2 years
Another year has gone by and I am grateful that I kept track of all my precious moments here. No, it's not my birthday but it's my Blog's 2nd year anniversary. And yes, I did not prepare anything. Shame on me huh?! Same old me--always busy, always hurrying and always keeping up with time. *Lj* has grown and has been very very energetic--hopefully more updates of her soon. And I still need to keep up with Tin's tag hehehe.
Anyway, I don't how to celebrate blog anniversaries but deep in my heart, I want to thank this journal for keeping up with me hehehe. And also to you dear blog friends... for me giving me the reason to blog... giving me strength to overcome challenges... inspiring me to do good... and always reminding me how good Life is.
Let's be grateful that we are alive and well... Thank you everyone.

Yahoo! Photo is closing
I recieved this email from yahoo! photos this afternoon. I wonder why they are closing Yahoo! Photos. Anyway, I've decided to move all my precious photos to Flickr. So to anyone whose still not aware of this, please check your emails and save those photos.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Dear Yahoo! Photos user,
For some time now, we've supported two great photo sharing services: Yahoo! Photos and Flickr. But even good things come to an end, and we've decided to close Yahoo! Photos to focus all our efforts on Flickr ~ the award-winning photo sharing community that TIME Magazine has called "completely addictive."
We will officially close Yahoo! Photos on Thursday, September 20, 2007, at 9 p.m. PDT. Until then, we are offering you the opportunity to move to another photo sharing service (Flickr, KODAK Gallery, Shutterfly, Snapfish, or Photobucket). We're making the transfer real simple, and with a couple clicks we'll automatically move your photos to Flickr or wherever you want them. You can also download your original-resolution photos back to your computer, or buy an archive CD from our featured partner (for users of the New Yahoo! Photos only). All you need to do is tell us what to do before we close, after which any photos remaining on Yahoo! Photos will be deleted and no longer accessible.
Of course, we hope you'll join us at Flickr (you can even use your Yahoo! ID), but we also realize that Flickr may not be for everyone. In the end, we want you to find the service that's right for you, and we hope you take some time to learn more about your options before making this important decision.
Please give us your decision by Thursday, September 20, 2007, at 9 p.m. PDT. After that time, any photos remaining in Yahoo! Photos will be deleted. Click here to make your decision, or review a list of our frequently asled questions.
Thanks for being a part of the Web's largest photo sharing service ~ we hope to see you over at Flickr!
If you have already moved or downloaded your photos, please disregard this message.
The Yahoo! Photos team

TGIF again...
It's Friday again. And I can't deny the fact that I'm getting tired of my usual everyday routine. I want something new. Me and my friends in the office are planning something big, and I call it *The big leap*. I'm already preparing everything I need but I still have doubts. This is a very hard decision for me and I pray to God that He would give me a sign. Please.
On the other hand, God never fails to bless us. I don't want spills the beans yet, but this is something big for me and family. I hope and pray that it'll all work out. Please. Please. All I can say is, that I'm seeing the light again at the end of the tunnel. I'm using all my will power and resources to make this work out. So please pray for us. Thank you God for the unending blessings...

New Banner
Since I don't have the luxury of time to change my template, my sister *finally* emailed me my new banner. Courtesy of *misiaoh*--zitros' vector art guru--she made me a new banner that finally fits. Thank you sis! New banner features the face of my daughter, who always *rocks my world!*
***Aimz~the site you gave is great! Even though I want a 3-column template, I really don't have the time right now. But I have the site--in case I change my mind. Thank you!***

Happy Sunday
I woke up 11am from my sister's voice... we'll have lunch out with my mom's side of the family @ 12:30pm. So I took a bath and fixed *Lj*'s things. We had lunch @ Max's (main)--a family quick get together bcoz my mom's brother and sister-in-law came here from Canada and Dubai for vacation. Lunch was good! Nothing beats Max's chicken! =B After lunch we bought Blizzard's Pecan Cluster in TriNoMa and went home. Both *Lj* and Amandine took a quick nap that afternoon which gave us all a time-out from all their jumping, playing, running and shouting.
Dinner time, we went to The Block for a scrumptious cuisine at Flavours of China. The resto has been the zitros' fav now.
Tomorrow... we'll go to my SIL's place so I have to sleep now.... and oh it's my sister's birthday today.

