What Friendship Means To Me

What friendship really means to you? There are tons and tons of meanings of friendship. Some say that friendship is like a wall that you can lean on whenever you are weak or down. Some say friendship is like a see-saw, when your friend is down, you push your friend up. Some say friendship is always there no matter what you do. That, i don't agree. Because for me, a friend must be on your side when you are doing right, but if not, you will be the one to let your friend realize that your friend is not doing right. I don't defend a friend even though i know that my friend is doing crazy things such as making mistakes, saying something bad towards others even though the person is not doing anything bad towards your friend, and most of all living in a fantasy world that none of us can never have that kind of world, perfect and there's always happiness. Heck no! There's no such world as like that! Real world is what we are living right now! As for my opinion and my own belief, friendship should be real, trusty, honest, and has loyalty. Because if you don't have one of those, then friendship is worthless. You can never say that friendship is being bonded so strong if there is lacking to your relationship towards your friend.

I myself is one friendly person. I am way better now compared before. A loner person and had a bitter heart. Why? Because i undergone so many things that made the bitterness grew in my heart. But that bitterness melted away, love and happiness replaced it when i got married and gave birth to my very first child. I learned how to love, how to be happy and became friendly to everyone i meet, whether online or offline people. I have so many friends offline and online now but only few that i called real ones. I have communications and got interacted already for a long time to those real ones that i considered. That way, i get to know the person real closely. I am trying to be as friendly as i can be but my instinct says that i should not be too trusty to everyone because some of them aren't real to me.

I love making new friends, i really do. But if i feel that i am not so comfortable to that certain person, i wouldn't insist myself and will just try to be civil. I am a very straight forward person and an open minded one. If i don't feel like it, i won't do it. As what most people say, that no one cannot please everyone. If i pleased you, i would be so happy to know that, but if not, then i am not sorry at all. I make friends to those people that has same interests like i do, same character and same points of view in life. Some of my real good friends confessed their first impressions to me that i am a snobbish type of person, a sarcastic and a mean one. But as they got to know me better, they said that i am worth to get to know of. It's so flattering when you hear that from a person telling you, and that's what i feel whenever there's a friend tells me that.

I value real friendship, i respect my friends and i treat them like my family. I give them advice and will accept their advice to me as well. Like i said, i am an open minded person, so whatever you like to say to me, just say it in front of me, i don't care if what you are going to tell me will hurt me but will make me learn in the end. I don't like those people that keeps on praising me, or giving me sweet words for i know i am not a perfect individual and i have shortcomings. So that's why i don't expect a perfect comments about me from people. Also, i may not be as religious like the others but i can be a real true friend that you can lean on, but if you don't like me, i cannot do anything about it and i don't really care. So if you want to make friends with me, the pleasure is all mine, make sure that your friendship that you offer me is real and genuine. If so, i guarantee you that your friendship won't be wasted, i will accept it wholeheartedly.

New Home For My Family

Our house is somewhat enough for my family. Although it isn't that big and not that luxurious to live in, still it's a perfect place for me and for my family. My husband bought this house seventeen years ago and renovated it. It has huge backyard where our kids can play as long as they want, and has enough rooms for us couple and for our kids as well. There's only one little problem with this house, there is a guests room downstairs but there is no bathroom there. Whenever we have guests, we are the one's will go downstairs to sleep instead of the guests so they don't have to come up here to use the bathroom.

There are a lot of home plans that i saw and love some of those house arrangements including the landscape. In our house, we never can get a nice garden in our front yard since our house is shady, lots of trees around it plus the sun doesn't hit where the yard is. I told my husband that someday when the kids are big enough, we probably get a new house and will take a look some of the house plans that we like so we can decide what kind of house design should we get. Hubby said getting a new house is one big decision but it would be a great idea if we move when the kids are big enough so they can have their own each room and not sharing one room together. I already have in my mind the house idea that i really liked, thanks to the house plan that i searched, there's tons of ideas i got from them and got me even more excited to have a new home for my lovely family.

Dreamland Yet Depressing Country

I have heard a lot of immigrants here in America whining how depressing this country is, whether it's online or offline. Before i even got here, i didn't hear such whines and complaints how sad and lonely to be in this wealthy country that most people called "MILK AND HONEY" country. When i was young, i remembered that i always hear a lot of people talking about this lovely country where i am at now. They always praise how lovely to be in this country, how wealthy the people here, how lucky to those who were able to get in here. In my innocent mind, what kind of place are they talking about? Maybe a paradise? A heaven kind of like? I had no idea then since i was just a little girl and wasn't aware of real life yet.

But now that i am here, i can somehow relate to what they are saying. Yes it is a very lovely place to live, even though that my husband and i are just ordinary kind of people here in America, yet we live with a decent kind of life. We can buy things that we want for ourselves and for our kids, we can eat the food that we like to eat, we can do whatever we want to do. Compared to my country, a lot of people are starving and don't have a decent life. Poverty is known in my beloved country, it's sad to say but that's the fact. A lot of people doesn't have a decent life, no job to support one's family, the labor is not enough for the financial needs, even to those singles, how much more to those who are married?

Some of my colleagues is been telling me how lucky i am that i am in this dream country. Yes i somewhat agree to them that i am lucky, i have my lovely family of my own here and i am a bit spoiled to my sweet loving husband. Hubby can provide our daily needs and can buy the things that we want. But, America can never ever replace Philippines in my heart. What do you expect? I pretty much live my whole life in there since birth! I can now fully understand what most immigrants are whining about. No matter how luxurious kind of life you have here, still you are going to look for your own homeland, you will still miss it and long for it.

Living here in America sure is quite different. From cultures, there's four seasons in a year, the food, the surroundings, the people, everything! But i have to deal with all these since i am now living here with my own family. I should say, yes America is a depressing country but then on the other hand, it's a land where you dream to live.

Taking A Degree

My friend and i have been planning to go to school this coming school year. Right now i am still thinking of what should i take that will keep me going and will not regret later on for taking such a degree. My friend is now sure of what she is going to take, she is going to take the health information technology degree. I am not so certain if am good at it or i will survive to that kind of degree since i don't really know a whole lot of that kind of degree. For me i am going to take nursing. Ever since when i was young i have been dreaming to be one, wearing white and will take care of sick people that needs my service. My friend is excited for another step of her journey, and i am wishing her for the best, i hope she will finish her degree and will be able to find a very good opportunity that will give her a better and brighter future.

Blog Makeover

As you all noticed that this blog has been replaced its layout. I want to thank Miss Carlota the expert layout designer for taking the time to make this very simple yet elegant look of my blog. I have been wanting to replace the layout of this blog long time ago but i wasn't able to. I have had so many things to do that i need to prioritize than to give a little time to do the make over of this blog. And now that i finally got it, i may keep this new look for long, maybe for permanent. I am just too happy that this blog's layout has been replaced. I can't have bold and dark colored layouts anymore, my eyes is getting bad and the previous look of this blog is been hurting my poor eyes. I so love this new look because it's calm and cool to my eyes. I am more excited to update this blog everyday...
