Sabbatical

Recently I've kept having the same conversations with different people. The conversation's about whether to let someone you've let go or has let you go back into your life (in the same capacity the person was before the let go of course).

I rationalize that, if you still have strong feelings for that someone, why not.

You're not an idiot. Don't tell me you learn nothing from the fall out? Of course you have. And with growth, maturity and a short-timed of wisdom you are well capable into taking it on again.

Yes, this is however talking in a rationalize point of view of mine. Which we human beings tend not to be when it comes to the matter of the heart. I would know.

But, I like to believe in the good in people. And it is in that beliefs that I think everyone one of us have a huge capacity for forgiveness in our hearts. And of course the only good thing we with growing a year older, a capacity to learn from past experiences. Even if it means, at times, repeatedly. That's how you learn a good lesson ain't it? By falling and rising.

Getting back on point though, should you? I say, if you think you're smart enough to have learned you're lessons and not repeat it, why the hell not?

Another hot topic is, loneliness. How some people just settle, just because. What I think about it? There's nothing wrong with being afraid of being alone. We all long for company. I know tones of people who have a million of friends but still feel very much alone.

The remedy? Other than companionship, there's always family to fall back on. To be honest, I was never super close with my family before. But as time passes, you just come to realize how important they are. You learn to appreciate them a lot more.

I don't really have an answer for this one actually. It's an open discussion everyone's invited to.

A Friend In Need

Is a friend indeed?

So what defines and makes a good friend?

Is it the fact that the person always wishes you on your birthday? Or someone who you have the time of your life with? Or someone who's there when you needed someone? Or someone who you share everything with? Or someone who shares everything with you?

I think it's open for interpretation. Chances are you are that lucky that you find a person who fits all the description above.

I guess you have to ask yourself, is the person who remembers your birthday, the same person you have fun with? Is the person you have fun with, the same person that's there for you when you need them? Is the person that's always there for you the same person who shares everything with you?

And sort out which of those makes a friend, a good one.

Another year

...to me!

What I like most about turning a year older is definitely the birthday wishes. Thank you everyone for the surprises, phone calls, text messages and wall posts, and not forgetting the song I got from 5 very cool girls. And for those of you who bore gifts to along with your wishes, many more thanks!

I thought of replying everyone's wishes this year and I did, at least the ones who texted. As for those who wall posted, that's going to take me awhile longer. Hahaha.

I appreciate it guys! You made turning a year older a most wonderful event.

Control.

Everyone needs some form of control in their life right? It doesn't have to be a huge thing, it could be the littlest thing that no one else would give a damn but you. Be it a hairstyle, driving or how you spend you time, who you spend your time with.

It doesn't need to be important to the other persons, its important to you. At times when you feel at lost and out of control that is when control seems so out of reach.

The blonde and the lawyer

A lawyer and a blonde woman are sitting next to each other on a long flight from Brisbane to Perth. The lawyer leans over to her and asks if she would like to play a fun game. The blonde is tired and just wants to take a nap, so she politely declines and rolls over to the window to catch a few winks.

The lawyer persists, saying that the game is really easy and a lot of fun. He explains how the game works: "I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me, and visa-versa." Again, the blonde politely declines and tries to get some sleep.

The lawyer figures that since his opponent is a blonde he will easily win the match, so he makes another offer. Okay, how about this, If you don't know the answer you pay me only $5, but if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500."

This catches the blonde's attention and, figuring that there will be no end to this torment unless she plays, she agrees to play the game.

The lawyer asks the first question. "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" The blonde doesn't say a word, reaches in to her purse, pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer.

Now, it's the blonde's turn. She asks the lawyer, "What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?"

The lawyer looks at her with a puzzled look. He takes out his laptop computer and searches all his references. He taps into the Air-phone with his modem and searches the Net and even the National Library. Frustrated, he sends E-mails to all his co-workers and friends he knows. All to no avail. After over an hour of searching for the answer he finally gives up.

He wakes the blonde and hands her $500. The blonde politely takes the $500 and turns away to get back to sleep. The lawyer, who is more than a little frustrated, wakes the blonde and asks, "Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and, comes down with four?"

Again without a word, the blonde reaches into her purse, hands the lawyer $5, and goes back to sleep...

HAHAHAHAHA. Moral of the story? Don't judge a book by it's cover.
