Friday! I Love Fridays!

It's Friday once again and i just love it! Days fly so fast and .... and Monday comes so quick too! Where did the weekend go? I can't get enough of it. It's barely 3 weeks since i came back from my Philippine vacation and i am missing my family and friends so much. I see depression hitting me, i hope not! I guess part of this is caused by hormonal changes that every woman like me would rather avoid but couldn't. The weather is also a big part of it! Snow...... i used to love it! Now i'm hating this weather. I'm sure if God is listening to my whining, he would say, "shut up woman!" LOL!

2010: What's in store for me?

I used to make new year's resolutions but they always remained just new year's resolutions. I have sooo many plans for this year but i guess i lack the determination to do it. Plans remained as plans - useless, right? I was thinking of at least updating my blogs, at least two of my blogs and right now, i am still struggling. Perhaps, one big reason behind my laziness is the lack of incentives, like getting paid for blogging. Who doesn't need money these days? With the absence of paid opportunities, i find myself dragging myself to do things online. If i can only go back to those times when earning money online was so easy. I hope those opportunities would slowly come back so we all get back to where we used to be.

Beautiful islands in Zambales

I have been living in Zambales since 1975 and i have never seen these beautiful islands in Zambales until recently. One day before christmas, my brother Arnold offered to take us to Pundaquit resorts just to see the beach. So off we went... Later, Arnold suggested we take a boat ride to the islands. At first, i hesitated because we were not ready for it, i wasn't even wearing shorts and i was sure we were gonna get wet as we get on the boat. But anyway, we agreed to go. The boatmen took us to two islands (one was Gamara Island and the other island i dont't know the name) and the sights were just majestic. Everything around us was really beautiful - the water, the sand, the rocks, the pebbles, the mountains... I heard Anawangin cove is another island worth visiting. You can spend the night in these islands but there are no amenities there so you have to be prepared by bringing with you basic stuff for your needs. There are lodging inns around the resorts in Pundaquit so you can always come back to the resort if you don't want to spend the night in the islands. Next time i go home to Zambales, i wanna visit these islands again especially Anawangin cove.

Hello to Buffalo winter!

Fresh from the warm weather in the Philippines, i found the freezing winter in Buffalo, NY not a welcome treat for me. It was sooooo cold! As soon as i got out of the Buffalo airport, i had to run back inside as i could not take the cold, no kidding, lol! It's like starting all over again. I am already missing my family back home especially the kids. Am i ready to go back to work? Maybe not! But do i have a choice? I'm sure there are lots to do when i get back, so i better be ready for it! For now, i might just forget the warm Philippine weather and get used to the cold winter in Buffalo! Happy new year to everyone!
