My Little Green-rimmed Mirror

"It's funny," the voice in his head was hazy, "this predicament we're in. We may lead different lives but our lives seem intertwined no matter what we do. Inseparable?"

The memory exited his head, abruptly forced out as he rubbed his eyes. Staring at the monitor on his desk, he pondered on the technological advancements of man, and how a double-bladed sword that can be.

Fast. Everything's fast nowadays. If you're hungry, pop open some instant noodles in hot water and you have a meal (sometimes you get a bonus of some Skyflakes, too). If you're thirsty, an accessible vending machine and a 20-peso bill is all it takes and you have a cold soda. If you want to communicate with someone, key in an SMS message or open up a chat, and distance almost becomes nonexistent.

Now you can take pictures with a hand-held mobile phone. And of course, most of the people who do post them on Friendster or Multiply or Blogspot. I am guilty of that sometimes, too.

Why did you end up like this? Why couldn't you be more of my standards? That will never do. My mom will have a fit seeing you like that! That will never do at all!

I wish I had some Shakey's Hawaiian Delight thin crust right about now.
