Times when I wish life had a Ctrl+F



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 ;-)

    odettes last blog post..gentle soul

    Think of all the time we can save when we have this button! We’d get a lot more things done ‘no!

  9. Jeanny Says:

    hahaha…oo nga noh!!!! Hope there’s a ctrl+F when I can’t find…

    my misplace wallet…
    my credit card…
    my slipper…
    my earrings…

    Urghhhh..to many to ctrl+F pala!!!

  12. caryn Says:

    hahaha! i always have this routine when i’m about to leave the house. i always can’t seem to find my keys and train pass when i fully know i saw them a minute before i started looking for them. ano yun, nagtago? hahaha!

    caryns last blog post..street art

    Niloloko ka ata ng keys and train pass mo hehe. Gusto mag-hide and seek!

  13. lady cess Says:

    i so agree with em dy! that always happens to me too! =D

    lady cesss last blog post..From the Supermarket

    Someone should invent a Ctrl+F for real life already!!

  14. delish Says:

    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!

  15. rolly Says:

    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!!!

  16. ayen Says:

    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.

    ayens last blog post..Litratong Pinoy: Pag-iisang Dibdib

    And so much time is wasted ‘no!

  17. Junnie Says:

    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! :D

  18. drunkenlily Says:

    hahaha.. i often wish for Control F too and for Control Z as well!specially when i do or say something that makes me slap my forehead and groan hehe..

    Hahaha, Ctrl+z would be quite handy!

  19. Leah Says:

    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.

    Rach (Heart of Rachel)s last blog post..Missing Dad and Mom

    That would be useful for me too!

  23. wysgal Says:

    If I could have one keyboard shortcut in my life, it would be Ctrl-Z. =)

    Hahaha! I’d like that too!
