marie stopped by our workplace with manuel today. i was really happy to see them; it was a completely unexpected visit. i think about her/him/them all the time, so i thought i was seeing things, when they materialized in front of me unexpectedly.
i really need to learn how to hold manel properly. i'm scared that marie won't let me hold him anymore, if i keep it up. i'm a complete n00b when it comes to babies, but i'm making an honest effort to learn.
it was adorable when he looked up at me just as he was about to cry—when his eyes watered up, and his eyes and the corners of his lips slanted downwards. i held his face gently and urged him not to cry. and he didn't.
three-fourths of the time, when i see him, he's usually napping, but he was wide awake today. it was like he was hungry to absorb this world that is new to him with his eyes.
i love kissing the top of his little baldy head.

i can't believe that malcolm x deleted me off his myspace friends list. i think i'm going to be damaged for life now.
haha.

i'm glad that marie thinks that i'm someone she can go to when she's in need of help, someone she can go to when she needs someone to listen, someone she can let her guard down and cry in front of.
i only wished that i could find more words of comfort for her. all i could do was hold her tight and assure her that everything was going to be alright.
keep your head up, sister.

got a surpising call from eric... from l.a. he had to cut his vacation short by two weeks, for reasons that i won't divulge, obviously. now i'm really regretting not seeing him as much as i could when he was down here—we've only hung out twice during the entire month. we do have our vaction to either new york city or seattle coming up next month (it sounds like everyone's leaning towards seattle all of a sudden), but that's looking kind of bleak at the moment—at least for me. if worse comes to worst, maybe i'll just take a vacation and go down to l.a. sometime later this year.

went down to waikiki after work to pick up my car from marie. i'm pretty bummed because now i don't have an excuse to go see her and immanuel anymore. we did promise to go have a drink together next week, so i guess that's something to look forward to.
