Ayup na title yan *kamot ulo*

I love conversations, from philosophical to nonsensical.

But... I dunno. Somehow the feeling wanes everytime I talk with him.

Weird.

===

Julai... *hugs* If there's anything I can do -- be your yosi/beer/coffee/Kitaro buddy, anything -- name it. Para sa'yo, I'll make my schedule free. 

Yes, I did it again. *insert Britney song here*

Hah. Yesterday afternoon.

Reasons... well, unfortunately, I can't post them here.

Saved my testimonials though. Here's two of them:

From Julie:

ito ang isa sa ilang mga tao na nakatikim na ng good and bad side ko (ooh, now that sounded pretty, err.. sensual. hehe). bait itong si mamu, albeit brutal makipag-away sa kapatid. matakaw gaya ko, kasama ko dati sa yosihan at inuman (nung nagyoyosi pa ko), pati sa mga blind date na palpak (aba, ikaw talaga ang gusto ni
soliven!), sa CMFR (memories), basta... marami na kami pinagsamahan nito! one of the good things about my friendship with her is that we both know each other's good and bad side. ilang beses na nga ba kita napaiyak mamu? hehe. hindi mamu ang turing ko dito, parang kapatid na ka-edad lang, kasi unlike kate, marunong siyang magluto. pwede ka nang mag-asawa! moo, pagdasal mo na maging kami para marami ka pang ikwekwento. hehe. god bless palagi in every sense of it all!  mwah! love you!

From Pat:

She's everyone's "mamu". Hindi kaya sha napapagod? i bet deep down, nakaka pagod din na lapitan ka ng kung sinu sino kapag may problema sila. Pero si mamu, tatanggapin ka lang niyan. kahit anong klaseng kwento pa ang ibahagi mo sa kanya: mapait, masaya, malaswa, etc. makikinig lang siya sayo. tapos minsan nagbibigay ng advice. minsan naman, pag alam niyang karamay lang ang hanap mo, tahimik lang sha. tatabihan ka lang niya, aalukin ng yosi, aalukin ng hug. ganun ka simple lang. nakakalambot ng puso. pero higit pa doon, alam ko na tuwing merong lumalapit sa kanyang may problema, pinagdadasal niya. kaya ako, pag may problem na di ko na kaya, lapit lang ako kay mamu. alam ko kasi malakas siya kay Lord.  thanks cleng!

*sniff*  I love.

Halaw sa tunay na mga pangyayari... well, ayon kay Micholle.

Teacher: How does nuclear energy works?
Student: Ma'am, di ba walang S?
Teacher: Ang alin? Ang "does"?

Tanginang punch line yan.

Sabaw, pare.  Sabaw.

Got this from Alloy's e-mail:

If marriage means that, I'd rather stay single. Thank you very much.

Good thing that article was from the 1950s. 

Funny thing though.  After everything that I've gone through, I still believe in marriage, especially when I see couples from my community, who are married for more than twenty years, still holding hands.  It's amazing because I know these people for six years now.  When I think about it, I often find myself astonished at the fact that they're still together despite their histories, their weaknesses, their fears.

No kidding.

Along the way, I get to realize that it's not just love that binds them.  It's something more powerful than that.

*sigh*

By the way, I remember this wedding I attended last December.  Fr. Alex (one of the few priests I respect) said this during the homily:

"Husband, do not EVER ask submission from your wife unless you've fully given your life to her just like Christ did for His Church."

Beautifully said, if you ask me.

Ten Top Trivia Tips about Rachel Clare Mahinay!

Sunscreen
by Baz Luhrmann

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of '99, if I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be it. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proven by scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable than my own meandering experience.  I will dispense this advice now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth -- oh, never mind.  You will not understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded.  But trust me.  In 20 years, you'll look back at photos of yourself and recall in a way you can't grasp now how much possibility lay before you and how fabulous you really looked. 

You're not as fat as you imagine.

Don't worry about the future, or worry but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubblegum.  The real troubles in your life are apt to be things that never crossed your worried mind, the kind that blindside you at 4pm on some idle Tuesday. 

Do one thing everyday that scares you:  Sing. 

Don't be reckless with other people's hearts.  Don't put up with people who are reckless with yours.

Floss.

Don't waste your time on jealousy.  Sometimes you're ahead, sometimes you're behind.  The race is long and in the end, it's only with yourself. 

Remember the compliments you receive, forget the insults.  (If you succeed in doing this, tell me how.)

Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.

Stretch.

Don't feel guilty if you don't know what you want to do with your life.  The most interesting people I know didn't know at 22 what they wanted to do with their lives.  Some of the most interesting 40-year-olds I know still don't.

Get plenty of calcium.  Be kind to your knees.  You'll miss them when they're gone.

Maybe you'll marry, maybe you won't.  Maybe you'll have children, maybe you won't.  Maybe you'll divorce at 40, maybe you'll dance the funky chicken on your 75th wedding anniversary.  Whatever you do, don't congratulate yourself too much or berate yourself either.  Your choices are half chance, so are everybody else's.

Enjoy your body, use it every way you can.  Don't be afraid of it or what other people think of it.  It's the greatest instrument you'll ever own.  Dance even if you have nowhere to do it but in your own living room.

Read the directions even if you don't follow them.

Do NOT read beauty magazines.  They will only make you feel ugly.

Get to know your parents, you never know when they'll be gone for good.  Be nice to your siblings; they are the best link to your past and the people most likely to stick with you in the future. 

Understand that friends come and go.  But for the precious few, you should hold on. Work hard to bridge the gaps in geography and lifestyle because the older you get, the more you need the people you knew when you were young. 

Live in New York City once, but leave before it makes you hard.  Live in Northern California once, but leave before it makes you soft. Travel. 

Accept certain inalienable truths: prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old.  And when you do, you'll fantasize that when you were young, prices were reasonable, politicians were noble, and children respected their elders.

Respect your elders.

Don't expect anyone else to support you. Maybe you have a trust fund, maybe you have a wealthy spouse.  But you never know when either one might run out. 

Don't mess too much with your hair, or by the time you're 40, it will look 85. 

Be careful whose advice you buy, but be patient with those who supply it.  Advice is a form of nostalgia.  Dispensing it is a way of fishing the past from the disposal, wiping it off, painting over the ugly parts, and recycling it for more than
its worth.

But trust me on the sunscreen.

Yah, I know.

Argh. And I haven't changed my layout yet. Ngarl.

I want to do an Bonnie Bailey-inspired layout. Kaso inunahan na 'ko ni Kate.   Oh well, since yebatribe naman ang naka-feature, okay na 'ko. Hehe.  As usual, dyosa na naman si Kate ng sangkahtmlan.

Sumamba tayo, mga kapatid. Hehe.
