Me - now

2008-09-14T23:00:00.001+08:00

Since my life's l0ng, winding and r0ugh r0ad, here's me. I smile differently, my eyes haven't smiled, my hair w0nt lay straight. I don't lo0k like me anym0re.
  Do i lo0k older than my age? (Im in my mid-late 20's).
Do i lo0k sadder? Tired?
  This was taken by my s0n this aftern0on.

Last Tuesday morning hubby, ziggy and me went to Loyola Memorial Park for a little visit.

My Lola - "Ma", it was supposed to be her 81st birthday last Tuesday

My lolo - Tang. I've been making it a point that i visit his grave once a week since he died less than 2 months ago... I still miss him every now and then.

My son. i have no idea what he was doing here... Dancing??

The heart tree! i love this tree. my grandparents' grave lie by the path to this tree. right where i'm taking the picture. I've always noticed it looks like a heart. wouldn't you agree??

A real Stud!

2007-03-17T05:09:00.000+08:00

Me together with some colleagues had to go to the Quezon City Hall last monday to attend an awarding ceremony right after their flag ceremony. The story of that is too boring to blog about. What i'm really raving about are these studs!! Studebakers used as presidential cars by both Manuel Quezon and Macapagal. Pretty cool! I didn't realize they were HUGE!

2007-03-10T21:18:00.000+08:00

1st rain of the year

2007-02-28T06:53:00.000+08:00

It's been suddenly extremely hot the past 2 weeks after we've joyfully welc0med the extended christmas chill until mid-feb.
Over the weekend we had sweet gentle raindrops for the whole aftern0on. First rain of the year, I believe.
I love rain. This particular one was perfect on a lazy sunday afterno0n.

This is the horiz0n one wouldnt see on his commute in the middle of the day or at least anytime between 7am and 9pm.
I went to w0rk at 10pm last night and had to head h0me before 7 to avoid thursday coding. Here's the wonderful and refreshing horizon fr0m the end of the Quezon Ave underpass to the QC circle. Pretty neat. Check out the other two pics i to0k while driving. (O0ops! Yeah, while driving... I had to0! :-))

Keeping me awake

2007-01-26T01:15:00.000+08:00

This is my sanctuary when late night meetings and c0nference calls require me to stay awake for m0re than 24hrs. Aahh... Just the sweet ar0ma of coffee brewing wakes me up!

Stress relief

Chocolate chip oatmeal co0kies. Found its original recipe from www.allrecipes.com altered it a teeny bit and voila! My specialty.ü. My colleagues love it, my parents, sisters, cousins and hubby loved it the 1st time i tried it! After a couple of times that my hubby brought s0me to w0rk, i started receiving orders! I wasn't even selling them! Hehehe best c0mpliment ever. I love co0king & baking so imagine h0w i felt with that kind of affirmation. Want to try one? ;)

Christmases Past

2006-12-26T01:26:00.001+08:00

We call her Apo Sic, im n0t sure how her nickname became such. She's my favorite lola. Always quiet, loves watching her grandchildren play, sing, dance or even sleep. She is the pers0n who sh0wed me h0w much fun c0oking can be and h0w its n0t about precisi0n but intuiti0n and inn0vati0n. She always made me delicious meals when i used to stay in pampanga 0n weekdays when i didnt have a yaya. She's my favorite 'yakap' when going to bed.

0ne of the reas0ns why I hated lahar so much when it literally ate our t0wn is because my grandparents lived there forever.. Have built their family there and i have my f0ndest m0st wonderful childho0d mem0ries there - with my grandparents. They n0w live in a subdivisi0n where their garden is the fr0nt of their gate, their whole h0use is of c0ncrete and n0 m0re 'silong' - under the h0use with the co0l co0l breeze and the swing my grandfather made out of r0pe and a piece of 'katsa'

Christmas for me is just n0t the same anym0re. I always wish my tuts and ziggy c0uld see and experience that town i grew up in. How i w0uld do everything i can to bring it back m0st especially for my grandparents...

It would b wonderful to see my y0unger cousins experience my childho0d. Have a Christmas where we literally walk the entire town greeting everybody a Merry Christmas and having trinkets and a taste of each home's specialty. Hmm.. the suman, biringhe, tidtad, kilayin... I get back to my grandparents' house with all sorts of trinkets and tons of coins or small bills in my little purse then me, my sister and cousin would count everything and compare how much each of us had!

Alas... 10 years ago, nature ruined my most favorite place during Christmas. *sigh*

Holiday greetings!

2006-12-25T23:12:00.001+08:00

May you all be blessed year r0und - love, arch, hazel and ziggy. :-*
