Right. There is a raging thunderstorm outside. A strong, angry, powerful thunderstorm. And as heavy sheets of rain continue to pound heavily on the roof, the noise drowns my foggy mind as I struggled further to give light and meaning to my current emotional dilemma. I sat by the window in my third floor office and watched as the wildness went on outside. And while the thunderstorm unleashed its power, another thunderstorm continues to rage somewhere, deep in the tiniest spaces of my mind.
I watched the rain as it raged on. I watched as water poured in a rush from above in a fitful state, somewhat frenzied, like shattered glass. And like the soil below now soft because of the rain, I gave in. I let the overwhelming power rage on inside. I acquiesced to it. And it felt good. It felt good to give in. It felt good to have a finality, a conviction, an end. A surrender. It felt good to be free. Liberated, at last.
Outside, the skies began to clear, bringing the thunderstorm to a halt. It's funny how abruptly it stopped as wildly as it started. Then again, little droplets of rain continued to fall.

tonight i yearn to be with you.
tonight i yearn to be with you once again.
tonight...
i yearn to gaze into your eyes and peer into your soul
i yearn to hold your hands in mine and find strength in them
tonight i yearn to be with you again.
tonight...
i yearn to bury my face in the softness of your hair
i yearn to kiss you and hold you in my arms
tonight i yearn to be with you again.
tonight...
i yearn to feel your touch as i hold your body close to mine
i yearn to feel the fire in my fingertips as i caress you
i yearn to be one with you over and over again
tonight i yearn to be with you again...

I'm really crazy about trucks now, especially little, small firetrucks. Here are my most recent "acquisitions", products of my recent weekend trip to the mall.
And here's a Cararama Land Rover Fire and Rescue Service. It comes with an acrylic case. So nice.
Here's a most coveted Takara Tomy ChoroQ No. 42. It's such a beauty.

And here's a MatchBox Ladder Kings. I'm so tempted to open the blister pack!!!

Finally. After more than two weeks of hiatus, here are a few updates on my collections.
I got a new elephant from my friend Janeth. It measures .75" tall and 1.25" long. Janeth said it's from Thailand and is made of brass. (She also told me it's a pasalubong from his boss. Hehehe.)
I got new trucks, too! I got a 1978 Tomy #12 Toyota Forklift FD200, two variants of Tomy #53 (Nissan Diesel Mixers), a Terex 72-81 Loader (#118), an Isuzu Elf Aerial Platform (#70), two Komatsus: a Motor Grader (#24) and a Power Shovel PC200 Galeo (#9).

This Toyota forklift is my current favorite. Ang ganda nya!
I got two variants of the same Tomy line for the first time with these two #53s.
When Noel came home last week from his Kuala Lumpur trip, he gave me a wine stirrer from his KL hotel (Armada Hotel) and two Coca-Cola cans from KL and Singapore.
The Vanilla Coke can is from Singapore (my second Singapore can), while the Coke Light is from Malaysia.
Then Popen came home from his US vacation and brought me three shotglasses and one Hard Rock Café shooter. He also bought me Pilot G2 sets and BIC Velocity pens.
Whee! I got two US shotglasses, Washington DC and New York. The one with the car detail is a NASCAR shotglass.
Then he bought me a Hard Rock Café shooter from HRC New York, which brings my HRC shooters to three. The other two are from Singapore and Makati. The one from Singapore is also from Popen, and we were together when we bought our HRC Makati shooters.
I have more G2s now, and a set of BIC Velocity ballpens.
Hala. It really felt like Christmas last week. I came home Wednesday afternoon with a large bag full of gifts. It's truly a blessing (and a gift) to have very, very good friends (like I have) who:
- does not mind parting with their precious items just so my collection will get a new addition;
- does not mind lugging along empty Coca-Cola cans and fragile shotglasses
- is okay with nicking hotel wine stirrers just so I'll be happy.
Janeth, Noel, and Popen, thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
