note to self 

Something you typically don't say aloud, just think to yourself, when making a "mental note" about something.

(When unable to fall asleep) Note to self: Don't ever have a double espresso right before bedtime again!

as a friend 

Used to "soften the blow" when you're about to be frank with someone about their lesser qualities, or when giving advice they might not want to hear.

"I'm telling you as a friend: If you're going on a date, you should take her out to to a restaurant, because your cooking really stinks."

"I'm telling you as a friend, you really shouldn't be drinking that much! I'm worried about you!"
