"BESTFRIEND"

 


                       BESTFRIEND by BernardBirdman


Many people thought that we can live in just the way it goes.Or in any aspects there is no truth about friends or bestfriends.I mean i say...IT DOES'NT EXIST ever.But let's play in a mystery.Would you stand for your love afterall the miserable experience happened with your love for a person?Or would you stand on your principle NOT to forgive a person you too much love?
      Would you lie on that?Or how could you specify or explain your thought?

Ok.Let's go to topic.I will tell you a stories about a two friends who lived in a small public territory.They both raised and grown up together.I will call them Andy and Joshua.They're not friends nor they did'nt even know each other.But as they say.They destined to be met and connect in a right time.They we're kids then.Joshua is a weak and Andy is a strong.Andy is adventurer and contrary with Joshua who is coward at times.He never take risk.Andy does things like he takes it always as a challenge.That never wanted Joshua to do.But then they felt there are some sort of attitude that both of them felt they can work and agreed together.

      They grew up closely like brothers.They studied in one school.They go to school together and they almost together in everyday.They worked after school together doing assignments or homeworks.And until they reached some bullying experienced by their schoolmates saying they are like a monkey twins and so called insulted words blah blah blah.But their friendship remains so intact and solid each and everyday.

When they become a teenagers.Life has started in a little bit awkward.They're closeness started to get a little bit in a distance when Sally came.

      Sally is a beautiful asset to both of them.Sally is a shy type.But Sally has a two world.She has two identity.Sally has been through a lot of depression when her parents killed.It happened when she was ten years old.Traumatized.Little by little the psychologist advices her to stop condemning herself by her tragic experienced.It was hard for her.Her relatives are trying to gave her support all the time.She start coping it day by day.Until she invent another identity calling herself Vivian for leaving and forget the life of Sally.That story not comes to an end because even she's trying to forget everything there are always a shadow from the past.Sally is the past with a lot of fear and here comes her new identity with the name of Vivian who trying to reject all the past.

     Joshua met Sally and Andy met Vivian in a different occasions.Andy met Vivian in a Disco Pub.Drinking and dancing like a stripteaser.Wild and tipsy.Bold and daring attitude.That time Andy is with other groups celebrating a birthday party with his classmates.They get along so easily and they ends in a Motel.Vivian left the Motel when Andy woke up.And that he felt something special with Vivian.Joshua on the other circumstances met Sally by almost hitting her while his driving a car two o clock in the morning.Sally fell down in the middle of the street when Andy sees her.She was unconscious.She get Sally and brought it to the hospital.And that started their friendship.The friendship of Andy and Joshua almost lost when they go to university.Andy took up college in Manila where Joshua decided to stay in his province and continuing his studies in a province.Aside from Joshua's parents who have business there he also got offered to worked in their office as a clerk.Joshua courted Sally.And Sally then accepted his proposal.They became boyfriends and Joshua felt a serious attention to her.Genuinely and sincerely.

       Sally had never a conversation with Joshua about Andy.Nor Sally never had introduced herself to Joshua's family.She got a chance to go to Manila when Andy called her in her telephone.By curiosity she left for a month vacation and reunite with Andy as Vivian.And they met again after a months.They go out.They enjoyed each others company until Vivian told Andy about her relationship with the guy but specifically she did'nt say name.Andy is a very liberal person and he does'nt mind it at all.What really matters to him is a satisfaction.A sex.He is a handsome guy.There are lot of girls falling for him.And she considers Vivian as one of the girls.But then Andy felt a little spot with Vivian.He did not know the right affection when after one night they slept together.Vivian told to her everything about her past.Her tragic past.Then all along the sentiment with Vivian suddenly grow.Was it called LOVE or PITY?

   The last day and goodbye for Andy said Vivian.
Can i kiss you?I dont know if we still have chance to see each other.It's just i wanted to make this day as the most remembered...."Vivian shed her tears.

