  • 2 questions which nagged me today:



    1. is it really possible for friends to be lovers (obviously, inspired by that link that i read)?
    2. how long does it take for an egg to become hard-boiled? ('cause i boiled mine for several tennis sets between serena and justine and it came out... hard. too hard.)

  • 1. I hope you're not wondering about that too much!  I think the question should be: once friends become lovers, can they stay friends? 

    2. 3 to 5 minutes

  • 1. that's ideal... and like the girl said: lovers should be friends. she can't understand how someone can be married to a person and yet consider another person to be their best friend.

    2. just that? no wonder it was so hard. i took a peep at it from time to time and couldn't tell, so i left it for almost 30 mins. but how did you know that?

  • 1. Yes.

    2. Not sure. Perhaps 3 minutes. But as long as the egg spins upside down, it's already hard.

  • hey girl...I must say...we have the same things to ponder lately...YES...I believe that there's a big possibility that friends can be lovers...friendship is the first level in all intimate relationship...ideally.

    Now the question I have in mind really is, which I am going to blog soon...when I find the time..."Do friends of the opposite sex can have a platonic (pure and forever friendship) relationship?"

  • oh the egg...What I am taught was 3 minutes.

  • The answer to question #1 is a big yes. The bf and I are proof of that.

    Everything should really begin with friendship.

  • As for the egg, who knows ? When I want hard-boiled egg, I just let it boil and boil. Who cares about the time ? My eggs have never reached the point where it gets too hard though.

    Now, a soft boiled one, that's the hard part.

  • sure, friends can be lovers.  but that can sometimes backfire because should the relationship not work out, it's very difficult to remain friends.  i guess this could possibly be circumstancial but based on my past experiences and past circumstances, i cannot be friends with ex-lovers.  so i opt for a clean break.  that way, i won't have any residual effects if and when i decide to get involved again.  i don't like skeletons in my closet or ghosts from the past.  creates insecurity for my current partner.  that's never a good feeling.

    as for the egg, don't really know.  when i want a hard-boiled egg, i usually go to a deli and buy one.

  • @silvercord: so i'd have to take the egg out of the boiling water and spin it? or is it supposed to spin itself upside down when it's hard-boiled? i guess not.

    @teena: my answer to your question is yes.

    @popcorn: that's right. making soft-boiled egg is harder.

    @porc: i can relate to that... and i like that thought: need an egg? go to the deli. cool.

  • could be individual.. in my experience, dated two guys (not at the same time ha ) who were really good friends at first. then when we broke up, the friendship didn't survive and everything couldn't be the same.. kaya yun..

    as for the egg question, don't know kasi allergic

  • I usually cook mine for about 20 minutes and they come out just right.  I want it fully cooked...with no mushy center.  Of course I'm talking about eggs.

    About friends being lovers.  I have 2 experiences..My husband (fulkar) and I started out as friends for 2 years and then when we both fell out of relationships (with other ppl), we just happened to share our grief with each other and got closer.  So I can truly say I married my best friend.

    Before that, though.  I had a disastrous relationship with someone who was my best friend (we started e-mailing to each other again recently...we're both married now).   I had been friends with this guy since 1991, and had always had a brother and sister relationship.  We used to talke often, if not in person, then through phone and e-mails/chats. However, 5 years later...same situation, we both fell out of love, we somehow got together, but it didn't work out.  When we broke up a few months later...we lost our friendship as well. 

    So...there you go.  I both had a success and failure when it comes to that department.

  • Lunch would be a great idea, want to phone me tomorrow?

    (because I know you like making phone calls. )

  • Jesus is Kikai's friend and the lover of her soul. so the answer is yes, isn't it?

  • in my experience, no. things aren't just the same anymore. just like how that song by tracy chapman goes: you and me had some history, had a semblance of honesty, all that has changed now... we shared words only lovers speak, how can it be, we are less than strangers... really sad, when you think about it

  • Hey Minks, I just read about your blog about me from a month ago. You have a good memory, even though you are 35 . That was nice, remembering those good times we had.

  • Hmmm, I haven't read the link but I lost a good friend that way.  Just my 2 cents.
