Ola! not that am writing this from the Latin America, not at all. I haven’t been to some places lately. Am just right here, still in Fremantle. It’s just that so many things to do day and night ranging from domestic duties, my certificate studies, kids and their social life, and of course a bit of my social life too.

Yes ladies and gentlemen, am just trying to say, am just right here, in case you been wondring why I haven’t written anything new in my site…

One morning after coming home from school drop off, I was determined to get rid of the hairy growths in my upper lip, in a hurry I took out the wax strip and dabbed it in, lifted it, and oppps, not quiet right! What followed next was a nightmare, a burnt upper lip, swelling, and then was time to pick up the kiddos from school. Approaching school grounds, (mind you, I put it double amount of my face foundation trying to cover the burnt part,) a noticing mum politely ask, “Some hair removal going on Dear?” so I said, oh noh, with a blink, just a tender result of a Pash!.. (passionate kiss, which I cant recall the last time I had truthfully).

If and only, I live next door to a San Jose Laser hair removal clinic, I won’t have so much trouble in this little hairy department, although the people here do far more than that. Anyway, what was left now is the scar-ry patch that reminds few people how I got myself into deep Pash!

More than a decade and a half, I was one of those boys and girls in Davao City who have enthusiastically ventured and tried my hands into computer programming… It’s been so long now that I can’t recall all the technical part of it but I still remember the social part of working life in those years. I was 18 then, a sophomore in a Catholic College of Davao, madly in love, full of energy, few more admirers lurking in the dark, lots of friends and giggles. Wonderful Days… in fact, I dedicate Songs that was hit in that year, in particular BETTER DAYS and MISS YOU LIKE CRAZY! May I take the previlege to mention my co- programmers and friends at same time, Antonio Ancheta, Alex, Ellen Evangelista, Robert Raguro,Rene Ariaga, Jun Mac, Nong Joven, Manong Pabs, a young lady whose Dad was an Executive of Pillsbury Phils., Lisa ( you must be an Attorney now) and many more.

I haven’t really thought about this period in my life until I saw the San Diego Internet Marketing and suddenly I was reminded how we envisioned ourselves then to be as successful as these people are now in this particular field.

Well guys, we still are successful now in our own way aren’t we? For most of us, we now have lives that we never thought we’ll have years and years ago, isn’t it amazing? At that time as a programmer myself, I thought we are all a hit because we do something different for a living,(well, I mean, we’re struggling to make both ends meet) and people don’t even know how we can earn, what is Dbase 3 plus and what you mean by compiling it using Norton commander? What do you mean by Sales and Inventory System (thats my project with Mantex)

It was great experience to be in the programming industry those two years, a learning curve, being my first job.

Lookin at my right leg, you will discover the human map of life… Am talking about my veins, I have them and will have them for life, yet, because it’s properly positioned from behind, I don’t really take notice of it all unless I parade myself in my peach or sometimes in my mocha super duper skimpy shorts. And that happens mostl in the summer days, when the cal for the day is Domestic Duties. Oh, housewives, aren’t we fool at times? As for me, hoovering with the vacuum cleaner infront of the mirrors that double as the cover for the children’s built in robe in their bedroom. Sounds ridiculous as it may seem, yet a posed or two doesn’t hurt, checking out if my Ever priced youth charisma still intact… Half way trough my quarter turns, the awful truth reveals that while I’m modestly growing in grace, my Veins have also progress to looking like the Outback map whith all its clear details. Holly Marry Me!

I know, with the advancement of Science and with the arrival of the Global Positioning System Apparatus… something could be done with eradicating human spider webs, and New Jersey Plastic Surgery specialists can deal with at their best. Hmmmm…. that something to think about.

One of the many secrets of my life that I’m gonna share with you anyway, ( and hope you only tell one of your friends..) is that as soon as I get up in the morning, I go to the bathroom, and weigh myself and hoping for the best. That’s before drinking water, before breakky etcetera and boy! it saves the day knowing that I am 3 kgs lighter than normal, hahahah. THe next one is during shower time, oh well, we don’t go to shower fully clothed don’t we? So needless to say I strip off and pretend that I’ve got a body to die for! My ears are busy listening to the Young Diva’s remake of “What a Feeling” while I’m swaying my dainty tosh and bending my flabby thighs! Goodness sake, time to hide behind the shower doors as the lifesize mirror had enough of the show. Unconsiously wiggling myself in the warmth of the shower, yet, in days like days, all I say is , HOW GREAT IT IS TO BE FABULOUS! then after 10 minutes, all dried and dressed, I get out from the bathroom and ready to do my day’s routine… until my son blurts out, do we have to walk to school Mummy so you can have your exercise?….