   Andy kiss and embraced Vivian with full of emotions.Andy felt he's not denying anything right now.That everything at that moment are real.And before Vivian hold Andy to push away she quipped and whistle to Andy.
         "I am Sally.That was the last secret you have to know.That it might happen you wanted to remember me.I wish you remember me by my real name.Im Sally...."
  That Sally run far away to Andy broke her tears.She cried sounded with full of pain.Immediately she's gone in a minute.Andy felt so deeplessly hurtedly crying.And that was the end of their secret affair for now.

   Sally back where she live and decided to build her life along with Joshua.Joshua may not be as good as handsome like Andy.But Joshua is so clean and pure hearted lovable person she really wish to have a partner in the future.But then there are moments that she really missed Andy because of his outgoing and joyful witty personality.She at times remembered the jokes and their laughing times together.That never she remembered when she's with Joshua.Joshua is so serious and look very fragile.The days passed until Joshua decided to propose to marry her.She did'nt know how to answer nor how to react to Joshua's proposal.She requested Joshua to give her a little time to decide.It's a big decision to make and she wanted to make sure of herself.And to her feelings about Joshua.She is very sure that she really love Joshua but she does not know if that love is enough to marry him.

By reminiscing his past Andy decided to go back in his province after he passed his doctoral board exam.He had passed his application to work in Sydney and start his new journey there.He returned in his old home while he need to wait for his new journey if his luck calls.That season Sally left the province and back to Manila to look for a answer to her decision.She wanted to contact Andy again for the last time.Yes she said.For the last time i wanted to see Andy and say Goodbye to him for the very very last time.I will gonna tell him that im going to get married and i will introduce to him my future husband that i think i truly deserved...."But the day has gone and Andy's presence did'nt show at all.And that she decided to go back home.

Andy and Joshua reunite after a span of years.
    Brother!Bestfriend!It's a decade now.I miss you a lot!"Andy said.
I love you Men!I miss you too.....!"Joshua answered.
They embraced.They hugged each other.They showed their excitement after a long years disconnected.
They started to talk and recount from a very beginning of where they have lost each other.From their younger days.They both recalled everything each of every details of their journey.Joshua brought Andy is his new build mansion that he constructed for almost five years.That Mansion he describes to Andy is for the woman that she wanted to be her partner in life.That he dedicate his whole life to construct and build it for years to a woman she really loves.That the woman did'nt know everything about the mansion.He wanted to surprise her when she get back from Manila.Andy congratulated his bestfriend and said that he is happy to what happening to Joshua right now.Andy confessed that he truly miss their younger years and  asked Joshua that if he needs anything financial and spiritual or anything.Don't hesitate to ask because he will do anything for his bestfriend to make him happy.Joshua truly proud that afterall these years they remain as bestfriend.Right then Joshua invited Andy for a dinner.And Andy quickly accepted the invitation.Then Andy went to his old house where they lived before with his parent.He visited his old colleagues and relatives.Joshua busy of buying foods in a Market five miles away from their province with some helpers in his house.He provide to choose every fruits,vegetables and meat that he want to prepared for a special dinner.That moment Andy and Sally crossed their way at the market where the last are calling a taxi to bring her at Joshua's house with his two suitcases.Both of them felt so excited as they we're hugged each other and kissed on there lips.That moment Andy witnesses the situation not so far from them.He was shock too.He never expected that two closest person in his life had been kissing like old sweethearts.No he said.It's not true.How can it be true?How is it possible?He closed his eyes at many times pretending that it is just a mistake.But latter minutes convinced him that he is playing stupid.He intented to hide and to go home hurriedly pretending that nothing has happened.They almost came home together at Joshua's house.Sally kissed Joshua.Joshua tries to control himself until the dinner started.Andy knock the door at Joshua's house.He still never know that Joshua is Sally's fiancee.When Andy reach the dining area and seeing who's right in front of him he was started to pale.He forget words on his tongue.He's is like a robot uncapable of doing anything.Same as Sally who's watching him and Joshua beside in her watching them.Joshua maintained his control while Sally fainted.

