live

so today is a public holiday for one of the states here. sadly, my office isn't located within that state. so R and a bunch of my other friends are having a lovely day off while i'm stuck in the office. well, it isn't so bad cos R sent me to the office today, since we have plans to go grocery shopping at publika after i finish work today.

i was super-hungry today and since we ate out last night, i didn't cook anything and there were no leftover/supplies to bring to work today. so ended up making a quick pit stop at a stall near our place on the way to work to buy something for my lunch at the office later (since R sent me to work, i can't drive out) and also made another stop at a starbucks near the office to takeaway a cup of hot choc and their yummy banana-choc-chip muffin.

anyway, there have been a few friendship dramas brewing around lately. if this had happened like years ago, i would probably care more. not that i care about my friends less these days (i think i appreciate them more, actually) - i mean, i try to listen to the updates, but i try not to get too emotionally involved. i just give my perspective, and whether people want to listen or not - that's really up to them. we all deal with our demons differently, no? i can't force someone to deal with issues the way i would/do. and i always like to remind myself that there are always two sides to every story. so that i always try to look at something from all angles.

a lot of people think that i'm way too chill when it comes to certain issues. honestly, sometimes, these things get to me too. but sometimes, no matter what you say or do, things are just the way they are. and some people just refuse to change or even try to see things from other people's views. so why get so worked up over something that is beyond your control?

as they say, live, and let live.
