Oh yes, BEING THERE. As overrated as the statement may be, I personally believe that unless you are in the exact situation, you can never tell what it truly means.
In a month or so, she will be the group's next bride. At 32, Angela is all set and ready for the big day. Dean is American, at least two feet taller than her. Good news is, they are equally crazy about each other. I was there when he proposed online – Yes, online! But what the heck! At least he is one of those few guys left on earth, having had no troubles of shouting to the entire “world-wide-web” about his most endearing feelings and the truth that he found TRUE LOVE in her! I should say, (without any intention to sound overly-mushy) Angela and Dean found their very own "happily-ever-after" in these modern days of credit-card-sized cameras and Apple iPad. (I know...I know...being a not-so-technical kind of person that I am, when I first heard about iPad, I thought, it is misspelled. It was not). Anyway, it was altogether utterly sweet and lovely.
Janelle daringly- admitted to me, how envious she is on how things turned out for Angela. Quite a bold confession! I, on the other hand zipped my mouth shut. I danced to the masquerade of smiles and laughter trying as hard as I can, to conceal the very same feeling I feel as Janelle does. Oh and by the way, the kind of envy I am talking about isn't exactly the one which belongs to the 7 Deadly Sins. It is just a sort of high school teeny-beanie jealousy - that kind that normally goes away after you have had a shower. Not deadly at all.
Alright, moving on. Beatriz is the sixth shade of the rainbow. She has two kids who are being taken care of by her in-laws in the Philippines. Eric, her husband, works in some part of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Their love story started off as a “rebound.” Now, whosoever was the rebound of whom, I am not confident enough if I remember it right, so let us just skip that part please. (I will set the record straight and right once I bump with Beatriz again. That’s a promise.) Without further ado, here comes the stinger... Eric fell in love with another girl in KSA! My oh my, why am I not so surprised here? It’s the usual - younger, prettier, sexier and fresher. (Duh! Like are there anymore new excuses you guys can possibly think of? Huhummmm...) Nonetheless, I think the bomber there was the fact which Eric admitted to Beatriz, that he indeed actually have fallen “IN LOVE” with the other girl. Ouch! That sucks big time! Oh I tell you, Beatriz literally cried a river...of course she was devastated, she wanted to kill herself! She’d rather be dead than to see her family falling apart. She was a real drama queen but so worthy of the crown. I can tell. I actually almost believed that for a moment, I was looking in a mirror as I was to talking to her. I have been there - maybe not exactly the same road, but a parallel one. It was painful. However, to give Eric a decent fight, I would have to agree that Beatriz’s nagging is gruesome. But still, that doesn’t change the fact that Eric, totally went overboard and did the common mistakes most of us humans have done, still doing, and for some, will continue doing.
Beatriz’s and Eric’s story was a bit short of a circus it turned out, to which the rest of the group took pleasure of peeking into. (Geez, some people... Okay, Fine! I am one of them! Shame on me! In defence though, would you rather close your eyes and deny yourself of a FREE reality show complete with popcorn and beer???)
Oh well...
