So what’s up? Here’s what’s up…

• My officemate’s dad just died of lung cancer. Turns out it was already stage 4 when they found out about it. Ironically, the dad never smoked cigarettes and, as my officemate tells me, kept a strictly healthy regimen to the point of hypochondria.
• My officemate happens to be one of the sweetest people that I know of despite the fact that I’ve only known her for just a short time. It sucks to see her lose her dad - her mom died when she was still three years old.
• I just had an argument with someone regarding sexuality on a public forum. Turns out that someone was, as she terms it “raped” by her boyfriend, which became the reason she lost her virginity.
• I sounded like a male chauvinist, arrogant, insensitive pig.
• My dad left for Manila just last week. We had a terrible fight before that.
• In case you guys didn’t know, my parents have been separated for more than a year.
• I’m stuck on a Windows workstation because I had to beat a mid-July deadline for a project and I have to use Macromedia Dreamweaver.
• I haven’t started on that project yet.
• The First Gentleman and Presidential son are embroiled in a corruption scandal involving getting payoffs in illegal gambling money.
• The President herself is also involved in another scandal - this time about an alleged taped conversation to rig the elections.
• I’ll be surprised if she actually gets to finish her term until 2010. I’ll be 30 years old by then.

Sometimes with all the fucked up things happening, you just couldn’t resist yearning to be in a time of honor and chivalry.

Peace of mind is such an elusive comfort.
