What is a friend? There are acquaintances, casual friendships, close friendship, and intimate friendships. We all have acquaintances, faces we recognize and people we greet by name. Casual friendships happen through sharing of interest and spending time together in certain activities.
But intimate friendships are what everyone desires and needs. These are friends that stay with us no matter what.
They listen to us and are genuinely interested in what is best for us. They always tell us truth, even if it hurts sometimes. But that’s okay because they are interested in our well-being.
When you’re in trouble or facing a difficult situation, who do you depend on to help you sort it all out? Who do you wish you could turn to? Everyone wants the kind of friend that will be there for them no matter what.
Who are your friends? Are they just acquaintances or intimate friends? Sometimes even our friends may let us down, but there is one thing that is sure—Jesus wants to be your friend. When you accept Hisfriendship you will never be disappointed

My New Year’s Resolution
Every one of us has our own new year’s resolution. Some said that if you were bad in the past few years, you will never do it to the next year. Some are having promises, promises w/c sometimes never done but instead, those wrong things added. If you believe that you can do whatever your promises, it maybe possible for you to change your life. New Year’s Resolution is only depends on how a man can manage his life. Nobody can judge us as long as we do good things and not the bad things. It depends not only we believe on it but also on how we prove that even the smallest part of our life, we can change it. But for me. My new year’s resolution is just simple. I want to change just little things w/c is the way for me to make a sin. I am a kind of a girl whom is friendly. I have so many friends but others do not understand my attitude. I am easily hurt and get angry when sometimes my “BARKADA” joking me. Even if it is just a funny and it cannot really hurt me, I easily shout them and at the same time calling them an animal w/c can hurt them so much. That’s why some of my classmates told me that I have to adjust so that they can understand me well. Another is I am a childish person. That’s why they treat me not a “DALAGA” because I am now 18 years old but a “BATA” because my behavior looks like 13 years old. I want my classmates most especially my “BARKADA” to treat me a “DALAGA” because my crush will be discourage. It’s so “nakakahiya” ever. If I can do all this things then that’s good but if I cannot better luck next time…
Every month of December, we celebrated the most wonderful, colorful, and the most precious time, the Christmas. Christmas is the time when we are going to celebrate the birth of the son of God Jesus Christ. It is the time of giving; sharing all the blessings we received from Almighty God. It is the time when the whole family must enjoy, relax, and be together and have a unity as the 25th day of the December will come. One thing I can’t forget was when my whole family together w/ my uncle and auntie had a Christmas in our house. So many games we played like paper dance, talong dance and etc. We also had an exchanging gift when the gift I received was an angel figurine I can’t also forget the Christmas party we had in our classroom every year. Last Dec. 20, 2008, we. The BSBA-2 had an enjoyable Christmas party. Even though, few of my classmates attended the said party, we really enjoyed it. Some of my classmates joined the game, some are just laughing while sit into the corner and some are singing w/ the electric “token”. Christmas is part of our whole life. Together w/ the whole family, let’s celebrate it ‘coz it’s the time to give and share not only the materials or anything but also the love w/c is the most important factor in our life. Delicious foods are not necessary as long as every member of the family is getting together. As long as they love each other and happy as well.

A determined woman and responsible mother Mrs. Nene Legitimas worries a lot about the future of their children. Her dreams are simple- a decent home and clothing for her family, quality education for their children, enough food on the table everyday, and some savings for the proverbial rainy day.
A former vegetable vendor in a public market in Bohol, Aling Nene experienced some difficulty in providing the basic needs for her family because of their meager income. Although his husband was also selling vegetable and even fish, their combined income could hardly meet the high cost of living in Bohol. Their situation became worst when the planted vegetables that were going to sell on the market were all die during summer days. No longer able to sustain their family’s needs, the couple decided to go to Compostela and begin a new life w/ her family.
