New Baby

Jan 20, 2007 Daily Blurbs

The other day, my cousin came to our house and brought her new puppy. Then she announced that it’s already ours! Yay! So, yep, I have a new pet. Her name is Boo-boo, and she’s half Japanese Chin - half Golden Retriever. She likes gnawing on stuff right now, so I gave her this wooden handle that looks like a dog bone. She likes to sleep a lot, and I mean, a LOT!

Yesterday, Ryan and I bathe her. She likes it, I think, because she didn’t attempt to run away while we’re pouring water on her. My sister bought dog food for her, she doesn’t like eating human food :haha:

Anyway, I am off to the mall. I’ll be buying a gift for Lexie It’s her birthday today. Happy birthday, Lexie!

Meeting His Friends.

Jan 15, 2007 Daily Blurbs, School

Yesterday, Ryan and I attended the baptism of his friend, Allen’s, baby. It was at Villamor Air Base. The ceremony was held at the small chapel in front of the army general’s house. Ryan introduced me to his childhood best friends. They are Nelson, Allen, Harold and Christian. They were very friendly and accommodating. They made me feel at ease and included me in their conversations. When we arrived at the reception, I felt a bit alienated because of the girls there. They don’t talk to me, or even ask who I am. I told Ryan about it and he said they are his friends too but he’s not really close to them. It’s a great thing that they transferred to another table. Thank heavens!

The rest of the afternoon was OK after that. His friends told me the most embarrassing stories about Ryan, and he would try to cover my ears half the time! :haha: I kept on laughing about all the funny stories. They really go way back, as in, kids-still-peeing-on-their-beds back. Among his friends, I’ve observed a few things. Harold, he’s the most responsible one, in my opinion. I guess it’s because he’s already a family man. His boy is so cute! His kid is 10 months old and I was able to carry him for a few minutes. Nelson, is the crazy one. He likes to play jokes among his friends. He would make up stories about Ryan so that I’d be suspicious of him. But of course, I just end up laughing along with everybody! :haha: Christian, is the quiet one. He looks serious, but I think that there is more to him that I don’t see. Hmm… Allen, is the what-you-see-is-what-you-get guy. He just does what he feels like doing, and says what’s on his mind. I didn’t really get to talk to him much, since he’s the host of the party, but he was nice to me.

Ryan said that he’s really happy that I’ve met his friends already. I am, too. At least, when he talks about them, I’d be able to understand who’s who.

In School

In school today, we just continued our activity from last week for our Macromedia Freehand class. It was supposed to be for our preliminary exams, but our professor said that what we submitted last week has been graded. He also showed us our prelim grades. I passed, but I thought I could’ve done better. Maybe I just expect too much from myself, but then again, I know my capacity. Anyway, there are still other exams where I can do better.

Good Enough

Jan 13, 2007 Daily Blurbs

I was listening to the song Good Enough of Evanescence, so I decided to use that as an entry title

Ryan and I watched Eragon today at Greenbelt 3. I like the theater there because of the very comfy chairs, plus the restrooms got a bidet! Anyway, about the movie… I haven’t read the book yet, so I can’t compare the two, if the book surpassed the movie or if the movie surpassed the book. I’d say that the movie is just okay. Nothing to rave about. I only liked the dragon, Saphira, who was voiced by Rachel Weisz. I was also surprised to see Joss Stone there, who played Angela, a fortune teller (I think). So, is the movie good enough to watch? Well, if you are a fan of fantasy films, go ahead. But if you are expecting to be wowed, well, I wasn’t, so better wait for the dvd and watch it at home instead.
