Inside No. 9

Series 4, Episode 6 - Tempting Fate

the 5th level!

this morning i was in my CDE110 class. we watched a 1973 short movie called Cipher in the Snow... the main focus of that short movie is this young boy and how it seems like nobody really cares about his existence. it made me realize that being neglected like that can result to a sudden death of an individual. the boy chose to die and my instructor told us that it is really happening in our society. there are people out there who choose to die rather than to live in this cruel society. they might not really like to die but they think it's better compared to being neglected, an outcast and treated like they're not really existing.

and then we also got to discuss about the five levels of friendship that Robert Selman came up with. according to Selman the five levels of friendship are:

Momentary Playmateship (3-5 years old)-- it is based on proximity

One-way Assistance (4-9 years old)-- it is based on "what you can do for me?"

Two-way, fair-weather cooperation (6-12 years old)-- they're friends until they can no longer cooperate.

Intimate and mutually shared (9-15 years old)-- it is based on possiveness and loyalty. there's a need to have a constant communication. most girls tend to only do well in pairs and they are mutually exclusive for each other. while most guys tend to be part of a large group.

Autonomous and Interdependent (12 years old and above)-- they don't have to agree on everything. they can have diverging interests. and most importantly, they don't have to have constant communication.

and all our relationships fall into any of these levels. the relationship for each person can be in any of the spectrum.

as we we're discussing about these levels of friendship,four names came up to my mind immediately... CJ and Ronald, my friends in PI and Jessica and Cassie, my friends that i haven't met in person.

CJ is my sis gaga. i met her when i was in my sophomore year. we didn't actually became close friends until our junior year. since then, she was my "living diary"...well that's how my other friends refer to her coz i can cry and laugh with her anytime. she knows everything that's happening in my life since we've been friends. i became too dependent to her. i had this feeling that without her i would be nothing. i didn't even realize that she would have an impact in my life until the day she gave me a letter before i leave PI. she said she is very thankful to me because i became friends with her. she didn't expect to be friends with me because i am so different from her. i was the crazy and loud girl while she's the studious, shy girl. but the truth is, i am the one who is very thankful to have her as my sis gaga. i didn't also expect to be friends with her but i guess i am lucky to be able to have that special relationship with her. i know it's been three long years since we last saw each other. there was even a period where i thought she totally forgot about me. but our friendship is the proof that distance doesn't mean it's over. i always try to keep in touch with her through instant messages and i'm glad she's also making an effort to make our friendship last long. i hope our 'sis gaga' relationship will be forever. through thick or thin, we'll be sisters! i love her so much and i want her to know how much grateful i am to met her and be her sis gaga. =)

Ronald is my guy best friend. i met him since i was in elementary. we did a lot of childish things a crazy kiddo can think of. he knows a lot about my life, even my heartaches because he witnessed all my embarrassing experience regarding crushes and love. he was there laughing at my kagagahan but i know he's there because he cares about me. Ronald has been an amazing friend especially during my last two years in PI before we moved. we we're partners in crime and kalokohan. we were the ones who cracks the jokes in the class, more like the center of attraction attention and i was the one who loves to make the drama while he's the one who's best at teasing and comforting me. i haven't told him how much thankful i am to be one of his friends because i always feel like our friendship is just because we're classmates. i often doubt his kindness towards me. i often feel like he doesn't like me. but that's not the real deal because i know he also cherishes our moments together back then. even until now, he is the only person who constantly check on me, idk if it's because he misses me and my crazy drama or because he is just bored. but whatever, i just know he is my guy best friend and that'll remain forever.

Jessica and Cassie are the first two people i met online.haha cool right? making friends online =) anyways, i haven't met them in person but there's something inside me telling they are my friends. they are special and they already have a special place in my heart. i love how we have lots of common interests and that they don't judge me. they have been really good to me. i am indeed very thankful to be friends with these two amazing girls. i wanna thank them for their concerns, the time they spent chatting with me until 3am, their updates about the boys and most of all their "jia yous". i really appreciate it because with that "jia you" i feel like someone believes in me. those encouragements and concerns will always be well kept in my heart. thanks girls! i hope to meet you in person one day. i hope you both will not get tired of me and my craziness. let's be friends forever =)

now, i am thinking about my relationships with my close friends and i don't really know if i can categorize them each but i am sure that i managed to have a relationship on the 5th level. and i am thankful for having them as my friends and being a part of my life. i would love to tell you guys that i'll always be here for you too. i love you and i will always be grateful for being blessed with such good friends like you. i would love to keep in touch with all of you and have a long-lasting relationship with each one of you. thank you so much guys! without you i'll be alone, helpless and an outcast ;) thanks for the encouragement, concern, love and memories! let's make more memories together!!! <333
