MURPHY'S LAW

share and share alike i say...i first read this at the waiting room of dr. lapus -- the family opthalmologist. i'm not sure how relevant that information is -- just thought i had to say something by way of introduction.

MURPHY'S LAW
1. Anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
2. You will always find something in the last place you look.
3. No matter how long or how hard you shop for an item, after you've bought it, it will be on sale somewhere cheaper.
4. The other line always moves faster.
5. In order to get a loan, you must first prove you don't need it.
6. Anything you try to fix will take longer and cost you more than you thought.
7. If you fool around with a thing for very long you will screw it up.
8. If it jams - force it. If it breaks, it needed replacing anyway.
9. When a broken appliance is demonstrated for the repairman, it will work perfectly.
10. Build a system that even a fool can use, and only a fool will use it.
11. Everyone has a scheme for getting rich that will not work.
12. In any hierarchy, each individual rises to his own level of incompetence, and then remains there. - I especially love this one!
13. There's never time to do it right, but there's always time to do it over.

Murphy's law and Other Observations
  1. If anything can go wrong, it will.
  2. If there is a possibility of several things going wrong, the one that will cause the most damage will be the first one to go wrong.
  3. If anything just cannot go wrong, it will anyway.
  4. If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which something can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way, unprepared for, will promptly develop.
  5. Left to themselves, things tend to go from bad to worse.
  6. If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.
  7. Nature always sides with the hidden flaw.
  8. Mother nature is a bitch.
  • O'Toole's Commentary on Murphy's Laws
    Murphy was an optimist.
  • Ginsberg's Theorems
    You can't win.
    You can't break even.
    You can't even quit the game.
  • Forsyth's Second Corollary to Murphy's Laws
    Just when you see the light at the end of the tunnel, the roof caves in.
  • Weiler's Law
    Nothing is impossible for the man who doesn't have to do it himself.

you gotta hand it to the guy -- whoever the heck he is -- bless you for seeing the humor in life!

here comes the bride...

my friend gina, got married over the weekend and i have to say it was a beautiful wedding. it was the couple who planned for everything -- from the invitations, to the flowers, to the venue, to the tokens for the guests -- everything! it was very well organized -- there were a few close calls but otherwise just perfect. we were honored (and i use that term very loosely) to help coordinate on the day itself and although it was nerve wracking and tiring (running around in heels is not my idea of fun!) not to mention the fact that we had to be up at an ungodly hour because the wedding was to be at 7 in the morning!!! -- it was well worth it though. here are a few of the pictures: the heroes of the day! we accept events coordination for KBL (kasal, binyag at libing)!

old friends

i was browsing through the web one day (just like any other day) when i clicked on a link that looked promising. i saw a familiar name so i called the no. listed (which was an overseas no. but what the heck!) and to make a long story short i found my old college friend. i was sooo excited! it was like my birthday and christmas rolled into one. unbelievable! and when i finally got to talk to her it was as if it was just yesterday when we saw each other last. we've set up a date so looking forward to that.
