Rantings again

I was walking down the citilink with a friend few yrs ago accompanying him to buy a gift. He asked me whats the most expensive gift i have ever spent on my friends. Frankly speaking, I couldnt recall anything outstanding. In the end, i told him that the most expensive gift I can give my friends is my time - its priceless...

There s this analogy abt friendship, but a rather pessimistic one. It says that friends are like our shadows. When our days are bright and sunny, friends stick with us just like shadows, following whenever we go. But in our gloomy and darken days, they are gone. Yeah, friends are sometimes like shadows...

But pls do not get me wrong. I am not relating to anyone or any particular incident. It jus struck me to write the above this morning. Having worked in HP for the 4th week, i m glad to have gotten to know many new friends. Sometimes, I was really tempted to talk behind ppl's back, but there s always the guilt and karma stopping me to a great extent. I know I didn keep my 4th precept well, but i will try very hard to.

**** deleted ******

I actually wrote some stuffs above, but decided to delete it off. Its really such an irony, tat sometimes i feel like writing and pouring out my hearts, and yet i didnt want ppl to read (for fear they judge, comment and think otherwise?). Anyway, the whole idea of my blog is to pour out and express my capsuled feelings.... i guess by writing it out and then deleting them away has already served the purpose.
