Thank You Note

Hello there, fans!

I mean...friends! Just teasing.

Well, I just wanted to thank everyone who wished me a happy birthday.

I appreciate all the greetings y'all.  They really made my day.

Ranu, you made the right choice of posting your birthday wishes for me on my page.  You will be blessed...by me!

Karenina, thank you for the flowers.  They sure smell good.

Vahid, I thought you won't be able to make it to my birthday, but you did.  Lucky you...you just saved your ass!

Champ, it's all your fault I got found out! Nobody would have noticed my birthday if you didn't announce it in the chat room today.

Dreamer Man, you stinker!  109 years or more? Most high tech Japanese potty? You're kidding right? Hahah, you just inspired me!  Hope I'll get to sit on it.  You'll envy me to death!

Siria, thank you, girl.  Nice to hear from you.  I'm wishing the same...I hope somebody will just grant me all my wishes.  Do you happen to know anyone that does that?

Bianca, it was nice to chat with you today.  That's a lovely wedding gown there.  I'd love to try it on! Does it come with a perfect groom?

Mommy, thank you for the sweet e-card. Hope your little boy gets better soon.

Nadira, you're at fault too.  If not for your advertisement of my birthday in the chat room, this would have not gone this far.  Now I owe everybody this thank you note.

And to all who greeted me on Facebook, million thanks!

Ali, thank you for remembering.  Or should I thank Facebook for reminding you? You would have been dead if you missed this day.

Vicky, no, I did not copy you.  Yes, I have a birthday too.  I didn't have a choice!  

Umesh, that's right, this wicked girl really enjoyed her day.  Thank you for the sweet thoughts.

Verma, the party won't be until Saturday.  I'm roasting a whole pig.  Want some?

Pardeep, goodness, you're still breathing? How's your studies going?  Haven't talked to you for billion years.

Alfonso, yes, you heard it right, today is the B-day.  Hope you're well my friend.

Dreamer Girl, thank you for the well wishes.  How is your little brother doing? Please tell him, I said, Hello. Hope he's being a good boy!

I think that's it.  I hope I didn't miss anyone.  Thanks again to those who made an effort to greet me on my birthday.  And to all my friends who ignored me on this special day, shame on you.  I'm gonna get y'all later!

Peace out!

Hopeless Whiner

 

Well, well, well!  Word up, guys?  ",)

 

After being away from EC for a long time (3 months or so, almost like forever), I found myself back here yesterday, writing a blog. (*_^)  After putting all my thoughts together, editing and previewing my post for gazillion times, I comfortably signed out of EC.  I wanted to add a photo to the blog so I didn't choose to publish it yet.  After a little while, I came back to EC to post this really awesome photo.  But guess what?  No traces of my untitled blog.  What the F???  

 

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!  I hate it when that happens.  Arghhh!  Holy crap!  This is driving me bonkers!  Dang it!  Such a knucklehead!  Stinker!  Blockhead!  Looney!  What a dummy!  What a joke!  Good grief!  How did I forget to save that darn blog?  Geez, I wanna crush someone's laptop!  I wanna break someone's windshield!  I wanna kick somebody's ass!  I wanna smash somebody's face!  I wanna shave someone's head off!  I wanna squeeze someone's neck!  I wanna tickle a thief to death!  I wanna murder a terrorist!  I wanna castrate a rapist!  Ohhh...my blog...my pitiful blog...where are you...what to do???

 

Actually, I thought about rewriting the blog.  No point about crying over spilled milk, eh?  But I don't think I can start over again on the same topic.  The words flowing through my fingertips as I was typing my blog yesterday are gone.  The intense feeling of excitement and passion have vanished.  I can't retrieve them again just like I can't retrieve the blog I lost.  Sheesh, how pathetic!  Please forgive my whining.  But still, I can't help it!  Waaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!

 

But before I sputter any more nonsense, let me first prioritize the priority.  I better save this blog before this one disappears as well.  Give me a moment!

