boy! it's been donkey years now!today is j's birthday. wished i could be around for his birthday surprise. missed melb birthday bash and surprises man! met gaz online on friday night and he told me he's planning something big for j. well, i wrote a short funny note + silly song to j. hopefully gaz could sing it to him, on my behalf. anyway, that's what friends do to each other on birthdays! ;)
i wonder if it were coincidence, but gota meet j's besties yesterday at church. haven't really chatted with both c and jes for the longest time, ever since donkey years ago. wow - time flies. i remembered how c and jes used to tease me and make fun of me when we first knew each other at church when we were younger. used to hang over long phone conversations with jes a lot and chatted about every single thing about friends, emotions, relationships, love, family, history and future. just like other besties, we kinda got into life's fast motions and we kinda lost touch with each other. saw him at church yesterday and was quite amazed at myself when i initiated our lunch catch up session. he jokingly mentioned, 'hey, i've gota girlfriend ok!' and well, i laughed it off saying, 'it doesn't mean we can't have lunch together?!?'
i guess it was really a good move to lunch with c and jes. perhaps being out with these two guys have made me smiled over little lame jokes they cracked along the way and laughed over some stupid stuffs together. these guys have helped me laid off my own burdens in some small ways. haven't been out with guys who watched out for my needs for a long time. glad that these guys did care about whether i need water, my legs were tired on heels. they were worried for my safety until they sent me off at my doorstep. don't i feel privileged to be a girl? was a protected species last night! ha! ;)
im thankful because i'm beginning to find my friends again. it's been so long that i've been living in my own world. perhaps everyone's busy in their own little worlds. however, our friendships we have established in the past have never failed or fade. yes, time may draw things apart; but friendship remains just the same as it was before!
