Thanks for Chikka..

The sunset pictured above was from Baguio. It was the first time I appreciated this scenery despite the many times I have been up there. Maybe I am to busy shopping or the place was too foggy to notice it. I took this one from the Baguio Cathedral deck.

I used to remember, whenever my Globe postpaid line was disconnected, i panicked a lot, that was before, when I had friends and a lovelife, but now, both of them are non-existent, so when Globe disconnected by line, I took it in stride, no need to rush to the nearest business center to have it connected, what the heck, I am not expecting anything important, no calls that I have to place, to messages that I have to send. Thank God for Chikka, at least I get to reply once in a while to some messages, like clients from eBay, or from some people that have decided to text me.

Despite the absence of a working phone line and a permanent residential or office address, I had business cards that were printed just in time for an all important PR briefing/bidding for a Swiss multinational, and it dawned on me that after attending biddings for this client, I just realized that in this business, talent is irrelevant, it is all about timing, not mine nor anyone's else, but God's. If this project is really meant for me, then by all means, I will get this. As I was reading Deepak Chopra's book, he mentioned about the "Law Of Least Effort", which is really the way I should look at things. He specifically made an example wherein one is trying hard to recall something, and no matter how hard we try to remember it ( as they say, "it was on the tip of my tongue..."), when you totally let go of that matter, after a few second without really trying to remember it, then, you will just remember it. That's a perfect example of that law. So I will try to always live by that maxim, i won't put any effort on anything, period. I will put a lot of efforts though in praying and hearing masses, imagine, I even pray that the Lord make me invisible, at least from the building owners, so that they won't notice that i haven't replied to their demand letters or eviction notices, Har!Har! Har! Sometimes, I do pray for the wrong things, so I get them faster, be really careful with what you wish for, for you just might get it, as the adage goes.

While I am still on the topic of remembering, please do check out the latest copy of Time Magazine about the Heroes Of The Environment, a pinoy made it on the list, hooray!!! And check out the last page write up about social networking. The writer succintly defined what I am trying to say. This social networking is really a crap, I don't even see who invented it, I have a Friendster, Facebook, Blogspot, Multiply, Flixster, YouTube, X-Tube, and what-have-you accounts, and yet, not a single friend from these sites do call or text me, hahaha! with the exception of a few friends.

Thank God for Chikka, again, Dennis Mendiola, you are God-sent! Now I have to get my Globe reconnected, and that will be another story, for now, will wait for some stuff to be sold on eBay. My life has become a big sob story, and when the end comes, I will give the author of The Secret a run for their money, because it will be great!!!
