This is Paramore Live in Nashville.

I never liked him anyway.

Jeez, he's such an A** that Kanye West.



============================================
oh well!!! Nevermind the video doesn't work anymore, it's gone on Youtube, I guess such rude attitude doesn't even deserve publicity for Kanye West.

a day in the life of me.

So there I was in my most unflattering look for the site...literally clothed not "dressed" like a guy...I cannot be in my posh-iest outfit as you know being in a construction site is not the most glamorous thing! BUT, after this "technical" stuff, we will all go back to this same site for viewing in business outfits as if this never happened!

a gloomy rainy day to make things become a bigger challenge...mud on my shoes, mud on my shirt...err, *hubby's* shirt, and mud on my pants...
my boss and I,discussing numbers and halves of numbers, the panels were perfectly aligned at this stage, bravo! ... I'm still wondering at that time how I was able to climb up the scaffolding when it's slippery and I'm too coward for heights!
with my team mate doing some affirmations...he's a good guy, easy to work with, never complains and talks in a low-soft voice, who wouldn't like that! He never argues with me!^^

view of the unfinished product! It's a mock-up of what the actual facade of the building will look like.
some notes from the big boss!

...AND wrap up! Bring on the next day! :)

new and improved

Had my hair done. Treatment, shine, trim ... more of a haircut actually! Ever wonder what you say first to your stylist before she chops a chunk of your hair??? I said make
it shorter, I did'nt say 2-3 inches fringed short! I like it, I hate it, I like it...it's a struggle within a day, when in the morning after shower and conditioning it looks fab, but right
after work and is ready to chill at home and get to bed, I look like I had a head transplant ... OK, a huge mound of follicle transplant from Steve Tyler! I had to put a clip over
my bangs so my husband wouldn't think he's beside a stranger incase he wakes up in the middle of the night, or even think he's with Steve Tyler ... or Tina Turner or the
likes of a person with wild fringed hair and wilder fringed bangs, it moves crazy with the wind too!

BUT in the morning while getting ready for work or when at work, it's so tamed... glorious soft locks of chestnut brown *breaks* ....chestnut brown??? *wink* I had some
color, but it's a natural dye, it wears off after many washings... I got quite bored of having jet black hair all my life! Born with it, almost everyone here is with it, so I want to
be chestnut brown for a while to stand out when the sun shines, giving luster and radiance *as promised* to my hair.

'Problem is: There hasn't been any SUNshine lately, the clouds are dark, drizzling cold rain, there's even a storm coming!!! ... I can't understand why it had to be so, I need
that SUNLIGHT!!! I need that moment of radiance!!! ... oh well, I have moved my chair in the office, closest to where the lighting hits ... it's the second best thing, awaiting for
someone to take notice...still waitiiiinnngggg...

Hobby project 001: DONE!

I made bookmarks for my friends and gave it to them yesterday. I had fun making them and they were thrilled to receive it as presents! (it's just because, for no occasion.)^^ I named each after their names and color "coordinated" them with their personalities!

Here they are:

"here they come the beautiful ones!"

We were all cheers and smiles, showing support and waving our flag ... but nah! we are not the MOST beautiful people in the entire UNIVERSE! If we are to base that on the recently ended MISS UNIVERSE 2009 pageant, we are NOT! We lost again to Venezuela, I'm not surprised ... they always win! Well, we should start breeding our own league of potential beauty queens because that's what they do, BREED them. It's like the Olympics, they train beauty queens with rigorous routine in lipstick and heels! BUT the rest of it actually lies on the GENES, how can you grow a neck like that?! A gorgeous long neck ... that even SCIENCE cannot meddle with ... (in photos, TOP: Ms. Philippines 2009, Bianca Manalo, BELOW: Ms. Universe 2009, Ms. Venezuela)

ME: oh you don't say! get outta here! really?!!!!

MY SMARTER BRAIN: I read that somewhere you could wear a steel neck brace that will eventually elongate your neck ... a tribe in Thailand does that (to the extremes!) That if they remove the coil on their necks they could die because it's already far stretched! yikes!

The price of beauty as long necks are deemed elegant and graceful...I don't know when will mine grow! ... but I'm waitiiiing. ^^

...And what about that RIB reduction, where they take out 2 of your lower ribs so your body shape will always be smaller on the waist ... (excuse me, but I'm gonna pass out for a while ... haaaayy...) I heard Thalia, the famous Mexican actress, who's now married to Mariah Carey's Ex- have had that surgery... (I'm passing out again ... haaaayy...) if that's true.

