the perfect blend

Saturday, June 10, 2006

hmmmnn... brewed coffee, gonuts donuts and my bestfriend Rox. *perfect* It's been awhile since I've had a coffee date with this gal and I say that it's always been perfect, whether it's a simple concoction of instant Nescafe coffee to the expensive yet worth-it starbucks coffee. The perfect pal who listens to even the most absurd and mundane events in my life and who values my opinions. So it really doesn't matter which coffee it is for as long as I'm with my BFF. Hehehe We talked a lot about life and we catched up on each others lives. She, a buzzing, business something and me, my newfound love and the challenges of a sup role. I want to remember what we talked about, mostly about being unique individuals and that one cannot say that one is normal and the other is insane. So, when she told me that she finds herself mostly on the extremes and therefore considers herself insane ( I hope I remembered it right), I replied with a "Ah, dearie, what is normal anyway?" I didn't phrase that statement out from one of Coelho's books but I've had that opinion since I realized that we all are different, unique, crazy and we all have quirkiness. Like what my BFF said, there's no cookie cutter pattern that we need follow, we are all like snow flakes... Beautiful in all unusual way. I won't stress much about our uniqueness, cause there are a lot of facts to prove that we are all odds in our own odd way yet of course, not neglecting the fact that we also share some things in common... We don't necessarily have to conform to other peoples standards even if that person means a lot to us, which brings me to another topic.

My beau and I are either two peas in a pod or from different poles. Just the other night, he pointed out that he does not want to conform to the standards of other people, to put it plainly, to the standards of the people who mostly influenced who I am. I love him for who he is, and simply the way he is so I have no plans of convincing him to adapt to my lifestyle. We don't always like the same things and we don't always jive. He's so funny, outgoing, easy to get along with, and simple. While I, on the other hand, possess an aura of sophistication and complexity. He loves to laugh at the most corny jokes, he laughs out so loud, he loves to make fun of me, enjoys simple things and he sings his heart out. I love to just sit down with coffee and doughnut, talk about deep things in life, read a really good book and philosophize. Yet, underneath all the differences, I am happy and I am content just being with him. He made realize a lot of things, I used to believe that my friends and my beau SHOULD get along very well but that SHOULD not be necessarily the case. There are things that I enjoy doing with my friends, that I can share with my friends alone and there are also things that I share and enjoy doing with LINDZ alone. That I don't have to struggle or force him to do those things that I enjoy with my friends that he himself is not comfortable doing. Even though I want to share the fun that I have when I'm with my friends, I can't always force things to happen. So, I no longer find it a struggle nor an issue if my beau will not go out with my friends. I am fine and I am happy keeping my friends and keeping beau.

He just got the job on the 6th floor from where I am actually working at. I can't believe that we'll be working closer now than before. We both prayed hard for him not to leave and surprisingly the answer to our prayers is a job just 4 floors on top of the same building. I will never forget how he moved in to a boarding house really close to mine so he can be near me and now, we'll be working really close. I hope for many good things in store for us ahead.
