bugger
Tuesday, March 02, 2010my youngest brother is watching Harry Potter -- very loudly. i can't even hear my own thoughts!
so i have to think LOUD. literally. (*grr*)
we had an American visitor for our Sunday service, and there was one thing he said that had me wishing it were true. he said, if only the trees and the rocks can speak, they would tell us lots of stories...
because i always miss bro. Grant, and i always find myself wishing he was here, just so i could talk to him. back in Bahrain, i always stash a box of jelly beans in my bag. bro. Grant used to give me lots of them when i was a child. so it's like keeping his memory in my bag every time.
up until now, i find myself being struck by the fact that i am in the Philippines. i am so grateful to be here. i don't really love the traffic, the dust, the buses, the unethical drivers, the heat, commuting, the noise, and unemployment, but i definitely love waking to see the Philippine sky, the clouds, the church, our compound, my grands, my family, my bed (most especially!), my church family, my best friend, and Jollibee. plus the gravy. the latter is incomparable as the former is inevitable, so i just have to deal with all of it.
last sunday night, i got to watch It's Complicated. and i loved Meryl Streep all over again. she's just so good, and so natural. she's really a legend, according to some articles i've read. it's just sad, how the movie went. coming from a broken family myself, i hoped they gave it another chance. i watched it thrice already, but i don't finish it most of the time because it's sad. and i don't really like Steve Martin for her, coz i see him as comical as he portrays that on most of his movies i've seen.
"a baby? reall-ly jake?" i liked that line.
