The Lines of Greens and Blues

I seriously didn't see this one coming, but as soon as I read the news, I knew had to go, no matter what!! Mr. Big reunited for an Asian Tour and was headed for Jakarta.
You know Mr. Big, right? Billy Sheehan's band? They had a couple of big hit and ballads in the early 90s, but went obscure in the US after that. Well they continued on here in Asia until a few years ago... They were big not only in Japan, but other countries like Indonesia as well...
So I called up a bunch of my friends to see if any of them are going to the concert... Apparently Lost was going with a bunch of her friends (I didn't know who at the time), so I decided to join her group...
Closing on the concert day, I found out that Lost was going with RockStar, a high school buddy of mine whom she had a history with... Well, I didn't want to pry, I decided to play it cool (dumb) and not let it affect my concert mood. In fact, it's been years since I last seen RockStar and I was very much looking forward to hanging out with him again. Oh, we also invited Solid Snake as our getaway car driver for the night... we've got extra free tickets, so...
The concert was at some beach/amusement park area... due to the magnitude of this concert, we have to park like 2 miles away from the stage area. It was fine when we were walking towards the concert everyone was upbeat, excited and happy... We even half jogged on our way, not wanting to miss a good spot for the concert...
We did in fact found a good spot... not too far from the stage. We arrived around 30 minutes before Mr. Big starts at 11 PM...
They did play a good show... but seriously, after about an hour, my body started to give... I'm 33 after all... I was like," please get this over with and play 'To be with You' already!!!"
So well after midnight, they finally did their encore and sang 'To be with You'... I still had the energy to sing (scream) along to all their lyrics...
The walk back after the concert was the toughest, I know that it was only a couple of miles... but it's 1:30 AM for God's sakes... Everyone was dragging themselves to their cars...
We didn't reach home until around 3 AM. Beat, smelly and in pain... Would I do it again? Hell yeah!! It's not often you get to see the band you like (or use to like) playing in Jakarta, I think from now I will keep my eyes and ears wide open for events like this in the future...

Episodes Revisited

During my work stay in Sumatra, I got an unexpected message from Evenstar...
I haven't heard from her in a while... While we never actually broke off contact, we never kept in touch either. It was rather pleasant to hear from her again...
From what I gathered, she still working hard at her present job, she even got offered for a permanent position. However, she is seriously considering going back to Canada next year. I guess she never felt at home here in Indonesia, it is Canada where she truly belongs... In any case, I congratulated her on her work progress and wished her the best of luck where ever her future endeavors may be.
The second news I got from her was : Queen of Diamonds is said to be getting married next year. I think Evenstar was worried of my well being when she told me the news, didn't know how I was going to react.
Strangely, I felt indifferent... both to Evenstar's moving back decision and to Queen of Diamond's marriage news... I admitted to Evenstar that I did had a hard time in the beginning with Queen of Diamonds, but it's been around 2 years now and I've let it go... no hatred no anger, no nothing...
In the end we were just feeling surprised that it has indeed been 2 years since this whole thing ended (started)...

I've got a few more stories up my sleeves, just need a good angle to write them...
Stay tuned, folks...

I don't know where to begin, because it never ends...

Balance...
That was the whole thing I was striving for for these past few years. Achieving balance in my life, my work, while I keep fighting to reach the goal...
The goal is simple enough, happiness, a life that I want, my Sanctuary. Reaching for it, however, it's a whole other matter.
A series of event somehow sidetracked me from my own course for a little while there. Some due to my own negligent, while others are coincidental factor. What surprised me the most was that how easily I was thrown off my game plan only to revert back to my previous incarnation, even after all these years and all that I have done and achieved.
Before I know it, I was off my balance, we're talking way off... I'm neglecting my exercises, my friends and some parts of my work. Close to rock bottom...
I need to snap out of this soon, and I've started doing parts of what I needed to do, while the rest... I need the support of my friends...
