Really. The Heat-er is still ON! It's almost the end of May and our building apartment still has it's freakin' heater on! And at night! I am literally "grillin'" mad about it! But I should stop shouting, right?!
Honestly, the past few days I've been worried how come each time I come home, I start coughing my brains out (not exaggerating here- but I think I almost lost some of it in the sink). I've been wondering like crazy - trying the process of elimination what could I possibly be allergic to. And even to the point of getting a doctor's appointment for it. Each time I get bouts of coughism (okay, this word I just made up), I thought I will be laid to rest pretty soon! Talk about paranoia! (Shouting again..)
Niweys, I know the culprit of all this mayhem. The heater!. I am allergic to the kind of heat they use in this building. Enough of the problem. Let's focus on the solution, shall we?
Windows in the bedroom open?- check. Windows in the kitchen - open? Check. In the Living Room? Check. In the bathroom? Check. Dining area? Check. Okay. Now, the whole apartment windows are open - open for all the pollution - noise and whatever type you can think of. Called the building super? Check.
Geez, I am just typing away here and I just took a shower and I am sweatin'.
Pleeeease! somebody save me!

Enjoying the not-so-long weekend
On this wet, windy Saturday, I have been contemplating on what I will do for this long weekend. Should I turn the apartment upside down? Should I make upside down cake? Or should I learn to stand upside down? Hmm...too many choices!
In the meantime, I thought and pondered until I ended up sleeping! What a day! Everybody deserves a break...including me...and you, my furry friends...
So, while I enjoy this long weekend doing whatever it is I will decide on doing...I found this video of (my new favorite) Cher.
Oh c'mon, aren't you feeling the 80's???

Feels Like Dorothy
Yesterday was a verrrry windy day. Did you get blown away?
Good thing I live in the city. Can you imagine living in the countryside with all that space? Why am I full of questions this morning? How come I can't stop asking so many questions? Can you see it? Do you notice it? Can you help me stop doing this? Can you PLEEEEASE help me stop asking you so many questions? Pleeeease???
PSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSST. sTOP.
(Sigh) That was close.
Must be the effect of the twister-like effect of yesterday's wind. Yay!
Anywho, I am off to tidying up the mess I made in the kitchen this morning. Well, not really so much of a mess but the stuff I used in making those muffins.Yep, they were gooood. Hey, you should know me by now!
In the meanest while (see I made that up, instead of meanwhile, I put in "meanest" - not to be mean but just something a bit different today -okay STOP).Whew! Here's a clip for you to enjoy. Don't forget the red shoes, Toto!

Tuesday Specials
Today is Tuesday. A special Tuesday. No work Tuesday. No school Tuesday.
Ahhh...life!
Back to earth. I realized I have a lot of things to do today. Laundry.Cooking.Baking.Tidying Up.Going to PO.Some Shopping. and a whole-lot-a-domestic-duties.
Ahhh...the realities of life!
Why can't we just live in a dream? Or maybe we are living in a dream...Who knows?
I remember my physics teach'r in high school, he told us a "profound" scenario which made us think and ponder (that he's nuts) - he said, 'what if you are riding the bus, you look out the window and you perceive that you are moving WHEN the world around you is actually moving and you are stationary?' For some reason, of all things he taught us - that's one of two things that I still remember.(The other one being, he looked at my watch intensely - until he realized that there's a tiny spider spinning around the clock -afterwhich he asked me -'are you spiderwoman?')
Okay back to Tuesday. I love tuesdays. Not only does it come after Monday - which is usually a toxic day. Tuesday may be a bit of a drag (like you can't see Friday from tuesday) but it's a sign you got through Monday.
It's funny how things work out.
Ha!

