Hiatus

Two reasons for my hiatus:

- intermittent internet access
- laziness

Now I have internet 24/7 so I am left with no excuses.

Posting will begin again on the 1st of April, 2009. Some will be flashbacks since I took some photos after December 16 but didn't get around to blog about it.

This is my favorite necklace. I bought this for myself when I resigned from Coral last year. When I go to New York, hopefully next year, I will buy another piece from the Tiffany & Company where Audrey Hepburn stood in the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Back when I was living in a place where there was a balcony, Harrison would perch like this on the balcony rails. Now he has to make do on the armrests of my sofa bed. I hope I can move to another place that has a balcony.

This is the doorway to my little room. It was furnished with a TV and a refrigerator. I hardly ever open the TV (which has satellite channels) but the refrigerator is frequently used.

The Last Sentence Sums It Up Nicely

Kent Keith - People Are Often Unreasonable

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may just never be enough;
Give the world the best you have anyway.

You see, in the final analysis, it's all between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.

While Real Troublemakers Are Running Free....

John Coleman has been given a 6 month suspension which led to his quitting as Drum Major of Cleveland Memorial Pipes and Drums for waving at President Obama during the inauguration.

Unbelievable.

Sometimes I let Harrison walk around the corridor since he's always cooped up in the apartment. Every time he goes out he acts as if he's seeing the corridor for the first time. He likes sniffing on other people's doors - curious of the smells within.
