SR2

this is not a good time to write... my energy's drained, had a row with wifey, CSI vegas is currently showing and worst of all, nothing inspires me at the moment.

anyway, i had a good learning time with our company's recollection yesterday. i'm no catholic or anything and neither an atheist, but i have to say i've pick-up few pieces of "new" tools in dealing with life. though i'm not totally agreeable with everything the recollection master said, it was generally something i've been meaning to hear and a necessity... sort of a refresher course about the basics.

i guess, since everything these days are handed to us in silver platter, we've forgotten the very basic things we've learned before... about respect, discipline, service, commitment, etc. and everything about the world seemed "practical." when in fact, things aren't really what they seem... it's all about having too much liberty, sex, lust, filth... well, in short, SIN.

yesterday's activity got me grounded again... not that i wasn't, but grounded in a different way and seeing things in a new perspective.

earlier, i was at my forum mate's place. it was his birthday. this guys is a german expat... we're supposed to go "park-ing" today but i can't say NO to this guy.... a very nice, cool, genius and down-to-earth person.

neil was crying cos he had everything prepared for what was supposed to be our scheduled sunday swimming session at the family park... the googles, kicking boards, etc. and i have to cancel it. sorry kiddo.. promise next time we'll hit the pool like crazy...

i love the route i'm taking now... more healthy and family oriented... i'm looking forward to next sunday already for our newfound weekly activity.

going back to earlier's party, we had a good chat over bottomless coffee! geeez, i must have drank 10 cups of some brazilian tasters coffee. oh, the food was way, way plenty for a few peps, but whose complaining?

played billiards and were served with whatever those drinks only Guenter knows what. though i barely see my "drunken master" friends these days, but hey, i've got new ones whose trips i can easily ride along.... next saturday, they're inviting me to some trek to mt. manunggal. it's an overnight activity. have to really give it a good thought cos i've never been to such activity, much more, place.

one friend of mine can attest how i've been wishing to do such activity during those nights we're too wasted to make sense... and here it is!

i've just read over at my friendster's account bulletin that our defunct bar, Beach Roots is re-opening again, soon. well, good luck guys!

we're supposed to start a new one again but due to financial constraints, past experience (or should i say "bad"), and the location, i was a little hesitant to jump into the "bar ownership" scene again. the thought of having one is cool but running it with friends whose personality changes when they become your business associate/s, i say let's better stay friends. it's not like i'm saying this without basis... i've seen it all and it ain't funny.

but i wish them all the best. i hope this time, they'd run it better and avoid any conflicts in the future... i'll be there guys... soon.

oh yeah, this forum thingy brought me another gift courtesy of my mate all the way from Atlanta, Georgia, SR2. he gave each one of us a 2GB flash disk. now, i can't stop this new found hobby/interaction of mine... it gets even better as days go by...

anyway, that's it for tonight... keep livin'.... boys and girls...



note: edit this tomorrow when my brain's fresher...
