favorites...

While riding a jeep on my way to Washington, I just remembered how weird it is that I like the number 27 (actually I also like number 3, 9 and 31). I like these numbers because they are perfect. Perfect in a way that they are not exact (or is the term "even" more appropriate?). There is a sense of randomness (if there is such word), a sense of being so real -- kumbaga sa picture may pagka-stolen shot! hehe Then, I thought of my favorite phrases. For example, "never too far" from Maria Carrey's song is one of them. Another one is "such is life" which I heard from an episode in CSI Las Vegas (well, pwede na din pala s'yang sentence). I also have favorite punctuation marks. Like the apostrophe (') and the ellipsis (...). Obvious naman sa titles ng entry di ba? Weird ko pala. But then, mas weird si Maria in the movie The Sound of Music. Kasi, eto mga favorites nya. Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens Brown paper packages tied up with strings These are a few of my favorite things Cream colored ponies and crisp apple streudels Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings These are a few of my favorite things Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes Silver white winters that melt into springs These are a few of my favorite things When the dog bites When the bee stings When I'm feeling sad I simply remember my favorite things And then I don't feel so bad What's so likeable about brown paper packages tied up with strings? Sabagay, choice nya yun eh. Sabi nga sa isa sa mga favorite questions/answers ko, "why not?"

to blog or not to blog...

I've decided to create my blog account, finally. And it says, A blog is your easy-to-use web site, where you can quickly post thoughts, interact with people, and more. All for FREE. And I say, not quite. Not that easy. Because I need to decide on something for each step to create this account: what username/pword should i use? what title? should I allow others to see this or that information? what template? what color? After the three "easy" steps, I'm ready to post or should I say blog. Again, decisions.. what title? what font? size? bold, italic, etc? what language should i use? (it's a good thing i only know 2! or it could be a lot more difficult) So much for my first post. And I haven't really figured out the proper way to pronounce "blog." Is it blag or blog? blahg or blohg? All these questions make me hungry. To blog or not to blog? Whatever. Sometimes I think too much. But right now, all I can think of is dinner.
