Life is a cycle. It goes on and on. Just as the earth revolves around the sun, it also turns on its on axis in the same rhythmic passion from day to night, night to day and days to months, months to years and years to decades ... centuries and lightyears. Five billion lightyears away, where would it be? Five billion years from now, I definitely would not be but life still may be and some other being would be thinking the same things I am thinking now. Some other being would be asking the same question my significant other wondered and worried about.
I never learn.
My life's own cycles. I go through these cycles. Some bigger and longer ones, others small and a number minute to even notice. Beginning and end where the end becomes the beginning and so it goes. Trapped in your own little world of new beginnings and different endings. And as you live longer and look back, you learn that one never learns even how often history repeats itself. It does, really. You go through the same cycle thinking that this time, you would do something else based from the past, you would or would not do it again. Along the way, if you stop and think, it's just the cycle all over again.
I never learn.
It is always easier for a child. With no worries and woes, with no preconceived notions. Ignorance is bliss, innocence a blessing. Filled with ideals and aspirations, a child looks at the world with hope and wonder. Happiness and contentment, easily attained. Friendships mean friendships. Relationships, never questioned and just accepted. When an infant is hungry, it cries. When it is full, it burps and falls asleep eventually. When it wets, it cries. When it's time to do what it has to do, then it does it and it is done. And in this cycle of life, in the end when we revert back and become a child once again, we all do the same things. Only this time, we are not as happy and content. Tears roll down our eyes as memories flash back. A mother breastfeeding a child, although however burdened some may be always have the joy within. The child that once was spoonfeeding the aged mother burdened, hopefully never lose the joy within.
Life's cycle. The things we should learn along the way.
I never learn.
I go through the same cycles over and over again. I've gone through my cycles thrice and still, I have never learned from the past two.
The cycle will not stop until I learn. I can't stop until the last breath.
I better learn then.

Feng Shui.
So let's try it out. Change the orientation of all the doors going in. Never mind the plasters and forego with the aesthetics.
Down The Hill
Yesterday was the very first day since I got back that I felt I did not accomplish any task although I actually did. I finally set up the webcam pages that were missing. The turn of events just dragged my spirits to the pits. First, I had problems with Yahoo uploading the webcam. Then, about lunchtime, the network server just went poofed. It was downhill after that. I couldn't concentrate. My eyes were starting to feel puffy, I felt so icky that I wanted to jump in the shower or probably a nice hot bath in the jacuzzi would have served me better. The DSL tech came to check up on the modem and stayed till the evening loitering all over the house. He was so nosy to a point that I almost lost my cool. He wasn't really too irritating and it was just his nature considering that he's one of those less fortunate and didn't have enough education. Specialized in what he does but he not really knowing much about how the technology works together as a whole. What is better? Jack of all trades and a master of none or the other way around?
By nightfall, I realized that I was suffering from PMS. Not again! PRIMROSE OIL, I need some primrose oil. Better yet, how about some prozac? While I was staring at the ceiling, thoughts about how times have changed passed by. How the decisions I made in the past seem to be the wrong ones considering with what was happening to the world now ... mine included. I am just left correcting now or trying, at least to get by. Guilt.
Mom, for one has always been good at making me feel guilty. Everytime she thinks out loud about the time that the building I am currently occupying was for sale and I actually said that there really wasn't a point in buying it since we were in the process of immigrating to Canada. For one, she wasn't liquid and was contemplating on borrowing from the bank. I knew that all I had to say at that moment is go ahead but I did not. So everytime she tells that story over and over again, she just makes me feel guilty more and more. As a matter of fact, she's repeating the same story now that my contract has expired.
And so I stare at my beroom ceiling as she stares at the living room's ceiling. She again tells the same stories over and over again. She asks me why she listened to me? Why she renovated our ancestral house? She's stuck with higher realty tax, higher maintenance cost while the economy is just getting worse and so with my business. Again, it seems that I am to blame. And so I stare at my bedroom ceiling as she seems to make some sense.
What am I going to do now?
There are no good TV shows that can keep my eyes glued on the idiot box. All the good shows are gone. Even the music is nothing extraordinary. There really is nothing so new or so fresh.

