"For a wonderful evening and great food we are about to consume, cheers."
two glasses collide lightly
the two of them take a sip from the glass
the wine is sweet and delicious, definitely high quality.

they unwrap the napkin, places on their lap, and start enjoying the delicious looking food in front of them

the lap chop is moist and tender and the salad is full of fresh green vegetables and juicy cherry tomatoes, lightly dressed with Italian Dressing
the pork chop is cooked well yet it is juicy and tender, the rice is cooked to perfection and seasoned with special seasonings and herbs, the clam chowder is steaming, its texture is smooth, potatoes are cooked well not too hard nor too soft, every spoon full is filled with clam.

while savoring their dish and wine, they share a wonderful conversation
romantic dinner and lovey-dovey couple stuff

once they arrive at the hotel room, the girl jumps on her bed and rests
her boyfriend washes up and gets ready for bed

after her boyfriend comes out of the restroom, girl gets out of bed and slowly walks into the bathroom.
she brushes her teeth, takes a shower, put on her pjs, dries her hair, and brushes them before going back to bed
her boyfriend was watching ESPN on TV

boyfriend turns the channel and 9 o'clock news begins
girl borrows her boyfriend's laptop to check her email and Facebook.
nothing important is in her inbox, only newsletters
nothing much on her facebook page
bored, she plays Spider Solitare on the laptop

after restarting countless times, girl gives up and shut off the laptop
and places it on the table
and lies down comfortably on her bed

9 o'clock news ends and 10:30 news begins
she is getting sleepy
her eyelids are getting heavier every second
she gets up and goes over to her boyfriend's bed
kisses him on is left cheek and wishes him good night
goes back to her bed and falls asleep

her boyfriend lowers the TV volume but continues to watch TV
he changes the channel and watch a movie that is being aired
when the movie ended, the digital clock on lamp stand between the beds read 11:30
he turns off the TV, walks over to the table where his laptop is on, plugs the charger, places the TV remote next to the laptop and walks over to girl's bed
he tucks her in and gives a peck on her cheek and whispers "Good Night."
turns off the lights and goes to sleep

Damn, This Sucks

i had a lot of things to do this weekend
1st i was going to study and prepare for my midterm which is in less than 2 weeks
2nd i was going to wash my car
3rd i was going to go to the gym and workout

for some reason i failed to do all 3
in fact i have a presentation and an essay due on tuesday
i havent started on any of them
i gotta get out of this destructive path of procrastination
but why is it so hard?

someone once told me that procrastination is a drug, once you try it, you cant stop
i guess thats true
cuz i started procrastinating in high school and i was never able to stop
i will try hard next weekend
this weekend is already gone

Its So True

on ash wednesday
i went to church and attended mass
during the mass Father Han, priest at our church said something that i paid close attention to
he said our body adjusts to better things
our eyes adjust to clearer picture on our HD TVs
or better graphics on video games
our body adjust to softer beds and pillows
our taste buds adjust to better taste
our ears adjust to better quality sounds

once our body experiences something better, we will resent the old
this is so true
i played PS3 and Xbox360 and was amazed by their superior graphics
today i turned on my PS2 (now covered in dust) and immediately i noticed the inferior graphics
same for TVs, i dont feel like watching TV on the old TV

now how does this statement relate to church?
Father said since we adjust to something better quality we would do things the way we are most comfortable with
such as praying lying down or instead of reading the bible just skimming through
i dont know why but that just stood out to me
