The mid terms have come and gone, and so has the weekends! I am writing this post late into Sunday night (or the wee hours of Monday). My weekend was pretty much packed, meaning that I did not get a chance to clear my work. And that is, of course, the reason why I am still awake, trying to finish some assignments so the school week would not become a mad rush to meet deadlines.
Well, on Friday I went to tutor my cousin, and then was intending to sleep early. But as fate would have it, I ended up staying up late to cheer up my friend who was having BGR issues. I think that it is so strange how people can jump into a relationship without first trying to understand themselves. My friend's boyfriend had cheated on her last year. And now she tells me that they got back together a month ago. She is having doubts, and does not know if she is doing the right thing. I know, she is afraid to be hurt again, yet she does not want to throw away their relationship. Before resolving her internal turmoil, she jumps back straight into the thick of the mess again.
Personally, I feel she is not ready to renew this relationship with him. Not until she can forgive him. Otherwise the relationship would be full of doubts. The guy really has got to do something to make her feel secure again. Then again, he is in a difficult position too. His actions need to come across as natural and not forced.
I always feel the need to resolve my emotions and thoughts before making any decision. I do not like to go in half-blind and half-drunk. Unless your girlfriend is as patient as a rock, I do not suggest trying this. I got into trouble with my ex more than once because I always needed "space" and "time" to think things over after we fought. Obviously, she did not like the silence I was giving at all. No guys, you either do it fast, or not at all.
Well she seemed happy enough after chatting with me, so I went to sleep. Man, things like these just make relationships look bad.
Bottom line is, never break the trust that some one has for you, otherwise you are going to have a really, really hard time building it back up. Or maybe you will not even be given a chance to rebuild it back up?
The rest of the weekend was boring stuff like work, training, work, windsurfing, shopping and dinner with a friend. I guess I could do some reflection on those things too, but no no, I have to control myself otherwise I will never get any sleep at all.

Chanced upon a very cool poem. Makes me think about all the Buddhism and zen teachings once again, and how everything is impermanent and transient. I should not be so fixated on grades, or training. Enjoy more, man!
ElucidationWeaving through this chaos offered by fate,
realizing death has set this day as my date.
Torn away from this slowly rotting flesh,
one last glance, one last solitary caress.
Drifting above to the creation of birth,
clinging to the lines held down by earth.
How pitiful.

Not sure how true the attribution is, but hey, in the internet, everyone just quotes everyone else, right?
I have two mid-terms tomorrow. After that I can probably afford to relax a little. Except I am finding it hard to study as it is. I spent last night sending texts to my friend and ended up learning a lot about her past. I was not expecting what was revealed. Spent the afternoon sleeping. Mucked around in the evening. Man, this is terrible, I think I am enjoying too much. Wish me luck for tomorrow.
