Just Another Day in Sunny Florida

It’s official. I have decided to use my Blogger account to post my daily experiences and ramblings as a new resident here in sunny Florida. My life in the Philippines is totally different from here, so using the same title, “A Life Less Than Ordinary”, is no longer appropriate. Don’t get me wrong. I do not expect to be “somebody” in the US. Right now, I feel like a small fish in a big pond - to be precise, an ocean. Also, I am taking blogging to the next level. Blogging for cash, so to speak. Friends, please continue to patronize my blog site, and so I am with yours. I want to register my own domain name there, but I am still contemplating on what to use. My first choice was MySunnyFlorida.Com, but it’s already taken. I’ll take my time. I have to think. For now, you can visit my Blogger URL…

If you notice,some post post are deleted. These are the post I made when I was still enjoying life in the Philippines. The post I made in FL are all in Just Another Day In Sunny Florida.I apologize for those who take the time to comment.

Thank you, and see you there.

New Picture Header

My heartfelt salamat to Mr. N.S. for letting me borrow a picture from his Camiguin Island trip in the Philippines. You are such a kind person, and I hope that you never cease taking wonderful pictures from all over the world.

One thing I can tell you - this guy never forget to bring his camera wherever he is. Visit his Flickr site, and you will be awed with his collection.

To Mr. N.S…take care and enjoy cold Germany. Send my regards to PJ too.

My Last Post in the Philippines

This is my last post with a Philippine IP address. Tonight is the night. Amber and I are set to leave for the US to join my adoring husband. Yahooo!!!!I dunno when I can post again.  So many things to do after arriving there. Hayyy….Rest assured, all will be remembered and thought of.

Thank you to those who has to put up with my attititude. Take care, my friends…I’ll be back (blogging) soon!!!

Signing off…for now.

Beware: A Wolf In A Sheep’s Skin

Have you ever been somebody’s confidant? How does it feel when somebody trusts you? Elated, right? A confidant, a best friend. This is how we perceive it. But sad to say, when one is tempted by the shining glory of promises and power, one becomes a disgusting traitor, a sheep in a wolf’s clothing.

Today is an awakening day. Somebody opened my eyes for me (thanks to you).

For three months, I have been cautious and distant to people I used to trust. People who know how and what I feel with just anything, be it personal or about work. Day after day, I carried a heavy and crashed heart, bravely keeping the pain inside and learned to be numbed. I was admittedly a calloused judgmental ego-centric being. I became stiff and cold-hearted….and all this for nothing. All along, I was wrong. All my beliefs were negated and disproved. I was barking at the wrong tree.

I hate myself for hating the wrong people (don’t worry, very far from suicidal). Guilt is engulfing my whole being now. I need to say sorry to these people.

It all started from a tattling love-stricken man, who betrayed his influential (ex)best friend in favor for a bright future (who can blame him). Such betrayal stirred and stained a chain of relationships. I can go on with my rants, but my eyes are now yelling. Geez, it’s already 12:45AM, and I need to sleep.

To this man, I hope you know the Law of Gravity by heart, so you will not be surprised with your future downfall

Malu Fernandez’s Controversy

I got another forwarded email concerning the latest (is it still?) online bruhaha of former “Fierce and Fabulous” columnist, Ms. Malu Fernandez. I have seen a feature of this famous mahaderang matapobre in primetime news, but I was too busy devouring every morsel of food in my plate at that moment, and so, I did care to lift a hair internalizing the situation.

Now that I have read various online opinions of what had transpired, I want to say this to her “THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE BETTER LEFT UNSAID”.

I hope that her resignation will put an end to this online saga.

The Sad Part of Leaving

While eating breakfast this morning, I told my mother, “One week to go, and we are leaving”. Oh man, she instantly wept and remarked, “Don’t talk about it, it just makes me lonely”. “Is it because of money matters?” I asked. “No, I am sad just because of the thought of you and Amber leaving and not seeing you everyday“, she replied. Seeing her cry was excruciating, and I was on the verge of weeping too, and so I left the table, pretending that I was done. Dang, I never thought of them being sad concerning my (and Amber’s) permanent departure. My mother and I have this cat-and-dog kind of relationship. My mother being so conservative and traditional type, and me, being the very open-minded and practical person you could ever imagine (blame it on so much trials and tribulations in my past, which I chose to hurdle alone), minor understandings are sure to be always blown out of proportion. What I like about our family, we don’t hold grudges to each other. Whenever we have siblings (or parent-child) quarrel, an hour after that, it seems that nothing is wrong, and everything is back to normal. I will surely miss them. Thanks God, there the Internet to hook us up even if we are thousand of miles apart.

In the picture…when our family was still small….my father, my older sister (red dress), my mother and yours truly (with “stylish” hair..LOL)
