Weekend News

Good news: No MMPA class

Disaster: Still bad with driving lessons. Don't know how to turn wheels during reverse. Panicked. Argh! Two more hours to go and still haven't figured that one out yet.

Good news: Was able to buy bassinet for Eoni. And Addidas rubber shoes (40% off).

Disaster: Had to endure 2 hrs. of bus ride to Taytay yesterday. Sore backside. Ears ringing from all that revving.

Thunderstorm Ramblings

"It's easy to betray a man when the memory of his face has faded." I got this from an Iris Johansen Book, the Lion Bride.

Well, I'm not exactly betraying him, because there is nothing to betray. But I'm realizing that as the days pass and the lack of communication continues, the "yearning" is also fading. I no longer look for him, wanting to talk to him, or know whatever little new tidbit there is in his life. The mermory of his face has faded.

On other fronts:

Weather: Still bad. I can see Manila Bay from here and it's a scary sight. If I'd been courageous enough, I'd go to the roofdeck and take pictures. But as I have left my camera at home, and the wind is strong enough to blow me away, I'd rather stay safe and cozy at my little nook here at the office, where I have a good view of the storm outside.

Gym: Postponed yet again due to bad weather. Still in need of serious thigh workouts.

Diet: Can't give up rice. No way. The days of Atkins are over. Slowly going back to my oatmeal breakfast.

Boys: Nil. make that NIL

Studies: 4 more subjects to go.

Driving: 5 more hours to go.

Life in general: I'd give it 3 stars (out of five)

Bad Weather Induces Boredom

This morning, I almost drowned due to the bad weather...Hehehe. An exaggeration, of course, but I did manage to get to work dripping and looking like I drowned. The FX I was riding broke down and I had to get off in the middle of a lonely MH del Pilar and wait for another FX. It didn't help that my umbrella (which I hurriedly bought for a measely 50 bucks at Star Mall last Saturday before heading off to Patty's, hehehe) was small and couldn't hold its own against the strong winds...Ahh, and the office guard had the temerity to ask me, with a big, big Cheshire cat grin: "Nabasa kayo, ma'am?" (Did you get wet, ma'am?) Err, no...I just came from my bath. Duh.

Of course, as usual, work was suspended at 1 pm, but we were allowed to go home at only around 2 pm. I decided to ignore the temptation to go to the mall and spend whatever moolah I've left (Yehey!) and got free ride care of Cathy. Hehehe. Slept until dinner time...I was telling Rhandz in my letter that "ah, what I wouldn't give for more nap time"...Got my wish!

So now, bored at home. Did some time with my Korean vocabulary lessons. Slowly getting the hang of typing hangeul. Memory still poor. Craving for some ice cream. Yech!

Anyhow, the bad weather is bed-inviting. But I have to resist if I want to sleep peacefully throughout the night...The bed looks to cozy though....

Patty's Birthday and Eoni's 1st Meeting with Ninang

Finally! I resurrected and made a (brief) appearance at Patty's d-day. I came from class and had to rush to Quiapo to buy a 1Gb memory stick for the camera, which I will use to take pics of my loveable little niece the next day.

So, it was a reunion (of sorts) for the TEC. Hehehe. Long gone were the days of Amber's pichi pichi and b-b-que and pancit (typical GT fares). We had spagetti and hotdogs and cakes. What I missed most was the chikka and the warmth of my TEC buds.

And here's a pic of a fully-clothed Eoni. Mouth closed. All cleaned up. Without the umbilical cord.

Don't laught at these:

U fel cguro wat i'm fell w/u? Yon ang 22o.

Wer frnd and 2be strng ha! Never changes.

Because these are real, true messages I recently received.

Meet the Newest Kapamilya...

On this corner...weighing 6 pounds...
Measuring 19 inches in length and 46 cms head diameter...
Wearing nothing but her birthday suit
And wailing...
Truly her mother's child...

Marygwen Hermione Obillo Nalzaro.

Finally, after two days of labor which ended in a c-section...Eoni was born. July 2, 2006.

When the entire world was anxiously waiting for the (delayed) telecast of Pacquiao vs. Larios Mano- a- Mano, we were rooting for another [soon to be] heavyweight champion.

So, cheers! To my parents - they're brand new and true grandparents now.

To me and my dongsaeng - we're new aunts! he he he

To my unni - Well, you're now a mother.

And to Kuya Jing - now, you've got yourself another "Wheng"...
