Did you ever wonder what happened to that one good friend you had 10 years ago? He or she was probably a bestfriend but back then, all you knew was that the two of you had a special connection. One in which you could rely on. One day, you're basking in the comfort and security of your friendship and then you find yourself looking back at those times, wondering, where have they all gone?

Friendships seem so fragile nowadays. And I still can't understand why.

Are we going to go throughout our own lives meeting people only to forget how much they matter to us? It seems like the world today doesn't have much respect for the things that are really important. After all, we're all keeping ourselves busy with our hobbies, the most recent box-office hit, the latest fashion trends, our significant other and whatnot. Sometimes we do forget how to connect with the people who have touched our lives. And I don't blame these people. After all, I myself, am guilty of these things. I don't seek to condemn or criticize people who forget people. I just think there's something terribly wrong with it.

There's nothing like the love for the game. I played 5 straight hours of basketball. Yes, you read it right. Five long hours of bumps, sweat and guts! (of course, it was all in good fun) Anj, A.J. and I started at around 6 PM and we finished at around 11:00 in the evening! It felt good to play that long just to take out all of the calories and fat that's been clinging on to my *ahem* abdomen. :) Man, that felt good!

There's no substitute for therapy than a good game. (which Anj and I incidentally won!) Can't wait to stretch these muscles again. Muscles? What muscles? :) Anyway, exercise has been very therapeutic for me indeed. In my opinion, more helpful than blogging although I won't object to that fact. :)

Come endorphins! Come to me!!!

For the first time in weeks, I've managed to sleep earlier than 3:00 AM.

It's so hard to get a good night's rest without the help of fatigue that comes from the office or even from moderate exercise. These past weeks have been such a blur to me I don't know where they went. Normally, I'd sleep at around 3-5 AM and I'd wake up at around 9:00 AM. It's very strange because I wouldn't be that tired in the morning but come afternoon, I tend to nap a few hours or so. Talk about sleep disorder.

But now, I've managed to sleep at 12:30 AM. Yes, for me that is already quite a feat. And to top it off, I slept until noon a few hours earlier. I should be up until the wee hours of the morning but I wasn't. I was actually...sleepy! It's difficult to understand how and why my body clock adjusted itself but I'm just glad I was able to sleep well last night. :) Ahhh yes, I can watch the NBA Playoffs without having to doze off during commercials. What bliss. Let's go Detroit!





Always look on the bright side of life...
