what's up?

it's been ages since i updated this blog, you might think i've had a lot of adventures by now. well, no.

what have we been up to?

since july 2009, there hasn't been much change. just a few minor tweaks of emotion here and there.

• hubby started to play online games less, which is good.
• my migs had a fun time during halloween, his costume was a muscular batman.
• work was the same - I was much less nervous about presentations in the past few months. although there are quite a few changes that will happen in the next few weeks, i will reserve that for another post until there is something more definite.
• christmas was spent at my brothers' place, had major drama on christmas eve but family is family.
• new year was much better - my migs still doesn't like fireworks so he spent the new year with ear covers.
• still having issues with the in-laws but, they're still family, not much i can do about it. patience is a virtue - something i remind myself of, everyday.
• yaya left because of an incident in the household, yaya came back after two weeks. couldn't stand being away from her alaga.
• my migs had his first christmas presentation in school. caught him picking his nose on video. kodak moment!
• spent my birthday with my 2 boys. nothing fancy.
• watched avatar in 3d - 1st time to watch something in 3d. a little dizzy at first but got used to it.
• missing my dad - 7th year since he passed away.
• my migs going on a field trip on friday. will go with him. exciting!

that's about it. i'll update about what's going on with work sometime in march when i know more.

something i remembered

it's funny how, when you're young, you think that some things are more important and you find things you can't live without. only realizing when you're older that it was so trivial and there are far more important things to think of.

i just remembered, out of the blue, that i cried over this board game:


yes, i was a big fan of sweet valley high books way way back then. and when i saw this board game, i fell in love with it. not even seeing the contents, just the box made me want to ask my dad to buy it for me. of course, he wouldn't let me since it cost something like P800 which was a big amount sometime 1988. so i cried for days, until he finally bought it for me.

funny thing is, i never got to play with it. i opened it, checked out the contents and never really played with it. well first, it was for 2 or more players. second, my brothers never wanted to play with a girl board game so it was left stuck in a closet somewhere. now, looking back at my 11 year old self, i smile and think "what was i thinking?!"
