I was pretty mad with the start of the day. It was early morning, around 8:30, when mom asked me to come with Janus and a maintenance staff to pick up all the rented chairs and tables from the address she gave me (If you don't know, we own a party needs business).
I did.
Now that we were there, I counted the table clothes if they were complete. It so happen that they were not. I asked the maid with all respect if there's one left inside the house, it's a table cloth for the buffet table.
When the maid came back, she was already with an old grumpy lady. The old grumpy lady said," Bare in mind that I will never have interest with your cheap table cloth!"
I was shocked. I just asked if there's another one left since there is actually missing. Then as she spoke, it made me mad.
I didn't say anything. She then continued,"It was my first time to have you here, then I had a bad experience with you! why are you accusing me for hiding your rubbish table cloth!"
Another shocking moment. It was like I was slapped on my face!
Since she is old and her answers are far from my question, I turned around and went back to the car so I won't answer her back.
She's so mean. So rude. She thought that I'm just a maintenance, another person who's illiterate, asking in front of her.
You see, I have a good wealth in life. in fact, I am Richy rich. I am enrolled in a private school, was able to ride an airplane, went to other countries, ate in an expensive restaurants and so more.
It doesn't mean when you're rich and you're the owner of that business , you won't do the work of carrying chairs, count table clothes, etc.
Going back to the story, I just forget about the table cloth and didn't ask for any charge to prove that I can have another one.
Good thing, the man that I love is always there for me in times of trouble.

I Bought a Piece of Pizza
Today was Sunday. Sunday is a day to rest, go to church and think.
I usually end up thinking about all the things I do wrong. Feel guilty. Repent of my dastardly ways. You know the drill.
But sometimes you can think about the things you do right. And that's okay, too.
See - I bought a homeless man a piece of pizza.
I was walking around, window shopping and the like, and there he was, asking for money for food.
Now - this is one of those "life things" I have a real hard time with. People who ask for money. I don't know if it's politically correct to label these people "homeless" or "beggars" or something like that. I just don't feel entirely comfortable with it. Not all of them are homeless, or need to beg.
And that's just the problem.
It's problematic because many of them ARE homeless and DO need to beg. But what are they really using the money for? Many of these people use it for booze and drugs. But some don't. Many actually need food. And some of them have dogs, and they need food for their dogs, too!
I just never, never know.
And usually, when I walk by someone with a cardboard sign that reads something about needing help and "God Bless" I just put my eyes to the ground and justify my way by them with something like "Sorry I don't carry cash" (which is actually often the case) or with no words at all.
But this time, the man was actually asking for money for food.
I figured, if he's going to buy food with the money (or so he says) why not just buy him food?
So I went to the closest food place - a pizza joint - and bought a large slice of deliciously cheesy pizza.
I did this at the end of my day of shopping (I saw him just an hour and a half earlier) because while I was shopping I couldn't get his face out of my mind. He had a bright face. Bright eyes. I think I saw his spirit, a little, and it was good.
But for the life of me, all day, there seemed to be nary but a Starbucks in sight.
Until I found the pizza place.
So I walked back to this bright-spirited man and said "Sir, did you need some food?" And he looked right at me and said "Yes!" and then I handed him the warm, yummy pizza and said, "Here you are. Have a wonderful day!" And I walked away, with just one more glance to see him lift the box and reach in.
Now - previous events of this day left me in a less-than-Christ-like state. Unfortunately. And I had to go meet my ride, so I was in a bit of a hurry. Had I had more time, I think I would have liked to sit and talk with this man while we ate. Maybe I would have bought an entire pizza to share with him. Who knows.
But I felt good afterward, and I think the pizza must have made him feel good, too. I can only assume, of course, but I do know that pizza always makes me feel good.

I'm Stressed
My decisions always make me regret. I wonder how many times I need to regret before I get things right. Will that time ever come. I know I am not perfect, but sometimes I wish I am closer than far from being perfect. I can't say I'm happy with where I am at this point... I feel trapped. Can barely breathe, but can't let go... because that means giving up, and I'm a person of high perseverance... so. Gambatte!

no, really, I'm cool...
I don't watch Glee. Not for any specific reason, I just never started watching it last year and it's not part of my TV schedule. If someone had every episode for me and blocked off some time to watch it, sure, I'd sit and watch it. I bet I would like it too. However, that's not the way the cookie crumbled. As it stands, I am not a Glee viewer.
Normally this doesn't bother me. When everyone is talking about it, I have nothing to contribute. But I also don't watch Dancing with the Stars, American Idol, Big Brother, and I still don't understand who the Kardashians are - so I'm used to talk about popular shows going over my head.
However, I'm starting to think I will be the last person on Earth who doesn't watch Glee. I think it might be time to do something about this.

Being a Human
It's not so hard, especially after you realize the following:
1. Don't deny yourself the chance to do the things you love, because you "have to do" other things. I mean - go ahead - make music videos and take care of homeless animals!
2. Don't ignore the people you love and care for the most, even if it's COMPLETELY unintentional. It doesn't take much to send a message or text, or make a call.
3. It's okay to be you, and you don't have to try to be anything else. I like chips and the color pink, and sleeping in instead of working out and that's a-okay. I can go for a jog on early weekends or when Janus is around.
4. You can be or do anything you want, and you don't have to apologize for it. It's okay to be proud of what you can do, think and create!
5. Life will always move too fast. It's useless to complain about that fact.

Halloween is getting to her
I was at the mall waiting for my dad to come back when he went at the ATM area. A girl, named Caroline (Cuz I heard her mama called her), with her mother, stopped near where I was standing and asked, out of the blue, "Mama, is it true that people turn into skeletons after they're dead?"
Her mother confirmed that it takes a long time, but yes eventually all that is left of any formerly living creature is bones.
"So when you get really, really old and then you die, you turn into a skeleton."
The mother tried to figure out how to best address this without going into more detail about cremation or embalming, when Caroline interrupted.
"And then you get spooOOOOOOooooOOOoky!"
Haha. I smiled at them after hearing their conversation

Fall Magic
I was inspired by someone I follow on blog, Lizzy
See, this fall has been THE MOST magical. There is something about the crisp air and chilly feelings and I'm loving it.
Tradition says one should take a ride around to see the fall colors. Lizzy says I should take pictures and call it a "wander" or something similarly dreamy like that (but Philippines has no fall).
So I viewed these photos from her around Aspen Grove up Provo Canyon!
SO PRETTY.
Doesn't it look like glowing, yellow lace?
Or little gold coins hanging on branches?
Or something out of a fairy tale?
:)
Glowing canyon :)
I suppose Utah is pretty gorgeous, after all. I've become quite attached to the beautiful nature around here and it hits me in my heart every time I see it. (In a good way.)
