Boxing Day

Met Diane today for a little breather after the long Xmas weekend... I really think we are growing old... We just don't have tt kind of stamina anymore for shopping like we used to in TP... After the purchase of 2 pairs of shorts from Fox, we were ready to call it a day, hang up our shopping bags and just sit down for a cuppa...

Can u imagine? We had just had a small meal at Mos Burger and Fox is practically next door... Apparently, we only had enough energy to walk tt few steps there and try on a couple of shorts and making payment before we were ready to find a chair to rest our butts... Haha!! What happened to those days when we could shop for hours in high heels and maybe even go clubbing after tt??? Disappointed in myself, really...

Today, a new adjective was used by Diane to describe me... Free-spirited...

What is exactly "free-spirited"...? The first thing tt came to mind was Native Indians, and then followed in a split second by Pocahontas... Tt word conjured an image of the wild plains, hills and rivers, very Pocahontas kind really... Haha!!

Well, I guess if to be "free-spirited" means being carefree and bounded by no restrictions, I sure hope I can live up to tt... Afterall, tt was what I had always envisioned my life to be... To do whatever I wanted and to have a lifestyle tt I could call uniquely mine... To be bounded by no one and to heed only my voice... To listen only to my heart and do everything to make myself happy...

Nothing matters more than to be happy right?? I mean, why live life if it will only be filled with dull and insignificant moments... And we only have one life to live... Shouldn't we do everything tt we want to do before time and age denies us of those opportunities and the energy to try new adventures??

It was a rather quiet yet meaningful Boxing Day... Just 2 old girlfriends exchanging little anecdotes about what we have been up to and to share what we really feel about each other's experiences and choices in life... Sometimes I feel tt Diane voices out all the practicalities tt I need to hear to keep me grounded... Emotions and might pull some clouds over my eyes but her voice has the clarity needed to get me to see things for what they are... She puts some perspective back into my life i guess...

What would I do w/o her, I wonder... It is really strange how I, a person who doesn't like to take instructions and likes to have control over her own life, will actually pay attention to what her bestie has to say about every little detail in my life from family ties to boyfriend troubles... And of course, we exchange information on other aspects of life tt no one, and I do mean NO ONE will ever hear us disclose...

I am glad tt I found you bestie, coz the promise we made 3 years ago, to never judge and never blab, still stands strong... I even feel tt sometimes, we take pleasure in knowing tt the other is leading a life of sin... *winkz*

We share each other's adventures and boy, do we lead parallel lives... Something happens to one, the other is bound to experience it sonner or later... And we are like each other's prophets... What we "predict" about each other usually comes true in a short period of time... It's scary...

Dear girlfriend, U are the best Xmas present... Love u to bits and please not let our next meeting be 6 months later again... Haha!! And thanks for the necklace... Will hit the clubs and dazzle the boys with some bohemian flower power on the dancefloor... Muackz!! =)
