walk-thru

I found it quite amusing to see something like this:

Personally, I'd rather go inside the store where there's airconditioning than buy my food outside where I still need to park the car. I always see this counter unmanned and with no customers. That's been my observation since I can't remember when. It was only on February 14, 2005, however, that I actually took this picture. So imagine my surprise this morning when I saw this:

And I actually asked the McDonald's peronnel if what I saw was really happening. I just had to take this picture. Maybe to keep myself reminded that I may not always get some other people's logic. Haha.

summer lovin', summer time

Summer is definitely here. Back are the days when taking a bath or a shower is useless. Even after I towel dry myself, I start sweating again. So my solution? Not take a bath at all. Nah! Just kidding! I just cannot not take a shower at least twice a day these days. And my heater will be left unused for the next couple of months or so.

Summer is actually a dreaded time of the year for me. Aside from the fact that money is needed to be able to go on a really nice vacation, I'm usually disappointed with myself. Why? Because I do not have the guts to wear what I've been dreaming to wear. Yeah! Those two-piece bikinis. Oh how I'd love to see myself having the perfect tan because I wore the right outfit.

Don't get me wrong. I've always been comfortable with my body. It's just that some girls make me feel insecure. I know my body is not perfect. I don't even have good skin. But I also know others have no right to look down on me because they're better. Oh well, maybe I should stay away from FHM and Cosmo for a while (and please say some of the girls' bodies in those mags are less than perfect and some of the pictures were actually edited...hehe).

And maybe I should start planning for a nice get-away to Bora or El Nido. And buy myself a nice set of bikini. Sinong sasama? Sana may pera tayo! Haha!

what makes you feel great?

I was unusually up at 6am this morning. I rarely get the chance to listen to Chic and Del's Morning Rush over at RX, so I was glad to hear them today. During the show, Chico asked Delamar (and Sarah of Radio One) -- out of the blue -- what makes you feel great? Del answered something like -- "the music that makes me dance in the morning, the ones that perk me up at the start of the day." Nice one. If I were asked the same question, I wouldn't be able to answer right away. Which is kinda sad, really. Don't get me wrong, though. There are so many things that make me happy and content with my life. But at this point, I cannot say exactly what feels great.

Hhhmmmmm on the other hand, a massage would be wonderful. Wink!

How about you, what makes you feel great?

pope's demise

Upon hearing that the Pope's health was gravely declining, I've been keeping up with the news. Last friday night, after the Rotary meeting, I watched the local news. I was telling Mhel that we need to pray for him so that he will recover soon. It would be scary to lose the Pope. Now that a lot of issues are being debated upon.

On Saturday night, I couldn't sleep (after I power napped WHILE watching the movie Be Cool. We watched after our usual saturday badminton games). I decided to watch the news over CNN and people have started to go over at the St. Peter Square. Then I realized that the Pope's time is slowly coming to an end. I technically joined the vigil. At 4am, sunday, I slept with a heavy heart. My eyes were droopy I just had to get some sleep. And at 525am, I received a text message from my brother saying that the Pope has died. I tuned in to CNN again, and the message was confirmed. I didn't cry. But I was overcome with sadness. He was already dead when I fell asleep. Just the idea gave me the goosebumps. I did not pray that he may rest in peace, for I know that he has always been at peace with himself and the world. And that I am sure he went directly to the Lord. I prayed and gave thanks for a wonderful and loving man that he was.
