live, love and laugh!

Hello WWW!

It's finals week at school.

(This means I am extremely busy with my research papers, exams and well of course office works, family, dating - i.e., with friends, old buddies, classmates, officemates, etc. and with my blog). Notice that today alone, I got total of 2 posts here, updated my friendster and 1 more in youtube! Hectic, huh? But there are other things that matter!

Don't forget to pray! Being busy is an invalid reason to neglect your personal relationship with God...

...and my blog.
(Now that I really like blogging stuffs and all).

When you're busy and the time you got is enough for travel to and fro office and home or somewhere else, study and do your stuffs, sometimes blogging is a luxury. Though I admit, I love to indulge myself into luxuries. And that, it's been awhile since I posted an entry to my NOW pet - blogspot. I have been wanting to blog or read other people's blogs but I have nothing noteworthy to post nor enough time for luxuries.

(Until awhile ago...and now).

But one last thing...being busy isn't an excuse to leave behind those that matter in life -family, friends, work, lovelife and others. (Now you know my social calendar is full enough to erase bad memories).

SO...to start with, let me tell you that I met my friend yesterday for a facial session (supposedly). This gal is soooooo busy. I don't know why but then, she has work, studies and real dates (which is amazing, really). So her friends (myself included) understand that. It's like her face is taggged with "Don't disturb, I'm busy" post-it.

In our circle of friends, there are 3 of us...though I have a lot more others, of course, she's been the most active daters. (I don't envy her though).

So as I have mentioned, she's also extremely busy, not only during finals week but all throughout the year! And honestly? She only meets her friends - both closed ones (again, myself included) or not super closed (she says, there were many of them) in 3 conditions:

1.) when she is sooooooo in love (or devastated due to a broken-heart) and she needs to share her feelings with us, her closest friends. That's what friends are for, right? (But my guess is, I was born a shock-absorber...but you know us women are like that...we got to share with our co-female buds whatever we feel and that's us, ever since the world began!)

2.) when she is too angry, she wants to see us instead of killing people and all. She needs us, again, to babble things - her angst, hatred toward someone who offended her, etc.. Though she's always been the good person I know.

3.) when she wants to party or to just feel home-y and drink wine with friends and all. In fairness to her, she knows I love wine and she remembers me! I give her that credit. :)

To uncomplicate things, let me put it straight. She knew the schedules of this facial center and her fave facial care specialists (ffcs). In fact, she's now a "stockholder" of this center - as she has been their customer for quite sometime now. I mean, all she does in life is have her face cleaned (as if it got feces on it with matching mushrooms growing around everywhere) ever since she internalized the words: VANITY and BEAUTY. For me, it's PERSONAL CARE -and we both agreed.

Anyway...

She told me to meet her past six. So I decided to stay in the office until around 6PM. Then went out, took MRT and by around 6:30PM, I was nearing the center when I received text message from her saying her ffcs is almost leaving but she still wanted to see me. In her text, she said she'd wait for me there.

As soon as I came in the center, she approached me and as if she has no time in the world, said in Tagalog: "we can have dinner instead and let's catch up...(She mentioned the name of her ffcs) could not attend to us tonight, let's come back on Saturday, 11AM. What do you think?"

(Oh by the way, she is not just a talkative gal but when she babbles, she does it too fast - like some nude folks are trying to butcher her!).

In short, I said nothing but "Yes....but on Sunday, 8AM, ok?" Haha...didn't I give that a thought?

Honestly, when all you do is listen 'till she's done talking, there'd be no choice but say yes... And well, Saturday is class and Saturday night is to rejuvenate from the long week's stressful activities (and all I want after the day's class is a long sleep, I needed to say it). Dynamic, normal reaction. So yes, I did have my own stand on something.

When you only allot 2 hours for facial session, you got to have 2 hours for something else (in case the initial goal is cancelled). But with the turn of events, 2 hours could not accommodate all of her stories. I found out that she and her special friend broke up (or something to that effect).

I see.

So condition #1 (which is the main purpose of the meeting) = facial session.

My 2 cents: Live, Love and Laugh! Let the EARTH revolve around the SUN but NEVER your world around a man's. As the telecom TV adverts put it: "There are many fishes in the sea!"

So for us girls, try to read this. You got to know who you're dating with to avoid heartaches.

I felt the same way before, once was devastated and so I completely understand her plight.
