Are you happy now?

Why do you put people down? Does it make you feel good to tell others that they 'suck' ? Have you tried to do what they do? Can you exceed at everything they do? Are you them? No you're not. Does it make you feel good to tell others that they're 'soft'? Analytically, you're a bully with a low self esteem. To put others down you prove to be 'superior' because you can excel at one skill that they could not. I'd be careful with what you say to others because if you don't watch out, these 'nerds' have a vocabulary that would verbally murder you. Wouldn't it be embarassing if they could tell you that you're no good using big words ?

A friend is a friend.

What makes a friend? Is it someone you can have fun with ? Could your lab partner be considered a friend? What makes a friend, a friend ?

If you knew who I was, would you call me your friend? Why? Is it because we have mutual friends? Is it because we have fun with each other? Could it be because everyone else is friends with me? Why would you call me your friend?

"I believe in Angels, the ones that heaven sends
I believe in Angels, but i call them my best friends"

"A friend will strengthen you with her prayers, bless you with her love, and encourage you with her hope."

! " I'd like to be the sort of friend that you have been to me. . . I'd like to be the help you've always been glad to be; I'd like to mean as much to you each minute of the day, as you have meant, old friend of mine, to me along the way."

The quotes above all don't talk about people who just say things. They mention actions. To brighten one's life, to walk with someone; actions that refer to things you do. This is probably because actions speak louder than words. As said in earlier blogs, I am not because of what I can do, I am because of what I decide to do. You are not my friend because of what you say. You are my friend because of what you do. Any one you meet can give you good advice, but it is those who will walk to you that matter.

Have you ever had that friend who seems to go to expecting you to be there for them just when there really is no one left for them. Have you ever had that friend who sits with you in class, just because there is no one else. But if they had the chance you know that they would have probably gone to those popular, or ''fun'' people first. Yes we connect through what we say, but when the test of friendship comes, it is what that person does that really shows the extent of how far they would go for you.

Would you really take a bullet for me when you can't even go somewhere with me because you don't want to get into trouble. Think about what you say and think about what you would do. We're all amazing talkers. I mean, I am a talker. I talk more than I walk, but if you ask me, I would walk my talk.

There is an article that I have included about what friendship is. I agree with it very much, we will go through lives with many aquaintances. Look at your friends. How many would you honestly confide in? How many can you really truly talk to. Yes, from what I have just described those people would be your best friends. But what makes a friend ? Are you my friend because we're in the same class? Or are you my friend because we have things in common. We use friends as too light of a word. We could easily decribe our best friends because those people are practically family to us. But how do we downgrade a friend. I use to say to many people when they try to conive favours from me,
We are not friends. You are my classmate we are aquaintances.


Just because we tell someone we're not friends, it doesn't mean we have any negative feelings towards them. That is not an aquaintance anymore. An aquaintance is probably much more like someone who's just there. Like a chair almost, but not as shallow. You have no hate for this person, nor do you have any like for this person. They're just there. You would identify with this person, that you are aware of this person being there. But you wouldn't exactly call them your friend.

So what is a friend?

We each have our own definition of a friend. Some, probably the social butterflies may consider everyone their friend. I consider many people a friend, but for me a friend is someone who I don't feel awkward about. Is that a friend?

ThatsWhatLovesAbout

I've been thinking how to step to you
And still try my best to keep my cool
And make sure that I don't break the rules
(While I try to solve a mystery)
Now it seems that everybody knows
But it seems not everybody shows
That love is the only way to go
(No, it doesn't matter what you see)
All I want is for love to live
Let's learn to give love

When he is down you should help your brother
When it comes around we should help one another
Help build him up when he's down and out
(Ask what you can)
Do when you see he needs help from another
When it comes around we should help one another
Help build him up when he's down and out
That's what love's all about

What love's about; What love's about
What love's about

I'll keep trying hard to help you see
Cause I really wanna' make you see
Help you understand what love can be
(If you'd only, only just believe)
Is there anyway to keep it real
While I try to tell you what I feel
And make sure you really know the deal
(So can anybody talk to me)
All I want is for love to live
Let's learn to give love

