"Funny but it seems I always wind up here with
you" - Kelly Carpenter.
Indeed it's funny how the reality of a friendship
hits you all of a sudden. And it's not exactly a
Eureka moment too. Just one of those times
you begin to truly enjoy with all abandonment
a friendship you've come to be so familiar with.
Guess it's just a moment sentimentalists like
me will notice, like the way you suddenly notice
you've grown up. I'm glad about the way this
friendship has grown.
I must make mention of a hallmark that I've
established with no one else before in my entire
life. It speaks about the way I've grown as well
as the way Royston has grown. Not to mention
that it speaks volumes about the way we've
witnessed each other's life journey.
Spontaneity. The word we've affirmed inherent in
this friendship for years now as manifested (for
lack of a better word) in the most amazing way
today. It was just something that caught my
attention about the opinions this crazy bro of
mine has.
Out of the sheer nature of our friendship, the
comment sounded like a tagline that's only
unique to him. I then came up with a crazy
idea of authoring a book that would record all
the quirky quotes that he haphazardly spills
out so frequently. So I penned down in my
notebook his comment in this way:
"Royston's Opinion on Life"
On Zen: "The belief that a human being is a
calm creature that just needs a tilam to sleep
on."
I tell you, that about cracked me up till I had
stitches! Does anyone else find it as funny?
I'm not sure, but it sure is original to me. =)
And I guess it's just the way he says it in his
signature straight-faced-but-mildly-amused-at
-his-ingenuity manner that makes it a winner.
So I will venture to collate all the quirky quotes
he has and make a book someday. I leave you
with a few teasers.
On Fame: "One way to get suitors. See William
Hung like that oso can get suitors. Just bang
here, bang there, everywhere.."
On attraction: "The worst part of me is that I attract
the wrong sex".
On lounge music: "Sounds like Kenny G on heroin,
blowing through his nose".
Someday we'll make it big huh?
