New layout and new saltine cracker challenge at stinkfactor.com
My alma mater, U-Dub Formula SAE team made this cool little video. Did you know I helped design car before...(Our design was in no way as good as these guys, but better than a go cart!!)
What do the Olympic Rings mean?: They made fun of me at home with my answer, "They stand for the seven continents", because there are only 5 olympic rings. But I was closer than they were. :-P on you guys for laughing at me....
Remember, Survivor 4 starts on Thursday. Who cares if Joey loves Rachel! They're stupid and immoral anyway...
Yeah!!!! For Michelle Kwan. She's got a good start now...I get so nervous while I'm watching and then I start crying because I'm so happy for them. Philip and I were cheering on Derek Parra and then laughing at ourselves for screeming at the top of our lungs. I was actually jumping up and down. Who knew speed skating could be so exciting...
Remembrance: Ambrocio Pendon December 7, 1917 ~ February 20, 2001
...its been a year of healing. It's our tradition to complete our mourning by saying the rosary and having a small party to celebrate his life. He's been on my mind and in my heart all year. I miss you Lolo!
Woops...then a double woops, all thanks to the Canadians.
...philip and I were laughing at them after awhile. it's funny when they try to be all dramatic and emotional and then fall on their faces..."TOEPICK!"
I just found this...today we celebrate St. Valentine who was a holy priest in Rome, who, with St. Marius and his family, assisted the martyrs in the persecution under Claudius II. He was apprehended, and sent by the emperor to the prefect of Rome, who, on finding all his promises to make him renounce his faith in effectual, commended him to be beaten with clubs, and afterwards, to be beheaded, which was executed on February 14, about the year 270...
It's FAT TUESDAY, I plan to gorge myself on Jambalaya, cornbread, and banana splits before the day is over...My Jambalaya got killed at work today. Now everyone wants the recipe and I can't give it to them because I mixed two recipes together and added my own ingredients. I must make some more when I go home.
What are you giving up for Lent? I'm not sure what I'm gonna give up yet. Philip and I have given up going out to eat in previous years, but it is really hard to do. The best choice would be desserts though or going to bed late. I'd love to add something instead, like walking everyday.
So remember to party today...and fast tomorrow. Ash Wednesday mass is a Holy Day of Obligation... You wanna go get a banana split with us tonight?
At first I thought, "There aren't any elephants in the Philippines, that's Thailand or Malaysia...", but now I get it. I saw this young pinay woman plugging her book on the early show this morning. Now I want to read When the Elephants Dance next. You go, Tess Uriza Holthe!
Jussy brought the video over for us to watch. I guess you could totally hear Jayme and I cheering for him. I didn't think we were that loud..."Go kuya!"(from Jayme) "Go Jussy!"(from me) No wonder Philip stayed kinda quiet...
Try it...It's easy! Time magazine says so... Create a blog just for me, so I can create a nice little section called, "My Friend's Blogs" over there on the left. For those on AA, just post a link back there. Blogger is way less quirky and more stable than AA pages...
Then email me your blog address....It will be so cool.
Veggies are working out well for us. Philip said that he didn't miss the meat in the Veggie Pita Pockets because the mushrooms made it taste like meat. We've also had spinach for the past 2 nights and it's been a success...
Birthdays, Birthdays, Birthdays...I didn't realize there were so many in February...
The 3rd, Big Brother Gaon The 5th, little brother Gaon and Moe The 6th, Reggielyn C.J. The 7th, Ate Jade The 8th, little sister Jayme & RJ Pendon The 9th, Maxwell ...then it skips... 17th, Gab 20th, A. Mimi
That's kinda cool...
I watched Shakira's Making the Video last night. I like her, but I couldn't bring myself to buy her CD. I just don't like how she goes a little Celine Dion'ish with her voice when she sings in English. I like when she sings in Spanish better. Just like I like Enrique Iglesis, HERO better in spanish. I wonder if he can sing in Tagalog too.
AND...I like her all brown hair or died red hair better than blonde with dark roots...Go natural Shakira!...What do you think?(notice in the blonde picture they cut off the top of her head so you can't see the roots)
Birthday celebrations for Gaon Brothers were the evening fun. Philip chose Willow for Bobby's gift...I just thought Bobby would like something more manly, but I guess Val Kilmer is manly enough. Maya found a nice little night spot that had an empty room with a DJ and a bar for us to use just to ourselves. The standard yuppie meatmarketers gave us wierd looks while we were yelling our BA! BA! BA! to our dance hall beat. We'll have to invade again sometime soon. While exiting the night spot I found Mara's gum wall from her slides. I made my own mark and formed my gum into a G and added to the mural.
Sunday was productive....We helped Gab and Djan move into their very first mortgage paying home. Lotsa work, I just didn't realize it till my body felt it. After all the stuff was moved they chose our home to relax and have 1/2 a Superbowl Party. Sofia told me she was sad that her new room is so small, but I told her that it's really pretty. I don't think that made her feel better. I didn't catch all the Superbowl commercials so I'll have to veiw them all here. After the game, I told Phil I would take a little nap, but didn't wake up till Philip was almost carrying me upstairs.
Last night I got an urge for vegetables. I'm gonna start building our meals around veggies with the meat as the side...Maybe this will give us the energy we need!
Phil and I finally got off our butts and saw The Lord of the Rings!! I really enjoyed it. I told Philip that if they left all the things in the movie as were in the book, it would be 6 or 10 hours long. I thought they did a good job at shortening it. The only thing I didn't like about the plot changes was that they put that scene in with Liv Tyler saving Frodo and making the river rage, just to give Liv Tyler some speaking lines. In the book, she's just mentioned in a small part and she never speaks, they just admire her beauty. They actually put Frodo on the white horse and all he had to do was hold on. Then when they got to the river, Gandolf was waiting on the other side and he was the one the one that made the river rage.
But, while I was reading I pictured all the places to look like they do in the movie, except the Elf cities. I pictured them alot grander.
The rest of the weekend for us: Happy Birthdays to the Gaon Brothers! Moving crew for Gab and Djan
