ramblings on snow day

I was talking to a childhood friend of mine last night.

He and I go waaaaay back. I met him when i was thirteen or fourteen years old during high school and i Thank God that he is still my friend. He told me lately he has been lead to pray for me, that I will be protected from stuff he would not specify.

I wonder if he was lead to pray for me that one near fateful day? I thanked him without delving into too much details. I asked him about his life and he told me about his current struggles. Well should i say his ongoing struggle for the past five years. I told him he knew what he needed to do and at this point, it's really up to him to decide what to do.

But i love her.

I had to roll my eyes. I have accompanied this guy when he would buy flowers in dangwa for the girl. I had no doubt about it but he has some hesitations not about the love but more about God's will for the relationship. How did you do it? Was it easy?

Nothing is ever easy. Way after you've decided that it really is something that Big J has been telling you and not just your own neurosis, then it's up to you to decide. Do you surrender or do you fight? Either way it can't be left hanging. By not choosing to move when you have to move is wrong. I would rather flip a coin and let that coin decide for me, follow that and then if it turns wrong I'd blame the coin... But for Pete's sake, start deciding. The world has turned for the nth time now, spring came, summer went by, leaves have fallen and winter is here, and yet you still are undecided. Buy an eight ball.

My friend loves me and i love him so he knows that whatever i speak, it's all for him, not for some sadistic reason. I've known him for more than half of my life and he is a part of it. Whatever happens to him concerns me.

On another note, my best friend, M, is a size 9 kid. I need to write that down here cause i plan to give him his lebron shoes when i come back home. I might forget. It's a bit pricey but i think seeing his face light up when i give him those shoes would be priceless.

I can't wait for my balikbayan box to arrive in the philippines. I hope our household help would like the bag and shoes i bought for her. She's not really a household help, she's this classy lady that likes to play mah-jong and cook food for us. She doesn't even do the laundry and ironing. Anyways, i covered the whole box with a gift wrapper. I love christmas shopping. I just hope i could see their faces when they open the box. I bought myself a drum set. I'm thinking i don't need any gifts, it's nice to receive them cause that means you are on somebody's list, but really i have everything a person could ever want and i lack nothing. I am quite simple when it turns to the happiness department. Heck chocnut makes me happy. Or fishballs. Or m and m's peanut. Or ferrero. I don't like expensive clothes or shoes so i don't pine after those stuff. I would at one point though, buy my own beach house where help would just feed me with grapes... Oops. I got carried away.

Jilly Girl and Mareng Eileen and Happy Jo are now official consultants. Anesthesiologist and two eye doctors. I'm so proud of them. Hmmm now what about the next installment of drama for our beloved friend Dors? I'm on standby mode for their latest adventure that would take them to Bacolod by the end of this year for some season ender drama. I wonder if Madam Mayla and kuya zaldy are in on the loop? I feel like i'm writing some blind item column here. Shout out to my friends in med school. Got another year left and i would be so finished with residency. Woohoo!

It must be the fact that i saw the sun today that i'm feeling pretty happy. I can't understand why the michigan ancestors stayed here. I cant fathom the reason why they did not continue walking south. How many animals had to killed so they would stay warm? I don't see any caves here.

Must study.