STOP ... it's not to say that in order to be beautiful you must go under these "extremes" ... as I believe that "no woman is ever ugly, but there are just the "lazy" ones"! ^^ ...yeah... true. Forget those "effortlessly" beautiful women with good genes, they are NOT human!!! ^^

It's just a beauty contest. Anyway we've had our share of glory in the Miss Universe pageant having 2 winners in the past (in black and white photos!!!) and the first ever Miss Universe from Finland married a Filipino guy, that should count!!! ... I don't even know why I watch pageants, somehow - maybe, my mom wished one of her daughters could be among those "flawlessly" looking girls in the pageant... until I discovered the JOY of tree climbing and bikes that squashed her secret dream of a beauty queen/daughter!!! haha... and that I refused to join a pageant once in College, *wink*wink* because I'm a "rocker" chick, not actually the kind who's gonna strut in a bikini and showcase her talent just to show she's got talent, how'd you showcase a talent in GARDENING in 15 mins.??? So I gave way to the "girl" who'll do anything just to get in, bleach herself and all! ... It's NOT my thing... people have their own THING, that's not mine. I still like watching pageants though, nevermind why ... it's just so. (in photos, TOP: Gloria Diaz, Miss Universe 1969, BOTTOM: Margie Moran, Miss Universe, 1973)

Anyway, Melody Gersbach will represent us in the Miss International ... I have high hopes on her, she's pretty, smart and elegant. She comes from the same city I came from (I'm biased!) Was a graduate of a private Catholic School in highschool where my sister is teaching and she owns a popular restaurant in the City, she is a young business woman, I like her. (I'm biased!) ... Reminds me of what I read "again" ... That before, pageant candidates are chosen ONLY among the richest and born to prominent families, you must belong to the "high" class society to be Miss Universe Philippines ... aawww... I wouldn't be Miss Philippines now or even before!!! (but I don't want it, really I dont!)



Sooo, yeah...we lost. No big deal, we can try again next year and the coming years! ... Pageants are very different in each coutnry, we just consider ours as the most dramatic and the "serious" kind, that we love to see beautiful women to be "perfect" ... to be super smart and successful, to the point of having ridiculous expectations! To answer in perfect english, must have a flawless body but without having a surgery! To be super smart like Summa Cum Laude smart!!! Our 2007 Miss Philippines is a Summa Cum Laude from one of the top Universities in the country, ridiculous! i hate her! ^^

well... spread the love, goodwill and beauty. There's no harm in being beautiful inside and out! Remember, there are no ugly women there are just lazy ones!

things will get better ... you'll see.^^

yup I need to relax... breathe MJ, breathe... it's not that bad (it's very bad! ^^) but yeah, I'm calming my senses, I'd be doing crochet and stitch those stresses in those patterns, I already bought lots of yarns and rolled them into balls, maybe something pretty will come out of it, maybe a mean scarf or a pair of mittens after all whenever I feel down and out ... something good and creative comes out of me, way better than I want to think it to be... when will I use those mittens here in my tropical country ... is a problem to be solved later!!!

Well, well ... yes, stress. I don't know why I'm stressed for not having the "same" amount of work as I'm used to. I should be happy and take these moments as "breathing-space" moments, when I get paid for doing ... well ... my desk is uncluttered for days, that says so much about how busy my schedule is! I've put up a fan page for our office on facebook, I guess that counts as work too, wont it?


I should not take it personally, I am friends with my boss, we were together in a team to the US and had those really good bonding moments, teaching me how to park without scratching the neighbor's car as I'm used to wide spaced parking lots but there, we have to park inches apart which ... I'm so not doing regularly, because I swear I could hit both cars on my left and right really goooood! Making those insurances cry!


