Oh The Places You'll Go

Dr Seuss

March is Dr Seuss' birth month. I want to share my fave quotes of his:

We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love

Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, It’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, And that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.

You'll get mixed up, of course, as you already know. You'll get mixed up with many strange bird as you go. So be sure when you step. Step with care and great tact and remember that Life's a Great balancing Act. just never forget to be dexterous and deft. And never mix up you right foot with your left.

Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.

You're off to Great Places! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting, So.. get on your way!

And I want this last one read at my funeral:

I'm glad we had the times together just to laugh and sing a song, seems like we just got a started and then before you know it, the times we had together were gone.

Splitting Headache

Last Tuesday I got home to mom unpacking her 3 huge baggages. Yupe, mom is back from her 4 months trip. There is this familiar smell since then in our house that I always associate with USA.

Since then I've also noticed that I started having dizziness, headache and really sleepy during the day. So sleepy that I could fell asleep and dreaming in the busway on the back from the office on Wednesday! Normally I cant sleep in public. Weird.

Today the headache is getting worse that I couldnt think straight. I managed to sleep it off a bit in the morning only to wake up because of the headache. Because I need to pack for my trip while I still have time, I started to put my wardrobe together, so I can mix and match later on without bringing too much of it. When I was trying out the new dress mom bought, I got splitting headache from the smell of it. For someone with a weird sense of smell it's too much. I mentioned about it to mom, she said it's the smell of detergent they are using over there. However I'm suspicious that it's the chemical they use in the airport to fumigate the baggages because every things smell like that, even the shoes and bags she bought. Plus, one of her baggages was opened for random inspection over there.

Now I need to air everything I want to pack, just in case.
Seriously, It's been years since I have this much headache.

ps: if my hunch is right, does it mean I can sue USA airport for immaterial damages? ;)

Lost in Technology

I know for a fact that tonight a friend sent me a picture via email. Three times. I got none.
I keep missing sms sent to me for unknown reason in both my cellphones. I use two cellphones because of the missing sms.

Sometimes I held both of cellphones while waiting for an important call and none of them rang. And I was told that I didnt pick up my phone.
Sometimes I see my friend online on skype, I send them message and they dont get it. Or, they answered angrily my question because I didnt their answer the first time around and I kept asking the same stupid question.

The other day my boss was angry because it looked like I didnt prepare our presentation. I did. However each time I re-open the file it looked as if I did nothing to it. He calmed down after it happened to him twice.
The other day there was a complain about our website. We corrected it two months ago, but somehow the same mistake came up again.

Technology lost me.

Choices

There are certain things in life that I want but I know it's against my parents/family wishes. It tears me apart. On one hand there is this loyalty toward family, on the other it's my life. If I choose my way, would I be happy knowing it breaks their hearts?

My inability to decide was commented that I have no plan. The truth is, I feel like my feet are stuck in certain position while inside there are so much movements moving to all directions.

Someone said to me recently that I need to do what I feel comfortable with. Perhaps I dont need to decide right away and just go with the flow. When it's time to decide, all things will come to its places. However, I'm afraid by not deciding myself, it'll be decided for me.
