A friend

Seorang sahabat menaruh kasih setiap waktu, dan menjadi seorang saudara dalam kesukaran.

What pops up in your mind when somebody asks: 'what is a friend?' ? I'm sure there are many answers, many sayings about friendship. My mom often quoted, 'A friend in need is a friend indeed'.

Sometimes ago a friend of mine told me, 'When you love someone, you rebuke her when she did something wrong. If you keep in silence, it means you don't love her enough.' I knew it was right ... yet I was so frightened to do that.

So I was thankful that yesterday, an old friend frankly pointed my mistakes. It was great to have friends who care.

This thought also reminds me of somebody who was my best friend ... wherever he is, I hope the best for him.

To all my friends: Thanks for being my friends!


A FRIEND IS SOMEONE...

© Krystine Ose

A friend is someone who cares
Someone who is always there

A friend is someone special
Someone who you can tell everything

A friend is someone who will never betray you
No matter who doesn't like you

A friend is someone you can trust
Someone kind of like you


The only reward of virtue is virtue; the only way to have a friend is to be one. -- Ralph Waldo Emerson

I wanted to comment on "pepper butt", but no comment link on that posting ;), so here it is:

Pepper butt -- that reminds me of Patrick. He call me PB (pepper butt) and I call him BP (bule palsu)... :D
And I do think PB works well as a term. But for Indonesian, perhaps Chili butt works better :D
