temporary address: lourdes

I am used to hospital duties then, staying to care for pa, bro in between work shifts. But this 2011 version provides an extra challenge now with hubby as patient and me with baby -- suddenly i would have to require an extra bed and comfortable positions.

One good thing about this session is our dry run for August when I'll finally be due. We're testing this hospital: facilities and staff, so far so good.

Hope he'll get well soon. :)

Johnny Mathis

There's this wonderful moment in my childhood :
It was 4ish or 5 pm. In our Manila Times (my uber favorite home) living room, we had heavy curtains where afternoons would be quite dark already. Johnny Mathis was playing, on a "quadrophonic turntable" (btw, we still have this "system" todate, ) Dad and mom dancing cheek to cheek. I just remember just staring at them dancing.

Until now, Johnny Mathis still gives me that calm. Chances are. :)

What's your "comfort song" ?

Shipping out version 4

My address doesn’t seem to agree with the dramas of my life.. So then I am doing something about this issue :) I will be moving to a new place this 2009!


Sikatuna, it sounds old QC, astig.. Now with solid years living in QC, am no longer the southener.

Like, who would believe I am having money issues and I am in dire need of a job if I live in eastwood.. Waaah, I should really fix my demographics to act and look dukha. Problem fixed. New place.. Yehey!

I still congratulate myself for not succumbing to the lure of going back to parents' place. I almost.

Side anecdote : last Christmas vacay while staying at home for a while, dinnertime was a feast compared to my usual fastfood, cook own food or eat out fare (portions at home are gynormous) like, I felt like the prodigal gal inggit mode. I almost.

Home v 3.0

Hail, hail the gang's all here..

last valentine's day i went home to my parents' we had a lunch date, after lunch i slept on my mother's lap while they were watching a b-movie actioneer with billy blanks as the anti-hero (yep, the aerobics guy)

while on my way out, back to real life ortigas, my dad was near his texas and miscellaneous rooster cages, when he saw me he went towards me. When he moved, about 30 other birds flew, (parang sa central park) he said these birds like to eat the chicken feed that he leaves behind :)

he walked me through the park, outside the village where i got my ride.

that is why it is easy to be simple, thankful and not easily blinded by the greed in my world.

list

i said short distance
i said same nationality
i said normal, this time normal
i said "not complicated"
i said never again

i'll say the tastiest letters are the As and the Ls promise, its yummy! i already ate my words.

this one word i don't mind eating 命運.

"Good Neighbors"

Busy day today.. I almost missed the chance to get my camera from the corner SONY service center because I had to detour to a meeting at shangri-la.. When I came back the sign at the door said "closed."

But the guard let me in anyway.. Just because he always see me when I catch a cab from my building (stalker!)

----
From Sony, I went to a neighborhood fishball stand. I didn't know that the amount I gave was worth dalawang basong fishball. I actually just got 1 plastic cup and left the stand. But the lady pala remembered me (yes, the uninformed fishball addict) and asked the guards to give me my 2nd cup.. Sweet! So here I am eating my second fishball yumfest.

Fine dining! Ha ha ha!

11am pa lang quota na ako sa happiness :)
