Can we pretend that airplanes
In the night sky
Are like shooting stars
I could really use a wish right now
Have you ever wished real hard hoping it would be granted? right away?
...that you wished something you want will happen?
...or that you wished the opposite happened?
...or that you wished that it did not happen at all?
I have. A couple of times. During desperate times.
When my mom was sick.
When I blew my top over a simple misunderstanding.
When I made wrong choices, wrong decisions.
When something bad happened to my family or my friends.
Or things I regret saying.
I don't think there's anything wrong with wishing or desiring.
But I have accepted the fact that there are things that cannot be undone.
I just leave it all to Him.

Dear Rhea,
Could you please arrange transport to pick up Ms. Bossing this afternoon from the airport at 03:45.
She's arriving via ***Air.
Me - Hmmm...in the "afternoon" pero "03:45" - malabo. And besides, kulang info.

Rhea,
We don't know the flight details.
And place where she will stay.
I asked Ms. Bossing's other assistant regarding this, but he also doesn't know.
Me: DUHHHHHH?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
(I almost fell off my chair! She probably thinks I'm a fortune teller!!)
Ending:
I emailed back:
So how can I arrange for transport?
Without these details, I won't be able to assist you in your request. Sorry.
I wonder what happened to Ms. Bossing? :P

Missing
I lost my office ID tonight :(
That means:
When I come in tomorrow, I would need to present my VB card to the guards.
I won't be able to park in the basement parking.
I have no choice but to park outside (where its hot, hot, hot. Worse if it rains.)
I need to go to the reception because they'll be taking my picture for the temporary ID. (Hindi pa naman ako photogenic :P)
But the positive side to it:
I'll have no need to leave the house early, I'll be parking outside anyway.
BUT I will have to miss having breakfast with my office friends...
Haaaay. Hassle.
I hope somebody found it and will bring it to Security. Or better yet, I get a phone call, hopefully from somebody interesting, and say, "Hey, I've got your ID. I can give it to you over coffee." Hahaha. Asa pa!

Happy Father's Day
What Makes a Dad
God took the strength of a mountain,
The majesty of a tree,
The warmth of a summer sun,
The calm of a quiet sea,
The generous soul of nature,
The comforting arm of night,
The wisdom of the ages,
The power of the eagle's flight,
The joy of a morning in spring,
The faith of a mustard seed,
The patience of eternity,
The depth of a family need,
Then God combined these qualities,
When there was nothing more to add,
He knew His masterpiece was complete,
And so, He called it ... Dad.
(Author Unknown)
Happy Father's Day, Dad. I love you. I miss you.
HFD to all Dads out there, too.

Back To School
No, not me.
Summer is over and traffic is back. I felt it this morning when I was going to the office.
I usually pass through Boni, left on Sheridan Street, then out to EDSA. In less than 15 minutes, am in the office.
But this morning, as I was exiting EDSA, I was surprised (duh?) that it was all clogged up. So I had to leave EDSA by turning right to Reliance and out to Pioneer (Kapitolyo).
Ugggghhh. Good thing I still was able to get a slot at the basement parking or else it would have been a bad morning for me.
Gosh! I think I have to leave the house earlier.

Hi, Ma! I miss you so much.
I miss you...everyday!
