Marvin's Ideas

They always says that I am a careless person because there many things that was given to be but in the end everything falls down to mess. Well, I guess it was not my fault. I think that I was the one shouldering all the defects of their belongings. My sister gave to me her cellphone that she was using for almost three years. After several months of usage the gadget suffered from many defects until it retired from service. She was blaming because according to her I don’t take proper care of things that was given to me. That’s why the next gadget that she gave to me, I decided to exchange it with my girlfriend because I know she could handle it with care. It is much expensive than the first one and I was so scared that according to them my hands are made to destroy things. Well, now I am still using the cellphone of my girlfriend and as well as she is using it.

The opening of the school year is almost in the reach. Students will then be back on their daily schemes such as studying, waking up earlier in the morning, carry those heavy bags, make projects, do assignments and many more. Hence they will say goodbye to those toys and playmates that they usually enjoy daily during the vacation. It’s time to think of more important matters in life and be serious with it. I also undergone to that stage of being like homesick wherein the moment that I was on school, I think of the fun things I did at home and it makes me sick. Yes! Really sick! In fact I always got absences in my record in the first 2 to 3 weeks of classes. That’s why I always understand those little kids who suffer from being scolded by their moms in the earliest of the morning.

It’s getting very hot in here! Even staying in mountains and forested places wasn’t able to satisfy my search for cool breeze of the wind. I went up in the higher place somewhere in the place of my cousin. The name of the place is Barangay Busay. Actually it is a mountain barangay located almost nearest to the boundary line of Cebu. When I got there, I immediately recognized the dryness of the place. I felt the very dry breeze of the wind touching my skin and it feels very terrible because it seems that it is warm. Now, instead of getting embarrassed upon my experiences on the place, I tried to think about staying downtown wherein the wind is much warmer and the worst thing there is that it is a dusty wind that makes me itchy when I felt it on my body. So totally, it is much better to be on the mountain rather than on the city.

One of my entries in my wish list is to travel and visit some of our very own historical spots. I just want to see the structures of the old aged stuffs. I believe that it’s even nicer to visit historical place rather than going to malls. Of course it’s a matter of spending money in a more relevant and useful ways. Well for me this is much better than hanging out with my friends sometimes and going into the spots like the mall. So, this might be a very long term goal since until now I haven’t started to get earnings.

There was one time when I together with my father and sister went to the mall to purchase some shoes. Mother was left at home because she doesn’t want to go with us. We went inside the department store section of that mall. Actually our father was clueless of where we are to go and what we are going to buy. Our primary purpose for that is to surprise our father for he’s been mentioning and wishing to have his favorite shoes which is the Chuck Taylor All Star. He’s been craving to wear those shoes because according to him it’s the famous shoes during his time. Pretty nice obsession right! Father felt it so shocking when we got to the point where there are a lot of Converse shoes. It thinks he knows what are we going to do there and he was looking so excited. Unfortunately there was no stock of his desired shoes but we saw a pair on the other side and father tried to fit it on. It fitted exactly on his size of feet and so he decided to get it. My sister paid the bills and then we went home. Father was feeling so excited to wear it.

Yesterday I went to the nearest internet café because I need to print a picture. I do have a printer but it has no cartridge at all. I can’t still afford to buy a pair of ink cartridge for that printer. And besides, I might also avoid buying ink cartridge for this printer because it’s a very old version and the cartridge itself is much disappointing. We purchased this printer maybe 4 years ago and we were having problems with it because it consumes too much ink even if we were only printing with minor quality setting. So that’s the result behind why I have to go to the café to do my printing.

There must be something wrong with me. I am so scared to be bald though the shape of my head is good for a bald or even a semi-bald haircut. I have been to that situation a couple of years ago especially when its summer time. But I realized that people saw me seems to be scared or frightened because of my looks. According to them it’s better for me to have a barber’s cut than to have it like it was when they saw me. As my grandma says “You’re a one great loser my dear! How could you do that unto yourself?” She seems to be worried and so concerned on my looks because I look like a very desperate guy.

Yesterday my classmate who used to be by band mate during our college days talked to me about job opportunities in the company that he was into. He was serving the company for about 6 to 8 months as a technician and maybe he is now a regular employee of the company. He said that the company is currently looking for prospective individuals who could work as an apprentice. He even started same ways and he said that it’s a lot better to try this one since there’s a near possibility of absorption. I don’t know if I should get this one since I am pretty sure that I have lost few of my previous lessons in mind. The nature of work is purely electronic troubleshooting and repair. I don’t really know if I could make it up.

Before I went to bed I always take few minutes to wash my face. After a whole day of being exposed to environmental skin threats, it is a must that I need to wash it off and take away those unhealthy particles from my skin. It’s not a matter of being too meticulous but it is good way of bringing up the natural skin health. Well it only takes few minutes to do it and after that I got a very good feeling of freshness. So, I would say that I could feel the benefited of doing that in the most immediate way.

Last Friday my girl invited me to attend the First Friday Mass in the Basilica. Off course I came there with her and we attended the 4 pm Mass. it is expected that there will be a huge number of crowd since First Friday Mass is a special Mass and I guess every catholic religious must not miss this one. So actually the place was filled with many devotees who were very serious on their own prayers. Due to the massive count of people there, not everybody was able to avail a seat to settle down. But the best thing is that eventhough there were no seats for avail for them, they still manage and stood still until the end of the Holy Mass. It was really amazing to see an image of the crowd of faithful followers of our Lord.
