Unpublished Mementos

My weekend started with a dozen of beautiful white roses. Oh di ba?! What an extraordinary way to start my rest days... (weekends).

So ayun na nga, I get to take some rest! Kasi naman for the past week I've been so busy with a lot of things. My Mom visited Manila and at the same time we're busy processing our papers in preparation for our future plans. Hayy... ngayon lang talaga ako medyo nakapagpahinga so I spent most of my time here at home...

I just realize that I've been living here in our pad for more than 7 months and I haven't even published some snippets of a place I called home... well let me make "yabang" about our pad. Since kakalinis lang namin, I thought this is the best time to take some pic-pic kesa naman ipakita ko yung untidy version.

So there. Diyan din napupunta most of my salary. We frequent Home Store, Ace Hardware or Handyman everytime pupunta kami sa mall. Ako nga madalas din sa Makro to check out some cheap stuff I can add up to our interior. We have a small collection of Japanese-Oriental stuffs from stuff toys, display items, memorabilla, and even placematts. Yung center table dapat Japanese table yan kaso ang taas ng pinasadya ni Papa. Balak ko nga lagariin yung paa... haha!

We woke up Sunday morning to catch a 9 o'clock mass at Sanctuario De San Antonio kaso dumating kami 9:30 na. Malas pa is kakatapos lang ng mass and next is 10:30 pa. So we just decided to go to Market Market, take a heavy breakfast and go to the Tech Tiangge. I want to check out some MP4 players kasi.

Anyway, habang naglalakad-lakad we saw this cute cactus on sale... 3 for 100 ang labanan... quality na yung mga flowering cactus so panalong panalo di ba?! Mahilig kasi ako sa plants... sa pad I have flower pots lined up sa window... dun ko nga lang na discover na Euphorbia pala tawag dun sa flower plants ko na inuwi ko from Iloilo when I went there last August 2006.

So far I have a yellow and a pink-red Euphorbia. Nakakaaliw kasi hindi siya nawawalan ng flowers. Everyday may nahuhulog na flowers at may tumutubong bago kapalit. I also have a couple of cactus galing din sa Iloilo yung iba sa window din nakalagay but meron din sa comfort room namin. So when I saw this man selling these nice flowering cactus... bili na agad! Wala siyang kasamang pots so we went to Ace Hardware and bought some pots. Since our unit is at the 14th floor, pati fertilled soil kailangan naming bilhin dahil wala kaming pagkukunan sa bahay.

So there pagdating sa haws... I kept myself busy with my creation... ang ganda niyang tignan. We bought the ones na magbu-bloom pa lang yung flowers kaya exciting. I can't wait to see it bloom. Sa ganda ng quality na nabili namin... we decided pang center table siya. And yung isa naman katabi ng mga euphorbia. I just used my aquarium pebbles to cover the soil. Parang expert gumawa nu! I just realized also na mahilig pala ako sa matitinik na plants, hahaha! What the hell that means?

Well, I cannot end this blog entry without including my favorite marine aquarium. In fairness, my clown fish is 7 months old na rin. I also have a few damsels there and a couple of sea anemone.

So ayan nasama pa sa pic yung CVG ID. Ok na rin yan. That's one memento I also want to keep since I'll soon be leaving a lot of my friends and mentors there... I'm gonna miss you all! Hay Monday na naman work na naman... absent kaya uli ako?! Hihi...
