Hello friends, another post here. It has been a very hot and wonderful summer as always for the vacation season. Some spent it elsewhere like the beach, out of town resorts, a trip abroad or even visited relatives in the provinces. Me you ask? Well, I spent my summer with a few overnight gigs with friends and mostly at home. I found my summer job being the household and Alfred, my nephew. Yes, I went from sweeping & mopping the floor, to dog-feeding, to dishwashing and to babysitting. What could I say? It’s what we call hard-hitting fun.
 
   But sad to say, the months-long break is ending and another school year is coming up and preparations are non-stop. I’m sure everybody wants more of that ecstatic vacay but is excited for the start of school. I mean, we do miss our school buddies when we’re on vacation right? Haha. I did.
 
   Back to the summer vacation, how did you spend yours? Apart from being the household guy, I also kept myself busy with the internet. I got hooked to Twitter. For those who are yet introduced to Twitter - it is for the exchange of short status messages seen by other Tweeples. (twitter people. :D) instead of friends, you’ve got the people you follow and your followers. You see the updates of the people you follow likewise; people who follow you see your updates. It cool now huh? Haha. I just enrolled last week (thanks to Matt for being with me) have a dull Tuesday-Thursday schedule. But the hell with it, at least I am off for the rest of the day. :D seems we are off for another fun-filled and exciting school year. Break a leg!

just last week, we had our pre-final exams and it was, as usual, nerveracking and as diffucult as it gets closer to finale. and looks like it turned out fine. well, on to my weekend, my bestfriend threw a bday bash with an overnight swimming party, and it was fun-filled, certainly fun-tastic. sounds unbelievable but, it was my first actual overnight party to attend at, to the exception that it is not part of a school gig like a farewell party of maybe xmas party. and i was the neophyte. haha. i so did enjoy the party.

the asking for permission was like processing for travel abroad, where i have to undergo various interview with my fam.

• my father was the embassy like, for visa application and approval
• dearest mum, airport security join forces with baggage counter and wardrobe dept
• kuya, the Thomas Cook, ticketing location of party venue, the easiest
• big sis, financial release and my very own foreign consul. i tell, this is the hardest part

and i end up going to the party. it kicked off with karaoke singing, food eating and card games. swimming afterwards. i got drunk. i bit. i guess. ahaha. well it wasn’t like out of control or something. i just laughed harder and louder. pretty intense effect. 2 shot and my world spun around. haha. weak u say? em for lights. anyways, we called it a night and we didn’t had the chance to sleep so, when i came home, all i want to see is the bed and dose off. zzz. it was a rewarding weekend, after all the exams and reviews for the pre-fi.

so until then, happy Edsa Revolution Anniv and congrats to newly Oscar winners. Au revoir.

Dieu benir.

 

ps. at last, Kate Winslet owned it. very much.

our midterms are finally over and Obama stepped it up as the 44th US President was and still the most celebrated person since he triumphed over the election. last weeks headlines. well, on to a new week. formostly, Gong Xi Fa Cai! its chinese new year. it is year of the earth ox. in chinese astrology, the ox symbolizes prosperity through fortitude and hardwork. the ox is also known to be persevere and is a born leader. lets hope these traits would be reflected during times like this, when the world suffers economic crises. to award seasons. kudos to kate winslet grabbing 2 globes for actress both in lead and supporting roles for the reader and revolutionary road. a big salute to the late heath, who won best supporting actor for his role as joker in the dark knight. the globes was cute but not unlike the upcoming oscars, bigger! sad to see that revolutionary road didn't get any attention from the academy, though it was a great movie. 15th nomination for meryl streep, record queen for most nominations. anne hathaway's first and angelina's 2nd. thought of kate as her fifth and maybe, just maybe her first oscar for the reader. brad has one for benjamin button which i should say is a best picture. love the story. great plot. sean penn also has one nod for milk and globe winner mickey rourke for the wrestler. one the, i should say cute nods is for a dude playing a dude disguise as another dude, robert downey getting his oscar nod for trophic thunder. wow. great actors. great show. im sure id watch that. haha. ciao for now.

popular GOALS i'd consider to be mine:

• SAVE MONEY - to tell you, if there is something i never did this 2008, it was to save money. im so poor when it comes to managing my finances, and i hope i could AND i know i would (yeah right). spend less, keep more.
  
• GET FIT-ter - i know im partially fit, but just a little more push and im there.
  
• DRINK LESS ALCOHOL - limit it to occasions not every depressions. not even when i feel i like to have some. self control, there you go.
• TAKE A TRIP - do i have to? need to reconsider 'coz of #1. well maybe if its like walking distance or something. there, im thrift and stingy. lol.
  
• TEMPER CONTROL - the Bible says, "dont let the sun go down on your anger". okay, my anger mngt. resolution - anger applicable only for like less than a minute. damn. no way! just say no to hot arguements and grumpy people. in that way less hot-headed showdowns, happy world.
  
• EAT HEALTHY - i have no probs with veggies, but those luscious, tender and fatty foods just take my taste buds by storm. LESSEN. hmm. i have to work this out.
  
• EDUCATION - this one's for real. ever since.
  
• GAIN WEIGHT - just to add volume to my thin body.
  
• LOVE MORE - share more affection and care to all the people so that you can start workin' on the impossible "world peace" :) 
• GOD IS EVERYTHING - always pray to God and try not to wander off the right path shall we?  

hello 2009.

every kid has gone crazy over the past weeks in preparation for the season. well for them its was all about the gift giving, merry making and joy of having to receive a loadful of blessings. not only the kids got strucked by the craziness but also the adults, most particularly the godparents who planned their escape to nowhere. bahh! just kidding. you tell me. hehe. well its a season for crazy lovin', crazy giving and over the top craziness for togetherness. Christmas. just this morning as our annual family ritual, we were bound for Antipolo City where we attend the Christmas mass. well its not to avoid "the kids" but it is a more important thing to like remember the real reason for the celebration, the birth of Jesus. so ok, at some part it was a form to avoid them but just for the early mor'n stress and so. but for real. c'mon. but then, the day was just starting, as planned we were to take off by 7:00 am. to avoid the traffic, the heat and to be honest, them "kids". haha. but for worldly causing economic problems and financial crises, the world manage to catch us and they were early. yah, early birds. haha. but not out of selfishness or something, its just too unusual to see a mob of kids so early at the front yard. well, santa duty. they nailed our wallets and pockets off. but it brought so much joy to see that even with a small amount you can give, the smiles were priceless. admit it. when money is being talked about everyone listens. but today, its not about the value, its about the spirit of tradition and giving. Jesus was the greatest gift. and that my friends is undeniably true. yah, there was the stress lots of it in the pocket and physic, the preparation for food, gifts and other. but at the end of the day, its all about Him. reliving the unending generosity of God. so what i am trying to point is, plan HIDING earlier than ever. haha. lol. just kidding. as we got to Antipolo and went our way back, i saw the streets which were flooded by people whom are with their families and friends going out to spend sometime together. well it was a sight. it was a joy. i saw some who lets say are luxurious and extravagant. but the something caught my eye.
