I know you’re right. you know you’re right. but would you rather be right or be happy?

Ahh. At least this one I will not forget. Going on 6th year already, I’m glad I was able to do this face-to-face with the Calims this week.  So, 2009 is almost officially over, and I’m ready to share my top 5s already.

As before, this is our year end review that Kris and I (with her hubby Harv recently joining in), share with each other.  It had to be 5 big events (good or bad) that has happened to us.

My previous recorded 5’s are here and here and hopefully I get to document future ones.  Only because it gives quite a nice summary, year per year.

Without any further ado, (drum roll please) here’s my 5:

1. Filipino Dragons Singapore (or FDS) as mentioned in a previous entry.  For the first time in my entire life, I’m part of a sports team.  One that (for the sports bit) trains hard, competes, loses graciously and wins spectacularly.   In relation, there’s the definite weight loss/gaining of muscles/evening of tan, that comes with the love of the sport.  But wait, there’s more.  Ever since I’ve joined, I’ve upped my social scene with this group who tends to party as hard as we train.  Without FDS this year, life would have definitely be less fun. continue reading » »
   

it doesn’t mean forgotten. it means, busy. (have you ever wondered whether “busy” sounds quite similar to “lazy”?)

hello once again, and this time, diary, i give you full permission to kick me in the butt for being too “busy” to forget about you.

but never mind about that. here we go for a short update. continue reading » »

… what now?

Dati, sabi sabi lang.  Ngayon mukhang tinutotoo na.  Bawal na gumamit ng “mukhang libro” sa opisina.  Kahit anung oras.  Pakshet naman.  Anu na pampetiks ko nyan??  Sabagay, sobrang inaabuso na ng mga tao dito.  Di ko sila (mga amo) masisi.  Sisihin ko na lang ang mga gumawa ng panlarong bukirin.  Peste, bakit ba kse daming na-a-adik dun?  Kailangan ba talagang minut-minuto, alamin kung anu nangyari sa mga tanamin?

“Kung nagmahal ka ng taong di dapat at nasaktan ka, wag mong sisihin ang puso mo. Tumitibok lang yan para mag-supply ng dugo sa katawan mo. Ngayon, kung magaling ka sa anatomy at ang sisisihin mo naman ay ang hypothalamus mo na kumokontrol ng emotions mo, mali ka pa rin! Bakit? Utang na loob! Wag mong isisi sa body organs mo ang mga sama ng loob mo sa buhay! Tandaan mo: magiging masaya ka lang kung matututo kang tanggapin na hindi ang puso, utak, atay o bituka mo ang may kasalanan sa lahat ng nangyari sayo, kundi IKAW mismo”

It’s raining.
It’s a holiday.
It’s training day.
It’s breakfast picnic day.
It’s a happy day.

I love holidays! ♪ ♫ ♪

What are you upto?

This really is becoming (has become) a pathetic state of a blog. Hehe. I don’t know how addicted I was to this when I first started.

But anyway, in due respect to my chunk-change yearly domain registration, and to my avid reader (note: there’s no s in reader), here’s a slight update

• I currently live in Singapore - okay well not really an update since I’ve been here since March of last year, but just in case a reader/friend/family who happens to stumble by this blog and is still asking “Where the hell is Yevka?”, well that’s the answer. A happy update (from last November) is that I moved house - further away from the office and the town, but a better environment and way better facilities.  Better facilities included a tennis court, a swimming pool, gym and, my absolute favorite, a jacuzzi.  continue reading » »
  

No big announcement. Just that I am for now.
