Never Ending Lists

Here we go again with another list of things to do in the coming days. 2010 is almost over but the preparations for the coming New Year's eve celebration isn't over. I just gave myself time to stop and list down some of the things that I must do:

• Ask my aunt to cook for us. Yes, I am not a cook. I only know how to cook three dishes and not one of them is fit for the festivities.
• Send my cousin some information on eyelash growth products. I have no idea what's the sudden interest with this is all about but yeah, anything to help my cousin.
• Update my blogs. And also decide on what topics to write on each of them. I though of sticking to a theme for each blog.
• Clean the house.

Almost here

In 48 hours, it's Christmas again.

In 48 hours, I will be celebrating my 28th Christmas with the family. I have hoped something will change this year but it didn't work out. Or it wasn't meant for me still. Like that POS systems our IT Department have been requesting that's not close to happening.


Everything is in one's mindset I guess. Or keeping the balance of things. I never really had my heart and mind set on finding someone to be with this year. Yes, I met new people, some of them became friends, but they've never shown any interest of being more than friends. Or maybe they did and I was just too busy with something else to even noticed.

Maybe I am destined to be alone. Not that it is bad, but not given a chance to experience having someone else special in ones life other than family is I think unfair. Well, life is not fair to everyone, depending on how one sees it. I sometimes think I'm just going to be stuck here with my folks. I know it is bad but sometimes you cannot help but complain. Not fully enjoying ones life because of family obligations is a bummer, don't you think?

Where are you, my prince?

Life Magazine

Image like this is one of the reasons why I have been spending loads of my browsing time at Life Magazine's website. The online magazine have a chock-full of albums and pages that features candid and not-so-candid shots of celebrities, animals, and regular people. One of my favorite spots on the site is their archives. Old photos of big stars like Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, Audrey Hepburn; old photos of the historical events of the world such as World War I, the Vietnam War; and other significant events that one could imagine.

I have been thinking of the magazine's equivalent here in the Philippines. There's only one newspaper here that's over a hundred years old: The Manila Bulletin. I wonder if they have a photo archive as comprehensive as Life Magazine's.

White Noise

I don't need a white noise maker to see everything clearly. Every word that has been said and each of them without reason. Reason that would make the situation better. Time is not a very important thing these days. The time spent knowing the person, helping them and keeping them at best interest doesn't count.

9 months of my time have been wasted. Working on something and then being shut off in a snap is not the best way to end things. But I believe everything is happening for the better.
