What is a Friend?

noreply@blogger.com (Helen Rose) — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 02:45:00 +0000

Many people have asked themselves that question. Also, many people have different answers. Webster’s Dictionary defines a friend as "a person whom you know well and like; supporter of a cause." Of course, there are many different levels of friends. For instance, there are acquaintances, "situational" friends, true friend, good friends and best friends. Lets break them down one by one ok... here it goes;
Acquaintances. These are people that we meet, like somewhat and enjoy their company for a short period of time. However, rarely do we socialize with them beyond where we know them except at a specific event. An example of an acquaintance is someone that you might meet at work or at therapy or at your kid’s soccer game. When the two of you are together at the event, you talk but only on a superficial level. There is no trust per say in this kind of relationship. It never goes beyond the first layer of trust. We can have many of these. However, if we do not see these individuals, we won’t miss them. These individuals come and go in your life all the time.
Situational Friends. This is a term that I believe that I have coined. A definition of a situational friend in my opinion is a person that has a specific interest in common with you. For instance, there are bible study friends, reading club friends, garden friends, etc. You get my drift. This is a person that you may see once or twice a week but only for specific reasons. Again, you never see this person socially. Never meet outside the specific common interest. The difference between an acquaintance and a situational friend is trust. You and your situational friend have developed a level of trust between you. You have gone beyond the level of the first layer with this individual. This is a person that can offer you some although minimal comfort in a time of need for you. In my experience, you can have somewhere around 5 or 6 of these kinds of friends. If we don’t see these individuals, we miss them situationally but not from our heart. For instance, Mary wasn’t at the book club this week. That’s too bad because she always has great insight. These individuals come and go in your life all the time.
True Friend. A true friend is a friend till the end. For an individual to become a true friend of yours there has to be chemistry and many times longevity between you. Simple common interests won’t transform someone from a situational friend to a true friend. This is a person that you want to have contact with often. More than likely, you have a long history with a true friend. I say this because human beings for the most part take time to develop a true friendship. IWe have all heard of "love at first sight." This is where there is an immediate attraction between a man and a woman. They fall in love and get married sometimes without even knowing each other. Have you ever heard of "friendship at first sight?" I haven’t. That’s because when there is true friendship, there is deep trust. You open up and expose a good part of you to this other person and they to you. This takes time. A true friend is someone that you can call in the middle of the night in the winter during a snowstorm and ask them to come and pick you up because your car broke down. Simply, they say sure. They don’t ask questions like " did you call a tow truck, what about your father, did you call Jerry? They don’t grump, simply, there are there for you. That is the true measure of a true friend, they are there for you where ever, whenever you need them and you for them. These individuals have gone deep in the layers of trust with you. They haven’t gone all the way because individuals still at this level hold back something.True friendship has to be reciprocal. Both parties feel the same way. These are friendships that last forever. These are friendships that can adversely affect you should something go wrong because you care. These friendships are hard to come by. In my opinion, if during your lifetime you have 3 or 4 true friends, then you are a lucky person. A true friend is someone that you love.
Best Friend. A best friend has to be a true friend first. One simply does not jump from a situational friend to a best friend. Can you have more than one best friend? Maybe at different stages of your life! Best friends are individuals that you completely open your soul to. They know everything about you. There is more than chemistry with this person; there is a bond. Best friends will fight for one another. Be there during critical times. Console you. Congratulate you. There is no jealously between best friends. When something good happens to you best friend, it happens to you. Conversely, when something bad happens to your best friend, it also happens to you. That I believe is the difference between a true friend and a best friend. True friends will care when either something good or bad happens to you. They will be there for you but not on the same level as a best friend. I know it sounds funny but any of you who have had adversity or elation and have had the privilege of having a true and best friend know what I’m talking about.A best friend is someone that you will entrust your kids with should something happen to you which I believe is the ultimate expression of friendship. They will go outside of their comfort zone to accommodate you, as you would do for them. Best friends are extremely hard to come by. Some people go their whole lives without ever having a best friend.
"Those of you who have one are very lucky. For those of you who have had more that one in their live time, you are truly blessed."

Why They Come and Go?

noreply@blogger.com (Helen Rose) — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 02:10:00 +0000

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person…
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season. LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put w hat you have learned to use in all other rela tionships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
"To all who passed my in my life..thank you for being a part of me. I sure do miss you but i forever treasure the memories and the lessons i've learned."

