he's so not him anymore

i used to like him a lot. he used to be a nice guy, maybe he still is, i don't know. wel, we haven't talked for like forever. i can remember the last time i was actually talking to him was year 2006. it wasn't even a conversation really, it was a mere " hi-hello thing". he changed a lot. for one, he doesn't kid with us anymore, he's become a serious guy, a person with an expressionless face now. then, their's that im-a-family-man-now-so-i-can't-see-you-guys-anymore- principle; which pisses me off really. why can't he just be what he used to be... my friend i mean. can't he be a family man and one of us at the same time? he can still hang out with us sometimes, can he? well, he can even bring his wife along if he wishes to. my point here is, we do can change, but we don't have to become a new person all of a sudden.. right? i just miss him i guess. we used to be good friends. i used to confide with him. i used to tell him my petty problems, my paranoia, my laughters... well, not anymore, things had changed... & worst? he did too.

why not?

Friends would always ask me why I don't smile a lot in my photos... well, kinda complicated. I am no way against picture taking, in fact I love it! Photos would preserve memories, happy ones or otherwise, but for people who are not really gifted with the Perfect-smile qualities like me, then... uh... it's a hard to say "cheese" a little. Well, i think that smiling is an act requiring not only our mouths, but our whole face actually. We can still smile with our eyes. And, it takes a lot really to show our best eye-smile! hmmmm.... in fact, for me? The best smile is shown in our eyes. we can fake our "cheese" smiles, but our eyes can never lie...
