Turning it around.

Today turned to be a pretty good day. I was all sorts of stressed because of academics + org work all thrown in. And the weather did not help at all! It was so humid. I was so sticky. :| It made me want to cut my hair short but I can't be tempted! I have to grow it long! I have to!

So anyway. I was on the way home after my Philosophy class (which by the way, the prof asked me if I believed that there was a God and why. I said yes. I was kind of unsure about my reason why but what I told him was that I believe that there is a God since it would be highly unsettling to know that there is no divine being to yearn for. I mean, we have a lot of questions that we continuously ask. It is in the human nature to be curious--to yearn for what cannot be known. If there is no being that we cannot fully know, and we were actually capable of knowing everything and anything, it seems that we will have no purpose whatsoever. We already know everything. What else is there left for us in that case? I don't know if that made sense, but it did in my head. Haha. There is no one answer to the question of God's existence but I'd really love to believe that God exists. But I digress!).

Yeah, so anyway, going back, I was on my way home after class and I suddenly remembered that I needed to check this book in the library. So I turned around and went the opposite direction to go to the library. But before I could reach the library, someone waved at me and came up to me. It was a good friend of mine who I met during my summer stint in Globe. He came up and we started talking. We caught up with each other--you know, updates about our lives etcetera. It was fun because I missed those talks we used to have during the internship. He's nice to talk to! And then he was saying something about beating up the guy who broke my heart or if I wanted, he could pose as my guy and he will showcase his abs and all. :)) I found that so funny but it was so sweet that he was ready to back me up.

You know, I really find it a sweet gesture when guys got the backs of their girl friends. (Yes, with the space in between.) That's what makes guy friends so fun to hang out with--they can be funny, they can be sweet, they can be caring but yes, they can be jerks too. But most of the time, they're so fun to be with! (Except when you start seeing them in a different light and they don't. That's just a storm brewing.) But yeah. Having guy friends are worth it. I love that I know I have guy friends that can defend me when jerks mess around with me. It's a settling feeling, you know? It makes me happy, knowing that I have 'big brothers' that treat me like I'm supposed to be protected from asshole guys. Haha. Well, not all of my guy friends are like that, but I'm glad to know some have my back. :)

Yet another random post from me! Haha. I just really appreciate what he said about wanting to defend me. I mean, I know it's a joke that he'd beat the guy up, but the thought counts--a lot. My appreciation for having guy friends rose today! Girl friends are the best since you can share anything, but guy friends are a completely different animal. They can't be compared so it's great if you have both in your life. You'd be lucky then. <3

Guy friends. Keep them. They're worth having in your life.

To end, here's an excerpt from a blog entry:

Boys don’t always have to be boyfriends to be special. Some of them get elevated to the high-level friend zone. They’re crucial. A guy friend will pull you through rough stretches of not understanding things or guys you kiss. And no, you don’t have to kiss them all. Unless you want to, of course. (ok, maybe not all). [...] A little less and then a lot more than a lover, definitely beyond a fling, a little different from a girl friend, free-er than a brother. Ah, the romance of a platonic guy-girl friendship. Nothing like it.
