Friends. Friendship. No matter which word you prefer, we cannot deny the fact that we all need friends and friendship to see us through the roughest moments of our lives. And talking about the issue of friendship, I've met different people throughout my life. Some are nice, some ranks in the halls called "Wonderful" and some just simply made you want to tear your hair out.

And unfortunately, I managed to met one so-called "friend" who actually for a few points:

• Do not understand the actual meaning of the word "friend"
• Do not understand how Facebook works

How are the above 2 related, you wonder? A lot of ways actually. But before I confused you any further. Let's take a look at the Facebook concept involving people on your friend list, who happened to be your friends.

Whenever you share a post on your own wall, by default anyone on your Friend List will be able to see that update. Even for posts, images and quotes that you saw somewhere else and shared on your own wall, it gets shown on your friend's wall as well. That is how the wall function of Facebook works. And unfortunately for me, I had this new Facebook friend who actually do not understand nor know how the wall function in Facebook works. And I unfortunately ended up being labelled a "stalker", not by my own doings.

And this clueless friend actually took it a step further by sending me PMs (Private Messages) via Facebook on how angry she is, and that I am behaving exactly just like another stalker on her own Friend List. And at that precise moment, I understood why she thought people are stalking her. It's not the case and neither is it true at all! That other so-called stalker friend of hers probably saw her shared post showing up on his or her own wall, joined the same contests and competitions since it showed up on his or her own wall.

The first line of the PM simply asked me why I joined every contest she is joining? Next, she proceeds to tell me off that it isn't nice to join contests that she is joining? And I was like "WTF??" The reason why there are contests and giveaways is because people who came up with them want people to join them for the free things being doled out and at the same time bumped up their presence on the Internet. However heard of a contest or giveaway where only 1 person joined? It won't be called a contest or giveaway in the first place if that is true. It may as well be, "I'm hosting a giveaway/contest and I will randomly just choose 1 person I feel like giving out the freebies to."

And then, she conveniently told me off that everyone has "free will". So, I take it that because I have "free will" as a human being, I'm not allowed to join anything that I take a fancy to? And because of "free will", I shouldn't even join anything so as not to jeopardize your chances of winning? I think that's total bullshit no matter how anyone looks at it. You joined, you shared on your wall, I'm in your friend list, I will see that post. It's just that simple with the wall function on Facebook. No gimmicks!

And she then proceed to verbally told me how pissed she is! Again, with the "free will" present in every human being, I don't think it's up to her to be pissed at all. You don't want me joining anything that you joined, don't even share it. Isn't it that simple logic? And she carried on that she meant no offence at all. Yeah right, no offence my ass. I have "free will", cannot and should not joined anything and I am supposed to go "Hahaha! You're right! I have free will and I should not joined anything at all so as to avoid making you upset." And she ended the PM telling me that I don't have to avoid her because she doesn't want to lose a friend. Hence she said the truth in the risk of me avoiding her totally.

And the silly part of this encounter? I thought she was literally a "friend" indeed and I took the trouble of being a fan of her Facebook page and even following her blog in the name of friendship. And throughout all these "free will" nonsense, she didn't even followed even 1 of my blog nor even Like my dedicated Facebook page. None! I finally saw the light of my own stupidity and unlike her Facebook page, while I unfortunately is unable to remove my follower status on her blog at all. Kinda suck that this is what "friend" and "friendship" meant to her all along.

And now, kindly allow me to explain what the words "friend" and "friendship" meant in my own terms and definition. Being my friend simply meant:

• When I see something that is good, I want to share it with you
• When I see a competition and the prizes are awesome, I want you to join and win too
• When I joined a cpmpeition, I want you to join too. Even if I don't win, I am still proud and happy for you if you are the winner.
• When I see goodies and freebies being doled out, I want you to be able to have it too.
• Whatever I do, as long as it's beneficial, I want you to share in it.
• When you're being denied of something, as your friend, I will fight for you

And that, is what friendship meant to me all these years. Not that hard to understand, huh?
