going out?

for the uninitiated, hola! life without the laptop and being disconnected from the cyber world means limited surfing from the office, no youtubing, no msn-ing, no chatboards. bt that also meas more time and more initiative to go out and hang out. there's a couple of changes to my current lifestyle, one of the most important to me is attending church regularly.

if i were to use the analogy of being in a romantic relationship, what best describes how i feel now is that, i used to think that there's nothing to lose being single. there's nothing to be upset about, life still goes on and life can still be beautiful. but when you get back into a relationship, and in this instance meaning me getting back into the relationship with God, u realize it's not about what you lost but more so of what you gain. be it knowingly or unknowingly, tangible or intangible, somehow somewhere something changed for me.

and also in the very same way for shar - from meeting only a few times a year, i now see her every sunday. its not that i lost a friend in the past, she was always there when i needed her. but yet now i still feel that i gained back something precious to me, and i do treasure and see the blessing of this friendship more.

so, that's the cup half-full version of my life.
