When I say "I can't", 90% of the time, what I actually mean is "I won't" or "I don't want to."
Then again, is it just me?

Friday the 13th
Yeah, I know this is long overdue. Well, I've been extremely busy with a lot of things lately that's why I haven't been able to do anything with my blog. Anyway, I just want to share how happy my Friday the 13th was this January! It's like a dream-come-true day. Ok, I'm easy to please so don't expect major major stuff.
Anyway, I had to go to the mall to run some errands and met with my big sister later that afternoon. I felt so lucky that day because it was raining, and God! How i hate going out when it's raining especially if I have to take public transport! Fortunately, my dad agreed to drop me off even it was so out of the way. He kinda bitched a bit abt the traffic but that's ok.
Then my sister and I also decided to drop by Starbucks for a quick coffee break and I was finally able to have their Eggnog pie thingy, which I promised to myself to only buy in December (even if it was already available as early as November) but when December came, it's unavailable everytime I go to Starbucks! So the year ended and everything and I didn't get to try it. So Jan 13th was really a special time 'cause I was able to try it.
Plus, I went to Powerbooks to buy Ellen DeGeneres' "The Funny Thing Is...". I know they have it because I checked their website. And it was so weird how they got all the classifications messed up! From their website, it's under Humor/Comedy (obviously) but when I got there, it was nowhere to be found and their in-store database says it's under Self-help, Sub-class: Gender. So much for stereotyping, huh? lolz So anyway, I suggested that we also check on her other title, My point... and I do have one (which I already have, thanks to my "Secret Santa" from down under =)) and for some weird reason, it's under Humore/Comedy -- just like what their website said. BUT Sub-class: Children's books. In short, I left the mall empty-handed, well, not really empty-handed because I was able to buy "Goodbye Lover" (Ellen DeGeneres movie with Patricia Arquette, Dermot Mulroney, Mary-Louise Parker and Don Johnson) and something for my wife. Anyway, I still have an errand to do, but it was so late (how time flies when you're in Starbucks) that the store's already closed. So we decided to go home but changed our minds and went to another mall, which was near the first mall and where the car was parked 'cause my sister remembered that other mall closes at a later time. True enough, the store was still open but they don't have what I needed to buy. Anyway, we went to National Bookstore and lucky for me, they do have the book! So I went home with a stupid smile on my face, and the next day, my wife made some remark about me getting all lucky because of Friday 13th and it was only then that I realized that it was Friday the 13th.
So there, I guess, I've proven my long-time theory that Friday the 13th is indeed my lucky day -- whether I'm aware of it or not. =)
