This article has long been over due, but its high time I dedicate something to my friends.
Very few people understand what it is to have true friends. Regardless of the number of quotes they send you or the amount of time they are able to spend with you ,true friends are people who will always have your back, understand and accept who you truly are, will always make you smile when your feeling down, know from the look on your face that your depressed, open new horizons and make you see the world in a different light, they make you better, they will stand by you during the worst of times and not only for the best of them, and most of all they just make life that much more sweeter to live.

While we are all going about our lives, living and maturing we will all lose and gain many friends. Make and break bonds. Share laughter and tears. But the part that made you friends will always remain.. During the times you felt like you could relax and really be yourself, and you were laughing too much that it brought tears to your eyes, those will be the moments that enrich your life.

I'm one of the lucky few who was able to get to know wonderful people. They made me who I am today. May it be through direct or indirect ways, still they always had an impact. Some may not call me friend anymore but still I hold them close to my heart. They may not know it, but I will always have their back. Sure circumstances have changed and the degree of my friendship with some of them might be limited, still. "May pinagsamahan''

They are family and they are like extensions of who I am. When their sad I'm sad, when they're pissed I'm pissed, when they laugh I laugh. I miss so many of them terribly and I wish that most of the things in life weren't pushing so many of them away, but somethings can't be helped. In the grand scheme of things you can only do so much and then roll with the punches. No matter what, even if we didn't part ways in a good way, I always wish them well.

My friends are my saviours, my angels, my partners in crime, the best of the bunch, my intellectual equals, people who will laugh at the corniest of jokes, opinionated, sometimes rowdy, unique people out there. They made my life brighter... so I dedicate this article to them.

One day I was ranting to my friend about my very sucky day. I admit my problem was at the most shallow, but the response I got from my friend just left me even more pissed off. After hearing about my problem she took a very long pause to reply, but all she said was..

"You shouldn't be so sensitive. You're better off anyway with having just THAT as your problem."

I was so angry that the person I was ranting to, the person I was hoping to take my side regardless of what my problem could have been, dismissed it like I just stepped on poo or something. At that point I was thinking all sorts of things... most of them along the lines of..

Better off??? Are you kidding me when I have to worry about A and B. I constantly have to keep C in mind.. I may not be worrying about world hunger but why is my problem any less important?

But when I woke up the next day I finally cooled down enough to see what she meant.
We all have our problems, and we all have our off days. But sometimes it takes a little effort to step back and see that sometimes your problems just aren't worth worrying over. Though we can't say that we should judge how big or small or problems are in relation to the problems of others, we should at least keep in mind that no matter how down in the dumps you might be, you might still be the one better off.

If your reading this online then your already more privileged then most people on the planet.
If you have a roof over your head and a clean bed to sleep in, then your already in the lap of luxury compared to most people living in the Philippines.
If you go to school and get a worth while education then you have a good chance of securing a bright future.
If you can eat when your hungry, sleep when your tired, take a bath when you dirty, sing when you feel like singing, cry when you feel like crying, dance when you feel like dancing, and just live life then believe me when i say.. YOU ARE BETTER OFF.

So forget about something that might be weighing your head or heart down. Sometimes they end up not being worth it.

So many times in my life have I had encounters with the dull and dimwitted types. So much so that I decided to start classifying them. See if you have ever met or seen the following... :}

1.) Idioticapapele - This are the types of idiots that you encounter in the classroom. The ones that never seem to listen when the teacher is giving out instructions on the paper size for tests:

Teacher: Time for a pop quiz. Take out a 1/2 sheet of intermediate pad.
Idioticapapele: Mam what size paper mam?

2.) Idoticatabukis - You see this type best when your in a car. They're the ones who always seem to cross the intersection when the light turns green. Or sometimes they're mothers who choose the busiest part of the highway to cross with a toddler (almost always ignoring to use a sky walk). Or they can be the ones that run when crossing the street but stop halfway to the other side. The most usual case I have seen is the deer-caught-in-headlights type of idioticatabukis. Those are the ones that actually stop in the middle of the street when they see a car coming.