But that was before I am under his team now. Which causes strain to our friendship. I really want to be his friend, as much as he is to my husband and among other friends. But we "cannot" ... it's true what they say, I used to NOT believe that we should avoid working with our friends, our spouse or relative but now I know why. It's really hard to not get personal when your working habits is not in the same level, or if your understanding of the work is not the same ... it gets personal. That's why ... yeah, maybe we could put our friendship past this project. I know, 'sounds stupid ... it's doesn't seem like REAL friendship but I do believe we cannot BUILD real friendships at the work especially with your boss anymore ... "COULD" but not for me now. It's not the same. Friendships are hurt by work, though I'm not sure if it would really hurt to my marriage if I happen to work with my husband ... but a strong part of me says it WONT. We're a team, we've always been!

anyway, complaining wont make it any better, filing a descrimination case would make it worse than losing the friendship itself... (I wasn't serious at that thought!) So I sit here, fiddle with my pens, write e-mails to friends, rationalizing, munching on snacks for the -nth time, totter back and forth the hallway feeling the weight of "uselessness" on my favorite choco brown flats ... why would I even care wearing my best? Doing my eyeliner for 10 minutes when the only exposure I get is when getting a print out of the printer!!! No meetings, no discussions, lousy, lousy walk to the printer and that's it... dread.

Oh well, I might as well buy more yarns, you can never get enough yarns to make you happy! ^^

BIG GIRLS DON"T CRY....they wail!

ok no more patronizing looks, I'm fine. It's not enough that I wasn't invited for the site visit yesterday that I'm not invited too for the meeting this morning. I'm soooo not liking this. I will charge them with sexual discrimination eventually, if the reason why I can't go to the site is because I'm a WOMAN and my boss doesn't want those stares when I walk in. That really makes me mad now ... I didn't make those drawings so others could read them for me, I am a MATCH for these guys and they just wont let me get the same opportunity just because I'm a GIRL??? WTF. Well, that's how far I'm reading it ... for as long as I've been working in this industry that they always give me the "girly" things to do whenever there's a choice between a technical drawing and typing on an excel file, they'd give me the "typing" on the excel file and the guy who's in level with me gets the drawing ... why??? just because I'm a GIRL???!!! I don't want "comforts!" if it means that I wont be able to prove myself. I'm not perfect, I'm not the best ... but don't magnify my mistakes just because "again" I'm a GIRL! and they don't expect us to be technical! WOW. 5 years in the Design and Engineering Department, I've been to Italy, the US and Thailand doing what I do (technical stuff) and here? Now? this comes up?!!! Why??? oh why???!!! I'm not perfect, I'm not the best, but I'm NOT STUPID, I know what you're trying to do ... but I won't let you!

>>my girl Cyril<<

the girl @ the center in Stripes is Cyril @ my wedding. 'You go girl!

We're letting her pack her belongings and bid us all goodbye, we're NOT stopping her at all. GO! NOW!

She's young, smart and beautiful, it's just so right for her to seize every opportunity that comes her way, and so she will, starting off in Singapore. One of our structural engineers at 23, she's got a bright future ahead having that ambition and confidence, she will go far! I think it's also the independence that she seeks if not the most ... as you know here,it's not usual to go independent even if you're earning your own money for as long as you are not married and you work within the same city you grew up in, living with your parents is highly acceptable EVEN when you're forty!

So yes! As a supporter for indepedence and independent women, I agree with her going for her dreams and taking on new challenges in life. I myself have left home for work in a BIGGER CITY, already 24 that time but still got a chance to be independent with my money, my time and decisions. I do miss my parents and siblings a lot, especially dad's cooking but you see it makes us better as a person in many ways, to be by ourselves and tend to our own needs ... while "of course" whenever I want, I can go visit my home town and stay with my parents. It's a Miley Cyrus song, "you get the Best of Both Worlds..." ^^

So now, I can only wish my girl Cyril the best, she's got what it takes to make it BIG wherever she goes! We're all happy for her.^^

back in the day

If I were to describe myself in any way that I cannot do anything about and does not plan to do something about for the rest of my life and will die on being it, is that I'm a true blooded Filipino with NO mix of any other heritage but Filipino .... OK, OK, I'm part Filipino, part caffeine! Which gives me more than a billion other siblings for the caffeine part!

Anyway, my dear half blooded brothers and sisters for the caffeine part ... I've recently joined a facebook group called "Old Philippines" and as you know, I'm not easy to please by just any group or apps, that I have by far meticulously approved only 500 or so ... what??? Don't give me that look! 500 is good.

I found this one very amusing. I'm an old soul, what can I say? I like looking at old photos, imagining what it was like then and if the sky was really brown faded??? ^^ kidding! I just like looking back ... it wont hurt. It makes me feel good being what I am, being who I am and proud to be it... After all, who we are is rooted from the past regardless of how much we change and how far we've gone to divert our interests ... color our hair, bleach our skin, rid of the accent ... who we are is who we are. We cannot undo the part of how we came into this world.

