My Pink Shoelace

Officially on from as I will be visiting the temples in Bangkok …. will keep you guys posted as soon as I can.

As we wander around the shops of Patrunam we ran into a lot of cheap buys, many of which were clothes, shoes, make-ups, bags and lighting fixtures. It was an amazing experience for a shopaholic like me and though we were on a tight budget but still we were able to bring home two bagfuls of clothes and razorbacks (my fave). Might buy a new baby tomorrow if all goes well.

That’s the personal message I have on my Windows Live Messenger used both at work and when am at home (it logs me in automatically the moment my notebook’s turned on). Now this message seem to have captured a few of my friends/colleagues attention, now is that so impossible? I mean couldn’t a rascal of a girl like me fall in love? Am a girl too you know … not like your super lady like, elegant girls but a girl just the same.

There’s this guy back in college who reminds me of Lestat (the image of how Lestat is s’pose to look like) everytime I see him, one cute guy I should say and very nice too. He never looked my way other than that of friends and am happy to say he’s finally done with college and is now a preacher of their religion.

When I saw House of Flying Daggers, I was smitten then and there by Jin played by Takeshi Kaneshiro because he looks just like that guy I fell for in college. *sigh* Both of them out of reach … so am loving them in silence (charoooootttt!!!). Am not giving up my religion for love … that comes first so Lee was out of the picture and Takeshi well … he’s out of coverage area tooo. Waaaaaaaaaa is this my fate? Is this how things are gonna be for me? (Drama -rama !!!)

Bwahahaha … am smiling as I type this post … I could stare at Takeshi all day long if given the chance (just like I would with any beautiful piece of art) . There’s also someone else I could stare at too for who knows how long the difference is with him I know I’ll never run out of things to say and that he’ll never be just another beautiful piece of art, he’s someone I can pour my heart out. Now that’s what I call lllllloooooooovvvveeeee …. *sigh*

In the neighborhood where my friend Josh grew up he said drugs, weeds and whatever you call it is rampant … even before he started high school he already smoked by the time he finished high school he was what people call a drug addict and suffering from alcohol abuse. From syrups, marijuanas and cocaine … you name it he’s tried it … the sad thing about it is he knew what’s wrong with him but he can’t seem to stop. No, in his own words, he doesn’t have the strength to stop … he cannot deny the strong craving … so day in day out he did everything he can … stealing … robbery … everything just so he can buy whatever he needs to buy to satisfy his craving. He has grown thin, was never able to enroll for college, sunken eyes and cheeks. No longer the cute guy next door, but all that changed after 4 years of misery … at the age of 23 he was admitted for alcohol detox somewhere in Malibu. The location, our support, he’s will to overcome it … made the alcohol treatment smooth sailing. Now we have a totally reformed Josh, healthier than he was 4 years ago, happier than he ever was. He’s gone back to painting and arts … and to writing too, the staff at the local rehabilitation center has been very understanding and kind … making the place an easy environment for him. Can’t wait to see him when he’s treatment’s done … after all the pain he has gone through its high time for him to be with us … the people who cared and loved him the most.Can’t wait for you to come home bro …

Eating sweets seem to be our common ground (Doi and Moi) and since am very persnickety when it comes to food we always eat at the safest food chain. Where I understand whats being served and what am eating. Having been away from the gym, I know I’ve grown in size again and will have to work extra hard to lose all these weight I’ve gained during my stay here. Saw an advert for a slimming pill here called Leptovox and am tempted to try it out. Hehehe who knows I might lose weight in a matter of days.

Back in the old office I used to work for, everything was a clutter. Its hard to find where the things are placed as they move from one place to the other. Though we have designated places for them but those people who used them never had the manners to return them back to where they got them. *sigh* It was a mess office supplies
both used, about to be opened and half - used were loitering round the office. No wonder our dean gets so pissed of every now and then.

Am a certified coffeeholic!! Yeah, used to have a notebook once that states “Coffee Addict” on the front cover and my student asked … why’d do you like coffee so much? I said it tastes loads better than beer.

My addiction to coffee started about a year earlier than I started drinking beer, making that around 13 years old …. rough estimate … I started drinking beer at the age of 14 and a half and quit at the age of 21. I love coffee plain and simple … with sugar and cream. It served as my tonic during those long weeeee hours of studying for major exams, during those long  nights of working on papers and other projects and it still serves as my tonic as I work online during the day and during the night.  I was told by a friend once that its amazing how I drink loads of coffee but don’t smoke, apparently they’re s’pose to go hand in hand.

