I went for service on Sunday and my pastor was preaching about unconditional love. Can one in this practical world loves without condition? Can we still love someone in spite of the wrongs that he/she might have done to you? I wish I could say I can. But I guess I am not that magnanimous. But at least I'm trying to let go of the grudges that I've held on to over the years. This is my first step to love without condition.oops! Digression.. I AM GETTING AN IPOD NANO! Thanks to Boyfriend who has kindly sold his brand new green ipod mini so as to finance my purchase. In return to his kind act, I am giving him my 3 months 12 days old ipod mini. :) Girls, I do love my birthday present. But I just couldn't resist it! Don't worry, Boyfriend has promised to take good care of it. You girls do trust him right? Look at how well I'm taken care of. I can't wait to lay my hands on the ipod nano. It's gorgeous. :)
This is his act of unconditional love for me. And I know you girls love me too much to blame me for giving away my birthday present. Another act of unconditional love. :)
Sometimes I think that it's not that you are misunderstood. We do understand. We really do. It's just that as an outsider, being not emotionally involved in the matter, we tend to see things in a macroscopic view. Everything is just too ambiguous. Give him the benefit of doubt. Perhaps things are not as bad as it seems. Even if our suspicion turns out to be true. He's not going to be all that affected by the things said and done. It will just put a strain to our friendship and ultimately it is our girls that would be affected. I'm not trying to ask you to change your thoughts about this matter. Take time to think carefully about it from different perspectives and things may just turn out better. :)
Liyi, are you feeling much better? I hope the two of you are settling down and feeling less home sick. I guess it's worth all that you are going through now for this experience. At least the two of you have each other. Take good care!
And for the charm bracelet, Dot can send it to me. I will send you my address through email since Wanqing says it is not safe to post it on the blog.
I miss all the Goneways! I love all you girls loads! We shall all be happy flowers. :)
