Mi Vida sin Mi

Mi Vida Sin Mi:

I wonder why they don't make a movie about the person that gets left behind. Showing that person as he/she goes through with something with someone and then is left behind. I think they did have this one movie with Richard E. Grant where he is left with this baby and doesn't know what to do with it.

Eventually he finds a babysitter, falls in love with her, and things are peachy.

Even in this movie, things are falling into place even as the main character's organs are probably falling apart. Things may not be peachy, but they will be.

Aside: i ruff mark ruffalo.

Anyhow, so after this movie that my Spanish teacher gave to me defining it as "una pellicula trista" (or so), I came back into my room, and saw the flowers that I had bought myself when I was walking back home after Spanglish lesson. They made everything better. Flowers are wonderful, even as gifts to oneself :)

My excuse was that I shall use them to paint but they've done a good enough job already of brightening the room. I want to be like a new-Mom and take pictures of the little babies in the vase, but I've taken enough. Plus, once I start with the camera I can get a little manic and start taking pictures of bookshelves, blankets, bags, candles, the ipod - ze bossipilities are endlez. So, less is more.

Two sunflowers with some other flower in the vase. Pretty.

Perhaps, perhaps, perhaps..

Prettier perhaps than the poem, is that I remember it today while it came to me last night:

I want
a thic-
-ker skin.
A bin
to put
my tro-
-ubles in.


I finally took the trouble to cook myself something. It seems nutritious and filling, but its not tasty! :S I am banning cinammon from my wannabe-cook-routine. It just messed up my good food. :S Too many spices spoil the broth :S Though what I made confirms that I want to stay vegetarian cos it tastes like meat. I think tomato cooked with some cinammon does that. I didn't have some other spices, so i thought i'd substitute. I just hope my tummy doesn't complain later. I cooked eat, so I better eat it :)

It is hard to decide whether or not to delete people from one's contact list on MSN. People one does not talk to, and one does not plan to talk to. Or people that just don't respond. I actually hate chat devices, except for a few peeps, I really don't want to chat with everyone I am visible/available to. And the people I usually chat with are people that will take the trouble of writing to me, anyways. Chat is just so weird. :-s I think I'll abandon my MSN with an R.I.P. sign. Actually, have any of you done this? I'm afraid of possible withdrawal symptoms, but I am going to give it a try.

'Get in the Picture'

There is a sign i pass by daily on my way to work. It has the picture of a beach, which says at the top "Get in the Picture" and at the bottom, "Why are you still here?"

I have the eerie feeling that it is speaking to me. Today, before arriving at that particular strip of road, I made a resolution to turn the other way. Of course, I got too curious thinking about if the sign was still there in the first place. Sure enough, there was the beach sandwiched between the reminders.

Although the message may be for me, that picture certainly isn't. Sharm el-Sheikh for a vacation, nevaaaaaaaaaah!

Basata may be nicer tho.