After that evening.The trust.The love.The ambition and the dreams had lost into a nightmare.Sally left Joshua.Joshua almost killed Andy.Andy feels so betrayed by himself.Gossip came that Sally become the most well known Cheap Slut in the Barrio.Vivian,Mary Jane.Lorraine.Divine and many names she invented to run away with her loneliness and desperation.Then Andy got a letter from a Institute of Medicine.His application got noticed by a well known Medical Institute of United States.After he flew to U.S. he decided to talk to Joshua.And for the very first time.He cried like a baby asking for forgiveness.Yes he knew that it is not his fault.But it's his friend.His bestfriend.And he wanted to bring back what they have lost each other.Joshua did not react at all.As usual.He's still as coward as it always be.He wanted to hurt Andy and scold him.But then he's not capable of hurting someone.Instead he ignored Joshua while begging him for forgiveness.The day Andy left he also left a letter for his bestfriend.Joshua read the letter.Until Joshua realized to truth about Sally.About her past.About their past.

  Joshua tried to search Sally.Until he find out that Sally is already dead.Her body found dead by the police and later showed in every newspaper.Joshua felt so guilty about Sally.After a weeks the relatives of Sally visit Joshua's house with a baby in the arms.They gave Sally's diary to him.And they asked Joshua to give a baby a father what she really wishes for her baby Cassandra.Joshua accepted the child without any second thought.


        Message of Sally in her diary.....Love is a long trip.Life is a short trip.Im tired of hoping and coping for my everyday's life.It's not a dream of any woman.By being such a weak and wild what i truly deserved is this.I became a famous whore.I am funished by my own mistakes.Im alone.I missed being a daughter.But i also miss to have a parent.A family.One day i wish for Cassandra is to met his father Joshua.A father that he deserves.I know he will take care of you.As she take care of me before.As the way she loves me.I dont deserve him as she deserves you.I wish he will forgive me for my wildness.I wish he will forgive Andy.And i wish he will forgive me for what i've done to him and for my life.I'm crazy...Im very crazy...Im sorry Cassandra.Im anything happens to me i just want you to know that i love you.I dearly loved you..."

     Then it all came like a new day.A  brighter day.Joshua raised Cassandra.And time to time Joshua wrote Andy an email about their latest in their journey.

   
         Friendship is like seasonal.Sometimes we feel very connected.Then after a while it's like our thing that can misplace there and then and then and then......But it always be remembered.