Balance
Through the course of my lifetime, I have played hard and worked hard with much passion. I learned along the way. Some of which experience taught me well, others experience polished. Generally, those who go to school spend two decades of their lives in it. Well, there are of course the less fortunate ones who never went to school and the more unfortunate ones who decided to drop out and be a drop out of society as well. There are those who continue on forever searching, learning and glued to printed paper perhaps ... the scholars, professors who miss out on one half of the whole deal living their life vicariously through someone else's experiences. Not all we learn, we remember and as we grow older, we do forget a lot of things that we've tucked away. They are there and that's what makes us unique. And underneath all these is CHANGE ... the changes we all go through that which always lead to refinement whether it be for the good or for worse. It is finetuned. When one chooses to be a con man, his skills get polished too. It's just a matter of the old cliche, the battle between good and bad ... yin and yang ... day and night ... black and white.
Balance.
It is when no matter how ugly, unfair and terrible the situation may be ... one sees the beauty of it all as how good and wonderful it really is in the end. Everything falls into its proper places. After every storm, although how wicked or how high the tsunamis get ... everything settles down and there's always the sun shining through.
God bless us all.

Home Is Where The Heart Is
Since 1988, everytime that plane landed whether it be Canada or the Philippines, I always had the same ol' feeling of coming home. It's like the good-to-be-home-kinda thing which I also get the same kind of feeling when I take the first step off the bus or the subway when it hits my stop in Manhattan.
It's odd that for the first time I am feeling homesick and miss the Maple Leaf and exactly what I miss, I can not put a finger on it. I have never felt this way before.

Decades
Ten years! A decade has passed.
I've been around for four and a half decades, 2 have been spent during the night time. Twenty two years, well twenty three almost. I'd say three years from now during the silver year, I should be fully retired from this kind of lifestyle. It's just but the right time to go on semi-retirement now. For the past two decades I have been awake at night till the sun rises. I dreaded the sun like a vampire. And like a vampire, I did not age so much except for the dark rings in my eyes. My complexion too ... I was spared from pollution and no traffic. I enjoyed the night life, partying while working and working while partying. I met people from different walks of life ... more or less where more is more and less is less, and nothing but average. Dreamers, losers, winners and achievers I brush elbows with and tossed glasses, brushed cheeks and indulged in chit-chat, shared visions and forever dreamt ...
Happy times. Fun times. The ups always were more than the downs. I felt with passion. I was alive and lived through the fullest. Thank you, Lord for making my life worth living.
Today is the official day that I am operating without a contract on my lease.

'twas GOOD!
What did I do today?
I HAD A GOOD LAUGH. Marcial, our driver was filling up the tank at the gas station. While waiting, this gasoline attendant-female went up to the van's side mirror at the driver's side. She looked at her reflection up close then started making faces. The van's windows were tinted one way so she didn't know that there were people inside watching her. She continued on and started pricking blackheads or whatever on her nose for a good five minutes. Rem and I were cracking up watching her.
I HAD GOOD COFFEE. We met up with Karen at Starbucks. The cappuccino I ordered wasn't very good but the coffee jelly was. Oh yeah, the other day over at UCC Vienna Cafe, I had a good meal: Chicken Terriyake Eggplant Sandwich, one of my favorites. Rem and I tried out this Pod Thai, it was good enough. Everything tastes good when one is hungry. I didný much like dinner though except Mom was sweet enough to buy me some fresh greens. I miss my salads. I feel I am gaining weight again. I haven't been physical since I got back. Need to sweat and stop eating again.

Inventories
Spent the whole day retouching the underwater photos I took during our last dive. Saturday, I spent the whole morning organizing the photos and negatives. I'm still missing my old negatives file. I wonder where it has gone to? Astral, maybe. That's one other thing that should be included in my TO DO LIST. But that's not so important. It's just a matter of getting things in order in terms of my music library. The things one accumulates or acquire throughout one's lifespan, eh.
I should do an inventory of some sort and draw up my will.

