If you don’t know what “uke” means … then… you’re not from my world.

Just consider this then as Taba playing dead.

I’m so mean. I’m sharing this email from my brother. I’m bugging him to start a blog so he can have an outlet for his creativity. He writes as if … it’s an entry in a journal. Anyways, I’m gonna set him up a wordpress blog soon.

With my newly found freedom, I have been thinking a lot about how to spend my free time. There were a lot of things in my self that needed smoothing out. One of them were those little handles I acquired living a sedentary life in seclusion. Throughout College and my first few years of working I remembered having a body I was actually proud of. I had broad shoulders and a six-pack. Which was partially misaligned because I was a predominant right-handed person. I never got to the part of correcting my exercise routine because I started working and discovered the luxury of real food.

Hello tharr~

My birthday is near, and I don’t have a wishlist. I hadn’t really thought of it. Yu kept on reminding me that I’m getting old soon, though. ~_~

Iks and Eelai are going to Subic this week and my leaves aren’t approved yet. Even if they were, they’re not in sync so I won’t be able to go. And even if I were able to go, I don’t have anything to wear to the beach. And even if I did have something to wear, it’s so rainy I doubt it would be any fun.

Such negative thinking, I know. But that’s just the way it is. I found out that my bro doesn’t really have insurance on their car yet, so I was bugging them about getting some kind of car insurance. Eelai just changed jobs again so money’s a little tight again, what with 12 mouths snouts to feed. I told him that I’m sure there’s a no down payment car insurance somewhere that they can avail of. That way, they’ll just need to pay the monthly… but I saw the bills just for the condo ~_~ it’s so huge. But their car is so nice it would be a shame if it weren’t insured. Oh well. On with my life.

Ok. So. Yeah.

When I got home from work earlier, I read more on this mesothelioma thing because I only skimmed over the information I got yesterday. I found out that if ever I develop asbestos cancer in the future, there are these people called “Mesothelioma lawyers” and you can file lawsuits with their help. So… 10-30 years from now, if I find out that I got this mesothelioma, I could file a lawsuit against whoever said that we should use asbestos pads in chem lab classes.

I read too much Ouran High School Host Club, I think. I get crazy overblown ideas.

Now, Back to Ouran.

I mentioned in my previous post that I bought oil burners for my lavender fix. But whenever I mention “oil burner” I think of … an oil burner. Something that really burns the oil. A lamp.

Actually, I was thinking of getting an alcohol lamp instead of a bunch of candles that only burn for a couple of hours. And then I would get a ceramic dipping sauce plate and think of a way to make a stand and just let it burn that way. I just need denatured alcohol and then my lavender oils.

But then I remembered something from when I was in high school and in uni, during the chemistry lab classes. I know that I could just put the ceramic plate over the flame, but we used to use this small screen with asbestos when heating beakers. I don’t remember where I got the thought that exposure to asbestos caused cancer. But I remember clearly being terrified of the asbestos pads. “I’m being exposed to it, I’ll get cancer and die,” I thought silently. Maybe I read it somewhere, because I loved to read books like kiddy encyclopedias and educational books when I was a child.

My room smells like lavender. Different lavender scents, but definitely some kind of lavender.

I don’t know when I started to become crazy over this scent. I know that I started becoming aware of “lavender” as a flower that smelled good was when HK drama, Lavender, was dubbed and aired here. But I didn’t go and buy lavender scented things back then.

My first experience with the lavender scent was when I got into the habit of trying out new bath and beauty products when they come out. Palmolive had this Aromatherapy line. I bought the lavender shower gel and soon afterward, the shampoo and conditioner. A talcum powder version of it came out as well. I was pleased with the smell. I smelled good as well. I don’t know if the aromatherapy part of it actually works on me and relaxes me, but I love how I smelled whenever I used these products. I don’t use them all the time, but when I see them, I buy them.

TABA!, originally uploaded by mishimiao.

Isn’t he darned cute? Now if only I could get (afford/make) some tuxedo shirts for Taba, then he’d be a good-looking mongrel. I really love dressing him up. I bet he hates it. So what if some people say it’s cruelty to animals? I feed him everyday (although he doesn’t like to eat everyday, and he only eats chicken), and I give him a bath whenever I can (that’s once every month or so), and I make sure he’s safe (I rescue him when he’s being attacked/raped by other dogs).

I’ll post more pics of him soon!

No, not me. But I was looking for my cellphone earlier and I couldn’t remember where I put it so while looking for it, I remembered one of the calls I received a couple of days ago.

Customer (Cu): Hi, I have a big problem. I turned off my phone because my kid wanted to play with it. Now I can’t find it.
Me: Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. Don’t worry, I’ll be more than glad to help you, or to get you to the right department. How can I help you today?
Cu: Can you turn on my phone? Is there a way they could make it sound off so I can find it?
Me: I’m not sure if they have a way…

(Then I remembered that I just got scolded recently for not immediately transferring to the right department for issues I don’t support. I wanted to say that I don’t think our wireless customer support can do anything about it, but I should just throw the customer to the wireless department.)

Cu: Could you get me to the tech support, then?
Me: I’m not from our wireless department, that’s why I couldn’t answer you. They might have a way (even if I know well that there’s none). Let me get you over to them.
Cu: Great! I don’t know what to do. I’ve been looking for it and I just can’t find it. I’m at my wits now…
Me: I can understand. Let me now place you on hold while I get you to the best department to assist you.

~~ while on hold, I was telling everyone about that call. We couldn’t stop laughing. And I didn’t tell the wireless customer support about the customer’s issue to let her deal with it.

It was just so funny… and stupid. I know I shouldn’t be laughing… but I couldn’t help it.
