Footsteps left behind by you……

Today, I slacked the whole day away, just sleeping thru the morning, crochetting thru the rest of the day. Only now do I feel the urge to type. Tee-hee.

Anyway, I lost a friend. it wasn’t just today, but for a couple of months already. I had it coming. What can I expect? Nobody’s ready for me to put my entire life on them. Not at this age. God, yes. Man, no. Even for such a strong believer, he left. Thaat shows the difference between man and God himself. Doesn’t matter. Somehow, from the start, I knew I had this comin’. I mean, who am I lyin’ to? I was a selfish one, most probably self-centred, ’specially to him. I’m ready to let go though. Totally. Ready. As long as he leaves me alone, I’ll leave him alone. Strangers in a fuckin’ happy life. Hurray.

Met ‘Qi earlier on at 11pm. Mac near my house. Was really happy to meet her but in the end, was reallllll pissed off. I mean, I know I haven’t gotten my own computer. What’s the biggie? Then she had to blast music from her laptop when I was listening to music on my zune. Dude! I know you love music, I do too. It’s just that our taste are completely different!! She’s all soul and guitar, I’m rock and punk and whatever tobasco shit man! Like, I love MOST genres of music. Street, punk, love…Whatever. But her’s gotta show class. So be it. We’re just way off in our tastes. Next, since I volunteered to help her do her business up, I was advising her but in the end she just brushed the mistakes aside and did’t bother much. If so, why ask me to help?! Argh. Finally, she insulted me and it was a really low blow here. I know she has the money and the abilities to get her laptop bag, I’m fine with it. Really. But she doesn’t have to say that the laptop cover I’m gonna knit is gonna fall apart. I love knitting and crocheting! It’s like a lost art. You dunno vintage til you do knits, yet knits can be modern too!

Argh! I’m just simming down now. I love her enough to say that I can tolerate all these. I’m just gonna speak to her about it one day. Sigh. No wonder at times Titus really wanne pick on her. It’s hard to resist picking on that person who thinks that she’s above the rest. Maybe if she reads this, she’ll understand that I was just annoyed. Telling me that what I knit will fall apart is like telling her that her business will go bust immediately even before she starts. A really low blow. Insulting too. Sigh. Still I cherish her.

Now, sad things aside, I can tell you, I did 2 things today. First, I finally crochetted a pouch for my mp4. It’s a drawstring pouch. I love it!! :) Second, I found this really great singer. All his songs are touching. Heart-wrenching, but definitely touching. Beautiful man we have here. The name’s  Enrique Iglesias. The following 2 videos are songs sung by him. Nice voice, though the video has a little explicit stuff going on. I hope you like him too….

The first one’s called “Do you know?” It’s beautiful, but really heart wreching if you listen to the lyrics clearly.

The second one is “Escape”. It’s rather light, sort of like a sweet and loving courtship. I like it too….

I really hope that you pardon my sarcasm today. I felt it was necessary. Ain’t no bitch though.

Furniture of modern days…

Today I went to IKEA(Tampines, Singapore) with Sokeng to find a bookshelf for her room. It was quite interesting, since it’s been a long time since I went to IKEA to shop. The last few times I went there was for fun’s sake, even though I sort of bought stuff home. I ate 2 hotdogs with Sokeng as dinner and then we went to GIANT supermarket to check out their shelf too. Those were pretty lousy though, chipped at the corners, scratched at the front, you could get something much better at IKEA at less than thirty dollars, but GIANT was selling it at $49. A little too much, I believe.

In any case, we left at about 8.30pm, lunging along with us some cardboards that we bought(self-assembled storage boxes), and went back to Woodlands area. Planned on getting the silicone handphone cover for Sokeng at the Civic Centre, but sadly the stalls were closed, so we left and headed over to Comics Connections. They ended up closing the shop the minute I reached the door. Humph! Pissed….

Now, I’m home, just reading up some manga and watching D.Gray Man. Better than I expected, though I’m not really into it….

The 7 tickets to hell.

I’m not sure if you guys have read in the newspapers lately that the Vatican has drawn up 7 new sins for our times. Adding on to the 7 original sins that will earn you a ride to hell, now even the inability to “Reduce, Reuse, Recycle” may just sent to the home of the devils.

THE ORIGINAL 7 DEADLY SINS:

  1. Sloth
  2. Envy
  3. Gluttony
  4. Greed
  5. Lust
  6. Wrath
  7. Pride

THE 7 NEW SINS:

  1. Genetic Modification(Does HYVs count?)
  2. Human Experimentation(So instead of cloning humans, why don’t we have another Dolly the sheep??)
  3. Polluting the environment(Stop smoking!!!)
  4. Social Injustice(Say no to racist, sexist, egoist, etc!!)
  5. Causing Poverty(Stay outta earth, cheater-bugs! Stop taking people’s money away! Somebody, call Robin-Hood, please!)
  6. Financial Gluttony(Arlo?! You don’t need so much money, so please stop widening the financial gaps in the world! Can donate anot?!)
  7. Taking Drugs(It’s official that if you harm your body, you go to hell. So please stop hurting yourself!)

