What Happens in the Weekend

It only happens during the weekend. Again, in bullets:

- Subway Sandwich picnic on a Saturday Morning
- Having the car washed
- Full Body Massage treatment at the Island Spa during the afternoon
- Watching a play, an adaptation of “The Pretenders” by F. Sionil Jose during the evening
- Poker and Wine after the play
- The next day, “The History Boys” at Greenbelt 3
- A quiet TV night at D.’s
- Grocery at Powerplant and a walk around Rockwell

Living a Philosophy of False Optimism

It was almost miraculously easy to get through this day. I’m flanked with problems at work, but last night I was able to adopt a pragmatic approach to all of it. Don’t let anyone go monkey. Find a quick fix for now, but keep a workable long term solution so that everyone remains complacent. Never fail to point out the progresses and gains, but keep watch on the areas where we’re losing.

Never fail to muster enough composure to just ignore how difficult it all is.

Go home as early possible. Have your serving of That 70’s show episodes, choose from the wide selection of herbal infusion teas, write a little, imagine yourself kissing D., listen to the latest additions to your iPod, and lord, lord, lord over your life.

In Sickness and Health

It may have taken just one unhesitating kiss for me to have passed D. the measles. She had it already, and we may have lacked another moment’s rumination that she may have it again. She took it uncomplainingly, as her selflessness reveals how real this love is.

In sickness and in health, I love you my D.
