Homesick for a place I've never been.

Iphone 5 is quite a jinx.

For the third time, I headed back to the ulusamy Harper Road today.

The unit I ordered online after selling my first had receiver problems.

And so they repaired it.... but while doing so they screwed up my cover.

It became a little lopsided on the left. I could have lived with it, but heyy why should I!

I could have lived with it if the phone cost me 9.48. Nope. There is no decimal place.

And so I diligently made the trip again, expecting the issue to be solved once they re-align the screen.

Ah why do they keep operating on my new phone!? :(

Wheeeee. The staff wasn't able to fix it.

I told the girl (in a slightly annoyed tone), "No I have not dropped it. It was perfectly fine before I sent it in."

I think my face was gray too. Aiyah the sun. The sun very HOT la hahahaha.

She nodded and scooted off immediately.

The boss then kindly offered me a 1-1 exchange. A brand new set straight from Apple.

I checked that it wasn't refurbished so..... hip hip hurray!!

 

This is my third iphone 5. I must break the curse.

It's actually a good thing that I have been staying away from messages/calls, except the V.I.Gs (very important girls).

I don't feel as crippled without a phone anymore.

I do know however (when I'm back) I will need to improve on my texting etiquette.

I always get the sarcastic bomb: "wow you reply fast" ...after 4-5 days. Hahah.
I conclude I am indeed rather rude.

I sometimes disappear midway during virtual conversations because I see no commitment to carry on.

I chuck my phone aside as soon as the fingers get lazy to type.

Apparently, we are supposed to end off with 'ttyl' or 'brb' or 'cya soon' or 'goodnight'.

Somewhere along those lines to cut the other party off.
Are we?

Yesterday.

A lot of walking. Time alone was well-spent as always. 

Then we had dinner (salmon mostly!) at T3's Itacho Sushi. 

They have such a wide variety of grilled sushi I took damn long to decide. 

Hungry like a wolf....

See see the fatty, luscious (wrong descriptive but heck) sashimi.

Midnight reading.

Love is hard to believe, ask any lover.
Life is hard to believe, ask any scientist. 
God is hard to believe, ask any believer.

What is your problem with hard to believe?

Parting is part and parcel of life.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYBOOOOOOOODY!!

Here comes two thousand thirteen and beyond.

As usual at this time of the year social media becomes very very action.

Hahahaha it is filled with reflections and resolutions, post after post, feed upon feed.

 

I don't usually make a list.

But as I mentioned... to define a path from the present must be kept in mind this year.

I have habitually been stuck at the same place for too long.

There is no past. The past exists for us to dwell miserably on what used-to-be.

We then weep, feel sorry about something, start missing a big part of the good,

smile a little, think somemore and finally we realize the past is no longer happy to recall.

 

At least that's what happens to me.

 

There is no going back. Moving forward is however, and of course possible,

so I really need to learn how to define my path based on every present situation.

I am not aiming to change myself though. I have never been overly rational and will never be.

Why would anyone choose to ignore their innermost feelings?

I will not give up on my passion, ideals, and I will not give up on the people whom matter. Nope.

BUT it is time for me to progress towards things I seek in a more practical way.

 

Oh it begins with bedtime. :D

Instead of complaining about my horrible eyebags/dark circles,
blaming them on bad genes haha (because I am dang sure it is inherited),

I shall sleep by 12am every night from now. Fix it!!
