ohissa
so, apparently, my last post was just before halloween??
the updates:
* i did actually win "best costume" at work, with my crappy gingerbread man costume... which i hand-sewed from top to bottom (including gloves! and cover for my shoes! XD)
* last time i posted, the oldest of my dad's siblings had passed away... a little over a month later, the oldest of my mom's siblings also passed away... she's the one *i* most look like.. and i'm ever so much closer to her than i was with my uncle. i was her favorite niece... she encouraged me to read when everybody else was telling me to stop reading so much when i was younger. i am thankful that my work let me go for a bit... and i am thankful for my husband, chibi_ginn for being so supportive. my mom and i ended up hopping on the first plane we could get on back to the philippines. (he wanted to go, too, but we couldn't afford all three of us...) i'll stop for here now... it's been two months since... but thinking a bit on it still makes me want to cry.
* i have a new title, as of the beginning of the year: systems analyst. i have a new job description, but i don't really think my bosses even know what that means.
* my mom and my sister are on good terms again... although i just got into a fight with my mom over downton abbey... (inorite... downton abbey, wut!? XD)
* have now watched all of doctor who (awesome), dollhouse (got better and better, but short-lived), and better off ted (hilarious, but also short-lived) on netflix... i now know who portia di rossi is, and i think she's gorgeous. ;p am now also watching supernatural (crazily enough, i'm trying it because i remembered kazuki saying he liked the show... XD;)
* i'm behind on katou kazuki releases, all the way back to october.. and it's making me antsy. ^^;;
* MU being down has really put a damper on. quite de-motivating.
* i rejoice that gay marriage is now legal in my state... although now we're waiting for the antis to try to get 120,000 signatures for a referendum to go to the ballot. i hope they don't.
* chibi_ginn is still looking for a job. the market is really tough right now. on the other hand, i'm stressed out... and my entire team is going nuts... but it's good to be needed right now.
* we'll be heading out to hawaii for about 3.5 days in march to witness one of my former dorm-mates getting married. :) (i'll also get to see my cousin so that should be loads of fun. ♥)
* got to babysit my coworker/friend's baby at 6 months... so much different from 3 weeks. but still amaenbou.
