We visited our Sarah last Sunday. After three weeks of staying home, my husband and I decided to hang around at our Sunday hangout. Actually, the main purpose was to visit our Sarah. Oh God, I missed her so much. It's just like a feeling of a mother being away from her daughter. Since I was so busy lately, it took 2 days for me to post about this. It is not easy to do my assignments and update my blogs at the same time. Besides, I just transferred Sarah's pictures from my phone to my computer. She have grown so big now and she still remember us which actually made me glad. As soon as she saw us at the gate she then rushed to us wagging her tail. She is such a beautiful and disciplined baby.

I received the Christmas gift today that Ate Vhing sent to me. My husband surprised me this afternoon when I got home from my class saying “I got something for you baby, check it out on top of the fridge”. When I checked for it, I saw a postal card saying I got a package to claim at the postal office. We claimed it today after lunch. If you still remember, it was an award I got from Ate Vhing’s surprise contest being her top EC dropper last January 09 in her SURVIVOR: the REALITY of my LIFE blog. I received a lovely, long-sleeved, yellow shirt with imprints on the front “I love Jerusalem” and the beautiful poster of Jerusalem. The poster is so beautiful. My husband has been exploring it earlier checking out the places of Jerusalem because there are tourists’ points on the back of it. What’s nice is my husband got a gift as well, a long-sleeved gray shirt with imprinted pictures of Jerusalem and American Flag and a phrase under saying “United Forever”. These gifts we got are not just an ordinary Christmas gifts. There is a meaning to it, which is “friendship and unity among people”. Thanks a lot to Ate Vhing for the wonderful friendship you have shared with me in the blogosphere which serves as the means of our unity as well as the friendship you have shared with me and my husband. You are such a wonderful person, a friend and a mom. Thank you also for the generosity and the time and effort of sending your Christmas gifts from Jerusalem to here in the Philippines. I wish you more and more success in life, more blessings and good health.

Since Christmas and Valentine’s Day is over, I finally decided to give up red color as what I have been using for my blog’s theme. I highlighted the color “pink” in this theme now having black as the supporting color. I have been tweaking this blog since last night. This is the first major blog makeover I ever did in my blogs. It took so long for me to figure out how to read the layout codes and look for the particular codes that needed to be changed in the html box. The codes are way too sensitive because failure or putting semi colons, periods, etc..can cause some disaster to your blog’s appearance. This theme now may not be perfect for everybody (as you notice the body background; the slants/stripes are not properly aligned) but I love this theme. I can’t even believe I did this. At least I got a reward from my hard work. I would like to thank Bea Creations, Shari Ez's Scrapez Scrap Kit and CJS Creations for the papers and graphics I used here which I got from their freebie kit. Thank you , thank you much. You guys really have creative hands and minds.

Check out my hubby's happy face. That is the smile that i have fallen in love with. Lol. I took this picture of him when we were getting ready to leave the house for our first Valentine's dinner date. We were not together last Valentine's day. I remember, he visited me last year but he had to leave before the hearts day for work. So we didn't celebrate it together though he hid a gift for me somewhere in my room. Yes, he made me a Valentine's gift hunter last year. If you notice, my husband is wearing the red shirt i got for him last Christmas. He haven't wear it since.
I would like to share with you here our photos taken before we left home for our date.
Sorry about the silly pictures I can't help myself to share it with you here...hehehehe. My hubby is very silly yet I love it. We are not only lovers but we are also best of friends and we are just so in love.

I was so busy yesterday that I was not able to do blog hopping. Our computer teacher gave us an assignment to make a slideshow in PowerPoint. We were required to make a story about our experiences as an exchange student to any foreign countries in a form of a slideshow of about 10 pages. It’s all up to us to choose which country we like to be a make-believe-foreign-exchange student. Since it is to be passed today I prioritized it yesterday and neglected my blogging career for that day. It took me many hours to do the slideshow. I started doing it around 2 pm after an hour rest from lunch. I reached almost 3 am this morning making my 7th slide. Yes, I didn’t get any sleep until 5 in the morning. I got up around 10 am and just decided not to go to school. I was so glad I finished all ten pages for my slideshow today and passed/sent it to my teacher’s email address before the required time of passing. Check out my slide pages.

