Life's Unpredictable

I recently found out that one of my childhood friends went through a rough patch. She has recently separated from her boyfriend of 4years. 4 friggin' years! Can you imagine that? I've seen them together and how my dad made fun of them last year during Chinese New Year at my place. They were handcuffed using one of the Uncle's handcuffs (duhh..he's a policeman). I remembered that each time we gambled, she would text him and ask him to change his boxers to red. We would all laugh but at the end of our gambling sessions, she'll be the one having the last laugh. Pffttt...

And the fact that they look freakishly alike as time goes by...

I asked her if something could have been done to save it. She said she kinda knew it since the day one moved up north and the other down south for their studies last year.

The reason I'm telling you this is that I could relate to her. I mean, 4 years and nothing can be done? I can imagine the pain she went through throughout the month after that episode. And, deep down, I am developing this fear. They have been together for 4 years and they only had their LDR within Malaysia and the both of them see each other say, once a month or so, yet this could happen. No third party, whatsoever. It was the distance.

Galv and I have just passed the 6 month mark (also labelled as the "safe zone"). We are God-knows-how-many-miles away from each other and I barely see him (cause he doesn't have a webcam but that doesn't count, does it?). How about us? Our relationship is definitely more fragile. I've known Galv for barely 3 years and we did not talk to each other last time unless one of us needs a heart-to-heart talk or whatever, most of the time done secretly behind their backs.

Anything can happen. Who knows? I might go through the same thing or some really innocent girl could just sleep with him and then they could have a shot-gun marriage or.. I don't know! The thought of it itself gives me chills.

On another note, I burnt my finger and I will most probably be scarred for life. *&@#^&%! I'm not going to cook anymore. After this it'll just involve the microwave or it'll be cereals for meals. Thats it!

Can you see it?
Galv thinks that I'm being too sensitive.
Its my hand! I have to look at it all the time!
Thank God its my right hand.
At least I don't have to look at it while I'm writing.

Till then, you are my guilty pleasure that I'll never let go

xoxo, -carmen-

there there it's okay i've been through the same thing for more than 2 years. it's not impossible you just have to go through it. all the stupid phases that got more powerful because of the distance.

Happy early xmas btw!
