The game is easy! I will ask a question. The first person who comments will answer my question, and will leave a question for the next person to answer. This next person will answer that question, and leave a question for the next next person to answer. I am sure you get it! 😉
To make things more fun, the questions have to reflect the chosen theme. For example, if the theme is MONEY, all questions should relate to that topic. What was your first piggy bank like? If you could splurge on anything right now, what would it be? As much as possible, let’s not repeat the questions for added fun! You are also welcome to play more than once.
Let’s stand by each other with our 40th weekend soiree!
The theme: FRIENDSHIP
The question: What was the name of your very first best friend?

Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

Q: What was the craziest thing you did for the sake of friendship?

October 11, 2008 at 8:25 am (16 years ago)i did a lot of crazy things for friends – like metaphorically giving the shirt off my back so they could stay warm – but this one tops them all (and the friend happened to be a girlfriend). I was in a business meeting in Olongapo City and she paged me (ala pa text noon) because she was dying to, darn, drink beer and play darts with me. so i had to abruptly cancel the meeting, booked the clients to a hotel, and drive all the way to dasmarinas, cavite to be able to see her. after a couple of beers and a few darts games she said, okay, you can go na, so i had to drive back to olongapo city, picked the clients from the hotel, resume the meeting, and treat them to happy happy hour thereafter to offset the time they waited for me.
q. groucho marx, when asked which between a book and a dog is man’s best friend answered: outside a dog, a book is a man’s best friend, inside a dog, it is very, very dark. obviously, he preferred a book. how about you, which is a bester friend, a book or a dog, and why?

October 11, 2008 at 8:56 am (16 years ago)ehehe… you couldn’t know me any more than you do if you thought I would say books
on the first question, it’s just so queer, now that I come to think of it, that the name of my first best friend is also the name of my first worst enemy, different people though, thankfully. evangeline.
now my question: do you honestly think that people of the opposite sex can engage in an all out friendship and become the bestest of friends without falling in love?
Jet
October 11, 2008 at 8:59 am (16 years ago)oh… sorry… I should explain why, huh?
well, it’s because I’ve never had a particular liking to pets and I think their should be some liking involved for you to call ‘it’ a friend is what I’m saying
cbs
October 11, 2008 at 9:06 am (16 years ago)(wehehe, imonopolize kaya natin itong soiree na ito, wehehe ulet). sagot sa tanong mo: syempre naman. ako nga, di naman ako in-love sa yo, di naman kita nakikita pa, pero conclude ko best friend kita. (o sige, chorus tayong lahat: wehehe!)
cbss last blog post..bye bye, l.c.
Jet
October 11, 2008 at 10:11 am (16 years ago)true enough. kaso, magagalit sayo si Toni nyan dahil sinagot mo tanong ko pero wala ka namang iniwang tanong… lagoooot! ehehehe 😛
cbs
October 11, 2008 at 11:24 am (16 years ago)labo. o eto tanong: ang mga babae pag nambabasted ng lalaki, sasabihin nila, sorry ha, friends na lang tayo. di ba parang mali, kasi dapat mas matindi ang standard ng friendship sa lovership (baduy). mali nga ba ang pa-eklay ng mga babae, o mali lang ang pananaw ko? ha? ha?
Jet
October 11, 2008 at 5:14 pm (16 years ago)tingin ko kanya-kanyang pananaw yan. there are those who would think that a more intimate relationship as would exist between lovers is a rung higher than ‘mere’ friendship and there are those who would see ‘friendship’ as a stronger bond than ‘intimacy.’ ika nga ni lao tzu, ‘… long and short as measures of contract, high and low as degree of relation…’ so to answer your question, taken in the context of a ‘point of view,’ walang mali, parehong tama.
now for my question: what was the last profound thing you said to a good friend?
Mimi
October 11, 2008 at 8:53 pm (16 years ago)Yesterday I stated, “I think we’re overdue for an earthquake.” Then we had one this morning.
Do you have a long lost friend that you dreadfully want to make contact with?

