what isn't there, you couldn't find

my sister was rushing to the office and asked me to kindly pick up the tissue that fell behind the computer.

ok.

so when i went upstairs, i got down on all fours and tried to find the tissue.  well, i couldn't see anything except the floor.  i tilted the bookshelf, nothing.  i peeked through the back, nothing.  i moved the table, nothing.  i lifted the laptop, the mousepad, the wrist rest, the modem, the router, the external drive, nothing!

then i thought maybe she meant my mom's netbook.  i checked under the table, nothing.  i moved the chair, nothing.  i lifted the netbook, the calendar, the organizers, the phones, the answering machine, nothing!

where on earth did that tissue fall?!  wherever, i thought we all could live with some litter in our lives so i dropped the search.

when my sister arrived, i asked her what sort of tissue she was asking me to get, is it a small piece, a roll, what?

well, my sister dear went:  'oh, i've gotten it.  i went back with an umbrella and  pushed it out.'

me:  'whaaat???!!!  you didn't even tell me!  i was down on all fours looking for said tissue!!!'

sister:  'aw, sorry.  maybe i should have left a small piece so you would have found something.'

eh?!

what could have been

mom telling dad about this stock she sold...

dad:  'how much did you earn?'

mom:  '<this much>...  but had i sold it earlier my yield would have been higher...'

uhm, it's the same old story...  ; )

desiring what you couldn't have

rainy morning...

i thought maybe it would be nice to have some hot choco...  well, there was hot choco and i felt i didn't want it really...

my thoughts shifted to champorado...  maybe 'twould be nice to have champorado...  well, there were ingredients for champorado and i didn't feel like going to the kitchen...

then lucky me pancit canton came to mind...  yes, 'twould be nice to have some lucky me instant noodles, the extra hot chili flavor...  ta-daaan...  there's none in my parents' pantry!  guess what, suddenly i was craving it oh sooo bad!!!

ugh!  that which is not available seems most desirable...

safe

sister:  'where's my shorts?  ooops... or should that be, 'where are my shorts?'?'

me:  'just say, 'i can't find my shorts!''

nyahaha...  toinks!!!  ; p

association

when i'm having siomai, hopia comes to mind...
