from happy to grumpy

Slept and woke up late today. Mom is out to attend a two-day seminar in the city so I got more reason to stay home and keep my sister Thea and the kids company especially at night. But last night we chose not to sleep and instead play our favorite card games until five this morning. We only had coffee and of course chips and crackers to keep us awake. My niece Bernadeth didn’t make it as late as we did. She passed out after midnight. I know not a healthy sleeping time for a school girl like her but we sure only do it and allow her to stay up late during weekends. Not as often even.

So anyway, the morning came and so is the time of the month. Such a crazy way to greet the day! From happy now I feel so grumpy. But no I don’t want to take it out to no one so I just decided to go back to sleep after I took lunch, my first meal for the day which I wouldn’t have had if not for my niece, MJ who woke me up.

It’s past five in the afternoon. I thought it’s already a brand new day when I opened my eyes and rose from bed. I took a shower to freshen up and ate dinner after. Wow, what a feeling it was! I feel like I been from an all night drinking session. But I swear I wasn’t. If I were to drink, it is more likely just by my self which I so rarely do if not with a group like my cousins on a certain occasion.

Although, I would have loved to drink too last night but there’s nowhere near to get the kind of drink that we want. We don’t live in the city where some stores are 24 hours open. Besides we can’t just leave the kids alone just to get what we want.

wish i know its name

Would anyone know what this plant is called?

By this little flower shop was where we parked our car while waiting for my Aunties to run their errand at the municipal hall of Mambajao in Camiguin during our fourth and final day. I didn’t really intend to buy flowers but just so to have to do while waiting, I went to see what’s inside it and it astonished  me to realize that these hanging vines were actually roofing the entire shop making  its environment so relaxing and cool. While on the ground lays hundreds of different kind of plants and flowers for sale.

My cousin managed to ask how to grow the vines and the owner was so kind to explain it to us and even gave us some of its braches for free. I replanted it right away as soon as we got home and now it is starting to climb up on the wood stick that I buried down by it. Now the only thing that bothers my mind is its name. Wish I know what it’s called.

plans and projects galore (one at a time)

As noted, I shall be posting pictures of our Camiguin Island escapade from last week but again I need few more time to do that because all the pictures come in a not so space friendly file sizes. I need to resize them to both save space and to make uploading much faster.

While doing that, I’ll be also printing some of them. My scrapbook project has been put aside after my printer runs out of ink. Now that it’s refilled, there’s no more reason to let it sleep still.

Next in line…

Flower planting project.
Landscaping my front yard.
Launching a new blog (hopefully).

Sigh!

But yes, with fingers crossed, I’m hoping to get them all done… one at a time.

bookworm adventures

This game is what’s keeping me company during those days that my mood was so off from blogging. Perhaps you too already have met Cassandra, the Oracle, Professor Codex and of course Lex, the great adventurer in this old familiar vocabulary (spelling) game.

It took me a while to find a free full version of this game since all I could get from free downloads online was only the trial version. Thanks to the last computer tech who did my PC… he’s so kind to have installed it along with few more educational games for free! I used to play the deluxe version of the game before. Like any other popular online games these days, this can be addicting too that I could spend some sleepless nights with.

But of course you don’t want to start playing without having those packs of junkies ready and handy or else it’ll take you forever to win the battle. :D
