good conversations
so busy with this and that and that and this... i had been trying to see imagining reality rehearse for the play. i tried 3 times and the first 2 i couldn't stay very long. but in those short moments, i had some great conversations. and great hugs. some people needed them, some people needed to give them. thank God for both. goodness, i miss hanging out with people. i miss the spontaneous ones especially. had the best time with ines and theresa at disneyland (yay, yearly passports!) a few months ago. had a great time catching up with joe and lisa dinglasan. those two are so super duper blessed people. doors just keep opening to them. and after their first year of marriage, they are so super in love and totally not sick of each other. lisa said something great last night. she said one of the best things is that they never lived together before getting married, so it's been a great time moving in together, getting to know each other on that different level. and that was so beautiful to me. i think there should be something different when people get married. a totally new beginning of a life joined together.
jei's party last week was really great too. saw old friends, but most of all, just sat, hung out, played with the baby (almost dropping him, decapitating him. but i caught him, i promise!). there was lots of laughter, some at my expense. and getting caught up with friends.
there was a time a lil while ago too when i hadn't seen people for a while and we went to a gathering and i told glenn, "it's nice to see people other than you." heheeh, i know it sounds bad. but seriously, variety is good. gl & i work together, hang out together all the time. i'm not complaining at all, but sometimes, you just need other people too, y'kno?
i miss listening to people and connecting with them. it doesn't happen often anymore. i mean, i've got to schedule every minute of the nights and weekends almost a month in advance. between people going out of town on business or school or whatever, it's so hard to pin people down. that's why i totally appreciate my low-maintenance friends. and when we do get together, we can connect easily and comfortably. it's the relationships and the constant connection that i miss. i love that part of life. i love watching relationships unfold. my parents and their ever-evolving relationship, newlyweds, mothers & daughters, boyfriend/girlfriends, old friends... i love their stories and lessons. i think i could just sit in a park all day and watch them interact together.
oh my goodness, there was this cute little couple after class on wednesday. the guy is my classmate, a totally nice, borderline nerdy guy. he left class right in front of me on wednesday and his girlfriend was waiting for him right outside and i totally gushed at how sweet they were to each other. they even walked in step together and went down the stairs at the same time, making very quick steps down, all the while holding hands with their fingers interlaced together. i was beaming the whole time they were in front of me and i just wanted to say, "awwwwww!!!"
a few weeks ago, i had a good conversation with melissa too. we just sat and chitchatted after first friday vigil at holy family. again, it was just really nice to connect with someone and get to know their thoughts and feelings better.
it'll be nice to have a 3-day weekend. hmmm, what to do, what to do... hey, here's a thought: let's get together!

-
"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the
greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks
nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid
suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change,
grow, live, and love."
~unknown
"It has been my experience that folks who have no vices have very few virtues."
~ Abraham Lincoln
"live a life that others will remember years from now, NOT because it pointed to you but because of how it pointed to the One who made you."
~ Mark Hart, the Bible Geek
"we grow up learning to become self-reliant, but really we need to be God-reliant"
"we could learn a lot from crayons: some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names, and all are different colors....but they all exist very nicely in the same box"
"never wound hearts that love u, never give them the endless pain, because wounded hearts are like roses that never bloom"
"there comes a time when we have to stop loving someone not because that person has stopped loving us but because we have found out that they'd be happier if we'd let go"
