Gift

If I knew you were going to leave that day, and in the conditions we parted, I'd have left you at home and gone out alone
It was unfair that our time together was cut short, but thinking about it, maybe it happened for good
You were my alter-ego, you knew just what songs to sing, what pictures to show me to make me feel better, you had it all
Even when I was at odds with my relatives, those that are very close to me, you found a way closer to my heart In the eyes of others, you don't look like you're worth it, but I appreciate every bit of u 'cos I knew what I did before I was able to get you
Now that you are gone, everything that belonged to you seems to bring about memories that make me nostalgic I rest, assured in the thought that I did not give you any reason to leave me that way
Providence obviously had a different plan for us altogether, a plan which I still find hard to accept But in all, I look out every day with hope, wishing you are happy where you are
No, not wanting you to stay there, but to come back to me, where you belong...I hope

Ode-esque to my Sansa - October 2006 to March, 2007

I lost my first mp3 player ever, in March 2007, it didn't even last up to 6 months with me, so sad! I'm usually very careful with things like that, so how this one slipped outta my hand beats me. I've settled to either of two things:

*One of those boys took it while I wasn't paying much attention, apparently I was too busy that weekend that I slacked on my paranoia

*It slipped off in the cab I last boarded. Ever since that day, I always check the cabs as I alight to make sure I don't have anything on the seats. I've come close to losing a phone that way, too. And most of the cab drivers can't give a shit less, they wouldn't holla at me if I'm mistakenly leaving something behind.

A week before this past Friday I was working feverishly at placing an order for a replacement mp3 player but for some odd reason the payment wouldn't be processed faster. I really don't believe in the "Every disappointment is a blessing" maxim; but this one happened to be so. I'd have been expecting the new one in the mail, without knowing I'd be getting one as a surprise soonest. And when I do, I'd be having two of them. Not that it could turn out a bad thing having two of them, but if I'd known earlier, I could channel the bucks into getting something else, like a camera. Actually, now that it's happened, I'd just use it to get a kewl camera.

So I got home and opened my box, not expecting the surprise I got, but I found in the bigger box, this docking station:



Then in the smaller box, I found this:


Excitement! It's so good to be back...

I was supposed to come with a different update, but the comments reminded me I haven't posted about my package from the weekend. So, as usual, BRB! :P
