micah 6:8
He has showed you, O man, what is good.
And what does the LORD require of you?
To act justly and to love mercy
and to walk humbly with your God.

optimist pessimist
the other day, i learned that it is nice to engage myself in a conversation with children.
samuel, a 6-year-old boy, had been constantly kidded about grown-up talks:
"sammie, is this container half-full or half-empty?"
"uhrm, half-empty?"
"sammie is a pessimist! ate joy, is this container half-full or half-empty?"
"half-full!"
"girls rule!!!! we are optimists ate!"
we spent the morning trying to clean up the garden. weeding a bit here and there. come lunch time, we settled in our designated places around the table. after saying grace, sammie blurted out,
"my bowl of soup is half-empty!"
"we can see that..."
"no, when you are taking from the bowl, it becomes half-empty. but if i am pouring juice into my glass, then it is half-full."
urhk. i wonder why i never thought of it that way.

fried ice cream
who announces shifts to daylight savings time? we found out today that dst started yesterday when ate wimmy, who we were supposed to meet at 11am for a day out, called us up at 10am[according to our watches] asking us where we were. good thing today's labour day and we weren't late for a job interview or something like that. thankful!
background music: abba
sneezes and runny nose and headaches. just when i thought not getting colds back in the philippines was enough guarantee i wouldn't get it here. thankful i am getting better.
spent a warm time with jlao, bath, cindy and marv last night. we had a spicy dinner at tandoori palace. [their after dinner mint was a delightful surprise.] walked around the city in a cold night after dinner to make space for a passionflower dessert. i had black pearl: black sesame and azuki ice cream topped with black sesame coated glutinous rice balls. warm, hot, cold, cold, cool!

child's play
today was yamble reserve with sara and sammie.
in the playground, i went down the slide 3 times!
[i remember not being fond of slides ever, so the first one down was to appease the children's prompting, the second one to conquer the un-fondness, the third for sheer bliss.]
i got static, after all the slide was made of plastic.
then there's the scooter. tried it too and didn't fall.
this one's for yesterday:
"The truth is I'm getting old, I said. We already are old, she said with a sigh. What happens is that you don't feel it on the inside, but from the outside everybody can see it." - Gabriel Garcia Marquez

uhm
i guess i will never learn how to go about interviews.
i have never been confident about technical terms. and interviewers ask exactly those.
thankful for interviews though, glimpse of a job.
thankful too, mcdonald's soft serve cones sell for 30cents, happiness is almost free.
