Final episode of the year - so it seems

I am having this feeling that I have to at least write something before the year ends and I have totally forgotten to even visit my OWN blogsite. Pathetic, you say? Yes. Yes. I agree with you my furry friends. You might have thought that I have abandoned posting what has been going on with my quaint life (or the lack of it).

For one, I am trying to make changes in my life. Radical changes if you are like me who has spent a great number of years chasing that kind of love everybody craves for. Forgetting that quality of life and the kind of person has a lot to do with how the chase would turn out.

Fast forward, my life right now? Is anything and everything BUT void of love. I wish I could say that "I am a new man". But I can't. For one, I am not a man. Second, I am still with my old self, only happier and more hopeful of what each morning brings. You should try it sometime, my furry friends, that is, if you haven't found that right person you are willing to live with for the rest of your existence. It's invigorating and intoxicating - hence, it's called partnership - for life.

It's true that you can always wait and wait until the bucket drops on you and poof! you're gone. Now that is sad. Thing is, you can always wait - but make sure you look around for possibilities. You may not notice that what you have been looking for was always there in front of you or even beside you. As what I have penned in front of this site, it is never too late to shine or achieve farther than where you are... that rings true too when it comes to finding that right fit for your other glove.

But I am not drawing a picture-perfect life here. I am just encouraging you, my furry friends, life need not be spent alone or by your lonesome. Life is happier spent with the one you adore, with the one you first smile at the minute you wake up in the morning, the one you look forward to seeing at the end of the day, and the one who loves you for all that you are regardless of your shortcomings and goings.

It can be pretty scary some days knowing that not all relationships are guaranteed to last. But come to think of it, all relationships can have a lifetime warranty in case it needs to get fixed. I say I am signing up for the latter then. At least I know that the cause will just be human error.

So, my furry friends, one thing I learned, Life is not just for the living..but for the loving and the lov-ed.

As the song says, "if you are the reason for all that I have been through, then I am thankful for the day before you.."

Ponder Yonder

It's been awhile my furry friends. I know, I know, I have been the "baddest", "worstest" , the "procrastinatest" blogger that ever existed. So bite me. Ha! Or like what Bart would say, 'Eat my shorts!'...

BUTTTT...c'mon now, we all have personal lives, eh? And mine just happened to have taken some major changes. Had to have a turnabout so to speak.

So, pardon me my furry friends, if I had to take care of some reality tasks I needed to do - Like: moving continents! It's not just moving apartments this time, not just moving down the street. Or even just moving cities. Yep, there was a lot of moving around... and I mean really around! Sheesh! Stop the running around will ya?! I am not! Ok! I am making conversations again!!...

Let me just share with you at this time about my so-called airport experience in one of the major North American cities - it was my first time to be in that airport. And hopefully, for the life of me, if I needed to pass by thru that airport again, heaven forbid, that I survive the whole experience again or maybe I should just wear an armored suit for extra protection.

That airport was packed. By people. By food kiosks. And I mean, each corner you turn, there's a food kiosk!.. Are Americans hungry all the time that they need to be fed all the time? I wondered. Actually I still wonder.

If you are transiting thru that airport (name withheld for obvious reasons), and if you need to pass by from one end to the other...most likely by the time you reach the other terminal you were supposed to be - you'd be smelling like a donut or a bbq rib or a roasted chicken or better (or worst) yet - all three!... And most likely you've gained like 10 pounds by the time you get to your destination.

So here's the thing, that airport, with all the food kiosks all over, you'd think that most likely, the planes wouldn't be offering any more snacks to passengers, but hell no! The passengers needed to be fed! Again!.. You'd think that the passengers will just say 'no thanks' to peanuts, cola, juice, candies... - Wrong!...they were hungry as soon as the seatbelt lights were turned off. Tsk. Tsk.

What is happening to the world? Uhm, I don't think anybody can answer that. I try not to wonder anymore. Makes you think what ever happened to wonderwoman, eh? Ha! there my mind is starting to wonder...

So, in the meantime my furry friends. Continue whatever it is you're supposed to be doing. And procrastinate in visiting this blog. Not much in here...so move along...go about your business...as I go about mine.

And then maybe, next time, our paths will cross again. *wink*

Another find..

