"S" HAPPENS

Sh!t happens!

A couple of days ago I was on fire writting good words and mentioning names that had made an impact on us. I have reached the length of a worthy blog to be published. But darn it! Right after I click "publish", the words "error in page" appeared on screen. And all my hard work is gone! It whipped my like Yoyong the typhoon did to your country men several days ago. It was a moment of s@*^!

So here I am a couple of days after that blog-mishap, sitting infront of the laboratory pc while waiting for the surgeon to make his grand entrance. It is raining outside when I left home. For sure Lany had forgotten to take yeterdays laundry this morning. We had attempted to take it last night but it's still damp. Now for sure it's soaking wet! And when I get to her place later she will be fuming mad!

(45 mins after the operation)

I'm back from the operating room! There was a big fuzz with the urologist being 20 mins late. It surely pissed the anesthetist. But who isn't on the edge now a days? Me and Lany on the other hand have been like a "siamese fighting fish"over the past few days. Well, who wouldn't be? When your own relatives decide to diss you in the middle of the preparation to your OWN WEDDING, I guess you have the right to be mad. Poor Lany, whe was crying, and very frustrated over the entourage last night. Why? Because our Primary Sponsors list is like a ballot being counted after the election. Sometimes their names are in, and sometimes they are out. Who has the right to make decisions to this wedding anyway? If there is anybody who should call the shots IT'S US! I don't want to go to details anymore. We just want to express our disappointment with the rest of the brood!

We would like to extend our thanks to our friends who expressed their concerns over us. You guys are so sweet! Marianne Manalo and Evelyn Dabu (Lany's close friends), called a "barangay chat", when they heard about our flight sched being cancelled. I called it "barangay chat" because they are like a barangay capt and his men, calling out an emergency meeting. You guys are cool!

Later on I will be checking my part of the guest list. Our budget dictates that we can only invite 200 guests. It is extremely difficult to pick and eliminate the ones that you love. We have read articles over this matter. It say's that we should give priority to close relatives and close friends in choosing. We should also take in great consideration our suppliers (for example the quartet, photo and video etc.) that will be present on that day. Like Philip said, "you can't make the photographer hungry! Or else he will take horrible shots." And so, to our relatives that won't be invited, we are very sorry! We can only wish that it is possible to accomodate all of you. We hope that you understand.

On the otherhand, there are a handfull of friends that we wish could be there, but can't. CJ Blase, my dear friend and constant chat mate. You have been wonderful to me. We never lost communication even after she went to the windy city. Gladys, who is now working in a laboratory beside the morgue in Jerssey. Me and the guys will miss you! You still are our baby sister with a baby.
To Ellen "Texan Ilocana", and Onat "Latik", Jhen Cusipag will be there in your behalf. Please get in touch with me.

Hmmm...the weather seem to have clouded up my mind. I wanted to write some more, but I can't think of anything. Winter in Bahrain has started about two weeks ago.Today, there is a little bit of rain. Its a nice day to sleep. Unfortunately, there is still work to be done. Time to space out for a while, and sip a cup of hot coffee before I start to work. Ta-ta!
