And then they attack

I was confident because the big box where I stored my books and other projects was beautifully standing in some corner of my new house. This box is not just BIG but very heavy because all my design books, my favorite fiction and non-fiction books and my finished projects were stored in it so I have easy access on them.

However, due to heavy load in the office and the travel time I took every day from Cebu City to Lapulapu City that would left me so tired I would find myself sleeping in the living room, I was not able to transfer them to my room. So it stood there in the corner waiting for me.

Last night however was a disaster! When I opened the box looking for some project samples, I saw a termite on the box cover. I palpitated! I moved the box and saw the disaster!

I never knew the box stood there majestically strong but inside it was crumbling to pieces.

This book and above suffered most of the termite attack. I wonder what does this mean. Is it really a curse?

And then the also take joy in eating Ruining It For Everybody.

And Robb Walsh asked them: Are You Really Going to Eat That? I think their answer was a big YES!

Also they started eating Tomas Osmeña.

And Erma Bombeck's When You Look Like Your Passport Photo, It's Time To Go Home

SO I KILLED THEM ALL!

Uplifted

I planned to hear mass a few hours ago but my hunger prevented me to go any farther from Thirsty. You see, I was so tired from last night so that when the alarm went off for the 3am pre-fasting activity, I just turned it off and went back to sleep. I was not able to eat for about 20 hours since the dinner the other night. So I ordered a fruit salad and a cold buko juice. I was actually trembling in excitement when I saw the food.

Since I was already late for the mass, I stopped by at Booksale and browsed for interesting titles. I went home bringing five and a mag.

• Lovesick by Angeles Mastretta (same author of Women with Big Eyes which I loved)
  
• By the Light of My Father's Smile by Alice Walker
  
• The Year of Living Dangerously by Christopher Koch (this was made into a movie, right?)
  
• Hands Up by Paul Magrs
  
• The Confessions of Max Tivoli by Andres Sean Greer (I thought this was the original story of Benjamin Button but it was not, they say)
  
• body+soul magazine
  

When I arrived home from the long walk, I opened up a pack of Yogi Tea to uplift myself. A message on the flap said- An attitude of gratitude brings out opportunities. Well said. Truly I am very grateful with life and the beauty and passion it brought me. I couldn't ask for more.

Another lovely day well spent.
