ESL Blogs

Right now, few minutes before I upload this blog, I have been starring at my monitor, trying to figure out this live. What do I do? Spend almost the time here, working, playing games, chatting, etc. I was thinking about what my old friend i just meet after long time not see told me earlier. We meet each others in a holiday then she asked me ‘how was your life dear?’ this is a simple question but I am stunned after hear that, ‘eeerrr I am working’ I answered. “yes I know you are working, but how about your live?” she came with another questions about what I am doing, about my college, my friends, my activities, I just smiling and realized something, that I have no real life.

Yes I went to college, but not much, just take my lesson and go away after that, I almost never socialize with my classmates, I only knew few of them and not too good. My friends ?! Whoa I have a lot of them, and they come from all around the world, I got them from something we called net. We almost never meet each other and all of our contact is just trough net. Then, can I call them my friends? I meant my friends in my old friend version. When someone asked me “do you have friends?” I think the friends here refer to people in real life who take care of you. They always stand beside you, make a lot of great story with you, live your live, once again I said “in real life”.

Let me think a while. So there was a two kind of friends, the friend from our real life and the friend from internet. Both of them are special person for us if we were have one. They understand us, make us smile, live our days, never trying to upset you and they wont see our sadness. Then what the differences? I think this is very clear though. If you have a good friend from real life, they would stay near with you, coming to you whenever you need them, take care of you while you sick or just have break up with your another special person. I have an imagination when I involve in a fight, my dear friend would be my savior or else, my sparring partner. Next, friend from internet. They can make you happy, they care about you, share their story with you, live your live also. But, they not with you. If you were sick, they would feel sorry about you but they can’t do anything for you like take you to a doctor, for example. All I can say the difference between them is the way of our deals.

Back to my problem about answer my old friend question, to be honest I have no problem about that, just said ‘I have a few’ then it’s over, but the main trouble coming when she told about her, how she have a lot of ‘real’ friends, how she spend nice time with them, what a great story worth to hear about that. When she coming back to me with question “what are you doing with your friends? Hanging out? Climbing the mountain? Making a music band?” well I am speechless.

At least everyone must be have a friend or someone special who can make they smile even just by remember his/her name. I don’t care whether I don’t have any friend in real live neither net world. But I will try my best to be nice with everyone. It’s okay if I have no one as my sparring partner or someone who will take care of me when I am sick, I am sure I can through it all with or without my friend. A wise man once said, it’s a great thing if you can through the day alone, and if you have someone with you that day, it’s a blessing.
