waking up at eight-thirty is a bliss. what a beautiful and peaceful morn. last night was different. it was something much more than a blissful night, it was definitely to be remembered.
just like how i said to boo that yesterday was a yellow-traffic-light day since all we encountered on the way from williams landing to airport to city was nothing but yellow lights, the past week was people week. i might be exaggerating but i reckon i learned so much more about people in the past few days than during last year. last year was wonderful and eventful, but the revelation of each and every one's true nature really came about just recently. i know all the theory about people and mankind and society and personalities and all those sociological shit, but it never enlighten before.
it all started with a broken computer, the subject of my first ever argument with boo. the irony of this is that we fought right after KD's last week sermon about fights and quarrels. "the wars outside come from the war inside". how pathetic am i, eh? my God does have an uncanny sense of humour. oh well, if this is what we need to learn, let Your will be done, Lord. in a way though, after all the tears and apologies, it opened up my eyes more in understanding people, understanding myself and understanding him. understanding a little bit more of how this world works and how things are not always as you think they are.
unmet expectation is always disappointing. in this case, it happened due to the existence of differences (finally, differences! after boo and i spend a lot of time marveling at our similarities). different perspective and different upbringing. different experiences. different way of reacting to a certain circumstance. after all, i was at fault too for not understanding and expecting things to be done my way. sis told me just this morning about something a friend said, (warning: this is gonna be the first time i post a full sentence in indo),"yah mo gimana lagi, maklum lah, dia kan ga pernah pacaran sebelomnya". please note, boo, it's not about you :p anyways, after hearing that, i felt so selfish.
this relationship is something novel to for both of us. mixing two person and two personalities together is not easy at all. i learned no matter how similar you are, there will be upsetting things like this and you just have to learn to deal with it. one of life lessons i've often heard, never comprehended till last week.
experience is the best teacher they say. now, coming back to last night, bul called me earlier in the arvo to come to lo's to chill and have dinner together. simply another hanging-out-together night with some of the people i love the most in melbie was turned into heartwarming, honest, open, sharing night, so overwhelming and overjoying. past experiences and past stories flowed out of everyone's mouth with no awkwardness. we laughed, some cried. we prayed together before we went home and you just can feel the love of God in that little fellowship. how about all the goss and the stories? sorry, dude, whatever's in that room that night, stayed in that room that night :p
ah, blessed!
