Reflections are important to have sometimes.

thanx, i'm glad u understands. i just wanted to be with her, fade into the background for all i care, just sit there silently will be enough. but i guess she needed time alone. n it's at times like this, i realized how little i could do n how little i did. best wishes for u n ur bf!

i usually have a mixed feeling about my piece, sorta want to share the whole story on how's it's made n what inspired it, but sometimes it also feels like by doin so, i'm sharin so much of myself that i become vulnerable. but this particular piece i don't even know how it came to be. i was sittin in the bus terminal waitin to catch a bus to go home to my best friend. she just lost a loved one and i couldn't think but just wantin to be there with her. i played in my mind all sorts of different things i will do for her, but felt they weren't enough, n worst of all, i dunno what to say to her. n i guess i don't want to say anythin, the whole time i was doin this i was starin at the telephone booth in front of me. maybe cuz of fatigue, they started stretchin vertically and the metal was just glarin in my eyes. then i decided to draw. n the whole time i was replayin my relationship with my best friend, how we met, what happened these years and what i've done or didn't do. n by the time i got on the bus, this is the piece of paper i was holdin in my hand. i decided to name it reflection for two reasons. the reflection of the phone booth is somethin much more hideous than the spotless metal. just like a lot of things in this world, the reflection may show its true self, a darker and more painful self even. n sometime we can't see the true self unless some thing happens to serve as a reflective surface, maybe because we are unconsicously unwillin to see, or maybbe we are just so engrossed in the appareance. the other reason is a really straight forward one. i was reflecting on my life, my friendship, and myself as a person. it may not be a pleasant process, but that's what reflections are.
so there. hopefully i didn't bore u with this long story, but i guess i needed to get it out of my system. if you are still reading. thank you.