At the age of 12 I had my first mug, nothing special about it … its plain looking but it was a gift so I treasured it. As years wore on, during seminars and school activities and parties what used to be a favorite give away were those cute mini coffee mugs tied with a ribbon and had a customized print on the body. I had loads of those … it became a habit as years wore on that everytime I drop by the glassware section of a mall I almost always end up buying one. Different color, size and design.  Today was no exception … I was looking for a huge one … wherein you can place at least three regular mugful servings in it. I found two actually, one was smaller than the other but it has a very cute packaging … the round container it came in was to die for so I bought it. The other one was what I was really looking for, tall,  can contain 500 ml of coffee and with cute graphics on the body.

Those two above are the mugs I bought earlier … I don’t need two but I can’t decide which one to buy so I bought both. Hehehehe … to add to my collection.

It’s like if ashtray is to smokers then its coffee mugs to coffee addicts like me!

I went out with a friend to accompany her with some shopping responsibilities, hehe. I really didn’t want to go out since I still had a lot to do in order to update some things but she was really persistent. Out of good will (and a little bribery), I a joined her in her quest for good finds so we went to the mall. At least the mall had just opened when we got there because I don’t want to wait for even a few more minutes to get business going, she knows how impatient I can get when things get delayed.

We passed by some designer shops which were classy, she told me she was going to give her aunt something because she received a gift from her as well. She made me guess what but since I was too tired to even think about gifts and things she gave me clue instead.

She told me that she’s going to watch a concert of one of the major pop icons of all time. After some more probing, she told me that the one that’s been playing in the shop is the artist that she’s going to get ready for. In the background, it was Madonna and Justin Timberlake’s hit “4 minutes” was playing. I was in total shock and she laughed at the expression on my face on how surprised I was.

She’s preparing for a trip in the United Kingdom since her aunt purchased some Madonna Tickets Cardiff. I said “Wow”, I couldn’t get believe she purchased some Madonna Tickets and actually get to see her perform live. I asked her how she was able to get some passes and she told me her aunt had some good connections to get at least a place near the stage. Madonna Tickets London is still available and she even wanted me to join but I couldn’t as I still have to prepare a trip in Thailand; which I’m also excited about.

Well, that’s that, she’ll be gone for a week whereas my unpaid leave was already approved. I’m hoping that everything turns out fine and goes out smoothly. This is another chance for us to explore the world and satisfy our craving for traveling.  I’m sure that when we get back from our destinations, we’ll have a whole load of stories (not to mention pictures) to share. I’m already excited just thinking about it.

I was doing my daily duties over the weekend. It’s a freaking weekend and I’m supposed to go out and have fun but I’m just stuck to just lying around doing nothing. Anyway, as I was reading some interesting stuff about a medical magazine that I grabbed out of the corner, I chanced upon some useful information about Prescription Drug Abuse. You can hear about celebrities getting out of Drug Rehab and you’d think how they’d get into this situation. Of course, it doesn’t spare us from anything as well.

 It’s very hard to let go and be free from what you’re used to doing, that’s why it’s called addiction. But then these Addiction Treatment facilities are good since they make you realize how important it is to have control. You need to have discipline in order to have that sense of stability that will let you take charge of things that are more important than temporary satisfaction. The read was good; it opened me to newer things that we rarely talk about.

How strange that Amy Winehouse’s cult contemporary “Rehab” was playing in the background, it couldn’t get any weirder. But as I was reviewing the article, it just makes me wonder if there’s any cure to my current addiction… COFFEE.

During adolescence most teens would experience a certain skin disease called ance vulgaris, often times it continues to adulthood while others were lucky enough to leave it behind as they go into adulthood. Others though seem to experience it at certain times off and on, while women seem to worry more about it than men its safer to say that many drug companies have come up with possible solutions to it. In the market, there’s a wide variety of creams, facial creams and the likes for all sorts of skin disease. But choosing which acne cream would provide the quickest solution is hard so before buying one over the counter it’d be best to consult with a dermatologist first before ending up worsening your condition.

When I thought its all in the past, I thought wrong. The pain I felt a year ago which made me cry like a baby on the floor reoccurred, the only consolation I have is the fact that am on vacation leave so I get to spend time letting my ear rest for a while. Otitis Media, that’s what the doctor said and he was the same doctor I saw last year and just as he said he reminded me again, its either you resign or lose your hearing. How scary can that be?

