My Pink Shoelace

Here’s a Christmas message from my boss delivered by Santa Claus and I have to tell you I absolutely love it. She also sent us a Christmas card yesterday and its hilarious … see below:

Happy Holiday everyone, stay safe!

When it comes to business opportunities Ellie is quick and would almost always get a head start. The other day she was working on a dashboard product plugin telling us that this will improve the way we see ecommerce and how she’d be able to transform wordpress as a platform. Rosie smirked while I looked at her impressed. I get impressed easily and from the sound of it she looks so sure that it would work.

In Loving Memory Of: Mom’s 4th Death Anniversary
I miss you but I know I’ll see you when I get there
So for now …. don’t worry about me
Am doing just fine …
Really

Being able to stay beside the one you love is one of the privileges of a friend. – Usami Akihiko

A friend of mine contracted this famous illness that no anti-biotic could ever cure about a week ago; yes she got her heart broken. We chatted AIM and I listened to her rant, rave, and whine about this guy who’s giving mixed signals. Our conversation eventually led to her saying that she can’t be friends with him anymore otherwise how on earth can she move on. I told her the quote from above and she asked me how did you get over him. Huh! Good question …. I was thinking more in the lines of … am I really over him or was it just bravado or keeping face that had me say I am.

Then one thing led to another and dinner with her and him was set on a Sunday after my piano class. The moment I woke up on Sunday till the time I had to get ready for class I was debating whether I should go or not. Seriously I have not seen him for a year and though I’d like to think my heart is safe am not sure if that really is the case. Was I ready to test the waters? Or will I end up where I did four years ago?

When I saw him and when he saw me … it was spontaneous, nothing has changed we’re still friends and am glad. Am glad I didn’t make an ass of myself by telling him I can’t be friends with him anymore. Am glad that whatever emotional struggles I had I kept it under wraps. I survived dinner just fine and surprisingly found myself enjoying the company of these two people whom I haven’t seen for a year.

Someone used to tell me before … I may not have her as my girlfriend but at least I have her as a friend. At that moment that’s all that really mattered.
