After so many years, who would have thought that I would still be missing him since the day Dad gave him away. Charlie's an absolute sweetheart apart from being my puppy and I watched him grew then, he was smart, accommodating, forgiving, he was my great playmate and he was the one and only pup I looked forward running home to every single day after school. I love him so very much. The good thing about reminiscing times spent with him is I get to relive those happy moments but the downside is I miss him terribly to the extent I feel my heart ache a little every single time I think of him. I miss him. I really do.

"I never realised I was so close to losing you until it happened. And then without a sign, everything that made me happy was gone. Reflecting, I often wonder what is it exactly that I've done wrong to make things between us go bad. Then I realised it's not about what I've done but rather what I've not been doing, keeping you close to my heart by cherishing you. Never thought you would actually leave me but when you did, I realised no one else in this lifetime can make me any more happier than you did and now that you're gone, all I feel is a void because you've filled up every inch of my heart since a long time ago."

Friend was complaining to me about his obnoxious girlfriend who seems to be affected by the many insignificant little things in life for e.g. Friendster account.

Friend's status on friendster is set as complicated ie. 'it's complicated', girlfriend was visibly upset with it and I can totally understand her exasperation for you are either in a relationship or you are not, what is so complicated about that?

Relationships are particularly complicated only when someone is not in 'a' relationship but in multiple relationships and/or they are seeing someone unofficially or on a casual basis with absolutely no strings attached.

I guess when you are in love and am involved with someone, the first thing you probably would do is to tell your friends about your new boyfriend / girlfriend, you will unequivocally confer that him /her the boyfriend / girlfriend status and there's absolutely no room for doubts that you might still be available somehow (which is why some girls do get upset when boyfriends stick with the status of being single: which reads woo-hoo ladies out there I'm still a swinging bachelor or worse change the status to being it's complicated: which reads well I'm sort of in a relationship hmm...then maybe not why don't you ask me and find out or I'm not in 'a' relationship but in multiple relationships.)

It's not about being all superficial judging your girl/guy's affections with friendster account but it does say something yes no? Well at least it does to me, which reminds me I have to get my guy to change his status to being in a relationship soon before my imagination runs riot or before friend starts labelling me as the psychotic girl who's disillusioned and demented again because apparently I am the only one in the supposedly relationship who thinks she is in a relationship with him where in actual fact, it's a one sided affair, haha!

I mean come on folks, you love that person enough to want to be involved with him/her but you can't just unequivocally declare you are in a relationship with him/her? It's a little farcical, it's like how the preacher once preached that if a man loves you enough to be with you but loves you not enough to tell you he loves you then you are better off without him. (The preacher is damn cool la, he says he tells his wife he loves her in the morning, in the afternoon and in the night because he loves her but I think he's doing that to remind her in case she forgets)

Sometimes in a relationship, it's not the big wayang things that matter but rather the little insignificant things that matter most. And before you go on and argue superficiality or what other preposterous reasons you can come up with for insisting on putting up your single / complicated status, just put yourself in the other person's shoes. Or maybe let's forget about friendster let's just change the situation a little, say someone asks your girlfriend if she's attached, to which she replies, well you know it's complicated or well it's just status does it really matter? Now it shouldn't be too difficult to see why it matters yes no? Interpret it in 101 ways (1) she's not sure if she's with you (2) why should she go around declaring she's all snapped up (3) you don't matter (4) it's really just status honey, does it matter if friends know?

FYI: It's complicated status is not meant for gays. Gays do use in a relationship status too. Don't get it twisted!

Don't Leave Me In Love -Dierks Bentley

I know things haven't gone like you planned
And for that I'm partly to blame
You didn't want to fall in love not yet
Cause you've still got so many dreams to chase

And love is a double edged sword
It lets you walk though life feeling content
But that's a feeling you say you can't afford
And you'd be better off bein lonely again

Chorus:
But please don't leave me
Leave me in love
Before you walk away break my heart
Let me give you up
If you need your freedom
To find yourself
Release me from these chains of love
Lord knows I need your help

But please don't leave me
Don't leave me in love

You ask if you can hold me one last time
Sweetheart, you know I can't resist
You say tonight we'll fall asleep as lovers
But tomorrow we'll wake up as friends

Chorus Bridge:
How can I ever love somebody new
If I can't get my heart back from you

So please don't leave me
Don't leave me, don't leave me
Don't leave me in love
Don't leave me in love
Don't leave me

Once in a while, just once in a while, I like to be excessively indulgent in being nice...and sometimes that drives people nuts and sometimes cloy them out completely...and....

pssst....here's my secret, I like driving people bananas!

Happy new year everyone! Happy 2007, may you guys have aplenty of laughter, love, luck for the coming year and treasure and cherish what you have :)
