"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain

Empty-nest syndrome

Monday, June 29, 2009

Whew! What a weekend!

With my sister’s wedding last week, it has been a flurry of activities extending up to just this weekend! Since she and her husband left for their new “home,” my other sister and I have been busty exchanging and fixing our rooms, thowing what was not needed anymore, giving away what was still usable, and making sure our rooms were habitable.

When someone leaves the house, the house becomes spacier, the clutter lessens, and the room brightens because of the sudden increase in floor space. I’m realizing we don’t need a home alarm anymore since our appliances and furniture are down to a bare minimum!

On the other hand, our hearts are gloomier and it feels like a part of us has gone away. Even Wendy feels sad that “Tita Li will no longer be sleeping in our house.” Ours is really a happy family, and the departure of one leaves a hole in each one of us. Imagine, for 26 years, my sister has lived with us in the same house, and for 23 years, she and I [plus our other sister] have been sleeping in the same room! Now, wala na! Loneliness creeps in when we remember the funs and busy times! Minus 1 family member again…This is what they must call the empty-nest syndrome [although the “nest” is not yet empty]. I can see it in my sister’s eyes, in my daughter’s eyes, and in my mother’s eyes. Aaahhh…the downside ot a close-knit family.

But I guess I would have to deal with that. And besides, the newlyweds live just a village away! He! He!

King of computer-related stuff?

If there’s one more store [aside from baking and crafts stores] I avoid going to because I usually spend more than what I intend to, it’s CD-R King.

They sell so many computer- and techie-related stuff, from CDs to USBs to speakers to memory cards to keyboard protectors! They even have those digital frames! Kulang na lang desktops!

The best thing? Their products are cheap. The quality is not that great though, pero pwede na. Kaya naman when I go to their store and see all the stuff, ayun, napapabili na. I have to buy 5 pieces of blank CDs. But oohhh…I might as well buy that cute mouse, and why not add that laptop fan? Oh, and I have to change my memory card! Aaaarrghhh!

The worst thing? Their service is soooooo inefficient and slow! I don’t know if it’s deliberate, but everytime I go to their store, I have to wait 20 minutes to buy 5 pieces of CD! Hay naku!

In the end, though, whenever we need cheap computer products, CD-R King is where we go to!