 

***Ohnie clicks Save as Draft***

***Ohnie takes a deep breath...smiles...whispers...I better not lose another blog again or I may end up shutting down EC for good after knocking someone down!***

 

Anyways, as I was saying...I learned my lesson well - the hard way!  Now, I ended up grumbling and blabbering here.  Gosh, what have become of my blog?  I guess that's what this blog is all about now - whining and ummm...ummm...let's see.  Ooopps...a small light bulb came on above my head...it says...interjections??!!  Oh well, whatever!  Who the heck cares?

 

Hmmm...I'm done here.  Peace out! (^_*)

True Confessions of an Addict

My name is Ohnie and I’m an addict.

It’s really difficult to hear my self say it. And even after finally being able to admit it, still, sharing it is a big challenge. But I feel that for my sake and for those who care for me, I need to come out clean. Hopefully, I can start from here.

At first, I wasn’t interested in trying it. But I did it, anyways. Why? I wasn’t exactly sure myself. Could it be boredom? Curiosity? Maybe I wanted to experiment? Or perhaps, I needed to prove something?

I don’t quite remember how it all started. But I remember it was early this year before my birthday when I first had a taste of it. I remember well the feeling of that first time - so exquisite to the taste. It leaves a sweet lingering feeling that makes you want for more.

The first try was definitely not the last. I found myself on it day and night. I was on it when I should be studying, working, eating, resting. I was on it whether I was happy or sad. In fact, I didn’t seem to feel the hunger, sleepiness, tiredness, even loneliness once I get on it. Being aware of my gradual change, one time I asked myself if I was getting addicted to it. But I heard myself replied:

There you go – denial – my first sign of addiction!

This addiction led me to meet a lot of people – some good, some bad,and mostly weird. I started hanging out with these new friends from different background whom I later realized were in the same boat as myself – ADDICTS! I was having fun with them! I was happy though sleepless. And though happy, still, I wasn’t contented. I felt it's something I couldn't live without.

But finally, somewhere somehow, I was able to gather strength to overcome this addiction. I struggled. I struggled hard. I didn’t want to miss it, yet I didn’t want to lose myself in it either. That’s exactly the reason why I decided to confess. For I believe that the first step to remission is self-admission. So I told myself I will not fear. I will not be embarrassed. I can no longer deny it. Now more than ever, I am determined to face it, to win over it, and to acknowledge it.

Yes, it’s true. My name is Ohnie. I am an EC (English Club) ADDICT! And this is my story.


P. S.
As part of the recovery process, I came up with this difficult decision - to cut down the hours I spend online in the English Club from 20 hours to 5 hours a day...starting next year! (^_*)

To all my EC addict friends, you guys know who you are, come on, admit it! (' ",)

First Love at First Sight

Last Friday afternoon (November 5th) was very special to me. I got to pick Sam up from school and got to hang out with him at the mall afterwards. Since I'm a working mom, the privilege of taking Sam to school and picking him up is rare while my in-laws normally do this job for me.

So when I picked Sam up, I asked him where he would like to go. I gave him several options. After thinking for a while, he said, "Mommy, I wanna go to the mall!" So then we went to the mall and there we ate and ran around and played and did some shopping. In one of the shops (OLD NAVY), they had a bunch of mannequins on display by the entrance door. Among those, Sam spotted a new friend. He calls her, SAM'S FRIEND.

It was funny how he was so fond of her. I don't know if he even realized that she's not real. It was love at first sight! They just hit it right off! LOL

I asked him to take a picture with SAM's FRIEND. It was interesting how Sam was very cooperative that time. He usually doesn't like being photographed but that day was an exception. Sam did several poses - wrapped his arms around her shoulder, put his hand on her head, embraced her...and all that. He really had fun...so did I! People were watching us while taking pictures. They were the cutest ever. I couldn't believe my 3 year old son has a one sided love affair with a mannequin. Bless his heart!

We went back to visit Sam's FRIEND at the mall a few times since that day. Everytime, Sam would give her a big warm hug. Just so adorable!

Anyways, I thought I'd share some of the photos I picked out of so many. I made a powerpoint presentation and converted it into a video called MY EYES ADORED YOU.  Hope you enjoy watching...if not...oh well, what a shame! (^_*)
