C O L O N Y Ants in my car Lately noticed that I've got ants in my car. Today, when Brandie opened the door, he saw what looked like a colony of ants making a mad scramble to move their food from one part of car to another. There were grains of rice and the ants were moving them to God knows where. Then again, those little white pods could have been eggs. I really need to get my car washed. Radioactive Mirco Office Roaches Our office is infested with this tiny roaches. Not the big brown roaches you usually find at home. But little greyish roaches. The other day I saw one of them enter this crack on the microwave oven. My God... the cockroaches are living inside the microwave oven! Can you imagine what kind of mutation they're undergoing?

If by my death, you mean the punishment that we are to suffer if discovered, I accept that. And if by my death, you mean eternal punishment in the fire of hell, I accept that, too.” Now, that’s big stuff. Joseph Campbell from “ The Power of Myth ”, chapter VII: Tales of Love and Marriage

Keeping it cool Already spent around P6,000 on my car. The engine kept overheating. At first, I though it was the auxiliary fan, which was busted. But after I got it repaired, turned out my waterpump was leaking. So, I got that fixed, but my radiator was clogged with rust. That was my Tuesday. My Saturday was spent getting lost in Quezon City, picking a radiator shop at random, spent three hours there. Thank God I had a copy of the first trade paperback of PREACHER, lent to me by Rachel, one of the accounts people in the office, who turns out to be from the sorority that’s connected to the fraternity that Mike joined when he was in college. Which just goes to show how ridiculously small this city is. Anyway, PREACHER was good read. But according to Dave, the search for God just took too long and that’s why he dropped the series long before the Preacher got close to finding our missing Maker.
