Are you tired of all those "sissy-ass" friendship poems that always sound good but never actually come close to reality? Well, here is a series of promises that really speaks of true friendship
1. When you are sad: I will help you get drunk and plot revenge against the sorry ass who made you sad!
2. When you are blue: I will dislodge what is choking you!
3. When you smile: I will know you finally got laid!
4. When you are scared: I will rag on you about it every chance i get!
5. When you are worried: I will tell you horrible stories about how much worse it could be and to quit whining!
6. When you are confused: I will use little words!
7. When you are sick: Stay the hell away from me until you are well again. I don't want whatever you have!
8. When you fall: I will point and laugh at your clumsy ass!
This is my oath. I pledge this till the end.
"Why?" you may ask, because you are my friend.
Send this to 10 of your closest friends, then get depresssed because you can only think of 4!
Remember:
A good friend will help you move on.
A really good friend will help you move a body.
Let me know if I ever need to bring a shovel!

not bad at all...
okay, so, the meaning of christmas, for a couple of decades now, has always been overshadowed by consumerism and commercialism...
this is the philippines, so, it's worse here. let me tell you why.
when the months start to hit "ber" (which of course starts with september) the filipino malls and most establishments start playing/broadcasting over the PA familiar christmas songs and the not-so-familiar and the "just plain irritating" version of any imaginable christmas song/jingle in such a way that when christmas actually arrives - you don't like hearing them anymore because it will cause you to vomit and turn psycho!
at the same time that these songs start, the christmas commercials also start.
christmas specials in september, october, november and december.
christmas' meaning gets lost in all these.
it's like the gold lost its luster.
however tragic this may seem i am fortunate to have with me my family this christmas.
they have ushered a new version of the meaning of christmas.
they have made me feel how a person should feel in times of giving and loving.
they are the reason why there is a christmas.
yes, christmas for me is nothing but a rest day. yes, i don't like the way christmas is being treated in this country. yes, christmas songs make me puke.
and yes, i am having a very merry christmas because i am loved.
i sincerely wish you the same thing.
