bump on the road

dear readers, i have so much to tell but since the internet connection is crappy these days, i am having trouble just to upload my stories for you to read. my humble apologies.

11.27am.
minutes ago i was just ym-ing a dear friend of mine. we've known each other since we're 13. have stayed best friends ever since. its been a while since i've heard from her. the last time was last year, i think. she was happy - boyfie stuff, u know. but sad to say, she's now depressed. Rb, depressed? impossible. she used to be the one giving advices on "how to handle boys, relationship etc,". (with experience from reading novels, ahem.)

as the story goes, she stumble upon a comment on the boyfie's social network page. a girl adressed him with sayang and pet names. she's furious of course and demanded immediate explanation. and all the guy said was "its difficut for me to explain,". he then disappeared for two months. unable to reach him (text messages and phone calls), Rb is now depressed. i have tried my best to comfort her. offer her some advice and can only pray for the best. since we're far apart, there's a bit of difficulty in communication.

speaking from my own experience, if a guy ignores you for more than two weeks, STOP CALLING HIM. stop any form of contact just to see if he's wondering why have you stopped contacting him.

two, write down how you feel about him then and now, and list down his strength and weaknesses. (this maybe slightly challenging if you've only known him less than 6 months).

three, write down all your strength. strength only, girls. and add in your greatest achievement so far in life and how are you planning to move on to your next goal. compare your traits with his.

four, list down the reasons why you love him. this step is the most important. if you cant find more than 10 reasons why you love him. then you're better off without him. especially if he cheats on you.

finally, to complete your treatment for depression from being dumped, make an overall transformation.

.get a new haircut
.try the latest fashion
.go and have a girl's night out with your bffs
.get all the support you can from friends and family members

think of the things that you want to achieve but always being held back by something. make a move to achieve it now!

life is not just about finding your soulmate. there is much much much more to it.
