chocolate withdrawal

i grudgingly admit: i'm an addict.

i thought chocolate addiction was a myth. now, i stand corrected. i'm on my third week of chocolate deprivation and it's very, very hard! in the last three weeks, i've only eaten hershey's kisses and reese's thrice. that means, once a week... well, not bad but my goodness! i want one right now! my hands are itching to get to my chocolate stash!

when it becomes a dream no more

when it becomes a dream no more
and he'll ask me to be with him

my heart would cry out
and say...

(i'm afraid to say
what i want to say)

i'm not sure,
no,
i don't know

it happens, karma

karma has manifested itself today.

a couple of months ago, several of my friends started attending a christian fellowship. some of them attended reluctantly but others welcomed the chance. however, there was this one guy who was probably thinking that it was corny and at times, made fun of their once-a-week fellowship night. it was truly irritating to hear him and i felt bad for my friends. they didn't deserve such "scorn." ok, so scorn is a heavy word. i'll correct it and say, they didn't deserve to be made fun of.

but today, i saw karma hit him bulls-eye. of course, to impress a girl one's courting, one has to do whatever was asked of him. now, what happened was this girl invited him to attend her fellowship group and that is one request he couldn't deny the girl!

hahahaha

so! sorry, can't help laughing...

definitely a small world

a couple of months back, we heard about a college student in virginia killing several students and teachers in his school. it had come as a shock not only to the residents of that community but to the whole world. questions had been raised and others had gone unanswered. with that tragedy, comfort where taken and received from friends and families, even from people unknown. the event has touched the lives of many people. never did i know that it would touch mine, however small the connection was.

a friend of mine, who is based in the states now, and i were chatting online when he suddenly got distracted with something. i thought it was just a lag with the connection. when he came back a bit later, he told me that he just saw on tv that the brother of his childhood friend was one of those who were killed. it was really a sad night for the two of us knowing somebody one of us knows died on that tragedy. the body was to be brought to his hometown when everything was finished.

i never knew i could have a connection with that tragedy, but i guess i was wrong. then again, all of us have a connection because we live in the same world. how we treat our fellowmen has an adverse effect on everybody, after all, the world definitely is getting smaller and smaller everyday.

30-seconds of fame

i got to dance onstage at a bar last night! hahaha

unfortunately, i have no proof of that except for the witnesses at the dance floor.

ghost in the picture

i'm afraid that my officemate might be right in thinking that i might have taken a photo of a ghost in our hotel room when we arrived there the other night. i say might because i haven't looked at the picture yet and i guess, i'm scared to look at it and find out that it could be true. what was scary about it, really, is that the hotel was once was a bunk house for the american navy who occupied the base before. the other thing is that there's an acacia tree in front of our hotel room window. spooky!

curls

i just got my hair curled last sunday. i didn't really expect it would such be a big hit at the office. i'm glad the curls actually looked good on me. an offcemate even said that i looked like a brazilian when i sport a wet look. wow! the curls added volume to my previous very fine, long, somewhat wavy hair. i'm thinking of making this my look for the whole year because i really, really love it! the hour spent thinking about it at the parlor and the two and half hours spent enduring the chemicals on my head paid off! i just have to learn how to use the mousse now. if only my crush would see me now! haha just kidding....
