Rest In Peace, Mr. Motorcycle Guy!

This is probably the longest I've gone without any postings. Five whole days even. It's like a record of sorts for me. And it's not entirely by choice. I've had a pretty good weekend followed by a horribly busy Monday. And to top it all off, I was totally traumatized by an accident I witnessed yesterday in which this guy on a motorbike lost his life in a very horrible manner :( I'm not going to go into the details about it as it's not something I'd like to remember. I was so traumatized by it that I could hardly sleep all night long. Life is so fragile and unexpected at times. May his soul rest in peace.

Anyway, besides that, I had a pretty good weekend. I hardly touched my blog at all over the weekend. Don't worry, I'm not giving up blogging. You guys are not going to get rid of me that easily ... LOL! The main reason was because wifey, the kids and myself were out for most of the day on both Saturday and Sunday and we were just too tired to even think of logging on when we got home. The other reason was also because the desktop PC had been sent for reformatting and we were left with just the laptop and we didn't feel like taking turns blogging (normally we'd be online together) so we just stayed away altogether.

Saturday was spent more on eating and shopping, window shopping really, we did buy a few things though. I even got myself this cool looking urrmmm, super duper key chain with an even more super duper powerful LED (gee, I'm beginning to sound like that annoying Spaceman now) or Krypton mini torch light or whatever it was called. To be honest, there really was no reason for buying it except that it looked cool ... LOL! Well, at least now you know you know I spend my paypal money on useless junk ... :D Well, at least I didn't waste it by buying a couple of new pocket watches or anything like that.

We also wanted to catch a movie seeing as how Transformers was the last movie we've been too but there was nothing good showing. Well, nothing good that the kids could watch anyway. The movies we wanted to catch were all rated PL18 so there went that idea. After hanging around at the mall for a couple more hours, we decided to head back and were just too tired to even think of blogging. We even called it an early night, around 11.00pm, I think. Yes, that early! LOL!

The first half of Sunday was pretty harrowing, church wise anyway. All Sunday school children between the ages of 7-10 had to stay back after their classes and attend part of the late morning mass. While I normally would have no problems with this but I was was totally unaware about this, as were a lot of other parents there and the kids had to wait in their classrooms while the mass started and then ushered in halfway through. As to the purpose of this, I sincerely have no blooming idea.

Now, god, if you're by any chance reading my post, please hang on to that lightning bolt you're twirling around in your hands for just a bit longer and hear me out, k? Like I said, I have no issues with this. But these were 7-9 year old restless kids who at that age don't really know what's going and being forced to sit still in classrooms while waiting for the mass was a little too much.

The mass was a late mass, and the kids were hungry and some were crying. I was restless myself so you can imagine the poor kids. I have no issues with all this but they could do it at a much earlier time or maybe when they're a little older and able to understand all this better. It's not like the kids are going to turn in little Lucifer's or something. I just feel a lot of things are being forced on these kids at such an early age that they just might grow up resenting things.

No offense, ok God, I do believe in you and have absolute faith, respect and all that but I think the way some things are done, it's going to turn a lot people away from you. I didn't go through all these when I was in Sunday school and I didn't turn out so bad or I'd like to think so anyway. That's just my humble opinion. Now, let's talk about that lightning bolt you have there ... LOL!

Anyway, that took almost 4 hours in total, can you believe that? We headed home and both wifey and me immediately headed for the bed (and don't you go thinking filthy thoughts, now) We were both totally drained out from all that waiting and standing around that we just had to get some rest. We ended up having a very refreshing 2 hour nap and then headed out for dinner. I wanted to eat at the Hartz all you can eat joint so we headed there and stuffed ourselves silly ... hehehe ...

The weekend just flew by so fast and then Monday came along and I was just so swamped with last minute work that I didn't have time to even log on and check my blog until late at night and by that time I was just too tired to blog and still too traumatized by what I witnessed a little earlier. Well, at least today my schedule looks pretty decent, for now anyway so I can probably blog a little and do some blog hopping and see what I've missed out in the blogging world. So, hang in there guys and I'll be stopping by your blogs in a bit to see what's been happing. Lots of catching up to do cos I've never been a way from blogging for so long. Lets hope it's not a regular thing!
