23 Feb 09 | Money is ruining friendship
We are careless in choosing friend.
A friend that has been together for longer than you thought.
They stepped on us.
They make fooled of us.
They pretend to be nice with us.
dear diary, i was asleep when i heard my phone ringing. i picked up the phone - it was love on the other line. i went wide awake upon hearing his sweet voice. he asked me am i sleeping but i lied to him that i'm not. i knew there's something he wants to talk about. i asked him straight, "why? what happen?" . at first, he said nothing. but i know he was plain lying. i asked him again, why? what's wrong? waiting for him to speak up really urge to me shout at him. within a minute, he told me - someone texted him asking for it's money back; in a rude manner that is. with all the 'eh' at the end of each sentence, he called up his bestfriend and told him what is wrong with that someone. he speak back to them owning his right for almost half an hour. love knew that both of them are on the line, conferencing, but that someone just keeping quiet hearing the twos conversation. he doesn't mind at all. he is more reluctant to let that someone hear from the bottom of his voice. so, i was on the other line thinking, is it real? i couldn't believe myself either that people like them do exist. back to reality, it's true. i've always heard dad telling his children, "people who are dying for money, will do anything for it. even if it takes to lose a friendship." i passed the advice on him. telling him, not to be too harsh on this people cause i know, one day karma will hit them back.

come to think of it now, the solution is actually simple: - we just have to pay back the amount of money that we owe to someone and thanked them for helping us; WHEN we receive our pay, which is at the end of the month (this is not even the end of the month to start with!)
end of story.
but what concern me the most when love told me he was just dissapointed that they certainly forget how much he sacrifice to help them; be it relationship or financial problem.
for goodness, they're once (not anymore now, i guess) a best friend. how cruel your friend treat you lies on how truthful your friendship with them are. i hate it when it comes to money issue, friendship got affected.
we don't need comments re this. we just need time for ourselves. maybe we're too forgiven. we're too soft with you people. but just remember, who was the one who forked out money for the chalet (yet, you promise to pay halves of it but you did not). who was the one who help your mom buying groceries. who was the one who you need help in renting a car. who was the one when you got problems with your girlfriend and u need someone to talk to. who was the one who covers your ass when your girlfriend called us asking your whereabout.
Human tend to forgets good deeds from people. They prefer to remember the bad ones instead.
We don't need you people to live our life. We have each other to begin with. This shows how much you treasure your friendship with us. This also shows how FAKE you guys are with us.
p/s/ beauboi and i gonna hit the beach after work. The plan was to release our mind. Too much things in our mind right now. this issue is such a minor one. there's lots of major issue that need to think of apart from this piece of cake. And if one day, they realise that they actually lose someone important, they will ask for forgiveness. Be it sooner or later, they will. Believe me. They will come back to you, baby.
