If you had to give up one favorite food, what would the most difficult?
coffee. i tried stopping when i was pregnant. but i failed. :D i still tried to have a glass of it everyday. i just loaded it with lotsa lotsa milk. :D
If you could change one thing that happened last year what would it be?
i could have eaten well so that i won't have a hard time losing all the excess pounds i got from my pregnancy...it was a horrid habit.

coming of age.
yesterday was Mia's day off from work. so we decided to go out early and spend time in SM.
it was just the regular day out that we had. ate at Jollibee, Bread Talk, Coffee at Dunkin Donuts and Eat Yo-go Boy's Frozen Yogurt (which was a disappointment since the yogurt was not as good as it is the first time we had it. may after taste sya nga wa mi kasabot.)
we texted our niece rochelle anne to come over so that we could give her the cake we brought for her. :)
rochelle came and so we decided to hang out at the northwing. :) as all the Cebuano knows there is this grand piano there that plays twice a day. one in the afternoon and one in the evening. we usually hang out there coz i like listening to the songs played by the pianist who is really really good.
this time i left the two talking and i concentrated on listening to the music. then i notice an old man on my left side, he is with a crane and a plastic envelope that seems to contain all his important documents. at first i didn't mind him.
but when the pianist played one piece...he tap the floor with his crane in appreciation... then he bend down on his hands holding the crane and closed his eyes as he listened...
i was so enthralled at what i saw. i could feel his loneliness...
ang sakit...
i was in tears...really.
coz i felt so sad for him...coz it seems that this place is his only refuge to the rest of the world...a diversion on whatever problem he might be facing these days.
i could also see the tears falling from his eyes...the faint smile that shows the glories of his past.
i just could imagine my tatay when he comes this age...magingon ana pud kaha sya nu?
he seems to be drifting away to the wonderful memories of his yesteryears... untold stories, unspoken words...unrequited love...these might be the reason of the tears that has been falling from his eyes.
i don't want to grow old alone...
i know i won't... coz i have myself to talk too...and my diaries and book collections to read on.
i would try to be happy and show to all the people that i love..how much i love them. :D
i will try to enjoy life so that i wont have regrets when i come to age. :D
i pray for that old man that whatever it is that he is seeking he will soon find it.
and that God will grant his hearts desire. :D
bless the old people Lord, especially those who are alone...

rain, rain, rain come again today!
last night i looked at rain the different way.
i am not really a fan of rainy season, for i hate getting wet, soiling my not so good looking feet and the pile of laundry after.
as I've mentioned on my previous blog we don't have water in our house since last Wednesday (its the 3rd day now). the pump had a problem and needs to be repaired. i was so pissed off with the sight of our soiled clothes and dirty dishes. :( our house was a mess.
then adding to my distress it rained really hard last night...at first i was so lazy and just kept on browsing the net and playing games on FB.
i remembered that i still have a sweetened avocado in our refrigerator so i decided to have a bite...when i looked outside the window...water is dripping so fast from our rooftop. so i took our plastic pails and basin and brought it outside. i also took advantage of our neighbors roof drainage. :)
my husband came home from a basketball game and was so glad to saw what i did. he then helped me fill up all our containers...since we don't have lots of it. we decided to feel up the washing machine for us to have enough water the next morning.
i was more than glad that i did that for i was able to wash our dishes, cleaned and mopped our floor and was able to take a bath in a cool and clean water...so refreshing. it seems that i was just having shower in our house in Leyte. (our water in Leyte is so cool since our source comes from the water reservoir in the mountains).
my husband also was able to clean himself up from the sweaty game he had.
and i am glad that my sister who reports to work very early the following day will have water to use.
then i discovered something. rain water is good for the skin for the soap will work very well with it. and i noticed that our glasses are so clear and smooth after it was washed from rainwater. unlike the usual water that we are using in our house which leaves white marks and salt in our dishes which is not a good sight to look.
now i will look at rainy season the different way. i learned how to value water and how to use it wisely. i just hope that those in Manila will use the rain as much as i did. As we all know Manila is experiencing water shortage these days. I am also aware that rainwater is not that good compared to what we have here in Cebu since Manila is more polluted and with lesser trees. But they can use rainwater in cleaning their houses, comfort rooms and even washing dishes.
they can also boil the water for their personal need such as bathing and cleaning themselves up. I do hope that they will not look at rainy days as a bad day but as an opportunity to save and save water.
by the way, just a precaution, don't store rainwater for so long since dengue causing mosquitoes love to nest on it. we should also be vigilant, you can cover your barrels to keep the mosquitoes from breeding on it. (source: rainwater tanks a dengue risk)
i benefited from rainwater so much...
if it will rain again tonight trust me...i will be there to catch and harvest rainwater.
