Another day
I think the most memorable about today really is the amount of time I spent with Cora. Between Chicken Little and playing Guitar Hero, she probably got the most of me today. She sure is cute and sweet.
I feel like I barely saw the other two. I walked them home from the bus stop, but then there was the store, dinner, bath, books, bed… I’ll be ( Read more... ) -
Lazy day
I’d like to call today a lazy day… but was it?
The morning started in somewhat of a frenzy as I was somewhat late getting up: 8am and the kids had to be at school by 8:45 (and where still asleep as well). But we managed just fine. And I even managed to take some pictures of Gillian’s cheekiness and Liam’s bad-hair-day

Thoughts on journaling
Why does it have to be so hard to journal? During the day, all these great thoughts will combine with enthusiasm and creativity into someone of a giddiness at the thought of being able to put some things into writing. And at the end of the day, when the time to write is finally there, it all just… fizzles… the thoughts are gone, the motivation ( Read more... ) -
Flattering
Today we had the farewell lunch for Julius and Fred who are going back to the Philippines soon. Amol had picked this Indian restaurant at Custer and Arapaho. I got there first as I found out when I entered the empty restaurant, but as I turned to leave again, they all showed up. It was a fairly nice clean restaurant. The food was good… Not many ( Read more... ) -
The Slight Edge
When I picked up this book from my book shelf, I did not want to. And that’s stil an understatement. The only reason I did so anyway is because for the last 2 or 3 months, the title came up again and again from various people that I look up to in some way.
So I did…
And the first few pages were painful. I felt like I had read it before (which I’m ( Read more... ) -
History repeats itself.
It is interesting, yet scary, how sometimes we feel like we’ve been somewhere before. Earlier I noted to Ruth that it felt like this year has gone by extremely quickly. Well, shortly thereafter feelings and thoughts of being lost, of general inadequacy and failure came back. Yes, watching a movie about a love that can’t be didn’t help. No, not in ( Read more... ) -
Late nights with a movie…
Some things are just really surprising… And those things seem to have this urge of just… sneak out of the darkness and JUMP AT YOU!.

Weekend closure
This weekend was a mess. Yes it was a short one, but still, it shouldn’t have been a mess. But it was.
It felt like every time I finally got myself to doing something, something else went wrong. There was Cora who didn’t want to be by herself. There’s my car and it’s alarm which goes off when the battery dies, which is every 12-18 hours or so. ( Read more... ) -
Random thoughts
It is interesting to observe the dynamics of relationships; how we gravitate towards some, away from others, only to find ourselves doing the opposite a few days/weeks/months later.
This aside, life is rather interesting. Not boring to say the least.
Work is absolutely crazy. Not really in a good way, but in lots-of-fires-to-put-out way. Ah well, ( Read more... )
