what friends are for...

after the events of today, i feel a different person for that period of time...

what are friends for:

1. when you go out for a meeting, they are there to ensure that no matter HOW BORED YOU GET, you will never leave the place, much less feel anymore bored/sleepy/restles/irritated

2. when they are around you, no matter how loner a person you may be, no matter how horrid you feel, their presence makes you feel great, as though you no one need to be alone, that all you can do is just complete your tasks one after another

3. when you appear dumb and stupid, they always say something that makes you look like an equal among the rest

4. when you feel afraid of trying something new, they are always there to egg on you to achieve that new item and the new experience

5. when you feel tired, they share your pain, and though this, you both feel better

6. when they are around you, you feel instantly better, and all anxiety and nervousness all disappear, they make you feel like you belong among them.

now the things you can do to be a friend:

1. no matter how stupid, sillly, dumb they may appear, remember that God loves them, they have special purposes in life, they will one day achieve great goals, so help them, love them

2. no matter how far you appear to be, God is always there, and when you and your friend meet again, it will feel closer than before, for it is then that you can see what makes that friend special in your life.

today i met a friend i haven't seen for a long time. we spending the day running round, "begging" shops for some of their burger wrappers might be the most silly thing to do during this holidays, but spending this few hours with her have been so funny. everything doesn't appear to be like a chore, more like an adventure. more funny is how her actions are so missed by where she has left. she behaves like a child, and i follow. finishing our tasks with rather good feeling of acomphisment, wandering shops like lost children, playing with anything...even how she spent three dollars trying to get a "fish out of water from chicken little" from those one dollars vending machines...ended up with a stranger helping us (mostly her) to get her "fish"...for that few hours, all i can think of is just how funny she is..life is just as simple as stay around her and feel happy, for just being her friend.

yes, i did spend a whole afternoon, but i think it was VERY VERY well spent. meeting a "lost" friend, running round city for various items from various fast-food resturants, hearing out her ideas about what can happen for the camp (in case you are wondering, we spent the afternoon on Youth Camp 'business'), it was well spent. no matter how much i play i can never much this level of happiness of just being there and being friends.
