Touched

I'm honestly tremendously touched by the "get-well-soon"s that they sent to me. Eventhough I'm only down with a fever, not some serious exotic disease. It's heart warming to hear how your friend in US knew that you were sick eventhough you didnt tell her. It's tear seeping to hear your friends leaving for Seattle, texting you from the airport not to care about not being able to send them and be more concerned about my health. It's smile evoking when a friend dropped by just to give you some medicine so that you'll be able to get well soon.

Thank you guys.

You are my gem people. The ones that are precious, beautiful and rare in my life.

At times like this, this realization brought another self realization, an opportunity for a wider perspective and positive vibes.

Thank you :)

Airport seemed a bit gloomy these days, as the only reason I went there were to send friends off. But it was exhilirating when I went to the first floor of the international terminal, the arrival floor to pick up my big brother from Amsterdam. Havent seen him in 6 months or so, he seemed again so tall and skinnier this time.

I stood there for half an hour, watching silhouttes walk passed that turned out to be stranger's instead of my brother's. As my feet complained and my stomach screamed, he came out. He smiled and commented "you look skinnier than ever".

Yeah, tell me about it. I never weight this heavy before. Maybe it's the jet lag coming on to you.

But later as he insisted to pay for my lunch, and bought himself a cup of vanilla sundae, I realized that my big brother's home.
