the most patient man in the world

one of the reasons why i love my dad. He is by far the most patient man on the surface of God's green earth. i think patience stems from a great character, someone who's calm and sure that things are gonna turn out even if things get thrown off by idiot people. guess thats what i saw in him. great, enduring patience.

i will need someone very patient if that person is gonna live with me for the rest of my/his life.

Married Life

today had my second bible study session with the wonderful mei ee. Had a really good time. I just love talking to her, things seem to be working out so fabulously, i'm so thankful for that. After that, she and dan took me out to dinner at Jack's Place and brought me grocery shopping with them. Although i felt mildly strange, cos i was like their kid, but way too old, it was a really fun time. I felt so accepted, assimilated into their family almost. I was really touched by the kindness and generosity they treated me with, even paid for my cab home. feel all loved and blessed and fuzzy.

and their married life seems so nice. for those not from BA, daniel and mei ee just got married in december, after having dated at least 9 years. Maybe that's why they were so comfortable with each other, so in tune with the other person. My subconscious cynicism about married life just evaporated.

there are many mundane things that dont come to mind when we think about marriage. Like buying tissue paper, or detergent, or mango-scented soap, or yoko-yoko. but there you have it, it just has to be done.
