WINTER STORM 12/16/07-Todo na to!!!!

Ok,so we just went out to have our pictures taken.(My Grandma,Aunt and I)

We got to have lots of fun despite of being in the center of a winter storm(how brave of us!Really this was just in our front yard!)



Within the compound




In all the years I've lived here(just for nearly 3 years),I''ve never experienced anything like this.I was'nt able to sleep well for fear of going to work the following morning.Thankfully Nitsa did'nt let me go to work.There was hardly any bus passing by.
Me braving the wind

Me and my Grandma


Despite all these, it has been one hell of fun! :-)

"Claudius The God"

Finally! After long agonizing months I finished this book last night.I don't know.This has'nt warmed up to me unlike the first one, I,Claudius. It accounts of Claudius' reign as an emperor and his relationship with his wife Messalina and his friend, Herod Agrippa.
I just found it gripping during the latter part of the story and his confrontation with his harlot of a wife. Makes me wonder, had Calpurnia not confront Claudius of Messalina's promiscuity, would history change? I think that this is the turning point of history and of the story.Because of what happened, Agippina came in to power, subsequently, of Nero(the infamous prosecuter of Christians).
Nah! Somebody else would have risen to power to give mayhem to all.

Get to know us

Nobody knows why we call each other wah.Its a secret between the two of us.Unless you can count my Mom's guess,which is correct much to my dismay,though I did'nt admit to saying yes.Mothers have an uncanny instinct of being right.She knows when I am lying.She knows when we did someting funny like......Or when I reek of........Anyway, the point is don't lie to your mother!!! Where was I? (I was straying as usual).

Yeah we met at work when I was an HR Assistant, and he a Logistics Officer at a leading chemical company in Manila.

I know super cliched huh? We met almost 6 years ago. I can still remember the exact moment we saw each other.No love connection then let me tell you. We both still were thin then and looking like "totoy and nene" Super payat as in! I still had short hair and he,no pot(beer) belly yet he he he.(nag gygym na sya promise!).

3 years of being together and 3 years and being apart? Things must have changed between us......We'll see.

The Snow Drifter

As I get up this morning to prepare for going to church(I go every Sunday at 7:30am prior to work) I saw a big pile up of snow outside.The snow storm came after all.As I went out,Lo! It was knee deep.( I was more concerned about ruining my fave boots though)I was seriously contemplating of going back home and go back to sleep(coz' its a 15-minute walk to the church).However, I changed my mind and plowed through with it so to speak. 7:30am
I love winter.It's my favorite season.No matter how cold it gets ( up to -27 to -32 without the wind chill) I still love it. I love the cold. I love the snow. It's just simply amazing. Snow flakes dropping from the sky.I always liken it to being inside a snow globe.Hayyyyy... Really, the best things in life are free.

My Newest (and only??) Baby

I rarely have something to brag about.I hardly buy stuff to myself. I am a self confessed frugal. I enjoy saving, thank you very much. My cell phone is pathetically out of date.I only own a few pairs of shoes.Maybe out of habit. I grew up watching my pennies that I find it soo hard to roll them away.


That makes my purchases sweeter.This is my latest MP3/MP4.The newest from Sony. Only 4GB, it can chold up to 1,000 songs.I chose this over ipod because of the picture resolution.It's like watching a freaking movie when I watch videos.It's soooo sweet. Plus,ipod modifies its product every fall making them depreciate faster.I also chose 4GB over 8GB so I have a reason to replace it when I get bored over this.