I’ll think this through … people would say what’s there to think about? Go pack and hit the road … alrighty .. easier said than done.

Ok so first comes the ipod, I’d love to get that pink ipod nano video displayed at iStore and then comes this Polk Audio I-sonic ES2. Imagine being able to tag down music you’ve heard on the radio and then buy them from iTunes and store it on you’re ipod. Isn’t that nice? With an iTunes Tagging enabed HD Radio such as the Florida High Definition Radio stations and those new country music stations you can do just that. When you hear a song you like, all you have to do is simply hit on the “tag” buttong and the song’s info will be saved from your HD receiver to your iPod. Whew!!

The power of technology, now I still dont have an ipod but my boss does and if am not mistaken this was what he was talking about when he asked me to  buy him a sort of ipod dock. Am not even sure if this piece of device is available in Bangkok or if a similar device exist in the market. Its cool and something I’d look forward to buying after I get my own ipod.

~ This song was sang by Albert on one of the videoke sessions we’ve had and I can’t seem to get it out of my head. It’s literally one of the songs thats kept on playing on my head over and over. Weeeeeee ~

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
Bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why don’t we go
Jamaica

Off the florida keys
There’s a place called kokomo
That’s where you wanna go to get away from it all

Bodies in the sand
Tropical drink melting in your hand
We’ll be falling in love
To the rhythm of a steel drum band
Down in kokomo

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why don’t we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo
We’ll get there fast
And then we’ll take it slow
That’s where we wanna go
Way down to kokomo

To martinique, that monserrat mystique

We’ll put out to sea
And we’ll perfect our chemistry
By and by we’ll defy a little bit of gravity

Afternoon delight
Cocktails and moonlit nights
That dreamy look in your eye
Give me a tropical contact high
Way down in kokomo

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why don’t we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo
We’ll get there fast
And then we’ll take it slow
That’s where we wanna go
Way down to kokomo

Port au prince I wanna catch a glimpse

Everybody knows
A little place like kokomo
Now if you wanna go
And get away from it all
Go down to kokomo

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why don’t we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo
We’ll get there fast

That’s where we wanna go
Way down to kokomo

Aruba, jamaica ooo I wanna take you
To bermuda, bahama come on pretty mama
Key largo, montego baby why don’t we go

Ooo I wanna take you down to kokomo

This outdoor post reminded me of that Harry Potter movie where Professor McGonagall disguised as a cat perched on one of the lamp posts outside the home of the Dursleys. It also reminded me of that time when I was working as a student clerk at the HRM department of my school … along the hallway right outside each room is lamp post similar to the one above. When it comes to lighting both indoors and outdoors seems like Premier Lighting is one of the respected brands in the industry what with their 25 year of experience both in home and business needs. I have no clue where those lamp post where purchased by the administration of my old school but they sure look similar to the image above.

Something similar to it also though in black is the lamp post of the house right across mine, they just placed it in yesterday and boy is it shining bright light all over the area. Now we’ll never stumble in the dark.

~ Am on leave … again!!! and this song has been playing on my player since early this morning … over and over .. I can’t seem to get enough of it. Now this is what I call a heavy dose of last song syndrome. ~

Closed off from love
I didn’t need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you’re frozen

But something happened
For the very first time with you
My heart melted to the ground
Found something true
And everyone’s looking round
Thinking I’m going crazy

But I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open

Trying hard not to hear
But they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears
Try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal
Is to keep me from falling

But nothing’s greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness
I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I’m going crazy, maybe, maybe

But I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep (keep) bleeding love (love)
You cut me open

And it’s draining all of me
Oh they find it hard to believe
I’ll be wearing these scars
For everyone to see

I don’t care what they say
I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away
But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein
That I keep on closing (ooh)
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding (ah ah)
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love (ooh ooh)
Keep bleeding (oh ooh ooh)
Keep, keep bleeding love (love)
(Oh) you cut me open and I

Keep bleeding (ah ah)
Keep, keep bleeding love (yeah ah yeah)
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love (oh, I keep bleeding love)
Keep bleeding (I keep)
Keep, keep bleeding love (oh)
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love

Back in college custom t-shirts were in, various clubs, organizations and guilds often have their own kind of shirt. Customized with their own logo, color and print. I was once a president for the graduating class, the president of this club and that … so you can only imagine the hassle I have gone through in setting up group shirts of our members. Where to look for cheap shirts, what the design would be, where will we have it printed, how much would each shirt cost … things like I worry school year after school year. But I must admit it was fun, being able to select the color, the design and the text to be printed though the entire decision was not up to, I still had to consult the body but in the end the final say was mine … felt like I was so in control and I guess I was.

