F.R.I.E.N.D.

“A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you.” 
                                                                                    ― Elbert Hubbard

They say that no man is an island. Some say that to be able to carry a heavy load; you need another pair of arms to carry that load with you. Who do we cling to when we need to know the ugly truth? Who do you laugh with at your silliest and craziest moments? Every one of us has that person we call ‘friend’.

Here’s a simple list on what to consider in a friend:

F – orever

                A true friend will never leave you, unlike boyfriends and girlfriends. A true friend will accept you for who you are without asking for anything in return. Distance is never an issue to a friend – whether you are miles away from each other, you don’t have to worry because friendship is forever.

R – eality

            A true friend never lies to you. He or she will tell you the things you don’t want to know, but you have to know. A true friend will let you see what is real and what’s not. The only credible and real judgment comes from a true friend.

I – nfluence

            Be careful who you make friends with because friends become a huge influence in your life. They affect your character, the decisions you make in your life, the person you become. He or she mustn’t only be present during the happy times but also on your lowest point. A true friend helps in bringing out the best in you, not the other way around.

E – nemy

            Some people started out as enemies before they became best friends. Yes – you’re enemy and your friend can be the same person. You can quarrel with a friend and laugh about something a few minutes after. Never forget your enemies, because they might be your future friends.

N – ecessary

            Life is not complete without friends. You need someone to talk to, take pictures with, cry with. A friend can perform an unending list of roles in your life. You just have to tell them which one you need in a particular moment in your life.

D- irection

            When you’re feeling lost, always turn to a friend for directions. Who else will accompany you through your darkest hours but your friends.

Open yourself to people. Life is too short to live alone. Every road you take is worth the travelling with a friend along.

Summer Tips of MIRABELLA Cast

It is the season to be hottie! Here are some tips from the cast of Mirabella cast on how you can look and be your best and how Summer can be fun in so many ways.

Five Ways of Dealing with Online Scandal

Social Media has been dominating the world for years and everyone just can’t get enough of it. Nowadays, people can instantly post their latest selfies and it only takes seconds for friends and haters to comment. But what if you become the center of attention in Social Media? What if you find out you have your own online scandal? Let me list down few effective ways in dealing with online scandal.

Take It Easy

So you see yourself in the most embarrassing situation and comments from people you know and you don’t know have been coming up, and you don’t know exactly what to do. Easy on the emotional panic; just take a deep breath, and smile, because this too, shall pass.  It’s not the end of the world for you. Yes - you’ll be the subject of criticism; yes - almost everything will be said about you – but who cares? People will not judge you with what you’re going through but on how you’ll get through it.

Laugh It Off

Never shed a tear. Do not be the loser; be the bigger person. Sometimes, in the darkest moment of your life, you’ll realize that to get over it, all you need is to laugh it off and snap out of it.

Watch Your Words

In a battle where your reputation and your name is at stake, sometimes you can’t help but fight back with the meanest words you can ever say or write. But always remember whatever you say or comment in the internet will stay there forever. So watch your words, choose the right ones. Because whatever you say or whatever you write might be just the best weapon people will use against you.

Let It Go

Don’t dwell on shame, don’t live on embarrassment. There is more to life than trying to prove yourself to people who doesn’t mean anything to your life. Bullies will always be bullies, and you can’t do anything about it. You have your family and friends – good sources of motivation and life lessons. Talk to them, ask for help. And when everything else has been said and done, all you got to do is keep your calm, chin up, move forward, and let it go.

Be Careful

When every stone has been thrown at you, and when your online scandal has given you the worst time of your life, make sure that the next time you’ll be famous is when you did something good. You’ve experienced the nastiest things and you don’t want them to happen again. Everything depends on you – on how you project yourself to people and how you let people treat you. So make sure you know who to trust and you know to avoid. Be careful with everything that you do with your life because keep in mind, there are a million eyes watching over you and it only takes a camera phone and Wi-Fi connection to either make or break you.

MIRABELLA cast talks about "BULLYING"

'Bullying' is a serious matter. Anyone can be a victim of it. The effects of bullying can never be measured- it will always depend o how a person takes it. We can stop bullying. The teens of MIRABELLA know how.
