What's the difference between marmalade and jam?

Yes, sometimes I talk to God. In my head. Like today. I was inside the fx on the way to work, flanked by 3 others. One on my right and two on my left. My bag is on my lap, left hand holding a biggie size Coke and my right holding a paper bag that contains fries from McDonald's. Squeezed like that and maybe looking harassed while drinking and eating fries, I sighed in relief when one on my left stopped at City Hall. More space for me and my bag and my elbows. I hoped that no more passenger will hail this fx and squeeze in to make us four again, but then I thought that maybe it's the driver's first drive this morning so it's a pity if he doesn't earn and I said okay fine God's will. Right God?

Thank you God I was able to watch the third season ender of Alias. Not as kick-ass as Season 1 or 2, but still Lauren got shot a lot of times by the Fafa Vaughn. Whoowee!

Last night was Buffy's super final episode. Sniff, sniff. Anya died. Spike died. Angel showed up and gave me more hope that eventually Buffy and him will still end up together.

Thank you for entertainment like this that makes me forget my money problem.

On Wednesdays thru Fridays, my work starts at 12 noon so I can either take an early lunch at home or a late lunch at work. For sure, my breaktime during these days will almost always include a trip to the Japan Foundation library at the Pacific Star Building. When I'm there, I practice my Katakana and read Banana Yoshimoto's Kitchen.

It has been a while since I jotted down something I read from a book. Here's one now from Kitchen:

Sotaru had said that even though she'd been seeing him for a year, Yuichi's girlfriend didn't understand the slightest thing about him, and it made her angry. She said Yuichi was inacapable of caring more for a girl than he did for a fountain pen.

Because I wasn't in love with Yuichi, I understood that very well. The quality and importance of a fountain pen meant to him something completely different from what it meant to her. Perhaps there are people in this world who love their fountain pens with every fiber of their being - and that's sad. If your not in love with him, you can understand him

The conversation we just had was like a glimpse of stars through a chink in a cloudy sky.

The glass pane is dotted with silver rain drops from the afternoon downpour making up for the starless sky while the landscape is dotted with orange-yellow city lights and my face reflected before them. Uncapture moment. Feeling model in music video with Utada Hikaru singing "Final Distance"

I keep eyeing J's rice crispies. Looking at it made me think of Lolo Bitong, my Dad's Dad. He used to bring home these big bars of rice crispies from the market when I was a kid in Bacolod.

Alias Season 3 Episode 21
Syet, syet, Mars! Matatapos na sya at sobrang exciting! Aaaay konti na lang...

Suffice it to say that add to the warmth here in the office on a Sunday, I was hot.

Last Samurai Comments:

"Shit! They shot Silent Bob!" (Silent Bob is the silent samurai cum babysitter of Tom Cruise's character Capt. Nathan)

"Aw..." (With matching tear when the last few samurais left where gunned down with that big armalite thingie. I don't think I spelled it right)

N asked if it's okay with me that we switch schedules. It's supposed to be my day off this Sunday then back to work Monday and him the opposite. He has overnight outing with his friends starting Saturday that is why he wants a trade. I said yes, okay. I get the feeling again. Nothing against N. I am feeling left behind, that I've got nothing to do so I might as well work. Why can't I ask for a leave just like that? Because there is nothing to take a leave for. I don't even have much time to binge on movies. Maybe I should make a list like Justine in "Tough Love". Ten things that I've never done before and dare myself to do?
