I am still having my post concert blues. I have never been a George Benson Fanatic but his song “Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love for You”, brought lots of youthful memories to me. I’d like to thank my friend Rowena for convincing me to watch the concert with her with Wella and her boyfriend at Kings Park, An Evening On the Green, last 24 March.

That night was a blasts! Teaming up with AL Jarreau, the legends have brought smiles to their loyal fans and the whole audience just love it soooo much! We sang with them, danced and laughed and over all, wonderful evening… And yes! Chris Walker, (Al Jarreau’s Band) you’re so handsomely gorgeous!!!

Givin’ it Up concert is a dream come true, I am so glad to be part of your audience. Such is the “Greatest Love of All”.

I already have your latest album downloaded in my itunes.

All the best for your succeeding concerts in Australia.

My time is precious, yet it seems that I find myself at this stage, unable to finish a chore or get things done. Do you have those moments too?

Well, I am not in a position to discuss these matters elaborately but I speak from my own experience. It seems to me that my productivity (I chose to call it that way) is highly affected by each cycle…Now, ladies, you will now have a clue on what I am trying to say.

I sat here in front of my computer, for 1.5 hours now because, I cannot bear sitting somewhere else in the house with too many things to do. The jobs around seemed to be in the high priority list of doing and I can’t handle it so I escape. Thinking that writing will be my escape, yet, been here for 2 hours in the keyboard, and couldn’t start a thing. Up until now.

So I stood up, grab a book to have a browse and there! a title says ” If your Efforts Are Blocked (Chapter 16, Women & Anxiety by Helen DeRosis, M.D.) “. So here I am. Let me quote the first few lines written in this beautiful book.

” Real Efforts cannot be blocked unless your motivation is. And if you read “blocked” as conflicted, you can understand what it really means. You are blocked when you are not clear about your priority at any given moment. Remember–simply stated, a conflict is a condition of wanting and not wanting simultaneously. Keeping that point in mind can allow you to select what comes first, right now. When you can chose only one
course to pursue in any one time unit, then you can begin to make practical plans followed by reasonable actions.”

So there you go, ladies, whenever a moment like this comes in for some reason…(I call it, Those Days..) just focus on one thing, and hope for the best, that it all fall into place at some stage, and by then, you find yourself working on something e.g. chores, studies, writing. Speaking of which, I must go. Have to wash breakfast dishes, clean the car, organise tonight’s dinner and do my assignments and pick up my contact lens from the optomitrist.

I blocked no more, just have to start one course first, oh maybe have to snack before dishess….Grrrrrr!

When I think of a home, I think of a place where there’s love overflowing!!!! Am sitting now here listening to my itunes on my computer, and its so tempting to find Kuh Ledesma’s song “home”.

Allow me to indulge in this topic for the moment, as my only way of joining in the excitement of the youngest beauty Eetsie who is currently in Davao, browsing the city streets for more inspiration I suppose and the older beauty Peebles is packing up their bags along with the boys for a month long holiday in the Land of Promise!!!

So where should I take myself now, well, the current music in my Itunes is now playing “One day I fly Away” by Randy Crawford. I’m hopefull then.

I was telling my bro Spacemanto get ready as the parental home will soon be back to life again, with the voices of Koy koy and Oshie and their mum and their Deetsie and something will sure be cooking in the stove for a while, langhap sarap!!!!

So to my two Sistuhs!! Well done for pulling this holiday of yours, who knows, one day, I’ll
be right there at the doorstep, asking…..”Naa pay paksiw nga bulinaw?”

And by the way Sters!, if you find Mr Chips!, give him my hug!!!

After a shower this morning, I dashed to my computer to browse some mails, and as soon as I open my browser, I spot the pictures of famous couple you guess who? Well, the clue is, they are the parents of Shiloh and Maddox and Zahara, three children born in three different countries. And the news is, this couple are now waiting for an approval of their adoption papers from a Vietnamese country, so maybe, in months time, another lucky babe will be welcomed into their household. I live it up to all of you out there, what you reckon about humanitarian act of these couple.

I admire individuals who have genuine heart to help people. There are many of them. Aside from being endowed with a generous spirit, their resources (money,time, effort) afforded them to give to less fortunate but deserving individuals. Some would actively go out there and choose to be known and some have chosen to be unknown. George Lindemann Jr. is one of those individuals, who have taken such steps to bring smiles and make a difference to the less fortunate but more deserving people through his humanitarian projects.

We, regardless of our economic backgrounds could indeed joined the band of making this world a richer place. It just have to start in our own backyard.

Oh, I’m keen on numbers at the moment, thats how my numeracy lessons have affected this side of brain.

Nuh, I haven’t been to the news agent to get my lotto number and the title above isn’t my telephone number either. Put me in TRANCE. Now, I remember, that used to be my vital statistics, you know, the kind of…..head, shoulders, knees and toes… I mean, my upper, middle and lower measurements? Funny. Not that am proud of this, but it seems there’s a bit less and there’s a bit more squeezibly. e.g (-4,+10+4) dare not challenge you anymore. I used to have a single chin too and a deep set eyes!

Thankfully, I still have all my vital parts, it’s just that, well.. kind of. It chose to take its own form in the recent years. Otherwise, I will be forced to take my frequent flier points and fly off to America, to see the curvy side of my thing and have it done at New York Cosmetic surgery! Who says only Oscars wannabes can do it?

Yes, might still have enough points to fly my sagging self there , BUT WHERE’S MY POCKET MONEY? (time to wake up to reality SJ!)

No, its not a newly formed rock band, it’s just the current temperature at the moment here in Perth and its going to stay till tomorrow. So needless to say, I set aside the things to be done outdoors and opted to loss kilojoules by sitting in front of the computer and allowing my fingers to hop on the keyboard! Lucky, thanks to my evaporative airconditioner. Well, just in case if you mind, nevertheless, baboosh.
