Midnight

It’s midnight, and I just got home. I’m tired, but very happy. Let me list the happy things that happened during the past 24 hours:

I was able to catch up with friends I haven’t seen in almost five years. These people were my kids’ church classmates, and it’s amazing to see how we’ve all grown up.
One of those friends is now a pastor, and is a pretty good one if I may say so.
While on the way to the youth service where I caught up with aforementioned friends, we stopped by a convenience store for ice cream (my insistence). In that convenience store, near light fixtures, I found a clear yellow (yellow!) umbrella, which I bought right away. Squee!
Wimbledon. Novak Djokovic. Need I say more?
Life is good. Life is very very good.
My friends are always awesome. And even though they annoy the crap out of me most of the time, I still love ‘em. ♥

Diventare is turning a year old in a few days, and I’m looking forward to it. I think I’ve gotten back to normal, but only time will tell. Maybe I just need to be in a good mood to be able to blog properly.

Still feeling a little sad about Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson, though.

Lazy Sunday

I’m currently at home, contemplating whether to take a nap, play Gundam on the PS2 with my brothers, or blog. I decided to blog.

I’ve just gotten home from church. I was supposed to meet up with my small group leader, but she decided to reschedule and meet up with me tomorrow night instead. So I went with my older brother while he met up with this small group leader, and we both went to get shawarma.

My cat is having fun sleeping in my room. He likes making messes though. I woke up this morning with bits of shavings all over my room. He kicked pieces of shaving off his litter box after doing his business. Otherwise, it’s been great.

This computer is starting to become really slow. I think it’s time to consider computer memory upgrades. Oh well. Soon. I am going to go and answer e-mails now.

Brainstorming and changes

I spent most of last night making sure that my bedroom was cat proof. My parents have finally allowed me to let my cat sleep in my bedroom, mostly because of a rodent problem (for some reason, there’s a lone rodent running around our house and we’re having trouble exterminating it) which resulted in my older brother having anti-tetanus shots and a bandaged index finger. My brother should have listened when he was little and my grandmother told him that rodents find ways to take revenge.

So my room now has a litter box, a cat blanket, and I have to make sure that the curtains (lace) are always drawn, or else they’ll be destroyed. Having my cat in my room is actually fun, though. He knows he’s not allowed on the bed, and stays on his blanket.

Something I neglected to mention the past few weeks is that I’ve switched churches. Adjusting is a little difficult, but I think the switch is for the better. It’s a little hard making new friends, though. I had been with our former church for about three years until we decided to switch, so the meeting new people at church part is a little unfamiliar to me now. I’m optimistic, though – for a change. I’ve signed up for a small group, so I’m pretty sure I’ll start making more friends soon.

On a lighter note, a friend of mine has asked for my help in assembling her modeling portfolio. She wants me to shoot photos for her portfolio. I’m not very familiar with portrait photography, but I’m grabbing the opportunity and I’m enlisting the help of other friends such as Kendrick. Currently thinking of concepts for the shoot, but not anything related to the most effective diet pill. I’m still ironing out the details, but I’m looking forward to it.

Playing host

Our Chinese-Australian guests have left. We ended up having siblings Jenny and Jason stay at our house. They’re from Perth – the whole mission team was composed of students from Perth and Adelaide.

It was fun. Jason is currently completing his Computer Science Ph.D, so we had plenty to talk about. We went to Trinoma for a while, to get a snack and play a few video games on Timezone.

My brother and I also made them both sing karaoke with our Magic Sing, since they mentioned that they hadn’t experienced Filipino karaoke yet.

We didn’t get to spend much time with each other, apart from when they were staying at home. But we did try to make their stay as interesting as possible. They were able to try almost all the forms of public transportation, we made them sing karaoke, they had the traditional Filipino breakfast, we gave them model jeepneys, and they tried Krispy Kreme doughnuts (which they apparently don’t have in Perth). Well, I hope we succeeded in making their trip as memorable as possible.

They left three days ago, I’ve been able to talk to Jenny who is in Hong Kong at the moment. Up there is a photo of me and Jenny, which we took at one of the Japanese photo booths at Timezone (we didn’t understand anything, we just kept pressing buttons while smiling at the top camera) the day before their last day in the Philippines.

Ok now time to look at life insurance no medical.