Here's a glimpse of the past ... starting off with of course some OLD FASHION. ^^ These dresses are still worn today for programs and special events but is given a modern twist. The last time I was able to wear one was when I was on the 6th grade! While my sister, because she's a teacher gets to wear one of these for several times in a year!

The "butterfly sleeves" as what the elders say is kept straight and stiff when outside the home, for in those times if you wrinkle it, it means that you have been "hugging" someone ... which was a big NO, NO. If you were caught holding hands, it already means marriage!

woman in yellow

I'm not into politics but I do know when the government is doing bad or good, as basic as that and since I'm now among those who are in the "work force" and not living by my parents allowance and diligently pays taxes, I take a direct hit when they do stupid-fishy things like stealing and deceit. Yeah well. Who among you can attest that your government is 100% percent clean with excellent service record? Nobody.



But there was a time in our history when we had a glorious moment. As momentous as Obama winning it with his CHANGE slogan. It was a moment when a former school teacher and a plain housewife was thrust into politics to take the country's topmost political rank, as President of the Republic of the Philippines. I was only 6 years old then and in Grade 1 ... what do I know? ... what will be my memoirs of her and the 1986 EDSA People Power Revolution that ousted Ferdinand Marcos and his wife Imelda Marcos from power?



Well, that moment went down to history and watched on TV specials from time to time, her husband the late Ninoy Aquino who was slain at the tarmac of then Manila International Airport in 1983 is a National Hero. I sure know that the Democracy we are enjoying today is because of his ideals and his wife following in his footsteps. She was a grieving widow, she has told her children that their father has given his life for the country and she now understands why by the words of her late husband, "The Filipino is worth dying for" she must take the lead.



The world watched when the young widow came to power, a woman leader. The world was inspired by the people for it's peaceful uprising, when the government of 1986 sent tanks and soldiers, the people brought flowers and food. It was a miracle of miracles that brought the country together in peace, with one voice and prayer. That change should come to the Philippines and it will start with a president elected by the people, who is Cory Aquino.

A woman of simplicity, of prayer and truth, of grace and composure, ... Her campaign color was yellow, she was sworn in as the President of the Republic in a simple yellow dress and is seen most of the time in yellow. Yellow is her color.

------------------------------------------------

Today August 1, 2009, the La Salle Greenhills gymnasium is filled with people in line and in waiting for her. As she finally arrives, there was a loud, roaring applause as yellow confetti was showered upon her just like it did at the Makati Business Center on her vistory parade...

But this time, she is watching it from heaven. She is gone. The mother of our Democracy is gone ... pictures, videos, news about her, came to light once more that beyond the mourning, we are to realize that her life was well lived, in fact "best" lived for any human in this world.

She will live on, in all of our hearts and with that we are sure that her role in history is safely guarded.

perfectly imperfect

masculine lines eh?

I was lent a book by our Structural Engineer about writing. YUP! writing...besides being our senior struc. engineer, a family man, 'guy with lots of stories and advice to share about life, HE writes... and how I wish I could...because I'm not a writer per se, just like owning a guitar but doesn't really play it, I write. I write without knowing if I get my message across 'loud and clear! 'I know lots of other bloggers do, with beautiful-expressive words and that sort of made me ... "hey! wait-a-minute" myself ... because I'm nothing like that.

I don't usually wake up with days that's bursting with ideas on what to put on my blog and all will be brilliant and funny and witty... and how I wish I could. BUT nah-ah! like many contadictions in my life, I have plenty much skill but none that I master!

Like when I pick up a piece of paper and start doodling, I end up making quite a masterpriece as they say, with my hands working on lines that are too masculine, dark and heavy that no one would even suspect it's my work ... (damn! even line-strokes has gender!!!) BUT when I'm asked to do something for like an art contest or exhibit or something, I LOSE IT...I don't know where my hands had kept those "muscle-memory" for me to make all those strokes come out in a canvass! YUP, frustrating ... a lot of times that I had to deal with standing up in a room full of other "artsists" only to stare at my blank palette and brush untouched. I have dealt with a mentor who looked at me with huge disappointment like I had sank Titanic ... So NO. I'm not a true artist. Besides not being a good writer, I'm no artist. If having the attitude and moodiness of an artist counts, then yeah, I'm one.

