TROPANG OP

last night... we had a household at our unit head's place...

the topic for discussion was soo cool...

its about friendship....

and here are the words...




SIRACH 6:5-17
2 A kind mouth multiplies friends, and gracious lips prompt friendly greetings.
6
Let your acquaintances be many, but one in a thousand your confidant.
7
When you gain a friend, first test him, and be not too ready to trust him
8
For one sort of friend is a friend when it suits him, but he will not be with you in time of distress.
9
Another is a friend who becomes an enemy, and tells of the quarrel to your shame.
10
Another is a friend, a boon companion, who will not be with you when sorrow comes.
11
When things go well, he is your other self, and lords it over your servants;
12
But if you are brought low, he turns against you and avoids meeting you.
13
Keep away from your enemies; be on your guard with your friends.
14
A faithful friend is a sturdy shelter; he who finds one finds a treasure.
15
A faithful friend is beyond price, no sum can balance his worth.
16
A faithful friend is a life-saving remedy, such as he who fears God finds;
17
For he who fears God behaves accordingly, and his friend will be like himself.

well... well.. well.... i can say that i already met those kind of people... for all those years i've met different kind of person....


some they befriend you because they need something from you....

but i can say.... i really do find a true friends.... not just i have my parents and my brother and sister... i also have "tropang op" to support me all the way... although we dont see that much... talk that much, text that much... all of us know... deep within our heart that we are friends...

we do give advices to those who need it... but the person who have that problem was still the last one to decide...

"do what makes you happy" our tropa's motto...

we stay beside them.... not behind... not in front of them... but beside them...

and... i will treasure... and i appreciate all those memories and friendship we had....

i am so blessed to have a friends like them... i really am blessed
