self-exorcising
when i was a kid, there was a ghost in my cabinet.i would not be left alone in my room. i was scared that i might see the ghost. i had no idea what the ghost might do to me but all the same, i did not want to see it. i never really encountered that ghost but i was damn sure it was just there waiting for the right time to bother me.
my yaya taught me a trick. she said that if the ghost showed itself to me, all i had to do was close my eyes and count to ten. (she wasn't really religious so she had me to rely on math instead of some prayer.)
when i was in sixth grade, we moved to another house, to casa clemente where we are still living. now, i lock myself in my room. i am not a kid anymore. i should be able to handle a ghost when it walks up to my face.

two of my closest friends, hans and mickey, are not as sentimental as i am; they do not really keep junk. specifically, and we've talked about this a lot in the past, they have no trouble dropping (former) friends like hot potatoes. i could actualy post a list here but that's not my list to post.
anyway, i admire them for having this superpower because in spite of me being me, i still place third in this particular event. a faaaaaaar third. hmmm..perhaps the doctors were right, i do have a heart.

i want to be a better person. i'm going to the spa on saturday to rid myself of all the stress and negative energy.

there is a contact in my mobile phone directory that keeps on disappearing and reappearing.i had just deleted it when the owner of said detail, through ym, asked if he could hitch a ride. i had to ask for the number again (discretely) because i needed a means to tell him when i was already there at the meeting place.
i think it was genius, how i asked for the contact. i was like "which number should i call again, cos there are like three different numbers under your name here in my phone..."
now business is done, and i've decided to permanently erase this number. no more excuses. as a final statement concerning this doofus, i am announcing that he is henceforth banned from my shop. because that was what he always was anyway: a customer purchasing some sympathy. (and i can't believe that he misconstrued this act of kindness--just like everything else--and used it to bloat his sorry ego.)
as a policy, i don't give away freebies anymore.
