To Nica, Merci, Marga,Stacy and Nei,
I know we're supposed to update each other through our blogs, but I haven't been up to it lately. I've read yours occasionally though.

I haven't been able to reply lately. Mostly because my only source of internet nowadays is through my office terminal. And lol, the internet is sloooooow. And buggy. Sure it's unrestricted, but a few months of having to wait a few minutes to just read an article helps you resign to just doing your work. Pretty sneaky, huh? But work's been pretty interesting so far, at least by now I don't feel that I'm being paid for doing nothing anymore.
Hmmm. What else have I been upto?
I Bring Pandamonium! My Panda Phone Chain, LG Flippy and Loreal Lipstick in Glittering Cherry.
But obviously, this is all and only about the Panda.
I have an old new phone. Just in time for the shockofalifetime, my dad had my old LG flippy fixed. My sister and I were doing our holiday shopping (or more aptly HER holiday shopping, as I was broke for the holidays, go figure.) when she dropped my phone in a carpark somewhere. Some nice guy returned everything, her cards, her ID's...except my phone's already been run over by a car. Lol. I need a new phone...but alas. Brokeness.
Little Big Kids. My Uncles Oscar and George playing Little Big Planet on the PS3.
I spent most of my New Year playing Little Big Planet with my cousins and siblings. Only, bad news kind of set in at the start of the year because my brother Andrew got sick with Dengue and we had to rush him to the hospital. I spent an entire week being worried sick and another week of leaving work extra early because I had to help out. I had to pay my electricity bills then so I was doubly troubled. Ian and Kuya JP bought Andrew's much needed groceries instead. Sometimes it's when you're on the border of nothingness when you realize the blessings you have and how the people around you that care. Even though this always happens to me, this kind of lesson always comes fresh and meaningful.
Slurp!
I know I've posted a few times about poochie before, but I've never really been able to post a picture. So here she is. :) Poochie is a toy poodle (like Ikuta Toma's dog). As you can see, she's grown her hair back, and she's happy to see you.
New Year, New Baby
This is my nephew, Kyle. Kuya Allan's first born son. Even though sometimes he seems kind of overrated, (being only capable of lying down and crying and fine....sometimes burping) he's a mild example of a little bundle of joy. The Family's not had a baby since say, 11 years ago, and little Kyle here brought people (who would normal ignore each other) to be engaged in a normal, peaceful conversation.
This was how we spent our Christmas day:
Airsoft Noob. I'm probably even holding that gun the wrong way.
No pun intended.
Go Cart. Nico, Ate Cathy and I.
Timid Troopers.
We might look like we're set to kill, but really, it was the referee who probably had his blood boiling because for the first few minutes, no one was firing anything. lol. That's this picture ---> a heavilly armed bunch of chickens.
Ate Cats.
I've been renting out with my sister Catherine these days, so I don't stay in the Mother Ship (a.k.a the Kapitolyo Ancestral House) anymore. As much as the newfound freedom (? or slavery under the sister lol...) sounds awesome, I'm struggling with the payment of bills. I'm under a new level of brokeness. I do actually miss the people at home, so my schedule every morning is to walk back to the Mother Ship to visit my grandparents and prepare my lunch before I go to work. Usually my Aunt gives me a ride to the station. Then going home, my parents pick me up back at the station whenever they can.
This is my cousin Nico and her boyfriend Mark pigging out on my Aunt's cooking. I just took these pictures because I was trying the foreground blur.
Happy Chinese New Year!
I'm supposed to be unlucky this year, sigh. Well it's definitely something I'm not looking forward to. I mean if the other years were supposed to be okay, what more this year? Gaaah. I don't want to think about it.
I've been using my Aunt's camera, and I'm experimenting using my sister and my cousin Nico as Guinea Pi---errr Subjects. Sorry for the unedited photos. No Photoshop where I uploaded these but paint did the resizing anyway. =)
