FINDING FRIEND NOWADAYS IS EASY

NOWADAYS, the internet has been the main source of information. Every thing you want to know is here. All you need is to use the search engine and in an instant the information you wanted is just a click away. But aside from the information bank that the internet provides, friendship can also established by the internet. Many young and old are looking for friends, online. Based on my observation, the internet has been the bridge between the finders and the great finds. The most common way to find people is using the social networking system. An example of this is Facebook and Friendster. But there are others around. But the two I mentioned are the most used sns. You can view your friends and send emails to them. You can establish new connections because of the social networking system.

AN OLD FRIEND

I have been working for nearly 8 years now. In this long, fruitful years, I have made friendship with many people. This evening, I met an old friend who used to work in the company where I am presently connected. He retired last 2005 and it's good to see him again. He now owns several businesses here in Davao City. Just to mention his beauty parlor ( he is not gay), his mango farm and piggery business, his long time lending business and more. He is now about 53 years old. We where talking about the life working and the life of a free man. Just to give you guys some background about this guy. He is the best example of a person from rugs to riches. According to sources, in 2002, his net worth was already 25 million pesos. He used to be a laborer in the public market before having all of this wealth right now. According to my friend, life working is like a chicken in a cage. A chicken in a cage is totally dependent on the master. The chicken eats what the master gives. When A chicken gets out from the cage, it hesitant to move far away from the cage. The cage is the world of the chicken. It would take around couple of days before the chicken can adjust to the free environment away from the cage. Once tasted the life of the free, the chicken will never go back again to the cage. A very simple but very fruitful words, philosophical and meaningful. It is really good to see some old friends. I love to have a conversation with then and learn from their experiences. I wish can be free chicken.