When he is down you should help your brother
When it comes around we should help one another
Help build him up when he's down and out
(Ask what you can)
Do when you see he needs help from another
When it comes around we should help one another
Help build him up when he's down and out
That's what love's all about

What love's about; What love's about; What love's about
What love's about

I'm calling everyone around me
Won't you please, please; Oh tell me
What can make a bond grow stronger
Love can; Love can


When he is down you should help your brother
When it comes around we should help one another
Help build him up when he's down and out
(Ask what you can)
Do when you see he needs help from another
When it comes around we should help one another
Help build him up when he's down and out
That's what love's all about
[repeat]

What love's about; What love's about; What love's about
Ask what you can
What love's about; What love's about; What love's about
That's what love's all about

Speak now or forever hold your peace...

Oh man, does it ever confuse you how one small thing that you say can be misunderstood into a million and one different meanings? Is it ever possible that something is said, just as you heard it? When did it become that someone can not find another person attractive without someone assuming that you now 'like' that person. I mean, who can not identify a good looking man or woman?. Why is it that I can not just speak my mind. If I found something unbearable, why can I not say it? We always tell others when we're happy about something, so why can I not say that I am upset. Yes we look for a deep person, but at times things could only be put in such simple ways.

A little something...

Why is it that I become known for what I am not who I am. But then its about who you know not what you know that moves you forward?

Hey Stephen ♥

Hey Stephen, I know looks can be decieving but I know I saw a light in you
As we walked we were talking I didn't say half the things I wanted
to

Of all the girls tossing rocks at your window
I'll be
the one waiting there even when it's cold

Hey Stephen, boy you might
have me believin' I don't always have to be alone


Cuz I can't
help it
if you look like an angel
Can't help if I wanna kiss you
in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feelin' since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm I can't help
myself


Hey Stephen, I've been holding back this feeling so
I've got some things to say to you
I seen it all so I thought but I've
never seen nobody shine the way you do

The way you walk, way you
talk, way you say my name
It's beautiful, wonderful, don't you ever
change

Hey Stephen, why are people always leavin' I think you and I
should stay the same

Cuz I can't help it if you look like an
angel
Can't help if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel
this magic I've been feelin' since I met you

Can't help it if there's
no one else

Mmm I can't help myself

They're dimming the
streetlights
You're perfect for me, why aren't you here tonight
I'm
waiting alone now
so come on and come out and pull me near
Shine, shine,
shine

Hey Stephen, I could give you fifty reasons why I should
be the one you choose
All those other girls, well they're beautiful, but
would they write dedicate a song for you


Cuz I can't help it if you look like an angel
Can't help if I
wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel this magic I've been feelin'
since I met you
Can't help it if there's no one else
Mmm I can't help myself
If you look like an angel
Can't help it if I wanna kiss you in the rain so
Come feel
this magic I've been feelin'
since I met you
Can't help it if
there's no one else
Mmm I can't help myself

Oh,
oh
Myself
Mmmm Can't help myself
Can't
help myself

Oh, oh, oh

Crushes. There's a reason why they're called crushes. You get totally crushed with this emotion first of love, then or rejection.

That's Not My Name

Nerd. Jock. Popular. Cheerleader. Goth. Loner. Emo. Princess. Spoiled.
That's not my name.


I have only one label. That label is, my name.

I live up to my name. I live up to my own mind. Has anyone ever noticed that at a certain point in our life we forget who we are? Then we start to live up to what other's expect of us? When did we let that happen. Why do we let that happen ? When we're labelled we instantly find this need to be one type of person. A nerd can only be smart. The jock has to be good at all sports. The popular kids must always be perfect. Et cetera, et cetera. But we were all made to be different. To be unique. How many times can you vary the stereotype of a jock? Now I'm not saying we shouldn't live up to anything. We have parents who know what they're doing. They want us to live up to the name they've given us. We also have our own thoughts and interests. We could live through that. Just understand, we were given minds with thoughts and opinions. We should live by what we know, and decide to do. Not from what people see and what we can do.

