saddening

people do change, don't they? it's sometimes quite sad to know that certain changes happen to people in a fairly short while... :(

but when i have this feeling that someone has changed, i will ask myself if I am the one that has changed and thus this feeling. this time, i am very sure that it is not me who has changed.

someone who used to be important and close, someone who shares thoughts and feelings.. someone whom i could rely on, someone who thought i was important too.

i forgot when it started... forgot when my thoughts, feelings, comments, and opinions did not matter anymore...

i feel... alone, somewhat. it's a sense of emptiness. a saddening feeling. i feel like someone who used to be able to hold a big crystal ball in her hands, but the ball broke; leaving me to hold on to whatever that's left...

there is more than one wall between us.. such an arduous task, even for the both of us.

such a sad thing to have happened........................ :(

beware! climbers!

recent news got me to thinking about what an author used to term as 'climbers'. i am one who is rather disgusted by such people.

for those who had never read 'first wives club' by olivia goldsmith, the term 'climbers' were used to describe those who latch themselves on people of higher status and climb up the social ladder, so to speak.

recently there was an acquaintance whom dumped her boyfriend of several years to be with an older, much richer 'colleague'. what is it with girls nowadays? this is not a question of love, it is a question of material needs. this i know, for they have only known each other for less than 3 months.

and, sad to say, this is not the only story i have heard by far.

this, which led me to thinking; is this world becoming too materialistic? press news and entertainment have shifted focus to the rich and the wealthy; thus making an impression on young women that whatever your salary might be, a LV bag on your arm is a mere basic necessity.

i think i am completely lucky that my guy is although cute, has zero financial ability to speak of. hahaha.
