   Caught in a web of lies Favorite Quotes:
Vincent: I have no fear of death. It just means dreaming in silence. A dream that lasts for eternity.
Spike: [sarcastically] You're an original, aren't you?

Faye: Da*n it! Moro** don't learn until they die!
Swimming Bird: This blue eye perceives all things conjoined. The past, the future, and the present. Everything flows and all is connected. This eye is not merely seen reality. It is touching the truth. Open the eye of truth... There is nothing to fear.
Vincent: Is there an indelible line dividing sanity from insanity... Or do they change, one into the other at the slightest change of events? We'll find out soon enough. If the world itself is insane.

Sept is the month to remember granny passing away peacefully a year after grandpa got his wish. Peacefully not knowing the whole story of what was really going on and I suppose you never will. Maybe you're watching over us. If you are, please keep an eye on the kiddos when I'm not around.
Years before his dying days he kept uttering "I'm done". Many times I cried myself to sleep as a child in those years with every angina attack he had and he went through a few heart surgeries in a desperate attempt to keep him alive for just a little longer.
Thanks for giving me that chance to meet papa figure, spending any chance with him and to get to know him a bit. Few people had the patience for him, not even his family. Being with you two taught me to have a little bit more patience to work with older people as soon as I'd the chance to be employed.
Mind you, there are a few exceptions of aged persons who really wear my patience thin, the ones who are demanding and think because they're old you've to respect them whether or not they behave accordingly. Well neither of you were remotely like this and my other lolo and lola act differently like young folks, so I didn't really know how other aged people behaved usually until I met you.
Gran, I was shocked how illness could drastically change your ability to move and live a normal life and also taking a toll on your womanly figure of size 16 wasting away down to an emaciated figure of 6 stone. I miss the days I could sleep over and you made suppers and we could spend time together doing many things. I didn't know suppers existed before bedtime until I met you. You're the first who made me enjoy food.  Each meal you gave me food you gently said "You're at your granny's, eat up, you're a growing girl". It's kind of a joke when I think back now when I grew quickly and stopped growing pretty soon. If anything with age, I can only grow wider or thinner.
If I was older I could've driven you to trips around other parts of the world and would've bought you a ticket back to your dream home, Australia knowing how much it meant to you.
Thanks for having discipline, good ears to hear, ability to teach useful things like how to put the duvet neatly on the bed and have a sound judgement. Through your experience as a parent to two rebellious son and daughter, you were able to understand that I wasn't such a bad young person compared to what you've gone through.
Regarding AUS, your sister, the teacher, one of the few siblings you swapped your life and career for is coming to return this week and is coaxing us to meet up with the rest of your relatives. I'd like to see her again, but I may have to go by myself if the family won't come coz of their random excuses.
Your sister Esther has always been generous for special occasions. The last time she was here, she gave an invite to stay over their house. I'm not sure if she really meant it or she was just being polite, but it's comforting to think there's a place to stay somewhere new. However, I'd be a bit nervous when I've never met your nieces yet in person.
Thank you so much for being my confidant,
for sharing true love,
for teaching me who to trust with my heart and mind,
for setting aside something for us in the future,
for showing your approval for being with the man you felt I was more suited with and letting me find out myself and correct any errors myself,
for adopting me into your lives right away from the far corner of world and accepting me, for me and not under the illusion of anyone else, but____
We may not share the same blood, but you touched me in other ways that you didn't know how.
I'll make you proud as much as I can.
Belated grandparent's day to you
Missing you so much,
Remembering you,
Lots and love of love for you both
You both deserve every piece of it,
your grandchild and grandchildren

What do you think it means?
Do I understand it clear as mud?  
Is it like the following scenarios?
You know not only old women have cellulite.
Slender women may have slimmer chances of getting it, but they do have it nonetheless.
Have you heard of those who are thin, but are actually fat inside?
My new classmate says she doesn't normally eat breakfast and forgets about lunch also.
"I'm fat anyway", she says.
I look at her twice in disbelief.
What the h3ll is he talking about?
Phat or FAT?
After a close inspection...checking out another girl.
She's got to be kidding, right?
She's a typical slim Asian Chinese girl with pale complexion like lil' sis, except sis has the sense to see she ain't fat.
In fact, she's trying to fatten herself up to shut those young mean girls who are a pain in her butt that are supposed to be her friends from calling her names like skinny @ school.
What do they expect?
She's after all from a family who are thin.
Besides the meanest of them- the ogre girl is the shortest and podgy.
Is it just in her mind like my best f who thinks the same only because it's been drummed into her head day in and out by someone else, terrified of turning out like the rest of her family?
Don't they know it's attractive to be big and bootiful in countries where it implies that they're wealthy when they can eat so much food compared to the rest of the starving inhabitants of their nations?
Ah to be pale and beautiful.
It's been most desirable since the day of Eve.
It's rather funny to see fair skinned women enjoy sunbathing themselves nowadays in a desperate attempt to get a tan for that "healthy glow".
Back in the olden days, being tanned would've been associated with working class citizens who have been working hard and look a bit rough under the sun.
I'm not beautiful S says.
She doesn't think she'll ever have a boyfriend to ask her out.
I beg to disagree dearest, you just are gorgeous, no matter what anybody else thinks.
You could well be in my eyes the next beauty princess.
There will always be ones who are quicker, fresher, newer, older, slower, rosier, wealthier, poorer, sadder, nuttier, angrier, weirder, smaller, bigger, taller, meaner, uglier, fairer, prettier, better, browner, blacker, worst than us.
Be happy with ourselves.
Some people and situations beyond our control aren't really worth getting annoyed about. instead
Stand up and be counted as yourself when it is within your control.
Don't always have to depend on someone else to defend you.

Before I went away this had me laughing.
I'll give a short update later of what happened during the weekend for anyone who asked. 
The new priest was so nervous at his first mass, he could hardly speak. Before his second appearance in the pulpit, he asked the Monsignor how he could relax. The Monsignor said, "Next Sunday, it may help if you put some vodka in the water pitcher. After a few sips everything should go smoothly."
The next Sunday the new priest put the suggestion into practice and was able to talk up a storm. He felt great! However, upon returning to the rectory he found a not from the Monsignor:
Dear Father,
1. Next time SIP, rather than gulp.
2. There 10 commandments, not 12.
3. There are 12 disciples, not 10.
4. We do not refer to the Cross as the "Big T".
5. The recommended grace before meals is not "Rub-a-dub-dub, thanks for the grub. Yeah God!".
6. We do not refer our Savior, Jesus Christ and his Apostles as "J.C. and the boys."
7. David slew Goliath, he did not "Kick the sh!t3 out of them".
8. Moses parted the water at the Red Sea, he didn't pass water.
9. We don't refer to Judas as "El Finko".
10. The Pope is consecrated, not castrated, and we don't refer to him as "The Godfather".
11. When Jesus broke the bread at the Last Supper, he said, "Take this and eat it, for it is my body," he did not say, "Eat me".
12. David was hit by a rock and knocked of his donkey, he wasn't "stoned off his azz".
13. The Father, Son and the Holy Ghost are never referred to as "Big Daddy, Junior and the Spook".
14. It is always the Virgin Mary, never "Mary with the Cherry".
15. Last but not least, next Wednesday there will be a Taffy Pulling contest at St. Peter's, not a Peter-pulling contest at St. Taffy's.
The last post had a pic. Unsure if it came out. Hoping this will....
