Joys in Life

 I have to use this photo because my other string photos are in the office.  for the theme today, i think this strings of flags on air is just timely.  presently, all around the city now have decors like that in preparation for the city festival.

Am a bit early in post because i will be leaving for church after this. see ya all later and have a happy hunting!

wishing everyone a happy week-end!

~My Favorite DVD Movie Is~

1. In Drama?
Message in a Bottle, The Notebook, Somethings Gotta Give - these are the few of my tear jerker movies which i love.

2. In Comedy?
for now i just love Alvin and the Chipmunks. I watch it again and again and again.

3. In Mystery/Suspense?
I am not a fan of this kind of movie but 24 hours Series on DVD is manageable.  Mystery or suspense movies palpitates my heart or even worst, i can’t breath at times.  So can’t watch movies like that alone.

4. In Action/Adventure?
I can only remember Tears in the Sun and Proof as some of the action/adventure movies i enjoyed.  Thre are more maybe but i forgot the title.

SEPTEMBER 5 - How would you rate yourself being a mother, 10 being the highest.

Wow thats’ a tough one and really i can’t rate myself as mom all in all because it’s often i would say am not a good mother being a mom on the go at that.  I was not there for my children especially in their toddler years.  Though i was there when they were born but not so long after that they were left to the care of my mother and my son to the care of my ex-hubs.  It was a choice i can’t avoid.  It’s should be my mom who will answer this question. hehehee.  But if it calls for financial support, i surely got the highest rating.  That’s the only reason why i was a mom on the go, why i missed those moments when i should be with my children.

Join us at SKYWATCH FRIDAY here.

This week’s theme for the Weekly Fest is “When You Were…”  It is a display of picture of you and your hubby before marriage.  I knew of the theme the other day and right away I thought i got nothing for an entry.  So instead of posting something with a picture, i’d rather post this with an explanation why on earth i don’t have a pre-marriage photo of me and my hubby (ex hubby na to uy).

Honestly, we had pics but I really dunno where they are now.  I remember long time ago, pre-wedding months, i got a photo of “US” in my wallet.  It was my kumare who took that shot and then developed it to twp pieces wallet size for me and him.  We used it during all the time since we received it from our kumare.  Many months later, when we already had a child, and the relationship seems not right (on my part), i discovered that “our” picture was not in his wallet anymore.  I didn’t asked him why he took it off, but i also did the same.  I took off “our” picture and changed it to a beautiful me (feeling single) mode.   The more i was emotionally drifting apart from him.  The act made me conclude that he is also thinking that our relationship is getting cold and am tired of trying to make it real warm.  Well, to make the long story short, I lost our pics.  Maybe i had it in file in my stuff left at his place or maybe i have really thrown it away.

Btw, just a little glimpse of our pre-marriage situation or maybe pre-living in together situation, we have gone out on several dates but seldom only the two of us together.  It’s often with my friends because he only comes to visit for couple of hours then off his way back to Pampanga.  So, if he goes, at least i have friends or girlfriend that will go back with me to my boarding house.  So we didnt have the typical sweety2 bf/gf relationship.

Yeah, i  WON!. Jumping up and down and clapping my hands after reading the offlines of Aeirin.  Yeah, that’s true.  I was happily jumping because am happy.  :-)  Remember the birthday game contest post i made last week? If you don’t remember, well here it is, the BIRTHDAY GAME CONTEST.  Am just so happy.  Thank you Chikai for sharing your blessings on your birthday.

By the way, just to note, this is the first blog contest that I won cash.

Another thing to note that also feels like winning was when Yen also awarded me cash for being the top comment dropper for the month of August. For this i did not expect.  But mind you, with cash or without cash, Yen’s blogs are worth visiting.

So both these ladies made me 20 dollars richer for now. :-)  I just want to say a very heartfelt –

my visual DNA taken as of today. ive tried to answer this last year but i forgot to show off my result. But nothing much has changed. It’s still the same emotional me.

Why not try yours? Drop me the link if you want me to visit your result.

How’s the weather at your end?  Is it one that you like best or is it one that you really don’t like.  I love outcasted skies or weather that’s cool.  What i don’t like most is when my morning starts with the heat of the sun so hot at 8 am or even before 8 am strikes. During times like this, i wish am in a country where there are 4 seasons.

Am a person who does not like sweating except when am in a gym or when am exercising, but when am off to the office, i feel uncomfortable when am already sweating before i reached the office because of the too much heat from the sun.  Believe me, am already using umbrella at 7:45 in the morning.  I don’t use it to cover my head but i used it to cover my back.  The heat does not yet penetrate my head as early as 7:45 but it’s my back. They said, early mornin sun is healthy.  Hmm not for me when am off to the office.

The weather is really crazy these days.  The heat of the sun is up before 8 am and dies out just before 5 pm.  So am often out with the umbrella.  Thanks to the person who invented it or else am always bathing in my own persperation. hahaha.  It’s so hot that even men nowadays, they too have their own umbrellas (just the folding ones though).  At times, morning so hot and at 3 pm, before the heat of the sun dies out, it will rain cats and dogs.  So thanks to the existence of the umbrella that protects us from the heat of the sun and  from the rain so that this crazy weather makes will prevent us from getting sick.

Today mornin, i can be seen online but i was not on my seat.  Before 9 am, i was already at our new kitchen here in the office or shall i say, the dream kitchen of my boss. :d  One of my bosses just loves to cook and people here also love to eat his cooking.

The food prepared were just simple ones.  To avoid the fatty meat, my boss cooked native chicken tinola with lots of vegetables (yam, sayote, and chilli leaves).  it was yummy.  He also prepared cabbage salad (a mixture of shredded cabbage, carrots, tomatoes, pineapple, in a good amount of little (lemonsito) lemon extracts.

The person who highlighted the affair by doing the blessed prayer was the no other than our week of prayer speaker this week, the VP-SA of Adventist University of the Philippines.  Another affair for the occasion was a farewell lunch for the father of our College as he fly to far away land tomorrow and will not be back for sometime.
