Memory Freak

i'm cramming to put as many memories as I can remember for a time capsule. para sa 18th bday nya hehe. That includes a letter I've made. And clippings and photos. Gotta hurry. Dami ko pang projects lined up eh. I just hope i could do everything before i get busy with the arrival. I'm like this because I didn't have many pictures when i was a baby. I don't want to miss out on this one. Dapat well-documented and geez, i really have to organize (soo hard)! Gotta stack rolls of film and boxes for the mementos. These are the only treasures I can share. I hope ma-appreciate when the time comes.

My own I Like List

Just saw a cute book/website called "The Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life" www.encyclopediaofanordinarylife.com and got inspired. Here's my own version of I Like. I'd like to indulge in this because it's Saturday and I'm at work and because I'm missing someone pretty bad.

I liked that he taught me how to use the sharp, pointy part in an ointment cap: to open the darn thing
I liked that he showed me I had a lipstick mirror in my handbag, which I never bothered to open
I liked that we sit next to each other instead of across the table
I liked it when he closes his eyes during an argument, as if it was THE expression of exasperation
I liked how he doesn't show his teeth when he poses for a picture
I liked it when he doesn't want me in the kitchen when he cooks: I pester him kasi
I liked it when he gets awakened by his own loud snoring and sees me laughing at him
I liked that he text when he's in a bookstore to ask if I already got a copy of a fave author's book
I liked that he finishes all my left-overs even if he's so stuffed already
I liked how he watches tv: with brows knitted together
I liked that he invents a language only he understands
I liked how he stands outside the door, in a model pose
I liked that he smells good all the time. Sans perfume.

The one thing I didn't like was not saying goodbye face to face or in his case, eye to eye.

Gilmore Girls & Gratitude

Gilmore Girls is back for a whole new season as well as Alias and One Tree Hill. Yihaa.. I can definitely relate with Lorelai now. I mean I think I'll be that kind of mom - weird, crazy, cool. Hopefully. It's so much fun watching their characters evolved and communicate well. Last Saturday, they were in the same exact situation but they couldn't find each other and both didn't know what was happening with the other. Sigh. Wished I were a little psychic and just know how people are doing especially when they're in so much pain. Instead I'm more psycho. Aww.

Highlight of my day - a printer installed in my work area. I don't know why I'm happy with this seemingly no biggie. Well, little things make me happy nowadays. It's something I need to do to make it thru everyday. I'm thinking of a gratitude blog starting today. I'm grateful for our kasambahay, that's the appropriate Tagalog word for househelp. All the veggies she's preparing and just the thought that there's someone who will help you when you need it is a huge lift. For my worry-free commute in the mornings thanks to Yen. For a wonderful doctor who can be mistaken for a shrink too. She's just soo pleasant. For moonlight every night in my window. I mean if you knew where I used to live, this is really A MIRACLE. And of course, the heartbeat of my baby when I woke up this morning. Nothing beats that. Thank You Lord.
