strangers

a quick news first from the author- it was friday last night and i have watched my fave band up dharma down ( i just so love their song "oo" ) during the awards night as part of the ust architecture week 2007. yeba. it was fun although my feet is aching and i felt so haggard because of a project (undone because they didn't allow us for an interview... ergh) earlier that day.

and also because of this event i have thought of something to blog about.

it's about me and some strangers. complete strangers.

have you ever felt something different or weird with a stranger before?

i don't know how to explain it but something in their eyes you would feel like it wanted to tell you something. well maybe i also made an impression for them to look like they wanted to say something through their eyes. but it just felt so weird when suddenly after a long time you'll walk by somewhere and you'd pass by that same stranger you've once seen. you've once felt the connection with. and there again will have that meaningful look. but then there's something (again) that pulls you not to say your thoughts loud, for some good things are left unspoken. well yeah, probably.

i was just thinking, what if i acquainted that person? would i be welcome for that stranger? would you be welcome for a stranger?

sometimes with so much stories in our head, we would make up stories for these people. funny sometimes we feel we've known their lives for what they look like or what we feel they're feeling. hah.

and sometimes this strangers, the before blank faces you pass through once in a month or even once in a quarter would make you feel like their becoming part of your life, intentionally or not. they've become the faces you made up stories with. the un-named people who have touched you in some unexpected and little ways. these people you feel like missing when you've not seen them in the place where your path have crossed before.

are you ready to be a stranger for a stranger?
