When words hurt more than heartbreaks....

February... a month that came and has not ended, I was so excited at first but slowly the excitement became something else. Everything I was looking forward to was taking place in February but alas, I realized things were not going as smoothly as I hoped!

Things that come for free are never really free, just like the tickets to Japan that I got for my mum and I to travel to Hokkaido in June, we can never be certain if we can leave here on time for Japan, just getting the tickets from Tokyo to Sapporo is causing my head to spin! Well, it actually boils down to one thing - money. If you are willing to pay, all troubles seems to disappear into thin air... *sigh* the luxury of being rich... Well, with the exception of my bro and sis-in-law who had a great mileage plan that gave them two pair of free tickets to Japan! Oh man, wished I knew that sooner! But still, thanks for the information, sis!

Weddings... such happy affairs! But such detailed-oriented events and mind-blowing schedules, I am attending 2 in a day but I have the honor of being a bridesmaid, loads of fun and the comes the jittery section at dinner where I have to dance in with the rest of the wedding crew and later, make a speech. But before that, I had such a stressful moment... just that particular moment... actually... moments... deciding when to leave the wedding, then later, which wedding to go first, oh boy, aren't I glad when it was finally decided and both parties were happy, it was more important to me that the parties were happy with the arrangements since it is their big day and I do care about their feelings.

But there was one point when I was being called a hypocrite... for being a bridesmaid, for choosing to stay by my friend's side, for wanting to stay longer at a friend's wedding...

When the words were spoken out, I managed to contain my sadness and anger for being called such a name, a good friend no lesser. His emotional build-up seems to have spilled on me,  I can forgive, but can I forget how hurt I was by his words. Not once, not twice, and more so, in front the rest of our friends...

Life can be such a bitch...
