saturday smiles and then some ...

Hope that everyone had a great week and the weekend would be just as great! I have face mask on my face .... so while waiting for it to dry i thought id blog a little -.. its a nice sunny Saturday here - 320pm .. It rained a little this morning - sorta breezy now its all over sunshine - great day for a tan - like i need to be further tanned tee hee & of its windy too out - so yeah the perfect weather day .......

Anyways its a quiet Saturday - didnt do much - except watched The Simpsons this morning, ran some errands- marketing and what not, had breakfast with mom - she was craving for 'nasi jenganan' - its a local favorite - its actually white rice with peanut sauce served with steamed 'kangkung, bean sprouts and eaten with potato cakes, tempe and chiilie - it was goooodddd and it filled us up till now im still ... Me and mom had our usual morning talk - which is nice - she was telling me about a guy who was keen on her .... ;)) ... but she wasnt interested lol .. She always says she will never find another man like my dad - and she is sure he is waiting for her in heaven..Image true love .. i envy her .. ;)) ..

I sneaked in a little nap because my back is killing me -though my initial plan was to just lay down for a bit - then it was laundry laundry more laundry - cleaning - geeszzzzzzz ....Image and now here i am waiting for my mask to dry and then get ready for a visit to my aunts place with mom on the other side of the island after which i am planning on coaxing her into going to Orchard Road with me to see the Christmas Light up ..

Yesterday i was at war with yahoo and internet viruses - there is this worm called 'brontok' that infected my pc and i was pissed - i wondered why my puter was so slow and now i know .. damn worm - i spent the whole day yesterday cleaning out my computer and now its virus freee - thank God! Yahoo made peace with me after all that excitement though - my email came through just fine - prior to that it was just acting up sigh .. technology - they give you the good the bad and the ugly .. but we wouldnt be so connected if it wasnt because of it either .. so there ...Image

But that all got better when i received an email later that evening that REALLY made me smile - i think i was dancing on air - a little gesture like that can really brigthen ones day even more :) I guess it could also be because its from someone who means the world to me - so yeah i was smiling and smiling - like a jackass like a little school girl whatever its to be called for sure it made my day! thank you thank you thank you ...

This morning too i woke to devastating news that came out of the Phillipines - typhoon durian that killed hundreds of filipinos - ..Its sad that natural disasters like this hit the worst off areas and people who struggle from day to day - seeing the pictures in the morning paper is heart wrenching - one minute you have a home a family the next thing you know due to mother nature's wrath its all gone - i hope the people in the Phillipines recover from this natural disaster as they did from the previous natural disasters that have hit their country. I pray that God give them strength and courage as they face the challenges in ahead in dealing with the ordeal and their loss .....

It seems like the end of the year is a time of joyful tidings as well as natural disasters - an earthquake measuring 6.1 hit sumatra yesterday yet again - that region has been hit by dozens of earthquake this year - though no tsunami warning was issued nor was there lost of lives or property - i am pretty sure it makes their people live in fear of the what ifs ... Since the tsunami hit in 2004 it seems that the sumatra, the andaman islands and Nias have since seen lots of earthquakes - some which have killed while others destroyed homes and what nots and to think they hit the more poverty ridden areas - it makes you wonder .. why ? ....

while the world ponders - im off .. blog ya laters ..
