For the friend who always remembers my birthday. Like, always!

For the friend who understands how it is to be married. How it is to be a parent. How it is to be… just be. Hahaha! :)

I love you Abeth! Thanks for the many wonderful meaningful talks we get to have about shitty things like marriage and parenthood. Hahaha.

Housework Therapy

The past days has been what? Either all about going out or staying home lazing all day. I have not been blogging, I have not been doing anything substantial and yet the days and hours seem to pass me by so fast. What is up with that?

Last night, we did a marathon of Glee episodes. At least those we have not been able to watch yet. All the way to Sectionals. Oh how I love Glee….

Guess this means you’re sorry
You’re standing at my door
Guess this means you take back
All you said before…


‘Cause we belong together now
Forever united here somehow
You got a piece of me and honestly…
My life would suck without you!

Glee marathon pretty much used up all our evening and resulted to our getting to bed late, which pretty much resulted to my getting up late. So this morning I was up much later than usual and found myself feeling much lazier than usual. So I thought, I should do something about this laziness. How about some housework therapy to jump start my day?

I was sweeping and scrubbing the floor when I thought about my days in El Nido. We used to tease each other about our loneliness coping mechanisms. We knew Teacher Joy was feeling down if she was scrubbing the floor, mopping it first with soapy water before applying wax and then scrubbing to make the floor brand-spanking shiny. We knew Teacher Grace had the blues when our bathroom was gleaming white even in the darkness of the tiny green light bulb. Everyone knew I was feeling sad when they saw me shoveling the drainage free of trash. Housework therapy. Nothing like a good sweat to make you feel full of energy. Or at least enough energy (or filth) to make you want to take a shower. Sometimes we feel so down and lazy, we don’t even want to take a bath.

Now that the house is clean (and so am I), I found the time and energy (this morning I was feeling too lazy to even sit here in front of this laptop) to sit down and work on some photos I need to post. Maybe I would find it in me too to finally set up my Ovi suite since I haven’t been able to make my Nokia 5360 work for me just yet. Or maybe finally use the Bamboo Fun tablet that is right now still sitting prettily in its box.

Bamboo Fun on Lia's puzzle rubber mat

There is a party tonight. There will be a party on Sunday night. Wow, I’m all about attending parties lately. I am loving this season.

I took Lia out for a walk to Canberra St. last Monday. Actually I went to check on my dress for my friend’s wedding. Seamstress wasn’t there. I was told she went to Bacolod and would not be back until the 21st. I did not get to see my dress. I’m thinking it hasn’t been sewn yet. :|

I took Lia to the mall with me yesterday. I needed to get a new moisturizer for my face. It’s this blasted cold weather. I also needed to get Ascof tablets for this ridiculous cough that has been giving me the headaches. Too much coughing makes my head and back ache. It’s this blasted cold weather too. We passed by a couple of shoe stores that reminded me I don’t have shoes to go with the dress just yet. Well, actually, I don’t have the dress yet.. so to hell with the shoes. I am almost worried now.
