Mr. Kaleidoscope World

Amidst a very busy Friday (with the weekend reports and all), my husband shared to me this sad news.

It’s been cold summer nights since we drifted apart
Cold summer nights since you walked out that door
Cold summer nights… oh, here on my own
Coz I miss you baby, I need you here

Rest in Peace, Man from Manila.

new year's wish

Thank you Lord for the many blessings we have received in 2008. May you continue to bless us and keep us safe in your hands...Protection and Security, Good health and stability, Resilience for the little girl. All these for 2009.

Amen.

Change has come

"If there is anyone out there who still doubts that America is a place where all things are possible; who still wonders if the dream of our founders is alive in our time; who still questions the power of our democracy, tonight is your answer.
"It's the answer told by lines that stretched around schools and churches in numbers this nation has never seen; by people who waited three hours and four hours, many for the very first time in their lives, because they believed that this time must be different; that their voice could be that difference.

"It's the answer spoken by young and old, rich and poor, Democrat and Republican, black, white, Latino, Asian, Native American, gay, straight, disabled and not disabled - Americans who sent a message to the world that we have never been a collection of Red States and Blue States: we are, and always will be, the United States of America."

Change has come to America. I am elated. Thank you Lord.

lap attack

Since hubby is really passionate about losing weight and and being fit and healthy, he has declared today as a gym-free day. Instead, we are all trooping to the clubhouse to watch him do some laps. I just wish the little girl won't ask me if she can swim as well.

If I still have the energy for later, I might join him in the pool. But it still depends as I have been up since 2 this morning and I havent closed my eyes even for just a sec. Will post some photos soon!

wordless

I'm too sleepy for words so I hope THIS will do.

Again, happy father's day to the dads in my life. You guys rock!

battle of 2 davids

If there's one thing my mom and I are passionate about, it is watching AI week after week after week. And since we're tandems, we only began loving the show the moment Ramiel Malubay was booted out of the show. I just think it's so fun to watch these kids belt out their talents for the world to see. And the judges? Oh! We love them all! However, mom and I are rooting for the 2 Davids. Separately. We all know that AI Season 7 is going to be the battle of the Davids. So, let me root for mine while mommy root for hers:

Mommy roots for the angelic David Archuleta...

...While Farah roots for the hot and sassy David Cook!

lest we commemorate

Holiday for the whole of Australia.

Rest day for me.

Sweet long weekend it is Ü

Hello Kitty!

While I was dressing up for mass early this morning, I caught Tina Monzon Palma's interview with Kitty Go at ANC's The World Tonight (learned later that it was just a replay from TV Patrol the night before). I know of Kitty Go because I used to see her name all the time in magazines. She was an editor, I reckon. And a socialite. She was asked what her take was on this and my, I couldn't help but stop from what I was doing, sit on the corner of my bed and listen intently. She just talks with so much meat! Her candor impressed me. Such a woman of substance. I instantly became a fan.

And when I become a fan, I obsess. So can you imagine my plight the whole time today? My body was in the training room of Orient but my mind was in the bookstore alleys searching for the novels she made in 2005: When Chic Hits the Fan: Celebrity and Fashion Confessions of a Former Magazine Editor and Chic Happens. I can swear to the world that I was closed to pulling the hands of the clock so I can run to Podium or MegaMall and find out if they still have copies (I am doubting they run out of stock considering the Filipino mentality that if it's sikat now and was featured in primetime television, everyone will flock to the bookstores to grab a copy). I will have to find that out in a couple more hours. I just can't wait.

I just wish she won't fail me.

booyah!

Unlike most of the other nonfoolish holidays, the history of April Fool's Day, sometimes called All Fool's Day, is not totally clear. There really wasn't a "first April Fool's Day" that can be pinpointed on the calendar. Some believe it sort of evolved simultaneously in several cultures at the same time, from celebrations involving the first day of spring.

When I was younger, I have always been a victim of April Fool's Day for many years. My dad even had to call me "Ms. Gullible" for a while because I never really learned. Hehe. But I have changed now. And call me cynical, you can never fool me with anything anymore.

Happy jesting!
