"Reflect upon your present blessings, of which every man has plenty;

not on your past misfortunes of which all men have some."
Charles Dickens

shanghai blues....

2 years doesn't seem so long. My bestest friend is going away for 2 years. Maybe longer. I wonder what life will be like without my friend living nearby.

I feel sad. I haven't felt lonely yet. I am glad that it is now, ie., with IP phone cards, internet access, messenger facilities... let's see how it goes...

A friend...

Some interesting quotes I wish to remember in the days to come...

“A friend is a trusted confidante to whom I am mutually drawn as a companion and ally whose love for me is not dependent on my performance and whose influence draws me nearer to the Lord.”
(Jerry White)

“True friendship can be costly. It is much more than making use of someone for your own benefit, for of necessity it involves self-giving, and that incurs a cost.”
(Facing Loneliness, J. Oswald Sanders)

where do we go from here?

feel trapped,
some things are not what they seem,
faces,
hearts,
only time can tell,
only time can reveal,
God help me be more discerning,
God help me to continue loving,
God help me to believe again.

sugar coated promises

i believed, i trusted... sugar coated promises
i was deceived, i feel stupid, yet i still love
did i want to really see?
maybe not.
did i want to believe?
so so much.
i thought that fairy tales can come true.
silly me!
