I was reading through something and could not quite pinpoint what was wrong with the essay. I was sure that there was something wrong, though.
After 3 rereads, I finally got it. Eureka!!! It was an essay with a lof of information, yes; however, all the information does not answer the main question. It was quite furstratiing. It is as if you are looking upon heaps of choices of clothes and could not find the magic in each of them.....haay it was quite draining and tiring..

Happy Birthday
To someone,
Lately, images of you come to mind more often than I can care to admit. Flashes of you holding the laundry in front of the Whirlpool washing machine waft through my head without invitation. Just after dinner today, I picked up a transparent plastic container and saw pictures of you and me on a boat rowing around the Burnham Lake. Two weeks ago, I was eating in a fastfood chain and the song that remind me of you the most blasted through the airwaves. A day after that, the song is heard once more in a shoe store. Gosh it is haunting me!! It is even an old song.
Maybe because it is your birthday month. Each year, I was used to thinking about ways to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY starting a month before the actual annniversary of your birth, but now, i can not greet you anymore. I can only hope that your firends and loved ones have been able to make your day extra special. I miss you so much, and I cannot deny it when I am all alone. I cannot turn my back on the fact that after every pain you have caused me, I still haven't found a friend who could fill what you were to me.
On most days, I am swamped with all the responsibilities that I got myself in to. I can push you in to the inner recesses of my hearts to bury somewhere in the pulsating muscles. When the day gets tough and I am without a friend who understands me, I really am close to tears and hoping that I can run to you instead of the solitude of my room. Today, someone said I was a selfish person thinking only of myself and how I worked hard. I felt crush and tried to explain myself. But then was rudely cut off....that is when it clicked...you know and understand me. You can comfort me because you know what I go through on most days, and you do agree with me on a lot of things...You understand me because we are two people in the world who are most misunderstood by people whom we care for.
I know you will not be able to read this. Even worst- I know that I will not be able to see you ever again. And the last picture I have of you is on your birthday. I know I will never trust anyone more than I do you. And though, I cannot greet you on your brithday, in my heart of hearts, I am always hoping and praying that wherever you are, you are happy on your birthday and always.
Missing you always,
your friend

Redundancies
I have started to donwload some songs to my phone which turned out to be a blast. It had its own speaker and can be heard wtihin the confines of my room if needed plus it has an fm radio, as well. Just then I wondered why I had to go out of my way to download the songs that were actually in my Ipod already or my Ipaq. Then I realized that it seems like we are moving in to redundancies in our lives.
Imaigne the gadgets that occupy our bags with multiple and even overlapping uses. My phone aside from the music function has a tv and camera. Why do we need a separate digi cam if the phone actually has even a video function? Wierd but it seems that we are having certain redundancies in life.
We have all these things. We still want more. I know cause I can feel it. Despite the fact that I already have a laptop to use for work and recreation needs, I am still itching to get a more portable Asus EE which was is said to be not only lightweight but safer to carry around. Why I want that is something beyond me. How will I find time to use it? I do not know too at times.
In my mind, the great debate goes on...Sometimes our things have overlapping functions, and yet we insist that we need each one...we have each and every one...we carry them wherever we go...I would not be a hypocrite because I must admit that as absurd as it sounds, I think I always end up finding the time to use each and every gadget in each an every possible way....haah there goes my realization...

On My Desk...
I have been trying my best to find the perfect mix for my workspace at home. I have gone to different websites for guidance and all that. At the end of the day, I need to just make do with what I already have and make it as comfortable and as inspiring as I could make it since I spend hours in front of it.
On my desk right now are the following things that may or may not be directly related to my work: There is my laptop off course sitting on a notebook cooling pad, the usb hub, the Ipod case, a picture frame with my ticket of the premiere of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix(yes, I love Harry Potter) , a pencil holder with a Gossip Girl post card, a Hello Kitty mouse pad and a Hello Kitty book holder which has most of my paper, specially if they are read from time to time or urgently needing my attention. Just wanted to document my workspace hehehe. Who knows? Hopefully, sometime soon it would be picture perfect!
