movie - marriage

Manila has been raining almost everyday. This morning was no exception. Wanted to go divisoria, changed plan last minute due to rain, diverted to sm north edsa. A 25-year-old mall smelled like shit in the upper ground floor.
Traffic was terrible during lunch time. Took half an hour to get thru it, to go to moa.

Watched a movie there.

"Wedding taayo, wedding hindi" by eugene and toni, both lady actors with names sound like men. In fact tony looks like a man.

The movie is about 2 couples, a married one with the wife wanting to divorce her husband because he lost all her money, and the other couple wanting to get married, bu they were getting further apart because the gal after 3 years of work in japan is a different gal now.

But both couples end up living happily ever after.

During the whole movie, the gal in front flashed her mobile, send and receiving sms incessantly. The glare from the tiny screen disturbed a lot, making focusing on the big screen very difficult. Had to use the hand to block the glare.

Went scrub and massage after dinner at her home.the abrasive gloves cut into the skin, scrapping off a lot of top cells, also exposing the cells underneath, which when in contact withe the salt and oil, felt like priced by myriads of needle; like marinating meat.

But after the whole thing, nothing hurt(change into shorts- no pantie, 45-min scrub, shower, n 45-min massage) and he felt good.

karma - dream

The buddha said, "you enter nirvana when your karma ends."

You consciously undo your karma. Can you forcefully just stop it? Like turning off a switch? Like stopping your mind wondering before you sleep? like breaking up with your gal fren when the time calls for it?

Sometimes, the action ends but the thots resurface in dreams.

Does buddha dream?

He did last nite.

massage - feeling good

They were hesitating to sign up as member, Leah Dy the manager said, " you can try out our service. If you don't like it, we will give you a discount. If you do, sign on with us."

They went for 90-min germstone massage. They had 20-minute steam, sauna and jac and shower before lying down on the massage bed.

The massage was ok, so they sign on with some conditions they insisted, like membership is transferable among 3 people since 2 of them are non-resident of manila, they could also avil to the scrubbing service, the pkg was originally for 12 massages. And price reduced from 17000P to 14000P with a free nite of stay at the hotel and other free services.

Leah said, "today is 1st day of the month, I don't have any reason to refuse a deal."

Indeed, only shrewd business woman would give all the reasons to make their customers feel good.

discipline or not - thats the question

She received a letter from her 7-old daughter, meng's teacher, telling her meng failed all subjects in school.And she needed to talk to her. She got a cringe, fearing they may kick her out of the school.

Her sister told her,"maybe meng has dyslexia, she cannot concentrate with her study. When I teach her, she gets bored very fast."

The brother in law said. " Kids are like that study is a chore that's like taking bitter pill. They don't like study. So the parents have to device a routine for them, make study part of it. Discipline them to go thru it. The mantra is, routine, discipline and affection, not the other way round."

She didn't reprimand her daughter, for she thot she's too young to understand the significance of it. And for her, discipline is the last thing she would do it to her kids.

she talked to the teacher, and got her transferred out to another lower-std class.
