Yesterday, I got two of the most nicest compliments I have had in weeks. One was from a friend who I have met a month ago and who has been “busy” juggling work and school so we cannot have our regular phone convoy nowadays. But yesterday was a pretty different day for him. You see, a couple weeks ago he was kind of anxious about this big Tuesday exam day in school but when he called me yesterday and said that the exam result just went out. And I was like, yea how was it!? I know you aced it but yea…and he did! Really. Flattering part was that when he said YES I DID GOOD WITH THE EXAM B/C YOU’RE AN INSPIRATION TO ME!

Gee. I’m glad to know that I could play that big of a role (even for just a day, perhaps) to someone who I just met. Well I could say that I’m lucky because he’s one of the few good friends I have since I got here in the US. I can pretty much talk to him about anything. Don’t get me wrong, I of course, still would choose my hubby to talk about anything at the end of each day but you know how different it is when you have an adult friend. So maybe when he said that I’m his inspiration, it could be because of what I told him of what I was able to accomplish while I was still studying and having a parttime job at the same time, and this hunger I always have for learning and going to classes/school. Or maybe there’s an even more reason why I am his inspiration… Anyways.

Second compliment was given at the latter part of the day. It was so unexpected, like the first one. I could not pretty much give details about it but here’s what he basically just said: HEY, YOU LOOK DIFFERENT TODAY. DID YOU DO SOMETHING NEW TO YOUR HAIR? I was like: No, I just pulled it back loosely. And he said: OH YEA. BUT IT SURE LOOKS GOOD.

I know I made a big fuss out of that when in fact, I should have not but I have been grouchy and feeling unpretty for a couple days so I really needed that one. And besides….never mind. (lol).

So I guess that’s it. I hope you’ll have that kind of day today when you get pretty little good surprises from people you know, or don’t even know…now that’s better. (lol).

Excess: And here’s one of the very many songs that I love from The Gap’s Oct2006 CD. Oh correction…I’m sooo in love with the song ok! Paolo Nutini’s LAST REQUEST…

Slow down, Lie down,
Remember it’s just you and me.
Don’t sell out, bow out,
Remember how this used to be.

I just want you closer,
Is that alright?
Baby let’s get closer tonight

(chorus:)
Grant my last request,
And just let me hold you.
Don’t shrug your shoulders,
Lay down beside me.
Sure I can accept that we’re going nowhere,
But one last time just go there,
Lay down beside me

Oh, I’ve found, that I’m bound
To wander down that one way road.
And I realise all about your lies
But I’m no wiser than the fool I was before.

I just want you closer,
Is that alright?
Baby let’s get closer tonight

Oh, baby, baby, baby,
Tell me how can, how can this be wrong?

Yeah, lay down beside me.

One last time let’s go there,
Lay down beside me
