CLEANING SKILLS

-

Sorting out electronic files may be daunting.  But when you get the ball rolling I am coming in to a sort of amusement of rearranging, folder creating, renaming, removing, replacing and assigning.  It’s a matter of prompting a quick start I would find myself enjoying the undertaking.


It’s different with the physical cleaning which is not my best area of expertise but maybe I am just not doing my best effort.  Or the effort could not be enough in the light that there are things I don’t see that some skilful cleaners can see.  It’s like I am living in a parallel universe where some objects are just ghosts to me.  The socks on floor seem not there all the time or onion skins and sachets clatter unnoticeably while cooking for instance.  Anyhow, what can I say?  My office desk: Wires and cables lie like dead snakes all around the computer; files on shelves are yet to be sorted from what are needed and what ain’t; I got too many jugs and mugs wherein I only use one which is most likely handy and yet sometimes my mood tells me to use the others or maybe too many jugs drive my mood crazy; some of the paper memos pinned to my bulletin board I realise just now has been there to remind me on what I ought to do in 2011.


Why is there a saying that cleanliness is next to godliness?  I am more on believing that it’s more on purifying ones heart. The song of David, Create in me a Clean Heart, explains it clearly that cleanliness is pertained by the Bible with what’s inside.  Otherwise I am doomed in the sense that I look at myself as being deprived on cleaning skills.


Having said all of these, I also believe that House Cleaning is a good therapy.  There is certain feel-good spirit in seeing how shiny your glasses were, how your wooden centre table are dust-free or how things in the cupboard are neat and organised.  It’s just that my kind of therapy has not geared me in that direction.  For me I find therapy in music, painting, writing, reading.  Accomplishment in these areas gives me that feel-good spirit which makes me care less on the socks on the floor, empty sachets sashaying in the kitchen, dead snakes on my office desk or the collections of old papers.


However, I must admit that it’s a bad habit not to keep your surroundings tidy.  Maybe my brain is not wired much on such undertaking.  I think I need to start rewiring and get in the habit.


It’s a good thing that it is a fact that there are no snakes in New Zealand or I would suspect that I got one behind my computer.

Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti

-
This morning, I craved for a Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti. And so I told Claire that I was gonna go to the Asian Store in Cashel to buy that Del Monte Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti sauce. She told me that she wanted to come along so she would see what else she could buy in the store. Then JC has to come along with us. . There is one store that might become popular soon for the pinoys in Lincoln called Filipino Mart. However, since I was in hurry to cook and to satisfy my craving, we settled to visit the nearer store. And so we shopped and shopped in the popular Asian Store in Cashel. Along with the sauce and spaghetti, I prepared grinded meat, Kransky (substitute for the Purefoods hotdog which we do not have here), onions, green pepper, carrots, and garlic. And so I cooked. I was sure I could never go wrong as long as I have the Filipino Sweet Style Spaghetti Sauce. It was almost like I thought that I could do with more or less ingredients and still I could come up with del

STAGE DIRECTOR

-
I am fascinated when I get to watch shows like X-factor and the Voice where the professionals get to guide the talent. The way the relationship goes well between the talent and the mentor is when the talent gives complete trust with the mentor and just accepts that the mentor has a better view of how the talent can emanate the stuff effectively and well. It’s just like a director who has the best view on what’s going on outside the stage. I remember there was this hip guy who was part of the cast in the stage play. During the rehearsal the director directed him to exaggerate his movement. But the guy being cool but a newbie thought that the movement is awkward and not cool. And so he did not follow the director’s direction when the rest of the cast exaggerated their movements during the performance. During the performance it turned out that the audience viewed that the cool guy was awkward on stage and the rest of the cast were outstanding. What is deemed awkward in real life is normal

UST Class 5 CE

-
What is good about having a Facebook Account is that you get the probability to touch base with your long lost classmates. It all started when a certain guy which I did not recognize in his profile picture by the name of Alex commenting “ If I am not mistaken, you were UST Batch (Bleep) 5 CE. Right?” And then he produced a class picture which included me 60 pounds ago. “O yeah, he is Alex from Class 5 CE. And then a few days after, several of my classmates from 5 CE sprouted and asking to add them in my Facebook Contact List. Amazing! It’s like I feel young again. There is also a feeling that you want to catch up with them and see how they are after all the decades. Ooops! Years. What do you know? Most of us haven’t been in touch after graduation and after the Besavilla Crash Course for CE Board Exam.
