Kids, Issues & Being A Kid

Wow! It's been more than 3 weeks since I last updated my BLOG! That's a long time! I'm so sorry, to those who frequent my BLOG. Nothing much was happening in the last few weeks, and I didn't want to fill my BLOG with all the drama and negative things that were happening in my life.

Well, now, I have lots of things to write. I have had a lot of things happen in the last week that I just can't wait to share. But of course, I have to edit out things that are quite sensitive... Hehe!

First of all, I saw my nephew again!!! Yep! He's such a looker! He's just such a darling! Matty is growing up so fast! He's only about 4 months old, but he's a big guy! He's a sweetheart! His big, beautiful eyes just glisten with innocence and love! I can't wait to see him again!

I saw Matty during our family's mini-outing in Laguna last Saturday, October 16. It was my little cousin, Izabella's, 6th birthday. It was one of those events where we would just hang out, pig out, go out, etc. We'd see relatives we hardly ever see, and just enjoy each other's company. It's just like those old times when the whole clan gets together. It's such a fun experience.

In addition to the event being a fun experience, I also had the chance to have some R&R. It's so nice to get away from the city and just enjoy the mountainside. Although there was much commotion around, I was so happy that I was able to take a couple of restful naps. It was pure bliss!

Another event last Saturday Evening, that I quite enjoyed, was the get-together of my friends from RV Land. It was so nice to see them again. I just love exchanging conversations with some of them. I love the cheerful and jovial banter we all share! The way we would joke around just livens up my spirits (though we already got there around 11:30PM!).

That event, however, did not end well. There was a really big issue that was brought up in the wee hours of the morning. All the hollering and bawling woke those who were already peacefully asleep (myself, included). That is the sensitive issue that I mentioned I was omitting. It's just complicated.

Anyway, the week went on with nothing but that issue as a Hot Topic of discussion among my friends, my sister and myself. I'm glad that, though the issue was quite sensitive and somewhat damaging to the group, the group gets together more often because of it.

Last night, most of our friends stayed over in our house, after the taping of Regine Velasquez's Soap Opera, "Forever In My Heart." They're all leaving, together with my sister, for Lucena City, where Regine Velasquez will be having a concert. It's a long drive from our place to Lucena (about 3-4 hours), but I am sure that they'll all have a great time, like we had this morning!

This morning was just the best! It was like being a kid again! You see, we lost our water supply this morning, and the only way we could bathe was if we did it in our backyard, under the Water Tank. And guess what? There were 6 of us taking a bath in our backyard!!! Picture little kids enjoying the water on an open Fire Hydrant or Garden Sprinklers... That was exactly how we looked like! Hahaha! It was fun! Of course, we were fully clothed while taking a bath (I wore my 2-piece bathing suit)! We have no plans of becoming exhibitionists, even if our perimeter walls were high enough to cover us from the streets! It was so fun!

I mentioned the taping of "Forever In My Heart." Well, I was also there. For those who don't know me quite well, I have a certain grievance against Regine Velasquez, which I do not care to elaborate. I might get reprimanded again by those people who hover around her. (There goes the Right of Free Speech, out the window and down the drain!!!)

Anyway, I went along with my sister, because I know our friends will be there and that we'll be able to rant about the issue again. It kinda helps release the building tension inside when we talk about it and rant some more. I really enjoyed that. We also got to see another friend who does not really hang out with us, but is still considered as a part of the group. It's just so nice to be with them again, though they were there for Regine.

I love being a kid. And being with my little cousins and some friends made me feel like one! Oh joy! Here's to being a kid for a time!

Hi, there! I'm Marilen and Michelle Dela Cruz ( a good friend and work colleague) directed me to your blog. I started reading you past posts last Friday and I really like the recipes you shared (specially the Vermicelli dish which we will try this weekend).
Yay! I also hate Regine V. ;-)
Hope you don't mind if link you to my blog (=
