random monday thoughts
Monday, June 19, 2006
had the most unusual thursday last week. had breakfast in circles, shang. went to buy stuff in divi (as my boss likes to call divisoria). came back to shang for lunch to eat at red (insert roasted free range chicken with mushroom risotto and red wine).
oh well, so much for the money saved.

was up in cali for the weekend. had amihan all to myself. oh yeah, no one to share her with. slept in her all by myself (wink wink).

my cousin and his daughter from sfo are in manila right now. they just got here today and will be leaving by the end of the week. thing is, i have a lot of things to do (like blogging, hehe..., but seriously, i have a big outdoor camp coming up and all my focus is on that -- me and my one track mind) so i'm not going to be able to be with them that much. plus, i promised myself that after my brother's wedding that i will not compromise my time nor my resources for family anymore. i'm done with that. it's me time now.
they wanted to borrow my car today because my parents' is coded. i said no. they wanted to use my room. i said hell no. i think i'm just fed up with all this. even if i am close to my cousin and his family, i don't think i can give up stuff now.
that's what you get for not allowing your son to be independent early on. i can be a brat when i want to.
it's just too bad that it had to be this.

salomon days
Tuesday, June 13, 2006
the rubber soles of my salomon outdoor shoes have given way a few months back. these shoes have been a constant companion on trips, both in and out of the country. it's been scratched here and there, soaked in all sorts of elements and environments. and because of these things, it has reminded me of the numerous trips i've had.
it's been hard to let go of such a comfortable pair and the fact that salomon has pulled out of the country means that it's even harder to get a new one. but in the last month or so, i've seen a very good replacement: a merrel amphibian. so shoe me if i've switched allegiances. the old one has outlived its usefulness.
but before this one finds itself in the dumpster, i give it one last ode.
