Holiday

Holy Week break day 2. I am still sitting in front of the computer because I really need to get working on 2 mock-ups for two entirely different projects that I'm excited to do. Also, I have missed leisurely surfing (hello, Tumblr queue. We meet again!) as I haven't done so the past month. Work has been eating me up, but that's not to say I don't enjoy it. (:

I want to make cupcakes because it's been a while since I've shoved an entire Kahlua cupcake into my mouth—frosting and all. But when Ate Elena was defrosting the refrigerator, I noticed that I'm down to my last cup and a half of flour and the milk carton has been sitting there longer than it should be.

In an effort to write more about what's happening in my life (because sometimes, I forget about all the good things), I will revive this blog. Hopefully, you'll see me here again tomorrow. With lots of happy thoughts and maybe some cupcakes.

Flamers

I admit, I love reading the comments sections of sites like Pep or Perez. I get a good laugh, that's all. But how strange when your own article's comments section is the topic.

I wrote a silly little list of cartoons before there was cable for a sister site. I suggested maybe 15-20 shows and they shortlisted it to 10 that I would write about.

Some people liked it—even shared it in Facebook. I get thrilled when reading comments (good or bad) because it's always nice to see the reaction of people. Then, I saw this very mean comment that called me "stupid." I got bothered because I've never been accused of not doing research or anything like that. I just thought it was out of line.

I just checked again today and there are new comments about stuff that are "missing" in the list. Can you please check if Shaider, Bioman, or Mask Rider Black are cartoons? Because the last time I checked, they weren't. Also, please read before you comment. Geez, Smurfs is part of the list!

Well, if you don't like the list, why don't you go make your own?

The Big Move 2.0

About a year and a half ago, we were getting ready for The Big Move. It never happened. Stuff was moved around from one place to another, but we remained in what we always believed to be "home."

Until Thursday night that is. Sleeping somewhere other than home was strange. We all stayed in one room and it was quiet. There was no television, no computer—no distraction.

It's been a week since and I'm finally staying in "my room." In quotations, because I can't even imagine it as mine, really. It's like it's on loan still. The walls are bare save for some of my cousin's study notes and religious posters. I'm sleeping in my bed (truly mine), but it still feels out of place.

The weekend went by quickly, but the house is now slowly feeling like... well, home.

Now, I'm waiting for space inside to free up so we can setup the oven and I can bake. Maybe that will help make me feel at home. (Well, that and probably some television and Internet. Haha, such a geek.)

A Year of Stories

I did it! (: I definitely wrote more—365 stories more than usual, to be exact. I probably didn't bake as much as I wanted to (*gasp* didn't even bake for the New Year). But seeing as I completed this little project makes me happy.

This year, no promises, no expectations. But lots and lots of love and lots and lots of hope. (:

Happy New Year, lovelies. I hope 2010 will be kind to all of us.

Where did the month go?

I really wish life had a pause button.

It's so busy sometimes, I don't realize that it's been 24 hours already. Sigh.

My 9pm bedtime is long gone. Hope to see you again in 2010!
