About A Friend And Another Friend

Friendship is a foundation, not a hindrance.

He sees you every weekend, when the house lights go down and the lasers start to ignite. He knows everything that goes into your system, and how much of it your body can take. He knows how it affects you and how you want it to affect you. He's seen your eyes, felt your sweat, heard you sing when you reach that moment of oblivion. He's seen you in your happiest state of self-destruction. Still, he never counted you any less of a person.

He knows your relationship drama. He knows your frustrations as a lover and your frustrations as a beloved. He knows what your lover could do to make you happier. He knows how much happier you could be, if only. He knows the games that you play and whom you play them with. Still, he never judged you.

He knows you inside out.

He knows which part of Love For Siam makes you blush.

He knows that you don't like Miss Saigon.

He knows how that guy from his past has hurt you, because that guy was also from his past.

He's your type and you are his.

You have the same guardian who loves you both equally because you are the same in so many ways; and yet, very different in ways that are complimentary.

He --- the guy in the current situation --- should be the only hindrance. Not friendship.

I Have A Confession To Make

He was here. For a few hours. It was unplanned, but he was here. He says hi to all.

He visited his favorite place of our apartment.
And invaded it.
He still knew where to find everything he needed.

With his oh-so-lovable hubby, Nigel

Jeth came over to bond with us.
Mamu was cordial enough to open the gate for them
when they arrived while I was at Jeth's.

I have dreamed that your arms are lovely,

I have dreamed what a joy you'll be.

I have dreamed every word you whisper.

When you're close,

Close to me.

How you look in the glow of evening

I have dreamed and enjoyed the view.

In these dreams I've loved you so

That by now I think I know

What it's like to be loved by you,I will love being loved by you.

Alone and awake I've looked at the stars,

The same that smile on you;

And time and again I've thought all the things

That you were thinking too.

I have dreamed that your arms are lovely,

I have dreamed what a joy you'll be.

I have dreamed every word you whisper.

When you're close, Close to me.

How you look in the glow of evening

I have dreamed and enjoyed the view.

In these dreams I've loved you so

That by now I think I know.

What it's like to be loved by you.

I will love being loved by you.

--I Have Dreamed,

The King & I Soundtrack

I Lied.

Yes, I did. I lied.

And although it is painful to admit it, I will admit it dauntlessly, because you are a friend of mine and you've been nothing but good to me. You deserve the truth. The truth I will give you. Here. Now.

And the truth is -- No. I haven't stopped drinking. Neither have I quit smoking. I haven't and I have no plans of doing so in the near future.

I just switched to a different brand of moisturizer. That's all.

Kiehl's Ultra Facial Tinted Moisturizer
I've given up on L'oreal for Men. They just don't work for me.

And ok, I admit there are two more products that I'm using now. But I'm not ready to divulge them just yet. Don't worry, I will someday.
