Take a look at yourself in the mirror, who do you see looking back?
Is it the person you want to be, or is there someone else you were meant to be, the person you should have been but fell short of?
Is someone telling you, you can't or you won't? Because you can.

Sometimes happiness doesn't come from money or fame or power. Sometimes happiness comes from the good friends and family. And from the quiet nobility of leading a good life.

Believe that love is out there, believe that dreams come true everyday, because they do.
So take a look at that mirror and remind yourself to be happy because you deserve to be, believe that.

My Friend...Jeremy.

The next person that would be featured would be this guy we know as Jeremy Than. Your regular guy filled with testosterone and adrenaline? Not exactly. He may be filled with raging hormones for the opposite sex but that does not define who he is. Some may find him being the guy who goes after the pretty girls all the time but this is not really much the case.

Jeremy can be said to be another huge influence, an eye-opener to me because it was thanks to him, I actually knew how interesting a pastor's child can be. Not that I'm trying to insinuate him but he has a unique personality, at least for me.

I wouldn't want to comment much on his upbringing at home but I believe, if it wasn't for his parents, he would not be who he is as I've known since the beginning of Form Six. At one hand, he has met very different kinds of company of friends and that was where he gathered the personality of being a, I would say quite a reckless and daring individual. His command of the vulgar language is also rather strong in this personality of his, if I may comment.

However, this does not mean that he is all bad to the bone. You see, with the privilege of being his friend, I have realized that he isn't all that bad as an individual. He can really be a very good and loyal friend. And don't get me wrong, he is not always the bad prankster as well. He is one who knows his limits. When you get to know him as a friend, he is actually someone cool to hang out with. True enough, he has considered the cybercafe as his second home but he is also quite the adrenaline junkie. He is a good person to bring with for theme park rides, especially roller coasters.

As for my history with him, I would have to admit, I really didn't want to be a part of his friends when Form Six started. He was considered by me as a 'bad influence' in the class, especially when he was always with hanging out with another two guys in class. They were similar to those guys from my previous school, hanging out mostly together, acting cool as always, doing their own thing. So that was where my assumption came about. At that time, I just thought to myself, I can't be friends with such people. They are totally different from me.

But again, boy was I wrong. He was being very friendly by trying to invite me for his magic tricks and somehow, I just didn't feel comfortable then. I feel very sorry now about then but at least he never took it to heart. I believe, one of the ways we finally got closer was when Lower Six finished and he just got me hooked to the cybercafe. Now I know that is not a good way to start, but it suits me just fine to finally get to know Jeremy as a friend. I have to admit, up until today, I am still unable to match his scores. Probably because of the lack in experience.

He opened up his world to me where guns and probably Warcraft heroes ruled once. I saw it and was pretty impressed. I guess that was what that got me hooked. Though I may say that his Enigmas, Dragon Knights, Lich Kings, Queen of Pains and King of Olympuses have yet to addict me, his Boomers, Witches, Smokers, Terrorists, C-Terrorists definitely have. Not to say I regret it but yeah, good times.

He also introduced me to his interest in magic. He showed me his tricks, taught me a few, just wondering if I can remember them though and as well as Bicycle cards. The smoothest playing cards in the world. What? I'm guessing you must be saying who cares, it's just cards but hey, he uses them for magic tricks. There is a significant difference there.

Besides that, I can also remember the times in the classroom, chatting mostly about random stuff. His keen observation with the cute or hot girls around the school. His recent gaming session. The latest movie obsession. Gosh, so much talking. Best person to have with just for a talk. Seriously.

Jeremy, an honestly good guy. Though he is prone to much teasing and vulgarity at times, he is still a rather good friend to have. True enough, we've had our disagreements at times, but we did stay good as friends. And hopefully this will go for a long time, buddy. One of the things that I think make him still a good soul is his devotion to God. I guess no matter how far this apple drops from the tree, he still is a son from a very religiously healthy couple. So, it's still good to say they did teach him to be a good person.

If you thought that this was Jeremy, you are wrong...partly.

Haha. This was a drawing on the school whiteboard last time, if you guys can remember. The turtle part of the drawing was done by another person if I'm not wrong.

There you are. For those who have not met the guy yet, this is a picture of him. Now you can hunt him down for a date, especially single good-looking girls and probably the occasional desperate guys as well. That is for a game of course.

This is also another picture of him. Him and his favourite candy. Yum Yum.

Okay. There you have it. The Lord of the BunNy. Yes, it must be written that way because it is made up and certified by him. No other variations of the name are allowed to be associated with him. Jeremy Than, not really the person you would have thought of him to be. Just get to know him better, and you will gain an invaluable friend.

As time is passing so ever the quickly, we will depart on our separate paths in life. Here I am wishing him well for his future, hoping he will begin to leave certain habits of life away and begin anew. Well wishes to a journey of a lifetime ahead of him and the beginning of a new leaf for him, maybe?

Anyways, let me finish this article with a single quote,

"Long Live The BunNy"!!

Another good post JG! Keep em coming. Will be sad when you're done :( Have to agree with you that it's been interesting knowing Jeremy. And yeah, he's a good person to chat with and to ride roller coasters with. I also wish him well for his future and hope that the lessons learnt during Form 6 will serve him in good stead. Long Live The BunNy indeed!
