we sing like diva’s **wink ** Afterwards we went to Starbucks Magallanes, our “heart to heart talk” tambayan.

We are all very opinionated and we love each other like sisters…and so, when one sister goes maniac in the love life highway…we’re each other’s highway patrol. But we can only do as much. Sorry I can’t get into detail coz we’ve said so much to our troubled friend. Too much things said and done.

We’ve all grown together..from our nene days in grade school up to now that we’re all successful in our chosen careers. We remain to be little girls once in a while…and reminisce the good ‘ol days.

Just to let you guys know my bestest girl friends…here’s how I see them:


Berl, the woman trapped in a cute baby girl’s body. I’m proud of her because she finished law school and will know in a few months time if she’ll be Atty. Santiago. I know she’ll make it, though. A smart, loving, cute girl…and will be married soon to Paolo. They complement each other and I’m really happy for them. Berl has been my confidant…she lets me see the bigger picture…that I’m strong and I can make it, no matter what.

Glad and I have been through a lot of ups and downs with a lot of boylets in between! Haha! Lots of heartaches, tampuhans, etc. She’s a very sweet girl…and loves her family more than anything in the world. A go-getter, almost always gets what she wants coz she knows what she wants. Would never settle for anything less coz she deserves it. A beautiful person inside and out.

Miray is our mommy. She doesn’t seem to tire taking care of everyone…that’s why I think Julia is soo lucky. Her mommy’s there…di sha iiwan like her father. Miray is such a sucker for romance…after what she’s been through I admire her for being strong and for never losing faith in love. What-a-trooper!!


Za has an genuine soul. She speaks her mind and never pretends to be someone she’s not…uber honest that some people may get offended but that’s the way she is. And I love her for that. She laughs her heart out whenever we all hang out. Hats off to this very responsible girl…she knows how to balance love, career, family, God…(not in that particular order)

Charl…the best!!! Lupet!!! Our stand up comedienne who never runs out of clever hirits. Very independent, one thing you know she’s in a land far, far away…without even saying goodbye. She changes her mind as often she changes her underwear. But as she said, it all leads to one goal. Whatever that goal may be. She can definitely light up any occasion and doesn’t mind laughing at herself. Our bunso but the most independent and bravest of all…


Zory on the other hand is our resident manang…hehe, just kidding. NBSB, but when guys get to know her deeper I’m sure guys will drool over her. She’s a very lovable person, she picks a lesson or two from what everybody has been through…so hopefully she won’t commit the same mistakes that some us did. She maintained her weight from highschool, Dang! I wish I can do that!

And of course, moi, Ethel. I’m our gimik / outing organizer. I make sure everyone would come…or else… hehehe! They know that I don’t take NO for an answer. It’s because I want us to have time to bond despite our hectic schedules. One thing you know, someone might be living abroad for good…or have their own families soon and will make it harder for us to hang out, all seven of us. So I take this opportunity that we’re all single and mid-20’s coz afterwards life will be more chaotic and complicated.
