From The World and Other Places, which I'm reading right now. This paragraph spoke to me, especially since the people who saw us off to Bohol were astonished to discover that we only had a backpack each. Parang overnight daw. This sums up my sentiments perfectly:
Luggage. Heaven or Hell in the hereafter will be luggage or the lack of it. The ones who recognized that love is enough and that possessions are borrowed pastimes, will float free through the exit sign, their arms ready to hug their friends, their toothbrush in their pocket. The ones who stayed up late, gathering and gathering like demented bees, will find that you can take it with you. The joke is that you have to carry it yourself.

Scooter. I've just had Charlie's tires vulcanized and the front rim replaced. Haven't had the chance to ride him yet, especially since I discovered that his front brake wasn't working (when I had the accident before we left). Need to get that fixed this week if I want to get any riding done.

Business. The relaunch of Web Content Wow is creeping in closer and closer, and I'm working on it everyday. I think I'll meet the deadline and get my old business revamped. Although I'm financially better than ever, I'd still like a safety net, preferably something that works well even if I rarely intervene.
Tomorrow I'm meeting with B, Nina, and Ferrari (or Steph - we suspect they are the same person) to discuss our illustration studio. I already bought the domain name (DrawStreet.com), but that's the smallest possible step I could ever make. Much more to do. If I'm lucky we'll launch in 5 months?