Beverly Hills Liposuction Surgery! am sure you got some answers in your palm but is it the way to go though?

If you ask the Man of the House what is his priceless chill out, his responce would be, along with a pile of thick books and not so thick in his arm saying ” just reading books really and checking the net for more information and maybe watching a bit of documentary on the ABC telly.”

That’s my Man, yeah, ( I got one, in case, I failed to mention it before, he’s the blessed One!)
He would be Happy as Larry lying in the couch in any of those comfy mornings, still in his jammies and velvety slippers, and if I happen to wander around the kitchen, to grab my morning tea, I will never be tempted to to say hi, hows your sleep or how’s your day? coz I very well know that he’s in it! Processing information, transporting himself to the scene of history. The same goes when he is in front of the computer and telly…I just have to take a peek, whats on screen then I know… and will never say a thing… That’s his CHILL OUT MOMENT, soon it’s finish and will be ready to impart that knowledge in the dining table, with Mel and Bien politely showing interest in the object matter and whenever they get a chance, they burst into laughter and share the latest gossip again from school.

And oh, haven’t told him yet about this site that George Lindemann Jr knew about. Would be interesting if The Man of the House discover some more history in there.

Did anyone have a great long weekend? Or shall I say refreshing Easter break? Well, I did!

Thanks to the Fremantle Street Festival where I was a proud spectator in the last two days. The famous Australian Street Festival attracts hundreds and thousands of awe-struck, excited and delighted audience every year. Fremantle is reknowned for its southern European, particularly Italian, influences. This makes for a fantastic array of restaurants, entertainment, festivals and maritime activities and lively conversations!

The shows were awesome, but at some stage, I could not resist the aroma coming from the restaurants along cappuccino strip. I console myself, just when this show finishes, I get myself a hearty meal of seafood in one of these Italian restaurants here, but at the same time, honestly, I really don’t want to miss a show, after all, this is why I came to Freo.

I’m on a holiday myself (I pretend I am in my own exotic place) so before this week ends, I’ll treat myself to a Premium, Italian Seafood Gourmet Pasta, fantastico!

I suppose, If I happen to be in San Diego, California, (my cousin Ira leaves there but I can’t pull a holiday yet to this place, so I remained in my home Freo), I’ll be browsing restaurants and won’t miss one of San Diego’s Banquet facilities
and grab a glass of good lovely Red!

Apprezzare!

Few weeks ago, myself and friend Dolly went for a retail therapy in the City’s big shooping area and scrambled our way into a table of further discounted shirts. The print suddenly caught my attention, “Lovely Summer Time” it says, so I then took it with me and went straight into the counter to pay for it, not even remembering to check if its the right size, well, luckily its size 12.. Yeah, thats it. Its Autum here in Western Oz now, but I still use the shirt, well, just every other day actually.

There is so much on shirt slogans, prints that captivates our interests, our way of expressing our thoughts, what we feel and what we believed. Check this out and if it suits you go for it, affliction clothing

So when they ask, What’s in a Shirt? Then you knew.

Last night, I was sooooo tired and thought a flicked on the telly might calm me down before bedtime, but alas, the show was all about celebrity make over, ah, this is interesting, so I grab a shot of Baileys and put my feet up, a drink on my left hand and remote control on the right hand ( it doesn’t usually stay long in my hand, but tonight is my night and remote control is all mine too).

The celebrities some looking glamourous and some, well, just ok, to think that all of them have gone under the knife. Demi Moore, Melanie Griffiths, Michael Jackson, to name a few.

I’ve learned that people who have done it first, specially celebrities, will keep asking for it, in search for perfection. Some did well, some were not quiet successful. Their face value lies in the hands of their surgeons. Not only it enhances their looks, but it had helped their self esteem as well, of course.

Plastic surgery is not for everyone, but if it’s for you why not visit Los Angeles facelift
who knows, like those celebrities, not only their carreer have soar but their bank balance as well!

For most of us, buying a car is a second largest investment in our lifetime, well, just after buying a house. I most cases we are confronted with many questions on what to look for, what we need and what we like in our car. We don’t want to end up buying something that doesn’t suit our lifestyle. There are other factors that we need t look at when contemplating what car is right for us, some of these are; good fuel economy,price,safety features,style/image,comfort, reputation of the manufacturer, reliability, performance, power and value for money.

I used to to think that buying a car and owning it is partly for the gratification of saying ” Hey, Wanna Ride My Car Baby?” but alas, there’s more than that. Spykers for sale is a place to be, and before you knew it, you’re on the road to more adventure.
