We Could Have It All...

For the coming Easter Sunday, for a new beginning, this is a very nice, meaningful, song for those who can relate...

Easier said than done.  Must be too good to be true...  On the second thought however... hmmm...

Not Once... But Twice!

I was apprehended just yesterday, twice!  The first instance was because of my passenger, my beloved mother, who did not put on her seat belt.  I always reminded her that but on that day, I did not bother to as I thought she made it already a habit.  Good thing, the two MMDA traffic enforcers let go of us after showing them my ID... but not before giving them my stock of playing cards. Waaahhh!

The second time was worse:  beating the red light.  Actually, I did not see the traffic light.  It was a small intersection that until now I am still wondering if that traffic light is really visible to the drivers.  I could still not believe that I did not see it!  Must it be that the light was no longer working when I approached that intersection?  Nevertheless, we are still fortunate that nothing bad happened to us.

At first though, the traffic police was intimidating when he demanded for my driver's license.  But when I identified myself (again...) and showed both my ID and license, he mellowed and just asked us if we usually ply that route.  He did not bother to scrutinize my blurry answer and just let go of us.

I was traumatized by those incidents!  I'm afraid I might not be lucky the next time...

I'm Driving Again!

It's been a week since I started driving again, this time, here in the unpredictable roads of the Metro Manila jungle.  It was quite an experience!  Mind you, those who are faint-hearted should never ever try it.  Take it from me...

Big, Big Sale of MOA Is Coming!

Once again, SM Mall of Asia will be having its few three-day sale, which if my memory serves me right, is their first for this year.  I will surely not miss this event for anything!  This is the only moment when  the shopaholic in me will splurge in my hard-earned (as in!) money without feeling guilty at all.

To those who are also going there this coming Friday, see yah!

Finally, My Summer Vacation Officially Starts... Today!

I just had my last but definitely not my least final examination this afternoon.  Actually, I thought I would finish it all last week yet.  But it turned out, my examination for my last subject was actually scheduled, March 26, thus, prolonging my agony.  Nevertheless, it's now over!  Hence,  by virtue of the power vested in me, I now declare my summer vacation... open for chuva and everything!

I am so excited!  Tomorrow, my mama and I will head to Baclaran church, have some shopping somewhere thereafter, and in the late afternoon, I will be attending a classmate's birthday celebration.  That's just a few of the things that will keep me busy right before this month ends.

But not so fast, guia!  Yeah right... I still have some audit observation memoranda to finish for my special audit engagement. Huhuhu :(

Are We Really In Danger?

Another explosion of an overheating reactor was reported by CNN Asia just this morning.  Authorities here in our country downplayed rumors about radiation that have been circulating thru text messages since yesterday.  But are they  (including those in Japan) not just trying to calm the public so as to prevent massive panic when they themselves may be nervous already?

If you read the words behind the news, something must be fishy already.  Take these for instance: seawater was used as a "desperate" attempt to contain the damage; radiation levels at the plant have "increased to levels that can impact human health"; "there is no significant effect but we are monitoring situation so we can advise officials on what is the best action"; and so on and on.

For now, what we can do are to pray, move on with our daily lives in accordance with the teachings of God, as well as, be vigilant of what is going on.. :(

Is It The End of the World?

My officemates and I have been joking about the effect of the recent calamities that hit Japan and even some parts of the world.  We were already planning of doing some things that we were not able to do ever in  our own respective lives and/or indulge in things that we having been hopelessly depriving ourselves of  (e.g., food, shopping, and... and sex included! lol!).  Well, trying to lighten up may be our way of coping with the anxiety and fear of what is happening around us.

But seriously speaking, just thinking about the possibility that the world is already ending makes me ponder about life... and death, as well.  Death is so scary, and so certain..  I hope it won't be too soon.. I still want to enjoy life with my loved ones...

Hence, not to soon... Please...
