Life is so unpredictable at times. When you thought that you know that person, you actual don't really understand how he or she thinks and the rationale behind their actions. As a result you may be losing confidence in developing a stronger relationship with the person. Or some people who are real determined may just get a chance to break the barrier to know the person more. Well, all it takes is just passion, time and effort.

Somehow I'm typing this with a heavy heart, I'm not sure why myself though. Probably it reminded me of all my past relationships with friends etc. I mean those, sadly to say, broken. Quite true that in any situation, we all need to seek understanding from each other and that's how communication is bridged and stronger relationships will come. At least this is what I can conclude from my past experiences, especially with a friend I used to call buddy just a year back.

So considering the factors I had pointed out, would you be a person who is determined to break that barrier to really know the person more, and seeking understanding with the person more or vice versa?

It's unavoidable that relationships are everywhere. There are no corners in the world that allows you to do things without having a relationship with someone. I was taught to have effective communication with the other party so that I'm able to have a good relationship with that person. Sadly to say, I'm still trying to master that skill but along the way I believed I hurt a lot of people but thank God for forgiveness in this world. But I wasn't so lucky with some others.
It's quite sad to see people you know, come and leave, either without a reason and leave abruptly or simply give you a reason and that's it. Or it could be situation-based. It's hard to say but definitely some cases would fall in one of the categories above. The only thing I can say is that while we are still with the people whom we love, we be ourselves and treasure all the time we have with them, and to the best of our capabilities give them the best memories possible. This seems to be my motto ever since that incident a year ago... But it's still evolving I must say because I do change myself with situation or with time. But still, giving people the best memories possible would be my priority.

I sort of remembered someone saying before that we should try to reduce the bad stuff we do to a person as much as possible, because people remember the bad stuff more easy than the good stuff. How true... So why not try to satisfy others while you can enjoy giving those people the satisfaction they need? Of course not asking you to compromise yourself to do that but within your capabilities would be fine.

And ya, always take care of the little details too? Haha.. The little details can change a person's life because it shows forth how caring, detailed you are to a person and a person remembers it more than the bigger and more extravagant stuff that you do. Especially if your contact with the person is short, the little things that you do would make a deep impact into the person's life. Little things like opening doors for girls to walk, simply saying 'Hello' or 'Thank You' with a smile or getting something the person needs without being asked are although small but nice gestures that impacts people. Quite true about the term saying 'The little does much.' Lol...

And people do change, I believe. It can be the mind, be the body but it can never be the heart unless you are influenced that causes a change of heart. A heart, to me, is supposed to be somthing genuine and sincere but unless it's influenced or poisoned by external factors, it will remain as it is. Perhaps that's why Paul said we should always guard our hearts. Haha..

How come suddenly I'm into all these I wonder.. Haha.. Well. just a chain of thoughts from my own. Gonna blog on some other things later. Haha..

Cheers and toodles. =)
