Cold December in O...

It's December.

I don't like getting my period, the painful cramps makes me bitchy and irritable hence I just wanna take naps. Hate cramps. Men are sooooo lucky they don't endure this every month.


Saw the commercial for Trust Me last night while watching Cheech & Chong Roasted with NG. I half-squealed when I saw Ed Stevens on the screen, the show will start airing in January 2009. Something to look forward too.


According from Yahoo Movies, The Dark Knight is the most-watched trailer of the year, I thought it would be Twilight with all the buzz on that book/movie. I miss E! Coming Attractions.

My first Thanksgiving went good. It was NG's first Thanksgiving here at the casa. Our first Thanksgiving. I prepared the gravy, stuffing and mashed potatoes. NG was in charge of things that went inside the oven like the pies, biscuits and heating of the smoked turkey breasts. NG enjoyed preparing the our first Thanksgiving as much as I was. MajorDad brought 2 bottles of white wine. I don't normally drink wine or champagne but since it's a special occasion, I finished half a glass. I like my drinks fruity where I can't taste the bitterness of the alcohol. I like it that way with my drink.

It snowed Sunday morning. My first snow experience. I took some pictures. Will just post it when I get them transferred from my camera to my laptop. I'm lazy right now. Speaking of laptops, NG bought additional memory and disk space for my laptop, I didn't ask for it but he said, consider it an advance Christmas gift.

I've been playing Texas Hold'em on Myspace, Facebook and Pokerstars. I win some, I lose lots, good thing they are play money. I've never played poker for real except for that one time with the EBC gurls and most of us didn't know what was going on. Hee. That was fun.

Here's to a good December for you and me. God Bless.

What? A Blog? From me?...

I wish I could sign. Both images from Post Secret.

Something To Do...got this from my archive...thought I'd update it a bit...

Ten Years Ago: The year was 1998. I was 22. Started working for Uncle Boss if memory serves me right. Litemail was getting active as the days go by.

Five Years Ago: 2003. Attended my 10-year HS dinner/reunion. It was nice seeing some of my batchmates again. Even saw some guys who grew up nicely. Hee.

One Year Ago: April 2007. Not much going on. Keeping the long distance relationship going with NG. Nadine turned 8. Tatay turned 61.

Last month: March 2008. Had my medical examination for the visa interview requirement. It wasn't fun. Took two days. Been sick for almost a week for some reason that I had to go to the doctor for a check-up a week before my medical examination. Thank God it wasn't something major. I don't like being sick. Sigh. It's not fun to be in bed all day/night. SisterM was here for a month-long, much-needed, much-deserved vacation. Happy month.

Yesterday: Woke up from NG's text message. He was bummed that he had to take an hour extra at his 2nd job coz two people didn't show up. Chat was postponed because he didn't set the alarm for him to wake up for our chat. Times when I wish that I'm not in a long-distance relationship. Sucks at times. When you want to be there for someone but you can't since you're apart. Sucks. Big time. Sigh. I distracted myself from feeling sad about that fact by doing my weekend chores: handwashing my undies and ironing my clothes. Played computer games too. Napped in the afternoon. It was a lazy Sunday for me.

This is the last week of April 2008. Where did the months go? Why does it feel fast yet it's slow at the same time? Am I making sense? I have a tummy ache right now. Does drinking coffee makes you do #2? Listening to David Cook's version of ALWAYS BE MY BABY on loop. [LOVE the version...] It's 3am-ish and I'm still awake. This is one of them days. Monday blues. I have somewhere to be today. Might miss work or the first half of it. Good thing it's a light work week as far as I know. I went to the dentist last weekend, had some work done, cost almost 20000 pesos. Yikes. The money I saved wasn't enough, had to borrow from my sisters. What else? Oh, I found out I can connect my Nokia6300 phone to my computer. Yay. I was able to transfer songs and pictures from my computer to my phone. I tried transferring a game but the file type is not supported by my phone. That's okay. I am happy that I was able to transfer songs and pics. I am tired but not that sleepy. Will just go for now. Have a fine last week of April 2008. Thanks for reading my blog. I am trying to keep my faith in every aspect there is. God Bless.

