All of us are planting something in our lives every single day, whether we realize it or not. And we are always reaping whatever we have planted in the past. The quality of our lives right now is the result of what we planted and harvested in some time before. We reap the good and the bad for years after we have sown. That’s why it is so important to plant and nurture the right seeds now. - From the book given by my best ever friend, The Power of a Praying Woman.
I grew up thinking that the issues faced by anyone would be vicios unless the root cause is dealt with. That is ironing things the right way, no running away, or else you will find yourself going around in circles. I had my share of circling especially during younger years. Until I reached the point of not really giving up, but trusting to the One and with time, the things which are beyond my control.

The buy 1 take 1 promo of HSBC is still ongoing.
Every minute of my most current Saturday seemed so precious. I had take-home office work meant to be sorted that day. But for some valid reasons, we had to drop by in Marina Mall to buy something. Since we were in, I insisted that we check Twilight movie’s screening schedule. Its international release is on November 21, to be shown in some countries a little late. However, screening for UAE is not in the site. The Cinema Officer claimed that still there’s no further announcement. It’s going to be shown, but not in their calendar yet. Just make sure, huh. It’s giving me worries, really. Please. Do.not.make.me.cry.
Incidentally, High School Musical 3 (HSM 3) was on its third day screening. The queue was more than for a box office. When I learned that it would be shown only for a week (ending this Wednesday), we decided last minute to catch it. So there, my Saturday became a little out of balance. As expected, I stayed so late for the paper work, with reasonable cramming on the side. Sometimes, it feels good to have your life out of direction.

Over time I have preferred to organize and record stuff online. Especially that in my profession, working papers documentation, its review and file exchanges are all happening electronically. We hardly write in the paper itself. However, there are things that will never be beaten through time. One of those is scribbling in a notebook. (I’m about to lose another bit of my anonymity). In fact, I’m working on my 1001 Letters from J.

Two weeks ago, I scouted a copycat of Ferrero Rocher, named Diamond by Solen. It has the same packaging, including the mini-labels and foil wrappers of Diamond which has a brown twirl. One glaring difference is that Diamond is almost 25% cheaper than Rocher. As you can see in the fourth photo, without the wrappers, they’re almost the same. The one in the left is a Diamond, right is a Rocher. If you want to spot based on down wraps, Diamond has a swirl, Rocher has a letter (e.g. N, E, etc.).
