just some quick updates from a recent long weekend

~ had to reschedule a very important meeting for an equally important birthday celebration...the beginning of my 34th year on earth. it was still a terrible trip i made but worth every wait, bumpy ride and dust. twice, ceres has disappointed me. coming 30 minutes later after the ferry hit the wharf, i missed the 10:45 trip to bacolod from canlaon and had to wait another hour for the next departure. home finally, lunch consisted of leftover chicken from big lil bro's graduation party the previous day. i was ready to hit the sack after a quick bath but mom beat me to it, i doggedly went to man the shop. dinner at sis' place was instant pansit canton.
~ bjork was molting excessively so i made some research about the probable causes (and cure). three things may cause fur loss: stress, mange and flea. it's neither flea nor mange so it has to be stress which is characterized by his excessive grooming. well, he's been through a lot of changes lately: relocation, diet, company. wow, if i were bjork and displays the same symptom for stress, i should be bald by now for all the headache these oem issues that's been hounding me mercilessly these days.
~ fell right back into my morning routine, i.e., struggled to wake up at 7, went marketing and cooked breakfast while having my first cup of coffee (diluted with evaporated milk). whenever i felt like it, i would walk from caridad to agora taking the short cut to the neighboring uriarte subdivision, taking a quick peek at the tennis court and caused my heart to skip a beat each time.
~ afternoons were spent on ym chatting with annie or taking jen-jen's pc-to-pc calls
~ revisited old time favorites on tv. this time, 'twas bh 90210 that caught my fancy. i wonder what keeps jason priestly busy now.
~ inspired by the challenge from lear maniniyot's flickr group (that i joined recently) activity to photograph the sun, i woke up one morning at dawn and patiently waited for the sun to creep from behind kanlaon. i took a shot every minute until i thought i had enough material to choose from. and what has become of it? never mind.
