Memory lane

Steve Jobs, you have been a legacy.

Quotating Steve Jobs on the importance of death (Stanford commencement speech, June 2005) : “No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.”

It was sad having to hear of Steve Job’s death this morning. It was like “WHAT?!” Apple products have been the greatest invention ever. I love my Macbook Pro, iphone, ipods and have never discarded them though some have become white elephants.

I got to say that I love the iphone the most. That the iphone especially doesn’t ever leave our hands much. I love the clean, neat look of apple products. The easy to navigate functions on the MacOS. The reliability of this product. This I call simplicity at it’s best. Thank you Steve Jobs for this wonderful legacy you have left behind. May you rest in peace in the heavens above.

The many things in life.

I wished I was more diligent in writing blog entries. In that way, I can always refer back to these blog posts for a refresher or even a memory. A quarter-of-a-century old I am, and my memory’s like a seventy-year-old.

So, anyway, who’s still reading?

I’ve actually started a tumblr account for more of the “a picture speak a thousand words” random update. I reckon I’m still gonna be writing here as and when my mood calls for it. My mind is always thinking of 101 things and I’m not kidding. Just as I’m typing away, I’m thinking about the limited time I have to save for big things. I’m thinking about the next chapter of my life. I am even thinking about life and death. I mean that’s all part of the human cycle.

My past few weekends were great. Having the boy accompanying me in the empty house just makes things better and complete. The things we did were simple : cleaning, supermarketing, cooking, watching teevee, taking strolls and catching a movie. I can almost picture that we will be having more of such lazy days in the next 2-3 yrs to come.

Whhuttt! Next 2-3yrs. *slaps forehead* Reality hasn’t quite set in fully, yet. I’m still positive! With God’s blessings I’m sure we’ll make it a very memorable experience! And hopefully, magically we’ll be able to see the account grow grow grow by leaps and bounds in a short period of time. Each time I think about it, it just brings excitement.

The thing is, I just don’t really know where to start from. Hahas.

We’ll get down to planning, soon. For now, I just can’t wait for December to arrive!

Blissful, me.

Love is when I wake up a few times in the middle of the night, to steal peeks at the boy lying right beside me, even though he is snoring away.

Love is when I wake up in the morning, and I have someone who helps to make me breakfast and even do the washing. *smooches*

The weekends felt long for the first time, which was a good thing. Even though at times, the boy had to scoot off to cab to his workplace to see to some issues. *major sulks* when that happens cos it means I have to be alone outside settling the grocery shopping bit or making my way home alone.

Friday was spent celebrating dad’s 60th birthday, which was a simple family dinner. Glad that the boy managed to join us. This is the 2nd year that he has joined in the celebration and many many more to come! Thanks for getting the cake, love.

Saturday was spent pigging out on food, random stuff that we did, still made us happy.

Sunday, we started the morning earlier than usual, with my homemade breakfast all ready and laid out on the table. Complete with some snuggles and lazy time in front of the teevee. That kinda sums up the day.

Am looking forward to the next weekend, again.

Happy days aplenty. Happy days, just with you.
