The only way to love is to love with all your heart. Anything less is cowardice!

Slice of Life

I've just been served a rather painful slice of life today.

My ex-future pizza supplier shared last night that some other tenant at the bazaar I will be joining has just started selling pizzas. Mr. Supplier's pizzas!

Dang. Talk about a painful twist of fate.

No other recourse now but to graciously step back and admit... boohoo!... defeat.

I'm hurrying to find a product to replace the pizza. So far, so good, but it requires more draining of financial resources.

Need to find more economical everything! ...from supplies, equipment to transportation... everything!

By the way, I'm still awaiting my BIG car with the CUTE driver. Any volunteer? Hehehe..

Rock Bottom

Talk to a man about the weather, politics, the stockmarket and you have an animated conversation waiting to happen. But ask a man to talk about his feelings; and you have an animated conversation waiting to combust!

What is it about feelings that men find it so hard to divulge them? They will take out the garbage for you; carry your groceries for you; change poo-laden diapers, no matter how yuck; but they will not--no, NEVER--divulge what lies at the bottom of their hearts.

Here are a few, nakakaiyak examples:

Lady: Why do we need to see each other?
Current Date: Do you ask that of your other friends!
Lady: (Friend?!?) Uh.. sometimes I do, if only to find out what their plans are.

Note: Mr. Friendly Friend has showered her with stuffed toys, flowers, other gifts outside her birthday, Christmas Day and other special occasions.

* * *

Lady: Hey. What happened to you? You suddenly vanished.
Erstwhile Date: I lost your number. Here's my new number. What's yours?

Note: Erstwhile Date has her email address.

* * *

Lady to a 50-something man: Will you take it against me if I go against your suggestion? I mean, will you get angry?

After 48 years:

Man: ----

* * *

And I thought I wanted to get married?!? ... WA HA HA!!

Catch-up Tidbits

TIDBIT No. 1: I'd like to congratulate my dear kikay friend Ligaya, whose blog, is on its way to fame, based on the number of hits and visitors it continues to receive. One male fan, she told me recently, even went as far as calling her up at home to tell her that for such a long time now, he's been looking for someone "sane" to talk to. And he found her! Woohoo...! Well.. hate to burst your bubble, dearie. But you actually got the WRONG number, dude. "Sane" is the last adjective that will ever fit Ligaya well. Ask her. Haha!

TIDBIT No. 2: Business planning is unexpectedly going well. Only thing lacking now is a BIG car to transport all my bazaar supplies and equipment from home to venue. A CUTE driver to go with the BIG car won't be such a bad addition. Haha! But of course, I will gladly settle for my brother-in-law to drive me, anytime. Thanks, kuya! On hindsight, this is one of those times I WISH I had learned how to drive, already. Dang, dang, dang!

TIDBIT No. 3: Saw Mr. Frog last week on cable TV. His second screen appearance. First he was an expert on dreams. This time he was a helper of depressed and suicidal souls. Hello, identity check. WHAT KIND OF AN EXPERT ARE YOU, REALLY?

Wish I can say he's handsome on screen. He could've been... had he not lost so much weight to the point that he looks tired and old. Worse yet, he had a growing moustache. A moustache! Fer crying out loud! A friend said he looks dirty with it. Wanted to shave off the ugly thing, right then and there. Of course, now being out of his life, I can't. (Paging Current Date of Mr. Frog: Alagaan mo naman siya, iha!)