Wireless weekend
I got out from the office at 5am staring out the road thinking how am I gonna go home with the rain pouring hard. Good thing my mom and papa called and fetched me. Had a 3-hour sleep in the morning, got up and went to SM North to buy some stuff with my sister *M* and her bf. Yes, I finally got a wireless router. And no, it's not linksys or netgear hahaha sorry! I got a D-link wireless-G router (DI-524) =B I also bought ingredients for my white pasta recipe and a gift from my other sister *J*... it's her birthday tomorrow. Anyway, we got home from our rainy shopping trip at 3:30pm. I setup the wireless network and connected immediately with my sister's MAC G4 and my mom's N95. Hahaha! It works! Finally! A wifi network at home. After that, I cooked my white pasta recipe for my sister's dinner party later. I used ribbon pasta--cute huh?! And here I am surfing the net and 30 minutes from now, I'll be preparing for work again. I really hate working during weekends. *sigh*Later tonight, my sister *J* will be coming home... and hopefully my ate will too tomorrow. So everybody can enjoy a wireless weekend.

more....
It's a windy Monday today! Leaves and dusts flying and scattered all over the driveway. Thank God I have the day off today. More of me watching TV, sleeping, playing with *Lj*'s new toys and maybe later hubby and I will watch a movie. Thanks to my free movie pass from work.
Rewind to last Friday.... I went to work that night and should be out Saturday morning but more stress at work, I stayed for another 4-hour for the meeting. I finally got home at 11:30am to fix my things, eat lunch, and rest. I think I only had a 5-minute shut eye. After that, I got up, bathe and fix *Lj*'s things... Then off we go to attend the Christening of my friend's son--Cornell Blues. Such a cute cute boy. After the church ceremony and reception, hubby dropped me off to work. Yes work again! I didn't sleep... at all! I can't imagine how I'd survived that night, but I did.
Sunday morning... I slept for 4-hours. We then fixed our things again and at 12noon hit the road to go to Las Piñas for my pamankin's 3rd birthday. It's Williane Amandine's 3rd swimming party! Talked about bonggang party. Amandine always gets full blast parties... All in all... it was a great day yesterday. *Lj* enjoyed every minute of it.

Anawangin
My friend Malen already posted about our Anawangin trip. So for a detailed kwento, check her post *here*.This is the problem with late posts... I tend to forget *dammit*. But to sum it up, we all had a great time! Anyway.... I'll just post some pictures which highlights our trip.
~ Bus ride... enjoying some music and friendly chats. ~
~ Thrilling boat ride going to our destination... Anawangin. ~
~ The boys just finished setting-up the camp site. ~
~ Picture perfect view from the camp site. ~
~ Next day... Finished breakfast and getting ready for the Island hop. ~
~ Capones Island. It's soo beautiful here! ~
~ We went to the other side of the Island for a taste of underwater adventure. It's my first time... and believe me, it's a whole new world down there! ~
~ Snake Island. Do you see the Island at the back? That's where we all spend the night. ~
This will be the trip that's worth remembering for the rest of my days. Hope to be back there with my hubby, of course... and share the sun set together.
We left the place exactly the way nature wants it.

Yesterday--Sunday... We went to church with Ate jen, Kuya Jojo and Daddy Bonnie @ 9am. We had lunch @ home and packed our things. Ate jen and Kuya Jo dropped us off at our house in QC. *Lj* took a 2-hr nap... That's good. At 4pm, we got dressed and went straight to TriNoMa. *Lj* and I went to Kevin's Toys and Library for 1 hour play time. We met up with hubby and ate dinner together with my parents and sisters. And yes, we had Blizzed (Pecan cluster) and Starbucks! More pounds on my love handles there! We went home @ 9pm. At home, *Lj* kept running and doing her "break dance" thing. Finally @ 10pm we were all sounds asleep.... Zzzzz...
