T-minus 23 hours and counting...

"All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go..."

okay...that's not the goodbye song I want my blog to sing for you. It's this:

"Goodbye For Now" by P.O.D.

I can still see the light
at the end of the tunnel shine
through the dark times
even when I lose my mind

But it feels like no one
in the world is listening
and I can't ever seem
to make the right decisions

I walk around in the same haze
I'm still caught in my same ways
I'm losing time in these strange days
but somehow I always know
the right things to say

I don't know what time it is
or whose the one to blame for this
Do I believe what I can't see
And how do you know
which way the wind blows

Cause I can feel it all around
I'm lost between the sound
And just when I think
I know, there she goes

Goodbye for now
Goodbye for now
So long

Goodbye for now (I'm not the type to say I told you so)
Goodbye for now
So long (I think the hardest part of holding on is letting it go)

When will we sing
A new song

We're still smiling as the day goes by
and how come nobody
ever knows the reasons why
Bury you deep so far
that you can't see

If you're like me
who wears a broken
heart on your sleeve

Pain's a struggle that
you know so well
Either time don't
It can't or you just won't tell

I'm not the type to say
I told you so
I think the hardest part
of holding on is letting it go

I don't know what time it is
or who's the one to blame for this
Do I believe what I can't see
And how do you know
which way the wind blows

'Cause I can feel it all around
I'm lost between the sound
And just when I think I know
there she goes

Goodbye for now
Goodbye for now
So long

Goodbye for now (I'm not the type to say I told you so)
Goodbye for now
So long (I think the hardest part of holdin on is lettin it go)

When will we sing
A new song

And you can sing until
there's no song left (song left)
And I can scream until
the world goes deaf (goes deaf)

For every other word
left unsaid you should
have took the time to
read the sign and
see what it meant

In some ways everybody
feels alone so if the
burden is mine then
I can carry my own

If joy really comes
in the morning time
then I'm gonna sit back
and wait until the
next sun rise

Goodbye for now
Goodbye for now
So long

Goodbye for now (I'm no the type to say I told you so)
Goodbye for now
So long (I think the hardest part of holdin on is letting it go)

When will we sing
A new song

Get well wishes and more...

Thanks to the Castro clan (June, Jerrold, and little Aki) for sending me a lovely get well card. I'm happy get well thoughts make it across the great Pacific Ocean, and land in my mailbox :-) And thanks to all my friends and co-workers who've been wishing me well throughout this illness. I hope my impending PI trip will help to permanently solve my thyroid problems.

I'll keep you all posted if possible from the PI. Otherwise, news will have to wait until I get back. But thanks again for thinking of me, and keeping me in your prayers ^_^

-------------------------- what else? ------------------------------

It looks like it's election year again. The park that's never clean and kempt at Latte Heights is suddenly getting a makeover. There's fresh paint on the monkey bars and swings and crawling tubes. But the grass is still overgrown, and probably teeming with snakes and other crawling things. Maybe the effort is not yet finished. Or maybe it's half-assed.

But, it seems things only get done when election is near. And things that were promised in previous platforms aren't followed-up. It's like we always start over and never follow-through. How can improvements ever be made?

Well, that's all I can rant about for now on this subject...

-------------------------- next topic -------------------------------

I've finished the Sex and the City DVD series. The entire series, yes. It was fun, but it was nearly a non-stop marathon, except for the hours I was away at work or sleeping. You see, once I start a DVD series, I can't stop. Especially if the entire enchilada is there. So, I feel I've accomplished something great (and time-consuming) before embarking on the trip.

-------------------------- Chet news -------------------------------

My Chetman is getting married next month. That's partly why I wanted to get rid of my thyroid ASAP. I didn't want my health problems to linger over their wedding activities. I'm sure I'll still be adjusting medications during that time, but the problems will have decreased significantly enough so that I may unload some amount of stress. So let me be the first to congratulate my sis and my soon-to-be brother-in-law, Vic. Congrats ^_^

-------------------------- behave, kids -------------------------------

I'll be back...

wow...my face is really clear in this pic. you don't want to see me know. break-out city. must be the stress...
