I’m thinking of creating a Facebook account for my little girl. She has too many photos and I want to keep it in one place and share those with relatives and friends. Flickr only allows you to upload a certain number of photos a month and you have to pay a fee to upgrade. Facebook is free so I might just create one for her. Anyway, check out anne a lay apostle’s profile and add her while you’re there.
I think I’ve received about 2 wedding invitations this month from a relative and one from a friend. Who says June is the wedding month? I think February is not the love month for nothing and most couples decide to get hitched during this month. Why? Well, for one the weather is perfect for garden weddings and receptions. There are less chances that your most important event as a couple would be rained out. And second, it’s just more romantic. I would choose February or December to get married and not June. But guess what? I got married in June.
Anyway, the wedding invitations I got are quite different. My relative chose to go for the more convenient but nevertheless beautiful digital wedding invitations. Hers was so colorful. The couple decided to incorporate the motif of the wedding into the invitations and it worked out well. My friend, on the other hand, went for old-fashioned letterpress wedding invitations that are making a comeback. The invitations were so dainty and they seemed to come straight from another era. I think couples would soon catch up with this trend. I don’t know if they are more expensive but wedding is a once in a lifetime thing.
I’m not a fan of big vehicles but I would surely want to drive one someday. My sister actually drives one and everyone seems to be amazed when she emerges from her pick-up all girly and fragile. No one would ever guess that she’s driving a monster pick-up but she likes her ride and would never give it up for a sedan. Not in a million years. She even wanted to put a performance chip so the overall ride is amped. I asked her if she would want to enter any contest or something. She said no.
Yep, that’s my sister. Her choices don’t fit her but that’s what makes her unique. I won’t be surprised if one day her vehicle would have a cat back exhaust or an air intake I keep hearing her talk about. Her husband just scratches her head whenever my sister wants something done with the pick-up. He might be thinking enough already but knowing my sister, she won’t stop until she gets what she wants.
She said adding all these will make her car perform better. She has been checking out RealTruck.com for things she could buy for her precious truck. Anyway, I should probably make some changes or additions to my own car.
The earth could no longer wait for people to do something about global warming and other environmental issues. Mother earth is already making us feel the effects of our wrong doing with harsher climate changes, drought in some parts of the world, more destructive storms and earthquakes and food shortage. It’s scary. It’s a good thing there is the Green Police to help more people become aware of the need to do something about the environment. This year the Green Police will help organizers of the Glastonbury Festival create a cleaner and greener festival. So watch out for it!
About moving, quite a few people were asking me last week if I knew of Moving Companies Los Angeles. I’m not really from Los Angeles although my sister and her family have lived there for 20 years now So when I asked her if she of any Moving Company Los Angeles, she immediately said no. That’s because my sister has not experienced moving since then. She has lived in the very same home she’s occupying now. Lucky for her because it’s a back-breaking, tedious task to and transfer all your things from one house to another. Imagine the packing and unpacking, hauling, cleaning and all the other things associated with moving. They require patience and a good, flexible spine to be able to do all that.
Anyway, I knew of one company in Los Angeles who is an expert in moving. They are one of the first Los Angeles Moving Companies to establish a name for themselves in the business of moving and transfer. Melrose Moving offers superb customer service, free estimates, and professional packing. The company has experienced, professionally trained movers who operate using clean trucks with liftgate & ramp. You can even call them for last minute moving, they would surely accommodate you.
As an admitted movie buff attached to the television almost all day, Avatar couldn’t be more up my alley. The movie is getting good reviews and a friend of mine has even watched it three times. What’s with the movie anyway? It even beat Titanic in ticket sales. The funny thing is James Cameron’s Avatar outgrossing another one of his movies. Avatar seems good except for the odd looks that could very well be trolls in disguise. I don’t know if I love or hate it. Right now as I am so busy doing a myriad of things, I would content myself with a good Video on Rapidshare or a good book when I get a free time in between chores and jobs. The last time I opened a book was last year and the last time I watched a good movie was also last year. It goes to prove that I’ve been working hard. So perhaps in a few weeks or so, I would reward myself with a luxurious spa treatment and a facial. Just thinking about it makes me want to turn off this computer, leave everything as it is, and not worry about the deadlines I have to meet. Not now. But I would surely do all those soon.
I have never done camping. When I was younger, our school would often hold camping activities on the school grounds. I never attended one. It was just not my thing. I was more musically inclined back then and would often lock myself inside my room for hours listening to my favorite bands. Duran Duran was the band I frequently listened to. I had my walls plastered with posters of them as a group. My favorite was Nick Rhodes. Anyway, going back to camping…I wish I tried it sooner. Now that I’m older, it’s so difficult to find time to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. It would be nice to go camping, eat outside, be with the people you love the most, just sitting on those outdoor chairs and talking till the wee hours of the night or morning. I know it’s never too late for anyone to do anything and everything except perhaps having a baby at 50. I don’t even know if it’s possible. Yeah, it’s never too late. I might just schedule a camping trip on my birthday or in the summer when the weather is perfect for camping. I’m quite we wouldn’t be rained out.
I am trying not to hyperventillate every time I think what is in store for me this year. This is the year that would make or break me. It’s all happening… Everything and more. And I can’t help but be scared. I’m doing everything for my family now. This is the year that I mature. That I become a parent not only in title but also in deed. I only have two years more before I turn forty. And when I think about it, I panic. I don’t have enough savings. I don’t have a steady job. And I don’t know what I’m doing in so far as finances are concerned. Lord, help me get through all this for my kids.
It’s so nice to just stay home and do nothing. We had plans of going out of town and sitting by the pool all day but we’re all feeling a bit tired and sleepy. My father threw a party last night and we all had chores to do and it was not easy preparing food for 50 guests or more. I got my first headache and itchy throat after two or three months of good health. We must have gone home around 3am and practically slept all morning.
I think I need a new bed. I kept tossing and turning this morning. I was asleep but I also knew that I was half awake. It was just so weird. I need to check some beds for sale this week. I can’t afford not to sleep well. I have so many things to take care of up until my birthday next month. I’m actually very excited about the events coming up next month. My little girl will have her first out-of-town field trip and first public performance. Meanwhile my son, who’s turning 20 this year, now have plans of getting a doctorate degree in Physical Therapy. His mind changes all the time. Anyway, we’ll see what his mind comes up with next month. That’s all for now. Enjoy what’s left of the weekend. I know I’ll sleep through it. =)
It felt great to get back to regular blogging this week after almost a month of haphazard posts. Thanks for waiting out the laziness and the holidays with me!
You may have noticed the lack of posts over the past week. one sizeable change here over the past week. Anyway, after ten years of no decent vacation, I finally had one last Christmas. Now it’s time to take things in a fresher direction and perspective. I think I’ve had enough rest and it’s now back to regular programming. But the weird thing is I’m now tempted to look at cheap flights online. I want another island vacation. . One that is decidedly more relaxed and longer. So stay tuned to see if I take another vacation. I promise to try not to disappoint with a lack of posts again.
Or if I can wait, I want to have another vacation this summer. But I will be booking for a flight as early as now. From my experience, booking early would guarantee sure seats. Not only that, when you book early, you have more choices.
Anyway, I think I deserve another vacation. I’ve been working hard and a vacation near the ocean is my reward to myself. I wish the whole family would join me just like last Christmas.
