Today's All-Time Low

Unlike a week ago, today is a bit more somber and less action-packed. Let me count the ways.

1. First of all, the weather is cloudy and rainy, which immediately dampens any sunny disposition.

2. I woke up at 6:30am to attend this 8am CRM dialogue in downtown, but was too sleepy and slow that I did not get a chance to eat proper breakfast (a piece of bagel with cream cheese). To think I went for the free food. Not really. It was interesting to listen to CRM experts from Citigroup, Harte-Hanks, Starwood and Mars.

3. I went to the office and did research about philanthrophy all day online, only to end up talking to my boss about how her husband died 14 years ago. There was so much sorrow and love in her eyes, that it felt like it happened just a week ago. Love still exists in this world, thank goodness.

4. I bought a tuna salad sandwich with fries for lunch. It was the nearest sandwich place I could see and I could not travel far - I could have fainted due to my lack of a proper breakfast.

5. I went home to a quiet and empty apartment, and played whatever's in my CD player: Hale's "Kung Wala Ka" (how depressing). I listen to this as I eat my pathetic tuna salad leftover. Makes me miss home, my big family and our dinner feasts!

But, hey, there are some redeeming factors!

1. My Moto Razr case arrived from Amazon already!

2. I saw 2 Lamborghinis parked inside Grand Central! In the flesh. I could win it for only $1,000 per raffle ticket!

3. I didn't forget my umbrella.

4. Fall is officially here. :)

5. I learned today that despite everything - somber moods, lows, highs, through life and death, Love will stay on earth.
