I always hate it when you are all itching to connect and check out your facebook account and yet you cannot. The most hateful words that I constantly come across with nowadays is :FAILURE TO CONNECT THE SITE YOU ARE REQUESTING TIMED OUT
Ugghhh! good thing I can access my blogger and multiply account- but the rest-Ugghh.
And my subscription indicated that it's broadband -but the speed is suited for a dial up-Ugggghhh.
well, I have to call and check out what gives before these stuff gets all blown out of proportion..

Getting older...
It took me sometime to realize that I have walked this earth for a good thirty four years and counting... I don't feel thirty four-I just look it hehehe. Basically, only my life numbers have changed; I never really took myself seriously-yeah, I'm a mom with two kids, a wife to my Eric, still the stubborn outspoken daughter to my mom, and an overbearing ( or so he thought) sister to my big brother.
Yeah I attend PTA meetings,and do some chores at home, scold the erring child of the moment or both and tutor my 9 year old son if needed. I try to help earn extra money by being a reseller/ personal shopper to my non-internet savvy friends and contacts.
But on my ME time I'm still the same old person who loves computer games, swoon at good and goodlooking actors (now ten-twelve years younger than me) I read books for teens, loves fashion magazines and still play My Farm and Yo Ville on Facebook. My son and I love warcraft and Inca ball; and my daughter and I love to play with her dolls. I don't feel old- actually, I've never felt so young in my life!
now, where did I put my earrings?

Bitten
around S.Meyer's website,
it's a series of fansites but this site caught my attention:
TWILIGHT MOMS
Their myspace profile page read:
*****WARNING***WARNING***WARNING***WARNING***WARNING***WARNING***WARNING***WARNING*****
After visiting this site you may experience side affects such as compulsive internet use, jealous or neglected husband, abandonment of housework and/or children, inability to concentrate at work, increased blushing, overall enthusiasm for life, and amplified Twilight Series Obsession.
*************************************************************************************************
So, you thought you were the only one whose life was turned upside down once you read Twilight...
Your house is a disaster with piles of laundry in every corner and stacks of dirty dishes at record breaking heights. You imagine your husband is a vampire (or werewolf) and have the libido of a newlywed again! You keep convincing yourself that "cold cereal makes a perfectly wholesome dinner" and the pizza delivery boy is now on your Christmas card list. Your children are free to run amuck as long as no one comes to you bleeding...too badly.
Oh, there's guilt alright...but you don't care! You can't tear yourself away from the book and damned be the consequences!
There are more of us out there than I thought. Twilight Series fans in our stage of life need a place to share all our experiences. We need a place where others of "our kind" can relate without having to decipher all the teenage internet code mumbo jumbo like IMHO or OMG!!! (usually a dead givaway that you should be doing your social studies homework for 3rd period instead of playing on the computer) I love all the young girls who are amazingly devoted to Stephenie Meyer's Masterpieces (It was a group of 14/15 year olds that got me to read) however, I find that OUR world of balancing family, work, home, marriage AND...our Twilight obsession is unique and fun. The personal stories and experiences I've heard/read from women all over are a blast. YOU LADIES ROCK!!!
...and "Twilight Moms" is dedicated to YOU!!!
Please enjoy each other and invite others to join the group. Remember to keep everything clean and be respectful. (In "mom" terms-Play Nice! or you'll get time out!!!)
And be sure to visit us on:
TwilightMOMS.com
I smiled, how accurately have they described my existence; though, I'm not the Suzie homemaker type-things just got worse that my mom considered kicking us out of her home (kidding). Well, I have been Bitten by Twilight Series, already read the 4 books and I now await the DVD release since I haven't seen the movie-yet.
Funny, it seemed like my ideal guy is 100++ years old LOL

where to ?
This is the first 7 days of the year and I am now wondering, where to? I always have this penchant of reinventing myself once things didn't work out the way I had planned or envisioned; or if things get boring. I guess it's one of those things that I thank God for this life, you may fail, but you have all the reasons and opportunities to get up, pick up the pieces and start where you left off or start a clean slate and go from scratch.
In my first year after college, I had been a volunteer for a well known media-based non-government organization. I just saw myself going way up North in the Phils. giving donations and basking on the warmth of the afternoon sun while lying above sacks and sacks of rice and other donated goods on a freight truck on-route La-union, Pangasinan and Tarlac.
I have also witnessed families fleeing from their burning homes, carrying nothing but clothes on their backs-yet the irony of it all, thanking God that all of their loved ones are safe despite the fact that all their material possessions were reduced to ashes. I also saw children playing amidst the floods which destroyed properties and farmlands- oblivious to the fact that their parents are worried-where will they get the money for their daily sustenance?
Then after a year I landed a job, in the same company I have been volunteering for. This time, it's abused children we were saving. Bruised, beaten up, frightened, violated, abandoned- you name it; it was all unnerving and disturbing-how can anyone do such things to a child-some as small as a year old! I sometimes go home to my aunt's and cry myself to sleep, sometimes I feel vengeful, thanks to our debriefing- it saved me from being swept by my emotions and be a nut myself! Then, I was appointed to handle our medical and counseling missions; this new responsibility took me anywhere in Manila.
During this time, I met my husband to be through my cousin, and after a year and a half of dating,I quit my job and we got married. I became a wife/mom (to a sweet and wonderful boy)/daughter (since we live with my parents)/sister. Life ain't smooth sailing, and if I'm to write what happened during our first 6 years as a couple/ family-it will be fit for a major telenovela (which I do not plan to do)
Then I started working again,I added to my now hyper-slashed profile as assistant to the Dean/mgt. staff for an academic institution; then, my father died and that made us rethink our plans of moving out. After six months, I became pregnant again and gave birth to a bubbly feisty little girl. I decided also not to return from the workforce since my husband and I had an agreement that I should be hands on in taking care of our children till at least the age of five ( actually, I'm the one who demanded it-good thing, my better half agrees) Now I'm a mom/wife/ daughter/human monkey bar.
Thank God for technology, I don't need to fret about missing anything when it comes to my friends and I am constantly making friends-thanks to Facebook Yoville, Multiply and MyYearbook. I now immerse myself on another business- as an online personal shopper for people not so keen about Internet shopping, yet would love to buy authentic stuff. I also joined the Cullen Coven-since as of the moment, I decided to be a Mommy Twilighter. I enjoy reading e-books of this brilliant author's genius - it made me felt alive thinking that I can still swoon over brooding sensitive vampire guys-haaaaaaay- more on that later on my next BLOG. For now, I rest my fingers and enjoy my ME time, with Edward and Bella.

HoliDaze
If scrooge were my neighbor, he would be the most happiest man alive.
We haven't got the chance to have the perfect Holidays because most of us at home are either sick or beginning to be. Damn cold weather! But then again, it's always nice to cuddle up on a cold weather-minus the coughs and sniffles. Imagine, I almost spent my New Year's eve in the hospital because of this on and off cold that made my asthma worse! The whole sickness thing left us almost penniless grabe! what with the high cost of medicines and doctor's fee ( at least my kids availed their health card, while my physician was not covered waah!)
Oh well, that was a year ago- time to pick up the pieces and go on with our lives-penniless or not, I still believe that we're fortunate enough not to loose the roof on our heads due to fire or floods. But heck! that was the worse Holiday season I have ever had and I hope it would be the last!
