Let Me Introduce You to My 3 Bestfriends

My bestfriends ( I prefer to call them my Rah-Rah Girls) will figure prominently in these pages so I might as well do the honor of giving them a proper introduction:

Bestfriend #1 Let us call her Grasya. I’ve known her since high school. She’s a nurse who worked for a decade in that land of promise called America. She loves New York and she once a had a hot replica of Will Smith for a boyfriend. I love this girl, and I love her Mom too. We both grew up in Christian households, went to Christian schools and we were good Daddy’s Girls until…. She’s been married for almost a year now to a doctor who will never think of asking her to do the laundry (inggit ako!).

Bestfriend #2 Let us call her Ning. We met when we were in college. We were never really that close back then. But we are now--now that we are two of the three remaining singles in our barkada of 9. When she turned 27 she decided she won’t die a virgin so she hopped on the first guy she saw. It was a so-so one-night-stand that only made her mutter: “ganun lang pala yun…” Several years and several guys later she has become determined to sleep only with guys who are committed to her. And, by the way, her last boyfriend was nine years younger than her.

Bestfriend #3 Let’s call her Aling Rosa. Stress on the Aling. She is the most prudish of all my bestfriends. We were both working as reporters for a major daily when we met. I was the one who taught her to use thong underwear, chandelier earrings, and expensive face powders. She’s got a to-die-for waistline and if she had the money I know she won’t think twice about getting a boob job, especially now that she knows that the man of her dreams is drooling over Ruffa Mae. By some humorous twist of fate she is now dating a shrink who is literally rocking her world by turning her belief system upside-down.
