Ben 說:
well when you’re in Bschool you will have no time for these dramas
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
yeah i hope so
Ben 說:
this might even be best in the long term, and who knows maybe you’ll get back together afterwards
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
i’ll be fine, i’m still learnin’ to cope with it
Ben 說:
yeah man, 3 wks is very recent, it’ll take you probably a year
Ben 說:
i lost my sex drive for 5 months after breaking up w/halina
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
yeah i’m having my thoughts up in that regard. if not now, perhaps we’ll get back together in the future
Ben 說:
what you really need to do is to stay busy and hang out with friends, that way it’s a loooot easier
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
yeah i bet it’ll take me a while to get over this one
Ben 說:
for sure
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
yeah the thing is i’m not busy enough
Ben 說:
and i’m sure your kidney is tied to the emotional stress
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
yeah i agree
Ben 說:
why don’t you come back here, and maybe i will move over to van w/you and we can hang out
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
i haven’t been sleeping well in the last 3 weeks
Ben 說:
sure, i could see that.
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
so it’s terrible
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
yeah i think that’s a good idea
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
i’m going to be spending my chinese new year with the family in taiwan
Ben 說:
i think my shoulder problem is tied to my stress, which is getting better as my stress fades.
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
and will probably return to van at the end of feb or early march
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
oh yeah? good for you man
Ben 說:
i want to learn this thing called Emotional Freedom Technique - check it out on google
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
business is comin’ together?
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
will do
Ben 說:
i plan on learning it, as i hear it is a great thing to do for yourself. Or you can go to a practitioner who can do it for you.
Ben 說:
You might also go to the doctor and ask for a sedative.
Ben 說:
They calm you and help you sleep better.
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
actually that’s on my schedule today
Ben 說:
My dad made me get some in Nov when i was really depressed.
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
i’ve been stayin up all night, and not sleepin’ till 8-10 in the morning
Ben 說:
i only used them for a week or so, but they helped.
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
really eh?
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
i’m looking forward to that
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
i’m so drained...i’ve never encountered this kind of stress before
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
it’s way worse that what one’d get from work
Ben 說:
fuck man, you ve got to go get some from the doctor, seriously. If you are’t sleeping , your body can’t heal itself, and your emotions go even worse. When this happens, a big sickness then strikes to make your body rest.
Ben 說:
i’ve narrowly avoided this myself
Ben 說:
yeah, it’s terrible.
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
yeah i’m going to get this thing taken care of
Ben 說:
did you know paul broke up /w his g.f?
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:

.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:

Ben 說:

.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
i’ve never met his girl, how long have they been together
Ben 說:
a few years
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
a couple of years too eh
Ben 說:
what exactly are you doing over there?
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
i’ve just finished my application to my bschools last week
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
now i’m just spending time with my family and some friends in taiwan
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
not doing much for work, that’s why i say i’m not busy enough
Ben 說:
hmmm
Ben 說:
well congrats on getting the apps done
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
i’m thinking to fill my days with volunteer work
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
get moving with life again
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
chinese new year is coming, so i’m looking forward to spending more time with family then
Ben 說:
yeah..
Ben 說:
do you still talk w lilly daily?
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
no man
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
i don’t know how to
Ben 說:
well she should knw how you feel
Ben 說:
shows her that you still love her. othewise she has no real idea...
Ben 說:
just my thoughts..
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
is that right?
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
maybe i should write her a letter
Ben 說:
well i told halina, in person is best, or on the phone
Ben 說:
but write down what you wnat to communicate first so you get the right ideas across.
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
interesting thought
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
at least she should know how i feel
Ben 說:
maybe there’s ways to problem-solve around the issues
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
venting it out will probably make me feel better too
Ben 說:
yeah for sure. You’ve got too much invested to just let this go
Ben 說:
yeah, no harm in telling her how much you loveher. She’s prob feeling the same as you.
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
but what can i do? i know winning her over now isn’t best for both of us
Ben 說:
well do the ’conditional close’
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
i’m thinking the best i can do is to get into a good school and show my worth, and perhaps get back once i got my mba degree
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
interesting
Ben 說:
get together until you go to bschool, then tell her ’we’ll say See You Later’ during school, and after the 2 yrs, if we’re both still single, we’ll try dating again
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
i hinted that to her when i last saw her on msn
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
i think i should definitely do that in person
Ben 說:
dude you gotta do this stuff on the phone!
Ben 說:
yeah, person is best!
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
yeah u’re right
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:

.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:

.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
the power of positive thinking...sounds so familiar
Ben 說:
well plan out the next few months, some things you want to do, or the next 30 years of your career.
.GQ. awaiting invitation 說:
