Times when I wish life had a Ctrl+F

by

When I need a particular quote and I can’t remember which book I read it in.
When I can’t remember where I put my pen.
When I’m not wearing my glasses and can’t find my them.
When I’m trying to remember the title of the song that’s stuck in my head.
When I can’t find my other slipper.

What about you?

    When I meet someone again but can’t remember his or her name, especially so if I’m with a friend and cannot make any introductions.

    Those make for quite awkward moments ‘no!!!

    hmm, it’s easier if it’s my phone i can’t find because i can always ring it up with my landline. but the problem and the frustration comes….

    …when i can’t find the housekeys and i need to go out.
    …i can’t find my envelope pattern and i have some orders to fill.
    …i can’t find find my elusive pencil and i have to quickly write something.

    i’ve always wished everything has a number that i can just ring. and now, yes, ctrl+f too 😉

    when i can’t find something am looking for
    like a receipt
    my passport
    a magazine article
    a file
    a particular picture
    a particular digiscrapping element
    a particular top that I want my son to wear
    the pair of my son’s sock

    delishs last blog post..Get White, Mom

    Sana nga may Ctrl+F! That lost half of a pair of socks can cause quite a headache too!

    those and more. Life really sucks when i couldn’t find my eyeglasses anywhere and after looking for it for hours, sit on a chair out of exhaustion and realize it’s on my head!

    That is CLASSIC Tito Rolls!!!

    i can so relate with finding a quote in a book. sometimes I just can’t seem to find the exact page in a book and i have to browse through each page.

    What is Control F? hahahah, sorry, Mac user kasi…

    Which sometimes frustrates me as I’ve been a PC user for 80% of my life :)
    and also when I receive an attachment in Excel and Word and I can’t edit them kasi nga- Mac ako :)

    Hehehe I was wondering nga if Mac users would know! 😀

    Its so hard to find things in the bag..its all messed up kasi. Now, I have a key holder that hangs in my bag. So most of the time, I lose the cell phone.

    At home, slippers and pens are always elusive when you’re looking for them.

    Leahs last blog post..Happy 2nd year munimuni

    I so need a Ctrl+F for my bag too!

    Like Cookie, I’m great with faces but I’m terrible with names. I need this function to help me when it comes to recalling names.

    That would be useful for me too!
