1. Hallelujah! I finally had the guts to say that!

4. There was dead air and that's how I knew it was time to let go.
5. What were once vices, are still vices.
6. Milk tea is what I've been having for breakfast lately.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to having a peaceful evening, tomorrow my plans include visiting my niece and Sunday, I want to just relax and take it slow!

Like a kid again

It's raining! Looks like it won't stop till early evening. With nothing to do, I stepped out of the door, sat in the garden, and enjoyed the rainfall. Oh, memories came flashing by. Early morning AM radio broadcasts about classes being suspended, champorado, arroz caldo, dewy rain scent - memories that I will forever treasure. As I entered the teeny bopper stage, the early morning radio broadcasts were still present, but this time, I remember reading a book and tidying up my room. I loved the rain then, I still love it now. Only to the extent that it cools the surroundings, mind you. Not to the point of flooding, landslides, etc. Hell, NO! 

After an hour and a half in the rain, I decided to take a quick shower. I have prepared myself a hot cup of milk tea, and am choosing a book to read. I realized that there are still 5 books waiting to come out of their plastic covers - untouched. Now is a good time to catch up on reading. 

What memories do you have as soon as you see overcast skies and have that strong feeling that it's gonna rain? 

*PS - Done with REVENGE season 1. Yipee!!

Time for REVENGE...

...the series, I mean. Almost got you there, didn't I? If you have been a blog follower, you would know how seldom I watch movies and turn on the tv. I'd prefer books over those. BUT, but, if I hear or see a preview of a good movie or tv show, I watch it religiously. This is how I came to know about the show REVENGE. Forum after forum, I noticed people talk about it. I got curious, looked up the site, little did I know that I'd be  watching each episode, nonstop.  I love the how the story goes - interesting, keeps me thinking. Each episode  targets on one subject or person only. I love how Emily/Amanda puts on the "X" mark in a photograph after one target is down.  Another reason why I love the show is because of their beautiful houses, the beach, and the elegant clothes worn by Victoria. Gadgets and other stuff galore, too. Nolan isa computer genius for me. Look like he attended an ITIL seminar. Haha.  I just started watching the series yesterday, and am starting with episode 12 today. Woohoo! Cheers to me. Now, back to regular programming.

Rainy Season coming up...

Can we officially say that summertime is over? Though the start of the rainy season has not yet been officially declared by PAGASA, I would consider this as the start. Since last week, we have been getting our daily dose of rain showers. Wish me luck in helping me keep my outdoor patio flooring mud and stain free. This is one part of the house that I focus on when the rain starts. Picture on the left. And after the rain, we still have to mop it cause it tends to be a bit slippery, and we wouldn't want any accidents coming our way.

This morning, I woke up to a beautiful shining sun with matching cool breeze. I decided to do the laundry. Just as I finished hanging out the last piece of clothing to air dry (pathetic, our spin dryer is busted), down came the rain (and washed the spider out, lol). Heavy downpour that lasted for about 30mins. How I wish we could just dry clothes indoors, no? Haaay...

*Song playing in my head now - Here comes the rain again, falling on my head like a memory, falling on my head like a new emotion.... Whew! Eurythmics.

What to give...

There are only 3 days left til we all say hello to the month of June. As cliche as it may sound, time really does fly so fast. Half a year already? Then for all we know, it's Christmas time once again. Should I start making my Christmas wish list? Haha! I already have on in mind right now. No, actually two - Playstation 3 and a Playstation Move Motion Controller. Yes! That's what I want. I better start being good now. Santa, can you hear me? Lol! 

Why am I even thinking of my Christmas wish list, when I have to think of a Father's Day present for my Papa just yet. Why is it so difficult to find something to give to men, specifically birthday gifts for men ? A common advice you'd get is "to base it on the person's hobbies or personality." True! But there's just really something that I find difficult when looking for something to give to men. What I usually do is to personally ask them what they want, or what they wish to receive from me. I make them come up with at least 3 choices and that's where I start. I could give all three requests if the budget permits. I think I need to send an email to my Papa now and ask him what he wants for Father's day. I will keep you posted Ü

Done for the day!

Howdy! This is somehow related to my blog post yesterday. At last, I woke up at 7:20am this time. Wooohoo!!! Back to my normal waking time. I must congratulate myself :)  Well one of the main reasons why I  got up at that time, without an alarm clock mind you, is because I want to finish the doing household chores early so by 2pm I would just relax and watch CJ Corona testify on the witness stand. I may not understand the complete story but somehow I understand what is going on. And this is the day. I give myself a pat in the back for being productive today. There are only three things for today's TO-DO list - daily routine cleaning, laundry, and cooking = DONE! Hurrah... 

Lazy-ness...

What the hell is happening to me? I have been waking up at 10:30am for the past 3 days. Weird. I can definitely say that it's kinda strange coz even during my rest days, I usually get up at 5:30 or 6am. The latest that I'd be up would be at 7am. Whether I'm out the night before, or even if I get to sleep at 3am from watching tv or dvd, I always get up early. Hmmmm. The husband said, "Baka buntis ka? (you might be pregnant)" Oohh that's music to my ears. I could be, I could be not. I have not done a test, I don't think that I'm pregnant, too. Booo! I just don't want to expect. So, I asked him "Why did you say so?" And he instantly replied, "Kasi tamad ka magkikilos. (coz you're too lazy to move around)" Wahahaha!! Boom! Lazy me. Laziness could be kicking in.

This morning, I still got up at around 10:30am. Ugh! With tons of work to do at home, how will I ever get to finish it again today? Oh, geez. I need to be productive today. Well not just today, but in the days to come. While the husband was preparing lunch, I did the morning habit of tidying up the lawn and the backyard. Then I sat down for coffee. How sweet of my husband to wait for me to get up, finish what I had to do first, and have coffee with me. I said that because he's used to having his coffee as soon as he gets up from bed. He left after we had lunch, and I'm all by my lonesome self again. I thought of starting the Korean dvd I recently bought and  just stay in bed all day. Erase! Erase! I have to take that off my mind. I need to be productive. I went to the kitchen and stared at the refrigerator. *Ting* The fridge needs some love. And that is what I'm gonna give. So right now, while waiting for the shelves, fridge wall, etc to dry up , I am sitting in front of the computer, typing. I wonder what I think about doing next. I promise to reward myself after with a cool bath. If only I had aquatic bath products around, my time in the shower would be perfect. 

How has your day been so far? Happy Monday! 

Friday Fill-ins

Happy Friday! Overcast skies are what I saw as I woke up. Looks like it's gonna rain the whole day. Oooh, don't you just love summer rain? I was thinking that if it's gonna be a sudden downpour of rain, I will be out  there soaking wet and enjoy it as if I was still a kid. How I miss bathing in the rain.

While waiting for that to happen, let me fill-out the blanks first for today's Friday Fill-ins.

And here we go...

1. When we put or hearts and mind into something, the outcome is so wonderful the way you had imagined it to be!

2. In your head, in your head, ZOMBIE! ZOMBIE! ZOMBIE!

3. It'll be all well in the end.

4. Barcelona, Spain is a place I always wanted to visit, but haven't yet. I want to visit the Sagrada Familia and see how beautiful the church is. Exterior is perfect, I want to know how it looks inside - ceiling, altar, Church furniture, etc. Someday, someday.... 

5. When I'm sad I reflect, cry, and have my comfort food by my side ; when I'm happy I still have my comfort food beside me. Haha!

6. I should be more involved with the events and news about my community.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to sleeping soundly, tomorrow my plans include having fun with my niece, and Sunday, I want to go to Church and have a really good massage!
