Did you know that I’m a sucker for “koreanovelas”? As much as possible I don’t like to miss an episode shown on TV(I only watch koreanovelas on GMA 7, I’m a certified kapuso). But that’s not my worry anymore since N gifted me with a portable DVD player for christmas. Now I can get to watch it on the player, BUT forgive me, I buy the original pirated copies at Quiapo for only 50 pesos(they say it’s original coz it came from China)…what can I do? I really don’t know where to buy the original copies. When you go to Quiapo, you’ll be overwhelmed by the titles you see, everything is there, from desperate housewives to america’s top model. Just be careful though, keep your eyes and ears open for raids, you might be one of those picked up.
Have you ever experienced being teased by your partners the moment they see you in something they find funny or inappropriate? When N saw me in that headband, he couldn’t stop laughing and started teasing me, sarcastically saying, “oh what a nice piece in your head”. He did it non-stop, even until now, when he remembers it, I still get a teasing. Now I don’t wanna wear it, I can’t take the teasing anymore, it’s just too much. Is there something wrong with the headband? Or it’s me? Oooops, don’t bother to answer, harhar!
Oh dear….when will my internet connection be back to normal? As it is, it takes a hundred years for pages to load, especially blogger. Much as I want to make daily posts, make comments on the blogs I read daily, I just can’t. So if I don’t figure out in your comments section guys, it doesn’t mean that I don’t check on you. I just can’t regularly wake up early, connection is faster in the early mornings, say 5 a.m., and i’m like zzzzzzzzzzzz at that time….okie?
Yay! Finally I was able to get through blogger. Much as I have been wanting to update this blog, I’ve been having problems logging in. They say that it’s gonna take until the 3rd week of January to have the internet connection “normalized”, at least here in the Philippines. It’s really frustrating using the internet nowadays, as it takes forever to load pages…oh well…now that I have connection, I have forgotten what I was suppose to write…hhhhmmmm…Ok…lemme think…yeah…2006 was a pretty good year for me and my family, we’ve moved to our new house, kids did well in their studies, everyone was in pretty good shape, in other words a lot, a whole lot of wonderful blessings to thank the Lord for.
It was also in 2006 that I lost my father…I miss him dearly…I still cry at nights when I remember him…Whenever I see an elderly person who in a way looks like my dad, it breaks my heart. But it gives me relief just thinking that he is gone to be with his Lord and Saviour, away from all the physical sufferrings and pains.
I’ve been angry and disappointed a couple of times, and I have poured out my heart in a couple of rants. Rants that were made controversial by “some” people, unnamed subjects that were named again by “some” people, again “some” people getting interested only in the rants, remembering only those “angry” entries and forgetting all the rest…how ironic can that get?
Blogging has become a part of my everyday life…everything that is written down here is always IMHO…I’ve gained wonderful friendships in my “little space” in cyberspace, I’ve learned a lot just by reading the thoughts put into words by all my favorite links, to the point of rejoicing and even crying with them. Blogging has a positive effect in me and I believe that I have not hurt anyone in the course, because I have not mentioned and will never mention any names and it’s only me and only me who knows who I am talking about. And for some people who wished that I stop blogging, nope it’s not gonna happen. This is my personal space, my personal thoughts, I write what I feel, I keep this blog to have a record of what has happened in my life, happy or sad, wonderful and not so wonderful memories to look back to, something that you can laugh and cry about, something that will make you say, hhhmmmm…LIFE IS INDEED BEAUTIFUL!
These are the two struggles I’m facing right now, and I admit it’s pretty hard. I started smoking fourteen years ago, on the day I married N. It was like…”sweet, can you light me one please?”…until I learned how to light my own. I didn’t like it at first, but just like everyone, I got hooked to it little by little. I’ve had a few attempts at quitting, when I was operated on in the mouth, had severe cough, and if I start catching my breath. But all these lasted for only two weeks, and here I am back to it again. Two days ago, I decided again to quit, I felt that I couldn’t handle the effects of smoking anymore, with just very little activity, I find myself catching my breath, and I get a little dizzy when I start to puff. So this made me decide to try quitting again. Since I started kicking this one bad habit, I might as well kick the other bad habit, that is, sleeping late at night. I normally sleep between 1 or 2 in the morning. I always pinpoint being an insomniac when asked why I sleep that late. But the truth is something is soooo wrong with my body clock and it has adopted to that setting, sleeping at two in the morning and waking up at nine or ten in the morning. It has gotten sooo used to that, that I find it hard to sleep before 12 midnight.
