‘Real’ Friends

Once upon a time there was a Blogger. They went to school five days a week and did their homework every night. One day, a new student called K, joined Blogger’s class. They became friends over the years, and K often told Blogger all of their problems. During the last year in school, K called Blogger late at night because they needed help with their homework. So Blogger kindly helped K, even though they were getting sick of K calling them so late at night. The next year, when both Blogger and K started a new school, K kept on asking Blogger for help with their homework (which they would’ve been able to do by themselves if they actually listened in class). Blogger was getting tired of this, so one night; when K still needed help doing homework they should’ve done four days ago, Blogger tells K that they think that K should learn how to do their homework by themselves. K, not understanding how much Blogger needed to concentrate on their own homework and the fact that Blogger couldn’t help them during tests, decided to stop talking to Blogger. The End.

So if you don’t understand the entire meaning of the story (that so happens to be true by the way), it’s that real life is nothing like a fairytale, and that ‘real friends’ do not exist.  I’m sorry if I’m being negative, but I’m really angry with my so called: ‘friend’.
Since I’m a person who’s been through a lot of failed friendships, I want to show you guys the difference between a friend and a fake friend.

Friend
1. They will let you talk during your conversations instead about talking about their own problems all the time and treating you like a therapist.
2. They will not abandon you if you decide not to help them with their homework, even though you’ve helped them for a year and that they should learn how to do their homework by themselves.
3. They will actually try to stay in touch with you after you moved to a different country.

Fake Friend
1. They don’t talk to you for the majority of the day (unless they’ve got something going on) and then spam you with texts because they need help with something.
2. They take advantage of how you in all the ways possible.
3. They abandon you because you decided not to do something they ask for once.
4. They think that you have something against them when you say that you two can’t study together (even though they really just want to copy your answers and take the credit).

I apologize if I’m not much help today, but I think that this advice is somewhat useful. I’m a bit annoyed because I tried my best to help someone and be a good friend, but they continued to take advantage of me and treating me like a therapist like I didn’t have my own problems in life. So, I’m sorry K if you think I’m being rude by writing this post mainly on you-but it was all true and I wanted to avoid that this happens to anyone else.

Lesson of the Day: Be careful of who you let get close to you, because they could just turn their back on you when you did something that was just helping you both out.

I hope you guys liked today’s post, and I also hope that you’re having fun writing your posts to enter in Post of the Month. If you haven’t attempted to enter Post of the Month, then start writing right now! See you guys later.

Post Of The Month

I received an email by an anonymous reader more than a week ago, and I only just read it because I was on vacation at the time it was sent and I haven’t checked my email lately. I think you guys would be interested to see what it says, so here you go:

Dear Blogger,
Sorry if I’m disturbing you, but I know that you held a competition on your blog and excuse me if I’m wrong, but I believe that no one entered it as you never posted a winner, so I think it would be a good idea to hold another competition but this time maybe with a longer time limit? Also by the time I saw your post, it was the day of the deadline so I was unable to enter. If you could hold another competition I would be extremely grateful and I’m sure others would be too.
Thank you.

Well, kind reader, I am going to do just that.

I am renewing the competition. But not only that, I am going to make a new section, called ‘Post Of The Month’, in which every month readers can enter the competition and I will pick a winner every month. So, if you miss the deadline for one month you can enter the one for the next. Let’s just go over the list of what you need to do to enter the competition.

To-Do

  1. Write a post. It can be about anything you want (as long as the topic is appropriate enough to be posted online), and try to not put any swear words in it. If you put in swear words I’ll get distracted by how much cursing you wrote, instead of the actual post.
  2. Email it to theblogger@guasoni.net . That’s the email I use for my blog.
  3. Wait for the results!

Okay guys, since now you know what to do, start writing! I hope you guys have fun with this competition, and I wish you all the best of luck. The deadline is September 30th. Bye!

Hashtags , Word Crimes and Bad Punctuation

If there is one thing I don’t understand in today’s modern-day society: it’s hashtags. Why do people use these? To me, they’re just like polite swear words, here’s why.

