a blessing in disguise?

as of the past 2 weeks, a friend's life turned up side down. cliche. but true. a close friend as i might say. i cannot even begin to describe the impact to me. as i opened my fone one Saturday afternoon after i got home from school, a text from her startled me as i began to cry. a kind of in shock cry i should say... because literally i was in deep deep shock. i never noticed it before coz almost every week we do hang out, we even had drinks the week before so it was possibly untrue.. to me. until i went to the hospital with my friends and found her sitting on the bed of the ob-gyne ward. my very best friend is pregnant of 6 months. :(

as i would recall how i felt after i read her text, all our "dreams" came flashing through. we'll put up a business together, we'll go to hongkong for a vaca, go to parties and get wasted, and even each other's made of honor. she is only 22, a graduate of a 4 year engineering course and with a good paying job. i know she is not ready for a baby. she even gave me her dog coz she couldn't take care of her!! and what really kills me above all this, she and her bf had broken up 2 months ago and the guy had already found somebody else.

i am really excited for our little one, but at first i was really devastated. a child can make a big change to someone's future and priorities. and i know she has a lot on her mind right now. one thing is for sure, i know somehow she'll figure it all out and we are all here to support her in every way. :))
