Wheels

After months of planning, shopping & waiting, "the car" was finally in our hands. When hubby arrived from his biz trip, we went straight to the dealer to pick it up. The feeling on the way was inexplicable. It was a mixture of excitement & anxiousness for me but more of the former for hubby. When we saw it, it was everything we expected it to be - worthy of the photo-op.

We quickly setup the tomtom (thank God for GPS!) and took "the car" for a spin. First stop was the airport - where the cousins were waiting. Then we drove straight to our friends down south (L, E&N), same people who welcomed us in OZ airport 17 months ago, and they were all nice to share our happiness.

It's been 17 months of "public-transport" & "hired-car" for us so it will be awhile before we get used to owning a private one. I will surely miss the long walks but I believe it's about time we discover more of what OZ has to offer. "Sakay na!"

Full-house

March 10, 2007

It was my newly-wed cousin's birthday (Natasha's) and she, together with her husband, left for Brisbane from Sydney. They were here for 3 days accompanied by her brother - also my cousin - from Melbourne, just chilling out before embarking on their round-the-world honeymoon trip. We were full-house but we all had a wonderful time, mostly at home, watching DVDs, feasting on food, and just having fun.

Crazy about YouTube

I've been crazily watching pinoy shows from youtube for a couple of days now. I was surprised at the quality of the videos, some of which even playing upto 40mins!

This all started when I browsed the Inquirer news reporting that the record-breaking most popular youtube video was the Kris-James-Hope issue. I then tried to search for that and discovered some other pinoy shows - tsismis and variety shows.

My faves include the "Deal or No Deal" and "Bulagaan" clips. Just can't get enough of them ... haha. Oh no, somebody drag me back to work please!

Reminiscing

Cleaning up iPhoto Library and found some shots that made me smile today. I wish I can work out as much as I did 5 years ago for my curves have now turned to bulges. Sigh! Those were the days.
