Last week of November 2007...

Arrrggghhhh!!! They must be glued to the floor no??? And those boxes have been there since March2006 when NG moved in to his house. We've had issues about his procrastination on more than one occasion. Oh well. Good thing it's not a deal breaker. Hee. I'm not OC clean but I like my stuff to be organized, at least.


Birthday shoutout going to sisterJ. She's 29! Hah! Next year, she'll be 30! In a few years time, my siblings and I will all be in our 30s. Acccck. How we've grown. I'm proud to say, we may not be uber successful in what we do right now but I do know we've tried [and still trying] to make our lives better in our own little ways. A little sacrifice here and there but I know it be best for now. Happy birthday ABSOLUT VODKA GIRL!!!


SisterJ told me this flava will be out in February. In time for my birthday. I love mangoes I hope it tastes as good in vodka.


My cousin mentioned that she wants to visit this place, after researching the place, I too, wants to visit the place. We're planning to go in March when sisterM and NG are here for a visit. I'm saving for it. Seems really peaceful there. Click here to check out pics of the place we're hoping to visit next year. Wanna come with?

Hope the last few days of November will be a good one for you. My weekend is quite busy. Will be seeing some of my grade school batchmates on Friday the 30th [it's another non-working Holiday here] and my EBC friends on Saturday for dinner, might have a VS after. Will see.

Have you done any Christmas shopping? I haven't except for Christmas cards. I didn't have enough time to make them this year. Maybe, next year. Speaking of cards, if you want to receive a Christmassy postcard from me, let me know. Email me your home address and what not. Planning on sending out cards first week of December.

Anyhoo, haven't been here much, rest assured, I've been okay, just been busy. Have a fine day. KEEP THE FAITH! God Bless.

Why They Fight...

I was clueless as to why the Writers Guild of America went on strike. I stumbled on this video and now I understand. Thought I'd share it with you.

Having Friends in my 30s...

We have cable today, for some reason, I chanced upon Oprah, the episode was about women in different backgrounds in their 30s. It was refreshing to see how their lives are. I mean, I'm in my early 30s. To see how different yet the same [in some aspects our lives are]. We value our faith, family and friends. At the end of the show, Oprah asked the audience, what they know now in their 30s that they didn't know in their 20s. One woman answered: that life happens, that you have to make it happen for yourself. You don't have to wait on people to change for what you would like but rather go with the flow and move forward. Another woman said that, now that she's in her 30s, she now know that friends can/does make a difference in one's life.

I agree with what that woman said, it was like, EXACTLY. A friend and I were just chatting about friendships the last time I was online. I told her that at this point in my life, I'm content with the friends I have in my life. I know, I'd still meet more people from here on but I'm not worried about making any more real true friends because I feel that I have them now.

I have re-acquainted with some of my friends from Grade school and it's a good feeling to remember things back when our ages were still a single digit. Hee. We have our own yahoogroup and a Friendster account [21 members since September 2007 is not bad no?]. Just touching base is all.

There's my HS friends whom I've known since I was 12-13 years old. I try to look back sometimes and remember how the friendship started. My HS years was a good one because of the friends I have. We've done a lot of things together. [mostly legal...heee] I know, I may not always agree with all of them but the bottom line is, I KNOW, in times of good and bad, I can count on them and they can on me. [if any of my HS friends reading this one], a few of them even made me God mother to their kids, so, that's a lifetime bond if you ask me. I only have 3 God children and I'm happy to say I've accepted it from one friend to another.

And of course, there are the people I met via K-lite, whom I met around the late 90s. Unexpected friends they are. I never thought I'd be friends with them since we all are of different circles before. But one thing linked us together and I'll always be grateful for that. I know now, I want these people in my life for as long as I can have in this lifetime. I've been through quite a lot with them. I know, I want these people to be around me until I am here.

And I've had my share of losing a few people that I thought or wanted to be my friends. To different reasons. Very shallow when I look back on them. One told my crush that he's my crush and I never talked to her again. CHILDISH yes? I was that way when I was 12. I guess, it's the trust, I told her in confidence and she betrayed that trust. Oh well. Another, also told something about what I told her in confidence. I returned all her letters [which I regret doing now] and cards and never talked to her again. How childish that was. I would never do something that I know I don't want another person to do to me. Luke 6:31.

Right now, I have been thinking about a friend who could be a fair-weathered friend. I am praying, have been praying that friend is not what she seems to be. It's hurtful. It's very saddening. It's like you like to think you know someone but it turns out you don't. I honestly don't know what to do right now. I'm hurt more than anything. I've asked NG about it, and he said, take it as it comes, just decide when the moment comes. I guess, that's what I'm gonna be doing. Just decide in the moment. Because if I decide right now, I'm losing a friend. SIGH.

Anyhoo, been meaning to blog for weeks now, and now I've done it. Hee. It's the almost the mid of the month. How time flies no? Christmas time is around the corner. I don't think I can make my Christmas cards this year. Sigh. I should have planned on it, like I should have started when the BER months rolled in. Oh well. There's always the next year. I like making my cards even if I'm not that artistic. I like spending time in making a list of the people I'd give cards to. Must go back to bed for now. God Bless.

McDreamy...

Blogged Out...

HUMMINA, HUMMINA, HUMMINA!!! Want to have this. Haven't found it yet. Maybe, this weekend.


Baby shower for one of my HS friends and pre-Halloween dinner. It was a good turn out. Only a few missed it. Even if most of my friends arrived way past over the 3pm call time, we still had fun. Laughed a lot. Played Taboo and Charades. I'll see them again in December for our yearly Christmas get-together.


Met a few of my Grade school friends and our former teacher for a late lunch last Monday. We tried and sometimes was successful in remembering people and events back in our Grade school days. We'll meet again mid of this month. Yay. All good.


Nadine and me...she's growing up so fast.

Been trying to come up with an entry for some time now, I don't know, just been busy, I guess. I am usually tired whenever I get online. Just have time to e-mail NG and check my groups and what not. Not much surfing has been done the last few weeks.

I do spend some time playing the TV and Music Trivia on Facebook. I don't really get to browse that site, so much going on. But I'm enjoying the TV/Music trivia.

53 days before Christmas. I'm thinking of making my own cards again but I don't have much time. Oh well. Will figure something out.

Can't tell you much right now, so, will just have to go. I'm on a 4-day no work days. Filipinos are so spoiled in having non-working holidays. Oh well. I wanted to share my work day but it's been the longest day ever and thinking about it makes me tired. So, I won't talk about it anymore. Hee.

Have a good November. I'm hoping the same for me as well. God Bless.
