I really can't help it, but I keep getting distracted! You see, we have a storybook-making project on Mesopotamian Civ. due next Friday, and we have 0% progress. Ugh...must think of a story NOW...

The whole universe is conspiring against me! - and Sudoku woes

Ok, so my first entry's title is so macabre and strange...even for me. But anyways, I think it's SO dramatic...don't you? :))

I consider myself an optimist, really, so "Woe is me!" isn't exactly my catchphrase. I just felt like rambling to the world a bunch of circumstances that I think are really *sniff*-worthy.

Woe # 1 : Missing Tony Meloto's talk at the AC Vigil last night.

* I superduper wanted to go, but unlimited parking space and time conflicts made me miss it. *sigh* That's why I was so emo and silent last night...I was THAT upset. Plus, a certain someone whom I'll just call Shilly had to text me at 11, filling me in on all the great stuff I missed. Hay, buhay... *

Woe # 2 : My Bittersweet Sudoku Gadget

* Just yesterday afternoon, I was watching Mara solve Sudoku puzzles on a you-can-tear-a-page book. Then when I came home (I was emo, remember?) I unwrapped my dad's pasalubong from his latest court case in Japan and I actually felt better. Before he left, he asked me what I wanted, and I asked him to get me pineapple-flavored Pocky (I first tasted them in the FACETS Assets - haha...Kaye! :D - teambuilding and they were like...heaven) or any other variant as long as it's not chocolate (well, they do sell choco Pocky here, so what's the difference if it's bought from Japan, ne?). He ended up getting strawberry - GIANT strawberry. I swear, each stick is about as long as a ruler! :)) That really made me laugh. He also told me that he had a surprise...turns out it was an electronic Sudoku game! My mom and I tried to pry the battery cover (?) open, but to no avail. It only got uncovered this morning when someone lent us a small screwdriver. I re-injected the batteries and viola: my number-gridded Sudoku journey began! As with every journey though, there are times when things go wrong. The first time I completed a puzzle (this morning), I felt so happy, especially since I did it in less than thirty minutes (not bad for a first-timer, ne?). But then when I tried solving a second puzzle, something would always go wrong with the numbers...~~hence the title~~*sigh*

Haha...but now I guess it wasn't so bad. There really are just times when we Homo sapiens think like something so incredibly miniscule in our intricate universe can mean the apocalypse.

But then again...what right have we to do so, when we already have so much...

...while other people can stay contented yet have so much less...?

Think about that.