1.People use them to seem cool and they fail at it.
2.Many people are using them pointlessly.
3.When you use a hashtag you have to stick all of your words together and not use a space bar, so you’re just worsening your grammar (something everyone seems to be doing as well).

Here’s my question: what do you get from using hashtags? I mean, it’s not cool and you’re getting dumber by the character (if you didn’t know what I mean by ‘character in this case it means ‘a word, number, punctuation mark, or space written/typed somewhere).

Now let’s start with word crimes. I mean this in every polite way possible but EVERYONE IS FORGETTING ABOUT CORRECT GRAMMAR AND IT’S ALL SOCIAL MEDIA’S FAULT! Why do you ask? Well, on Twitter and Instagram there is only a limited amount of characters you can use, and in this case people start shortening their words and are using numbers and/or letters to represent a word. Examples:’Wt R U doing 2day?’ ‘Im @ schol’ ‘Gtg’ ‘I luv U’.
Can someone please explain to me why everyone is forgetting how to write properly? It doesn’t take that much of an effort to finish writing one word you know, and in my case it takes more effort to spell it incorrectly!
I’m also going to continue with bad punctuation now. “It’s”should only be used when you are shortening the words “It is” and is supposed to be used as “It’s pouring rain outside,” not as “The dog lost it’s bone.”. Correction: “The dog lost its bone.” you are supposed to use “Its” in that case because the head belongs to the dog and “Its” is supposed to be used possessively. You have no idea how many times I have seen people mistake these two different words for each other.

That’s it for today guys. I hope you actually learned from people’s mistakes in this post, and I hope you don’t make any yourselves. If you want to have a laugh and learn about word crimes and have a laugh at the same time, look up Word Crimes on Youtube by “Weird Al” Yankovic. It’s a Blurred Lines parody and I think it’s really funny. See you soon!

Over Again

Is it just me, or does anybody else feel like they’re starting over again? It’s probably just me. But I want to tell you why I’m feeling like this.

I’ve been through a lot of change recently. New house, new school, new friends(to make)-how am I not supposed to feel like I’m starting over? It feels like I’m moving to another country again like I did five years ago, but I’m not. Maybe there’s more to why I feel like I’m starting over-something different-that I don’t know. Maybe something changed about me and it caused me to feel different. Or maybe I’m just scared-scared about what’s going to happen next. This year is going to be different for me: every other one felt like the end of I chapter that was soon continued in the next page, but now it feels like I’m starting a whole new series.
To be honest making friends really was never easy for me, and maybe that’s why I feel like I’m starting over again. Every time I get the chance to start over where people don’t know me I try to seem different. I try to stand out. But it never works, because I’m not able to keep up with an act. People were able to see through the gothic, and intimidating people I tried to be and saw the one that’s not able to tell anyone anything orally but only through a laptop. Maybe this is why I feel like I’m starting over again.
Or maybe because I know something happened, or will happen. I know it’s there, but I just can’t put my finger on it.

I know this post isn’t as good as my other ones, and that it doesn’t really involve tips or news-but I just thought it would be nice to post. Anyways, I hope you liked this post, and that you subscribe by email or follow me on twitter (@thestuffBlogger if you didn’t know). See you soon!

Stuck At The Airport

I’m stuck at the airport because my flight was delayed by four hours, and I’m posting because I don’t really have anything else to do.
This isn’t the first time I was stuck at the airport for a long time, so I always have to entertain myself in some way, and that’s what I’m going to post about-finding stuff to do at the airport in case you’re flight’s been delayed.

Idea No.1
Go shopping. I know this sounds girly, and it probably is, but The airport has some cool stuff-and even if you don’t want to buy anything looking is okay.

Idea No.2
Bring stuff in advance. It’s always good to be prepared for situations like this, and that’s why I always bring my phone. Sure it may not be be the most entertaining thing, but it has games, and music(be sure to bring earplugs), so I’m okay for the next four hours.

I’m sorry for not being much use at the moment, but in my defense I’m in an uncomfortable chair, I’m writing this post with my phone, and I only had six hours of sleep last night.
Bye guys.
