Raindrops Falling

Apr 14, 2008 Daily Blurbs

…not on my head, but on the very hot and dry pavement outside this empty house.

I woke up alone, I don’t know where everyone has gone. I received a message from my mom that they went to the SSS¹ Office, I wanted to go because I haven’t received my ID yet. Anyway, yesterday I bought rechargeable batteries with a charger because my trusty camera, Exilim Z-30 is doing weird stuff. For some reason, when the natural light is really bright, the shots become overexposed. It never did that before. I will have to get it checked. Since we have a new digital camera, I bought batteries for it because the alkaline batteries can only do enough. I mean, 5 minutes after putting in new alkaline batteries, the life has drained already. Rechargeable batteries are quite expensive, but I was able to get one for 50% off at Ace Hardware, and I had to choose the economical ones because I am going green.

I do hope that this coming weekend the rain won’t come to visit because we are going to ride a ferryboat to Puerto Galera. It is at least an hour and a half ride and it becomes pretty scary in the middle of the ocean because the waves are quite strong and it rocks the boat pretty hard. One of my greatest fears is dying in water. I’d rather die during a plane crash, where when it crashes, I am instantly dead. I think I am quite ready to go to the beach. Some of my friends will be joining us as well, but they would be staying on a different resort, which is okay, since we can meet up by the beach. If you have read my entry about Puerto Galera, I mentioned to stay away from Dreamwave because a robbery happened last summer. Today, I received a comment where he experienced the same thing in Dreamwave and it happened last December. I do believe it is an inside job. The owners should really take this into account and really get to know their staff and their backgrounds. Traveling and having a vacation should be fun and safe.

Home Accents

mailbox

Summer is the best time to do improvements around the house; adding different home accents here and other, repainting the walls, redoing the plumbing and planting new greeneries. One thing I pointed out to my dad is, our mailbox is quite rusty and the mail gets wet when it rains unexpectedly.

We are to install a new mailbox soon, we looked through different mailboxes online for design inspiration. I even saw one with a cow design and you can even choose to have yours custom painted.

We also bought new linoleum for our bedroom. Waxing the floor is a very tedious job. It requires a lot of leg power! I will post pictures as soon as we get it installed.

Facts Tag

Apr 12, 2008 Buzz, Daily Blurbs

I was tagged by Rose to post some facts about me. I will tag a few people, and here are the rules:

Each blogger starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves. Bloggers that are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules. At the end of your blog, you need to chose eight people to get tagged and list their names.

You must place the rule before doing the tag and make sure you visit and leave a comment to the person you tagged to let them know you thought about them. *wink*

I tend to make a “blowfish” face when I’m typing in front of the computer, I am doing it right now. I also do it when I am watching TV… I think I do it all the time! I don’t know why I do it or how it started.
I have a crush on an online youtube celebrity. He’s just so cute and so funny! If you’re intrigued, I am subscribe to his videos. Head on to my youtube profile and guess! I am only subscribe to about 30 people. While you’re at it, check out my videos, comment, rate, subscribe!
I take really long showers, especially during the summer. I take at least 2-3 baths during this hot season.
When I am in bed, getting ready to sleep, I rub my feet on the soft and cool surface of my pillow. Yep, I have a pillow on all four sides of my bed.
I eat very slowly. I tend to enjoy the “eating experience”, that’s why I can’t maintain my weight even if I do my time on the treadmill
I become very talkative when I am nervous, especially when meeting someone for the first time. This usually happens when I am on a first date, and mostly because the guy I am dating is really cute and interesting.
I cannot sleep with the lights on. Even a hint of light makes it difficult for me to get some sleep. The slightest of sound can also wake me up.
I don’t like to associate myself to people who I find stupid. I love being around smart and interesting people.
