being so used to having doctors around back home,
i find it rather unusual to be surfing for healthcare on the net.
thankful the doctor i visited today is nice.
looks like he found another regular patient.
will see him again tuesday at 12:15.
window shopping
i have this penchant for shoes.
maybe because i am a girl.
maybe just because.
then there are shoes that cost more than an asus eee pc.
armani, jimmy choo, yves saint laurent, to name a few.
thankful there are posh deparment stores ---
where i can always try and see if the shoe fits.

trail bars
train rides on a rainy day that go through tunnels
make me look inside while trying to look outside the window:
a girl was chewing on a banana bread breakfast while sipping on her cup of coffee.
(cuppas need to be attended to immediately as they turn cold really fast.)
then there's a couple where the guy was profusely saying sorry for something he did.
(the girl kept assuring him all's well, but he just wouldn't stop saying sorry
and if he'd say sorry again, i...turned to the window.)
however, windows double as mirrors under these circumstances.
and it is rude to openly stare and gape at people.
so i turn my thoughts to the color choice of the clothes that i wear.
it is usually dictated by what's next in the laundry line:
whites alternate with colors.
so the past week, despite the city being grey
and most were clad in black trousers, black suits, black boots,
black pumps, black bags and black hats, i was wearing white.
last night was laundry night.
today's a sunny day and i am wearing a grey shirt
under a denim mini dress with black flats.
thankful i can put a pair of sunnies to good use.

comic relief
called mama's phone and papa answered.
we talked for several minutes
asking how each other was doing
and reflecting how fleeting life can be.
out of habit, i asked him if he already had dinner
he answered not yet and that i should eat soon too.
i told him it's past 10 and had mine hours earlier.
"kinsa diay ni?"
"si joy, pa"
"haha, abi nako si ivy."
papa and mama often mix us up.
i called ivy after and confirmed that
when she called papa minutes earlier
he thought she was me.
thankful i was able to tell papa i love him
before hanging up.

done deals
bondi junction station is the end of the line
so the train departs on either of the platforms available.
mornings would be rushing down the escalator
and deciding where to sit in the train:
platform 2 is wrist watch to the door
platform 1 is wrist watch away from the door.
thankful for things that let me distinguish my right from left.

contact lenses
being able to see is fascinating.
being able to see letters that form words that become sentences are better still.
being able to comprehend and muse some are indeed a treat.
thankful for short stories.
they are a good company in train rides where people don't have mouths,
ears plugged and eyes averted, in sleepiness or in dread.

coles so close
lee kum kee
fine shrimp sauce
with kare kare
a walk to the mall
cool twilight breeze
clinking of keys is bliss

place clothes and 2 1-dollar coins
then close the lid to the start the washing machine
once filled with water, add the liquid detergent
26 minutes after
transfer the clothes to the tumble dryer
then for an hour listen to the whirling sound
and enjoy the clean crisp smell that fills the air
take out the very warm clothes
fold them or hang them to dry some more
but not before taking in the scent of green apple from each one
indeed doing the laundry has its perks
