"After the erratic and energy-filled Year of the Rat, the Earth Ox plods into our lives this year almost appropriately and necessarily to clean up the mess left by the turbulent 2008 and sort things out for an orderly world."

This excerpt from an article in yesterday's Philippine Star is so right on the money.  It succinctly sums up then whirlwind ( Read more... )

First read about The Suckfest That Is My Friday Night then carry on.

In an ultimately pathetic but symbolically significant act of defiance, I braved the rain and feculent floodwaters to have my KFC Hotshots dinner... and it was grrrrreat!!!

*pensive*  See, sometimes in life, it rains.  Like really hard.  On a Friday night, at that.  And I may not ( Read more... )

Tsk tsk tsk... Need to fix my LJ up.

You know that tingly feeling you get crawling through your scalp as you rinse off mentholated shampoo off your hair or after that first sip of hot tea on a cold, cold day?  Well having your hair yanked out of your head during a vicious catfight is sort of like that, but a lot more intense, especially if the bitch has had you in a hairlock for quite ( Read more... )

Ashamed and inspired by S.C.’s ambush visit, I decided to do a general cleaning of the office.  This was long overdue too because I cannot remember the last time I had the office cleaned.  Think: fallen hair, dust and cobwebs galore!  Plus I have two-months-worth of 3 different newspapers, lying around in Every.

There are many a noble reason to quit smoking.

Not having a lighter, I'm sure, is not one them.

Unfortunately, that has been the case for two days now, ever since I lost my lighter and used up all the emergency matches I stashed in my office drawer.  The lack of initiative to either refill the matchbox or buy a new lighter, on top of my ( Read more... )