BFF names through THE YEARS...
It's 12 past 2 am and I am laying here while watching the last 2 episodes of Dresden Files, my mind is also typing away - my fingers are a little slow to catch up.
Anywho, I've decided to share with you the names of my bestfriends - ones I can still remember since I was 7. Here we go:
In grade school: Jennifer, Abigail, Joanna, Jenny, Lyvia, Carol, Rosalie, Arlyn
In High school: Cathy, Charina, Jennifer, Myla, Antonette, Leah, Joshelle, Heizel, Gina, Ivy, Rizza, Leonor, Aileen, Anna, Sheila, Claudine, Joanne, Joy, and Tinky.(I went to an all girls school, in case you're wondering why all girls names)
In College: Abby, Raquel, Joy (I started dating during those years so I was kinda busy - plus some of my bffs in high school carried on til college days)
During my first year at SOLAIR : Janine, Malu, Mel, Mon
And when I started working, and I mean really working in various companies and different industries, I also met a lot of interesting and nice people who has touched my life in one way or another. And some names I can recall: Jing, Wini, Alessa, Olivier, Lil, Mercy, Raffie, Bobeck, Jane, Bunny, Scheilla, Maya, Nona.
And for the last 6 years, some of the above names still exists inside my circle - we may not be talking everyday, but you know that you will be there for each other NO MATTER WHAT.
Latest names are: Esther, Bing, Denise, Mary Rose, James, and Annette.
I'm pretty sure I've forgotten some names (called old age),like the friend I have in college who'd always share a laugh or two and draws a caricature of our Rizal& History professor. Maybe tomorrow her name will dawn on me..
Okay, this post is going nowhere now, it's half past and it's late. (for what?)
I suppose I didn't do too bad in choosing and making friends along the way, huh?
And I am sure most of you are as excited as I am when you meet new people in your life. It's always a good feel. Trust me.

Can't think of a Title for this Post
Yesterday, a co-worker asked me how long have I been in Mo'ryal. Our conversation went this way:
Me: since 2003
Co-worker: Really?? (looked at me surprised)
Me:(confused) ya, why?
Co-Worker: Well, I just thought you were here longer than that
Me: (more confused) Uhmm, why'd you say that?
Co-Worker: Coz u know a lot of things, a lot of things around here..
Me: (beyond confused now) Oh.
End of conversation.
That conversation got stuck in my mind for a few hours (well, actually just a few minutes with an hour interval - then things got busy).
Why do people "assume" that just because you haven't been in a place for at least a decade, you "should" know only a little bit.
When I got here, not too many people (in my circle of life) know that I fell in love with the city. All the different cultures, the vibrant feel during the summer, the relentless noise of firetrucks passing by (don't forget the sirens of cop cars), the different faces you see each time you walk down the street. I mean, it amazed me then and still amazes me now. Yay, did I just confess here about my feelings??
Almost 7 years ago, I travelled to a totally different country with open arms. I don't know what will happen but I was open to whatever comes my way. I was ready to make a change in my life. Okay, not crying here. And part of that change is learning not just to adapt but to appreciate and respect others' cultures other than my own. Call me adaptable! Ha!
And who knows maybe in another few years, I will be ready to make more changes in my life.
It's not easy but sure a hell of a lot worth it.
Don't get teary-eyed now....it's my speech for the day. In the meantime, I need to cook that beef stroganoff.

Some Exciting Newness
I have a new project coming up. Not really new but NEW since I am doing this BIG project with a NEW friend. My hopes are high but I know that careful planning is key to success. And so, we are carefully planning each detail, each move we are going to take.
I like new projects. But I love it when somebody else shares the same passion (or okay, let's make it simpler - interests) as me. And honestly, a project has more potential of taking off and being a success if you are not doing it by yourself. (Because if you're like me, something comes up and you end up losing interest and poof! project's gone!) So having somebody with you to remind you of your goals is a very good thing.
For quite a few years now, I have been secretly wishing of doing such similar project. Ha! And you think I'd say details in here eh? Think again! Of course, those of you who's been in constant touch with me knows what the hell I am talking about -
Seriously, I just wanted to share my excitement - it has kept my mind awake (in very late nights) thinking and planning and even daydreaming of what could become of it! Isn't that exciting?!!
Life is short my furry friends, and I am bound to make the best of it. If not, at least make a difference in this world. You'll never know how you can make a dent in the next world.
Anyways, it's almost 1 am and without a doubt - a new day awaits. Another day to be excited about. Another chance to learn and plan and keep hopes high.
Keep your chin up, my furry friends. Life is good!

2 Cher or NOT 2 Cher
I stumbled on an old cd of Cher in Sue's collection. I decided to put it on my mp3, knowing that I will delete it anyway. (I never really KNEW if I was gonna like Cher or not).
It was in the mid-80's I started listening to music or more of paid attention to songs, artists and tuning in to the radio. And Cher? Hmm...I never really paid attention to her. All I know she's one of those artists that was making waves and I couldn't care less to surf.
Anywho, this cd called Heart of Stone - one week after - is still in my mp3 and what d'ya know! I listen to it like almost every freakin' time I put on those plugs! It can be addictive, like coffee in the morning, like marshmallows, like meringues...like..like...nutella on toast....yummm...
Back to earth.
So, in case I don't scribble anything here this week...I found this video on Youtube - which you my furry friends might like too...hey, never say NE'VA!
