F1!
I feel a wordy post coming up but I guess I'll edit with pictures once I have this hell week over and done with.
So on Thursday morning I was asked whether did I want to go for the F1 race and I was like, yeah sure, why not? Since I haven't been to one before and well, just for the experience! So on Friday I was presented my passes and I asked HK whether would he like to go but he wasn't really sure of his schedule so I had to ask my next best option, which was my best friend Ivana.
I'm sure glad I did. Just seeing her laugh and smile and just enjoying the cars like her old man made me feel like I was doing something right in my life. Throughout our what, 7 years of friendship, Ivana's been giving and giving and giving without asking for anything in return. Not only to me but to the people in our social circle as well. She remembers the little details of what people like, and don't like, a person's preferences, even down to what matches a person's personality. It really is quite insane how she manages to do it and I'm sure the few of you reading this would agree wholeheartedly to it as well.
While growing up, even if Ivana and I didn't talk for a few months (because probably I was too busy with my love life, my school and such) and the only times I talked to her would be to cry and whine, she'd still pick up the phone to entertain me, the listening part would've been good enough for me but sometimes she would buy small gifts to cheer me up. And I sort of noticed she does that for my other friends as well. Sometimes, we don't even need to tell her when we're feeling down. Her sixth sense is way beyond powerful. There was this period of time when I just felt like I was in a dark place, feeling so down and I really couldn't open up to anyone. She just called me out to have some pastries with her out of random and when she asked me how's everything she already knew what was coming and I just poured everything out.
Where got such saints still living one???
So back to the point, we just spent our evening enjoying cars and loud engines. I think the real highlight of our day was watching the Ferraris have a go and we were both screaming like little girls cause it just does that to us. Made me realize how dude-ified I am cause I didn't even get goosebumps watching Maroon 5 live whereas my peers from secondary school started queuing from 2 pm just to stand close to the stage.
When we got home she dropped me a text thanking me for giving her such a great opportunity (like how I felt grateful for even obtaining the passes in the first place) and I just went "Don't thank me please, it's the least I could do for you after all you've done for me throughout all these years of our friendship.". And what she said next made me tear a little, "No la! You deserved every bit of it. If you didn't I wouldn't have bothered.'.
I must have done a lot of charity work in my past life to deserve such great friendships la. Given how foul mouthed, bitchy, obnoxious and annoying I am now.
Super great day ah yesterday, just the best friend and I chilling out and catching up with a whole lot of revving engines and such.

Just happened to read that today and really reflect upon it. I am a girl after all, I let my emotions overwhelm me, I like reading and writing sappy stuff, as much as I hate to show how soft I am in real life, here, my marshmallow insides just spew out rainbows and glitter when I journal.
It's quite sucky how I'm feeling a lot of emotions recently, and after a long time, I think I've managed to feel what is sadness.
I mean, it was so much easier being angry and disappointed, just rant, swear, punch a wall and I'm done. I've felt bouts of sadness but it mostly regarded superficial things, oh like sad I didn't manage to buy that cute dress which was the last piece etc etc. But I can't recall to a point where my heart just ached and I wanted to cry uncontrollably into a pillow.
I hated that feeling. It made me feel so weak and vulnerable. I simply would not allow myself to go through that anymore.
