Hi Bloggie... haven't been writing in a long time. Well, not that dedicated after twitter, facebook and instagram came along. still, it had been nearly 10 years since blogging started and i do visit time to time, drop a post or two, but mainly, to read about any teenage misdemeanor I might used to have or cherished memories that needs no ignitation.
anyway, recently since i last blogged, i had quite an adventure. June 2013, was by far the most "happening month" i have experienced thus far.
along the way, i got a new shiny camera, friends from different parts of the world and experience a country that i never thot i would have. it had been near to 2 months now since the wondrous experience and i missed it so much. I am thankful for all the facebook and instagram that we have to keep us in touch; for my friends of a 4 days 3 night event is hopefully friends i get to keep in touch for the rest of my life.
but no one can keep friends for life if the other party is not willing? it says it takes two hands to clap. most of the time, people detest from being the first hand to reach out. simply for the sake of being afraid the same is not reciprocate. however, i always feel being the 2nd one to respond is the one in a more stressful situation.
while being the first hand to reach out requires courage, the 2nd hand responding entails responsibility. For any non-motion, the first hand can "presume" the 2nd hand is not interested. Any half hearted motion by the 2nd hand, more often than not, leads to the same conclusion of the former. especially, if there is repeated demand of action from the first hand, and the lack of response of the 2nd, tends to lead to deterioration of a friendship. but it is also said, true friends require no words, no action, just faith. so what encompass being a true friend?
anyway, just some sudden thots provoking moments i get from watching drama! My latest drama fix was centered against Sherlock Holmes and his strange but wonderful friendship with Dr. Watson. Be it the Sherlock from UK (BBC) or Elementary from US (loosely adapted), it is not just the deduction that kept me glued, but also the friendship that sparks between the 2 main character and definitely the unwavering support and understanding between them. Which in reality, is something that we all crave.
So, are you gonna be the first hand or the 2nd?

PS: what happens when both hands stop clapping?
