today i went to church. not just any church mind you, this church and i have a past. hence i had to walk through the corridors with my bible over my face just in case i met someone i knew whom i'd rather not see. to be honest, it wasn't like they'd really recognise me in the first place so i guess there wasn't that much to worry about but still, better to be safe than sorry.

jaime and i talked about going for a long time in the shop. i remember the day when we started yakking about religion, and it was two p.m. but we had sold nothing at all. i realised that nothing much has changed. we left debating some key points of the sermon, but then again, who are we to question God's plan. if He meant it to happen that way, then it has a part in a bigger picture that we, as myopic as we are, can't see.

escaped unscathed and secretly feeling a twinge of distaste, we escaped to holland v for dinner underneath the pisspots and then to the interestingly named bakerzin for consumption of their desserts while perusing the menu that costs twelve bucks a pop. the menu, not the food, although it comes pretty close.

and on friday we saw machi at phuture. one thing though, they were trying to appear low-key and all, but er, if you don't want people to know you're from a popular music group, don't wear a cap emblazoned starkly with the name of your band lah. then at least then you can pretend to be a dj studying at nyu instead of having people chasing after you when they realise hey it's that guy off the telly! yeah, i suppose i could teach a few lessons in common sense to them famous people, although most others would do a better job, hoho. just a hunch.

yes, the z stands not for zorro, but for zouk.

followed nat and kz down to zouk (again) today just to recce the place and see whether it was worth going. unfortch, it wasn't, so i legged it home. missed the last train (like, how loser) but managed to get a yellow cab within two minutes of uttering a prayer. like, how blessed. no, that's not the prozac speaking, my faith has always been there, just that not many people see it.

and oh my gosh, it's september 11. it's been three years. how the world has changed since then, but then again, i suppose it never really stopped.
