you know what it stuns me how ppl change sooo fast due to some change in their life its like their soul has just been switched their perspectives of people and beliefs change too like major change its crazy well...there is not really a point this but seeing people's perspectives and beliefs change after being around other ppl can be really freaky and at times quite sad tooo..INFLUENCE THEY MAKE OR BREAK YOU....

today attended mass sermon was more like parent's lecture but oh well... yeah then there was this part where couples renew their wedding vows...and yeah seeing every couple young and old renewing what they once said to their spouses, the one they love, their confidant,their best friend and the one they say 'till death do us part' this was a really touching scene in a world where divorces are common and there is a lack of love all a round to see such a sight is really heartwarming and being a new age sensitive guy i could not resist causing a tear to roll down my face....
this kind of happiness one day just one day:)