While visiting ate VhingF's blog and scrolling down to her posts, the post entitled "What Chinese Animal Am I?" caught my fancy. Actually I already know what animal I am according to Chinese Astrology. Yet, i want to know again what are my characteristics in accordance to this animal's characteristics. I kept asking myself, why is it that my chinese animal is tiger? What role does this animal plays in my life? Sometimes I make joke to myself, maybe the reason why I got tiger as my chinese animal because i got tiger's canine teeth....yes, if I don't wear my four false teeth. Well, you may believe my characteristics written above or not, it is all up to you. I am not even a believer of this myself but what is written above are quite true about me. Check out yours too and take some of the Fun Quiz.

Wow..Thanks for this tag Manang Rose. Oh how i love this tag because I can finally express how much I love Beetle cars. It is my big dream to own a beetle car since I was young. I just simply love it. It is cute, unique in style or should i say quite different from other cars, and beetles are beautiful. I searched lately over the Internet getting latest update in the New Beetle world.

Marathon is always a great experience. It’s been a long time since I participated, so when my teacher informed us about the marathon, I didn’t think twice of signing up. Though I did not win and almost had a heart attack, at least I tried to run through the finish line. I gain a lot of weight for over two months and going down stairs and up even make me winded. So, it was also a way of giving me reason to exercise and sweat. It was fun running together with my co-students and having chitchat. The marathon started early as five in the morning, so before five a.m. I was already there. My husband was not able to come, yet he was the one who woke me up and made hot water for my bath. I took a bath real fast, dried my hair with blow dry and get dressed. I was so excited...I guess I was just letting out the kid in me. LOL. My husband took pictures of me before I left home. I am sorry though if I was not able to take pictures at the marathon, I did not take anything except money; I thought it would be a great disturbance for my running. So, here are the pictures.
After I reached the finish line I went home straight and changed and hurried myself to go to school to watch the Military Tactical Evaluation. The attendance was checked. That's the life of a student. I am loving it..yeah right..because I have no choice...I want to finish.

Today's Photohunt theme is bridge. I have been scanning all my folders of pictures here in my computer. I didn't find a picture of a bridge except this one. This is just a very small bridge where my husband is standing at but I am sure this can be considered as bridge because it is a pathway over the water. This was taken in the Vietnam Village, Puerto Princesa City in Palawan.

I got this tag from Chubskulit. Thank you for sharing this with and I'm sorry if I grab this tag late. I was busy that day you gave me this tag with school projects and examinations. Now that I am free and not sleepy I am giving myself time to think of the weird things about me.
Here are the 6 weird things about me:
1. I can't sleep without rubbing my feet on the pillow or any other soft and smooth thing. So, usually when i sleep whether daytime or nighttime I usually have pillow for my feet. It is weird because I can't sleep without it. I don't know though if others find it weird.
2. I fart in front of my hubby. It is my newly developed weirdness. I'm just lazy to go to the bathroom just to fart.
3. I don't close bathroom door when i go potty if I'm just in the house. I feel like i can't breath.
4. I smell my used tampon before i throw it in the trash can. I don't know but i like smelling it before throwing it away. Have you tried that?
5. Wherever I lay my nails like pick my nose, scratching my head, taking my eyes' burgers, picking wax, i smell it first before wiping off. Sorry, but it's true. You may find it dirty, yes it really is but I am doing it that's why i am calling it weird.
6. I like smelling my husband's armpit especially if he haven't taken a bath yet. I like his smell but i hate it when i smells bad particularly my armpit after sweating my ass off from my PE class.
