odd days such as this

I received a call from my buddy today and it made my day :-). Lo, when he said that he was homesick (he's been posted in Indonesia) i felt rather sad WITH him, cause there's nothing much we can do about it but pray that time will feel like a breeze. *SIGH* if only. Can't wait till December when he comes back for the holiday. I rather miss his company in fact.

By the way, i find this email from my friend rather sweet ;-) , thought I'd post it in here. Well, okay, it may sound normal to you, but hey, I'm just feeling sappy these days. Allow me to indulge in my excessive sentimentality a'ight?...hehe...

joy, it don't matter what i say, it don't matter what everybody says, remember compliments, not criticisms... besides, if i were you, id go through your dad's paper cuttings n see what he's trying to prove, maybe he's like that guy genius in that movie cant remember the title starring russell crowe and ed harris that decipher codes in newspaper cuttings and interprt it as government propaganda conspiracy theory mumbo jumbo thingy... my point is, the sooner you can be comfortable with all the criticisms you get in this very short lifetime the sooner you will be able to function as a happy woodpecker...

"the reason why you lie there in that ditch is because you think there is still hope, but son... the only hope left is to accept the fact that you're already dead, only then will you be able to function as a soldier..." band of brothers episode 4,... or isit 5...

im just messing wit ya...

im still your best buddy, your faithful listener, and if you're still pissed off, remember this, "to err is human, to forgive divine..."

"if you wana be happy for an hour, go get drunk,

if you wana be happy for a night, sleep with a girl,

if you wana be happy for 3 days, get married,

if you wana be happy forever, seek God... or something like dat..."

Chinese proverbs modified by me...

Wonder what made him think that I was pissed with him? I wasn't AT ALL. :-) But it made him send me this nice email...so I'm not complaining.

A great friend is a wonderful gift from God. So my dear good buddy, if you're reading this, THANKS for being mine!
