Is he your boyfriend?
Me: You don't have a boyfriend, you have an affair.
Anon: Really? What's the difference? Blog about it.
Don't get Anon wrong. She's just in a complicated relationship that span 10 years of on contact and off contact. The so called boyfriend was her boyfriend until something "tragically confusing" happened. Anyway, here they are after 10 over years.
So, when is it an affair and when is it a relationship you ask? I'm going to make it short and simple. Because it doesn't deserve a long explanation. You're just stubborn, Anon. :-p
He is an affair when you have specific timing to call or meet. He is an affair when he cannot get away when you need him the most. He is an affair when the reason he could not be there is because his commitment to his other half. He is an affair, when clearly nothing short of tears could result from your contact with him. He is an affair because officially he belongs to someone else!
He is a boyfriend (okay, pardon me if I go overboard with this... hehehe) when his is the last voice that you hear before you go to bed and most probably the first that you hear when you wake up. He is there whenever you need him and however you need him. He is your shoulder to cry on and the reason your day gets better. He is the voice of reason that makes you face reality and the dream you float with on your cloud nine (hah! Amik ko! hahaha). He is a boyfriend because officially he belongs to you!
How do you end the affair then? No calls. No contacts. No SMS. No IMs. No MMS. Delete without reading anything from him and nothing from you to him. Nil. Zit. Fin! Tears are allowed once a while within the first month. Go out with other people. And DO NOT COMPARE! Take time to smell the rose (and other manly cologne besides his!). Bottom line, you have to take the first step to severe the tie. Do not prolong the pain and misery. If a guy is the reason you cry your unhappiness, he is a guy that is not worth your time to waste on. Trust me on this.
A Poem About Our Girlfriends
I receive a beautiful post... and would like to share it with my sistas out there.
A POEM ABOUT OUR GIRLFRIENDS
Someone will always be prettier.
Someone will always be smarter.
Some of their houses will be bigger.
Some will drive a better car.
Their children will do better in school.
And their husband will fix more things around the house.
So let it go, and love you and your circumstances.
Think about it!
The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart.
And the most highly favored
woman on your job may be unable to have children.
And the richest woman you know,
she's got the car, the house, the clothes~~~~
might be lonely.
And the word says, "If I have not Love, I am nothing."
So, again, love you.
Love who you are.
Look in the mirror in the morning and smile and say,
"I am too Blessed to be Stressed and too Anointed, to be Disappointed!"
"Winners make things happen ~~ Losers let things happen."
Be "Blessed" Ladies~~~~~
and pass this on to encourage another woman.
"To the world you might be one person,
but to the one person you just sent this to,
it could mean so much."
SEND THIS TO YOUR FAVORITE WOMEN ~~
I JUST DID !
"Never regret anything that made you smile"

Similar but not quite the same
I traveled by LRT from the Gombak station today...
8 years ago, it was easy to get parking spot at the station.
Today, you are graced with luck if you get one after 8am.
8 years ago, there were no queues going into the train.
Today, the line stretched almost end-to-end of the platform.
8 years ago, there was one vacant green patch near Damai Station.
Today, it's still there. Vacant.
8 years ago, after rushing to the exit gate, people take time to walk to their destination.
Today, they rush all the way.
8 years ago, the transit bus schedule is unpredictable.
Today, it still is.
8 years ago a 4 year old is happily running around at 4 pm.
Today, they are in school. Learning something valuable, according to the parents.
8 years ago a kid can go to the sundry shop to get his favourite junk food.
Today, he might get kidnapped.
8 years ago teachers teach because they want to educate.
Today, they are just another wage earner.
8 years ago counter workers at government departments are slow.
Today, they still are.
8 years ago CUEPACS asked for this incentive and that reward.
Today, they still scream the same.
Certain things have changed. Some still remain the same. We use to take our time when we walk, and then some people call us lazy Malaysians. Now our pace is too fast, we forget to smell the flowers and enjoy the surrounding. We used to be more laid back, now we are impatient and always angry.
I am not oppose to change. Neither do I disagree with development. But I believe we should take time to slow down, or even, freeze in time. ;-) Take time to walk across the park, instead of the tunnel that connects Suria to the Convention Centre. Take longer drive back home instead of getting stuck in the traffic.
To Cuepacs, I have a suggestion. Stop asking for more, because the more you ask for reward, the higher prices increase. Or haven't you realised that? Our living cost is a reflection of your requests. In the end, it will never be enough, price keep on increasing and your standard of living still remain the same. Isn't there something wrong with the way you're doing things? Why can't you people instead try to improve your work quality. There are 10 counters available, can't you make sure all counters have its operator? And not only open 4 out of 10?
Anyway, I babbled too much already. So, I'm typing off here.

Sinful
My impulsive purchase yesterday..
I give it to myself with love... hehe...
UPDATE: I think I've been duped. This perfume is 2 years old! They have even launched the new one; Wrapped With Love. Duh. Summore, the sales guy said it has vanilla scent. Clearly he doesn't know the product. :-p It's mangosteen! For all I know, this might be clearance stock by Elizabeth Arden. No wonder they are selling it cheap for 100ml... He he he... Regardless, I like the scent. Kinda woody musky in the end. All mysterious and all woman!
