laughter and you

i heard you laughing today. it was almost an unfamiliar sound for i haven't heard it for some time. it was music, all harmonious and pleasant. it replaced the eerie stillness, i know it's there, despite the wall that divided us.i hope this is it. i hope things will be back to normal, and normal is: your bubbly alter-ego conquering the dark and pessimistic character. ;pyour laughter completed my weekend. you completed my weekend. thank you....

jodorant

jodorant, as my brother's elementary teacher pronounced with conviction, is something that you apply on your underarms to ward off unpleasant smell in case you perspire. in tagalog, para hindi ka magkaputok.sa mga pinoy, we apply it after taking a bath, which is like everyday. it is something we do in private. siguro hangga't maitatago natin ito sa paningin ng iba, gagawin natin.waiting for my flight going here, at the airport in sg, i was at the boarding gate when a couple (mukang tiga-rito) sat in front of me. all of a sudden, si kuya, biglang...

friday night and the lights are low

one friday night, jan and i had an awesome dinner at - dig this - "mexican restaurant and cuban bar." how creative could they get in giving a name? we desperately searched for this "romantic" park near niederdorf. not that we have any reason to be in a "romantic" park together, we just wanted to see it. haha.pics: overlooking the lake and niederdorf. nice lights. nice calm water. you could even see the tram trac...

swiso sila

i've been here for more than 2 months now. kung meron man akong napansin, yun ay ang pagmamahal nila sa sariling wika nila. pagmamahal nang sobra. bakit kamo?karatula - lahat in swiss german. i don't have a sense of direction. what more if the directions are in swiss german? ayos. mula sa airport paglapag ko hanggang sa mga karatula sa restroom. sila lang ang nakakaintindi.kahera - mabibilang ko ang mga ate kaherang marunong mag english. susme, ikaw pa ang masama kung 'di ka makaintindi ng salita nila. si ate sa canteen, simula pa lang ng pag-abot...

pagod

tiring day at work. started "hammering the deals" - as they so fondly say - at 8:30 am, ended at 7:30 pm. there's one task we are so giddily avoiding. i hope i won't do it, but if i had to, what can i do? i'm just an employee.i feel i'm becoming one of the boys. why not, if i have to be with boys only for the rest of my stay here. i eat like them, i joke like them, i walk like them. sheesh, i miss my guuurls.why could somebody be asking that question? could it mean, hmmm? paranoid.if only i could take away somebody's pain and anxieties and worries,...
