money?

I talked to one of my friend the other night. We introduced ourselves as the way it is. Half way of the conversation, she began talking about her successes in her works and stuff. The first time I saw her, one thing came up of my mind, this lady is PERFECT. I know that no body is perfect!!! At this point, I mean, to look at “the way world see”, she is considered PERFECT, she has money, she is pretty, her appearance…Nice, up to date man…J, she comes from “a well educated family, she graduated from overseas….if I were a man, perhaps, I will definitely fall in love with her. She is PRETTY. Back to the conversation, after talking with her, my friend told me that she is one of the guy’s favorite girl…what!!!!????oh well, guys….

Another friend of mine, I met her in a mall, she looked happy, it seemed for me she has all the happiness that people are looking for. Days went by, I surprised she called me at night, do you know, her voice sounds odd for me, she was crying on the phone; she asked for a help, I offered her a help as a friend. Since, we are far away, indeed, I couldn’t go back to my country and help her. So, I told her that now, I could only help her by phone, as a listener. She shared all her problems that she has been struggle in. Oh my gosh….i was like an innocent person. I couldn’t say a word from my mouth. I shutted my mouth off. Life is tough, it’s definitely short, what we sometimes think of others doesn’t always as it appears to be. Sometimes it’s totally the opposite. For instance, I have finished my reading by Malcolm Gladwell, The power of thinking without thinking, according to the research when the experts tested the pepsi and Cola, everybody in the trial room took a snap judgment that Cola must be good. Guess what??it’s absolutely wrong. Research has proved that Pepsi is up in public and marketplace than cola, as a matter of fact, the appearance of Pepsi by that time was not as nice as Cola, but people assumed that Cola must be the best because “the brand”.

Isn’t wonderful?yes it is…I’m glad after listening to my friend’s problem, struggle of life, the way the live, I think I thank to God, the way He created me. I know, I know that I’m not that perfect, not that pretty, not that rich, not very stupid J, not very guffy J, I don’t have everything that my friends have, :D however, I have a strong love to my family, and my best friends. I don’t think money is everything. I just thought that money is just a facility that given to us by God, to get what we need NOT what we want. Money is not a source of happiness. I admitted myself money is something sensitive to talk about, yet, it’s undeniable! Everybody needs money, don’t we? I’m grateful that in time, God taught me and let me walked through the tough of life, therefore, I could appreciate the Life. I’m glad God sent me among people who stand the opposite of me, therefore, He taught me unconsciously, even I don’t have those things, one that I can proud of, is I’m not depending on my parents, I’m not depending100% to money, I stand for what I have, and let the God works for the rest of it, I’m confident enough with what have given to me, no matter how much money. He taught me how to spend money wiselyJ. I’m grateful that God has placed me in a right spot. Well, honestly, it’s not a comfort zone, J I am human being too, if I want, I can definitely yell at God why He placed me in this spot. OF Course I can’t. But, the point is I’m in learning process. I decided to my parents for letting me go. I would like them to trust me; I know what I’m doing. I don’t want to depend on them anymore.

In the other day, my friend called me; she talked about relationship with a guy. Well, I had no comment. She went on and on….i was pretty good listener I think…J again, I concluded that I would rather not to have a relationship just because of money, and go to every club to find a right guy….oh well…everybody is different though…that’s just my understanding. By the way, I got an email from my friend, I let her know, that I’m going back next year…while, she is in her project to graduate. I let her I will keep going…J..hihihihi…..she tought that I’m insane…J…yes, I’m insane…hahhahaha…
