For One More Day
Finally this book "For One More Day" by Mitch Albom came out in paperback. I'm still in the midst of reading it but I'm not really hooked on the storyline. I felt that his previous book was better. Anyway, the book left me with some thoughts about life...
Who are the people deserving of you to be cherished in your life?
Are there also people undeserving of that?
I had dinner with my close friends a few days ago and JX said something about me. I was already sick but I don't know why I still went out for dinner with them. Probably it was because we've been friends for more than a decade and I always never want to miss out any gathering with them.
Ok, it has been a few days and I don't recall what exactly she said in the car. But I remember it's something about me valuing friendship and I used to be someone who cares a lot for anyone in my life. She don't know what caused the change in me and I became someone who just oblivious of people's feelings - people who are on close terms with me.
I always believe that one can't see the change in themselves. It's the people around them who notices the change. So if you ask me have I changed, I can't answer. I can only find the answer from people around me - people who have been around me long enough can answer this question.
Of course, how does this supposedly change in me going to affect my life? It's another question I don't have the answer to.
Even Edric felt I'm not the person he used to know since college.
When and what caused the change in me? Asked me if I remember what kind of person I was before the change, I can't remember. Somehow, I think I completely blocked out past memories of my old myself.
Should I continue being in this state or should I start to find old myself back.

Hi, I noticed you linked to my blog. It' s nice to know I'm not the only person who reads Mitch Albom's work, although in truth, I've only read 'Tuesdays with Morrie'.
I just have one nagging question: Do I know you?
Actually, we don't know each other. It's just that you linked my xanga blog to your old xanga blog.
I linked to you blog? okay. That's a relief. For awhile I thought you were that psycho-axe wielding-maniac-stalker government agent that hunts down quixotic bloggers. =p
Hope to see your comments on my blog sometime soon =D
