mainit, mainit na mainit, napakainit and pinakamainit

dives and tagalog lessons. what more do you want in a weekend? mainit was spectacular as usual. it's great seeing it with another guide. never saw those barracuda before. slightly scared me! and there were supposed to be sharks in the area! will go find them next time.

tagalog lessons on the other hand, not going as well! mr. "actually, i'm an adventurer" will need a real tagalog tutor.

best find of the dive: Neopetrolisthes ohshimai

a sure pc killer. have mercy. i am DONE! (takes a bow)
i have NEVER in my life had a program take more than 18 hours to finishing running.

blogging from an IBM

my first IBM was the pc we bought for work. i was amazed at how we could run virtually anything on it. multiple programs open (adobe photoshop!) and it would not crash! the most solid system i've ever seen. coupled with a win2000 os. i loved it.
like this one too. knong's laptop. not that i don't like mine. my old faithful trusty uncrashable laptop of 5 years. it does help that this laptop has all it's keys functioning, unlike mine! (should get that looked at soon.
slow day. will watch a movie later.

FOURnineFORTYNINE

was the trick my mom used to help me remember her birthday. anyone who knows me well, knows that i absolutely cannot remember birthdays. and hopefully, they forgive me.

it was my mom's birthday weekend. was a great time. she seemed really happy, and that's the most important thing.

also, my whole entire family met pj. it went surprisingly well. and am thankful for that.

great stay-at-home-with-the-family weekend. next weekend, diving? :)

the ties that bind

we are one less great man today. and all of humanity mourns this loss. reminding me of other things bound to me that i have lost. with hope, i believe in my heart that i haven't lost them yet. but it appears that way at the moment. i've lost my ties to moo. and to bbb. email apparently, does not work both ways. who ever thought it did is a fool. all things have their season, maybe theirs have passed. when people say "this too shall pass" referring to the horrible, sad, grief-ridden moments in our lives, what we don't realize is this also applies to all the joyous, blissful, sheer 20 moments. i suppose they do. and so it goes. on to the next.
