True Geisha

      It was raining real hard and the wind was blowing fierce fully. I was busy minding my business when suddenly this lovely girl popped into my mind. I immediately texted her and asked how her day was. Well, I just thought it would be an ordinary exchange of text messages but I was totally off beam. We ended up chatting and trading opinions on certain things regarding our respective lives.

          Everything seems smooth sailing when she abruptly asked me if it’s ok to rant about something. I said yes of course! She then started revealing her sentiments and disappointments on what use to be her “complicated” life. I tolerantly listened to her grievances and promised not to interrupt because if I did she might not express fully what she really felt.

           It was just a chat all right, a message accompanied by letters and punctuations, but honestly I felt it. I felt the sincerity and the honesty of trying to finally reach out for help. Finally! She was so stressed and worn out. By the tone of her message I know she’s throbbing and lost at some point in her life.

          Honestly, I was stunned upon hearing this strong willed and independent individual sharing her emotion for the very first time. She’s not the type who would confide or even open up especially if emotion is at stake; but today it was different, a new experience for me. Probably she really was in the brink of breaking down so I gave her my advice. She patiently listened and it felt good. I was able to enlighten her somehow (I just hope so!) and was able to give another soul a chance to regain her divinity.

          Important things learned for today: Go with the flow. Preserve your sanity to survive. Beer and pizza are perfect drinking buddies. Koko crunch goes well with milk and that it takes only two hours before we become hungry again. Never quit smoking for others. Blogging is a way of life so blog ‘til you drop! Mingy hates bathing. Lastly, a guy owning an underwear shop and lingerie collection is a fresh concept in the business arena.
