ian..

hmmm..ang aga-aga medyo di na naman maganda ang takbo ng emo ni mackee, why?? e kc ba naman i would like to talk to ian so i sent her mama a text asking if he's still up and telling her i'm gonna call kc i want to talk to ian, kasabi sabi ba naman e low bat daw ang fon ngwek! is that a good reason? e they're home naman, how would you evaluate this situation? i want to give ian a call, he's up pa naman sabi, they're home, sabi ng mama nya the fon's battery is low, so? what do you think? what am i supposed to think?

anyway, later in the afternoon i'm going out and power walk hoping i could build up my cardio endurance again..sa katamaran at katakawan i can't even run 10 meters without panting grabe!!
it's really true the best way to weight loss is SELF DISCIPLINE!! if you are packed with this secret words within your very own self walang reason para hindi ka mabawasan ang mga taba-taba mo sa katawan.

yesterday..

ano ba ginawa ko kahapon? la lang, just bought a GIANTS pull-over kc the one i bought dati was so tight na i think i sent it to apple months ago..then i spent the afternoon watching AMERICAN LEAGUE DIVISION SERIES (baseball) between NY YANKEES and MINNESOTA TWINS (while feasting on New York Cheesecake with strawberry drooping..grabe pano bang hindi tataba?) the game was sooooooo thrilling, Alex Rodriguea did a two run homerun ooohhlala..YANKEES won over TWINS..4-3 with TEIXEIRA'S walk-off homer ending the 11th inning..that was awesome!!! hahaha..! YANKEES is now in a 2-0 lead over TWINS.

nothing..

did nothing unusual today..aside from going to Toys "R" Us and look around, chance i might see a big rag doll so that there would be "somebody" sitting at the back of the car. but no luck..

but this is our batch's 4th year anniversary of Coming to America, we arrived here in NYC last October 8 of '05..

FALL FOLIAGE

spectacular colors of autumn..red, orange, brown, yellow, gold and green, mother nature really is so awesome. it's soothing just to walk and drink on the beautiful scenes along the riverbanks, lakes, along the roads or even just going out of your deck.

on the way to my orthopedic surgeon

took this picture while driving to my orthopedist Dr. Yasgur down Katonah, upstate NY. just learned from him that my left shoulder needs surgery due to the calcium build-up and bone spur that are causing the pain i'm suffering. impingement that is..ahhhhh..he explained the procedure, first of which is that an anaesthesiologist's gonna stick a needle on my neck to numb my shoulder and arm OMG..!!! and also i will be sedated..am not worried about the surgery itself bec. i won't feel it and won't even see when they do the procedure (ngwek!!) what i'm scared of is the fact that they're gonna stick a needle on my neck wahhhh....

the Watcher..

St. Francis of Assissi watching over the Mid-Hudson Bridge and the Walkway Over the Hudson, isn't that cool? i took this picture today Wednesday, 10-07-09 @ 3:24pm

picking apples @ BARTON ORCHARDS..

havin' fun picking apples at a farm in Lagrange, a couple of days ago, wished my kids were with me to share the moment, to some this is just ordinary event but for me (and since this was the first time i ever did this in my 4 years here in NY) it is something to reckon with..i've been wanting to do this ever since i came here.

next thing i would want to do is to pick lemons..
hehehe..come to think of it i might as well search for lemon farms around here.

west point..Oct. 3 '09

wanna share what i did today,..drove to west point with olive abarquez, alvin's wife, she's from Cebu. picked her up the night before at Beacon Metronorth Train station. the following morning we drove to West Point and after missed turns, making big circles, losing our way we eventually get to the correct gate entrance with the aid of my genie Samantha (my Nuvi GPS). we're sooooo late that by the time we arrived, the football game was done..(actually it's a blessing in disguise kasi sayang din kaya ang entrance fee no? $43 entrance fee..!!)

but then, we just saw the hockey game between the two ARMY hockey teams, the BLACK and the GOLD..i think it's a tune up game - that's just my opinion, im not sure if that's what's really going on..and of course i stand corrected.

as usual there'd been picture taking with olive's camera and awa ng Diyos until now i don't get copies..that's the problem when my being ulyanin strikes..i forgot to take my cam with me..

morning na naman..

morning na naman..what am i gonna do today aside from watch tv, watch soaps via internet, tungangaan ang kamatis sa deck, do the dishes na i forgot to wash the night before, think of going to the gym (upss..kung di na naman tamarin). chat with lemon who's online pero after a while would say "ma tulog na ako, 7am may make up class kami".

whoa! hirap nitong walang trabaho. well, hopefully i would land that job which i applied for, one which is so different from what i've been doin for years..hahaha..different in the sense that there would be no students..no whistle hangin' down my neck, no lesson plans, no calls to the parents i have to make, no observation classes to be held with the AP and the Principal herself present making you get nervous and get off track when you are not prepared..no cards to accomplish, and so many NO's. but most of all NO HASSLES!!

salary-wise and benefit-wise i have no idea as of now if this new job im gonna take is on the level of teaching..but really..i don't care!! more important thing is i have something i would be busy of and would make me go out of the house hahaha..and i'm gonna have a resource, financial resource that is, and i would be able to send my kids stuffs again, stuffs i want them to have. o ha..??!!

lalo pa now my apo's bday is fast approaching..
