I used to read her blog to be spiritually encouraged. She'd talk about her love for God, her work among his people, her struggles in life. There's this honesty in her writings coupled with the optimism that all will be well because of her faith in God.
These days, all she blogs about are about material things, the places she goes to to hang out and shop, and her appearance. There's nothing wrong about that - and her honesty is still evident. Maybe this is the real her after all. Now that she's in the secular world, she's finally discovered who she really is?
One thing is for sure - i dun think i know her as well as i used to. Or perhaps, i never knew her at all?
On the same topic but in a different vein, i met up wif me Uni mates a couple of weeks ago - i mean, the Uni mates from me undergraduate days. It was brilliant. I've not seen some of them for more than 2 years. Yes, i'm reminded that everybody's changing - some have changed their jobs, some have lost their hair, one is expecting a child, another is moving into a new house (or shall i say, mansion?), everyone is driving different cars.
Yet for all the changes in our lives, it was so good to know that our frenship remains the same. Just like wif me mates at Essex a couple of months ago (see here), we just picked up from where we left off - and the time and distance that were in between us just faded away.

*One of my favourite songs. I really liked how TM used the tune for their commercial a few years back.
