sometimes i get worried, trying to figure out if my dad is gng into this whole semi-retired lifestyle. business has been really slow lately, since there are not much imports or exports to speak, my dad comes home at 6pm almost everyday.

now, 6pm is a rarer than rare kind of rarity in the past, partly there are no official working hours in this line and im petty much used to him working really long hours. he used to work every holidays and every weekends. i think he worked too hard all his life, to provide for us. At least, he has the time to rest now and even picking up golf. No wonder i read an article recently, saying that fitness clubs are receiving crowds when no one is busy working their asses off.

but then again, i cant help bt worry abt the extent of this whole economic downturn thing, cos if this is running long term, it might not be too sustainable. afterall, there is only how much u can dig into your pockets before u feel the seams with ur fingertips.

for now, all is still good. still good, to have save up for the rainy days. how cheesy and its so hottt now!

i heard this song on idol and i thought unrequited love can never get sadder than this..



Turn down the lights, turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me, tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize - don't patronize me

Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely hours
I will lay down my heart and Ill feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
cause I can't make you love me, if you don'tI

'll close my eyes, then I wont see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do whats right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fightcause

I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these lonely hoursI
will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
cause I can't make you love me, if you don't
