old [blah] news

of course once i started writing, i felt the urge to just go on and blab on. i suddenly remembered that i haven't written about so many other things. this is in no particular order, and i don't even wanna care anymore if they make sense:

* i know i've written too much about hook already, but she's just so sweet, cute and charming! gave her a first name a long while ago - alison! coz she's so soft, and you just wanna hug her and all.. hahaha.. alison is this girl in the hocus pocus movie that max (omri katz) was daydreaming about: "oh alison you're so soft..." anyway, she meows a lot more now, and i really love her malambing nature - waking me up in the morning, positioning herself between me and my laptop (i think she's jealous haha), and just cuddling whenever she feels like it..

* hmm, i didn't even write about my laptop yet! it's named badi. short for a slightly weird nickname that an aunt gave me. i got it as a birthday gift for myself! bought it at a sony store on a sunday, then had to return the first one i got, coz there was an annoyingly small speck of a red dot on the screen. it's barely noticeable, but i wanted a perfect laptop so i brought it back the next day. thankfully, they didn't question it. once i showed the dot, they immediately replaced it. yey!

* backing up a few months,,, i had another birthday surprise this year! it came complete with the cake, the food, and the people who suddenly appeared inside the house! haha.. i remember, the earliest birthday surprise on my mind right now was during first year college - a goldilocks chocolate cake at the cafeteria, a picture with the cake, and with my friends and blockmates. =) through the years, there were also several others: a yellow mango cake after one atsca eb deliberation, a greenwich pizza at asha's place, and a lot more! wow, i love cake! =D

* when we were children, my sisters and i baked cookies and brownies and the like once in a while. but when i got to college, i didn't give time for the kitchen anymore, except when helping out with our short-lived cream cake and pasta business. now, just over the past few months, i started filling a box with index cards. most of them are still blank, but in time, i plan to have the box full of recipes from my mom. i've only tried cooking a few from the ones i've written, but at least i already got started right? =) and there have been a lot of catering orders from the past two months, so i've been learning a bit of this and that. even if i just help with the small stuff coz my mom doesn't trust me in the kitchen yet. too many innocent mishaps when i'm left alone haha..

* wow, it's getting light outside! that's coz it's already 5:30am as i'm writing this! sleeping time! hehe, my youngest sister june and i have been sleeping late (or is it really more correct to say early?) ever since she started her summer vacation a few weeks ago. some of those times were spent with catering preps. others, playing computer games, watching tv, reading, the whole summer/bum thing. then last monday and tuesday, we stayed up till about this time while helping out my eldest sister jia finish some of the work she brought home. felt like my work days in the philippines a few years ago. i even had to play evanescence songs to keep my awake!

shoot, i can hear the birds chirping now. will be going to bed now, before my parents wake up and catch me... nitey nite!

** i started writing this on 07-13-2006 @4:22am. i just didn't want to post two entries in one day =p
