Skylarking’s one of my cousinbears’ pastime. So I decided to humor my early morning caller by answering her call. If calling my mobile phone when I’m having coffee in the dining room while she’s in her room at the end of the hallway is one of cousin’s wifey’s pranks, am in for the ride. I go, “Ja — loo?” Ate Vangie squeaked, “Happy mothers’ day! Itimpla-annak kape ngaruden!” Oh, so sweet Ate of mine! Still on the phone with me, she came out from the room and we had mothers’ day morning coffee. ;-) I did pour hot water on her cup, she did the rest, heh, heh! Before that, I was bombarded by mothers’ day greetings from other corners of the world in my mobile phone, headed by my young man, Jus. On board the cab to work, “Happy mothers’ day, baby,” screamed the LCD screen… from the awesome man closest to my heart. 
Mid-day, at work, a single huge red rose, a dark chocolate bar with a large card, a big bear hug, and a couple of warm kisses on both cheeks were lovingly delivered by a huge-tummied-due-anytime-now, trail-walk-buddy-Mommy-friend of mine — Prez. ;-D
Before the day ended, I got the most wanted toy on the list in my arms — Nikon P90 bridge camera. Guess who the present is from… none other than me, of course! ;-D I spoiled myself crazy this day, so what?! I’ve been drooling over a new cam with a very powerful lens. I’m a Canon-crazed earthling but the Canon SX10 IS I’ve been eye-ing for quite a while is already out-of-stock by the time am ready to purchase it. Nevertheless, I found a way better model, albeit a different brand. Nikon’s second best on my list before I found this P90-baby-of-mine. There are 2 other Sony models being pushed under my nose and so highly presented by the sales staff but I got my mind set on either Canon or Nikon… am blind to other brands no matter how great and promising their features may sound, sorry.
To equate it with life, purchasing a camera is like taking a partner… You can be lusting after someone for a certain period of time but realized in the end that you don’t really want him after all. He could’ve left or could still be very much around but you no longer have that passion burning inside of you for the once-object of your desire and affection. The flame died a natural death… just as it did with my obsession to Canon SX10 IS with 20x powerful lens. It’s gone by the time I was ready to purchase it. In its place was a high-end Nikon digital bridge camera with a superzoom lens of 24x. Though it costs a little bit more than the Canon, it’s way, way better.
Fate takes something… or someone… away from us to give way to much better, more awesome, way more beautiful things… or beings… of so much substance. Then you got the new apple of your eye. Your focus is solely on him. Whoever other creatures present himself at your door, you look past ‘em because you have your eyes… and heart… set only for one wonderful being.
It’s all worth the wait… Rushing gets you nowhere…
p.s. one-buck-a-day’s got a pay-off, maia.

I’ve been in the middle of writing my blog and I got a notice that you’ve updated yours, so understandably I left everything at once and headed to your website. And…. got the case of the chills. I’m writing about something that is close to my heart and some of your words are exactly the same words that I’m using! Feels like deja vu, amiga. Obviously, you can have the run for it, yours is already done. Awe man!
Congratulations on the new joytoy! You need to pamper yourself once in a while, you deserve it. I’m seriously doubtful if I can afford to have one, even if I put a toony a day. I’m itching to run my fingers all over it one of this days, though.
p.s….so you have someone “awesome closest to your heart” now? uhurm…

i don’t think you’re talking about “inhale… exhale”. so where’s that blogpost, girl? i wanna see it! come on, don’t be a chicken, post the darn thing anyway.
don’t mind my post. we may have similar wicked thoughts at times but our crazy minds don’t run in all avenues at the same time all the time. i beg you to finish what you’ve started and let me read it. 
oh yeah, the awesome man closest to my heart? he’s deeply embedded in my heart for ages now actually.

ohhhhh, i wonder if he knows how deep he’s embedded in your heart?
give me his name and number so that i’ll tell him how a lucky dog he is. 
no, it’s not the inhale, exhale nor the big girls don’t cry. for the time being i’m playing chicken and put it in the bucket together with the unfinished ones.
blog on! sad to say you’re the only one who reads my blog. deeply honored.

you’re mistaken, my dear. there are more readers of yours than you think. i guess i need to shake you up to realize how profound your writings are.
am a fan of yours, girl!
