Smile

To smile , we use several muscles.It is a simple workout for the face, that is also preventive.It prevents wrinkles.

perfect

In a perfect world, everyone's passions will be cultivated.Everyone's passion will be enough to sustain a good life, a comfortable life.I'm saying this because watching the movie, All About Steve, made me realize that some people just can't pursue their passion because it won't earn a keep.Just like Sandra Bullock who is happy making crossword puzzles,can't get or earn so much respect as she should because she makes crossword puzzles that don't earn much and she is a bit weird as others would describe her,with her red boots, that make her toes feel like happy campers stuck to each other... well that's that..

In memoriam..I remember my grandmother and I honor her, and in my perfect world, she'd still be alive today, because in my perfect wedding day dream, she'd be there.Don't get me wrong,I don't feel bad she had to move on because we all do anyway.It is just that honoring her is like remembering her and all that she had given me, and I am just like the millions of people who still posts obituaries in the broadsheets of people who have been dead 10 years ago commemorating death anniversaries.My grandmother was a simple sewer slash homemaker.She was so simple in life and had very simple joys and a very positive outlook in life, in other words really totally different from me.For all the things she taught me, backstitching including, one that sticks with me and which I hope will not change in me, is that to never lose sight of what is essential ...and she's my Little Prince teacher..She in a sublte way taught me that what is essential is invisible to the naked eye.
and inside my head is a perfect world where she is one of the stars looking down on me.day and night.

Friday and Little Distractions

What is it with Friday? The very thought of it makes us smile..or not..well for the call center workforce maybe it is not the same case always, but nevertheless it is a happy day for many who wants to see their families or friends or significant others.It is a day to go whew or say , what a week, or say thank God this week is over, and then you sit back kick off your smelly shoes (tired feet from all the commute) and drink wine..hmm wine ba or coke pwede na.. basta fizzy. All week I tried to distract myself from getting depressed because Friday was so far away, I rented videos from Video city and had a movie marathon, to try to change the routine and inject something spontaneous in my life. If I had a car I would probably go somewhere and bring my cousins or friends somewhere to have a dinner or isaw sa may kanto, just to breakaway from all the same things that I do everyday, or just to inject that some chaos in a life that should be orderly, but alas not everything we wish can be given to us all at once, ika nga in God's perfect time. Don't get me wrong I don't live a highly functional life and I'm not a career-oriented person because I'd like to think that the creative side of my brain , that part that likes the arts and that hedonistic part wants to rule the rest of my brain.I'm blabbing and yapping but all i want to say is Thank God for Fridays, otherwise we won't feel as grateful like I do right now and I'm writing because it is a Friday the 13th..(and I like ironies)..