... BUT before I make a complete realization of how my life is extraordinarily typical. I'll stop. I'm not perfect but I'm not too hard on myself either. If I can't do it like others can, I wont dwell on it, I'm probably bound to do other things, better things ... different, but that makes me, ME. So, I'm gonna do ME. Like what everyone should.

MM: never before seen photos of her.

These candid photos were taken pre-stardom of Norma Jean Dougherty. You might wanna see more, click here. (LIFE Magazine)

i shopped.

carved designs on dark wood bangles, Php 50 each (about $ 1.64)


Great for Office Shoes with 2" heels in Black @ Php 250 (about $ 5)

Great for Shopping etc. flat Shoes in choco brown denim and bronze accent @ Php 250 (about $ 5)

....Because your money can go along, long way around here. Especially for clothes, shoes and accessories. If you know where to find the best places to shop, spot good quality and haggle, haggle, haggle ... you'll find many great things!!! I found these things at St. Francis Square in Mandaluyong! Great buys all the time!

down and out

It was bad yesterday, not as I expected to have a perfect bill of health and walk away the hospital feeling light and breezy! Now, it's a heart ailment I got. Somehow my ECG revealed a skip in the manner that my heart beats ... hmmnn... when will I get back into my normal self. I'm already getting annoyed of going back and forth the hospital and around sick people. OK, I'm counting myself with them but the thing is: I don't feel a thing. I feel great! I miss my daily routine, I want my life back. BUT this week will hardly be normal for me and maybe the next week too, as tests will continue. I hate this. That's all.

Going under the knife. If only I'm a getting nose job!

'was out yesterday and again went to the Doctor. This time I got ECG in prep for the "tissue extraction" I'm undergoing for biopsy... it's just a minor surgery as my Doc said... but 'ya know, hearing the word surgery is like "whoa!" whether it's minor or major or whatever key it is ... uhmm ... haha.

Anyway, yeah of course I'm scared. I would be lying if I say I'm brave and I'm confident that many had had it and the risks are very low. I'm shivering inside, I just don't show it 'cuz hey! it's MINOR! 30 minutes and it's done. grrr... why am I so being negative?! I'm worried! Maybe it's the whole "putting-me-to-sleep" that's scary. I hate being not in control of things and not being able to know while I'm asleep. silly me! of course I don't see myself sleeping, has anyone have? weird!

It's the idea that I'd be put out of conscious while people I don't really know are around. Though it's a guaranteed 1st class hospital with celebrities and high profile people go to.heehee (thanks to my health card, I got access.) still... if only I could get around with it! I would.

hmmn... well, let's just pray things will work out fine and I'm sure you will all be there for me, in thoughts and in spirit. My husband and my mom will be there for me definitely! I'd never go to the hospital alone. NEVER.

ooopppsss. time to cut this short. I have a dinner with my hubby and our boss tonight! so... see ya later!

of OB issues and bookstore

On our way home it was really cold, rainy and dark. We hopped into a cab, where a looove song was being played, we hardly took notice what the song was until it played again ... and again ... and again. OK, so the driver likes the song ... perhaps, looovveeed the song ... that I started to giggle at the back seat while my husband stared at me like: "what?" "what? this is the 3rd time! ... that song" I said half whispering. "yeah, I know" was all my husband had to say, but I know him too well to do a cover up, he's just being nice and is trying to keep it to himself, until we got out of the cab and we started singing. Now and Forever, Air Supply.

He must be a romantic guy, the driver. He's about 50 years old and could he still be inlove? well, why not! It might be his "love song" for the woman he thinks about while we endured the song for 4 times in a row! tsk. tsk. If it's love, I'm all for that!

TODAY... was the appoinment I had with my OB, and I had to say the the wait was more than the time I spent inside the lab where they had given me an ultrasound... what the heck was seen, I don't know ... I had to go back on Thursday for the results ... The doctor was so busy she can't hand me the results right away, she said she needs to do measurements with it.

Right, measure a print of my reproductive insides ... how long would it take? a day?! jeez. I have work. But in these cases, you have to be very careful with your words ... you cannot be too pushy and rough on Doctors, Nurses and Lab Technicians. They could make you really sick if they choose too! haha kidding or give you drugs that will make you think you could walk on the moon! I mean ... well, if it's nothing too serious, I could wait and go back on thursday, No problem.

