It's this time of the year when I would often ask myself what I'd want for Christmas. Of course, I'll be honest to say that a LOT of things pop into my mind - material things, that is. Let me see, there are shoes, bags, a brand-new notebook, spanking new set of prime lens for my cam, trips across Asia... and the list goes on and on. But now that I [seriously] think about it, there's just one thing I'd like to receive this year. Actually, ‘happen’ might be a more apt word for it. Call it cheesy and a bit of a hopeless romantic, but I just want my music man to play a song on his guitar for me. There. I've said it; now laugh at my cheesy-ness all you want. Quite frankly, I can't help but laugh a little at myself. LOL! :)
But seriously, I know that the friendship we were able to establish was more of a blessing disguised underneath what seemed to be pure chance. He and his faith in God have been helping me see things around me in a more positive light. And yes, for some reason music seemed to have become our bridge to get to the kind of friendship we have now. But truth be told, we did have our, err, shall I say "awkward moments"? Haha! Maybe because on the outside we're quite a contrast - he's shy and quiet while I'm a bit of an extrovert; he's dressed up in a way that many would call "lousy" and a bit "geeky", while I go for happy colors and prints. But after spending one breakfast together, I realized that he's got a LOT of sensible stuff to share, and that we have a lot more things in common than I ever thought. In short, we clicked! :)
So there. That's as much history which I'm gonna share. Now I'm just so thankful that we're good friends - my occasional lunch-slash-breakfast buddy, a friend, a music lover. My music man. And if ever there's a quota in heaven as to how much of a good thing you could wish for, I'd say that to have him play on his beloved guitar for me would be just a most generous bonus, because having him in my life as a friend is a blessing itself from God.
