bits.

I've used this line so many times. Haven't been posting as regularly as I'd hoped. Been quite busy the past few days (nee weeks) and there's nothing new to talk about really.
Spent the weekend in Nasugbu, Batangas swimming, drinking and eating. Pretty much the only things I want to do anywhere. The last time I went to the beach was in 2005, when I first went to work in Iloilo. That's 18 months ago. I've aways enjoyed going to the beach. There's something about the ocean that calms me. I always enjoy taking a dip on the warm waters, even if on my own, and this time it's no different. I went as far of shore as possible and just laid there with just my thoughts to accompany me. (I think I've said that line too many times too!) Tried a bit of snorkeling as Alex brought some gear. Too bad there wasn't much to see beneath the waters as the sand was grey instead of beige, and there aren't any corals. There were a handful of of other guests. Groups were crowding the videoke machine, trying their darndest best to stay in tune. We ate, we drank and we swam. A perfect blend for a good weekend.

uneventful

It isn't surprising that I wasn't able to post anything these past few weeks, my life has been routine. Spent the Holy Week lazily as I just watched cable TV, surfed the Net. Chatted a lot, mostly at night and exchanged emails during the day. I DID, however, was able to complete my first Visita Iglesia. Audie and I met at the first church and walked to the other churches. It was a leisurely hike most of the way as we talked about how to split up the 200M lotto jackpot that week.

My days are mostly spent staring aimlessly into my computer (at work or at home), daydreaming most of the time while tapping the keys and trying to drone my work into completion. Life's like that, well my life at least.

I've been also kept busy by some minor repair works at home and in our apartments for rent. Both structures are quite old as you'll notice with it's architecture. Most houses built during that time looked that way in my neighborhood. In my head, I've already drawn up the plans in case my Mom wants to renovate again but in the meantime, a few plugs here and there will do.

I'm also sorting out my mess of a room. All the magazines, books and whatnot that I bought will slowly be redistributed, thrown or be given away to clear up some space. Slowly but surely I'm getting there.

I have a few other plans in my head, not necessarily for houses but for myself and I'm clearing up all the unnecessary clutter. In the meantime, this will do.