Anyway, I have here an image of the ultrasound my OB took and no matter how hard I try to visualize things, or see something that's familiar like the shapes you see in Science books, I can't. So, it'll stay in my bag until Thursday. 'Hope it's nothing serious. 'Hope those swirls and stuff looks the same with all women!

hmmn... oh besides OB issues, I have recently visited a bookstore that's really cool because you can read the sample books, they have copies that are opened and are placed in front of the stack of new books for sale. Really cool, you can sit on their couches and if you ran out of couch, you can find yourself a quiet nook inside for reading. Just as long as you don't disturb the one's who are actually buying, it's OK. (uhmm ...what? the concept is not new? ... aarrgghh) Well, I still love Powerbooks (the bookstore) ... It just feels like my highschool library, only that it's a lot well stocked and there's a cafe adjoining it. So ... books and coffee ... who'd hate to be there?

Well, ciao for now. Tomorrow, I'll be talking about India.

all females, are you getting one?

What's for today is what was yesterday, as I'm still here at home not going to work for the 2nd day of my OB-Gyn Tests (how fun!) yeah, whatever. Well, I may be getting the HPV anti-cervical cancer vaccine, yikes. I don't know how long this vaccine had been available that I'm now 28 and I'm just getting one. My mom doesn't even have one nor my sister. My friends just had theirs and I think all women should get one. It has a great promise of keeping women off Cervical Cancer and other cancers that affect womens' reproductive system, 'sounds really good.

Time out!

This is my first try on diverting my interest from the science of Architecture with all its restricted dimensions and true to life scale into a more spontaneous form of art... Taadaa! Fashion. oooh! What do I know about it? Well, I dress up everyday, I don't go around naked (wrinkling my forehead)... OR not even trying to mix and match the stuff that I got in my closet everytime I go out. So I guess that makes me a person who knows what fashion is ... wait... I sound like any other girl. NORMAL. Not like a high fashion somebody who could talk clothes and accessories like it's a limb or something that's been born with them. I'm just me and the clothes that any woman or girl could wear. Mere suggestions of what and where to find them... and! just because I enjoy picking out the clothes and colors to pull an outfit together is enough for me. I'm not really changing my world, I'm just opening new doors.

I'm dropping skyscrapers to do make-up

Afterall, there are more people who can do buildings than making themselves look good... I mean look good with make-up! I've now reached a point in my life where I have developed wants, passions and hobbies. I think I could do it all, right? If I wanted to? ... That, I may be over with pursuing a career on something that I thought I love but now is just a job ... I now have it ... The climb is steady and its already here ... It's just up to my boss if he really wants to make me into something, because right now, I have been working so hard for 4 years, did the "bubbly-yeah-I-can-do-anything-you-practically-throw-at-me-stuff" that I'm now left exhausted and yes! I still wanted that promotion you gave away to someone who you think is better than me! ... really? Of course I'd disagree, but ...whatever, you know. I'm just easing up a bit more and once this global financial crisis is over, I'd be out the door the minute it happens! Husband in tow.

... but what I want to write about actually is having some goals after your goals.

I have listed 5 things that I want to continue doing and 5 things that I want to learn about.

Here's the 5 "I want to continue doing" list:

1. Do painting, sketching and crafts more.

2. Do go back into dancing and running.

3. Do continue my Italian language lessons!

4. Do go back into business. (used to run a food business and school supplies, NOW I want clothing and shoes)

5. Do go out more ... travel, swimming, picnic ... long walks and driving.

And here's my "I want to learn about" list:

1. Doing make-up professionally. I want to be a make-up artist.
I don't know anything yet about make-up but soon I will!!!

2. How to cook. I mean, really COOK!

3. Photography and Graphic Design.

4. YOGA!

5. Becoming a vegetarian!

Some are long term goals, but most are things I could do right away! I already feel better just by listing things down. Maybe because, it makes me realize that I have options or things for me beyond work and being a wife. It is never too late to be something or someone! You could be 60 and become an actress! ... I could still learn the guitar or become an astronaut! ... ok ... probably not an astronaut ... but who knows, I could be that too, so I wrote it down!!!

Anyway, have goals after goals and after goals. That is what life is all about. You only stop dreaming when you're on to sleep forever!!! So good luck and weave those dreams of yours, NOW!
