more ups than downs..

It's been a good week. A good month. A good first half of the year even..
Definitely as the title suggests, more ups than downs. I take heart from it. =)
My budding relationship can no longer be considered budding.
There's been a few speedbumps but I see wide open roads ahead.

So onwards we go to the never-ending horizon..

*end ramble*

What is the measure..

of love?

Is it not getting condescending after being proven right over and over?
Is it keeping quiet even though you want to scream I told you so?
Is it accepting things as they are told even if it's never the whole truth?

Who knows.

this year..*hint hint*

I've gotten what I've wished for.. so there's really nothing else =)
gf's having a headache to get me things.. lol
not leaving her with many options.

already have a ps3, a wii, a psp, an adamo laptop..

so I suppose she could get me books but where's the surprise in that if she asks me what I want? lol.. =)
Birthdays are generally a pain in the ass to buy for especially for a guy =)

having hobbies makes it somewhat simpler though if a guy reads, you'll have to know him fairly well to know what to buy for him. otherwise it's generic stuff such as perfume/cologne which I don't really use btw.. wallets (which is still in very good shape), belts (2 new ones still hanging there), ties (can also but don't wear them all the time) oh... maybe an ipod.. I seem to have misplaced mine.

things which are new hobby like... photography.. I'm looking for a f1.4/35mm portrait lens.
I think that's pretty upfront and shameless as far as presents go.. lol
or maybe a new pair of futsal boots
or another pair of oakleys (love em)
or a holiday
or.. hmmm...
actually.. I'd be happy with a big celebration (meaning lots of ppl).. *hint hint*
I think memories such as those are more precious than any material gifts can ever be.

consider yourselves informed.

*end shameless plug*
mwahahahaha

I like it when ppl give me quotable quotes =)

The world is full of abundance and opportunity, but far too many people come to the fountain of life with a sieve instead of a tank car… a teaspoon instead of a steam shovel. They expect little and as a result they get little. ~Ben Sweetland

also..
why call them barmaids?
call them milkmaids.. =)

twinkle like stars in the sky..

When people want to leave you, they'll give a million excuses.

When they want to be with you, they only need one reason.

oh?

that was quick..
