On a cold October day here in O...

Jamie had a small gig last September 30th in LA and he's working on a new album and will have a TV project due out next year. Yay. For now, you can get updates via his myspace page at www.myspace.com/jamiewaltersofficial or at jamiewalters.com.

Your Pizza Says:

You love the food you grew up eating, and it's mostly what you still eat. You don't go for a big variety of foods. You just have a few favorites you stick to. Pizza Topping You Should Try: Sausage or Canadian bacon Stay away from: Anything you can't pronounce

The Pizza Test

I am here. Thought I'd do an update. I finally filed my status adjustment beginning of the month. I got the receipt notice last Friday. It'll be around 90days or more for the status adjustment to be processed. 60-90 days for the employment permit. Waiting game it is for now.

I watched Sex and the City, the movie yesterday, it made me miss my gurlfriends, made me nostalgic too. Sigh. I need a drink. Did I cry while watching the movie? If you know me, you'd know the answer to that.

I've been following Survivor Philippines and I'm enjoying it. I don't like the host much but other than that, I'm glued to the show.

It's getting colder here in O, yesterday it was in the 40s. We didn't even turn the AC on. Even NG used the comforter. If NG gets under the comforter that means it is cold. Right now, it's around 50s but it's supposed to go down the 30s tonight. Wow. I am not looking forward to the winter. Just have to deal with it. Will get winter clothes soon.

I'm gonna go for now. Must do some grilling, we're having Tilapia flakes for dinner. Hope you're all having a good mid-week. Keep the faith. God bless.

From a year ago...

"The following is an e-mail from the past, composed on Friday, September 28, 2007, and sent via FutureMe.org
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Dear Future Me, today is September 29, 2007, and you're still awake, as always...it's been tough lately between you and ..."

I forgot about that email I sent for my future self to read after a year...thinking back, that was the time that the distance was really getting to me. It was VERY tough to be in a long-distance relationship. It is not easy to be in a relationship period, much more if it's long-distance. A year after I thought we're not gonna make the relationship work because of the distance, look at us now, together in one timezone and married and dealing with life as one. I still won't recommend long-distance relationship to anyone though. It's a toughie. I'm glad we got through that.

Have a good week ahead. I'm gonna go back to my tv shows for now. I finished House [season 4] and watched the first two episodes of the latest season. Love that show. I'm 3 episodes away from finishing Dexter [season 2], I can't stand a few of the characters on the show but I still like the show. I like shows that is very talkie and Dexter talks to himself all the time. The third season started last night, same with the 2nd season of Californication [David Duchovny is love...I love hearing him talk...good speaking voice...] Until next time. October is around the corner. God bless.

I'm Not Bored...

Why is it that I can't blog as often as I want? I have the time, but like always, when I'm in the compose page of Blogger, the things that I wanted to blog about just doesn't seem worth sharing anymore? Oh well. Here I am, just writing whatever comes to mind. I wanted to blog about being stressed when your partner is stressed a few weeks ago but won't do that right now. Thankfully, NG's not as stressed at his part-time job nowadays unlike a few weeks ago.

My cousin AJ turned 18 last month, it makes me feel a bit oldish thinking that she's 18 now. Yowza. Where did the time go?


This was taken December 2000-2001 me thinks, AJ is the one on the left [wearing glasses] and Nadine is on my Nanay's lap on the right. It didn't seem that long ago.

This is Nadine now. She was in charge of the candles on her sister's birthday. 9 years from now, Nadine will be 18. Sigh. I'm getting nostalgic now.

Speaking of nostalgia, these guys are back. They had a concert in the Philippines when I turned 18 but my parents didn't let my sisters and I watched the gig. They will be here in town in November, maybe, just maybe, I'll get to see them this time around. I still have to persuade NG in coming with me. Hah. Bribes might work. We will see. Wish me luck.

I'm back on TV mode since the start of the week. I've downloaded the House [4th season and the first episode of the fifth season], I'm on episode 6 now, will finish it in a few days for sure. Loving it, I just can't take Kal Penn's character seriously, I kept thinking, that's Kumar! Hee. I also have Pushing Daisies [season one], How I Met Your Mother [2nd and 3rd seasons] to watch. I have to finish Dexter [season 2] on Showtime ON DEMAND as well. Must catch up on CSI, Brothers & Sisters [season 2], Scrubs [season 5 to present] as well. Accck. I love my shows. I may not get to watch them in real time anymore but it's all good, I actually prefer watching them one after another. No commercials. Gotta love technology for that. Any shows you think I should be watching nowadays?

Baked Ziti with white sauce and eggplant parmigiana. I miss this!!! and I MISS the gurls I'm with whenever I have that yumminess.

Even if the show ended years ago, with this calendar, they will always be there for me. Must have. It's on my Christmas wish list even if I don't have a list yet. Hee. You can get yours at Danilo.com.

I've started this post 2 hours ago and I'm still here. I think, it's time I go for now. Until next time, whenever that will be. Hee. Keep the faith. God bless.

And You Did What?...

I always want to post something in here but for some reason, I couldn't come up with anything that I think is interesting enough to share. Now, I'm just shooting the breeze, whatever will be, will be.

Got married a few weeks ago. It's bound to happen, was just a matter of time. Relieved we were able to pull it off. My Nanay was a bit worried how I'd be able to prepare for it. Dress, shoes and what not. Hee. I was able to handle it by myself, Thank God. We made the long-distance [not easy] thing worked while we had to. No more of daily emails, sms chats, weekend webcam chats and phone calls. In person communication is so much better. NG and I have been like a married couple since I got here but when it became legal and all, it was more special than anything that has happened to us, so far. I'm loveliking it. Very comforting to be married to someone you really want and love and viceversa. I feel blessed. Thank you to those who congratulated us. Do include us in your prayers and thoughts that we'll have a blessed married life.

I cooked something yesterday...it was tasteful enough, hee...NG liked it, he said, I should make it again...you can check the recipe here.

This one is from Post Secret. I tried to think of my fears and the most is about death. I shouldn't be afraid of that yes? I have faith. I know, it'll all be okay once we reach our time. I pray I'll be okay about that.

MajorDad gave us 72 bottles of Powerade. He told us he got a good deal on it, 50 cents/bottle at WalMart. He also gave us a bunch of [more] microwaveable foodies. I am grateful. He's one generous man.

Anyhoo, that's about it for now. Have a good day. Keep the faith. God bless.

Them Blogthings...

You Are a Realist

You don't see the glass as half empty or half full. You see what's exactly in the glass. You never try to make a bad situation seem better than it is... But you also never sabotage any good things you have going on. You are brutally honest in your assessments of situations - and this always seems to help you cope.

Are You An Optimist or Pessimist?

You're a Pack Rat in Training

You know those crazy old people with a ton of video tapes and cats? Well, you're training to be one. Time to do some spring cleaning. Even if it isn't spring!

What Your Bathroom Habits Say About You

You are a giving soul. Way too giving in fact. You often get stuck doing the dirty work that no one else will do. You spend a lot on clothes, and you tend to be a very dresser. However, it's hard for you to throw away trendy clothes when they go out of style. You have the perfect blend of confidence and class. You're proud of who you are - but you don't broadcast it. In relationships, you are practical and realistic. You have a romantic side, but you only let it out when it's appropriate.

You Are 58% Peaceful

In general, you think the world's a pretty great place - and you're happy to be a part of it. Sometimes you struggle with life, but who doesn't? You are quite level headed, though you have more inner angst than you'd like.

How Peaceful Are You?

You are a PC

You're practical, thrifty, and able to do almost anything. Appearances and trends aren't important to you. You just like to get the job done.