3.) Idioticamedicalis - These are the self medicating types. They're the ones who are either too lazy or too proud to go to the doctor, most of them end up drinking a laxative for a headache. Those are okay but the ones I can't stand are the ones who have serious ailments but seek alternative forms of treatment. Slapping yourself with a tree branch won't make tuberculosis go away people!!!!! Lying on a bed with flashing lights won't cure cancer!!!!

4.) Idioticapalagpatis - These are usually the types who say things that, more often than not, turn out to be false. There is certainly nothing wrong in being wrong its just annoying and pitiful to go on defending it. If you don't know anything about something, please don't talk about it like you wrote the book about it.

5.) Idioticatikalonis - They're usually the noisiest ones at the party, and are constantly name dropping to get other people's attention, sometimes they go way off the conversation just to mention they know someone of note. Or they mention facts about themselves that no one even cared to know. They are usually the recipients of the "Who asked?" looks.

6.) Idioticamusicalis - These are the ones that pretend they are fans of a certain band, singer, song writer, or music style, but upon further inquire know absolutely nothing. The most annoying manifestation of this certain Idiotica is their inability to match the right words with the right songs. They can be closely related to the Idioticapalagpatis sometimes in their refusal to be the taught the right lyrics, always believing what they're singing is right.

7.) Idioticacriminalis - These are the dangerous type of Idiotica. Driven by drugs, greed, or desperation they are the ones that would risk endangering lives just so they can earn a couple of bucks. I hate hearing cases of this Idiotica on the news because they're usually linked to injured bystanders or dead victims. When your desperate for cash is stealing really the only way sometimes? Do they really have no choice?

8.) Idioticamilitantis - They're usually the ones behind riots. The devils whispering in the ears of Idioticailintoon (to be described later) telling them half truths in order to achieve a result in line with their ultimate goal... Anarchy..

Idioticamilitantis: We should not support the Reproductive Health Bill because it supports abortion and that is against the teachings of the bible.
VATICAN: No it does not. read it before you come to conclusions.
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH: No it does not. Read it before you come to conclusions.

9.) Idioticailintoon - These are the ones who don't seem to have an independent though process. They can usually be found following the teachings of an ignorant priest or moronic government official. I usually don't find them stupid per say but they are definitely Idiotica to the point of being to lazy to think for themselves. If they are so bent on not using their brain, why don't they just migrate to a communist country.

10.) Idiotaidiotica - These are the most entertaining ones. I don't even have to explain it because there is one clear cut, very famous, undeniable example of Idiotaidiotica...

"I didn't know buffaloes had wings."

Those are my Idiotica Classifications so far.
I'm probably going to have even more examples when school starts.

By definition from Wikipedia...

"A defeatist is a person who accepts defeat without struggle."

I hate those kind of people...
To accept defeat without struggle???
Are you kidding me? We human beings have it in our nature to fight. Stop suppressing what's already a basic instinct!!! What about the other people who suffered for what they believed in???
What makes them so different from you and me that they can achieve their goals while others say they can not.. why not?
We are all created equal!!!

That's not some psycho BS being spread around by the rich and powerfull...

We are all created equal!!! Social standing, race, education, religion, sex, MONEY.. you really think any of these things will change that?

then what about people like..

Martin Luther King, Jr.
The Dalai Lama
Rosa Parks
Susan Beanthony
Queen Elizabeth
Siddhartha Gautama


Come on people..

Wake up..

They weren't extraordinary. They didn't have super powers or were they immune to pain and suffering. They were regular run-of-the-mill, mortal as can be, people like you and me...

Only difference might be is that they ended their lives not choosing to surrender...

I always though he was an underrated actor. Maybe because some critiques can't get past his pretty boy image, but looking at his resume you can find top class movies...

3.) Babel
4.) Troy

and those are only the top 5 latest ones that came out. I believe he deserves an Oscar already...
