Confections of a Workaholic

(a.k.a Why I Love to Work, The Sweet Reasons of Working)

This list is unordered:

1. Money. Money is the root of all evil, and nobody's perfect. Being imperfect leads to being evil and since we are in an imperfect world THEN we need money! (i know my logic is bad...hehehe, but you got the point right?)

2. Friends. no, not the breathing human coworkers. These are those friends you got to talk and share your opinions because they are not there physically. They live inside facebook's chat or in YMs, or inside comment boxes.

3. Surf. Don't want to get wet? But you could get drowned though so be careful.

4. This may sound weird but - I love the sound of typing. The music it makes when my fingers touch the keys of the keyboard, its like a composition without a score. (geeky)

5. Learning - seriously, we work because we WANT to learn, RELEARN, and continue LEARNING and whatever words with LEARN on it.

the love that never was

i can be honest, but cant be true

can be tearfully joyful, yet blue

seek in me the truth, cause all youll see is you

but dont be fooled because that love was never you

yes it was a love that never was

maybe not as tender as our hearts

cause for all these years were through

i did never forget the feeling so true

and in time we'll find our destinies

forgive me and the time I've wasted

fate and faithfully praying

well see each whom we've fated

Joanna's Sendoff

Over a year ago it was me whom my friends sent off, sadly now we're saying adieu to Joanna - Mam Jo, which I can claim is one of the most outstanding employee.

One thing I'm sure about Mam Jo is that she's one of the smartest person I know - I'll bet everyone who knows her would totally agree.

Mam Jo I think everyone already signed your scrapbook, and you know that we are just here for you always. Don't forget us. Pray for us.

Hoping that what you embark on will give you the happiness and joy of following your path. Expect us to visit you one first Sunday sometime!

As tatay Nish wrote on your scrapbook - see you on your next life! ?Whahaha
Seriously, you'll surely be missed.

Future Violinist?

As always, children are amazing! Or at the very least, children always amazes me.

Here is my nephew, barely two (2) years old imitating how to play the violin. There is a story how he learned to imitate the movements of a violinist even though none in our family are musicians nor do we have an actual violin.

YouTube. That's it, that's the explanation why my nephew learned how to "play" the "violin".

It was probably that my mother or one of my siblings watching the music video of Celine Dion's To Love You More that my nephew, Lance, saw and probably liked the tune of it. I realized that children absorbs every information you threw at them like sponge on water. As my mother fondly recalls, my nephew would and still will request the music video once he sees anyone of us using the computer.

Being, so far, the only grandson of my parents - he gets what he wants, or more accurately he gets what his grandparents "thinks" he wants. It was just a matter of days that he got a plastic guitar and stick to fully imitate the violinist.

And Im gonna tell you he really put his feelings in every performance (just look the picture)!

Yes, I miss being a child, no big problems to think about, no immediate future to worry - but hey I'm already digressing.

Lance, enjoy playing your "violin", maybe it is time to learn a new piece?
