ALL PTY
Unbeknownst to even his closest of closest friends, he harbors a deep dark secret...On quiet Saturday morning apartment cleaning sessions, when no one is looking, he finds great joy and solace in the lines that his 7AMP black Hoover vacuum cleaner makes as they cross the medium pile carpet. He focuses on working his way from right to left, carefully stepping behind the noisy plastic appliance to ensure his footsteps won't appear. However, as much as he tries, he fails to achieve the consistent and evenly spaced lines that he longs for... like so many other things in his life, he falls short of his lofty goals. They always say, "Aim for the stars...if you miss, you'll hit the moon". Little consolation for his inability to get it right.
So he settles for something much less than perfect... accepting the fact that he tried his best, and that's all that he could ask for. When all is said and done, it's not the end goal that matters: it's not how straight the lines are, it's not how fancy your car is, it's not how big your house stands, it's not how hot your wife/husband is, it's not how much money you make... It's how you lived your life.
And so as the Saturday morning slowly turns into Saturday afternoon, with Roselle Nava singing away on his so-called "filipino" WinAMP playlist, the washing machine churning away, he continues his chores with a smile and a glimmer of hope as he looks forward to another fun-filled weekend...
Quick question:
All PooTY? All ParTY? All Pointing Toward Yesterday?

i love Roselle Nava! did you know she f****d up her throat though so she can't sing high anymore?
ALL PTY - whatever you want it to mean.
it IS all about how you live your life.
LG
No way!! So does Roselle still sing? That's sad, I really dig her music. Oh wait, ummm no...I mean one of my friends does. And he wants to know if you have any suggestions for which albums to get. :)
I used to make neat little lines in the carpet. I hated vacuuming downstairs. Now we only vacuum half as much ;-)
BTW, there is a space missing between your referrer links and your comments.
But isn't the wood floors just as much maintenance? (sweeping, polishing, etc?)
I noticed that space too...there's a bug in blogspot's code generation, and I'm too lazy to wade through the code and try to fix it: the trial-and-error approach incurs a 45 second penalty for every blog republish. :( Whatever, that linkback stuff isn't really used anyways.
mmm hmmm....
well, tell your 'friend' if he comes to rondalla practice on Friday he is welcome to look at my collection. hehe :)
OK, will do. He was actually thinking about coming to practice so he could learn about our cool rondalla, and possibly try playing one of the instruments.
