Ein gutes neues Jahr!

In 31 minutes, it'll be 2010 in the Philippines!

Here's to wishing an awesome 2010 for everyone!

I wrapped these up!

Holy crapappy.

Now I understand why they say it's difficult to sing Taylor Swift's You Belong With Me... dang. It *is* difficult to sing. I keep running out of breath!

But it's such a nice song and I want to be able to sing it in karaoke!

Frohe Weihnachten!

I hope you all have a wonderful time celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ.

Have a wonderful and happy Christmas, everyone!

Cat stories

Mimiw was lounging on the cold tile floor...

Me: Hoy Miming, in heat ka ba?
Mama: Grabe ka naman. Ang bata bata pa niyan para ma-in-heat.
Me: Eh bakit sa malamig na sahig sya humihiga? Baka in heat nga.

LOL!

The convo is me asking my cat whether she's in heat. My mom is shocked that I would think that because Mimiw is but a kitten.

Test

Another test. Posting from my phone.

Edit (10:22 p.m.): I'm putting back comments on Disqus to Blogger. It just bothers me that I cannot see what posts have new comments on my dashboard because they've all been pinged back to Disqus.

And there's also something wrong with the template I used before because it won't show how many comments a post has. Grrr.

Meet Mimiw

Mimiw (as she is called by most of us in the family) is the latest addition to our home. I got her from a friend's friend who saved her from a nasty life on the streets.

I love that she's very sweet! She lets me carry her around like a baby. And she almost always stays with me whenever I pick her up, i.e., even if she wants to get down, I make her stay and she stays.

My mom's having fun with her. Right now Mimiw is cradled in my mom's left arm and she's being rocked and cooed at. Having a "baby" in the house has started the baby jokes again. My mom often says, "Since I can't get a real grandchild, I guess you'll have to do Mimiw." *eyes roll*

Starbucks' salted chocolate drink

My Plurk friends have been talking about this salted choco drink from Starbucks. We've never had anything like it available here in the Philippines so I googled it.

I found a recipe that's hopefully a copy of the Starbucks drink. Now I only need to buy the ingredients so I can try it!