Coffee Time

noreply@blogger.com (Helen Rose) — Sun, 26 Jul 2009 01:58:00 +0000

Good morning everyone, hows your weekened so far so going? Well for me, i don't have much things done yesterday. I was just reading my notes and alot of sleeping hehehe. Now, its about 10:15 here in the morning. I just woke up awhile ago and as the usual routine having coffee infront of my computer. That is the very first thing I do in the morning before i even totally be awake. Whew, tomorrow is the start of my prelim exam. Wish me luck guys! After, my examination i plan to go to the tailoring who make my very elegant school uniform to pick it it, im so excited about it. So, How are you doing my cyber friends? is everybody happy? I hope so... thats is the most important thing in life to be HAPPY! Have a wonderful day!

Prelim is Fast Approaching

noreply@blogger.com (Helen Rose) — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 23:48:00 +0000

Good morning everyone! Maybe you wonder this early in the morning why i am up already. Well, i went to bed at around 2:30 AM after posting several topics here to start. Then, i woke up around 7:30AM as i was studying while sleeping. I laterally woke up talking about my medical lecture. Talking some medical terms. Whew, now i am so confident that i am going to pass my prelim next week from Monday to Friday as i am trying to study hard even in my sleep...hehehe. Speaking of prelim, you know, i never expect that days come by so fast as it seems like yesterday when i walk in the office of MTC Academy to inquire about it and before the day ended i found myself taking the entrance exam to enroll there. What i love being an MT is its a short course and a very interesting one. You will study so hard all about medicines, sickness, medical terminologies and many more things just like in a medical field. When we graduate, we still be M.D's (murag doktor, as what they put it) heheheh. The neat thing about being an MT is you nly deal with doctors and incode everything and understand everything so you can give the right or actual report to the patient. You need to have the typing skills. Whew, minimum of 40 words per minute. We also study about different foriegn accent so we would understand what the doctor's saying. Anyways, wish me luck on my exams folks. Have a good weekend!

Lady's Guidelines

noreply@blogger.com (Helen Rose) — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 17:34:00 +0000

Never live your life for a man before you find what makes you truly happy.
Don’t settle if you feel like your man is stringing you along, then he probably is.
Stop trying to change yourselves for a relationship that’s not meant to be.
Don’t stay because you think “It will get better”.
The only person you can control in a relationship is YOU.
Stop making excuses for a man and his behavior.
You cannot change a man’s behavior , change come’s from within.
Don’t ever make him feel his more important than you are…
even if he has more education or in a better job.
Never let a man define who you are.
Never let a man know everything because some men will use it against you.
Remember that compromise is a two-way street.
Don’t fully commit to a man who doesn’t give you everything that you need…
Trust…respect…commitment…assurance…love…loyalty and Honesty.

Hello ladies out there, i hope this will help us in anyway as we should take this as a guidelines. Life is to short to be lonely, wondering and thinking about what if's, should've, could've and etc. Am I right?? See ya around ok. Thats all for now.

It's Me...

noreply@blogger.com (Helen Rose) — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 16:40:00 +0000

Well... well... well... before i everything, it would be very nice to introduced myself first and tell you about me little by little ok. I am Helen Rose S. Juni, you can call me "Helen or Rose" but my friends and family call me "Ging" thats my nickname. I was born on the second day of October, year 1985. I am the eldest of 7 children in the family. I have 4 brothers and 2 sisters. I am a student taking up Medical Transcription Course and hoping to be a medical transcriptionist someday. I am separated, well its a very long story but at the right time we will come to that. I have been married for almost 3 years and been separated for a year now. Anyway, maybe its my destiny. I was meant to be married at an early age and then didn't work out so we decided to go on our separate ways. He was my first boyfriend, my first love, my first experienced and my first in so many things. I thought that we would be together for the rest of our lives as i have dreamt but i was very wrong. I have been through alot of turmoil in my life and i take them as my stepping stone and my guidlines in taking my journey ahead. Life is wonderful afterall. That's all for now, this is just the beginning... more and more later ok. Just keep coming back..:-^) Thanks!

Hello everyone, wow it feels good to be back on track again. Actually i had few blogs sites before but i decide to turn it down as i can't keep up with it because of the ordeals that i have been through. Well, its not easy...life is not easy but i learned so much from it and now i am moving on. As part of my "moving on stage" i am here to share you some inspirational/ motivational things about life.

4. Don’t take yourself so seriously. No one else does.

14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn’t be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don’t worry; God never blinks.

35. Whatever doesn’t kill you really does make you stronger.
36. Growing old beats the alternative — dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood. Make it memorable.
