just noticed

i was just spell-checking that last post of mine

and it didn't recognize the word blog. weird. i believe the word was added to the Webster's dictionary circa 2003? right.

and my proof?

homeless

for the past 1...2...5..too many days, i have been without the internet. last wednesday, due to a HUGE miscommunication error (huge being the understatement of the year) rogers disconnected my family from any source of entertainment in the house. no television. no internet.

we've gone through the calls, complaints, and calls with complaints to fix this problem. i, personally have gone through both my denial stage and withdrawal stage. now, you ask? well, now i'm going just plain batty. all this, to no avail!

"you will be up and running in 24-48 hours" YOU LYING COCK-SUCKING WHORES!!! how many times do you think you can tell that to someone? especially someone who lives on the internet and is now homeless and batty because of it?

i suppose i can't really complain all that much (but that's what i do best), because throughout most of this ordeal, i have been sick at home unable to do much of anything. and today, being my first day back at work since this all started, i am at least one step ahead in internet connectivity than the rest of my family. like a crack addict, the first thing i did when i got in this morning was launch Safari, you wouldn't be able to imagine how elated i was to see the apple website load and not that stupid warning saying it couldn't locate it, and maybe i should check my internet connection..check rogers you bitches! i also checked my email (a whopping 20 per account. and not all junk either! not too shabby if i do say so myself,) checked my blogs (i could feel the high coursing it's way through my veins,) and now i'm updating my withdrawal on my own blog. go figure, all it took was me losing my mind for an update to occur. ha!

it's been a long week, and we've managed to watch and maybe even re-watch the infamous santos family dvd collection. but you know it got bad, when they agreed to play some board games with me last night. cranium last night was amazing. we definitely need more people when we play again. and i hope it's sometime in the future.

check back in 24-48 hours. i'll be up and running! grrrrr.....

reality

it was a lovely weekend, and i do plan on posting a summary of it all, sometime...within this lifetime. it was really that good.

but i wanted to post this one reality, because well, i might forget all about it.

on sunday we had a baby shower for my cousin and his wife, with that came the various stages of family throughout the year and their children, and their children's children. my favorite currently being, baby deegs. the baby with no problem with people, scrumptious feet, smiley, giggly, chuubby boy thighs, and scrumptious feet!!! i had noticed before that he likes seeing tita la, and man who wouldn't i throw him in the air, tickle his tummy, and by golly i talk to him like he's got the brain capacity to reply to me,

"well, actually tita, i don't think the gas prices are going to subside any time soon. eventually maybe, but not in the near future. and maybe you should be over at the house more often, i enjoy these talks of ours."

now who wouldn't want that kind of quality time?

at any rate, deegs is transfixed when he looks at me. but, alas, to his mom's voice-over, "he's thinking, man! look at all the milk in there!" what can i say? lol. happy tuesday everyone!

in the closet

but, technically i'm not. i heart the O.C. with a huge part of my troubled heart.

satruday, was an outing with my dear maymay and buttahP. it was not our night to begin with, what with everything we wanted to do being shut down, or a last show. sushi at haruba was of course, fantastic! buttah's new friend, the manager, is awesome! and having that friendly face there when we went was a huge score. it's like the same feeling when you're on VIP guestlist and you can walk past everyone that's waiting in line. SUCKAHS! lol! garlic butter and mussles, have moved to the top of the list.

we topped the night off with the idea of watching a rented movie at buttah's house. we walked through blockbuster's in desperation trying to find a movie that neither i or they had seen. mission impossible, if you ask me. we finally had decided on watching a horror flick, but quickly changed our mind when we saw the TV seasons section. O.C. it was calling us.

2 hours later. i was ready to buy the two seasons on dvd to own. actually i'm still thinking about it. i can't get over it.

because i can

so, as per usual...

friday is really boring and mundane. and it involves a lot - A LOT - of sitting around waiting. i'm waiting to output my one and only job today, and it's giving me time to do this:

Mabuhay Festival at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre

there is a $10 entrance fee, and now while i know you all want to see Jasmine Trias (from American Idol) belt out a few tunes, there's something else going on there aswell.

my sister and god-sister have opened a company, l & elle. it is a jewellery company, and not to sound biased or anything (because how can i be biased towards family?!? j.k) but i think they're both extremely talented. both are fashionistas in their own rite. so you have to expect nothing but the best, up-to-date, trend setting accessories to be available at this show. the best part being the competitive pricing.

please come out and support the debut of l & elle... shop till you drop, support the filipino culture in toronto, and watch Jasmine sing. it should be good times!

now how's that for tooting my own horn?? because i want to believe that a tonne of people read this blog and want to know what i'm up to. if you are one of those souls, please feel free to forward a link to this entry to whomever you think will be interested.
