lost cause
i'm really happy for all of those wonderful people that
connect with one another on this new thing we
call "prendster" (as my dad would pronounce it)
...but you know, when you can barely get to the site
or when you're logged in but are unable to move to the next page
after several tries, the gods MUST be trying to tell you something.
Like, "STAY AWAY"..."BAD FOR YOU"

i SWEAR that's what I hear everytime I log in. I don't think
they'll ever let me in that stupid site until they start charging!
Eh, who cares? Blogging is better anyways! :)

and the flowers bloom
you just know when you meet a genuinely good/kind person.
too bad for me it took a little while to realize those qualities
in one of my co-workers.
'can't help but smile cause beneath that sarcastic, loud exterior
lies a heart of gold.
you wouldn't believe it at first impressions either.
hehehe....it's good to know I'm still blessed to be
surrounded by good people.

another sushi dinner
sharing a tempura, teriyaki salmon and fried tempura sushi rolls
always brings me and the bf together.
listening to his photography plans in between each dip of sushi into my soy sauce/wasabi mix
makes everything taste better.

'pondered about how to start a little "jam session"
with my massage therapist colleagues at the spa -
just like my bf's monthly photography community-share with his colleagues.
I read in Art and Fear that getting together with people
who share your same passions is one of the best ways
to keep your "Art" going and growing.
That makes sense to me cause that's exactly how community/social work is.
I'm all about those kinds of organic processes.
I swear, it's been a while since I've been part of one!

cosmic forces or not?
once again, I'm convinced that the planets are aligned for me and my cousin in London.
I read her blog entry this morning and freaked out!

Hey CHI, if you're reading this, I, too, was trying to "unleash" my pen
onto my journal last night and was thinking the SAME things you were in your entry.
But, yours was much more eloquently written of course. :)

It's scary sometimes how parallel our lives have been ever since I got back in touch with her.

That reminds me of the handful of friends I have who are
eerily on the "same plane" with me (it's like being in the twilight zone)....you know,
the ones who are thinking the EXACT same thing you are at the same moment.
OR the friends who finish your sentence because they just happen to be
saying the same thing at the same moment you are.
Damn, what do you call that?
It's like we're connected by some cosmic forces or something!
