phire elum - i am back....

Life has been hectic, to say the least. The weekend was fun though. We went for a picnic on Saturday to the beach – a barbeque party. i grilled pork chops and baby pork ribs and everyone love them. And we had grilled pineapples – they taste sinfully delightful, try them someday. The weather was great and we had a great time wading in the water, playing baseball and just lazing around. By the time i got back, i found i had sunburns – i will never learn to love sunscreen lotion – and i had a headache. The price we pay for the joys of life!

On Sunday, we went to the flea market – i buy my larger-than-me jumbo suitcases from there. It was so bloody hot but we braved the heat. i like the variety of things you get at the flea market - almost everything starting from toys to lingerie to fresh veggies.

On Monday, we went mall hiking. There is a mall i religiously visit before going home to complete my shopping agenda. Sale, sale, sale everywhere – gap, guess, van huesen, banana republic wagera wagera. We had a whale of a time picking out good bargains – for a short amount of time i actually overcame my allergy to shopping! Seven hours and several hundred dollars poorer, we ended the spree. The car was packed with all the goodies – gifts for everyone (my, i am such a nice person!!). I think I have done my share of shopping for the entire year. i know i am going to exceed the weight limit yet again for the nth time. Maybe i should take an extra luggage, that way i would be able to take home all my books with me. My collection over here has more than hundred books now.

On the net, i have been buying things left, right and bottom! i bought an apple ipod for him. i am thinking of buying the canon s3 is digital camera for him. It is a tad bit expensive but what the heck, i can afford it , if only for him. Such love, honey!

Work has been really frenetic. i have been working late into the night – no time for books and candles and yes, blogging. Life is fun – if you know where to look for it!
