Two days before I was thinking of writing a post on all the lame jokes that I've heard or used. But until yesterday evening, I was no longer in the mood for jokes as I felt like a bad joke was on me. So I decided to shelf that thought for the moment until I'm in the mood for jokes again.
Blogging has never been easy for me because when I'm inspired, I don't have my equipments with me and when I have them, I forgot what I wanted to blog about. But I need my blog because when I have no place or person to turn to, I'll just pour out here as if someone's listening. If I want to attach a picture to this post, it's gonna be a picture of a dark storm with rain, lightning and a tornado. Just the thought of that picture made me feel worst, so I decided not to include any pictures in this post.
Recently I asked someone this question..."How does one tell the difference between sincerity and pretend?". The answer given to me was..."Sincerity is when you don't expect something in return of your actions". Yes, I do agree with the answer BUT...WHEN can you tell the difference? It's good if we could tell the difference immediately but that rarely happens. For me, some took years, some took months and some took days. No matter whether it was years or days, it hurts equally.
Is it always about what we can get out of the other? Does friendship need ROI? Meaning, having to calculate the worth of returns for every effort put into that friendship. If the returns are not up to expectation, then drop it. Since when friendship have evolved to become some sort of investment plan? Maybe I missed that memo. What happened to being there for each other in times of need, putting a smile on their face when they are frowning or just giving the other a shoulder to cry on? I think my "Guide To Friendship" is outdated. Maybe there's a Volume II (An updated version) available for download somewhere.
When one gets bitten, usually one should be twice shy. But I've got bitten many times now and I'm still not getting shy. In English we say, "Serves you right!", in Malay we say, "Padan muka!" and in Chinese...erm...sorry, I don't write Chinese. But that's just me.
There's nothing much I could do as I can't control what others do or think. I'll just have to wait for this bad storm to past.
