A light when all other lights go out!

General Questions 1. Why is it that I can never have enough of a rest day? 2. Why is it that after eating a lot, I still want to eat more? 3. Why is it that after sleeping a lot, I still want to sleep more? Heehee. I'm kind of enjoying myself. ^_^ Note to self Never underestimate how tired I might actually be when I get off from work. I don't know why. When I get home, I often intend to just lie down for a few minutes and close my eyes a bit before getting on with TTD after work, but what happens is I end up falling asleep straight away and before I know it, I've slept the night away. Haay. Careful, Cor. Schedule adherence.

Funny how every day can appear the same, yet different. Abbey came in while me, Clyde, and Cherry Anne were having lunch. She sent a paper airplane flying in our direction, announcing her arrival. We were immediately fussing over the paper airplane, each wanting a turn at flying it in the air. And then of course we fell into chatter about things and we sat around in the couches and I lay in the single-seat couch, with my back to one armrest and the backs of my legs draped over the opposing armrest. We were laughing and teasing Abbey over this guy-friend she had. Cory: (singsong) Abbey and Jo-osh sitting under a tree... Clyde: t-a-l-k-i-n-g... Lol. Abbey: That is the lamest pun in the whole world! Hahahahahaha. We tried again... Cory and Clyde: Abbey and Josh sitting under a tree, s-i-t-t-i-n-g... (laughter) Abbey: That's even lamer than the lamest pun... Hahahaha...

consists of small realities that make all the difference. Example: One day, inside the house... Clyde: (making an observation to me) You're not talking about TL anymore. Cory: (beginning to talk) Well...he passed by me today... Clyde: (wryly) I'm sorry I asked. Cory: (half-laughing) Well! I tried to spare you but you were asking for it! Anyway, so there was TL today, and he passed me by...(blah, blah, blah...) And with that, Clyde had just automatically wasted a minute of her life listening to my nonsense. Hehe. So don't let me give you the same grief. I'll spare you the useless details. To make sense of what I mentioned at the beginning of this blogpost, it's just that I had been having a bad week at work, and the simple friendly conversation restored my sense of balance and equanimity. Talked with Lala also this week. Yay. Sat around the house and kidded around with Abbey and Clyde et al... Yay. Spoke with Kuya Nikki also after a long time. Yay. :) And in a mere s...

My most urgent problem tonight is what to wear to work. It's a Tuesday and that means business casual but the thing is, I haven't done any of my laundry or had it done. I wondered what I had among my clothes that I could possibly wear tonight now that I'd run out of available clothing items. All that was left were a few loose and ill-fitting blouses and slacks and oh yeah, there's always that pink strapless dress I got from kamiseta that I had fallen in love with when I had seen it for the first time. I remember that day, having been so happy when the saleslady folded the dress and put it in a paper bag and gave it to me. And I also remember having felt so morose and bashful when I promptly lost the paper bag and had to retrace my steps to Mercury Drug where I had accidentally left it. Fine. I got nothing else to wear. I decided to retrieve and try the dress. "Mukha kang maliligo," Anj said, when she saw me in it. "Mapagsasabihan ka ni Clyde jan." ...

Clyde and the Cobwebs The lower ground level of bellecroft has a living room and an adjacent dining area. Running alongside it is a narrow patio with a screen ceiling. It is separated from the rest of the room by wooden folding doors. Clyde and I were in the living room area one day and she gestured towards the rear end of the patio. Clyde: There are so many cobwebs there. (Clyde should know. She exercises in that corner.) I tipped sideways to see. Cory: (seeing the silver cobwebs adorning the walls and ceiling) Oh yeah... Clyde: I don't wanna clean them up because the spiders took so long to put them up. (nasasayangan siya sa effort) Cory: Oh, Clyde, kamon! (protesting her logic, or her sentiment rather) Then if our living room were filled with cobwebs, you wouldn't have it cleaned! (Actually, I just had the sinister motive of encouraging her to be the one to clean up the cobwebs.) Clyde: Hahahahaha! Hihihihihi. Lol. :D Clyde and her cobwebs. She was like that with plants as w...

Abbey was interviewing bellecroft girls for her Psych 101 class. Her topic was, "what is the process of falling in love?" She interviewed Clyde. Abbey: Would you like to sit down? Take a seat. Clyde sits down. Abbey: This is gonna be recorded for future references. Clyde: Ok. Abbey: How old are you? Clyde: (violent reaction) Che!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (laughter from everyone in the room) Abbey: Oh no, I'm so scared...It was just the first question... ... Abbey: Describe the process of falling in love. Clyde: First, there is physical attraction. (then says dreamily) And then you fall in love.... ehehehehehe.... And I want to go to sleep now. I just wanted to record the "Che" part. Lol.

Better title: The Voice That Launched Me To Outer Space We were on the production floor for Transition Phase 2 and our transition coach was discussing a customer issue point by point. At this time, I had judged that I was already out of my fleeting crush on TL. We might have been seated near his station at this time. A transition coach by the name of Tong was standing behind my swivel chair while I sat on it, diligently jotting down notes on the topic. And like a rainbow-colored hot air balloon on a day you weren't expecting to see one, I heard his voice float to my ears unexpectedly much like smoke unfurling its tentacles to reach you. He was calling to the transition coach behind me. He said, "Tong, since you're just standing there..." I got lost at the sound of his voice. Smooth and intelligent and something else. My brain malfunctioned. I forgot to think. I was hurtled to outer space in a heartbeat. When I crashed back to earth, I became aware that it was another ...
