My Comfort Zone

Archive for May, 2010

A visit from an elementary friend’s brother surprised me the other day. As soon as I went out of the house to greet him, I know he was carrying good news with him because of the smile on his face. But I never expected that it would be about my friend’s wedding. Well, I am happy for her because she’s tying the knot soon but I actually thought she had already married her long-time boyfriend and had just forgotten to invite me. HEE-HEE-HEE.

I got a simple but nice invitation. The wedding will be on June 8 and I think I will browse for a nice wedding gift and shop for a nice formal dress for me, too, since it will be a formal ceremony. What would be the nicest wedding gift to give? Maybe a prenatal vitamin supply, boxes of ‘em,because I’m sure she’ll be needing them in a few months’ time after the wedding. Just kidding! But you get the idea, huh? (“,)

It’s been raining since early afternoon and I could not have been happier. It’s what everyone in the city, if not, all the people in the entire country has been wishing for for weeks now. Being a tropical country, it’s almost summer in here all throughout the year but the actual summer falls on April and May though the weather starts to get hotter by March. It is the hottest month actually. Temperature ranges from 32 to 35 degrees Celsius and can you imagine how hot that can be?

I’m just so glad it rained today and it’s not just rain but a real heavy downpour. Yes, it is raining cats and dogs and I guess it will be like this until in the evening. I so love it because it’s cool and very conducive for sleeping. Just what a sleepyhead like me, likes! Hehe.

After having to undergo a difficult pregnancy for nine months, my sister-in-law Karen finally gave birth to a bouncing cute little baby girl on May 5th. Karen is a sickly woman and that’s why those nine months so difficult. She took the best prenatal vitamins available but the unusually extra hot weather took its toll on her. And she also had asthma problems the two months before the baby was born, as well as an ongoing low grade fever and her BP rose two weeks before she gave birth.

But thank heavens, the baby is healthy and Karen is now regaining her strength and health. We were worried during those final weeks when she was sick, but after seeing our newest bundle of joy who is not only pretty but healthy, we can’t thank the Lord for the blessings He has bestowed upon us.

Those Facebook apps are really addictive. I’m already addicted to four games and now there’s a fifth one after a new app was added which is Treasure Isle. Aside from hunting for treasures, I am able to design my home with Tiki stuffs that are really cute – just one of the many things that I like about these apps because my skill in designing is developing.

I just bought a pond today and would like to add a pond light to it later. Hehe. The problem is, they still haven’t added a pond light to purchase. Soon, perhaps. Lights are needed so the visitors won’t have a hard time roaming around my island, and I sure wouldn’t want them to fall in the pond and sue me! LOL. I know I am not the only one addicted to those apps. I bet you may even belong to our group, too. Admit it!

I know for certain that I am not the only individual who have issues with friends. But it didn’t occur to me that a blogging buddy is having the same sentiment as mine. It was our topic for days and though it was only done online, still it was a relief on my part to have talked to somebody who definitely knows what I’m going through.

I am the type who would rather keep mum about certain things at times that’s why I just blogged about it. Little did I know that that would lead to something wonderful. Wonderful in the sense that I was able to share it with a friend who truly understand it all.

Thanks a lot, buddy. You know who you are. (“,)

For the first time in my life, I traveled to Davao City alone on Wednesday and it truly was exciting because I was really wondering just where that driver got his license. I felt fortunate and blessed to have arrived in one piece. LOL!

The city is a three-hour drive from my city and traveling there that day wasn’t in my plan at all. It was an impromptu decision from Dad who informed me around mid-morning that he had a must-do task for me. So I left at 12 Noon and arrived in Davao at around 3 o’clock, and finally got to have my lunch. I’m sure glad I didn’t pass out because my belly pets sure were barking at me. Hehe.

I had my lunch at the mall and window shopped a little before proceeding to my actual destination. There were a lot of nice clothes, shoes and bags that really made me drool. LOL. Those hot tub covers caught my attention too while passing the home improvement section on my way out of the mall because I remembered that my fiancé mentioned installing a hot tub for us after we’re together.

Anyway, I went straight to our client’s office after that, delivered the documents, and that was it. It didn’t even take me an hour; window shopping, and all. Then I caught a cab back to the bus terminal, got on the bus and came home. But I’m sure you can imagine how tiring that was; six hours on the road and all I got out of it was a little store browsing, and I could have stayed at home and did that. (“,)
