I saw a recap episode of Oprah talking about women and their anti-aging secrets. Nora Ephron was there. I’ve known Nora Ephron only through her works, which are my favorites: Sleelpless in Seattle, When Harry Met Sally, You’ve Got Mail and Michael. The first three were all starring Meg Ryan, who was one of my favorite actresses, because in her movies you see this perkiness and in-control sort of like a kid kind of way and it gets into you that you want to be around her all the time; that you begin to like her without knowing it, adorable even--that kind of stuff.

Instinctive Love
I was waiting for the company shuttle at a gasoline station this morning. I pulled one of the chairs of the convenient store and sat even without ordering anything. There were only a few chairs so some customers were standing, but they’re really not eating or anything, they were also waiting for something like me. but then something got my attention, seated infront of me was a couple. Judging by their clothes I definitely say she’s a saleslady in SM and he’s a messenger aboard a motorbike. The guy brought with him some puto and kutsinta and the girl bought coffee on styro from the convenient store. Let’s just say they’re not really a pretty couple, though the girl is fair, but the guy…hmmm he’s very dark, short and pimply. Plus he was wearing a red jacket on a hot morning and drinking hot coffee so imagine the sweat trailing down from his hair to his face, and his forehead, now continue imagining the smell J Anyways, seeing that her boyfriend (I say boyfriend because they don’t have wedding rings…but come to think of it, most couples don’t usually keep a wedding ring especially during trying times.) So her boyfriend was sweating like a bull, you know what she did? She wiped the boyfriend’s forehead with her palm (pimples and all), Some may find it yucky and unhygienic but I found it very sweet. Most people doesn’t know the wonders of tissue paper yet, and seeing the sweat trickling down his temples she acted on instinct, on compassion, on caring, and on love.
