A few months ago, I saw a blog contest by Melo Villareal. He had 20 "Twisted 8 1/2" books by Jessica Zafra (autographed, take note) to give away, and because the mechanic was just simple - a simple article on "Your Favorite Beach Destination in the Philippines" with some pictures - I decided to join. The books were good while supplies last, and I was lucky to be one of the first twenty people who won the book.
I received the book a day before this picture was shot. I wasn't able to take a picture of it as soon as I received it, and realizing that Wednesday is my self portrait day, I made a two-in-one shoot. The book was a good read... very witty and a good way to de-stress after a long hectic day. The stories inside were short, and it was very easy to read the book in one sitting actually, but I decided not to read the book all at once... I want to read a few stories so it could linger in my head for a while before I read the others. I am glad to have won this book. Thanks, Melo!

Last Saturday, our neighbor came to our house offering some products. Normally, I don't really buy stuffs even if the seller is a neighbor and/or a friend, but seeing that the catalog has some whitening products, I decided to get a bar of soap and a tube of lotion, just to try it out. I am starting to hate my uneven skin tones and I think it was time to take care of myself - all part of my making my birthday wish come true.
I am not sure if this one would deliver me the kind of results I am hoping, but I do have my faith in it.

When I started loving the band Hanson, it gave me the chance to meet other fans. I exchange phone calls, letters, e-mails, and merchandize with them, and do get-togethers with them once in a while. Because we are all grown ups now, meeting personally wasn't an easy thing to organize, but because it was a celebration of the 13th year of us being Hanson fans, we were all eager to meet up once again.
It's great to see a bond this strong.

My brother went out and passed by a 7-11 store to have some drinks. He sent me a message telling that the gulp tumblers have images of the people running for the presidency. I asked him to get me a Dick Gordon tumbler, because I will be voting for him. Reasons why will be posted in my personal blog - An Autobiography in the Works.
He's voting for Gibo Teodoro, hence the two green tumblers. I just borrowed his tumblers and turn them upside down, because no way will I endorse Teodoro. Hehehe. I know Fruitas (a fruit shake store) also has the presidentiable tumblers, and I will get one for sure.
Dick Gordon for President!

It's been three days since I embarked on a new morning routine: jogging. Our neighbor Ria called on me if I would want to join her in jogging, and seeing nothing wrong about it, I went with her. First day was just around the street, 'til we decided to go towards the plaza. Near the church, I saw the sun rising up, and thought it was a great site, so for this day, I brought my camera with me, so I could snap pictures whenever something fancies me.
I don't know until when this jogging would go on - but I do hope that even if she gets back in school (she's a professor), I could still jog for my own sake.

It has been three years since my father passed away, but I still miss him from time to time. I wasn't able to go to Baguio City the day before (which is my personal tradition since he died), so I had no flowers for him. I just took some bougainvillea flowers from a plant inside the cemetery so that my dad's grave would have a little life. This year, I visited him alone because Aunt had already visited his grave, and my own family had their own reasons for not coming. In a way, there is a negative side in having a departed loved one buried so far from where we live, but I am glad we decided to lay dad to rest here in La Union. Not only was he closer to his hometown, it also gives me reason to travel north. :)
