Our house is now like 24, the leak seems to come from everywhere. And I’m a frantic Jack Bauer.

Statuses
Back to Basics
Let me sum up this week: back to basics. I had my old Facebook account deactivated and, after three weeks without cable TV, installed a UHF TV antenna at home. Baron, you should be a saint.
Will write more about it next time. Now off to a badminton tournament. It’s been years since I last joined one.
School Day Villain and Hero
Day 1. Some resistance by Ben 10 but Superwoman wins. (Fictitious names, real people.)
Who’s Your Father
Me: …and when someone asks you what your father’s name is, what would you answer?
Marcus: Papa Jesus!
(A discussion I had with kiddo while reminding him what to do when he gets lost in the mall. I was taken aback. It was funny kind of serious.)
Dust Buster
Marcus showed great progress today. He is not afraid of the vacuum cleaner anymore. Ti abi.
Last Day in Bacolod and Stuck at Home
It’s official. I’m spending the last day of my vacation at home. No alcohol with friends, no malling, no nothing. Sin tax, parenting duty, and the first tropical depression this 2013, Auring, all working against me. Siesta here I come. (Marcus is playing PC games…since morning.)
Worm in an Apple
I’m now like worm in an Apple. I’m just starting to discover things about this stuff. For one, this thing called iCloud is like addictive drug — this explains why Apple users crave for more, why most Apple users remain loyal. ( As wifey calls it, this is my own ‘bano’, moment.)
An Apple A Day
I can’t remember the last time I got something pricey but I won’t even try to recall when or what it was. For now, I appreciate the fact that I now own my first Apple, albeit a hand-me-down. Thanks to you my Santa Clauses, it made me feel I wasn’t so naughty this year.

Pop It
Our ego is like cork to a wine bottle. As long as it is there, no one will taste its fine wine.
I Need Prayers…and Burgers
I just had an interesting exchange with someone:
Email message: I was about to ask you last Sunday na pumayat po kayo (you have lose weight)…Do you need prayers?
My reply: Yes, I need prayers…and burgers…

I don’t know how my other friends and immediate family will think once they see me because other than losing weight I am starting to sport a longer hair with the goal to get that ponytail back (I will try if I can find a pic) which I had when I got married and maintained until around 2004. Let’s see this Christmas vacation once I am home and and which is also when I’ll know if I can fend off food that will be abundant this time of the year. Few more days, time’s fast.
