TRUE FRIENDSHIP

Have you ever wondered what the real essence of the saying "A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed" is? People talk about the true value of friendship actually without knowing what it stands for. True friendship is the one, in which the individuals do not have to maintain formalities with each other. Sharing true friendship is the situation, when the person you are talking about is counted as one among your family members, when the relation you share with him/her reaches a stage that even if you don't correspond for sometime, your friendship remains unscathed. Best friends need not meet up often to make sure that the friendship remains constant.

The trust between best friends is such that if one friend falls in trouble, the other will not think twice to help. If the bond between two friends is strong, true friends can endure even long distances. For them, geographical separation is just a part of life. It would not affect their friendship. They make it a point to stay in touch, even in the verge of being exhausted due to the drudgery of everyday life. True friendship never fades away. In fact, it grows better with time. True friendship thrives on trust, inspiration and comfort. Best friends come to know, when the other person is in trouble, merely by listening to their "Hello" over the phone. They can even understand each other's silence. 

True friends don't desert each other when one is facing trouble. They would face it together and support each other, even if it is against the interests of the other person. Best friends don't analyze each other; they don't have to do so. They accept each other with their positive and negative qualities. Nothing is hidden between true friends. They know each other's strengths as well as weaknesses. One would not overpower the other. They would respect each other's individuality. In fact, they would understand the similarities and respect the differences. Best friends don't stand any outsider commenting or criticizing their friendship and they can put up a very firm resistance, if anyone does so. 

True friends are not opportunists. They don't help, because they have something to gain out of it. True friendship is marked by selflessness. Best friends support even each other, even if the whole world opposes them. It is not easy getting true friends for the lifetime. If you have even one true friend, consider yourself blessed. Remember, all best friends are friends, but not all friends can be best friends. In this world of cynics and back stabbers, there are still some people who are worth being friends with. They have to be recognized and respected for being best friends, for the lifetime.

Oh My Fashion!!!!!!!

    

  Nowadays,as you can notice most teenagers worry too much about fashion.They really admire models and other icons. Some teenagers, specially girls, give much importance to what they wear and to what is trendy. While some people wear some clothes because it is what other people wear and not because they like it. And, in some cases, they don’t even look well in those clothes. Others want to change their physical appearance just to look like famous people because they think they are perfect.They are idolizing someone's look,no matter how they look like as long as they look uncommon to other.That is the trend of fashion in our society today.

     If you can observe(correct me if i am wrong),teenagers worry really a lot about their physical appearance so that they spend too much money on fashion stuff.Aside from that,teenagers worry also about their look because they are influenced by advertising and the media, especially the girls who want to look like models and to be perfect. They spend a lot of money on stuff to look pretty, and sometimes even when they are pretty amazing, they still have a last look at the mirror, and think that they are not still pretty enough, or that something is not still right that's why sometimes they look like a christmas tree that have a lot of ornamentals in the body(abubot sa katawan). 

        As a whole teenagers are very vain in fashion no matter happen just for fashion trend they will do everything,but in other side we can say that being addictive in fashion is perfectly normal part of growing up in the part of teenagers.They must only remember that they should be more  natural and have their own  personality.Always put in mind that there are more important things more than FASHION......
