The World According to Divajoni

Wow! I've been to Taiwan twice since my last posting... in fact, that is where I am now. I will be going to Singapore and Hong Kong in a couple of days... it will be good to be back in my old stomping grounds again!

My condo is wonderful... my mom & Auntie Char visited me last month and helped me plant a patio garden. I think I will be taking a page from the movie "28 Days"... that is, to keep the garden alive for one year... maybe at that point, I will be ready for another relationship. Speaking of which, I still cry over Matt... ridiculous, huh!

It has been such a strange experience to lose a man I cared for deeply and every single friend we had in common (guess they weren't really friends), to be estranged from my son, to lose my best friend in Australia, and to lose my job within 6 months.

Fortunately, I have been supported by some old friends (Nick & Denise) and some new friends (Jim & Vanessa).... so what I lost in quantity has certainly been made up by quality. My job is great... I am in a place where my skills are respected and appreciated... not to mention that our company is in head to head competition with my old employer... life has a funny way of working out!

On another happy note, my pool game has improved! My 9-Ball team (appropriately named "Hair of the Dog") won 2nd place in APA's Summer Blast. Next weekend we will be playing in the City Championships... at stake is not only the prize money, but also a qualifying position to play in the National Championships in Vegas. Lately, if I am not working... I am playing pool!

My daughter, Jenny, is doing well... she is expecting her 2nd son in July. Unfortunately, her husband, Dan, has been stationed in Iraq since January. Hopefully, he will be able to come home when the baby arrives. She has a great attitude... amazing considering her situation... and did I mention that she was also attending community college as an honour student... I am very proud of her.

I'm baaaaack! And badder than ever! Not really... my life is relatively boring and after what I have been through over the past few years, I am happy that things have calmed down.

I have officially moved into my brand new condo downtown (right behind the El Cortez)... a lowrise with a highrise view (I have a panoramic view of downtown San Diego). And have finally found an employer that appreciates my skills.

Other news... I am going to Palau over the Thanksgiving holiday... making a business stopover in Taiwan on my way home.

I still miss Matt... I miss his family... I miss our friends... I miss my Qualcomm family... I miss my son most of all. But as they say... what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger.

Sky Fits Heaven
--Madonna

Sky fits heaven so fly it
That's what the prophet said to me
Child fits mother so hold your baby tight
That's what my future could see

Fate fits karma so use it
That's what the wise man said to me
Love fits virtue so hold on to the light
That's what our future will be

Traveling down this road
Watching the signs as I go
I think I'll follow the sun
Isn't everyone just
Traveling down their own road
Watching the signs as they go
I think I'll follow my heart
It's a very good place to start

Traveling down my own road
Watching the signs as I go
Traveling down my own road
And I'm watching the signs as they go

Traveling, traveling
Watching the signs as I go

Hand fits giving so do it
That's what the Gospel said to me
Life fits living so let your judgments go
That's how our future should be

Traveling down my own road
Watching the signs as they go
Traveling down my own road
And I'm watching the signs as I go

Traveling, traveling
Watching the signs as I go

--Liz Phair

You think that I go home at night
Take off my clothes, turn out the lights
But I burn letters that I write
To you, to make you love me


But I drive naked through the park
And run the stop sign in the dark
Stand in the street, yell out my heart
To make, to make you love me


I am extraordinary
If you'd ever get to know me
I am extraordinary
I am just your ordinary, average, everyday, sane, psycho, supergoddess


You may not believe in me
But I believe in you
So I still take the trash out
Does that make you too normal for you?


So dig a little deeper, cause
You still don't get it yet
See me lickin' my lips, need a primitive fix
And I'll make, I'll make you love me


I am extraordinary
If you'd ever get to know me
I am extraordinary
I am just your ordinary, average, everyday, sane, psycho, supergoddess


See me jump through hoops for you
You stand there watching me performing
What exactly do you do?
Have you ever thought it's you that's boring?
Who the hell are you?



I am extraordinary
If you'd ever get to know me
I am extraordinary
I am just your ordinary, average, everyday, sane, psycho, supergoddess

My Heart Will Go On
--Celine Dion

Every night in my dreams I see you, I feel you
That is how I know you go on.
Far across the distance and spaces between us
You have come to show you go on.
Near, far, wherever you are,
I believe that the heart does go on.
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart,
And my heart will go on and on.

Love can touch us one time and last for a lifetime,
And never let go till we're gone.
Love was when I loved you, one true time I hold to
In my life we'll always go on.
Near, far, wherever you are,
I believe that the heart does go on.
Once more you open the door
And you're here in my heart,
And my heart will go on and on.

You're here, there's nothing I fear
And I know that my heart will go on.
We'll stay forever this way,
You are safe in my heart,
And my heart will go on and on.

Thank You for Being a Friend

Andrew Gold

Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down a road and back again
Your heart is true,
You're a pal and a confidant

I'm not ashamed to say
I hope it always will stay this way
My hat is off,
Won't you stand up and take a bow

And if you threw a party
Invited everyone you knew
You would see the biggest gift would be from me
And the card attached would say

If it's a car you lack
I'd surely buy you a Cadillac
Whatever you need
Any time of the day or night

And when we both get older
With walking canes and hair of gray
Have no fear even though it's hard to hear
I will stand real close and say

And when we die
And float away
Into the night
The milky way
You'll hear me call
As we ascend
I'll say your name
Then once again

What I did for love
-- A Chorus Line

Kiss today goodbye,
The sweetness and the sorrow.
Wish me luck the same to you
But I can’t regret
What I did for love, what I did for love

Look, my eyes are dry,
The gift was ours to borrow,
It’s as if we always knew,
And I won’t forget
What I did for love, what I did for love

Gone, love is never gone
As we travel on,
Love’s what we’ll remember!
Kiss today goodbye,
And point me t’ward tomorrow.
We did what we had to do
Won’t forget, can’t regret
What I did for love
What I did for love
Love is never gone

As we travel on,
Love’s what we’ll remember!
Kiss today goodbye
And point me t’ward tomorrow
We did what we had to do
Won’t forget, can’t regret
What I did for love...
What I did for love...
What I did for love...
