my mother really cared for David Cook. We were devastated with the judges' opinions and comments on every David Cook performance yesterday. Great thing he won the AI finals with 54% of the million votes. ;)

peace of mind
we were joking our father that he is so out of the competition when it comes to the talks of the green thing called M O N E Y, baby! he and his younger sister are not in good terms for a very long time. his sister who turns out to be our aunt, despises us all, my father, my mother, I and my two other siblings. I don't know what's with her. ahee.
she has a daughter who is in the USA now, and I have no idea if she rains her mother over with money, and this aunt also has a son who is such a burden in her back. burden means-- she gets back home from her domestic helping in Cyprus, and pays her sons debts, pays his bail, and fights with him in the middle of the night waking up their neighbors.
When we said he is so out of the competition, I was amazed when he answered, "At least I have my peace of mind. My two eldest daughters have their own careers now, and the youngest is graduating this October. I can sleep well at night and anytime God will take me, I am ready. I have no angst or any unfinished business that I might mind when I'm dead because all of my children are accomplished."
Yup, nobody can buy a peace of mind. My father has also mentioned that any millionaires in the world would give up their millions if there is a merchandise called peace of mind.
A story also comes to my thinking. I have a co-member in our reading ministry who belongs to a political leaders family here in Iloilo City. His surname says so. He once shared that he is so thankful that eventhough he has no money or not in power like his relatives, everytime his head reaches his pillow, he sleeps immediately. Unlike his relatives, before getting into bed, they would first check if the windows and doors of their homes are locked, and if there is a gun under their pillows. See the difference?
Peace of mind is such a simple state that a person will have but getting it is having to get through many obstacles and do the right deeds.

i thought i was gonna lose a dog again
when i and my mother arrived home, our two little puppies came in hopping and running after me. i named them after the famous duo, Brad and Angelina. ahee. That time it was raining very bad, the weather was not that good. when we left the house that afternoon and left the two puppies all by themselves, my mother thought the rain would stop. but it didn't, and still continued until we get back home. i was eating some bread when the two of them came and gave me those cute little puppy-eyes to which I cannot say no. i took some pieces from what I was eating and then Angelina, the female puppy, (hihihi but ofkors), suddenly snobbed me and went under the center table in our living room. I thought to myself, she was very jolly and happy when we arrived and now, she's acting like this?
When dinner time came, we thought she was just hungry and wants to eat dinner not just a bread, i really paid attention. And unfortunately, she did what i was expecting. She didn't eat her dinner. I let them sleep in my room just to make sure Ange drinks some water. (Note: this is very important. Our vet has once advised us that even the dog won't eat food, at least it will drink some water.) I wake up from time to time just to make sure my little Ange can have some water inside her body. I injected the water in her mouth just to make sure she drinks it. She won't drink the water if its in their drinking container.
At three a.m., i woke up seeing my mother in my room. She was playing with the two. And I was surprised to see Ange playing and being so hyper. I really thanked God myself. It was just a little rumbling of the stomach and maybe a little depression because we left them all by themselves.

i became an addict
yes, addict to incubus' I MISS YOU. it became my LSS these past few days. my friend referred me to this song. i have heard it once before she even told me about it. but when she said that the song is great, i tried listening to it again. And now, i'm addicted to it! I don't miss somebody in particular. But there is this somebody whom I always see everyday but the 'seeing' per se, cannot fill in.
Understand and feel the lyrics. You'll feel it more if you listen to the audio. ;)
To see you when I wake up
is a gift I didn't think could be real.
To know that you feel the same as I do
is a three-fold, utopian dream.
You do something to me that I can't explain.
So would I be out of line if I said,
I miss you.
I see your picture, I smell your skin on the empty pillow next to mine.
You have only been gone ten days, but already I'm wasting away.
I know I'll see you again
whether far or soon.
But I need you to know that I care
and I miss you.

summer samahan
Finally the much anticipated vacation of the year (for us, three) had happened. same thing happened again last year, our contact in Boracay did her famous excuse again. She is our contact in the island to find a room for us to stay in there. Last minute, she texted my friend that the owner of the apartelle/resort came and there will be an additional payment for us to be able to get a room. Good thing, that text came the night before our arrival to the island. Last year, she texted the same excuse when we were already in the pumpboat. Got no time to think of a strategy.
Well, vacation as it is, it should be enjoyed. We got a room that suited our budget and then the rest is history. that left you thinking how we got the room equals to our budget. :P charms, people. :D
here we are enjoying the beach and the sunburn that we had after bathing under the sun from 10am-5pm!nyaha!

contemplating on something
when you're out there looking for that person...
keep these things in mind:
people change no matter how hard they try not to...
as you grow older, you mature.
and with each new level of maturity,
comes different ideas,
different needs and wants...
the person who was perfect for you at twenty's
could be the person you hate at thirty's.
you have to find someone who will:
grow with you,
change with you,
and cry with you.
remember that there is no such perfect person in this world,
but there will always be someone who will COMPLETE you!
