Sepia

Every weekend I look forward to bringing Kimi at home to spend time w/ my parents too. There are 2 sides of the coin & mahina ang kalaban. Each side absolutely wants to savour his innocence. Had I produced twins, then we wouldn't swing ala pendulum. Siguradong hating kapatid *kidding*

It was raining the whole time, only weaker 'though. Still I can't help but feel gloomy. 1st, the weather and 2nd, this old photograph on display at home. The framed pic had been there eversince yet it only caught my attention last Friday.

I was staring at it for a while. *enter senti music*


Suddenly I realized how fast the years go by. Me and my Kuya are no longer kids. We've aged. We now have our own kids to "whip/whisk/fold", assuming the role of parents. (wow, I am indeed!)

I can remember the time when we used to fight like aso't pusa by harshly banging throw pillows at each other and I end up crying afterwards. Eileen = loser :) That was like 20+yrs ago. Hmmm...will Kimi & Bettina follow our footsteps? I guess not. They'll have to resort to a virtual rather than physical game for sure.

The memories are definitely for keeps and the picture too. All I have to do is reminisce. *sigh* Good thing the photo is still intact despite the creases.

To photoshop or not to photoshop? Nah..

..authenticity..authenticity

Malay at Paki

TV sucks, i.e., if u have to deal with news abt stars, starlets, politicians, Angel Locsin, Angel Locsin and Angel Locsin. It's what Pinoy reporters are good at - make fire out of two polished pebbles. Do you really need to highlight someone's everyday activity? Hello? As if she wasn't doing that when she wasn't a star yet.

Hear ye! Hear ye! I'm taking the lift. Can someone document it please? If I were you, come up to Baguio and you'll receive the cold treatment you've been longing for. We, the inhabitants, don't kiss stars' ass really. I dare you ask anyone.

Yes, they're none of my damn business. And it's not anybody's business either. But since this is my blog and I can say anything and everything. *harhar*

Hmmm...gutom lang yan Eileen. Chips to the rescue! FYI, this has been my addiction lately. Try nyo!

The Bitch is back

Fox, Hubi's Siberian Husky is definitely enjoying motherhood just like me. She appears to rear her puppies extra, extra carefully for fear of detachment later on. Mothers, indeed, sometimes create an imaginary shield to protect their babies. They will do anything & everything to keep their property protected to the point of appearing selfish, that is. Well, she will have no choice since 1 pup equals big buck$$$$!! *wink*

I am just jealous for she can nurse her pups without any hassle. "Breastmilk is still the best for babies", I agree. As for me 'though, I'm drought-stricken but still struggling. *sigh* Not all are blessed anyway. What's important is I'm doing my part despite the "disability". A little understanding & less pressure from outside can already comfort me.

Wednesday Blues

It may have been pouring hard for hours now (from yesterday 'til today) but that didn't stop me & Hubi from going out last night to meet up with friends. If not for a so called advance bday celebration minus the celebrant ('coz her kid is prohibited from making lakwatsa on a weekday, so her husband was the only one present - Happy Bday Ate Arlene!), we won't be drenching ourselves. It was unplanned actually. Hmm..the orGanizer might just be making a tribute to someBody else's BdAY. Oooops...spare the chismaks!! *kidding* It was definitely nice to see all of them guys again after a long time since the baby came out. Thanks also for the coffee and hopia, Ninong A. Galivanting is definitely my booster. Pano, nasanay kay Merlion.

Well, back to reality. I'm "home based" again. Got nothing that toxic to do on a rainy day than to take care of Kimi, look outside the window at times and magmuni-muni. It's really gloomy, cold and damp. This is the Baguio I'm (we're) used to. Minus, of course, the traffic and being surrounded by the sangkatutak na FX taxis. Good thing, we're quite isolated. The view of the green, green grass of home, the pine trees and several houses perched on the mountain side is what pleases my eyes. (check out the pic on my previous post)
I'm still conforming. (ang tagal na nito..hay)

P.S. Was supposed to upload some random pics but blogger seems to reject them, will upload the next time around.

Plus & Minus

Yey! Prayers answered.

It's raining and the dams are currently being quenched. I just hope the showers extend throughout. 'Though I really don't like rain especially UP here with the damp & moldy feeling; it's a relief to experience it now. The papers say it will linger for a few days. Thanks to monsoon. Hopefully so.

I guess we don't get all that we want. We may be experiencing the rain we've longed for; however, in exchange for electricity.

Brownout strikes back! Well, it's ok, 'coz I've missed it for a while.

Nasa Pinas na nga ako...haay.

Lesson #1


The best thing next to a box of chocolates is an empty beehive coupled with a free pair of bee wings.

Left out

Whilst everyone, my friends, countrymen & foes, are updated with news and current events. I seem to be quite "isolated" from all that's happening less the chance of being spoon-fed. My world apparently is revolving only around Kimi. How long? I don't know. =) Still adjusting maybe..

There are times I merely rely on news via the grape vine. Well, I don't care if they're authentic or not. News kahapon, modified lang ngayon para may mapag-usapan, db?. Besides, issues are all whirlwind. I am more concerned I guess on the weather changes. It's more alarming than discovering the Marine beheaders or GMA's SONA. I can't even figure out whether it's a Monday or a Tuesday if not for the never missed Fear Factor, Maximum Exposure, World's Amazing Videos or Ripley's.

The shift from being a workaholic to a homebody had been drastic that I find it so difficult to assimilate it. *sigh* Neither did it transform me to becoming a couch potato nor a bookworm. A staggered time won't do the trick.

If only I could turn back the clock...I would.

...on 2nd thought.
