smorgasbord

this is part of my first tappings with the digitel dsl connection. methinks it's going to be quite reliable though as early as now, the familiar lags i had with the dial-up connection are also here. who knows? let's give it a chance.

today is also the second day of the art of living seminar series that i'm committing to this week. day two, in summary, is double the breathing exercises of yesterday and based on the reminders given by ruth, our teacher, the breathing will be to no end tomorrow. that means more tingling sensations, more unexpected tears (truly coming out of nowhere, not even emotions, memories, nothing, which makes it all the more astonishing) and more lightness (and in the case of some of the particpants, more snoring).

ava's morning text about the emergency her nanay faced was quickly closed with good news that she's out of danger. a sigh of relief there.

i am still mulling over that dream i had last night in which two people i know die. i don't buy the crude interpretation that they will actually die soon. still, what kind of death is involved? what part of them will die, fade away, change, be revised? so many questions, so many options.

a long-overdue dinner with janice and argie last night. thank goodness i wasn't able to catch janice at her worst temper. (i still can't imagine her at her worst, she's always the spritely janice i've known for close to ten years.)

aggie, if you're reading this: bravo to you for finally getting to tatay's skull, haha. i'm looking forward to june when they're both out of my hair for a month. (hee.) congratulations on the successful exam results. sigh.

finally: wala lang, ang galing-galing ngayong araw na 'to. blows my mind.