A quote from Monsigpnor Girotti, a close ally of the Pope and the head of the Apostolic Penitentiary, one of the Roman Curia’s main court- “The sins of yesteryear are rather individualistic. The sins of today have a social resonance as well as an individual one. In effect, it is more important than ever to pay attention to your sins.”

I agree with whatever that is said in the quote because the 7 new sins are really things that sets the stage for whatever destructions that are happening around the world now. And this  stage will always be held up by the original 7 sins, because this sins are drilled into the core of our souls by what ever demons around.

I do hope that these 7 new mortal sins that the Vatican has drawn up would create more awareness among people, whether they are Catholics or not. It is very important for a person living in current society to realize that the actions of one man does affect many. Maybe with the implementations of the new sins, people will realize that things done by a person will, at the end of the day, judge the road in the afterlife.

What goes around apparently comes around, indeed. Karma or not, this is the rule of the game.

Just a movie for all to see……

Sometimes people do things for the sake of publicity. I really can’t understand why. I mean, is fame, glory and money all that’s important in this world? What about love and life? Friendship and loyalty? Why can’t some people understand that at times it’s a basic smile that brings others back from that hell they were in? Is it just so difficult to love and understand fellow human beings? Don’t tell me Aidan O’Connor was right. I do not believe that this world is full of shit! Argh! Is it really so much easier to blame and hurt than to love and care? Is T.L.C. such a difficult thing to give freely??

      AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

I know it’s kinda late, but HAPPY BIRTHDAY all the same!!!

Happy Birthday to Leslie, Titus, and Sean!!! Three guys whose birthday I, in one way or another, would or already have, celebrated for. Growing older, huh?! But stay youthful and always embrace the life God has give to you!! :D

This morning afternoon, I woke up and slacked my fat ass off about the house. Was waiting for Leslie to come home so that I could bring to for SAKAE SUSHI’s Teatime Buffet. We ate quite alot, swallowing all the rice and toppings that were de-li-cious. Spoke quite abit to Leslie too, about things that were happening in his life. Had fun!!

*Worse thing happened when Leslie chose the Nattou Sushi. It’s was AW-FUL. Really nasty tasting thing.*

Can’t wait for “tomorrow” to arrive. Gonna play pool @ east coast park in the morning, then after that, meet Qi and Sean to shop and celebrate Sean’s birthday. Heard that Joo-yu would be there. Hmm… Interesting, since I haven’t spoken to seen her since last year. Maybe something interesting would happen?? NOOOOOO idea…

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Books, presents, and so much more!!!!!

I’ve got 2 new books!!! So happy, finally I have what I’ve been waiting for. :D Went shopping at pageOne, Vivocity, and got the books “Upon the midnight clear” and “Sweeney Todd”. Beautiful!!! After that,I got a present for Geral(At last!), a handphone strap, I hope she liked it. Finally, I bought my bro and I a bottle each(Nike for him, Adidas for me). Strangely, mine was pink. Not that that is some god-awful color, but well, it’s a little strange [for me] to associate me with pink.

I really enjoy myself, since S.K. and Geral were also there. If only Gladys were there, things would have been great perfect! I miss those days where all four of us could just find time for each other and we could just simply hang out somewhere and talk or something. Those were the times where “impromtu-ness” worked. Now, times have changed, and I’m not really having an easy time adapting.

Sigh.

In any case, I’ve planned to quit my current job, and I will leave once I find a replacement for myself. I know, as a part-timer, I basically am not responsible of whether my boss has any workers on hand or not, it’s none of my business. But since now we are talking about Geral’s mum, who very nicely gave me a job after knowing of my financial difficulties, things are very different. 1) She’s a very nice woman, boss, etc. 2) She gave me the job cuz she knew I needed it. 3) She’s my best friend’s mom[!]. Thus, the appreciation that I felt brought about a sense of responsibility. No matter what others says, I’m helping them cuz I want to.

Oh well, today, in general, was a very happy day for me. I spent my day with one of my best friends, ended up with two of them, came home missing the third one who wasn’t there. I’d say, it was wonderful. Got my bro a bottle, got myself 2 books, and finally presented Geral with a long-overdued X’mas present. Nice. :)

Goodnight!

Two of my favorite youtubers!!!