~~ Am a huge music freak and on my way to work this was the song playing in the cab … I can’t help but hum along with it … it’d be nice I guess to be stuck on someone for once … and for a change.

Stuck on you
(I’ve) Got this feeling down deep in my soul that I just can’t lose
Guess I’m on my way
Needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess I’ll be with you till the end
Guess I’m on my way
Mighty glad you stayed

Stuck on you
Been a fool too long I guess it’s time for me to come on home
Guess I’m on my way
So hard to see
That a woman like you could wait around for a man like me
Guess I’m on my way
Mighty glad you stayed

I’m leaving on that midnight train tomorrow
And I know just where I’m goin’
Packed up my troubles and I thrown them all away
Cause this time little darling
I’m coming home to stay

Stuck on you
I’ve got this feelin’ down deep in my soul that I just can’t lose
Guess I’m on my way
Needed a friend
And the way I feel now I guess I’ll be with you ’till the end
Guess I’m on my way
Mighty glad you stayed

I just got back from watching The Dark Knight at the nearest movie house and when I got home, I couldn’t sleep so I tried to update whatever I could update. I was browsing through some social networking sites one Sunday afternoon when I chanced upon my friend’s new pictures for their up-and-coming wedding this August. They looked so happy together with the different poses in the beautiful scenery.

This made me ponder on the future on what may happen to me when the time comes. When I am in the right stage, I plan to find the person that will complete me. However, with a lot of Emergent Church these days it made me ponder if there really is a need for me to get married.  Maybe I could just move in with the guy that I want to spend my life with.  But if ever I get married, I Want a Better Marriage than those usually depicted in the latest newspapers or even tabloids. It’s really hard nowadays because of the different factors that surround and concern relationships. That’s why it’s very important to find a solid foundation to build on in order to foster a strong connection that binds both a man and a woman. So to find a church that will support your realationship is as important as your relationship with your partner.  I wonder if I will be able to find a church in Rancho Santa Fe if ever I decide to live there.  Because I heard that Rancho Santa Fe is the bedroom community of San Diego.  This means that most of the population travels to near by communities to work.  So the population might not be that big to have a lot of churches there.

There are 5 persons I can talk when it comes to life decisions, my aunt, kathy, mitchy (who thinks am a brat and immature), d and daddy joe. Right now am wishing daddy joe’s online so I can talk to him. My ear has been hurting again since last week and I’ve been meaning to see an EENT but not with much luck, schedules were hectic. That toot when there’s a call is causing me a rather searing pain I don’t know if I can stand this any longer, the last time I had this problem the doctor told me up front that its either I quit or lose my hearing plain and simple.

But if I quit where will I go? Teach? the thought itself is already scaring me shitless and to be honest am equipped with the license and the masteral units but somethings holding me back. Am scared. I was told that 2 years in the same position for the same company is too much, too much familiarity, too much comfort and when things like these happen its time to pack up and hit the road.

Hit the road and head where?

Gambling always fascinates me, even when I was a kid. I’d gamble just small amounts in card games despite some reminders from my elders (not my parents) not to do it. There’s just a certain thrill in  it. That’s why the first time I was able to be in a casino (and I was under aged), it just left me in awe with the beautiful lights and the catchy slots and the sounds of chips.

Now, I’ve been intrigued with Online casinos. It makes me wonder how it would feel like to play in the virtual world. Online casinos are a good and convenient way for you to be able to see what is out there. At least, the pressure won’t be the same as that in the real scene. In this case, USA online casinos offers just that.

Friday was my rest day so Jyn and I agreed to meet up at school so I can pay her and so we can withdraw one subject. The last one … Music … my reason was I can’t handle the pressure. Yeah, yeah am a coward I know. So we went to school and was devastated to find out that since its a Friday, the offices were all closed; we went to SM instead to PrimeCare where I saw Momie Lai and her husband (I think) and Razel (a barkada), they didn’t have EENTs on Fridays so we left and went mall strolling. There was an ongoing promo for notebook computers, so there were loads of them on display, there were dancers too painted in silver, and sexy women … strutting their buns carrying notebooks on a sort of runway.

