thank goodness.
F for Friends forever..
i actually learnt something through all of this. a some sort of social equation if you will. ever marvel at how the actions of one affect the actions of many? and that the subsequent actions themselves affect the actions of the first? and how through the web called friendship, the line of affliction crisses and crosses into the lives of everyone else?
life is complicated.
oh well... but that's life!
i do hope we can put all this misunderstandings and weird-unspeakable-feelings behind us. i realise that this in reality will need some time... but i hope the bond between all of us is stronger than something so trivial as this would break.
hmm... i have been so pre-occupied with this for the past few days that i totally forgot to do an introduction for my new blogskin. you all DID NOTICE my NEW blogskin right? *winks.
anyway... it's got a flower theme to it... as per my previous blogskin... but the only difference now is... it's not just a flower theme... it's a winter-flower theme!
i dunno if you all know the flower that is in the picture...
so for your general benefit...
i shall educate you...
presenting...
the winter-flower... Ume うめ. it's basically an asian plum.
but she's a really beauty isn't she?
notice how incredibly white the petals are?
wonderful how the delicate white is carefully laced with just enough red and yellow to make it so amazing to look at.
but that's not the most amazing thing about this-my-new-favourite plant...
the most astounding thing about her is this...
her blossoms are so beloved, because they bloom most vibrantly amidst the winter snow while all other flowers have long since succumbed to the cold and died.
i hope we can all be exactly like her...
we can be as understanding as her...
we can be an example of resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity...
we can bloom in the most difficult and challenging of conditions...
to become a beauty unmatched by any.
岁寒三友... are we?
