As I sit at home, getting over my fatigued body and mind, I can't help but surf through all the new posted photos of friends and aquaintances through facebook. Most of the people on facebook that I am 'friends' with are people that are not close in my life right now. They might have been once.
Two weeks ago, through facebook, I got back in touch with one of my closer friends from highschool. Her name is Priyanka. We decided to meet up in ny with another highschool friend and catch up. Walking to the cafe, I was a little curious of how our meet would go. Afterall, I haven't seen her in EIGHT years and I was sure we'd be super different! But when I got there, everything fell into place as if we've never left highschool. The dynamic was natural and not fake or awkward at all. I was really really happy to see her and hear what she's been up to since highschool. As for Sunita, I've seen her a couple times in ny already, so that's just like meeting up w/ an old friend as well. They're not particularly close to me now, but there's this special bond between us. It's weird, and I don't think it's something you can find with your newer friends that you've made after college. I think it's the fact that we've seen each other grow since middleschool, or something. Anyway, as we immerse ourselves in gossip with the status of everyone we know of highschool people, my jaw drops a little lower everytime they say, "oh yea, she's married, they're enageged." I know I wrote about this before, BUT i'm still as shocked. They're not part of THEM though (notice how i'm being prejudice.) Anyway, at the end, they've concluded that we're pretty much the same.
I wanted to disagree out loud and protest and show them how i'm not as I was back then...but i was too lazy to get all worked up. My close friends know how I've change and that's all that matters. In a way, I do want them to know that I'm not that naive, sweet, stupid little girl knowing only of parties, houston, clothes, and puppy love, but it's too much work to explain to people who aren't part of my life everyday. And if anything, the important ones already know.

Moving on...
I've been stressed a lot bc of my work and my love life, both of which are not making me as healthy and balanced as I should be. I've done the Master Cleanse last month, joined a new yoga program, and tried to eat as healthy as possible, but it's still not enough. As I was killing time near Chinatown after my facial, I decided to walk around those Chinese herbal stores to see if there's a resident doctor in one of them. And after 30 minutes of wandering and asking random people, I FOUND ONE! I decided to wait in line and just see what they can do for me and have him listen to my pulse and all that. The diagnosis? He says that I'm clean as ever...it's not about the cleanse anymore. All the stress has been built up in my head and basically, I have major major anxiety. I have never really thought of myself as a worrisome person, but apparently I am in the fields of work and love. Everything else, i'm free as a bird. So...he gave me an herbal prescription that deals with anxiety. It's suppose to calm my mind and make me super relaxed...A FEEL GOOD MEDICINE. Sounds like super drug!
Since I don't know how to cook those herbs, they cooked me 3 days worth. I have to drink 2 packets a day. After 3 days, if I feel better, I can come back to get more.
I took my first packet this morning after skipping out on work. So far, so good. I'll let you guys know if it really works. The medicine tastes like crap btw, so IT BETTER WORK!
now for some more pics.
