A Sad Thought

Can you really say you’ve been a good friend? We know friendships are unquantifiable. We cannot easily measure and recall what we’ve done good to that certain person. We don’t want to sound and look like we’ve been counting what we’ve done to them right?

But what really made friendship click is not just the time you laughed out loud or shared a common thing or two. It’s not only the times you shared problems and listen to ones complaints. And as what I repeatedly say, it’s not measured by how long and how much you know about each other.

I truly value a friend when he or she knows how to respect.
Respect on your space and silence.
Respect that he or she should never shared explicit details of your life.
Respect the value that he or she shouldn’t shared your secrets to anyone cause you gave your complete trust to them.

I was completely annoyed to this one when s/he made fun of a thing that I did or do. I know I was a bit sensitive but that person should be aware that I could even hear him/her telling details of what happened and shortly heard giggles. It’s not really an issue but I really wished s/he didn’t do that. I just said “wow, salamat ah!”

After class I went back to my dorm, I asked myself what the hell I did wrong to deserve that. Wherein fact I’ve been good to them. I don’t want to account any details but some of us have the self-sacrificing attitude towards our friends. I guess being far away from our families; we have the thought that our friends are the closest thing of having one.

The most frustrating that can happen or did actually happen when you’re considered friends don’t have any support to any decisions you make. They may either be angry to you or tell you things you don’t want to hear. You don’t want their approval right? You just wanted their opinion.

The reasons why do I have trust issues… I can say I have few real and true friends. I also have attachment issues but that’s another story. hehe

I’m not saying that they have to change for me. But I believe a little sensitivity won’t hurt. I’m not saying that they should act like me, but a responsible act will do. I ‘m not saying they should speak and think like me, because I don’t want them to be boring like me.

I guess this explains why I prefer to eat alone. Or better stay in y dorm room.

Good thing I got high marks from my two other exams to deviate my thoughts! Cheers!

the secret to happiness is lowered expectations.

you expect too much from friends, and get disappointed if they fail to do what you expect them to do. that's just fair, pero ako i just let my friends surprise me when they do something special.

ika nga, hope for the best, but don't expect too much.

in semantic studies, putting he/she and him/her must mean something, not just totally about being politically correct.

are you hiding something, doctor?

for me, great companies requires that we have same interests. There are people whom you are allergic with and if I am allergic to a person, then I would avoid them.

Qualifying them in terms of being true friends really depends on trust factor.

So far, I think I haven't encountered assholes yet as what Kris just said.

@doc dak - siguro we have the same attitude naman in some ways. or pwede din akong masyadong sensitive.

better to be alone than to have a bad companion. (yaks! that's very classic)

not because you label them as "friends", you're forced to get along with them.

wag misyadong disappointed,
you're capable of being loved by EVERYONE.

sayang ang mala-jc de vera mong mukha, kaya ngiti ka lang dyan. hehe.

nagulat ako ng tawagin ka ni fb na kuya. ay oo nga pala magkasing edad lang pala tayo doc ced.

hindi ko masasabing mabuting kaibigan ako sa mga kaibigan ko. pero tinatry ko ang lahat ng mabuti para maging mabuti din ang relasyon naming magkaibigan.

ndi din natin siguro maiwasan yung nagawa ng kaibigan mong yun, tanga lang sya kasi ndi nya naisip na naririnig mo pala yung mga kinukwento at tsinitsismis nya.

ikaw na humusga sa akin kung mabuti akong kaibigan doc ced! :D

the beauty of/in life is, you don't know what's gonna happen next. Back in college, I abhorred this one girl but after graduation, that bitch became my bestfriend. :)
