gut feelings...
So I was reading my sis's LJ and she was talking about flying to Chicago to see her bf over the easter weekend. Obviously, the protective sis that I am, I asked her if it was overdoing it. As flying sooo many hours just for 3 days seems a lil bit far fetched. Okay. I understand she's crazy about this guy. In a way, I am extremely happy for her that she found this nice guy. But, do you guys ever wonder/realize how important the view of those ppl around you are? By this I mean friends and family? I mean if they all have these "unsettled" feelings about this guy, one should really step back and see what these ppl are trying to tell you, rite? It's phunnie cuz I realize how annoying family can be. See, my mum has the habit of doing the whole slap in the face-type thing, whereby she'd tell it to you face that you're practically the whore of babylon or something for even visiting a bf. My dad on the other hand does the whole, he's not a bad guy, BUT I'll leave it to you to figure out why I'm not so ecstatic about him. And me? ofcourse I do the whole "I just dun like him, he's not good enough for you, TRUST ME!" thing. Hehe. But I guess when all the comments get pushed together, it can be pretty overwhelming, especially when you're at the stage of "I just like this guy cuz he's great to me. So leave me be."
All I can say is I guess when you find that "perfect" guy that you adore and your family adores, stick with him, cuz it doesn't get better than that. Hehe.
Hmm, now I sorta forgot what I'm trying to get at. Hehe. I guess I just wanted to say that when you have that gut feeling about a person, it's really hard to change that feeling. Whether it be a good or bad feeling. But I guess I hafta someone remind my sis that as much as I bitch about this guy, I'm happy if you're happy. As long as you dun cause mumsy to have an aneurism or something. Hahahahaha.

it's ironic that you would post about this (listening to your friends/family about their opinions on signficant others). hopefully now you can appreciate where I was coming from several years back. ;)

Dejavu! hum...It's annoying for the family isn't it! kaka! I guess no one want to see their family or loved ones get hurt. Anyways, I think in a relationship no one is purposely out to hurt people unless you are a complete moron... So whether he is a suitable guy for your sis... leave it to time to tell. ;P The thing is this is all part of life. Everyone has to be stubborn sometime. Life is not fun without those stubborness.. kekeke! The key is that you are able to look back and smile about it no matter how silly it may be. ;) keke. -FreckleP

In response to my friends back home, I knew you guys were right and just looking out for me. But I do have to agree with Penny in that it is part of life, I do understand every now and then ppl become stubborn. For me, I think things like this cause me to be stubborn eventhough I can see blantly that it is not right. I have always appreciated my friends that cared so much about me. I know you guys care a lot and that's why you guys will always have a special place in my heart. I know I don't always voice it/show it, but I am and was very grateful for your opinions.
So Steffie I do understand your point of view, but as a sis, I just gotta try to countereact the stubbornes in you that runs in our family. :O) penny, I agree with you! Life is a experience. Live it, even with the stubborness. :O)
