Time to say bye bye....

Great friends are like amazing jeans: They offer incredible support and cover your rear when you need it the most. But also like denim, it's easy to get used to a pal who doesn't fit you like she should. Here are some subtle tip-offs that you ought to make yourself less available as your friend's personal therapist or ego-booster...or even move on altogether.

1. Looking back a few months, you realize you let all her calls go to voice mail, even if you were in a chatty mood, because you couldn't muster the energy for small talk.

2. Your boyfriend labels you a "hazmat area" after seeing her because you're so bitter.

3. Upon noticing her new purse, you obsess over the fact that she blew $200 you lent her years ago.

4. After a long talk with her, you eat a pint of Ben and Jerry's to take your mind off her neuroses.

5. If you have a differing opinion, you reply, "You're probably right." It's easier just to get her off the topic since she hates losing a debate.

6. She acts accessible but always says "superbusy...but totes wanna hang out soon!"

7. She tweaks her successes into digs, like "It's funny you were the one guys used to hit on, but since I lost 10 pounds, they love me!"

8. After you tell her about a life change (e.g., a new job or apartment), you notice her "support" is tethered to concern or doubt ("It's just that I'm so worried about you").

9. When she's single, you detect she seems a bit pleased when you tell her about a bad date.

10. You sometimes walk away from a conversation with her feeling like a stripped car.

11. When you see her, you never quite get around to talking about you. But you could write a novel about the crappy boss and hellish landlord she yapped about for 90 minutes straight.

12. Her e-mail that asks "Wanna meet up?" means one thing: She must've split with her latest guy.

13. A friend in common mentions something personal you had told your pal in confidence — the third time this year alone!

14. You avoid talking about a life crisis because her reply is inevitably "You think that's bad...."

15. She rattles off a list of former pals who are "dead to her" for some betrayal and adds "But you'd never do that to me."

The Flasher II...

I woke up late today... I was suppose to go for a jog at City Park early enough to avoid the early sun... My bed was so inviting...the sound of the alarm was like my lullaby... I slept on... Until the sound of the alarm played for the third time... Sheesh!! Ok.. Ok... I'll wake up.. Darn!! the digital numbers on my handphone display showed 7:43am... I'm so late... it either i quit and continue my journey into the dream world... or spank myself up and get ready for a quick jog... I decided i would just take the course around my neighbourhood...at least i can save the travelling time to and fro from the park...and avoid the sun...

So, I got up and changed into my PJ's, tied my hair, grabbing my earphones off the telephone desk... I cant jog without music.. It sort of gets me pumped up to workout on the tracks... Just before i stepped out of the house.. A sudden flashback of the freak that stood in the back lanes yesterday played through my mind... I thought, "Would he be back petrify his victims again today?"... I glanced again at the back lane to where i saw him yesterday...no one.. I'd just take my chances then....

The neighbourhood was pretty peaceful this morning... I stopped my to pat my neighbour's dog before starting of my brisk walk.... As i walked, i pass the place where i saw the freak standing... my mind was playing games again with me... a hundred and one questions.... I looked at the time on my handphone... 8.30am.. Still to early i guessed, maybe he'll appear the same time yesterday...that was what i thought... Clearing my mind... i was determine to complete my exercise task of the day.....

After two and a half rounds, i did my warm downs... my eyes looking toward the back lane now and then... No one... I decided to wait a while longer..so i played with the neighbour's dog to past the time... 10 minutes past... i looked again towards the back lane... No one.. I supposed, the freak chose his spots carefully, not to repeat the same spot more then twice in order to reduce suspicion... I wonder who was his victim today...or did he get caught....

The Flasher...

At exactly 10.15am this morning, i accidentally became a victim of a flasher... you know.. a sex maniac or pervert who intentionally reveals or shows his private part.. you may think i'm a sexist but its a definate chance that a flasher is a guy... and i use the singular form of 'part' is coz guys have only one thing (physically) valuable enough to show...

Anyways, it started off with me coming back from pilates.. i parked my car at the porch and was making my way to close the gate... when suddenly, i noticed a guy.. (didn't see what race he was) waving at me... at a glance as i was closing the gate i noticed his motion of pulling down his pants.. Oh gosh!! how thankful am i not to look directly at him.. Well, i did think of what would could have happened if i looked directly at him since he was sort of waiting at the back lane of the houses just opposite my house... Trauma?? Some may think... Nah!! to me, it'll just be a trip down my biology lesson on human reproduction... just that now its 3D.. *if you know what i mean...wink...wink..

I couldnt keep quiet bout this.. i was a bit embarassing having to tell my dad what happened... It wasnt his usual... MR.COOL reactions though...He was a bit concern bout this maniac hanging around in our neighbourhood... My mission tommorrow... is to see whether this crazy fella still stops at the same place to look out for his victims... if he is... some means of action should be taken...
