Matthew 19:14

I say let’s turn ‘im on… who’s with me?

There are so many jokes and captions one can come up with after seeing the picture that it’s giving me a headache.

Trinoma

When Cris, Pia, and I went to Shangri-la [mall] last year to get my birthday gift, I noticed a compact Eagle-Creek Koala toiletry bag.

Knowing me; Mr. pack-rat utilities guy, it was the sort of product I knew would be useful (moreover, I would have use for) in the future. But I just brushed off the idea since I didn’t need it at that moment.

Sure enough, while trying to maximize available luggage space for our choir’s upcoming trip, I couldn’t use my clunky old Nike toiletry bag. The first thing that I thought was “I need to get that bag I saw last year!”

You know how it usually goes; how the universe usually conspires against someone in their quest for something. And you know that I never quit unless I have good reason to… thus began the journey to find the elusive Koala toiletry kit.

But after college, that all stopped; naturally for what my Mom claimed to be health reasons. I never really thought about what “beverage” took on the title of my favorite simply because I never was a person to look for a specific beverage since then.

Now though, I can honestly say the void has been filled:

Remembering Valentine’s

I only got to scan this recently:

It’s a letter Cris made when she had nothing else to do in the their faculty room this last V-day. She repurposed a Mother’s Day card from a magazine.

Yes, apparently, it’s a letter by me – made by her. Given to me – to give to her. Try wrapping your head around that cuz that’s exactly how it goes.