Go With The Flow ... In Traffic
A whole day in traffic! We started out as early as 8 AM to pick up Gina and an hour and a half later, we finally got to her place. Then off we went to Art's and we get there for another hour and a half. We surveyed the place, had lunch and left at 12:30 NN thinking that traffic since it's lunchbreak shouldn't be so bad. Off to the kennels we went with no traffic should only be forty five minutes to an hour. By the time we got there, we were pooped from the heat. It was bumper to bumper, stop and go that the air-conditioning system just didn't cope up with it. AAARRRGGGHHH! We did our rounds as to what needed touch-ups and repairs after cooling down. At 4PM, we were on the road again to meet up with Karen at the Fort area. Well, we ended up at UCC two and a half hours later and decided to have dinner. We finally got home close to 10 PM. Traffic is really horrible these days. There's no such thing as rush hour anymore. It seems that even in the wee hours of the morning, it's still a stop and go situation and never a free flow. And it's not going to improve come Christmas season.
I finally proofed the photos I took the last dive. There are some very nice shots, I was surprised actually. "Gee, I took that?" It just makes me want to go diving again and take more shots. Today, when I woke up I decided to organize the film negatives and positives. Ideas are hovering mad. Do oil painting with some of KQ's underwater shots and have a side by side exhibit. Also an exhibit of dogs and marine life as in "Paws-N-Fins". Or maybe, start compiling the photos into portfolios. Enlarge some of them. Publish.
Toffee's and Zoom's documents arrived. All these ... everything seems to be falling into place. Signs. Signs. Signs. It's about the right time, I suppose. Go with the flow. Expend energy and expand. Live. And thank you for the blessings, Lord!

Need I Say More?
Awesome! Great! Wonderful! Pleasant! Most relaxing! Most Fulfilling! Most satisfying!
I had fun diving! We broke our own record!!! 121 minutes for one dive! The four dives we did were all over 60 minutes! It is just so nice to be diving in warm water again with gear that you are really comfortable with. This is also the first time I was serious with my macro photography. It's actually just the second time I held a still camera doing macro but I consider this first because this is actually the first time that I wasn't at all concerned about other things like bouyancy ... sharks ... trigger fish ... I was just drifting wherever there was anything of interest to the eye and making the shot. It wasn't even point and shoot ... It was really gratifying!
Now if we can only do this more often. We know what that means, don't we?

Our gain, their lost.
I just found out that Guia and Kate won't be joining us for the dive tomorrow. And Karen hasn't called. It's just us then.
Sunday, October 05, 2003
Yeah!
Goin' DIVIN'!!! Goin' DIVIN'!!! All the bags (or should I say pelican cases) are packed and ready to go! For the last three days actually, I have been getting the gears ready. Camera, video and batteries included, they are all charged. My gadgets are also organized for some serious shoots. All I have to do is get my ass on the road. I'm going to try underwater photography this dive with the Nikon N70/Ikelite casing. We were supposed to have gone today 'cept I postponed it for tomorrow since three computer technicians are scheduled to come today and get the computers workin' again. Plus, we're actually suppose to be diving with Karen who supposedly have arrived last Saturday but hasn't gotten in touch with us. We're going anyways, with or without her TOMORROW. So there, I'm still doing my TO DO LIST.
I can't get a hold of Gina, my architect. DANG!!!
My box hasn't arrived yet. FedEX package came too but it's not Toffee's papers. We're now officially CKC bonafide members. I hope the next one is Toffee's so I can register him already. He's managed to lock himself with Latte. Spice is currently on heat and Vanilla will be, too ... soon. I really hope the three bitches get pregnant. It's about time! Is it just wonderful that Toffee came and all three bitches just went on heat. They must all think Toffee is something!
Jess, my dog trainer showed up today. I haven't gone down to entertain him. He's been here since this morning. Should I or shouldn't I? Oh, Cris finally picked up Drums and says she'll come back for Dulci. Now Pam, I know wants a Groen and so with Teody. Both are dog lovers BUT ...

REFRESH
Renovate. Revamp. Reorganize. Retrain.
Do I want to re-invest my lifetime savings tucked away for my retirement? As a matter of fact, I want to add more to it. When is enough ENOUGH? Three choices: Re-invest by taking a RISK with my lifetime savings. Borrow from mother or bank ... borrow back money I gave mother in the past. Both ways, I would still be paying interest. Or simply just ask mother ... I haven't done that. Everybody else seems to be leeching off her. Tsk! Nah! Another choice is to get investors willing to be partners. Can I work with partners? Hmmm ...
I need to sit down and brainstorm with my architect. I need to sit down with the franchise guys again. I need to hold meetings ... set-up staff and conduct interviews along with job performance evaluations. I need to definitely let go of some people and hire more efficient, competent personnel. Most of all, I need to get my butt off this chair and start doing the things I need to do.
These are the things I have to do in order to do the things in my List of Things To Do.
It's a mess. The other stuff in my list also require if not the same amount of other stuff to get done. For me to exhibit my works, I need to log and edit my existing raw footages of video. I need to shoot more footages. I need to set up the darkroom. I need to go on shoots. I need to start painting again. I need to learn how to use the video editing softwares and the other enhancement tools too.
As for the dogs, I need to finish my website so that I can post all the necessary details, requirements and pre-requisites in downsizing my kennel operations. Just as well as the organizations I want to set-up as in agility and the ABCD, I. I need to get my files organized.
And to do all these ... I need TIME.
How much time do I have?
I also need TIME to KEEP FIT, STAY HEALTHY to do all these things too.
Time management.

