The Proposal
My Bro whom I knew for over 10 years now, (You might guess by now that he is not my real blood brother) has proposed to his lovely girlfriend of many years last night.
The initial plan was a giant scam involving a fake birthday party at a hotel that fell through due to a family emergency. Nevertheless, we held an emergency secret meeting last Thursday in our attempt to finalize the "PLAN B".
The plans include a 99 bouquet of Red Roses, 1 single White Rose, bright and shiny proposal ring and all the guts he has.
Initially Plan B was to hide the ring (with the box) at her room while she was at work. My Bro would meet her at present to her the single white rose to warm things up. The idea is to get her a little suspicious but yet act totally normal on it. Hopefully it would make her anxious throughout the day. Then after he sent her home, he would call her to look for a lost "key" while he rushes down to get the 99 roses. She should be stunned long enough for him to get back to her place and present to her the BIGGER surprise. This would follow by the traditional kneeing down (we learned that its better to remove the ring from the pants pocket before kneeing down) and the Magical Words.
Unfortunately when we went to pick up the stuffs, the 99 looks like a giant stuff toy and weights more than 12 KG. It was tough getting it into the car. We had to change the plan again. In the end, the 99 was placed at her room instead. When she found it at the end of their date, he hurried up from his car and presented to her the single rose and the ring.
She said yes of course. (not after a mild moment where she fumbles to find the keys to open her gate)

Lovers of Teruel
The story of the Lovers of Teruel [wiki] (Los Amantes de Teruel) goes like any other great love stories:
… Diego Marcilla had returned with great riches and with the intent of marrying Isabel. Diego had not counted the day in which he petitioned Isabel’s father whereas the Seguras had. Diego ran to the feet of Isabel and pleaded with her to marry him. Isabel refused, for it was impossible; she had already wed. Then Diego pleaded for just one kiss so that at least he could go on in the world, and this request Isabel refused. Upon hearing this Diego could not bear the separation between himself and his love, and with a sigh he died on the feet of his beloved Isabel. The next day, during the funeral for Diego Marcilla, Isabel showed up dressed in her wedding dress. She proceeded to walk to the front of the church and place a kiss on the man whom she had refused but in doing so Isabel died, falling prostrate on the body of the man whom she loved.
The cool thing is that the remains of Diego and Isabel were exhumed and reburied in two new tombs sculpted by Juan de Ávalos in shape of the two lovers holding hands!

New Specs
Had always thought that my astigmatism was rather high. At night, I would always squnit my eyes when bright lights approaches. Its unbearable to me. Yet if you throw me in a dark forest with no torchlights (other than the stars) I could easily walk my way out of it. Perhaps I am just nocturnal.
So I visited a optician for the first time in 7 years. Its been such a long time for me . When I made my last specs, I discovered that 3 years of sleeping throughout eye-straining lectures in Poly had gave me back perfect vision. I recall paying $300 then for specs which were 0(L) and 25(R) deg. Waste of monies.
Anyway... when I had choosen my pair, the optician ask me to sit down on the scope and remove my contacts. I smiled and said I had none. He proced with the examination and reveal that my vision has changed. Its now 25(L) and 0(R). Ok that is pretty weird to me too.
Next he measured my astig. Both eyes were about 50 deg only. A far cry from a high astig of 200 which is consider bad. My itoshii looked at me and asked if I still wanted to get it. The optician then cut in and suggest that I should since everyone is affected by light differently.
Anyhow, I paid $300 for it. I console myself by saying that it makes me a safer driver at least.
Going to be a grandpa soon
For those who din know, I referred to my 8 fishes as my babies.
This morning as I entered the office and did the weekly maintainence work on the lovely tank, I found that 2 of my babies were stunningly beautiful.
Besides a tail fin, each of them has a lovely top and bottom fin which they normally stow away to allow for faster swimming action. Somehow 2 of them decided to spread out their fins to reveal all their beauty. It got my attention no doubt and seemingly the rest of the others noticed it too.
Everyone wants to mingle with them. Chasing them around or just staying near around them. I got a feeling they are at a stage which I like to call "Full of Eggs".
Very soon I would be a grandpa

Coffee is good
As I was discussing with INKY on the benefits of coffee, he claims that it cause his hands to shake. However, I believe he just have to drink enough to stop the shaking. As proven by FRY from Futurama

lamest superheroes
Here is The Red Bee - Appearing in the 1940s in "Hit Comics #1" the Red Bee was basically your powerless vigilante type character. However instead of wearing a cool costume like Batman or the Shadow, the Red Bee opted for a red pirate shirt with pink pouffy sleeves and red and yellow striped tights.
I wonder if Inky have read of them.

Happy 2007
2006 has been an interesting year for me. A colleague pointed out that it is actually bad year for those who are born in the year of the goat. (Thats me) Indeed it seem.
Briefly its a year of heartaches and disappointment. But as they said, what doesnt break you only serve to make you stronger.
In any case, I am looking forward to a better year in 2007. Who knows, I make decide to change job and follow my dream or my heart.
