Blackmail. Sex. Love. Friendship. Girls. Death. Hope. Name it, “My Rainy Days” has it. And because I love this Japanese movie so much, I’ll watch it again this weekend! Haha. I know, replaying will make me kilig over and over again!

Pushy, aggressive yet delicate...
So many jaw-dropping moments while staring at Rio (Nozomi Sasaki)! Can’t get enough of her! Visit SWORD to read my thoughts about My Rainy Days!

My parents have been married for 26 years and I am a living witness of their happy and successful relationship. I’m lucky to be their eldest daughter. Having five siblings and being born to a middle-class family is such a wonderful blessing from above. Why not, our parents only think of our future by loving us selflessly and providing our needs. And I wonder, do they still have time to celebrate on their own? My father is a farmer, my mother is a vegetable vendor. She sells what we harvest from the field. During busy days, you can find them weeding and fertilizing the crops. They always work hard. Together.
I admire my parents so much. They are not motivated by the material things around them. They are inspired by their kids’ achievements. They speak the language of love in a different way. I can’t remember our gifts to them when they celebrated their silver wedding anniversary last year. It’s not a grand celebration anyway, just the family members feasting on home-made dishes. The simplicity of our life is incomparable to others.
How about the others? What are the sources of their happiness? I am intrigued by the life of rich and famous people. How does an elite celebrate his or her birthday, graduation day, or the tenth wedding anniversary? I guess it’s always grand and splendid. But I have doubts if it can make them truly happy. Real accomplishment can’t be seen on your possessions but on your relationships.
When I get married, I want it to last forever. I want to look forward to every anniversary and celebrate it with simplicity just like what my parents are doing. My husband need not say “I love you” through a bouquet of roses, I’d rather feel it through hugs and kisses.

Lovely roses, as sweet as you!
Gift-giving during special occasion is actually a good practice though the success of celebration does not solely depends on it. When shopping for wedding anniversary gifts by year, something that symbolizes the couple, what they’ve been through and what they really like can be a perfect gift. After all, it’s the thought that counts. So go ahead and celebrate your tenth wedding anniversary in any way you like!
59 days before Christmas!
Finally, the CommTech E-Mag Committee will be working on the layout of our November issue. We just had our meeting and most of the articles have been scratched from the list due to time constraints. Some writers were not able to deliver in time.
Luckily, Mama Ems made it to the last minute. I received her Christmas article earlier and I still have to proofread it.
(Update: Done with the minor edits and adding more content. We actually switched roles!)
Speaking of Christmas shopping, we really have to do it as early as now to avoid the hassles of late Christmas preparations. At least we have ample of time to select the best gift for our love ones. You can also be sweet and thoughtful through personalized gift tags and Christmas Cards! Gift-giving has been a traditional part of Christmas but let us not forget the most essential reason of this season – love. Let’s celebrate the true spirit of Christmas!

Santa can be as sweet and thoughtful as you!
Are you trying to avoid a persistent caller? A prick? A prankster? Aside from switching off your phone or canceling incoming calls, you may want to experiment the cool features of voice changer a bit.

You'll get mesmerized...
The good side of having a voice changer is that it can hide your identity if you’re trying to brush off the person on the other line and you can also intimidate him or her by pretending to be someone else. The release of telephone voice changers in the market is not intended for negative uses. It is still a must to follow phone call etiquette.
Most China phones have a built-in voice changer application that you can activate before answering a call. Doing so can be funny and irritating at times, depending on the caller of course!
You can be someone else over the phone!
I’ve got new addiction: Bengoshi no Kuzu!
It’s not a new Japanese series but I just finished downloading it so I’ve got all the time to watch it now. No, it’s not that I’m staying at home during this rainy season. Movies are meant to be watched after shift. *sigh* As much as I want to stay couched potato while Typhoon Juan circles the Philippines, I can’t because I’m still a full-time technical support engineer. Whew, few more months and I’ll be free!
Mr. Kuzu’s approach is impressive. Takeda Masami who’s a new lawyer seems to be inspired yet reluctant at the same time to be his partner in dealing with different court cases. He was puzzled with Kuzu’s unusual behavior toward clients and his contradictory remarks from time to time. Simply proves that a new lawyer has lots of things to learn!
I wonder if there are online accredited degrees that specialize in law. My interest to implement justice becomes deeper and I know that I have what it takes to be a lawyer! *wink*

Busy thinking. Do not disturb.