So women were associated long ago with wine and beers (I’ve known that since I was lil), women were also associated with cars … and almost all car adverts have sexy women in the background, women were also associated with jewelry for as old as time … but women and notebooks? Nah that was new to me …  but that was the case last Friday … sexy women in small / tight dresses carrying notebooks walking the make shift runway.

They were also the cause why most of the onlookers were men … wonder if its the notebooks they’re actually looking at or the cute sexy buns?? Hmmmphh!!!

Bet365 Group Limited is a British company that is considered as one of the world’s leading  online gaming companies with over 1.8 million customers in 140 different countries. It  employs over 800 people which made it as UK’s 16th largest private company and one of Uk’s largest betting companies.  They offer online sports betting, poker, casino games, video stream on sporting events and now Bet365 Bingo, yup you guessed it… Bet365 Bingo is an online bingo game.  They have three types of Bingo game which has different prizes and ways
to win which Bingo fanatics will surely love and keep them coming back for more. To give our bingo fanatics on what to expect on the said site here are the types of Bingo games that they will find when they try out Bet365’s Bingo the three types of games are as follows: 90 ball (available in the Jetsetters and Island Hopper room), 90 ball Spanish Variant (available in Carnival room), 75 ball Variant (available in the Explorer room).  For specific information on how to play and win the game, you will have to go to Bet365 Bingo.  Now, now, now, don’t get too excited.  If you are below 18 years old, you are not allowed to play in the site.  Well, yes you might get away with it but I am sorry to inform you that the company has a way to know if you are below 18 years old and once they are able to establish that you are a minor, all your winnings will be forfeited.   I know that it’s kind of unfair but minors aren’t supposed to be gambling.  There are other more important things that kids have to do other than gambling.  Things like going to school and finish your studies.  I know it’s no fun but hey, it’s to prepare you so that you can fend for yourself in the future.

Finding an affordable Orange County drug rehab facility in California is one of the major considerations when the people in that state choose a facility where they will entrust their love ones.  However, people shouldn’t stop at the financial consideration in choosing a rehab facility.  People should also check how these cheap facilities treat their patients. Patients should be treated with respect and utmost care for drug withdrawal could sometimes cause depression which drives addicts to do things that could harm other people and harm themselves.  They also consider what kind of chemical dependencies these Orange County drug abuse treatment facilities have experience in treating for their experience in handling the dependencies on these chemicals will be a great help for the withdrawal and recovery of the patient.  In Orange County narconon, they have developed programs that does not just help their patients free themselves from their dependencies but help them get back on their feet and into the society to face the realities of life and hopefully follow the straight life and not head on back straight to where they started when they lost their way.

Used to believe what you don’t know won’t hurt you and I still do really. But sometimes friendships are not always as black and white as they might to you, sometimes both parties are just not on the equal footing.

Or maybe its my fault for getting judged the way she did, maybe I tell her too much or maybe she has a different scale of what qualifies for being called a mature person and which one falls short.

And maybe I just think highly of her and of what she thinks and values as someone I can call a close friend that when I read what she said it made me cry.  That once again is being immature I guess from her perspective … where can I find friends who’ll just damn accept you for what you are and not treat you any less?

I feel like I’ve been the given the worst review ever from someone I least expect it.

On the side note … the hell with what she thinks, we’re friends at least I think we are but then again people are born to have that instinct to judge wittingly or unwittingly and she can have all her say, that’s her opinion after all. But am not living my life according to standards set by others; am living it the way I see fit and quite frankly am comfortable to say am not doing a bad job.

I don’t know if you have heard of the term Nouveau Riche.  It is actually used for social class distinctions between those who acquired their wealth in his or her generation and those people who came from families who has been wealthy for multiple generations.  Nouveau Riche means “new money” in English.  The first time I heard of the term was in the movie Titanic.  It was used as a derogatory term for Rosie O’donell’s character by Kate Winslet’s social class who were the “old money” in the movie.  I wonder how the people in the past would react now that there are a lot of parvenus (people who has recently or suddenly risen to an unaccustomed position of wealth or power and has not yet gained the prestige, dignity, or manner associated with it) like Rosie O’donell’s character. “New money” people like Ronald Reagan and the likes of David Filo and Jerry Yang who are the creators of Yahoo!.  I bet they will be raising their eyebrows even higher when they hear of a university that was named Nouveau Riche whose sole purpose is to help individuals who want to improve their socioeconomic standing through investing in the real estate industry, which is one of the most lucrative industries these days not only in the US but all over the world.

