Guys!!! I have news to announce!! I am in the process of preparing a new blog! It will be titled…………hehehe I won’t say yet!!! ^_^ I think it’s a cute name though!! hehehehe
This idea has been in my mind since April but because of other commitments and me just gathering my thoughts, I have not posted about it till now. It’s final form is still a bit hazy but these are my ideas at the moment. I want to see what YOUR thoughts are. Also, there is a way for you all to take part in it too!
The blog is meant to be a way for me to remember happenings between my friend/s and I. Like a series of one-shots. Originally the intention was that everything in this blog be factual but I think I may dabble in a bit of fiction – don’t know yet. Even if there is no fiction, I do not doubt that some incidents will be somewhat sensationalised by the writing. To make it more interesting, I want participation from others too. For example, in the past, some of you have shared their experiences too. Like SmaL, Nerei, Jessy, NatShiz and E. At the start, people can submit their posts to me and I’ll put them up. If you become a regular poster, you could even become an “author”. How does that sound?
There’s also that bunch of you who say, “OMG! We’re SOOO similar!…I’ve had similar experiences too!!” etc etc So why not share that with us?? From my memory, there’s Garden and ikon. Sorry if I’ve missed any others.
Anyway, what are ur thoughts? Is this something that you will be interested in reading/writing? Also, to avoid the actual person in the story seeing this, I think this blog will have to be made private. Not exactly sure how that works but I think you need to register first etc. Does that give us a bit more comfort?
Guys!! Let me know what you THINK!!!
Given all the yuri anime that I’ve been going on about lately, I thought it’s about time, I posted about S again.
She normally has an expresso while I’ll get a skim latte.
She was away the other day and instead of a latte I got an expresso. Why? I’m sure you can work it out.
Days later she found out that I had an expresso…
“Aaaaw…missed me that much?”
“……No! I just wanted an expresso!”
If this was in an anime, this would be an ultimate *BLUSH* scene!! It was embarrassing at the time but thinking back, it kind of makes me smile. : )
Sorry to bore you with this kind of crap.
Just a short update about S and me.
I’m about to go on a short trip. People have been asking whether I’m excited and all but I’m not. Though the amount of work I have to clear out may be an issue, I think I know what the real reason is. I won’t be able to see S while I’m away! >_< We won’t be having our coffee runs, lunches, dinners, silly chit chats, and just general hanging out time. Thinking about this honestly makes me a little sad. =( This feeling reminds me of a previous friendship where (let’s call her J) my friend left the country soon after our fight. *sigh* Clearly the feeling is not even a fraction of what I felt last time but there is some resemblance. It feels like the same kind of dullness but on opposite ends of the scale.
Anyway, it’s not like I can say that I’m not going now. I’ll just think of her during the trip, listen to the songs she lent me and drink her usual coffee! I’ll also buy her heaps of souvenirs and gifts!!! =)
*Hours after writing the above*
I couldn’t resist and sent her a SMS!! =P
Let’s call her S. She was a new addition to the department. My initial impression of her? Cold, serious, elegant and fairly quiet. I also recall her sighing every once in a while. Like something was constantly tiring her out. I wouldn’t quite describe her as pretty but she had clean features with a defined face. I’d say she was relatively cool and elegant. Still attractive but in another way.
It’s now a nice couple of months down the track and we are very good friends. Coffee buddies, shopping buddies, dinner buddies etc! There’s also plenty of SMS-ing going on about random things.
Oh! Guess what I saw?… OMG I just bought a pair of heels!!… This dinner is really boring. I wish I could go…
We always have a lot of fun and constantly end up giggling to no end. Then one day, something happened that made me think twice about our friendship.
I was at dinner with other friends and was replying to her SMS (which was probably my 4th SMS by now since we left work about 2 or 3 hrs ago) when my friend teases me as to who I’m texting and tries to look. Without thinking, I slammed my phone shut immediately. Even my own reaction caught myself by surprise! That obviously caused a few raised brows and I tried to explain that it was just a friend. I basically sounded very suspicious. I’m sure I had a look of awkwardness on my face. The strange thing about my response was that my friend knows this girl! I could have easily said, “It’s S”. Hmm…but why didn’t I say that?
A few points describing us:
- From the moment I leave work, I feel like sending her a SMS.
- After sending an SMS, I will eye on the phone regularly in hope of a reply soon.
- I look forward to work because I will get to see her – to the extent that I still want to go to work if I was sick.
- If I had the choice, I would want to see her all the time.
- I’d choose time with her over anyone else.
Is the above normal? I used to think it was until incidents of my last friendship like this were found in the story line of Girl Friends. Maybe it’s not?
So my question to you is:
Is she just a very good friend or is there something more?
Just then, completely out of the blue, my cell phone rang…
Caller ID: Unavailable
Should I pick it up? What if it’s my manager? Hmm….seems a bit early for him though…should I ignore it? No I’ll pick it up…
So I pressed on answer and said “Hello?”
Sleepy? (well they clearly called me by my REAL name…)
A very familiar voice came through…there was some crackly sound in the line but I could recognise that voice…it was a friend…once a very close friend whom I have not spoken to in a long while. Actually let me rephrase – the last time we saw was probably a few months ago but something happened a while back and since the incident, the distance between us has grown and our conversation is often general “hi, bye, how’s it going” kind of topics. I feel that there’s an odd “stranger-like” presence between us. Anyway, a few weeks ago, I emailed her and tried to settle the issue from a long time ago (we never resolved it). Luckily my email was accepted with friendliness and after a few more emails – it was reassured that the incident has since past. There should be no more grudges and that we remain good friends. To me that was a big relief. I like to resolve things rather than let things hang. Finally knowing she has no more negative feelings from the incident makes a serious difference to me.
Now back to the call – we had a brief but friendly chit chat. It was relaxed and almost reminded me of times before the incident. Again, I’m relieved that our friendship is almost back to normal. It would be a great loss to me if this friendship was scarred or lost.
*sigh* + smile
Today is a good day… ^_^
