4 Types of Friends

Friends are complex creatures. You love them like they're your family and you hate them like they're your family. And you know they'll still be by your side in times of need and not need. Sometimes they're fussy and they're the reason why you're in trouble. But still friends are sweet creatures that brings happiness and sadness into your life. Every friend group is different but there are some similarities between them. What kind of friend are you? :) 

  • The Planner

The planner is the one who plans everything about your friend group. They're very good at picking up dates, times and venues to make you guys together and enjoy. The planner also have this huge list of games and stuff to do when you meet up which are not completely practical. He or she excels at planning surprise birthday parties and holidays too.

  • The One Who Is Always Busy

Now this person is busy no matter even if you call them in the middle of night. "Hey we're going out tomorrow, wanna join? I'm sorry I will be busy tomorrow, -how about day after tomorrow? I'm not sure if I can come I'm very busy these days." Simply they are busy all the time and you're not even sure if you're friends anymore. 

  • The Louder 

You know the one in the group who seems to speak at a slightly louder volume than everyone else, even when they’re not trying to shout? Sometimes this is the annoying type of friend and sometimes this is the funniest friend who make everyone else laugh out loud. 

  • The Ghost

Sometimes you see them and sometimes they disappear. They are like those animals who hide in their cage in the winter. This one usually disappears when they're in a relationship and comes out when they're single again ;) And when they come back they're totally different from the person you used to know in the first place. 

So that's it for this blog and I hope you enjoyed.What type of a friend are you? And I'm sorry I know I missed whole bunch of types of friends. :)

Chain Letters?

Have you ever got annoyed by a chain letter or chain email? 

You come home after having a busy day and after a while when you check your emails or Facebook, you see this life threatening chain mail asking you to forward it to 10 people or you or your parents will die in two or three days,what is the feeling you get when you see this kind of a spam?

Almost everyone has received a chain mail and some people are even capable of sending them out. Chain mails are not only full of misinformation but also some of them can harm your computers. 

Usually at the top of chain mails, there is something such as "Don't read this", "Stop". Or maybe there can be something like "If you stop reading this..." First thing you have to do is when you see this commanding line, you have stop reading and simply ignore the rest of it. If you're really curious you can just read the rest. It can't actually do any harm to you, just you will get little bit annoyed. So at the end of the chain letter most often it contains something like, "If you do not send this to ten more people, you will die in two days." Now this will piss you off. But think twice,Will this really happen to you? Will you actually die because you didn't send an email? How is it even possible? I'm not so sure if people really believe those things because sometimes they're a viral in social media. So I have the question why do people really forward chain letters? Do they really believe all these things? I highly doubt that, but I don't understand the purpose of sending these chain mails either.

Most people don't want their inbox full with this kind of Chain letters. They're dangerous, and people with weird mentalities use them to spread misinformation for personal gain. Do not believe what you read in a chain email. Even if it sounds true, double check with another source. Be sure not to pass on chain emails as it increases your chance of spreading viruses. It can also be very annoying.

Ice Bucket Challenge Viral

Have You Heard about the "Ice Bucket Challenge?"

The Ice Bucket Challenge aka ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, is an activity involving a person having a bucket of iced water poured over their head and then nominating someone else to follow it. Video evidence of the drenching  is shared on social media and the nominee can either accept the challenge, participate with it and donate money to the ALS or just refuse and donate a greater sum of money. Those asked to take the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge have only 24 hours to do so.

The Ice Bucket Challenge is a viral mania which began in America in the summer of 2014.This all is an effort to to promote, awareness of the disease Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) and encourage donations to research. This act was started by former Boston College baseball player Pete Frates, whose career was cut short by ALS disease.

Social Media from across the country are full of videos and photos of celebrities, inventors, athletes and politicians all taking part in the Ice Bucket Challenge.
The goal of the Ice Bucket Challenge and its success has exceeded initial expectations of the donations.

Few things are funnier than seeing people have ice poured all over them and watching them cringe, scream or freeze in place. The web has been flooded with videos and images of those who have accepted the challenge.

But still Raising awareness of any illness is a worthwhile thing to do but don't forget the children that get up at 5am and walk 6 miles a day for a bucket of contaminated water. 


Also money you pay as donations really goes to people who are suffering from the disease according to the ALS website. So that's a positive fact about this Ice Bucket Challenge 

Check out the video to find out some mind blowing facts about Ice Bucket Challenge. What do you think about Ice Bucket Challenge? Is it a humanly positive way to collect donations or is it a total waste? Comment below!

Have you not heard the most famous song Hotel California by The Eagles? Then you probably might have been living under a rock.

