an attempt to avoid dormancy

Just look at that. Since when have I posted a decent post here? I can’t even remember. It would even be more confusing if I define what “decent” is in the context of the blogosphere. Due to the reality that I am finally one of the million of employees working like machines, it is hard to find some time to write. I can ever consider myself lucky right now I am able to come up this. Here are some posts for lost writing time of events.


Anniversary. My mother and father have just celebrated their 40th Wedding Anniversary last August 1, Saturday in the afternoon, at Villa Alzhun, Dauis, Bohol (even if the actual anniversary date is on the third). This Ruby anniversary is just one of the seldom seen testaments that there are things lovely and touching—and hopefully, things that would last. To the Higher Being, bless this family.

Work. As what I have said earlier, I am a working citizen now, paying taxes that even the genius Albert Einstein could not comprehend in his lifetime. The first week of the job is pretty unhurried, nicely slow an understatement, but I know my bosses’ smiles and words of encouragement would not last. I know that being absent on the first day of the job is not a plus factor to my records. I know that someday I will pull every strand of my hair and shout, “Heck! I can juggle but I am no magician!”

Absurdity. I still have a bit of time to write something else so I have included here mundane undertakings a fool would puke if he would know. Because I work in a company that’s slightly above call-center and advertising corporate-look standards, I cut my hair. But because I know I will not be comfortable with how everything looks the same (and smiles the same) with each other, I add another ear piercing. Maybe next time I will wear my faux diamonds. Oh, by the way, my upper set of teeth is in retainers already. Absurd, enough? Tell me.

the bells are ringing

Nope. It’s not the Christmas bells, it’s from the church. Or maybe not, but still, it has the same sense. Someone is getting married. You know who this is, I am pretty sure. One of the very few genuine activists of the university, this woman has shaved off her hair and walked around the campus like nothing has changed. Big deal? Well, she is just one of those who has appeared in Cebu and readied to rally the coming Asean Summit meeting only to find out that it was postponed. Wait, was it the Asean meeting? Forget it. I’ve just received this message in my Friendster’s inbox: “maybe i'm getting married next week! Friday, 24!”

She stated in her message to spread the news and I did. So, I have nothing else to say but congratulations and, ermm, take care!