So how do they do it?  They do it through courses that were designed to teach their students “how-to” real estate investment concepts and strategies. Understand the advantages and disadvantages of several short-term and long-term real estate investment strategies.  On a personal note, I admire Nouveaux Riches more for they acquired their wealth through their own abilities.  Although, I’m not saying that those whose families remained rich all these time shouldn’t be admired.  It’s just that the recognition to “old money” shouldn’t go to just one individual.  The recognition should go to their family for it was a shared effort to keep their status.

When it comes to dieting plenty of women would somehow resort to the “drink this and lose weight fast” option. Gym, yoga, pilates and who knows what else are often times regarded as a handful, one of the catching adverts I’ve seen is of beverage suppose to have a substance called L carnitine that helps boost metabolism and burn fat. Well after doing  bit of googling online for diet and getting slim came across a drug thats FDA approved which like many prescription drugs is an acting drug. It centers on the brain and is said to suppress one’s appetite and is said to have helped many obese people. Phentermine without prescription is available to anyone willing to consider trying it, the price is something I have not looked into but I hope its not as much as my one year gym membership.

Homes with gas fires or electric fires installed not only provides ease and comfort to our adobe, but the ways that they are being made with different designs adds color and beauty to wherever they are installed in the house. Gas fires are commonly used heating appliances which varies either in traditional and modern different designs, sizes and prices. They are considered to be modern devices which provide a comfortable heating system in the comfort of our own homes.  Manufacturers also produce varieties of gas fires and heating devices which cater to a lot of home users and even for establishments alike. We must ensure though that we are using efficient and reliable gas fires to protect the safety of our homes. Proper installation and maintenance should be considered. Have them checked from time to time from any possible irregularities in its condition. We should always carefully choose not only based on price range but we should also consider the quality and performance of the heating appliance. Efficiency and safety are the best things to consider. It is also advisable to consult technical experts to take charge of any possible problems that you might encounter with its use. After all, the comfort of using gas fires does not only stop in its usability but also with its safety.

Faery Dancing caught on with the parchment I have on the site and am amazed to find her a Sage and I assume a Pink lover like me.  We both didn’t agree on the title though, never thought of myself as Promiscuous, heck am what people would call NBSB. So contradictory with the Promiscuous thingy …

And I was touched by this 2nd parchment she has on her blog; touched in the same manner this parchment touched her.

The second parchment is more likely of who I am … not much but its all of me.

My first class was okay, I mean it went well. Other than the fact that I tried buying a drink only to find out that I left my freaking wallet at home. What a shame!!!

The second class was okay I guess, I seem to run out of adjectives here, but it was okay really, Mykerts and I are in the same class and I’m taking over the second half of her report which am gonna deliver next Saturday.

My third subject is Music in Special Education, our professor is a musical genius. No Kidding!!! Has a bachelors degree in Music, Masters in Musicology and a Ph. D. in Ethnomusicology and at the same time a degree in Music Therapy.

She started playing the piano at the age of 3, was able to read musical notes first before the letters of the alphabet, finished college at the age of 17, was sent to Germany and Melbourne on scholarships and has had orchestral lectures all over the world. Her first grandchild, a 9 year old boy, is now Austria on a scholarship, at the tender age of 9 he’s already conducting orchestras!!!

The downside : Her marriage was a failure.

One of the things she shared with us, she can’t seem to stop competing against her husband. She wants to be on the one on top, she joined the US Navy coz her husband was in the Navy and became a Lt. Col. by rank and is a master marksman. Whew!!! She said her gift was never much of a blessing but a curse, she never had a normal childhood.

So on our discussion we were given hand outs and as there were only 8 of us, students, she asked each one of us to read one paragraph and then we’d discuss. I was the first.

Are you a graduate of CNU? I said, “No”
Are you an English major? I said. “Yes”
Are you an English teacher? I said, “No”

What are you doing now? I said, “Am working in a call center.”
Why are you wasting your time in that job? I was muted!

We discussed and I find her course requirements quite impossible to achieve.
A portfolio and a recital. The recital’s not gonna be us but we’ll have to look for special children and teach them music for the recital.

So teach the blind to play the guitar, or teach the deaf mute to dance and what not. I know this can be done, after all I took SPED to teach Special Children. What am scared of is where I’ll get the time to meet them, where I’ll get the patience to endure, and what am I gonna teach?

Damn!!! I don’t play any musical instruments, I can sing in the comforts of my bathroom, I can sign a bit but thats about it. Gosh!!! Reminds me of what Carrie said … “I’m worth nothing.”
