After playing DotA and getting frustrated with the game crashing on me all the time, I decided to go to sleep already. While closing all my windows, I noticed my best friend, Macky, is online so I shot him an IM.

Little did I know that my friend is hurting. We have not seen each other since last year and a half I think. His job entails that he goes to LA so he is there now. He felt overwhelmed with all that is happening to him (too much to put in just one post).

So here's part of the conversation that I managed to save ... and I got reminded that it doesn't matter how far you are or how long you have not seen each other, friends will still be friends no matter what. And futhermore, that I could still be a star for another person, even though I look at the world using the devil's mirror.

The only thing that I am worried about right now is how to keep in constant touch with my friend because I know how vulnerable he can be despite his tough appearance.
