Thank God for Rain!!

aizadgreat — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 02:50:21 +0000

I’ve already refuse listening to radio and watching on TV about the rants of how the dry spells are affecting everything from the rise of electricity to cloud seeding to global warming. Its just pathetic how they’re making everybody panic over these while this is the PERFECT TIME to inform people of what they should be doing instead. (i just hope some advertising peeps get to read this…) From saving electricity to planting their own household plants or segregating garbage, which could actually lessen the effects of global warming.

I’ve been reading Chuvaness.com for quite a while. Although the author may be a bit shallow at times (but a funny, entertaining shallow way), her recent post about the draught made me want to post about it too. And here’s her comment, also thanking God for the rain:

“This is a true sign that prayers deliver miracles, what more if a whole nation prays.
Thank God prayer is free, because in the Philippines it’s one of the few things we can still do even if we’re broke.”

Amen. Thanks Cecile.

Too Cute not to Post

Never was the fashionista. But I know cute when I see one.

New Work, Elise 14 month update

aizadgreat — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 03:18:57 +0000

I’m now sitting here in the open work area in my new office. Yes, still in the IT department, still a programmer.

Elise can walk now, just before her 14 month birthday. She’s like a walking zombie with her arms out when she toddles. She enjoys walking now, rarely asking to be carried na (unless if it were me or Pau) And she’s so madaldal. Check out her videos in my videos page.

I miss my daughter more when I’m at work. At least, this time, I save around 10-15 mins of travel time so that I can be with her more.

Simpsonized Aiza

This time, Simpsonizeme.com was available so I was able to make one. Looks better than the previous one I posted but still, Southpark-ized Aiza is still the cutest!

Major Insecurity

aizadgreat — Fri, 27 Jul 2007 03:57:24 +0000

(Warning, major shallow rantings ahead!)

I just had this chat with one of my oldest and dearest friends (who recently got married. congratulations, OZ). And because of this really ugly dream that I had last night, I suddenly find myself insecure of my body. I tell you honestly though, I was rarely insecure of my physical appearance. Well, except for the fact that I was a whole lotta insecure back in high school when I was lanky with kinky hair, really thick glasses, braces and those disproportionate gums. But that’s another story.

Anyway, since I gained tons of weight after I gave birth a year ago, I can’t seem to do anything to shave off the extra pounds. The semi-vegan diet, nor doing the laundry weekly or the household chores did not help at all. But it must count that I was dancing and taking up aerobics before to keep fit but now, no physical activity except for those mentioned above and other privy things. *wink, wink*

So, the question of the day is should I go and enroll in another dance/aerobics class or not? Here’s my analysis:

Pros of Enrolling:
- keep my body, especially my hypertensive heart, healthy
- it’ll help me shave off those excessive baggage and keep it off
- boost my confidence

Cons of Enrolling:
- Additional cost
- it’ll shave off valuable time with family since i’m already 12 hours (or more) away from them during weekdays

I’m torn.

But here’s what my friend had to say:
[11:45] O.Z.: My dear friend, your sexiest asset (but I’m not saying that you lack in the others) has always been your mind.

Aww, thanks! I wish I had your optimism, friend. I’ll try to keep that in mind always.

Happy Slip?

aizadgreat — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 07:19:29 +0000

I’m watching this woman online at her site happyslip.com. She’s hilarious. And it probably help that she’s filipina-american since I can actually relate to some of her experiences. Check it out!

Thanks for the link, Mish!

Flattered or Flustered?

aizadgreat — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 02:49:29 +0000

If someone you know calls you “MALUHO” or extravagant, would you be happy or offended?

Me? I was really, really offended. I never saw myself as extravagant or according to dictionary.com, spending much more than is necessary or wise; wasteful. Maybe when I was still single, yes. I did have a lot of spending money then. (looking back now, I should have put some aside for savings, heehee)

But now, I definitely am not. The only extravagance that I consider indulging in now is the load I buy for my cellphone, movie dates that the husband and I have every after payday, eating out once a week, usually every sunday and my bi-weekly pedicures.

I just hate it when someone judges me. I guess that person doesn’t know me at all.
