How free are you these days and where do you often go when you go out? :)
My Summit Media stint is going to end this Friday already! Anyway, I’m free on Saturday afternoon. I usually just go to Shang, Rockwell, Serendra, and lately, the new Eastwood mall. :)
Naku, I’ll be out Saturday afternoon but maybe we can catch up sometime between the holidays? Or...

“Only once in your life, I truly believe, you find someone who can completely turn your world around. You tell them things that you’ve never shared with another soul and they absorb everything you say and actually want to hear more. You share hopes for the future, dreams that will never come true, goals that were never achieved and the many disappointments life has thrown at you....

I need to find this book. I read it five years ago along with Marian Keyes’ Last Chance Saloon because a friend lent it to me. Today I found the Keyes book in a thrift shop but I really want to find...

Do you remember the cd’s you made me in high school? I can’t thank you enough for them…cried my eyes out again tonight but decided not to wallow in all this boohoo-ing so I read old journal entries as instructed by Pat and I listened to music I loved when we were all much younger.

What do you do when you’re sad? What should I do?
You know, when I’m at the bookstore I pay little attention to the self-help shelf. It just never occurred to me that people actually needed the stuff they had to say. I always...
