the power of love
i met w/an old friend of mine yesterday.
we've known each other for quite a while, and used to hang out as a group of friends. our relationship has never been really close, but we still keep in touch w/each other, chat online every now and then, and go out for a drink whenever there's a chance.
he has always been a very straightforward guy. sensible, logical, objective would be my impression from him. a little bad tempered i would have said if it's a couple of years ago.
i remember once, he and his brother got in a this big fight with some other pple. it was a HUGE argument that almost ended up in a fist fight. me and my friends wanted to make them feel better, but we all knew that they are very bad tempered, if you get close when they are not in a good mood, you may get scolded like crap. so in the end, we didn't do anythin, we just stepped back and waited for their heat to come down, they'll come talk to us when they feel better.
so that was our lesson ever since: he's bad tempered and when he's in a bad mood, don't talk to him unless he takes the initiative.
but yesterday some funny thing happened, and i'll remember the event for the rest of my life.
my friend called to hang out in tamsui coz it has places to look around and eat during nights and weekends, and coz he was bored in his dorm and his gf was out of town. so we've decided to meet round 7pm to go out for a walk, get some drinks with some typical friend to friend chit-chat and stuff.
the first thing he said when we met, he told me that he told his gf that he was goin to meet me sometime. he said that he told his gf about me, not in detail, but explaining that i was an old friend from argentina, and we had to meet up for a drink and to catch up w/the old times.
i was happy in a way that he explained to his gf. i think honesty is one of the main keys that makes a relationship last for long time, i value honesty the most. he then also told me that his gf can be a jealous person, so yeah, explainin everythin is the best idea. i guess eventhough i'm an old distant friend, i'm still a "female" friend.
so we talked for a while and walked along the street when we saw this snoopy store and went inside almost immediately coz his gf loves snoopy. we looked back and forth in the store searchin for a gift for the gf as a 'souvenir'. the problem was that every thing i picked, he had already bought it for her, yet he insisted on the search and walked around the store like 5 times coz "since i'm already here, i have to get her somethin", that's what he said.
how sweet of him, i thought, he must really like his gf.
unfortunately, we could not get her anything at the time, coz really, she has it all!! but he remembered the store for future shopping references.
we later found a place to sit and continued chattin when his phone rang, it was his gf. i kept silent while he talked on the phone and heard him say in a very soft and tender voice "i'll go back soon... yeah... i'll go back soon... i'll go back soon..."
i could not stand it anymore so i made him say instead:
"i'll go back NOW... yes lah... i'll go back now ok? give you a call when i get home". click, he turned off the phone.
PUAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
i could not stop laughin after that!!! oh my gosh... my so feared friend whispering like that on the phone?! that was really somethin!!!!
even my friend himself felt embarrased goin through that in front of me.
he sighed and realized how jealous his gf was. he re-acted the conversation and it was somethin like:
"...where are you now?"
"in tamsui, w/my friend that i mentioned before"
"now? but it's late! go home now lah~!!!" (...it was just around 10pm)
"ok lah, i'll go back soon, i'll go back soon..."
kekekekeke, FINALLY saw somethin that i can use to blackmail my friend in the future!
he then asked me if i would act like that given the case, i said no right away, coz i understand that although in a relationship, each person still have their own group of friends that their partner may or may not know, and i also believe in friendship between men and women. i won't stop or question my bf if he has to go meet a female friend, similarly, i would expect the same thing from him. you should trust the person you luv, rite?
"you think like a guy", that was the luvly response from my so-sweet friend, "no wonder you're still single, maybe you should not look for a guy, but for a grl instead".
ware... @#$^%$^%#
wateva, i have something to blackmail him.
it's amazin how luv can change a person like that. in front of us, he's so loud, so direct, so... macho. but in front of his gf, he changed 180 degrees. he said that he will talk to his gf about this, will try to find a balance out of it. but after the incident, somehow i think that he'll do what his gf asks him to do. hehehe. coz...
it's the power of luv mah!
