The book

Now I'm sitting here with the book laying in my lap and the music gently playing in the background,
And I wonder if, at this very minute,
I wonder if this is what's running through your mind right now
I bought the book you showed to me the last time we met.
And there's the music you were listening to and I downloaded it, too.
I got broke after I bought the book.
Now I'm sitting here with the book laying in my lap and the music softly playing in the background,
And I wonder if, at this very moment,
we're on the same page
and on the same line
reading the same word
listening to the same track and the same verse
I feel closer to you now.
Like I'm with you.

Old Testament ways to get a wife

Psst, guys! Didn't our religion teacher, priests and pastors told us that the bible is the source of knowledge and contains answers to our questions? Well, I bumped into a blog called Neatorama (http://www.neatorama.com) and got this post which originally belongs to Ian McKenzie of Ian’s Messy Desk blog and tells us 14 Old Testament Ways to Get a Wife. Here are the first five:

1. Find an attractive prisoner of war, bring her home, shave her head, trim her nails, and give her new clothes. Then she’s yours. - (Deuteronomy 21:11-13)

2. Find a prostitute and marry her. - (Hosea 1:1-3)

3. Find a man with seven daughters, and impress him by watering his flock.- Moses (Exodus 2:16-21)

4. Purchase a piece of property, and get a woman as part of the deal. - Boaz (Ruth 4:5-10)

5. Go to a party and hide. When the women come out to dance, grab one and carry her off to be your wife. - Benjaminites (Judges 21:19-25)

I personally find no.5 funny but I'd go for no.2 for practicality. wahah =p

hungry

I enjoy eating as much as the next person, but sometimes I wish I could get my entire daily caloric intake and allowance of nutrients in one, simple beverage. There are days when eating is a huge drain of resources, money and time wise.

My other option is to starve. But I do that anyways, and it isn't nearly as satisfying even though my mom keeps on reminding me to eat plenty. I miss mom. I miss her cooking. The last time I had a taste of her food was last September 2007, and prior to that, way back to my last trip at Dubai during my high school days. I do cook. I love to cook. No, I mean I like cooking. I can't necessarily say that I love to cook because if that was the case, I'd persist no matter what circumstances arise that may hinder me from cooking. Probably, I would love to cook only if I have all the materials I need and a nice kitchen.


P.S. I just found out that I was starting to get some comments from people that I wasn't related to! The Blogger guys have very kindly included me as one of their Blogs of Note. Unbelievable, I know Hahaha.. Nows there's pressure to actually say something interesting, rather than ramble on aimlessly about nothing like I usually do.

Family

Leo & Scorpio

When a Leo child is born to a Scorpio parent, they often create a vigorous and powerful energy. These relatives understand each other's needs well; Scorpio needs to be respected and honored, while Leo wants to be adored and complimented. They are both strongly loyal, often possessive of each other.

This family is strongly loyal and demanding of one another's time. Leo tends to be flamboyant, and the service-oriented Scorpio parent will be more than happy to give Leo the audience they require. As Leo shines, Scorpio will be content to control the fundamentals. Because both Signs are so determined, they really need to work to understand and accept each other.

Both Signs are able to provide what the other needs and respond favorably to one another's strengths. Scorpio wants to feel needed and likes and expects their child to come to them for advice. Leo wants to hear that they are on track and that they have their parent's approval on life decisions. Laughing together and enjoying time spent with the family, they will have few disagreements.

The best aspect of the Leo-Scorpio family relationship is their mutual dedication to each other and the projects they partake in. Both Signs have very powerful, yet different personalities. They are seen as a strong pair by others, and their mutual commitment to fulfilling their goals makes theirs a powerful and reliable family.

Leo & Aquarius

When Leo and Aquarius work together, the combination of Aquarian vision and Leo creativity makes the world take notice. This partnership is vibrant and vigorous, and while occasional competitions may arise between them, there is never a dull moment for this pair! They can be great friends and business associates; their Signs are congenial and have a good rapport. Both of them are idealistic and enthusiastic about life. Both are attracted to anything new, and they love thrills; they may even occasionally turn life into a giant game of Truth or Dare.

Many Leo-Aquarius relationships thrive on mutual admiration. Leo admires the uniqueness, vision and inventive characteristics of Aquarius. In turn, Aquarius admires the Lion's energy, charisma and dignity -- Aquarians always have new ideas, but they don't always have the ambition to turn ideas into reality the way Leo does. Both Signs enjoy their independence, but conflicts can arise if Leo seems too overbearing or Aquarius seems too impersonal or distant. Both partners need to learn that they view the world in different ways. Leo can be too dramatic for Aquarius' taste, but Aquarius, in turn, may be too unpredictable for their Leo partner. As long as they express to each other the value of the alliance, things will be just fine!

Leo is ruled by the Sun and Aquarius is ruled by the Planets Saturn and Uranus. These three Planets form a sort of cycle that is indicative of the Leo-Aquarius relationship and their ability to come together to create new institutions. Uranus is the Planet of new ideas and creativity; it's from this Planet that Aquarius gets its great vision. Then the Sun gives life and an identity to their collective ideas. Finally Saturn keeps the process going to completion, following up after Uranus' inspiration has been exhausted and the Sun's energy moves on to new things.

Leo is a Fire Sign and Aquarius is an Air Sign. Air fuels Fire and keeps it going; Aquarius can keep up with the action and energy of Leo and create special effects from the control panel that make the Lion a shining star. They can reach astounding heights together. Aquarius is able to use intellect to inspire Leo's ambition and feed them new ideas to put into practice -- they are very stimulating to Leo. Together the two reciprocate a cycle of personal growth and development. Both Signs have wide-ranging interests, and Leo's desire to creatively participate makes them happy to carry out the ideas of the more reserved Aquarius.

Leo and Aquarius are both Fixed Signs. Leo gives Aquarius the assertiveness to charge ahead and take action, rather than just sitting in the laboratory concocting new ideas. Aquarius can impress Leo with their unique vision and originality. They are both loyal and devoted, and when they understand that they don't need to lead or follow, they can succeed as a team.

The best aspect of the Leo-Aquarius relationship is their ability to achieve a great deal when they work together. Fixed Fire and Fixed Air cover all the bases -- these partners can come up with an idea, plan how to implement it, get it going and stick with it to make it succeed. This complete cycle makes theirs a relationship of vision as well as practice.
