Eargasm: Dancing when the stars go blue

Oh what an eventful day it was! And it all started once I set foot out of the house!

First of all, it was Pickles' birthday. I dragged my good friend, Lek, to Town in search for the perfect gift. It felt quite weird shopping for her. She had changed so much since last year. I had to look for something loud and sexy. But that got me all iffy so I chose to shop for accessories instead.

After buying the gifts, Lek and I proceeded to Friday's where we talked about..Life. In general. I learned a lot from that girl. In the span of 2 hours, we pondered, debated and interrogated each other. It came down to this realization, that Happiness IS a choice. You can choose to dwell on your problems and become totally miserable, or choose to react differently. "Besides," she told me, "you are doing so much better since senior year. you're glowin!" [Since our term break started, we have been the cheesiest bunch of weirdos on the planet]

So I have resolved to (in the coming days) to be happier and to not let the tiniest things bother me. I, of course, did not expect Life to test me within minutes of our time in Friday's.

In the cinema area, I bumped into a friend (who long ago broke my heart) and he was telling me about his new girl and being all chummy with me. It was fun, and it didn't bother me much. Next, I bumped into the boy who screwed up. He was walking around with his new girl (my friend) and wow...that was the kicker. It was alright, I guess. I didn't let that get to me.

Lek was laughing the entire time. What more could happen?? We (Pao, Lek and I) drove to Pickle's place and dropped her present. I had to chase the car since my friends drove away...T_T

We were making bets. Lek was so sure the day wasn't over yet. Pao said nothing happens in twos, but threes. Someone else was bound to suprise me. From Pickle's house to mine, we were laughing and singing along to stupid songs. I was all good! I got home, happy that the day was finally over and that I won the bet.

Damn, was I so wrong..

He came by my place. The boy-who-really-screwed-up-but-is-making-the-effort -to-change. He gave me a caricature of myself and I was reduced to laughter. Attached to the caricature was a note: "Just wanted to make you smile..."

And that's how I lost the bet.
