I haven’t had coffee yet since I am truly very busy doing some stuff I needed done before the end of the day. But I can’t continue functioning like this without caffeine cruising in my blood stream.
I will get up in a minute to fix myself a cup of coffee. You want one, too?
Happy Monday guys!
Sister and best friend
Filed Under: And Think @ May 13, 2012 | No Comments
Lana and Fiona are sisters. The latter is the older one by approximately ten months. Lana’s an accident baby according to their parents. With that so close an age gap, they grew up like twins! They share most of their stuff including clothes and since they are very near in age, their parents decided to send them to school together, at the same time.
They are also best of friends. They have the same set of friends and bond over girl stuff. They do things together and as a sign of their friendship, they are wearing the same sterling silver bracelets that they bought using their allowance from school.
They are bonded for life not only through their blood but also through the friendship they share.
November born
Filed Under: And Think @ May 13, 2012 | No Comments
She was born on the 18th of November. Every year her parents would give her something on her natal day and the last one she got was her november birthstone. She asked her dad to help her make it a pendant so she can wear it around her neck. It’s much better than a ring as she isn’t so used to wearing one.
She will be turning 18 this year. She is excited for the gift her parents promised her to be the most special one so far. She can’t wait to find out what it is!
She is praying it be a car so she can finally have hers.
Grandma’s promise
Filed Under: And Think @ May 13, 2012 | No Comments
Jamie’s grandma promised her and her siblings that she will give them some of her great jewelry as soon as she manages to sort them out. She has a lot, more than enough for each one of them. Some cousins will also be given a piece of two but Jamie and her siblings will be first in line to be given.
Jamie is more of a watch person than anything else. But the jewelry pieces are from her grandma whom she loves very much. She will treasure whatever she’s given and will hold on to it so she can pass it to her children in the future.
Flash mob
Filed Under: And Think @ May 13, 2012 | No Comments
My friends and I were surprised by a flash mob dancing at our favorite food strip. We were dining al fresco when all of a sudden a number of people started dancing in the middle of the plaza. If not for the retractable queue around the place, they might have danced even at the sidewalks.
We were amused by it! They were dancing to the tune of a very popular song so we were trying to keep from dancing along with them. One of my friends even stood up to clap while the mob danced away!
It was my first time to see a flash mob and it was totally entertaining! They stopped and went their separate ways after the music ended.

She is studying photography. She is using an old camera of her mom’s and is already thinking of getting herself a new one as soon as her mom says yes. She is asking money from her and she told her that she can cut the money from her allowance. A few bucks at a time, of course, as she can’t afford to have her allowance totally cut off.
She will use wolf camera coupons in purchasing her camera. She promised her mom that she will take care of it like she did with hers.
She is thinking she will say yes this week, as soon as her paycheck comes in. She can’t wait!
Memories of summer
Filed Under: Over A Cup of Coffee @ May 13, 2012 | No Comments
Summer is almost over and I haven’t made much memories of it yet. Oh, there were some but those weren’t truly good ones.
Memories of a loved one passing…
Being mad at friends over insensitivity…
Fights with siblings…
And some good ones of friends standing out from the rest for helping me out when I needed it most.
But not enough fun summer memories that I can look back to when I can no longer have summer fun.
:p
Retirement place
Filed Under: And Think @ May 13, 2012 | No Comments
Husband and wife invested some of their retirement money on a log cabin. They have been dreaming of a log cabin in their favorite vacation spot for years and now it’s finally happening. Their kids chipped in to get them log furniture to match the cabin and some other stuff to get the overall feel of the place.
They are talking about holding a small gathering of their closest relatives and friends there. Husband and wife are also planning to talk to their kids about them spending most of their days there. The place is quiet and peaceful, perfect for seniors like them who are already sensitive to the noises of city life.
Unique kind of artistry
Filed Under: And Think @ May 13, 2012 | No Comments
Ben is known for his unique kind of artistry. He molds steel and other items together to form art. I’ve seen this kind of art at a gallery near my former place of work and it’s truly something you can appreciate more if you are into unique stuff.
But let me tell you, it’s gaining an audience and more and more artists are going into it so Ben is building steel workshops where he can hold lessons. There are inquiries on it already and I heard that he is planning to hold classes only twice a week.
I am sure his classes will be packed!
To and from work

The pirelli motorcycle tires will be delivered tomorrow. He bought a motorcycle that he can bring to work. He is tired of commuting and often bemoans the fact that riding in public transportation can bring him more harm than good. He has sensitive skin and there were instances in the past that he got some skin problems from when he brushed someone else’s sweaty skin.
So when he was offered an installment plan for a motorcycle, he grabbed the offer and is now just making sure he will be safe taking it out on the road.
Aside from the fact that his skin can now breathe easier (smoke from other vehicles hopefully blocked by his jacket), he also has a way to navigate the city better and not having to get stuck in traffic.
Sacrifice for her parents
Filed Under: And Think @ May 13, 2012 | No Comments
She is doing it for her parents. She is sacrificing her dream of becoming a fashion model to become a nurse so that later on in life her parents will have someone to take care of them, someone who knows what they’re doing. That would be her.
Her parents are sickly people and she knows it’s just a matter of time before she has to set up a computer cart in her parents room to put monitors on to for their heartbeat and pulse. The sacrifice of her dream for her parents is nothing to her. She is an only child and, of course, she’s the only one who can really take care of them if the time comes they needed someone to do so.
Generous older brother

Tristan needs to pay for fuel system parts but his paycheck got cancelled due to an error in the company’s Payroll department. It will take a week since those who will sign papers and checks are out of the country for some very important business seminars. So now Tristan has no money to pay for it.
He went to his older brother to ask for a loan that he would pay for the minute he gets his paycheck released. Do you know what his older brother did? He gave him money! Yes, gave instead of lent him some.
Tristan was so surprised by the gesture! He learned later on that his brother got promoted and received a hefty bonus from his bosses.
Quote for today…
Filed Under: Today's Thoughtful Quote @ May 11, 2012 | No Comments
The quality of everything we do: our physical actions, our verbal actions, and even our mental actions, depends on our motivation. That’s why it’s important for us to examine our motivation in our day to day life. If we cultivate respect for others and our motivation is sincere, if we develop a genuine concern for others’ well-being, then all our actions will be positive.
- Dalai Lama
We get back what we throw out into the world. If we give respect, we get it back. If we are positive, chances are positive energy will also come into our lives. It’s motivation that will dictate what we throw out there so make sure you are positively motivated today, tomorrow and the days after that.
Happy Friday everyone!
Oceanside dinner party
Filed Under: And Think @ May 11, 2012 | No Comments
It was supposed to be a sad night since they will be parting ways and will take years possibly before they can see each other again. But there were trips down the good memory lane and lots of laughter. There’s good food and warm lights. There were dipped berries and treats and the night turned out really lovely for everyone.
It’s a night to remember and although they are not sure if they will be able to see each other again, they at least know that they will remain friends for as long as they are breathing.
No matter what.
It’s an oceanside dinner party that the friends will remember for a long time.
Lights went out!
Filed Under: And Think @ May 11, 2012 | No Comments
It was raining so hard the other night that according to my cousin John, it almost ruined his gig at a well-known bar in the city. Thanks to the saft battery that a friend if his had that night, it powered a small means of light and the gig went on. It became an acoustic night of sorts and the crowd loved it!
So the lights going out became a blessing in disguise for John. Now my cousin is being asked to come back for weekend gigs for the rest of the month of May until July. After which the bar’s manager and my cousin will talk again for possible regular feature of him in the bar for the rest of the year.
Wow!
