TUNI, ALL I NEED IS TOTO!) anyway, here goes.... 1. Go on a road trip, or any 4-hour drive town AWAY from singapore. I dont want buses, trains or boats. I want a real road trip, cdo style. 2. Play scrabble. I dont know why but i want to play scrabble. 3. Watch movies, as in dvd movies. I want to watch moulin rouge again. I want to watch phantom of the opera again. I want to watch harold and kumar, wanted, and all the recent movies i missed. 4. I want to paint my nails black. 5. I want to join capoeira here in singapore. normally i want to imagine that i'd do fancy things like go on a holiday in maldives, go on a cruise and whatnots! haha! seriously though, i decided to make a list of things i can do right now. so items 2 and 3 were actually 'materialized.' God must've heard my scrabble cry last week. i was visiting my housemate michelle's room to borrow some books (yes, im a hardcore book reader now) when i found her disney scrabble on her bed-it was visibly laid out on her bed like an offertory. without hesitation i picked it up and claimed one-night ownership of it. i can't remember the last time i played scrabble, siguro high school, or college. but i remember the rules of course. this disney scrabble is so much fun cuz you can actually spell out disney character's name (obviously i'm good at it) and you get double word score! i played all by myself because oue said i've gone crazy. so i had imaginary opponents"oue" and "brian" and without question, i won. of course. three nights later karen and mapet had no choice but to play scrabble with me. and obviously, without question, karen won. (we don't need scrabble to know who's good and has wider vocabulary, let's just look at our grade school and high school academic attainment!) second thing: i watched movies! gay movies to be specific. gay art films/movies on youtube.com in 12 parts to be more specific. after two movies, i already have a favorite line "it's only love. what's everyone so scared of?" painting my nails black is very easy, i just need to find time to buy that black nail polish! then there's the road trip and capoeira thing. i'm putting them off the list FOR NOW since i know there's no time at all. but we'll see. i know God will always make a way when there seems to be no way. =) another thing i sort of want to do is to wean off alcohol. 5 days is a good start. the last beer i had was in sentosa with karen, mapet and joanne last tuesday. and now its sunday. and i didn't dare touch my jd at home. i will try to hit 2 weeks without it and i can, i'll carry it on until mid august. or when brian comes back. oh god, work is crazy. i'm on my toes now cuz i need to. i've lost focus again and i'm scared for my career life. God help me. GOOD NEWS KAREN my beautiful friend is going to be a temp barista. and guess which starbucks? one fullerton, my favorite starbucks in sg. (nothing beats starbucks rcbc but of course coffeebean is still my love.) too bad there's construction going on so you can't really see the view of the river. congratulations kar!!! i'm so proud of you, my new barista friend! yay! =) (by the way, karen used to work at czhech embassy! she is my diplomat barista friend! haha!) UNCLE ERWIN, mother superior's younger brother is coming over to singapore and i'm going to see him on tuesday! and he's bringing me cigarettes! yay! (yeps, i'm smoking again, =( blame it all on mapet!) i can't wait to see him! I THINK I'M STARTING TO LIKE KIDS cuz i held one of our customer's baby this afternoon. i held it like it was mine. or him, i held him like he was mine. "him" pala, not "it". pero yeah, i think i am open to the idea of having a baby eventually. BUT then i'm thinking, how do you raise a child? i mean feeding it and changing diapers is easy, you can always hire a nanny. but raising is a different thing. raising, as in how do you discipline your own child? how do you tell her/him about life, sex, death and all the bad things on earth? how do you teach her math and science (oh god, this i'm so scared of!) most of all, where do you get all the patience? (especially at night when he decides to become a monster and cry for no reason at all, would you, like, just slap him for him to shut the eff up? or just cradle him in your arms until you've gone deaf from all his crying?) anyway, this is good news, at least i am starting to open my heart about this "child" issue (this is all mother superior's fault, she wants a grandchild already. my goodness, ma, please not me!) anyway. photos of the day: <a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_scDpo6HdjsU/SIN8XRwqQbI/AAAAAAAAA1I/G_ud9Rusp6k/s1600-h/15072008(004).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225156732026241458" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp0.blogger.com/_scDpo6HdjsU/SIN8XRwqQbI/AAAAAAAAA1I/G_ud9Rusp6k/s200/15072008(004).jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_scDpo6HdjsU/SIN8XnEKnUI/AAAAAAAAA1Q/ew6hkmmxrVg/s1600-h/15072008(009).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225156737745198402" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_scDpo6HdjsU/SIN8XnEKnUI/AAAAAAAAA1Q/ew6hkmmxrVg/s200/15072008(009).jpg" border="0" /></a> <a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_scDpo6HdjsU/SIN8Xq16qrI/AAAAAAAAA1Y/O4G0fjvD6zA/s1600-h/15072008(007).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225156738759174834" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_scDpo6HdjsU/SIN8Xq16qrI/AAAAAAAAA1Y/O4G0fjvD6zA/s200/15072008(007).jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_scDpo6HdjsU/SIN8X7YqOuI/AAAAAAAAA1g/07KBLRzzaYo/s1600-h/15072008(016).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225156743199865570" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_scDpo6HdjsU/SIN8X7YqOuI/AAAAAAAAA1g/07KBLRzzaYo/s200/15072008(016).jpg" border="0" /></a> look how bad the weather was!!!! (the reason why we had to find shelter at the bar! haha!) ps. everyone of the now-defunct BAM is going to pansol on august. i'm so tempted to go but obviously i can't. i hope they serve "PASTA IN THE MORNING" especially for b1. haaay, i miss you all guys. it was nice to talk to you last night. =)Ronarons™http://www.blogger.com/profile/09590533004671010211ronarons@gmail.com
