*** Thank you, thank you... I've been enjoying the luxury

of time to do the things I love to do

--> reading!!! bookworm pala ako and i'm loving every second if it! I've finished Graham Greene's THe Power and the Glory (for Philo103), and before I go to sleep tonight I'll surely end na with Mitch Albom's Five People You Meet In Heaven.  Suspended pa sa first few chapters the book I carry around with me whenever mom is dragging me downtown to accompany her - John Grisham's The Firm (w/ Tom Cruise's face on the cover, hehe).

I terribly need a body massage!

...mind massage na din please :p

Starting Nov.30 (see earlier post) I've been sending out surveys (in Excel form) for our I.P. project --- to people I know and I don't. Friendster really helped a lot, and blogs too... Stupid me, wrote a misspelled email ad on the excel. So, should there be people who were kind enough to grant my plea, they would have received a Failure Delivery Notice. And guess when I found out about it? Just tonight! Argh... 7 days! Effort! :-(

it's far easier to face
miles and miles
of distance to trek
just to
be with you


than
watching the inches
of space between

our hands and shoulders
and breathing chests


but never touching

i once made a poem like this. the guy was sitting in front of the girl, and their hands were almost touching...

then the boyfriend called the girl on her fone. harhar.

I heard also a story like this: girl is walking and he saw her. she glanced and saw him too. they walked the path together and up the bridge they went. he wanted to speed off. she wanted leisure walking. so off the guy, he went for he was off to see her girlfriend?!Ü

Philo 103 and Theology is hard to take at the same time.  Especially when Nietzsche & Sartre start talking.

You Are From Neptune

You are dreamy and mystical, with a natural psychic ability. You love music, poetry, dance, and (most of all) the open sea. Your soul is filled with possibilities, and your heart overflows with compassion. You can be in a room full of friendly people and feel all alone. If you don't get carried away with one idea, your spiritual nature will see you through anything.
