we find it odd that stuff we like always gets discontinued. are we just into weird? the moments of hesitation in acquiring seem to be devious triggers for goodbyes. and oh, the after-pain of disappointment. and maybe worse, the after-misery of finding or fashioning to replace at high cost. where is the line drawn between instant indulgence and gratification vs. sensible practicality? or shall we just cultivate different taste? nah.
last weekend found us many places with a spectrum of characters.
it's funny how everyone's suddenly getting a mac now. couldn't possibly have convinced some even a year or two ago. all in the perception and image. anyway, more power to apple. we've always loved you... for you. not for the fad you've become. :P so, the long awaited iphone debut hovers near. as in tomorrow. will we or will we not? an agonizing debate it's been for the ong's. ha. such angst. in this case, though, shortage will be the story (vs. discontinuation).
just had dinner with one of yuee's aunts from singapore who's doing amazing work to empower women. and grace's cousin from taiwan is in town. took a 3-month leave of absence for texas. and another reason. :) welcome, relatives.
