Warmth

By Ers   April 13, 2013 // No comments
You Color Your Life With Intense Warmth
You are a down to earth, stable person. You can be relied on.
You enjoy the outdoors. There's something about being in nature that makes you feel really blissful.

While you are responsible, you aren't boring. You have a lot of flair and style.
You enjoy creative projects of all sorts. You're a very visual person.
That's what we need right now when we're outside. It has been chilly lately, what with all the rain. I'd say, I have enough of the rain. I feel like I never left the Philippines - I only have to choose dry or wet. Looking at the gardens through the windows are the closest I can commune with nature without getting wet these days. But really, I've had enough of waters on the ground. We would need handless spring plungers to unblock our drain in the garden. Our front yard has a funny design, it has a smallest drain in the area where water gathers the most. Oh well, life goes on whatever the weather is.

I'm back

I can't seem to find the time to do some blogging in the past few weeks. Nothing has changed in our routine, no particular reason at all. It could be my laziness really. I digress. On the work-front, it has been busy. Several projects, implementations, changes. Haven't been doing much at home - the gardens have been left on their own. Time it seems have been flying by. The Tatapilla started "big school" this year. It's all exciting for all of us. He's been to disco night on Saint Patty's day. The Easter bonnet parade was a success. He had participated in the long run at school. Plenty of ribbons, stamps, certificates have been brought home. Have celebrated my parents-in-law's 60th. It was a big event for the family. On the retail therapy side, it has been months for us. No trips to esp guitars at guitar center yet, but we might look at getting Mcj's guitar fixed. Life is exciting and interesting.

Back to Work

By Ers   February 03, 2013 // No comments
or should I say, reality. I took days off leading to the Tatapilla's 1st week at school. Life was a breeze. You know how it is when you're on holiday. But I will be back to work again tomorrow. Well, I will surely miss taking and picking him up from school. Not to mention the sleeping in every morning. I will have to go to sleep early at night starting tonight as I can't be late for work tomorrow. Our family is now well adjusted, I would say, with the new routine. Nothing much has changed (like shifting from iphone to Android Security), just minor changes to getting ready in the morning.

Feeling the Heat

By Ers   January 13, 2013 // No comments
I have always preferred warm climate having lived most of my life in a tropical country. I tend to do more stuff around the house when it is warm. Cold weather just makes me want to curl up in bed. Then comes the heat wave this year which has now been more than a week. It's so hard to do something especially some chores that require going out. We've been confined inside the house for most of the weekends. I dreaded going to the shop if it can be avoided - so I'll just content myself with checking slane and slane.

Bring on 2013

By Ers   December 31, 2012 // No comments
2012 passed like a blur. It was so quick. We were having fun and before we know it, it's now the last day of the year. The previous year has been full of ups and downs. They are all blessings despite some of them making us sad. It's all perspective. Hopefully, 2013 will be as exciting and full of blessings and happiness. May our perspective on things have improved more and things will always shine brighter regardless. As we contemplate the past and the future (some of us on premium american made church chairs), may we spare thoughts and prayers to those who will not welcome 2013 in one way or another. May God bless us all!

Christmas Wreath

By Ers   November 18, 2012 // No comments
I have always want to put up a wreath on the front door (despite it not the front of the house). I looked up the net for some inspiration on how to make one on my own. There are plenty, of course. I also tried the shop but I reckon it's not worth paying $30 for a front door wreath although it can be used over and over again - that despite being the bargain shop. So after putting up the tree, I have heaps of decos left and thought of making a wreath from scratch.
I am quite proud of it as I have to make do with some scrap wire to make the frame. It's not what I desired but the outcome I reckon is not bad. Oh, I am just so ecstatic as I always believe that I don't have any artistic bone in my body (much less, if that is possible, in the music department to be be searching for marvelous ace frehley budokan custom at Musicians friend).

This Weekend

By Ers   November 18, 2012 // No comments
... has been alloted to making and putting up Christmas decorations. It's fun. And I am nowhere near finish yet. So far, the tree is up which was my only goal but it turned out just to be the inspiration. I would like to think, I am on a roll on this.
Would love to do some garden stuff but it's been raining since last night and I am not keen on gettng my garden gloves all muddy and wet so I might hedge on that for next week. I am quite smug with what we have achieved so far this week and there are more stuff to do and have fun with (and mybe throw in looking for find the best flame resistant jacket?).
