Waste of time, energy and money AND the glory of friendship

Yesterday, I had went to school only for ethics class but it turns out that the teacher had FORGOTTEN our class. Probably, he forgot to put our class in his sched.

Today, was my Art Appreciation class and again, it was moved to 7am to 8:30am slot. It is not the fault of students to miss these classes, we aren't informed. Being misinformed is better that being uninformed at all.

3 hours of Art Appreciation
1.5 hours of Economics (Class suspension on Friday due to general cleaning of the school)
1.5 hours of Ethics
were wasted this week.

I was with my 2 friends. 1 weirdo and 1 sweet lady. Their names are JE and Jedi. JE happened to have this mentality of KSP. It is very difficult to understand him. The strangest thing happened to me in front of a girl. I ordered 2-piece burger steak in Jollibee and he ate most of my meal using the same utensils I used and the straw for the large drink. I consider that a taboo, but I consider it as part of my fault, because I tolerated it. He just wants attention. It is the same guy whom I with during last Summer in Rizal Class. Gosh! Maybe, I should be a bit harsher on him next time. Most of the psychology students misunderstood him as my Nursing friends misunderstood me. Somehow, he can create a comedic scenario in school. Like trying to influence me that a girl somewhere out there likes me or something. JE considers himself as a relationship pragmatist. Pragmatism is practicality of things.

He is so proud to have a mental disorder, that he tells everyone. Somehow people misjudge other people by the attitude and judge them with their heart. Why can't we accept him for whohe is? We cannot accept him for who he is if we don't accept ourselves for who we are. That's the deficit of self-confidence.

Well, at least he has his own group of friends. :) That's what matters.

Now, enough of the weirdo. I will not say he has no manners but I can say that he can also take material things in front of you. He got my Nito ring.

THE GLORY OF FRIENDSHIP

Now, Jedi (Pronounced as Je-Deeh) is one of my true friends I see trust and loyalty in. I can sense that greatful innocence in her. Even an introvert like her knows what friendship really is. She is that type who rather wants to be alone then have hundreds of friends by her side.

I finally can experience the truth of friendship because all my life, loneliness has dominated me. I am crying right now for this righteous decision to be friends with someone for real. I rather have 5 to 8 friends than 50 or so. I was wishing and waiting for these moments to come and yet they have arrived.

Another friend I mentioned about is a girl named Celine. I mentioned about her in my other post on the Self-image reflection on other people.

Through my understanding of body language, I can admit that these 2 ladies really do accept me for who I really am. Friendship is composed with LOYALTY and TRUST plus the essentials of ALTRUISM and RESILIENCE.

"It is difficult to win a friend in a year, it is easy to offend one in an hour."

Jedi is a lady who is quiet in the beginning since she has to adjust to the new environment, and yet I think she will be able to be confident to know the Psych people.

Not only with these ladies but I can be concerned with other people well. Even when they are down, I can comfort with what efforts I have.

Helping yourself is also helping others, Personal responsibility is that you are responsible for what ever you do, say, hear, see, taste, think in your whole entire life. Even it affects other people.

Let me conclude with this:

"If a person is understood, accepted and respected, he will grow as a person. But understanding is deeper than knowledge. There are many people who know us, but very few who understand us. Understanding is more of the heart than of the mind."

The few people whom I consider as understanding are some of the psych students, as I see it now. But surely, it can be expanded to the whole course, because this friendship thingy is actually a lesson on Social Psychology. :)

It's very worthy to be with them, even in the verge of a pandemic, weather disruptions and other calamities. We stay STRONG TOGETHER AS ONE! Thank you.