Kill Over
A blood pressure of 90 over 60 is normal, for me. It can be like 80 over 50 and I'm just a little bit dizzy but it's not like I'm about ready to faint or kill over. At 100 over 70 which is normal to a lot of people, I would consider a bit on the high side. Then I would be irritable, sleepy and would have dizzy spells. At 110 over 70, I feel pressure happening in my nape and my eyes feel like popping out. Over 80, my jaws would be like becoming stiff and am a bit nauseous by then. At 120 over 80, man ... it's migraines galore with pumping action combined with all the other discomforts. If it rises any more, I would kill over.

Cash Flow Is Low, Ya Hear!
I heard gossip two days ago: The reason why Cob Kennels is no longer showing its dogs is because the Belgians have not been winning. Dog people are funny. Somehow, a lot of them don't have a life outside the dog world. And yes, they are the affluent ones and with no worries. They devote their life to the dogs. So they indulge in gossip.
Cash flow is low. Showing is expensive, guys. Cob Kennels don't have the extra cash to show at the moment.
Jim sent me an email which was quite ... hmmm ... It was about GETTING A LIFE. About living your life. Which is actually what I'm doing but somehow ... when cash flow is low, one need to work on it. Why can't life be simpler and why are some people able to live their life the way they do ... I don't know ...
My migraine is acting up. I can feel pressure in my nape. I went to bed with a headache and I woke up, still with the headache.

Cash Flow Is Low
One of my biggest expenditures are my dogs and the maintenance of the kennels. I have to work on my website. I need to downsize the kennels. I need to fix the kennels. Cash flow is low.
If I close down my business and semi-retire, the kennels are going to eat up my life's savings. I need to reduce my kennel operations. I need to at least make some money from the kennels. God, I detest puppymillers and backyard breeders! Cash flow is low.

All these signs ... Yeah, yeah ...
1
Power Mac G4 not starting up. Apparently, the boot disk crashed. AARRGGHH! There's a bad sector in the hard disk. Allan, whom I bought the hard disk from is not returning my calls. Joseph pulled it out and would try to recover the hard drive and I have not heard from him yet. And so, I have not touched the Mac. The thought of reinstalling all the software programs again and whatever files I had in the crashed HD just drives me nutty.
2
The Acetech Windows 2000 with the Pinnacle Editing System too is not booting up. Jonathan came yesterday to reinstall. I'm still waiting for the techs from the wireless network and the Adobe/Pinnacle guys to set the computer back to its state before I left last Spring. The zip drive is also malfunctioning and needs to be pulled out.
3
The missing box. How can I set-up the darkroom when all of the manuals and guidebooks are in the missing box? Not to mention, the software manuals for video editing are also in there, like Final Cut Pro 4!!! How can I get started on weightlifting when the Soloflex straps are also in the box? Sure, I can buy but it's a waste of money. Cash flow is low.
4
Renovate, my lessor advices. My mother says "Great, one less worry. I can sleep now." Maybe she can, but I can't. I need to renovate but where am I going to get the funding? Cash flow is low.
5
Embark on Cool Dogs project. Things are falling into place ... I see it. I see the signs but, but ... Franchise Cool Dogs. Franchise AV. Cash flow is low.

The Acetech Windows 2000 with the Pinnacle Editing System too is not booting up. Jonathan came yesterday to reinstall. I'm still waiting for the techs from the wireless network and the Adobe/Pinnacle guys to set the computer back to its state before I left last Spring. The zip drive is also malfunctioning and needs to be pulled out.

The missing box. How can I set-up the darkroom when all of the manuals and guidebooks are in the missing box? Not to mention, the software manuals for video editing are also in there, like Final Cut Pro 4!!! How can I get started on weightlifting when the Soloflex straps are also in the box? Sure, I can buy but it's a waste of money. Cash flow is low.

Renovate, my lessor advices. My mother says "Great, one less worry. I can sleep now." Maybe she can, but I can't. I need to renovate but where am I going to get the funding? Cash flow is low.
