Words Not Pictures
Okay, since I'm waiting for a lot of stuff to load/update, I thought I'd might as well blog. Truth be told, I don't really like typing. Probably why I seldom speak here.
Met up with Ken yesterday. We had originally only planned to meet up just for him to pass me a CD, but in the end we ended up chilling till real late. Then at eleven-something his friend Jes joined us, and we went to KPO. The seat we had was pretty crap though, so we decided to migrate to acid bar, where we got another crap seat on high chairs next to the amps. We took lots of pictures, but I'm gonna push the responsibility of uploading them to the absurd Kenneth Tan. You can see the pictures here.
Met up with Jess today. We talked about a whole lot of things. We talked about people and relationships, about love and trust, about everything good in our lives and about how f*cked up we were.
Jess says that Aaron and I, we aren't the sort a girl would date. We're the sort a girl would marry. And then she said something about how she's probably the sort that guys would date but would never marry.
I've been thinking, there's a saying "nice guys finish last". I think I'd rather be last. From where I've been and what I've seen, I'd much rather be the nice guy. And from what I've said and done, many people would beg to differ: no, Nick is far from being a nice guy.
Me, I'm the sort of person people would either love, or hate. I'm eccentric, blunt, sometimes rude and always difficult to understand.
To me, being a nice person simply means looking out for the interests of others. To put others before self, in other words. I can probably speak for Aaron when I say that we would rather see someone happy than to be happy at the expense of others. It's like the last scene of the movie, "There's Something About Mary", where Ben Stiller's character Ted leaves Mary (Cameron Diaz) with her ex-boyfriend, thinking that that would make her happiest. We think we're doing what's right, or what's best. Now we're just hoping for people who'd be happiest hanging around us.
And I think that I'm happiest when I'm spending time with people I really care about. Old friends like Aaron or Jess. Aging, but still young, Like Kenneth, and all the people I've met only recently, in the army, or through friends, or whatever.
When Aaron and Jess leave for the academic year, I know I will be miserable. Jess says yeah, damn straight, she's gonna be miserable as well.
But till then, while we still have our friends, let us be happy.
