Better-half and I has been watching this storm developing and about to hit the Philippines again. And I still have it running on my computer right now. If only I could do something... I hope though that those who are in the area where this is forecasted to hit most are ready.

All I can do right now is pray...

This one or That one?

Nothing much to do today. I'm home alone co'z better-half is at work. Have a lot of to do's in my mind but I can't get myself up to do any of it! I know it sounds silly, but it's just one of those days that I really don't feel like doing something except, sit on our recliner while watching teevee, have the laptop on my lap and browse the internet. A very lazy day for me.

Anyway, while my eyes are on teevee, I caught a glimpse of my dream car. Again. A bmw z4. I know it's expensive. It's going to be a luxury for us. But I believe that if you want it, there's always a way. Hopefully 3 or 5 years more I can buy it myself :). But still, I'm not sure if it's going to be the one since better-half is dreaming of a corvette. If only I can convince him to agree with me...

I don't agree with him because I feel like I will be required to wear a leather costume in order to drive one of those. It's too sporty for me. And if I wanted to be that sporty, I'd rather drive a honda shadow 750. It's cheaper. I can have it built according to my specifications at a lower cost. Especially nowadays, there are a lot of sites that offers brand names up to 60% off.

Oh well...we'll see what we can agree with in coming days.

fRee: Numbers please?

Yep, I'm one of those who wants to try their luck with numbers...

and wishes that somebody would whisper the right numbers to my ears for free!

UpsideDown: fun, fun, fun

Yep.... You are seeing it right. That's how it should be when everything is clean. And it also means that it's ready for the next round of fun! :)

Scared...

This story scared the heck out of me! Very tragic. My prayers goes out to her family, friends and acquaintances... I hope they'll find the bad guy soon and may he rot in jail!

How long has it been?

nearly 2 months? Yeah. Almost 2 months since the last time I was here. A lot have happened and been done.

And....it makes me feel good! :)

So... we did a lot of bowling. Oh, probably not a lot like how pros do it. But you know what, I am getting better at it. For the first time in my life, I scored above 170! Yipeeeyayyyow! :)

But wait, I scored higher than that... I broke 200 in one of our sessions! Bravoooo to me! He.He.He.

As far as I can remember when I was in Manila, the highest score I had was 156. And here I am after 5 years, a 50 pts increase. Does that mean I might be able to perfect the game after 10 more years? Hmmm... But I have to hand it to this bottle for keeping my score high and beating my Better-Half :)

Yep. He actually kept me in the game eventhough I didn't care less if my trusty 12pounder get into the gutter or straight right to the pins. It just surprises me everytime pins go down without me trying so darn hard. So I guess that's how you do it.

We also did a lot of not-so-short-road-trips. That's why after 2 years my little car-car reached more than 26K miles now. (Will post more about this when our desktop comes back from the doctor-that's where I uploaded our pics)

Also, since we've been here, I have already attended 4 baby showers! And it's only been 2 years! I did the invitation of the last one and the cake looks just like it! Makes me think that this might be my fall-on-to-job--invitation maker! :) I wonder who's going to be next...

This is the cake...

This is the original invitation...

And last but not the least, I got new wires for the 2nd time around. This will be for another 24months...

I hope that after my Orthodoc take this off, I will listen to what he tells me --wear your retainer! :)

It is what it is...

Yes. It is what it is -- is what I usually hear from my boss whenever he disagrees about something, but he can't do anything about it since it was already approved by somebody higher in the org chart :)

Anyway, most of you may not know it yet... I lost one of my elder sister to breast cancer in January, right after we got into the hospital where she was checked in. It was the most painfull scene I have ever witnessed. I was by her bedside until her last breath. Until now, everything is still fresh in my mind. If I only have the power...

It was one of the reasons why I don't feel like writing for a couple of months. Everytime the scene comes to my mind, it just hurt. So bad. But I think it won't stop not until I write about it. So here I am. I hope it will ease the pain a little...and I will slowly learn to let go...

And accept that it is what it is...

Happy Easter!

Hope everybody is having a VERY VERY HAPPY EASTER!

and I'm ON again...

Hi everyone! I'm back! Wondering where I've been? Not too far away... It's just that there have been a lot of things going on in the family. Some are good. Some were not too good. But I think life's like that. It's full of surprises.

Well, I'm glad to be back and I hope something will inspire me to write more...

:)
