oh this early '09 fuss

I have not been very good in starting my year with regards to my online job. Though I have been spending a good amount of time dropping my cards, blog hopping, friendstering, facebooking, looking at swithart's page in the MSU Alumni Global Network, and chatting, my writing task seems to have been put in the last priority. My blogs don't have a lot of updates when the year kicked in. Writing assignments didn't pop out like they used to so I am finding one reason to just write a new entry in each of my blogs. My eyes are not completely healed yet as well, I still tend to have them turned red and itchy and watery when I stare at the monitor for more than 10 minutes. And so, my break is being continued.

Offline, I managed to do so many things here at home. I started this new year with everything clean; meaning, I changed every linen, mat, and rugs and washed everything that needs to be washed. :) I was like an OC last January 1 but I liked it because it felt good to have everything new and fresh and clean from our bedroom to the kitchen and bathroom. I even cleaned up our fridge and threw anything that I felt needed to be thrown and believe me, I seemed to be the busiest during the first day of this year even when I was just home. Hehe..

I kept communication lines open, and so, our phone bill would surely go up and my prepaid cell phone's load has been consumed! LOL But it's always worth it to have talked to our very special loved ones especially during those times so it'll just be fine. Now, my heart is breathing like I am back home in Philippines. Haha.. It's because my Yaya, Kuya Tom, and Shaira from Japan are there right now enjoying the warmth of the people and the place! It is no doubt I am truly jealous of them back home. And I hate it even more because they're not sending me pictures of their getaways. We do update every now and then through text and e-mails and they are asking me to call them but when I do, all I could hear are screams and a whole lot of laughters! Hah! And... they don't have time to chat with me so I could never see them live and kicking! lol Oh well, the two weeks of their vacation will be over in just a span of a very quick time and I hope that they'll be done with their very important mission over there.

It's been the sixth day of January, can you believe how time flies by so fast? Last Sunday, our toddler turned two years and six months old and oh MG, she is just the most wonderful creature here at home! She's the one who keeps everyone sane and talking right here and who keeps the dad being grounded and feeling relaxed. Hehe... His time spent in his paperworks aka dissertation always seem to be getting more and more and he's becoming more and more busy especially that next week, spring semester starts and he's going to be teaching in the university so another busy-bee hubby right here!

Ma and Pa in-law I can see are getting bored each passing day. Though I salute their ability to choose to be happy and occupied no matter what, I really pity them for being stuck here at home. I am hoping that February, March, April, and then the summer will come too soon so they will be able to join SIL in Vegas and live there and enjoy! Well, one day at a time, and for now, we are trying our best to enjoy these days of cold and no work. The most important thing is to have a warm hearts and feelingsand I think we have that. It's my FIL's 70th birthday by the way this coming Saturday and for sure, he will be surprise on his birthday! Hehe...
