Here and There
It's Sunday afternoon. We just woke up an hour back. The kids and the helper are at my parent's place, they spent the night there yesterday because the spouse and myself had some work to attend to till very late.
It's great to get some work that is fruitful. That we feel truly benefits our company. I certainly hope last night's event will work for us.
Anyway, Happy Belated Eid to everyone!!
I know I am two weeks' late but better late than never right? :)
Eid was quite uneventful for us. Just going to my parents place at around noon and then back home at 2pm to sleep. Yup....the spouse and myself slept till like 7pm while the kids were out with my parents. My dad took the car and we could not come along coz the car is too small. for 7 adults and 4 kids, hehe, of coz the spouse and I knew that and so we escaped the tradition of having to go around relative's places to renew and bind ties. Sneaky? Nope...just grateful that my parents are not the petty sort.
Anyway, 18th October was Feroz 7th birthday--yaaay, happy 7th birthday darling Feroz!! And just 2 days before that, we "celebrated" our 9th wedding anniversary.
Well...if you call, "work like mad, argue like mad at work, work like mad again, get f&%^ (not literally) at work by the boss, work like mad again, then close office, have dinner, kiss, kiss, hug, hug, get f&%^$ (literally)" a celebration.....then yeah...that was how we celebrated our anniversary. *roll eyes*....see , I told you, my life is much more happening than Britney Spears'.
Ok...serious post now.
I met a good old friend last Thursday. I actually made time to meet her...was close to calling it off but I knew that if I were to do that, I would never have a chance to see her anytime soon so, I just changed our dinner date to tea time...which later dragged to dinner, yeah, and the spouse kept on sms-ing, haha...and yup, that was one good catching up with old times date.
She is an individual that many girls hate but someone I got close to just because she is who she is. No pretense, no need to be nice when she does not have to, straightforward and have faith in her own somehow quite eccentric belief.
Well, her strong character has cost her to lose her jobs a couple of times but she is not a stupid woman. She is very intelligent, speaks and carries herself very well, attractive and very independent. She is full of passion and speaks beautifully about what she wants in life.
I like her a lot. I know that she is the kind of person that will be there for me in times of trouble, even though our characters kind of clash....
She told me,
"I have always been unhappy and often wonder why are these things always happening to me. But then, lately, I have been thinking a lot and I realised that I am unhappy because I did not see the good things in myself and that I am actually so blessed..........."
and how many of us are like that...so unhappy...so sad...so lonely....when actually all the goodness of oneself is there, in us, in our hearts...and all we had to do was accept ourselves for who we are, have faith in what we believe in, and step forward and give everything we could.
And that makes a difference.
God create all kinds of people with beliefs you sometimes wonder where they are coming from, and it just makes life much more interesting and makes one just stop and think for a while, and start feeling grateful for everything one has.
