About Enemies, Being Beautiful And The Friendless
Just finished watching America's Next Top Model. One comment from one of the contestant stayed with me. Because of internal compeition (me being diplomatic), she commented "I'm gonna keep my enemies close". I am reminded of the saying
"Keep your friends close. Keep your enemies closer."
I was contemplating on a move that may sound silly to anyone. But this saying seemed to put some meaning to it. But then again... Is that an enemy that I am trying to get at?

Was doing some searching for some stock images at work today. It dawned on me that the more we look at beautiful things, the more beautiful we become.
Yeah, I know, many of you out there knew it already. What to do, I am a late bloomer... I felt this living out in my life, right at this moment. Being in the creative line, doing all the coordinating work, and now that I am off the "designer" label, I have more time and more eyes to look at beautiful things. And this has, therefore, given me time to learn and adapt them on myself.
But we must adapt beautiful things on ourselves. We don't become anything if we just look. Some work must be done.

Been feeling really friendless lately. Last month, because I want to talk late into the night, I kept telling my friends that I am tired and I won't hang out with them. And now that I am sans the calls, where are my friends, I wonder.
There has been a whole less genuine emails and sms that I am getting. I get alot of forwarded sms-es.
On one hand, I am thankful that I can use this period to do my translation homework. I need alot of time to do these things...
On the other hand... I wonder... am I abandoned by my "friends"? Gosh this season has come earlier than last year.
More of this will come as I paced into my late 30s.
