Happy Valentines

No this wasn't done by a five year old. I created this myself using GIMP (wala kasing paint or its equivalent in Ubuntu). Pretty bad huh? I LOOOVE IT! It's a practice drawing for what I want to create for our love blog.

Anyway a not so premature Happy Valentines to everyone! Hope you have a good time tomorrow celebrating the day of love or forgetting all about it. it doesn't really matter as long as you have a great day. ^_^

I plan on cramming lots of work tonight so I won't have to check the net that much tomorrow. Am getting paranoid about all the headaches Smart Bro is giving me. I hate their service but I need it for now. Ugh...

Note to self: never link to their service. Beh.

Pal and Ubuntu

Just went to visit the Ubuntu website and look who I found in the new cd cover!
The guy on the lower right looks sooo much like Pal...cool.

For those who don't know about Ubuntu, it's a great Linux-based OS that I actually use sometimes (usually when Windows acts up and I have to reinstall and don't have time or an installer with me). Am thinking about going Ubuntu all the way though.

Ubuntu - an African word meaning "Humanity to others" or "I am what I am because of who we all are"

The software as the Ubuntu website says, "brings the spirit of Ubuntu to the software world." Uber cool.

Recap of Last Year

All my posts this year have been pretty stupid so far. Anyway to get things going I decided to post a recap of last year's blog pretty much the same way a lot of us did back in January 2006. So here's the first few lines of each first post for each month last year.

BTW I should be writing a really special article right now but since I want it to be really perfect I'm all stuck so as usual I'm procrastinating. :p

January
So much and yet so little has been going on in my life that I've been all muddled up and couldn't post anything for some time now. I didn't feel like anything was worth posting. (This seems to happen every year but this time my reason is laziness and not the lack of stuff to post about)

February
Too little time to blog what I meant to... (so I posted an online quiz result)

March
Makikigaya na rin ako. Am interested in finding out how others perceive me. (on the Johari/Nohari Window)

April
We just found out that Sam was actually misdiagnosed. (Best news ever)

May
Bye Tube. Sam has been without a tube for almost 2 weeks now.

June
This is a me post because I am feeling happier each day.

July
Todays are ok, even great. Its the yesterdays that bog me down.

August
Happy Birthday...to me!

September
In Love. Most days you just plod through life going through the motions...Today is not like most days.

October
Life can be really tiring. I sometimes just get sick of going to Sam's doctors paying all those fees for a tiny ray of hope.

November
I saw Mark's Halloween post and nainggit ako. So I decided to post my fave Halloween pic of me and my baby plus other pics na rin.

December
I have a party dress. We've been planning on attending the OCS Christmas Party for weeks now.

*****
Looking back, the tone of my 2006 posts were WAY better than that of 2005's. Just goes to show that things really did start looking up for us last year. I am so grateful for all the blessings the past year especially regarding Sam's health and our marriage/romantic life's great improvement. It seems that we saw bottom last 2005 and there's no way but up. I'm really excited about what this year has in store for our little family. At least now I know that we can survive extremely hard blows in life and come out the better for it. Hardships really do make you stronger. But not only that, they also leave you with greater faith and a better appreciation for life. Here's to an even better year for everybody!!!

On Middle East

I saw this in Drishtikone: Perspective and I just needed to post it.

I am MYSTIQUE - Uber cool!

Sometimes motherly, sometimes a beautiful companion, but most of the time a deceiving vixen.

There's also a Superhero Personality Test but I found it corny. You can take it if you want though.

Will blog for real next time:

• i get in the mood; and
  
• happen to have my PC on; and
  
• Sam doesn't need me at that moment; and
• I don't need to write anything that's already way past deadline.
