fruitify my life

This is a break from the novelistic rambling I had going on about Phil. It just occurred to me that I couldn't possibly have managed to get by in this life without these things.

Lala: Pwede ka ba tom? Allison is on leave tom kasi, as advised by Dra. Lala.

Cory: He’s sick?

Lala: Nope, sick of work pwede. Hehe.

Cory: I’m sick of life...For the first time in my life, I actually said, fml. I'd never said that...

Lala: fml?????

Cory: Maybe that's part of coming back to your senses...

Lala: Sick of life???????

Cory: Yeah....

Lala: Yep, you have a point there. It's like you can only prescribe meds to a sick man once you correctly diagnose his illness.

Cory: Sigh. It's my fault. Fml.

Lala: Fml????? Fault My.....? Or is that a mumbled sigh? A phrase from the Bible suddenly hit me just now. Can’t remember from which part, pero it's something about God being the only one to give you life to the full. Life TO THE FULL! It strikes me as a very exciting concept just now. Wouldn’t it be nice to live life like that?

Cory: Oui.....

Lala: I’m not preaching or anything, I just realized na a life lived to the fullest ought to be what people are after pala, and not success or fame or even wealth.

Lala: Wait, what's fml ba?

Cory: Really?

Lala: Really what? That I don’t know fml?

Cory: Yeah, really, you don't know???

Lala: I haven’t come across that acronym in the elite circles I’ve been part of lately eh.

Cory: You wanna know? I was kind of swearing....

Lala: We only use words like ifr = im filthy rich, and irr = im right, right?Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Get it.

Cory: I feel like the angsty teenager I've never been...

Lala: What kind of impact was that huh, me only realizing it now? Hehehehe.

Cory: You got it?

Lala: Fruitify my life?

Cory: Exactly!!!!!

Lala: Falsify my life? Facilitate my life? Hehe.

Cory: Frolicking my life. Fortifying my life.

Lala: Fancy my life (with an I’m so lucky, smug air). Hehehe. Fictional --- my life. Just like an angsty book title.

Cory: Fun! my life. It's more fun in my life!

Lala: Tas my subheader na in the Philippines.

I feel sheepish. Ganito lang, natatawa na ako eh. Mababaw lang talaga ako, heehee. Thank you, Lalie! Labshu! :)

conceit and humility :)

The following is a vague but accurate account in my estimation. It is vague in the sense that I am not able to reproduce each utterance exactly to the letter and accurate in that it pretty much captures the gist of the conversation that took place. :) Characters: Ivy - sitting on a single sofa Abbey, Cory, and Clyde - sitting side-by-side on a three-person couch Therefore, x xxx Abbey was holding my cellphone in her hands and had undertook to play Bounce Tales. I sat to her right, a book in my hands. Clyde sits beside me, before my open laptop, reading an online article. Abbey says she doesn't like Bounce. I suggest that she might like to play Sudoku instead, but she doesn't. Cory: Don't you like Sudoku? Abbey: I do. I'm good at it. Cory: (commenting on the state of knowing you are good at something) I feel the same way, too. (nodding in agreement) I'm pretty good with words. Abbey: Sudoku is not in words. It's not a crossword puzzle. Cory: I know. What I mean

random misadventures

I lamented to my boardmates before: My Korean students don't laugh at my jokes. I pouted. "What jokes?" they asked. "Well," I explained. "My student and I were discussing an article about superstitions. And I asked him if he was superstitious. He said yes. And he said that he believes in dreams and that if one night he would have an awful dream, that he would absent himself from work the next day. And then I said to him: You know what, James, I'm superstitious too." "Really," he asked. "Yes," I affirmed. "I believe it is bad luck to believe in superstition." Silence. I waited for laughter. Nada. I smiled to myself. "I was just joking," I reassured him. "Anyway, going back to our discussion..." And another time, a student shared with me that he jumped rope for exercise 500 times a day and that he was presently aiming to raise the bar to a thousand jumps. "Wow!" I commended him. "That&
