How would I write this query

Im a bit new to the model system, trying to understand how I would do
a query like so.

SELECT Friend.*, User.username, User.avatar, User.handler FROM friends
AS Friend, users AS User WHERE Friend.status = 'approved' AND
((user_id = ':user_id') OR (friend_id = ':user_id')) AND User.id =
Friend.user_id ORDER BY Friend.requestTime ASC LIMIT 0,5

It would also need pagination. It works similar to myspace/facebook
etc friend lists.
