Every person in your barkada definitely has an important role. Maybe you’re the mom of the group where you like to have discipline and coordination or the happy-go-lucky one who likes to go with the flow of life and live like there’s no tomorrow?

Here are the types:

CAPTAIN, OH CAPTAIN!

Considered as the protector of the barkada. You can always count on him when you are in trouble. Usually the father of the barkada has a big body so you can ask him a quick favor to carry heavy things for you. Lol don’t forget to say thank you!

MOM

The one who’s going to calm you down when you’re experiencing a life crisis and gives you the advice you need. She’s approachable, ready to listen to all of your dramas in life especially your dramas about heartbreak and is also ready to witness your cry sessions.

THE CONSERVATIVE MARIA CLARA

She has the strictest and most old-school life approach in the group. The one who doesn’t like to hear bad words coming through your big mouth or using the middle finger when someone pisses them off. A very calm person.

MR/MS INDEPENDENT

This type of friend can travel whenever and wherever she likes even though he/she isn’t familiar to that place. He/she can do all the things without any help, but executes it adequately. Often known as the role model of the group because of her independent traits.

THE MSSING-IN-ACTION

The ghost of the barkada. He/she is always expected absent on most barkada get-togethers. Always the one who can’t make it because he/she is not permitted by their parents. You don’t need to approach this person to come to every bonding moments of the barkada.

Y.O.L.O

Nothing can stop him/her to party all night long or even all day long. Likes to think that life is definitely too short to put aside how you want to live life. 

THE ONE WHO’S ALWAYS LATE

‘Late ka nanaman?’ I guess in every barkada there’s always that one person whose always late no matter how early you set the time. But if they say that they will be there, pray that they arrive early.

THE HAPPY MONSTER

The one whose laugh is way waaaay funnier than all of his/her friends’ jokes combined. His/her contagious laughter can make you laugh harder even though you find yourself laughing at the joke thrown by somebody in your barkada.

THE SUCCESSFUL ONE IN THE FUTURE

via GIPHY
If your barkada is composed of crazy people, worry no more because every barkada has at least one super smart, super goal digger, overly “bibo” friend. The next big thing of the barkada. He/she has the potential to be everything at once (president of the student council always wins in every essay writing contest, etc.)

THE ONE WHO’S ALWAYS HAVING A “LATE REACTION DISEASE”

via GIPHY
This friend would pretend to laugh and get the joke…like he/she don’t get the joke at all. Everyone’s already dying and rolling on the floor laughing because of the joke that made the whole barkada crack up.

THE ALWAYS AVAILABLE FRIEND
via GIPHY
This type of friend is always free even if it’s already midnight. You can probably count on him/her on a boring weekend because he’s/she’s someone you want to accompany you to check out the latest food spot or to just come to your place to talk about life. He/she is just a hero in disguise.

THE PLANT
via GIPHY
He/she is just living and awkward. No reaction at all. Croo-Croo type of friend.

So have you figured out which one are you? 😛
