EQ, as defined by theFreeDictionary.com is the intelligence regarding the emotions (or the control over it). How high is yours? If you know some people who would just stare at a wrapped gift given to them, count me in. I wasn't testing my EQ. I know how high (or strong) my EQ is, at least most of the time. And today is one of those times. A bulky mail came today with my name on it. I knew from whom it was because he asked me to check our mailbox (I don't usually get the mails here) and well, it has the sender's name on it. I am always happy to receive (snail) mails, always excited to open one. But it took me more than 12 years to open this one. Kiddin'. I just couldn't open it at once. I'm still thinking why. I stared at the envelop for a few minutes. I even tried to forget about it. Put it aside and went online. I am not used to receiving something bulky on mails. "Open it!" Fine. Sometimes I have to give in to that tiny voice inside my head. Why didn't I open it right away, anyway? I don't make sense sometimes. So, I ripped off the side of the envelop that says, "Pull to open". Inside was a small box, wrapped with brown paper with my name on it. Again, I stared at it. A familiar handwriting from not so long ago. I did not want to go down memory lane tonight, so slowly, one by one, I took off the tapes on the brown wrapper until the inside was exposed. Beneath is an old box with yet another familiar scent (a good one), inside is an iPod Shuffle, the color that I love-- green, and some 25 green beans, too.  "...an unexpected gift at an unexpected time." -- Finding Forrester "No. This is not happening," I kept telling myself. "This is not happening!" I feel awkward receiving something from anyone actually. What's more awkward was, it was from him-- the guy that I wanted to push away but I couldn't because... I told you, my EQ is high. Now, no jumping in to conclusions here. There is more to it than EQ. Maybe I'll tell the story someday. Or maybe not. Or maybe I have told the story once too many. Or maybe I really haven't. Let's just say that I am not happy on how things are going on in my life lately but I am O.K.. To HV, you really didn't have to do it, but thank you so much for the gift of music. Yup! I have introduced Shuffy to GreenApple already. They shook hands and now they're in sync! |
