Back to Life… Back to Reality…

August 28th, 2008 by Lynda

I have been neglecting this blog for a month… Back in the “Tanah Air” means back to the past with no internet. It was so hard to get internet set up, after weeks and finally I got it today! Unbelievable.

For almost one week, I enjoyed a vacation with my “Best Girls”, a reunion with my high school girlfriends… I did not realize until then that we all have changed a lot since high school. Well, gained weight… some grey hairs… physically and also mentally… Two of them got married already… One has two daughters, two of us are still single and confused…Not that marriage means certainty and no confusion. We all grown-ups now and our view of life in our heads has changed even though we were once just the same happy-go-lucky teenage girls with no problems to worry about other than school and boys :)

Bali was always fun, I am thinking of staying, work and live there. The good things are, it wasn’t as much stress as in Jakarta and Bali was more international… If lucky, I’ll get decent salary with lower living cost over there. Only it wasn’t a big city with lots of entertainment, I always need a great cinema selection but of course I will find some pirated DVDs anywhere now.

I could get more intensive treatment also with the psychic doctor that I visited last time… He only told me that the cure for lupus was death. It was a little harsh… and my heart was pounding when talking to him, I felt so little because we were in a different level of spiritual level. I didn’t care about my fear and only want to get better… but then he talked to my other friend, just a small talk but he knew right away that she needed some help with regeneration. She was so surprised, burst into tears at the very moment when he said he would help her. This was a moment of believe it or not-but he knew anything- He will read you like a book… Said that he has cured Hillary Clinton for her beast cancer few years ago and the daughter of Mitsubishi’s boss from Japan that they launched a car with his name “PAJERO”. I was just spreading the news of his great ability :) well… believe it or not, right?

I have been living in solitude for few years and found that I love it so much. Staying in one place too long makes me anxious. Communal living was in the past and sharing a room with two other girlfriends was such a bitch :P … Luckily it was only 5 days, otherwise we would have scratched each other’s face like wild cats… But It was fun, lots of tolerant :), pictures, memories, bitchings and laughs. It came to the point that we hoped that we will be able to do this every year but with husbands and kids, it was impossible for everyone. We shared each other’s life stories and tried catching up for all those years that we were apart…

Oh, how we wish that we were just a happy-go-lucky high school girls again…!