ThoseLips;AJRAFAEL


Those Lips - AJ Rafael
why couldn't i just kiss those lips
i'd rather be rejected than regretting this
im tired of being afraid
i wish i coulda made
the choice to be the daring one in this relationship
i know were just friends but i want you to know
that i always think about being more
i guess i'll never know
I guess I’ll never know

how you feel
you got me wonderin'
i want you to be that somebody who
needs me just like how im needing you

but im just so scared
i could not prepare
for the moment when i looked you in the eyes
so i guess i'll just wait for that afternoon
we'll soak up the sun in the middle of june
i can't ask you to wait but you know that i can't stay
i'm a little too late
but you got me wonderin'
i'm holding on to this feeling i have
i've got it so bad i just cant shake it off
when will my mind just be clear
of this move i should've made
its killing me cuz kissing you
is what i wanna do
but now that youve got that somebody new
needs you just like how im needing you

i guess i'll fade away
and now my skies are gray
i'm a little too late

you've got me wonderin


Love. Who invented it? Why did they allow us teenagers to expierence it. It's such a hard thing. When your mind fights your heart and vice versa. Have you ever had the moment when you love someone you can't have? No, I don't mean loving Taylor Lautner. I meant you know. It's this unexplainable feeling. The way you admire someone. The way they give you butterflies. Why does this fluttering feeling have to accompany love. The feeling of getting nauseous is just so horrible. Is it possible to love someone you don't want to? Have you ever had the need to love someone you can't? You know there are a million reasons. Your mind knows it, but for some reason your heart just doesnt get it. Why did God make us with two minds ?

What Am I?

What am I ? Am I a jock ? Am I cool ? Am I a nerd ? Am I popular ? Why is it that I ask 'What am I'?




An unfortunate thing that has become of our society is that we have become 'Whats'. Upon meeting someone new, what do we usually ask ? We ask them 'What are you?' Are you a Filipino? Are you Canadian ? What are you? Since when have we lost who we are? The value of who we are has decreased. Society has learned to judge us on our material objects, to our marketable skills. Since when had it become so important or so necessary to find out what we are. We are people. We are not these objects that can just be seen or felt. We have thoughts, opinions, voices to be heard. Yes many of us are able to overcome what we are when we socialized. But what had initially attracted to you to that 'friend' ? Was it the fact that they were pretty, or an athlete? What was it ? See. Does it really matter whether we are good looking, athletic, or rich ? Examine your friendships with your friends, did any of these traits ever have any real effect on what you guys do? Did your friends looks, skills or such matter when you needed them most? If they make no difference in our relationships, why do we consider them so important?

In a social society we have learned to market ourselves on what we do. Many of us aspire to become whatever can get us the most money or fame. We make a competition to who can be the best. We socialize through how marketable we are. Unfortunately, this is how we meet our friends. But have you ever wondered what goes on through the mind of that person beside you? Have you ever wondered if they could help you, or talk to you ?

Milestones

Each first we have becomes an important part of our life. It's been said that there is a first for everything, and I would just like to say, 'Duh!' Each first is a beginning, how do you do something without beginning it ? Catch my drift ? Well back to firsts, this is my very first blogspot. Oh boy, let's take a kodak moment for my album. Well what do I talk about here ? Do I continue with talking about firsts ? My first word ? Steps? School? To be honest I don't really remember those importants firsts, and it's not as if I have any other firsts. But I will try to tell you when I have my first love, drink, smoke uhm you knooow ;) Ahahaha. Well How was this first ? Was it as good for me as it was for me ? Ahaha. Well I'm at school and I gotta bounce now. Just understand if you keep following this blog, expect some more sappiness, cheese, and all of those 'deep things'. I told you its a walk through my mind. Better bring some life jackets if you're gonna keep walking through my mind cause it is deep.
