One of the things
that makes me happy
is the freedom to sip
a cup of hot swiss miss
while crossing the busy streets
of Japan.
I learned that today between meeting
deadlines and rushing about.
Never mind violating the
rules of good manners for
the Japanese. I was happy.

toilet humor
warning: gross content
===============
I am an irregular person. Yup! Among the things irregular about me, I have a very irregular, erratic bowel movement. I've been like this as far as I can remember. If my heart has a mind of its own, the same is true with my intestines. It has its own time and rhythms that I can not will it to do something for me, in my schedule. It can not be hurried.
But today, i have a deadline! Poop before 12 noon or perish!
I need it to get permission to sell food on our university's upcoming Harvest Festival.
And I've been stuffing myself with fiber and stomach-aggravating liquids but to no avail.
My body won't cooperate! I am drowning already! hehehe!
Grabe! It seems that inside, I have a dead end!

October 7, 2004
I am quite confused if one should use the word CELEBRATE or MOURN for a death anniversary. I would have settled for COMMEMORATE but I find it inadequate a word devoid of feelings. Anyway, today two years ago, my sister Ambel died.
Her death so sudden, it was a shock for all of us.
Even until now, I still sometimes hope that she was just abducted by aliens, or was involved in an international conspiracy that she had to be placed in an witness protection program and given a new identity and relocated somewhere faraway. I am still hoping that some outrageous reason had salvaged her from death.
During her wake, I was somehow hoping that the coffin would move, I was praying for a miracle that would bring her back to life like Lazarus. I was hoping that some movement would prove that the doctors were wrong when they declared her dead. Sa isip ko, natutulog lang sya. And when she wakes up, her smile will turn our tears from sorrow to joy.
But it never happened.
I always thought we still have time, a lot of it. I always thought we still have time to take a lot of pictures together, to exchange clothes, to quarrel, to laugh and cry our hearts out. I always thought that since we teased each other about pimples, we still had time to complain about wrinkles and varicose veins. I always thought we still have time to grow old together.
Kami na lang pala ang tatanda.
Through her death, she reminded me to use my time well. She taught me to value my time, to cherish every moment, this very moment because it may be my last second, minute, hour, day. She also taught me not to waste it on anger, on negative things.
Happy 2nd Anniversary!
May her soul rest in peace.
=)