Yes! I found another...SONG!!!..why would you think otherwise, eh?...sorry if I am a bit cheesy these days...blame it on the summer heat wave, blame it on the rain that seldom drops by...or you can just blame it on L-O-V-E..ha!



did you get my drift on this?....

When your search is OVER...

Sometimes you find your feelings translated into songs et voila! the music just fills your heart, your soul....specially if it pertains to the person who gives you a reason to wake up in the morning and sleep at night, sans the eyebags. Ha! Don`t you just love it when you LOVE someone unconditionally....and LOVES you back as well...



Yes, my furry friends I continue to search...FOR SONGS that speaks about how I FEEL...

I don't get it

Using the fireplace near summer? Really?? Like, REALLY????

I must be just dreaming, the stench of wood burning combined with the city air breezing through the window..at 1 am!!! How can I be so lucky?! NOT!

This city-life is really trying its best to push me out. Two more weeks and I am out of the city...ok? Promise!

Believe me, your olfactory senses is put to the test when you live in the city. And if you lived here for awhile, you can be able to identify certain smells - good and the not-so-good to bad and the WORST. No, no, I am not complaining. I am just stating facts. And sharing what are the (dis)advantages of being in the city. From your neighbors' cooking (mind you, the smell of bacon is always inspiring - ha!), down to the smelly joints of the happi(take note not "y") people in the neighborhood.

I never imagined that my sense of smell can be heightened by just living in a busy place. And I mean, if you go about your day, you can list hundreds of different things you smell in the city. And you don't have to go very far!

Yes! it's 4 in the morning and for pete's sake, somebody stop that chipmunk burning wood at this hour!..sheesh!

These Loving Thoughts

I wonder if you would

hold my hand

When we are out for dinner,

For a walk

Amidst friendly faces and strangers

I wonder if you would

kiss me

When i least expect it,

just because you felt like

Giving me a glimpse

Of your heart in-love.

I wonder if you would

put your arms

Around me...

When you sense i am tired

Or just needed to know

I am loved..

I wonder if you would

wipe away

A drop of ice cream or

Ketchup near my lips..

With your gentle touch

As if I am the only one in the room.

I wonder if you would

Introduce me to your world

as one who puts a smile

on your face

each day and loves you

unconditionally..

I wonder if you would

Let me do all these things

To you

In every loving way I can

For the rest of my life

For always...

Everyday should be this way...

Let's have something light and more upbeat as we head to summer, shall we??



See what I mean?

Shelf life

"Your battery is charging normally, however it is reaching the end of its usable life". That's what my puter tells me as soon as I turn it on.

"...reaching the end of its usable life" -what a life, eh? Was there such a thing as "non-usable" life? I wonder. Sometimes. Only sometimes. I know if your life is used..ah, it doesn't sound right, unless of course the life is used by you, therefore, used life. Stop confusing! Ha!

My furry friends, it's 4:57 and to be waken up by a sore tummy isn't helping in trying to finish this post. So bear with me. I actually started writing up this one earlier, then I decided to check on my friend's aunt who lives across the border..and before you know it, I have completely forgotten my train of thought with this one...yes! I missed the train, miss the bus, what else can I miss.. (maybe that's why they call me Missy @ work - hmmm...)

Okay! So a non-usable life it is. And that is what I suppose most peeps fear. To be just a mere statistic. But mind you, probably others doesn't even think about these things...too busy living - and by definition means working, taking care of others' needs, forgetting their own. Hmm..did I just described my life? Oh no!...can't be...nah...

Let's get a bit serious now. Just a bit, ok? At one point in my quaint life, I didn't want to be a mere statistic. Never really liked the subject - heck I had to pass 2 terms with Statistics in college! Okaaaay....Maybe that was the reason I ended up volunteering in a family crisis center in my late 20's - hoping to make some sense of the life I would want to lead. At that time, I began realizing I wanted to matter. Even just to matter to another human being. Uhm, yes it crossed my mind that maybe I was abducted by aliens and transformed into one of them. Or, I am an angel in human form. Ha!

Wouldn't that be a nice ending though isn't it? To live a life that matters - not just to another but to yourself as well. I suppose it is important we live our "usable" life in a way that would make us proud of ourselves when the time comes it becomes "unusable", we could say - "now that is what I call 'used' life".

Let's keep on dreaming...
