Friendship falls apart for many reasons—a huge fight, distance, loss of interest, and some other personal reasons. But if both parties are interested to be friends still, there is no reason why the friendship shouldn’t be saved. Who knows, this friendship might grow a lot deeper than before.
If you want to breathe life on a dying friendship :(
Here are some tips.
·
Find ways to communicate. Whether you are miles apart or living
in the same building, make sure to have an open line of communication. Landline. Cell
phone. Email. Chat.
·
Forgive the offense. If an offense broke the friendship apart,
it is time to forgive, forget, and move forward. If you were the offended party,
openly tell your friend that she has already been forgiven.
- Apologize. If you are the offending party, let go of your pride and ask for forgiveness. Remember that reconciliation starts with a word of apology. Make sure to apologize in person, but if that it is not possible, like when you are living in a different country or state, you can do it by some other means.
- Show your concern. Even if you are not as close as you once had been, show your friend that you still care for her. You can show your concern in different ways. If one of her family members is sick, you can send her a short thoughtful note. Send her a gift on her birthday. Congratulate her for her success in work. And wish her well if she is starting a new project.
- Allow her to be her own person. People grow, and sometimes the friend you know very well will grow into a different person. The things you both enjoy will become distasteful to her. Allow her to grow and accept her individuality.
- Go out once in a
while. In any relationship, it is very important to have a personal
interaction. This is why you need to go out with your friend at least once
a month. If you are living far apart, make an effort to visit her in her
place or invite her to your place. Take this as your time to rediscover
each other, have some good laughs, dine together, and talk about anything
that comes to mind.
Make it a commitment to
keep the friendship going. That even if your
friendship is being rocked and challenged, you remain stable as friends.
This might work, you know :)

The Provincial Youth Conference of the international catholic youth organization YFC (Youth for Christ) was held last August 25-26, 2012. It was attended by hundreds of youths all over Pangasinan, among those present there were the YFC-DS chapter. Here are some pictures taken.

We are Catholics,
We are Prolife
The Philippines is naturally a
beautiful country. Along with her magnificent environmental highlights are the
very hospitable Filipinos who make her a great country. What makes her more
unique is her stand to be the only Asian country which is not liberated by the
Reproductive Health Bill. We can simply say that the RH bill is a law that
legalizes abortion, the use of condoms and contraceptive pills to prevent
pregnancies, and sex education to students as early as elementary. But sad to
say, later or sooner the Philippines will be one of those liberated countries.
News has it that the debate on
RH bill is getting much more serious. It is obvious that more than half of the
Filipinos today are PRO, or those who are in favor of legalizing the said bill.
The only one standing against it or the CONS are we, the Catholics. We are
taught the value of life. We are taught that abortion is immoral. But it is
upon us to decide which side are we on. The Church of course, is not dictating
every Filipino catholic to stand against RH bill. We have our own minds;
therefore we too have our own opinions.
It is threatening that even our
own Philippine president and great senators have already taken sides with the
Pros. We cannot blame them for choosing that. They believe that passing the RH
bill will be the best way to end poverty. But have they thought that before
poverty they must focus more on ending graft and corruption? They thought it
will provide solutions for teenage pregnancy. But have they thought that
teenagers need guidance and precautions more than they need condoms? They believe
it will be the best help to those who have aids. But have they thought that the
best way to prevent diseases like these is to have self-control among them?
They believe that it is the best way to make Philippines better. But have they
thought that there is no such thing more effective than unity and prayer?
It’s not that simple, we know.
It is much more complicated than this article suggests. More people are
involved, people whose opinions and says are much more important than those of
ours as students. But before this article ends, there is just one question I
want to leave behind. We are Catholics. We are taught to be Christ-like. If he
was on our situation, what would Jesus do? Having been taught to preserve life,
are you just going to sit there and let others destroy what we value most?
