So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, goodbye

You're homeward-bound not because you left tonight, but because you are one more step closer to getting what you want.. what we want.

To the last stretch. Counting the days (yes, days, not years)!

Materialistic Me

Over lunch, I went gaga over Aldo's clearance sale online. Snagged 2 delicious pumps and 2 hobo bags. Woot!

Now, I can't concentrate at work because I'm too excited! My boyfriend is coming to Manila this August 8 for my birthday, and he's bringing all the stuff with him (since I had it shipped to his hotel to avoid evil courier charges).

I wonder, why can't brands like Aldo, Nine West, etc. carry the same styles at prices that reasonable? Why can't the Philippines be more fashion forward (pun intended) like HK, Singapore, or Malaysia even? Why do we have to settle for knock-offs or overruns when clearly, Filipinos are sale suckers too?

Anyhoo, at least I've got a personal assistant (just kidding!) to take care of S&H for my impulsive superficial needs. Maybe long distance relationships aren't so bad after all.

Open for occupancy

In a perfect world--well, in my perfect world:

-Cigarettes wouldn't cause health complications
-Lacuna (from Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind) existed
-Tap water would adjust to your body's temperature
-It would be safe from drunk and horny men who rape little girls and boys
-The perfect background music would play in every "real moment"
-Ice cream, chocolate and all that's gummy would contain 0 calories
-Teleportation would be readily available
-You wouldn't need a green thumb to grow pretty flowers
-No one would get into accidents
-And there would be no stupid motorcycle drivers
-Everyone would have a view of the sunset
-The government would fund everything fairly
-Or how about having no government at all (questionable factor..)
-Money could grow on trees
-People had the ability to stop time, go back, and make up for their mistakes
-There would be honest businessmen and lawyers
-Everyone knew how to dance
-Farts didn't have to smell that bad
-Elevators could "block" people from making it stop on their way up/down
-There would be no nappy curls, zits and scars
-Mary Poppins lived
-All forms of sexual expression and orientation were respected
-Lady Luck would be on everyone's side
-Religion and the origin of the universe could be explained literally in a book
-Young girls would be advised to take birth control
-You could buy X-Ray glasses or invisible paint or lotion
-Everything would contain a microchip with some ultra-magnetic force capability so that nothing would get lost
-Parents would be much cooler
-And the kids wouldn't grow up (Just like Holden Caulfield thought)

Which brings me to my final point--a quote actually, I picked up somewhere I can't quite remember:

"The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way. Then you live in an old age home. You get kicked out when you're too young, you get a gold watch, you go to work. You work forty years until you're young enough to enjoy retirement. You drink alcohol, you party, and you get ready for high school. You go to grade school, you become a kid, you play, you have no responsibilities, you become a little baby, you go back into the womb, you spend your last 9 months floating... then you finish of as an orgasm!!!"

What's your perfect world like?