"Hotel California" is the title song from the Eagles' album of the same name and was released as a single in February 1977. It is one of the best-known songs of the album-oriented rock era.

Here's the lyrics of the song "Hotel California"

On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair Warm smell of colitas,rising up through the air

Up ahead in the distance, I saw a shimmering light

My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
I had to stop for the night
There she stood in the doorway;
I heard the mission bell
And I was thinking to myself,
"This could be Heaven or this could be Hell"
Then she lit up a candle and she showed me the way
There were voices down the corridor,
I thought I heard them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
Plenty of room at the Hotel California
Any time of year (Any time of year)
You can find it here

Her mind is Tiffany-twisted, she got the Mercedes bends
She got a lot of pretty, pretty boys she calls friends
How they dance in the courtyard, sweet summer sweat.
Some dance to remember, some dance to forget

So I called up the Captain,
"Please bring me my wine"
He said, "We haven't had that spirit here since nineteen sixty nine"
And still those voices are calling from far away,
Wake you up in the middle of the night
Just to hear them say...

Welcome to the Hotel California
Such a lovely place (Such a lovely place)
Such a lovely face
They livin' it up at the Hotel California
What a nice surprise (what a nice surprise)
Bring your alibis

Mirrors on the ceiling,
The pink champagne on ice
And she said "We are all just prisoners here, of our own device"
And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast

Last thing I remember, I was
Running for the door
I had to find the passage back
To the place I was before
"Relax, " said the night man,
"We are programmed to receive.
You can check-out any time you like,
But you can never leave! "

Interesting right? Have you ever really thought about the meaning of this song? I'm sure that first thing that comes to your mind ,must be Satanism. When this song was released in 1976, everyone heard it but no one really knew the meaning of this song. Some lyric parts such as this 

"And in the master's chambers,
They gathered for the feast
They stab it with their steely knives,
But they just can't kill the beast"

And also this diabolic line "You can check-out any time you like, But you can never leave! " made people naturally come to the conclusion that "Hotel California" is a song about Anton LaVey converting people to his church of Satanism, from which they could "never leave." 

Some other people believed that Hotel California was a real hotel  in Baja California near Santa Barbara, and the Eagles were venting about the hospitality industry. Others hypothesized that the band was referring to the Camarillo State Mental Hospital in Ventura County, and the meaning of the song is about Mental Illness and agony. An alternative interpretation of the meaning of the lyrics is that the song is a description of the journey from Need to Love and Marriage to Divorce and ultimately to the impossibility of regaining the life and happiness of the pre-divorce state. As the music critics view this song is an allegory about hedonism and self-destruction.The narrator is on an exotic experimental mind journey. The “Dark Desert Highway refers to a craving drug trip that has a disastrous aftermath. So basically they say that is song is about Cocaine addictions. 

Actually ... "Hotel California" has pretty much nothing to do with Satanism. The Eagles have admitted that it was a way of speaking against the greed and hedonism of the music industry in the 1970s 
they accepted the fact that they, themselves were drowning in to the drugs, money and women.
Listening to it, you get the sense that it is about something more than a man who made a poor choice of spending the night in a lodge. What do you feel when listening to it? Do you think it's about Satanism? Drug Addiction? Or Love, Marriage and Divorce? :)

Men and Women are so friendly most of the time.

There are so many pleasing and attractive things members of the opposite sex do.  Even if you’re not into them romantically, there’s usually something to enjoy.

But on the other hand, members of the opposite sex also have this unique and disturbing ability to annoy. 

So here are some 4 most annoying things guys say to girls. :)

1) Calling us "Baby", "Sweetie","Love" or any kind of romantic names.

Hello I mean like it's okay if it's your best guy friend or someone you already know. But when you're chatting with a guy for the very first time and they come up with such kind of names, it's really annoying. 

2) Saying your picture is  "Hot, Sexy" or such kind of things.

As I have mentioned before, if your best guy friend or your best friends tell you this, you won't feel aggressive. But when you talk with a guy for the first time through any social media or this kind of sites it's really annoying. Like Hello you're here to learn English not to impress women. -_-

3) Asking for pictures. 

This is the most offensive thing I have ever faced. I don't think I've to talk about this much. Every women might have faced this kind of problem when using social media.

4) Asking for Privet Details.

It has been three days since I joined this site and everyone is like, hey do you have Skype? I don't think it's something that guys do to annoy us. But at the same time I don't think that any girl share their Skype ID with a random stranger they met in an English Learning web site. 

Okay this is all I can think of, at the moment, if you have faced the same situation like this post  also if you disagree, comment below. I'll be happy to face any kind of disagreements :)