                             PENNE BOLOGNESE

       Good Morning Guys!Maraming Salamat po sa pagbisita nyo sa Blog ko at sana nagustuhan nyo at magustuhan nyo ang bawat Recipe na nai-share at maisi-share ko sa inyo.This time ibabahagi ko sa inyo ang natutuhan ko habang nandito ako sa Madrid,Spain.In my 13 years that i am here working eh masasabi kong nag-grown ako not only spiritually kundi mentally na din.Naging wide ang experienced ko not just communicating to all different people in every part of the world kundi pa ti na din sa paraan ng pagluluto.Yes guys!It's a long hard but a great experienced.Palipat-lipat ako nang trabaho.And Yes!I swear hindi ko madali makahanap ng trabaho.Mabuti na lang at ma-PR ako at ginamit ko yung attitude na yon para hindi maging mahirap para sa akin ang lahat.But of course.GOD guides me a lot.Kasama ko sya sa JOURNEY ko!In my 5 years that i've been worked in Italian Restaurant masasabi kong andami kong natutuhan.Well because of the interest i think.Dahil hindi daw matututo ang tao kung hindi interesado sa isang bagay i supposed.PRIMOLA is the first italian restaurant that i worked with.Mas especialized nila ang PIZZA kase base sa Menu eh mas marami silang PIZZA kesa sa Pasta kaya duon ko nakita kung paano gumawa ng Dough or Masa as we called it.Duon ko din natutuhan kung paano gumawa ng italian desserts such as PANA COTTA and TIRAMISU.Then nung magtrabaho naman ako sa TiPiacera Italian Ristorante ay duon ko naman na-discover na andami palang klase paraan ng pagluluto ang pwedeng gawin sa Pasta.That later eh ituturo ko sa inyo little by little.So ngayon po ituturo ko na sa inyo kung paano niluluto ang PENNE BOLOGNESE sa paraan ko.
Here's the Step:
INGREDIENTES:
    1 kilo of ground Pork or meat
    Penne Pasta
    2 pcs. medium chopped Onion
    3 pcs. fresh Red tomatoes
    2 pcs. of garlic chopped
    Tomato Paste
    Tomato Sauce
    Catsup/Red Wine
    Cheese
    Red and Green Belle Pepper
    Salt
    Pepper
    Oregano
    Virgin Olive Oil
Unahin po nating magpakulo ng tubig tapos lagyan natin ng Oil o butter para po hindi magdikit-dikit ang Pasta kapag pinapakuluan na natin.Then Salt.Pag kumulo na po ang tubig ay ilagay na natin ang Pasta at hayaan nating lumambot o maluto.Saka po natin ilalagay sa Draining pot ang Pasta habang pinapatuyo natin.Next step po ay gagawin naman natin ang Bolognese Sauce.Pwede natin  pagsabayin ang paggawa ng Sauce habang pinapakuluan natin ang Pasta kung nasa rush hour po tayo.Pero kung hindi naman eh maganda din na gawin natin One at a time.                                                                                                                                    
                    So painitin po natin ang Sauce Pan o kawali.Tapos lagyan natin nang Virgin Olive oil.Tapos ilagay natin ang Onion.Kapag medyo nagkulay brown na po ang Onion eh maaari na natin ilagay ang karne o Ground Meat or Pork.Depende po sa gusto nyo yan.Lagyan natin ng Salt.Then Pepper.Ilagay natin ang Tomatoes.Then red and green bell pepper.After 5 minutes po na nailagay natin ang karne eh ilagay na din po natin ang Tomato Paste at Tomato Sauce.Tikman po natin at kung ok na po ang lasa eh OPTIONAL po na lagyan natin ng Catsup.The reason why i really love to put a catsup eh para mas maging malasa po ang Bolognese Sauce at matamis tamis.Pwede din po na instead na Catsup eh Red Wine po ang ilagay natin.Estilong Italian po eh may halong Red Wine at estilong Pinoy naman eh Catsup.Then hayaan po natin ito for about 15 minutes at mahina lang po ang apoy para hindi sya matuyuan o masunog.So natapos na po ang 15 minutes.
            Third step po ay magpainit po tayo ulit ng Sauce Pan.Lagyan natin ulit ng olive oil.At kapag mainit na po ang mantika ay saka natin ilagay ang bawang or garlic.Kapag medyo  nag-brown na po ang garlic ay ibuhos na po natin ang Pasta na pinakuluan natin kanina.Low heat lang po ang apoy para hindi po masunog ang Pasta at magdikit sa Sauce Pan.Haluin po natin ng dahan-dahan.Kapag na cover na po nang olive oil at garlic ang Pasta eh ibuhos na po natin sa kawali ang Bolognese Sauce na ginawa natin.Haluin po natin ulit hanggang sa ma-cover po nang sauce ang pasta.Budburan po natin ng Cheese habang hinahalo natin at pagkatapos po ay takpan po natin for about 3 minutes.Im sure sigurao kong lalabas na napakasarap ng magiging resulta nito.Isa ito sa pagkain na paborito ko.Ready to serve na po at sana nagustuhan nyo ang recipe na nai-share ko sa inyo ngayon.Have a great day!!!!!
