Gesture of a Long-Time Friendship

(This is a re-post from my old blog. I included it here for sentimental reasons.)

As I was checking out my notifications in my Facebook account last week, I found out that I was tagged a picture by my friend, Lee Viray Cahili, the well-known photographer. It was a picture of his new Photography Studio.

I felt flattered that even though we haven't seen each other much these past few years, he still wanted me to know what’s going on with his life right now.

When I featured him in my blog as a birthday present, he thanked me by posting this on my Facebook wall..


hi kim thank you! you don’t know how much you made an impact on who i am and how i think now. for that maraming salamat kaibigan.”
As if it wasn’t enough, he posted this on his Facebook wall..


She was not my mother not even my teacher but the things I learned from her helped me become who i am and how i am today. Salamat Kim Agustin Laxa for this gift on my birthday! :)”
 Honestly, I can no longer remember how I helped him be what he is right now. I have some vague memory, though,  of our long talks and endless arguments way back in college. Even then, I was the teacher he probably didn’t want yet a significant part of his life.
For my friend, Lee, good luck to all your endeavors..
