what my friends say about me:


doni:
makulit - akala mo tahimik sa umpisa pero magugulat ka na lang at bigla syang kakanta, magmumura, o sasayaw nang walang kadahilanan. mahilig tumambay sa ateneo at lalo na sa mcdo katipunan. naaalala ko pang sabay nating hinintay ang bukang liwayway dahil wala tayong balak umuwi. umupo pa tayo nun sa conio bench just to feel kung ano ang feeling umupo dun. mahilig makikisama. i mean, kung ala kang kasamang manood ng sine o kasabay kumain o pumuntang national, yayain mo lang sya, game na! isang pagpapakita na loyal sya sa mga kaibigan nya. marunong magpahalaga. miss na kita kmikep.

cil:
Mike is the first person in our team that was very nice to me…I remember I would always sit beside him while we were on the floor and we would just talk about music and sing in between calls! He has a very nice voice! Pang Theatre! And I am not kidding! But wait….There’s more…hehe...not only can he sing…he can also dance! You should see him do the ocho ocho (joke lang mike! Hehe! Approve mo to ha!) Aside from that, he is a very SMART person. We would always ask him how to pronounce difficult words(hey! that doesn’t mean we are dumb though! Hehe! aliw lang kami kasi alam nya lahat! Defensive!) what it means….if there is such a word as….yadayadayada :) he is like a walking dictionary! I love hanging out with him! He is very funny and amusing! I actually enjoy just watching him ….he is THAT amusing. He is a very thoughtful person. Everytime we part ways, he would text all of us to have a safe trip and he would always say goodnight again …to all of us, kahit feeling nya malapit na maputol line nya! He would give you wake up texts even if you're not asking him to give you one...it's because he is so concerned about all of us…especially me, there was a time kasi na palagi ako nalelate sa office. And how could I forget the time you accompanied me to all of the ukay-ukays in makati sa may LRT! Kahit na gusto ko nang mamatay sa sobrang init at sa dami ng tao…I actually had fun just sitting and laughing there with you…. waiting for all of them to disappear! Haha! I am so glad we are officemates again and that i met a GREAT friend like you. That’s one of the reasons why I am so thankful I worked for Info! Anyone would be sooo lucky to have you….keep that in mind! Thank you for the very sweet testi…sana matamaan ang gusto natin matamaan! Love you mike! Mwuaa!

jay marie:
Mike's usually laidback, he just brushes off stuff that would normally drive an ordinary person up the wall. But sometimes things just get to him and the wound up Mike (like last night hehe)surfaces. He was so upset! Normal na tao rin pala sha! Pagod ka na ba Mike? Hehe!

charles:
si mike ...... hmmmmmmmmmmmm well isa sya sa mga pinaka-totoong tao na nakita ko. walang kaplastikan sa pag-uugali. kaya nga beware kayo dyan kasi pag hindi nyo kilala yan baka masaktan kayo sa mga salita pa lang niya. mike we haven't been hanging out that much lately but i know i still have a friend in you. always take care!!!!!!!

georgia:

ed:
Yes! 2nd testimonial ko na 'to for you...There are things I wanna say and haven't told you. I want everyone else to know about it so I'm writing it thru a testi. Here goes: This is actually to express my gratitude for being there always. I'll never forget every time I ask you to meet me earlier because I wanna talk about you-know-what. I'll never forget when I asked you to call me (and you did) to talk about you-know- what. I'll never forget the everyday 'Text me when you get home' message I receive from you. I'll never forget the twenty pesos load you send me when I'm broke. I'll never forget your profound opinions about my so- called nonexistent lovelife. And I'll always cherish your friendship that I hope will last us this lifetime. Gosh, we're gonna be housemates. This is so cool. Guess you don't know that your presence is very much appreciated. It is. And I believe your other friends can say the same. You're one hell of a guy. Thank you and I'm sorry if I blabber too much about myself and if my life depresses you at times. Still, masanay ka coz there's more of that to come.

reyan:

astroboi:
he's sensible, he doesn't try hard to be anything he's not. crush ko nga si mike eh. wehehe.

exclusive:
Get involved in a battle of wits and emotional drive. Intolerable cruelty?

nikka:
once upon a time in a far flung slum area somewhere in never neverland i met a very ambitious guy who had plans of making it big in sin city. ndi si mike yon, alterego niya yon... how do i love thee? let me count the ways: proofreader extraordinaire; grammar hitler, walking encyclopedia, and a lot more...everytime he falls into his self- effacing crap... i always tell him "you should start looking at yourself in my eyes coz you’ll see someone so wonderful, and interesting, and funny and deserving of everything u set your heart to get."

ertho:
mike---- he's a person of depth, profundity, and substance! he laughs generously and almost always eats his heart out everytime i crack a joke. he has proven himself to be a true friend to me.... i would want every person in this world to be like him so that every single talk will be sooohh substantial, (he will be a good replacement for kris aquino) he's been there for me during my dakest hours..kaya nga di ko to pagpapalit ever! hey bro, you definitely rock!!! stay cool...

gep:
ooh mike is a very nice person! (hell crap!) ooh mike is fun to hang out with! (hell shitty crap!) ooh mike is a very sensible guy! (could it get any more crappy?! Hell!) Hay nako, binayaran nya sila for sure! Sa pagkakakilala ko kay mike.. HE'S MORE THAN THAT PEOPLE!!! he's the type of guy who won't leave you hanging in the air. A loyal friend and a good listener. Excellent blabber too! hehe... He's like the big bro i never had. i really thank the Man Upstairs that he made me cross paths with this hell of a guy! Thanx bro for everything!I owe you so much! Lista mo nalang muna! hehe.. ^_^

ed:
This is one of those friends who knows how to listen, knows when to speak and doesn't know how to make you feel bad. He has opinions, which he voices out when asked. He has advice, which is given when asked. He's true yet he knows how to be false. He's a smile though he knows how to be a frown.

ria:
mike -- one person i truly miss in school!!! si mike, napaka-totoong tao, matalino, mahusay kumanta, at mabuting kaibigan. ingat nga lang ang mga sensitibo kasi prangka yan! :p