I know I am in the most difficult situation right now…so far I’ve proven myself for two days and still counting **keeps fingers crossed**, I’m positive that I can do all these by God’s grace. Check on me once in a while ok? so I won’t forget =)
My angels finally finished putting christmas lights, after numerous trips to Divisoria to buy additional lights. IMHO, it’s really beautiful, and I’d better watch out for the incoming electric bill…OMG! I have to work on the inside of the house though, coz it looks so plain, not as festive as the one outside. Maybe that would be my project for christmas next year and I’m already excited. I’d start buying/collecting materials maybe next month, so as not to hurt the pocket, rather than buying everything all at once.
The Big Santa Claus I wanted to have finally arrived…we got it at such a cheap/giveaway price, had it repainted and it looks new now. I’d have my picture taken next time so you’ll know how huge it really is.
Nope it isn’t my first traffic violation…but technically it is, coz finally I was issued a ticket, and he took my driver’s license. I have been stopped by traffic aides(MMDA) numerous times for disregarding traffic light, but have always charmed my way out. But last friday on my way to belly class, I was stopped by a policeman for beating the red light. I actually didn’t see the light coz traffic was really so heavy (tail to tail) and I was in a hurry to get to the other side (am running late for belly class). He asked for my license, automatically wrote on the ticket and not minding my explanation. If only he didn’t have a motorcycle parked, I could have pretended not seeing him, coz there was no way he could ran after me…I know i’m a bad citizen…but who’s not? (especially in dealing with law enforcers in the streets manning the traffic…)

Second Grading Exam’s finally over for the kids, and that means less stress for all of us. I can now go back to my usual routine. Isha and her friends went to Greenhills to shop and just chill out. Nope, I didn’t allow her to go with her friends alone, but with a yaya (nanny) in tow. It’s not that i don’t trust her, but these are just bunch of 13 year olds.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don’t usually set up my tree this early, but I got bored and had nothing to do, so I asked my angels to put it out. I did not put tivoli lights this time, all the lights got busted and I don’t want to replace them for now…I have other things in mind on where to spend the moolah…i’m thinking of getting a huge santa clause that I can hang (santa climbing a rope) in the balcony, and that’s gonna be my next project, getting our balcony dressed for christmas.
Since I don’t know how to drive my way around Makati (i know how to get to the malls only), I decided to take the LRT and the bus going to Insular Life. I saved on gas, just spent just a few bucks for our fare, saved a lot on travel time coz of the LRT. I haven’t taken the LRT in ages and was surprised to see that it is still clean, and that there is a separate train for male and female, which is really good. It was a good ride, except that the aircon wasn’t working. The bus ride was ok too, except that we didn’t know that there were loading and unloading zones in Makati. Very surprising too that the drivers were really disciplined…they didn’t let us ride in the unloading zone, to think we were at the foot of the door and there was no traffic police/aide. We had to walk a block away just to be able to get to the loading zone. It was an unexpected wonderful experience, I didn’t get tired at all plus I was given the best JOYRIDE!

I’ve started biking 6 kilometers every other day (except when I’m lazy)!
I’ve downloaded skype in my laptop more than a year ago but didn’t really get to use it until today. I talked with my friend Guigi who’s in the states for about an hour (pc to pc), and it’s really very clear, it was like she was just next door. That made me go into details how skype really works. I couldn’t help but buy 10 euros worth of skype credits to be able to call a landline or a mobile anywhere in the world. I tried it with my sister a couple of minutes back, and know what? We talked for about 27 minutes and i paid like 24 pesos ($0.48), can you believe that? It’s the cheapest by far, and it’s really very clear compared to using a cellphone which can go choppy at times.
I know a lot of you know about skype already, but to those who haven’t downloaded, feel free to do so(click on the logo above), it’s really worth it, i tell you! It’s the cheapest way of keeping in touch with friends and loved ones who are abroad, and it gets pretty exciting hearing their voice and all.
