the problem with being a shock absorber...

...is that everyone knows you know everything.

and that is why i'm in the middle of everything again.

on the one hand, i'm flattered that people know i can be trusted with their stories. on the other, i hate it when i'm being cornered into telling them what they want to know but shouldn't. i try to smoothen things out by saying the harmless things. but i'm slowly starting to realize that no matter how innocent the stories are, people, in the heat of the moment, will always take it differently. they will always hear what they want to hear. and they will always blow things out of proportion. sometimes, an egg is really just an egg, people!

i really don't like it when people put words in my mouth. AND when they make it look like i've been going around telling people out of the blue. YOU come to ME and ask me all these questions, which quite frankly, i believe you should be asking that person. seriously, if you can't find it in your heart to trust the person, whether his actions lead you to think so or your paranoia really gets to you, you know there's something definitely off. so deal with it. use your judgment. if you can't trust him, then just walk away.

on a lighter note:

a few things i found funny on the bus back home...

-- a couple giving each other the silent treatment. the girl, on the nintendo ds, rolling her eyes. and the guy, reading a book, shaking his head and frequently sighing heavily. hmm.. the world really is turning upsidedown. haha.. kidding.
-- a skinny lady who looks to be in her 60s, wearing the strokes-ish skinny jeans, black hi-cut chucks, a floral blouse and a black leather fringe. but wait, there's more! she's got gold hoop earrings and the farrah fawcett blown-away-charlie's-angels 'do.
-- a korean dude, about my age, blatantly checking out the white chick sitting across him. he couldn't stop fixing his hair and his collar. i think i even caught him trying to check if he smells ok. haha.. the only thing missing is licking the pinky and pointer fingers to smooth over the eyebrows. it was THAT cheesy-sleazy.
-- the white chick had the same white coat i absolutely love. except that hers was in really good condition. made me realize i use that coat too often. haha..
