My CPU is back. Thank God! Octagon called me today afternoon was I was still asleep for I slept late yesterday from attending a friend's birthday. Knowing it was Octagon that called, I went to the computer shop right away to pick my CPU. Good thing I didn't need to pay for the repair because it is still under warranty. I forgot about it. It saved me some pesos.
I checked on my saved files right away when I arrived at my apartment with the CPU and glad all my files are still there, including the blog layouts I designed in Power Point. Now I can continue working on the job I left hanging. There are blog designing jobs that I need to finalize and articles I need to publish. I am running out of time since deadline is fast approaching. It means I'll be a busy bee again tonight.

Time check: it is 2:49 a.m. right at this moment I finished writing this first sentence. Obviously I am still awake at this very moment. I have been a busy bee since yesterday...and until today. For the first time, I am loaded with a lot of writing jobs. For me who haven't been blessed with more than three writing jobs a day, I can say "a lot" for it's not just two or three but eight jobs with reasonable compensation, even more reasonable for my writing skill. I am too overwhelmed with it. I do hope though that all eight articles will be approved. I am not boasting here nor complaining, I am liking it actually. I am liking this reason of being a busy bee for it means getting a living. If only it could be like this everyday, I would gladly accept. Thank God!
By the way, to all Chinese bloggers and friends, I hope it is not too late to greet you a Happy Chinese New Year / Kung Hei Fat Choi / Xīnnián kuà ilè / 新年快樂!!!

We just took my uncle, the husband of my mother's elder sister, to his final resting place last Friday at one in the afternoon after the mass in Sta. Filomena Parish Church. Many of the family, relatives and friends came along to support the family of the deceased in that very moment of vain. The moment when they could only do a final glance at their beloved who couldn't be with them anymore physically. Although many would utter soothing words to calm the raging painful emotions of the family, still it is unacceptable that the person you most love have already left the world and couldn't be seen, couldn't be touched anymore. Seeing my aunt and her children crying as the worker finally covered the grave was very heartbreaking. It was too painful I know. At this time when the pain of being left by a loved-one is still fresh, it's hard for them to accept that they could no longer see him walking, talking, laughing but I know they'll forget the pain eventually and all that they can remember are the happy memories.

As a continuation to the photo of me hugging the impostor giant snowman, here's another photo taken still in the man-made land of USA in the Dipolog City boulevard. This time, I was opening (trying to) the gifts Santa dropped under a tree not far away from the snowman. The trembling rain shower didn't stop me from opening the first gift only to find out it was properly wrapped. I gave up and decided to buy balut instead. Credit to my photographer for capturing my moment of amusement. I link this to 366 Blog Photo Challenge.

Credit to my friend for taking this picture of me with my father on my 25th birthday. It is very seldom to see him in pictures with us as he doesn't like camera flash that much. My birthday went just fine even though my mother and brother weren't able to come over and celebrate it. My father, sisters and friends made my birthday celebration fun at least.

These are the Christmas gifts that my sister and I helped getting and wrapping for our parents, brother and the kids in the house after celebrating my little birthday party at my apartment in Dipolog City. We brought these gifts on the afternoon of the 25th since we didn't able to come home on the Christmas Eve. So the opening of gifts happened on the night of December 25, still Christmas. I enjoyed looking at the recipients excited faces as they opened their gifts. I wrapped Unisilver watches for father, brother and sisters and a Secosana bag for my mother. It was nice looking at their happy faces to have at least received a gift on Christmas. I was able to open gifts that night too. I received a Bobson top from Cheep and a pair of Unisilver butterfly earrings from Cheem. We didn't wrap gifts this year for all my godchildren for I did not have the money for it. It was sad but the current financial situation couldn't be helped. We didn't even have a Christmas preparation, which was alright. At least we all were able to be together on Christmas day.

I just learned today about 366 Blog Photo Challenge hosted by Dhemz of Me & My Passion. I am glad I checked out the latest updates in Bisdak Blogger group in Facebook where the said blog photo challenge was posted.
I am catching up. The challenge is now on its third day. My share today would be this picture below:
Above was taken yesterday night while driving along the boulevard in Dipolog City. Yes, you can still feel the spirit of Christmas there.
The photos below were taken on the New Year's Eve.
We had a lot of fun firing the few fireworks we had on that Eve.

This is a very late blog post entry to claim my prize - a page rank shirt to Gagay's contest. I am so sorry for I've been very busy going out and about last December not to mention the busy preparations for the special occasions I've celebrated during that month. There were two birthdays (mine and my youngest sister's) to prepare, the Christmas eve, alumni homecoming and New Year. Last month/year was pretty a busy month for me so I hope I could still get a chance to claim my consolation prize, which is a medium Page Rank 2 Shirt. Could I, Ms. G?
