I am still alive.
But of late, I have allowed work to get me negative and morose.
To counter the bad chi, I've decided to list stuff that make me happy, and not just limit it to five items.
^ popping M&M's, one after the other, and chewing on them the moment they're in my mouth
^ honey glazed chicken wings
^ being home in the afternoons while it rains (as opposed to being stuck in the office)
^ polka dots and grids
^ the smell of freshly printed books
^ the rough texture of wood-free paper
^ the idea of home-made bread (though I've not made any yet)
^ buttered salty popcorn-in-a-bag, freshly out of the microwave
^ crafty craft blogs
^ a mug of steaming hot coflo (coffee + milo)
^ the smell of freshly cut grass
^ an occasional meal from McDonalds
^ grapefruit juice
^ listening to a cello well-played
^ currently, most songs by Vampire Weekend
^ insect-and-rain-free picnics
^ freshly sharpened pencils
^ a full and neatly arranged bookshelf
^ intelligence and humour
^ receiving nice catch-up emails (or better, snailmail)
^ a nice hot shower
^ watching a movie in the daytime
^ lovely pristine beaches
^ sleeping undisturbed for a stretch of 12 hours once in awhile
^ the Internet
Also, this is my attempt at waging a battle against embitterment.

Hello Ms H, or rather, Mrs C, :)
Wow, popcorn machine!
But you know, there are some really tasty (i.e. SALTY) popcorn brands out there, like Orville Redenbacher's. Really good. No need to invest in popcorn machine also can have lovely saltiness! And less washing up too!
i like Ms H =p
i figured, if 8-days can afford to give a pop-corn machine AND a juicer, just for a $108 year subscription, it can't be that ex. i even saw pop-corn salt at cold storage! when i get my popper i'll invite u gals over for beer, popcorn and movie-night like eons ago (except last time was w/o the booze), (i think we were all looking at buying some sneakers, can't remember the brand, starts with S)
C introduced me to the unholy concoction that's milo+coffee - we call it milofee though.
hope you've cheered up some by now!
=)
