What went on while I was away
A few months back, a friend once enthused that, "Pare, di ka naging parte ng henerasyon natin kapag di ka nakapagtrabaho sa call center kahit minsan." Which I took to heart, seeing the subtle wisdom in it.
Two weeks ago, I did exactly that.
It's been a strikingly weird experience. I can't say I was shocked. I've heard the stories before, knew the nuances, fed on the inanities and the outpouring of rage. Now, driven by necessites and an unrelenting curiousity, I figured I could give it a try. After all, what can I lose.
Except of course my sense of finding the profound in the mundane.

Obama wins the election, and America finds itself in the throes of change. sundaecone already has a post on it, and I gladly thank her for reminding me on what's happening in the world today.

Scents have always aroused my attention and piqued my interest. Eternally accompanying my memories, they have been indexes on the most acute moments. The smell of peaches and summer that reminds me of first love. The aroma of cheap alcohol and cherished time with friends. The tang of biting wind and joyous holidays. The scent of rain going on for days, and the depression that comes with it.
I believe that scents will always hold an enchantment on me.
So it comes as no surprise when I, bored out of my wits earlier today, found myself browsing the catalog of Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab. Quite an interesting list. I wonder which ones I'll be ordering once I save up some money...
It might be a good idea for you to check it out, too, in case you got stricken with the same malady.

Right, off to bed.
