life's a bitch and then you die

Work has been busy ever since post-cny hols. I keep myself occupied after some (unnecessary) drama lately.
We are hired to work, not gossip or backstab.
Yet, I should be thankful that I still get to go off at VERY reasonable hours, unlike some of my friends.
On another note. I’m often under the weather lately. Ok, it’s nothing new about me.
But it’s lately it seems I’m very susceptible to being sick, but not sick enough for mc.
Which makes me think...when life is hard, do we work harder and play even harder?

Weekend started... with wacky but loveable friends, Friday night dinner, coffee/tea, movie and supper.
And some sad news. Hang in there my friends. There is only so much I can say to you and you and you. I can empathize but not knowing truly how it feels to be in your shoes.
I know it hurts, how your heart breaks. I keep my distance, because I swear I can hear it.

I never had high EQ. Never knowing what is right to say.
And I never really like to tell people about things that upset me, rather – I do not know how. Even if I do, I don’t expect words of comfort.
Just being by my side, breathing next to me, listening. Or a hug. A shoulder to cry on. Nothing more.

So, what if this whole entry has nothing to do with "life's a bitch and then you die".
When things go awry, ya, you say, life’s a bitch. And ultimately we all die in the end.
But in between, how do we make it more worthwhile, fulfilling and enjoyable? That is something only you can answer. To yourself.

p/s:
I am falling in love.
Falling so much in love.
Falling in love with the rain.
No I am not being emo.
But rain is good. Rain is cleansing. Rain is pure. Waters the paddy fields too..
Its tranquility keeps me safe under my blanket, under my jacket, under that umbrella.
Also it keeps the weather very London-like, and I love the mornings when I walk to work, with my black somber umbrella, a book, and coffee – waiting for the light to turn green.
It then finally dawned on me (today), maybe my love for rain is the very moment when the sun re-appears after the downpour.
That very moment.
And if you are lucky – you get a rainbow too.
