Surprise Birthday Greetings
This is assuming he doesn't read my blog, which is a safe assumption considering he might not have the time for it.
It’s Fr. Steve Tynan’s 39th birthday on December 2, 2004. He’s spending it in the Philippines for the first time in years. If he has touched your life in any way, please tell him about it.
You may send your greetings and honorings by emailing frsteve_tynan@yahoo.com. We will give him the username and password, plus printout the greetings, by December 1, that’s next Wednesday. At least through our e-mails, he may celebrate his birthday Lingkod/Pinoy-style. Please feel free to inform the other communities he’s involved in (Elim, Light of Jesus, He Cares, St. Peter’s Parish, Don Antonio/Don Enrique sub-parishes, etc.) about his birthday and the email address to send greetings to. We would post his cellphone number too but he might kill us for it…

Ella McBeal
I miss her, the first few seasons' version of her! I used to call myself EllaMcBeal when I was a law student. :)) That's no longer who I am. I don't know, maybe ever since Billy died, I lost interest in the show.
Sometimes I wonder if Billy really died. I don't think Ally ever let him. She should have. Since I didn't watch the last season, I don't know what actually went on and if there was closure there for her.
This blog is soo serious sometimes. I'm not like this in real life. :)

Falling in Love
Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way.
What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you will spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude.
Fall in love, stay in love and it will decide everything.

Headaches and Coffee
I'm a coffee addict and when I fail to take in caffein in the morning, I get a headache. I am prone to migraine and guess what one of my migraine triggers is - you've got it: coffee! So whether I drink coffee or not, I get a headache. Might as well enjoy the taste, the aroma, and the lifestyle that goes with a cup, right?
Unfortunately, I also discovered late in life that I have vertigo. Guess what triggers vertigo for me? My doctors said I should avoid cheese, chocolates, stress, sleeplessness, and, woe to me, coffee! There was a change of lifestyle required there that I wasn't so prepared to embrace.
I obeyed my doctors for a whole three months. One afternoon, however, I could neither make heads nor tails in the transcript I was reading in the office because my insomnia attacked that week, meaning I was surviving on two to three hours of sleep and suffering for it. I went to the pantry and saw Taster's Choice beckoning to me. I gave in and made myself a dark cup of instant coffee.
No sooner had I downed the mugful of caffein when I palpitated. I checked, it wasn't my heart beating strongly for someone, it was a physical reaction to drinking what was forbidden! My hands started shaking and I could feel dizziness kicking in. When my officemates saw me, they swore never to let me touch coffee again. When vertigo strikes, I cannot move even my head without feeling like the whole world is spinning. I can't even send text messages because the letters on my phone keypad don't make sense to me. I learned my lesson the hard way.
I found a compromise. I can drink one cup of coffee in the morning without palpitating. If I get enough sleep at night, I should be ok. Now I just look at Starbucks, Gloria Jeans, Mocha Blends, Figaro, Seattle's Best and San Francisco Coffee House with longing. I still frequent these places but settle for second best - their decaffeinated varieties.
There are a hundred other causes for my headaches these days, but I try to be a good girl. I now take coffee breaks without coffee.
