I am not particularly proud of this- me being queen and all. I have had some pretty darn good excuses as to why I haven’t updated this blog for a week. You may consider them lousy excuses and I feel the need to do something to remedy this. I have been here alright but my time seems not enough to accomplish everything in one sitting. Do forgive my indolence.

The past week, I prefer to hit the sack much longer than I used to. I feel tired writing something except when I do return comments of those blogpals who never gets tired swinging by here despite the lack of updates. The other night, what ate up most of my time was the watching of videos at Youtube and replays of some shows.

One of the shows I watched was the replay of Showtime. I don’t watch it regularly except when there’s participants from my very own hometown, Gensan. I was told that Teatro Ambahanon won for the Weekly Finals. I had to search for the replay and can’t help but be amazed with the jaw-dropping performance:

It has been the same old busy routine, day in and day out.

Today, I woke up at past 6am and went online. After an hour, I went back to sleep, LOL! Woke up at past 10 and cleaned up my room. I took the time to arrange my clothes and other stuff in my closet. Look what I’ve found:

The yellow bag accented with brown straps and pocket

The black and yellow dress with the yellow bag

Aren’t they cool for the color memes? Hahahaha!

Seriously, my original sked for the day was to actually hit the gym at 10. Heck! These drooping eyes! I had to prepare myself though and went out to pay for the reservation of my new-found apartment. Then I went to see my Morning Dew and fell to deep slumber again

Because time seemed to tick so quick, I was plagued with the dilemma of exhaustion at the end of each days that passed me by and so the writing stopped. For years, I felt I have always been deprived of sleep. Blame it on getting hooked to blogging, LOL! I need to curtail some of my online chores. After all, there’s more to life than blogging

The weekend was well spent with work, the purchase of some stuff for our travel come December, church, a wee bit of cam whoring (LOL!) and paying my family a visit especially my Morning Dew, Xyle, who just turned one month old yesterday

Xyle... a month after :-)

Trying to master the art of self-portrait, whole bod version, LOL!

Up close, some body shot in the mirror, hahahaha!

One more try. I told yah! It was a day of cam whoring Pardon the swollen eye bags

I also got the chance to be with my Aunt who got cervical cancer before she traveled back to Davao City with some more treatment procedures. I accompanied her to shop for some clothes one evening. She complained I was too quick when I walk. I had to do it slow so that she could keep up with my pacing. She got hungry after her shopping spree. We had difficulty choosing the food that’s good for her. We ended up at Chowking. She told me she missed her fave Shanghai Lauriat. I ordered the same menu too

Chowking Shanghai Lauriat... I had a full lunch!

My Aunt obviously enjoying her meal

I also got the chance to bond with some subordinates right after work on Saturday when we did some purchase needed for our travel, e.g., storage box, kitchen essentials, etc. Do take note that I was all geared up to hit the gym, LOL!

Mischievous faces at the mall

The lovely Star and yours truly

The last girls standing

Sporty!

Their kind of appetizer

My kind of meal (with veggies)

The highlight for the weekend was when my mother and I had a facial spa together at a friend’s beauty shop. We got another round of hair treatment all for FREE

My Mom at the far end having her face lift session :-)

Is that me?

If I may just mention, what we’ve purchased were mostly travel essentials for the Goodwill Games apart from my dart flight

I also had the need to buy a new sneakers for the Goodwill Games as what I have owned were all worn out from playing badminton and hitting the gym. This is the very first time that I have invested quite a good sum of money just for sneakers. Mercy! Why is it that I don’t feel guilty at all? Hahaha!

I feel happy with my purchase of Skechers Status Series Point-Blank Sneakers Shoes. Had it not been on sale, I wouldn’t dare spend a cent! It was on a marked down price- from a hefty sum of $86 down to $62.

Skechers it is!

Geez!

The Mindanao Goodwill Games is fast approaching but I haven’t practiced well enough just yet. I need to double my effort this week to do some more practice in preparation for the dart tourney.

I feel the need to mention that I have been pretty motivated hitting the gym last week. For the past months, I was always good only in the beginning but last week, it was different. I did it four times in a row for the first time.

Clap! Clap! Clap!

I must say I am getting hooked doing some cardio and working on my abs, hahaha! I can only hope it will reap better results pretty soon

Where am I?

Worn out sneakers

Oh well!

I am so looking forward for this week’s events. Earlier, I ‘ve attended Bottomline’s big bash after hitting the gym. I declared him 40 years old forever since last year, LOL! Tomorrow is another big day for me as we’re scheduled to hit the road for the monthly meeting of all employees of the province. It’s my Aunt’s birthday too! She’s tasked to prepare some good lunch for us I can’t wait to devour the sumptuous cuisines tomorrow. Hahahaha!

That’s it for now. Thank you for sticking.

Having a date like 11.11.11 is a rare occurrence. The next 11.11.11 shall take place in the next 100 years. I did not calculate it myself because as you very well know it, I hate figures, LOL!

Since the start of the new millennium, the occurrence of repeated numbers in the calendar have created some hypes. There were quite a handful of novels and films that were creatively and painstakingly made giving focus about the end of the world or Judgment day. Is it just pure math or is there really some significance to it?

I don’t have the answers to these questions myself because I am not God. However, in 2 Peter 3:10, it was written and and I quote:

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. – King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.)

You may have your own interpretation on that verse from the Bible but I am not posting it here to start an argument or biases in opinion. Anything at variance with points of view, I do respect.

To each his own. So much for making myself clear, LOL!

Let me just share to you that today, 11.11.11, is being considered by many as the fortunate date to get hitched. And also today, a twin from Wisconsin, are celebrating their 11th birthday.

November 11 is also the commemoration of the Veteran’s Day in honor of the veterans of World War I. Today also marks the Remembrance Day both in Australia and Canada to honor the soldiers who valiantly fought for their respective countries.

The movie 11.11.11 is also going to be released on 11.11.11. That’s so cool, yeah?

What about you? Does 11.11.11 means anything significant to you or you don’t bother at all?