Jen
October 11, 2008 at 9:34 pm (16 years ago)Yes! I do. I blogged about her last week (I think it was last week). I now have a way of getting in touch with her outside of e-mails (which she never answers it seems) but I am afraid that if I try to contact her through these other ways, she won’t answer back.
Have you ever lied to a friend when she asked you point-blank what you thought of her? For example, you have an issue with a friend and when the friend asked you if there was anything that you didn’t like about her, have you lied and said no, you didn’t have a problem with her? (but the truth is that you do and just couldn’t tell her)

October 11, 2008 at 10:26 pm (16 years ago)No. I told her the truth and I think I’ve lost her forever.
Do you think you make a good friend?
Em Dys last blog post..Recharge!
Kuria
October 11, 2008 at 10:51 pm (16 years ago)I think I make an OK friend
Although I think I can get irritating at times cos I tend to be a worry wart.
Is true friendship really that hard to come by?
Kurias last blog post..Amazing Grace
dyanie
October 12, 2008 at 1:35 pm (16 years ago)yes i think so. coz true friendship goes beyond and will be there for you through ups and downs

Sidneys last blog post..
drunkenlily
October 12, 2008 at 9:46 pm (16 years ago)my bestfriend and i don’t really quarrel much except whenever we get irritated over small stuffs. when that happens we don’t talk, we just let things be for a while then resume as if it never happened. later on we get around to talk about it and apologize.
how long have you been friends with your oldest friend?
drunkenlilys last blog post..stay or go?
Jeanny
October 13, 2008 at 12:55 am (16 years ago)A:
I have this close friend since we we’re seven though I lost contact when we move.
Q:
What is this quality/qualities that you really admire with your close/best friend and why?
Jeannys last blog post..Banana Crumble Muffin
Dexie
October 13, 2008 at 6:19 am (16 years ago)loyalty, truthfulness, the ability to tell me how it is but would still give me support. a real friend will talk shit about you, IN front of you. it keeps us humble. and it goes both ways.
Q : Do you think it’s a good idea to tell a friend she doesn’t look good in a dress before going out? Or would let her go out so you don’t hurt her feelings?
sheng
October 13, 2008 at 8:51 am (16 years ago)A: I cannot afford to lie to her so I would be brave enough to ask her to change into something more decent.
Q: If you best friends, would you want her boyfriend? ugh! Please be honest…

toni
October 13, 2008 at 10:37 am (16 years ago)Haha, nope. If I knew my best friend liked him a lot, I wouldn’t want to get in her way. Friendship over fellows!
Did you have any circle of friends that had a group name? 😀
Cookie
October 13, 2008 at 8:05 pm (16 years ago)Yup. In High School we were called Pinks after watching Grease2..yakkk!!! True to form we were supposed to be coolest gals in school…feeling namin yun ha. I remember there was another group called Sloanes, mga Lady Di wannabes. Then there were the Groovy Ghoulies, the nerds 😀
Question : If you’re married, can you honestly say that you are friends with your spouse?

October 13, 2008 at 10:34 pm (16 years ago)i am married and i am my husband’s bestfriend. i get all the office gossip! hehe
because we live in a foreign country, he’s my only friend and bestfriend. which is really really nice.
even if the weekend is over, who knows someone will pop over here out of the blue? so here’s my Q for you: have you ever walked away from a friend? like a friendship turned sour that you just have to close your door and move on?
odettes last blog post..working girl soon

October 15, 2008 at 12:45 am (16 years ago)i did pop up here after the weekend so here goes:
i did walk away from a friendship that was beyond salvation, but the friendship was not with any of my bffs so i thought i could close the door, lock it, and throw the key without having any second thoughts. of course there is a sea of bitterness that separated us before i did say enough, i had enough.
now, here’s the q for anyone who might be dropping by: would you say a bff from hs or elem [who you see occassionally] is your friend for 20 years [or whatever number it is] , or your friend 20 years ago?
btw, this was fun.

October 15, 2008 at 11:07 pm (16 years ago)I guess if you make a way for you two to still be in contact. Like me, my bestfriend from HS was not even in the same class as me but now I’m already in college and we’re still the best of friends. And it still depends though.. =P
next Q: What do you think is the reason that there are people who are the best of friends then one day they’re not anymore..even worse..they’re enemies.. =P??
