Steve is at Portland.  Thank goodness for the wonders of present technology, we had a video call through Skype.  He seems to be settling very well as he already cooked spaghetti for his very first meal. His image through Skype really made me laugh.  Well you can’t blame him because it was his very first meal of the day (lunch and dinner in one).

Hungry Steve greedily takes his first mouthful

By the title itself … yes, someone is leaving on a jet plane.  This time it isn’t me but Steve.  Huhuhu.  He’ll be gone for almost two months.  He’s flying to Portland this Friday.  I know two months will be over before we know it but still the same I just want to whine. Huhuhu.

Now that I got that out, I just wanted to share the song that Steve and I created while I was in Chicago.

A Little Of You With Me

Feeling the breeze upon my face,
Watching busy people passing by,
I walk hurriedly then I stop.

I notice the sun setting behind the scrapers
And the snow on the ground
Hmmm … In them you I’ve found

Chorus:
So far away I wish I could fly across the seas to be with you
Hurry tomorrow let the days slip me by
Bring a little of my love to me

The memories of this place
With each passing day
Wishing these to you I’ve shown
But I look around and smile
Cause I brought a lil of you with me

I brought a little of you with me
In the snapshots of places I’ve seen
In my stories of new friends met
I smile through my laughter and tears
Tomorrow’s brought a little of my love to me

I’ve always been wanting to curl my hair.  Mother dearest has always been against it.  But somehow the winds changed when I suggested it again (though of course she has no control over what I do with my hair, I just wanted her approval). Perhaps it was the influence of Kim Chiu in the TV Series “My Girl,” that she allowed me to perm my hair.  Don’t know how long this would last but I’ve had it for two weeks now.  As long as I don’t comb it, it would last longer (stylist’s advice).  Hahaha!  I love it because no matter how hard the wind blows, I don’t have to comb my hair.  I just shake it out.  It’s unruly and fluffy so it somehow compensates my already limp and lifeless straight hair.

Of course I took a picture of myself.  Vanity vanity … bwahahaha!

It’s been a while since I’ve written.  It’s been a while since Tipoy has written too.    Anyway, I just wanted to share some very amusing experiences I’ve had with cab drivers.

Experience 1:

One day I was running late for a 9am training so I hurriedly hailed a taxi got in and barked my destination to the driver who seemed to me like a harmless man in his late thirties.  Boy did I underestimate him!  Mr. Suave pala itong si kuya!  He started out by saying, “Ma’am are you from Cebu? What’s your province?”  I thought, he was just being friendly so I said, “No I’m not from Cebu.  I’m from Negros Occidental.  How about you?  What’s your province?”  He said he was from Cebu so I thought he was just making small talk. Small talk indeed.  I was completely caught offguard by his next comment he said.  “Oh I thought you were from Cebu because Cebuanas are really beautiful and ma’am I believe your beauty is Class A.  (more…)

I’m writing this now to get this feeling off me.

How do you handle people who despite the fact that you’ve treated them well, go out of their way to be disrespectful.  Actually, I don’t think disrespectful is the right word, I think they think so little of you that they think they can give you an egg and say it’s a chick!  (In other words, they think they can fool you.)

It really gets to me how unjust life has become and that sometimes I’ve played with it too.  I’ve been tolerant of people because I know how they’ve also given much but my tolerance has somehow been abused.  I have been careful not to overstep the boundaries of people but it really gets to me when the very same people you’ve bestowed favors for don’t return the same favor to a colleague or even the same consideration to you.

To this person I’d rather not name:

Have the decency to come up front and say you can’t do it so plans can be made to work around it.  Don’t let others paint a beautiful and pristine picture of you which you can’t live up to.  Have the decency to give others the respect and consideration that’s been bestowed on you.  Don’t make it seem like you’re a victim of circumstance because you’re not.  We make our own circumstances and you’ve made yourself a victim of your own folly.

Facing each day as it comes

Rousing to the sound of the clock

Feeling the sun but not really seeing it

Moving to the chant of “work work work”

Bam bam — click click

Issues bombard the day

Before I know it …

The day is over.

The sun has set.

Did I make a difference?

Tomorrow is another day.

– Don’t mean to sound depressing with this note but if there’s one thing I’ve realized during the past months, when life seems monotonous, take a breather.  Change the scenery and look around.  There’s more to life than work.  Haha! Easier said than done.
