It's actually amazing how we never know what will happen in the future. The absence of knowing what the future will hold is a gift that we should be thanking of. By just living the present (and preparing for whatever lies ahead, ofcourse) gives you something in reward. It keeps you focus.. calm.. yet, also curious. I find this very challenging.
For some reasons, I don't believe in fortune telling. The way I see it, there's only one Man who knows everything (I suppose you already know who He is) And this kind of situation gives us the time to prepare ourselves for what the future will hold. That time of preparing also gives us the chance to learn more about ourselves & eventually gain something out of it ;)

Anyway, last Saturday, I was planning to go to two of my friends birthday parties. They weren't big, but I had the chance to relax & catch up with some (quite) "lost" friends. The night was actually windy and chilly. It was raining for some time. To make matter worse, I had been so sleepy since the time I had to get up for class!! Luckily, I had you (yes, you...) drove the car from the beginning (thank you so much!). We actually got ourselves (unpurposely) LOST on the way to the 2nd house.. It was nearly 1 hour before we finally found the exact location.
Getting lost was probably better than having to arrived at my friend's house (at least that's what I thought before finally leaving the place & went home). I suddenly felt "alone" in the crowd, yet.. my friends were joking around and laughing at what ever they could laught at. They seemed to have a really great time. And there I was... trying to cope up with the situation. Smiling... Laughing... Trying to chat with some friends, even joked a little. Felt so "not me".. yet, I continued doing what I had been doing.
At the end of the night... I came to realise that it wasn't a bad night after all. Let's see... I got the chance to sleep for a while in the car (while you were driving). I got to see my "lost" friends who I actually missed dearly. I got to catch up with their newest news. I also got to learn about the streets in Jakarta which I had never been before (Pamulang-red). And I got the chance to spend time and talk with you! ;)
Blue Star... Thank you for a wonderful night. It was fun and nice spending time with you :)
