Lunch at home alone. Angelique in college and Aubrey at university.

Will author one more theology book after Pagsubok Sa Ilang, after which I will donate all of my theology books to Maryhill School of Theology.

Streamlining all of my books and hoping to end up with only one bookcase before I reach 70. I have seen, all too often, bereaved family members not knowing what to do with all those books the deceased left behind--and ending up throwing them away, donating them to unwilling recipients, or giving them to the undeserving.

In our projected study room, Angelique will have her own bookcase for her law books, and Aubrey another for her medicine books. No more bookcases other than the three--Angelique's, Aubrey's, and mine.

Books are as personal as wardrobes, and I could never impose mine on someone else.

In the present climate, no matter how vain you are, do not cinch your waist or go about with a tightened belt.

You will become short of breath and lose consciousness.

Delivery came. Excited!

I now need only six more items to complete a set but can't order them all at the same time!

Strive to be the best you can be without competing with others to be the best.

Being outdoors + strenuous activity = heat stroke

Two cups very black, Moccona espresso.

In fast-paced living, one must mentally and quickly judge a person he meets for the first time. That is why it is safest to go with friends whom one already knows from previous years.

A delivery is scheduled today. Meaning, I can't leave the house and go jalan-jalan.

Tony Perez's Art of War: Once in a while, pretend to be naive. If anyone pounces on it and laughs at you, that person is not a friend--he has been waiting for the perfect moment to ridicule and humiliate you all along.

Drop that "friend".

Good morning, Cubao!

The sun is a LED bulb in a frosted, acrylic cube.

Learn to relax, for stress is the biggest killer of the twenty-first century.

Someone should organize a procession in honor of Saint Heribert of Cologne.

I also posted a rainmaking ritual somewhere below.

And there is also The Corrected Ritual of The Wand A.T.A.R.D.A.R., which is Posted in the Secret Group of The Wands.

The elfin mound is quiet on Monday nights.

You asked me why your body is inexplicably itching all over.

I scanned you.

My answer: You've been drinking cheap, red wine.

Wine is like chocolate. If it isn't expensive, why buy it at all?

Angelique arrived from college.

Dinner at home alone; Angelique taking her dinner later.

Aubrey and R. arrived from university, a study session, and dinner out.

Gone are the days when women went to the salon to have their hair "set". As a matter of fact I haven't heard that word used in that context for decades.

I no longer use pillowcases. Instead, I swaddle my pillows with antique malongs. It gives my bed a lush, bohemian look, and it makes me feel that I am laying my head in clouds.
