This was how this day went:

It started awful. As I was in a hurry preparing for work, I slipped and fell inside my room and I hit my head on the closet;

Commuting was not that easy-peasy today. I found myself inside a jeepney rumaging for a vacant seat but after the driver realizes that his jeep has already met the headcount, I found myself alighting the vehicle;

Lastly, the lipstick that I've been using is now dead;it accidentally fell down the toilet and I did not bother to fish it.

Mishaps. To think that today is just Monday and here I am enduring the ache from my waist down because of that fall this morning.

When a man loves a woman,
He can't keep his mind on nothin' else
He'd trade the world
For a good thing he's found.

Regardless of the busy workweek that I had in the office, I was able to drop by the nearby chapel just across the street for some quiet moments. Incidentally, it was also on this week that the relics of Blessed John Paul II was brought to the chapel for an exhibit. The Holy Family Chapel will now be Blessed John Paul II Parish, thus some special pieces are exhibited to the public.

The first rain on the first of May;
A Christmas carol on a summer played
George Michael sang about a love lost last Christmas
On a scorching March that was three months passed.

And who would have thought that on the first of May
The rain just comes on one summer day
A surprise from the heavens that no one were to expect
Like a sign that no one could ever neglect.

And while all these things come all too sudden
I too am busy on contemplating
About lawyers, laws, jargons and terms others could not recall
Why am I in here in the first place at all?

Whilst I couldn't decode the real answer
A part of me is still as splendid as ever
Then a friend would say, "I guess a lawyer could be the one who is destined
Of your respect, kindness and a heart that is full of love to keep.

Well, if only those phenomenons, just mean some signs
And this friend's prediction would hopefully become true likewise
When it camps to my head at any point of day
A happy smile just crosses my face and my heart anyway.

Despite the awful summer heat, it's good that people still are that mindful about grooming and smelling good. Back in the office, the scent of different perfumes are enough to make me feel good. I used to have a seatmate who, I guess is that vain (in a positive manner, ha) because he never fails to turn heads because he smells good.

 Growing up, I was never a huge fan of perfumes. I only had such fondness when I finally went to college. Calgon Cool Sunshower was the first scent that won me over. Then there was Victoria's Secret Love Spell, Pure Seduction and now, I have Calgon Marshmallow. These days, while I have Calvin Klein Eternity Moment in my closet, it's either Calgon Marshmallow or Victoria's Secret Love Spell that I bring with me in my tote bag. I love the sweet scent of marshmallows in my skin (minus the ants) and the refreshing scent of peach and white jasmine from Love Spell. I use them alternately, of course.


Scents likewise are helpful in distracting me from this ungodly summer heat. And one of my favorite is that or strawberries. It's luscious smell instantly livens up my senses. And as luck would have it, I found these strawberry shower gels in Watson's days ago. And because yesterday was payday, I decided to grab one, luckily, it's in their promo so I got another bottle at no extra cost (yup, buy one take one deal!).

The scent is really good --even awesome. It feels as if I am slathering fresh, mashed berries on my skin; and maybe it indeed is; because the product itself has these little strawberry seeds in it.

I had tried to use it last night and need I say more? I got my money's worth and I need not travel up to Baguio to experience strawberries for I have it in the comfort of my own home. I can even smell it in my skin long after.
