Insightful, Hopeful

Finally, after not being able to be online for a month or so, I'm back and with a vengeance hehe (just kidding).

It turns out, the modem was not working and so I bought an internal one which I installed inside the CPU myself.  I was able to succeed in adding memory in my computer (read the memory story here), so I was more confident this time.

I missed blogging, just being able to rant or rave about anything in your life. Also, my favorite co-bloggers, J and Cat are also back on track so at least I'll be keeping up with their lives as well.

 Btw, I just want to congratulate Cat for passing the NCLEX. Good job, girl! I knew you'd made it. Also, congrats to my friend Mel for passing the CIA (it's for auditors). I'm so lucky to have smart friends. :)

So what have I been up to? There's nothing much, but I had some nice memories recently. I've been able to go out some of my college friends last time, Marilen and JV and talked mostly about career. I also met Kate with Ken last time in Shangrila almost a month ago, and talked about raising Kate's daughter and some other serious issues. (Hello to Kate, who's just discovered my blog). It's really wonderful to go out to see old friends once in a while.

Oh, my mom celebrated her 70th bday last July 8. Belated Happy Birthday mom! We had a bigger celebration this time with at most 80 people, which is befitting for a superb woman like her. Love you mom!

Our AFLSer (Lea Salonga group) friend, Mimi, also came from the US. She got to meet us finally. We ate at Ebun restaurant in Glorietta. It was nice meeting you in person Mimi, and I hope you enjoyed your stay here.

Also because of the bad weather, I've had an excuse to continue my TV series marathon. I'm almost through watching the 1st season of LOST. Too bad Boone died. He is my crush in the series. I also like Kate's character though she didn't have such a great past.

I'm excited to watch the new reality shows "Philippine Idol" and "Pinoy Dream Academy". I wonder which talent show will produce the more popular star. The 1st season of a talent search almost always makes the winner an instant hit, and declines with the succeeding seasons. I hope these two shows will create a new trend since the contestants' age limit has been raised to 28 years old.
