Evolution (Part 1)

A few stories from the last 2 nights. Quite eventful.

************************************

2 birthday parties. One was Rizal's and the other one was Loving Girl's.

They were both great parties, but in different ways. One was a surprise party which went really well. (Ms. Vavavoom, you did great! :))

The other, a birthday dinner that's becoming an annual tradition for a group of people, who only seem to meet at this event, once a year. It was a nice dinner at SevenAteNine at the Ascott. The small group was warm and cosy.

Mostly were made up of the same faces - and some, were new additions, by virtue of being the current boyfriend or new husbands of some of the girls. But it's a great tradition that should be continued.

But both the birthday kids - Rizal and Loving Girl - had one thing in common. They had someone new in their lives and they looked happier than they have in a long while.

As a friend that has observed and been there for their ups and downs, it was great for me to see both of them, being really happy. And with partners of outstanding quality too, if I might say so.

There's so much history that I've seen them through over the past few years, that I understand the significance of this moment. For them.

Happy Birthday again, to both of you. And thank you for sharing both your lives with me. I have been greatly emotionally enriched, by your presence in my life.

For all that you have taught me, for the moments when you guys were being encouraging and the moments when you just understood. And for all the good and interesting people and the vibrant colours that you've introduced into my life.


************************************************

There are other interesting stories to tell - but I've gotta run now. Will write Part 2, later. Meanwhile, enjoy the rest of your weekend, folks! :)

We should always save the better for later, yes? *wink*

Parties are always a good way to start off the weekend with. Lets you talk about potential business oppertunities and career expectations in a relaxed social atmosphere. Last party i went to was a friend's house warming in Tropicana, where i met old buddies who go back 15years at least. Best party in a long time.

Maybe. If we have a later, that is. But what about having the best for now? ;)

Yep.

If I think about the one thing that has improved greatly after I turned 30, a few years ago - it's the quality of friendships I have, with old friends and some great new ones.

The depth, the sharing, the memories we build up over time, the almost psychic level of communication where things are more said, by what is unspoken - these are the irreplaceable things in life.

I actually meant the way you keep the Evolution Part 2. hehe. But yeah, we might never have a 'later' in our lives, so might as well seize the moment..
