I am a broken down old toy...

I must say, the last week and a half or so have been full of ups and downs. Doesn't really matter what specific events passed, because whatever they were, I think they happened for a reason. And they have caused me to really think about the relationships in my life: how I treat people, how I act, and just how I am. I think I sometimes classify people into certain categories insofar as how I deal with them. There are those that I keep in constant contact with and those I see or talk to every so often, and then there's those I rarely see. With people who are a constant or a regular presense in my life, things tend to be quite simple. You see each other often enough and little to no time passes where there is a lack of contact. Now in the third case, these rarely seen people are just difficult to get into contact w/ because of the busy-ness of our schedules, or simply a matter of distance. But when I usually talk to these people, it's as if barely any time has passed since our last conversation, or cup of coffee. Not all people are the same, and I guess I've occasionally run into situations where I thought the once-in-a-while-don't-talk to too often-but-it's totally cool when we DO talk-people were not in fact what I originally deemed them to be. But I guess that's the whole part of these various relationships in our lives, we have to figure them all out, and each one is different from another. Back in hs, I was called a friendhopper once, and I was initially offended. But then I thought about it... It's like a road network...One gets close to certain people as their paths cross in their lives...some cross many times, others, not so often. Some run parallel, some converge, and sadly, others diverge. It's just one of those things and we deal w/ it...but what's truly important is that it's what one does when the paths are close is what counts...because that is what will dictate what happens when those roads move away from one another. So it's a good idea to take a look in the mirror once in a while and make sure you're making the best of what you got...

Where did the time go?
Seriously...I can't believe it's already X-mas on Saturday. Maybe it's just me, becuase I was in the Philippines during Thanksgiving and I didn't really go through that "changeover" holiday thingy. Maybe cuz when I got back it was already in the middle of the x-mas shopping season. Or maybe everyone else feels it too. The time has been going by too fast lately... At least I'm practially done w/ my x-mas shopping, only 4 people to go, and then, it's wrap wrap wrap away!

You know those times, when you have so much you wanna say or write but just don't have the time to do it? Well, this is one of those times...and I know I'm gonna forget all of the stuff I wanted to say initially, so that totally sucks.... Here's to all the lost thoughts in my head...