February Twenty Five Twenty Oh Eight...

From Post Secret
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to sign? I never learned how to do this. I still could learn yes?

Korean baby covers Hey Jude...you must watch this...

From Monday's a Bitch:
1. Did you watch the Oscars last night? What did you think of them?
Woke up late for it. Saw bit parts. Saw James McAvoy. Not much into awards shows now than I used to.

2. Have you ever called in sick to work when you weren't really sick? What did you spend the day doing instead?
I try not to because karma is a bitch. The few times I've had, I just stayed in my room, whenever I feel down or something, it's not just easy to get up and pretend that you're okay when in fact, you're not, if you know what I mean.

3. In school did you ever have to serve detention? What for?
I cut class and got caught. First time I did it AND I got caught. Never did it again after that.

4. Have you ever had food poisoning? What did you eat that caused it?
No food poisoning. Though, I remember, years ago, during lunch, I ate just a bit of rice and pork asado, then ate LOTS of watermelon, was throwing up for quite a while.

5. Do you have any tattoos? If not, would you ever consider getting one?
I don't have any though there are times I wish I'd get one but I'm not too keen on the needles.

I don't get to watch Gossip Girl but isn't this guy too good looking? There are gay rumors buzzing around him, that he's with JC Chasez of NSYNC. One time, it was a news bit on ET that he's with Carrie Underwood. Hmmm. I don't care what his sexual preference is, he's easy on the eyes, I don't even know if he's a good actor. Hee. Not crushing on him but you just can't help but notice his good looks yes? Oh, his name is Chase Crawford btw.

Kids say the darndest things: [a brief conversation between me and my 8-year-old cousin Nadine]:
Nadine: Ate, ano ba yung condom, yun frenzy? [apparently she saw in on a TV commercial]
Me: Hindi mo pa maiintidihan kahit explain ko sa'yo, pag laki mo na lang.
Nadine: Try mo, baka maintindihan ko...
[She forgot about her question once we got to the chocolates section inside Watsons...heee...As far as I can remember, we just learn about those things as we grow up no? I can't remember how I learned about condoms. And even if I do remember, I will not tell it here. Hee. I do have a condom I got free from a Cosmo mag a few years ago, I have to find it and get rid of it, they have expiration right? The packet it came with is purple, that's why I kept it, I guess. A FRIENDS episode is flashing back right now, Ross calling the condom company...hee. I miss FRIENDS.]

I celebrated my birthday with the EBC gurls. We had body massages before our crabs, tofu and palabok dinner. We were online after dinner. We helped Eee start her own Multiply and Facebook accounts, yay. No VS, imagine that? No one really craved for it. Coffee, tea, popcorn and cakes are what kept us awake until we parted ways at 6am. It was a good way of celebrating my birthday. I pray I get to celebrate it with them again sometime soon.

This is the last week of February 2008. Where did it go? Next week, my youngest sister will be here for a month-long vacation. I can't wait for her to have it because she's been really swamped with work. Getting her vacation wasn't easy either. Her bosses didn't want her to go because they need her a lot. I told her that could by why the person before her resigned, because of too much work load. Hee. But she enjoys what she do. I think, I can say, she's pretty blessed that she enjoys what she does for a living. If only I could afford to give her a Macbook Pro for her birthday next month, I would, maybe someday, somehow. It's not impossible, will just take some time to get that. Can't wait to see her again next week. Yay. It was July 2006 that she was last here. I still am praying and wishing that one day, we'd all be in one timezone and we'll all just be a phone call away. Distance can be a bitch, thankful for the internet, text messaging that keeps us closer in some ways.

Have a good week ahead. Keep the faith and God Bless.
