Alive again
2009-01-23 02:17:00
I know I’ve been on and off here. I don’t even say why… let’s say that; we were still recuperating from the last holidays and some unexpected things happen to us. Due to these, I have to be off for some time. Let me assure you, it not all bad.Now, we are back to normal yet some new routines should be implemented to all of us. And everybody in this shack is willingly doing their part. On that, I’m so grateful to all of them.Perhaps, I should fill in some of the gaps later on. Before that… I thank you for your constant visit. I would do my best to do the same....
 
Shot on the spot

You must be wondering what’s on my system doing this tag given by Lyn of Irishdaisies. I haven’t posted my photo in here since I’ve started blogging. “Lyn, My guts must be up now…showing that.” My usual morning state. That’s what every...
 
Hooked up with Virtual Regatta
2008-12-04 04:34:00
These passed days aside from my normal sched, which I’m having difficulties on coping up. I’ve taken another more time consuming to keep me until February by playing virtual regatta.It’s D’man fault! He was the first one, who‘s playing it, a week earlier than I. He’s also got the fever of it from his colleagues & his boss their none-stop talking about it, that made him join. From then on, He kept on checking that made me curious what it is. Then, telling me that it’s actually virtual game but it fallows the real route of the Vendée Globe; it’s a single-handed sailing yacht race around the world. That got me, too.I didn’t start from the beginning of the race which was the 9th of Nov. I was late almost 2 weeks. And it gives a price of 10,000 Euros. I know, I won’t be...
 
Astonishing offer
2008-12-02 03:57:00
Whenever I received some kindness through offering me a help made me really so happy. It shows that there are still beautiful people still living and ready to extend their hand to help. On this knowledge I felt safer and content for my kids. I’m ge...
 
Survival Instinct
2008-09-20 02:40:00
In every one of us we have this instinct of survival that sometimes we didn’t know or care if it’s good for everyone’s concern. This instinct could sometimes cloud someone’s good judgment and unfortunately someone is getting hurt.And for those merely spectators some could conclude harshly or unjustly. What more for the one in the mid of it, who happens to be in a wrong place and time. This type of situation where we are at present, regarding my eldest son’s activity.He was not informed that the club where he is with has fewer players on his division this school year. He was asked to sign before end of school year, stating that he will continue playing there this year without informing him, that a lot have moved out or stop doing basket. Then, last summer he was informed by his fr...
 
Ready to pick up my last stride
2008-09-08 07:56:00
Nearly 3 months, I haven’t posted anything because it was vacation time of my children. It was our time to visit places, enjoy outdoor activities without looking like a mummy wrapped, getting invited & having invitees at home. Those are my reasons, why I was not active in here. And I do apologize on not saying a word or two.Now, my kids are happily backed to school. And I, back to my old couch and starts pretending that there nothing else to do (like cleaning) but sit & read. I’m thinking that it’s about time to catch up with you. I know that I have loads of readings ahead of me though, it would be a pleasure to know, what you‘ve been doing these past last months.And to those who have visited me here; Thank you, I do appreciate it so much....

Forgetful as my new adjective
2008-06-09 17:59:00
I’ve been racing these past few months. I always felt that I’m always behind of my need to do list & all. Sometimes, I even forget some of my appointments. I know, I should just write them down. And I do BUT I always misplaced my agenda book. If not for Lareine , sometimes I would have forgotten to pick up my kids in the school on the right time or miss some of my appointments. I make sure that she is aware of them(my rdv) coz she can remember them than I. and she’s so kind to remind me. See, how lucky I am to have a great friend like her.It was last two or three weeks that I have messed up the birthdays of my friends’ kids. And I assure you; this is not the first time. I ended up whining over the phone to her (Lareine), forcing her to spit out my weekly schedule and at the sam...
