Barely legal

I have been living without television since August last year. Did I just hear a sharp intake of breath? Yes, that's almost 6 months of no-tv time and I'm about to tell you how I survived.

There is this website called http://www.peekvid.com. It provides links to a lot of shows and movies. They even have Korean telenovelas and movies! P, surprisingly lit up when he saw "My Sassy Girl". Apparently, this series is big in Pinas.

Now this site is as the subject states, barely legal. It doesn't actually host the files but links to sites like YouTube, etc. where 'copyright' means post a clear video hehe. So enjoy it while it lasts.

So, there you have it. Before you go to this site, make sure you have time to spare as it will definitely make you lose track of it.

Piccies from the church

Arrgh, Spongebob!!

I am not a gamer. There are only a handful of games that I really liked, mainly because they made sense to me. For example, when we got Nintendo's family computer as a kid, everyone else was digging Super Mario. I dug Tetris. You see the pattern.

However, recently, my sister installed a sample game in my laptop for Spongebob Squarepant's Diner Dash. Firstly, I looovvee Spongebob. Oo na, matanda na ako para maaliw sa cartoons...pero anong magagawa ko, natatawa ako sa kanya e. :) See, just thinking of him makes me smile/laugh/guffaw. :D Secondly, when I got around to playing it, I got hooked because I was breezing through the stages. Now, I'm on the last stage and I can't clear it!! *sob*

If you know to earn 45,000 clams for Mr. Krab's Le Krab resto, please leave me a message and tell me how! I'll be grateful from the (bikini) bottom of my heart.. (sorry can't resist.)

So it has been a month

Jack and I got married in Manila last 27-Dec-2006. It was a wonderful event. Fernwood delivered. The combination of the venue and the magic that my florists made brought us to another world.

I loved my caterer (Josiah's), makeup artist (Julie Baun), couturier (Tet Hagape) and church florist (Scenta Flora) the most. Special mention to Julie, Tet and Scenta Flora, if you manage to read this, I am blown away by the level of service you gave me and my wedding party. Hats off to you!

I also adore the Discovery Suites in Ortigas! I could live there hehe. We stayed in their 2-bedroom suites and they were exactly what we needed. We had enough space to move around and go crazy. Plus if we needed anything, the Podium and Megamall is just a short walk away. Perfect.

My next post will be the pics. Abangan!

Why

Being part of the Pinoy diaspora, I have friends and family everywhere. The world sure is getting smaller by the minute. This blog is for whoever wants to know what's up with me and my family. I've tried the anonymous blog thing and found that I am neither eloquent nor pensive enough to keep a blog that people will want to read despite a dogdy pseudonym. I still have it though. Keep the dream alive and all that :)

Of course this still won't reach members of my family who always act as if it's the first time they saw a computer (Hi Ma!) but I am still not losing hope.

So beware, all this is personal. If you came here by mistake or by a random act of fate, welcome! I've decided to make this public for now, a decision I may or may not regret in the future. So, leave comments if you want.

Pero kung kapamilya/kapuso/ka-whateveritscalled.. leave me a note! I'd love to hear from you.

Or kung anak ka ng kapatid ng asawa ng uncle ko sa kapatid ng lolo ko, message me as well and let's sort out that spider web of a family tree :)
