Growing Grass Heads

These are like mini potato heads whose heads are made up of I dunno, hay or whatever that is and contains grass seeds in them so when watered, grass will be sprouting from its head which will serve as its hair.

Mommy bought us these guys last week as we have been wanting to get them late last year when I saw buy one. And when I search the net on when to buy it, it’s always in Divisoria or Greenhills or somewhere far from me. So I was just so delighted when she texted me last Friday saying that she bought 2 grass heads. Teehee! That’s them originally. She already started growing them at home as I said it usually takes three days to grow some hair.

After scrutinizing that it’s a boy, since both of them has moustache, and that she wants it to be like her (haha), Mom found some stuff to dress them up. And of course I wouldn’t want mine to remain ordinary also. So there goes the revamped look of our grass heads!

Mine supposedly has a kissing look that’s why it’s like that, but looking at it, it just looks like a baby with a pacified. Haha.

Thanks Ma! :-*

Long Weekend Day 2: Project Yard

Continuation of day 1′s activities, we continued with the painting of the gate last Sunday while Mom and Dad did the 2 new dog houses. *Ahem* before you ask what kind of dogs we have, again, they’re just typical house dogs: “Strogs” as my brother always say (short for stray dogs or askals as they are called here).

So anyway, this is Mom’s project, as she claims for the Chinese New Year, since she’s so into those stuff – Feng Shui, lucky charms and all the fancies, so everything has to be fixed and proper. Haha.

Long Weekend Day 1

Oh hai, long weekend #1 for 2012! Happy Chinese New Year on Monday.

I went home early again today since I was already up around 6am. Ironically, productive and restful day. We painted our newly installed mini gate made especially for the dogs since it’s Zorro’s mating time again, LOL. Mom had them made metal dog houses too, all getting ready in time for the New Year haha. Xylon and I were painting most of the morning then stopped around after lunch to eat and rest and then sleep and I slept some more, since *ahem* my supposedly 4:30 date extended his own nap. Hmf. All is well.

Dumidisyembre ang lamig lang talaga dito sa elbi!

New Blog Layout

A new look for my blog for the new year. I finally gotten around to actually customizing one for it specifically and not just cropping some photo of me. LOL. I don’t have a screen cap of the previous design but it just had my a cropped portion of my face haha.

The gummies were taken more than some time ago, I have several more of them that I haven’t edited. I like the layout now, well, as if there’s a big difference. But anyway, I’d love it more if I can customize the fonts too but I have to pay extra for that LOL. In time, in time.

On the side note, this was our groceries last night. LOL. Not too much junk, eh?

Merry Christmas 2011, Welcome 2012!

This has been my shortest Christmas and New Year’s vacation eveeeeer. When I started working, I had always filed for a leave during the holidays or we really don’t have work for the entire Christmas break. There was just one time when I spent the New Year in Manila because I was already absent during Christmas, but still, this year’s “break” still come first as being the shortest.

19-22, last week of work with nights spent mostly in Megamall for Christmas shopping that never seemed to end. LOL. Mall hours were until midnight then and so was our energy. Haha.

On the 23rd, we still had a private Christmas Party at Astoria Plaza, Ortigas. It was just the Accounting, the MTs and some from other departments plus their kids. I was able to still go home that night at around past midnight I think?

24th, Christmas Eve, we had annual dinner and exchange gifts at Inay and Itay’s. Yummy food plus semi-drunk stories and punch lines completed our night. The boys got drunk over the wine, or so it seemed haha. We went home almost midnight and I opened all the gifts I collected for Christmas.

Fat Weekend

Every weekend my eating capacity expands – and that’s already something expected. Then it shrinks a bit during the weekdays then expand again when I’m at home LOL.

This weekend started with breakfast at McDo with Carmi. We thought we’d have breakfast for a change, instead of lunch or just merienda. So I came home earlier than usual (naks! ) and spent almost the entire morning catching up since she wasn’t in the country for the holidays. 50% of our catching up meant analyzing our current scenarios and 50% about our friends haha.

And she gave me my Wish list #2! Make-up brushes! Weeee~ I love ‘em. I’ve just been staring at them or getting them out of their cases ever since but still haven’t tried them out. Haha. Maybe I’ll just leave them for display, eh?

THANKS KUPO! :-*

I’ve always wanted to try McDo’s Big Breakfast but always either craving for the hotcakes or thinks that I could never finish it off, given that it is big. But then…. I did. Haha.

Sweet Desserts for Dinner

As a celebration to the exceptional/spectacular/remarkable or simply put, very high grades of my brothers for this semester (for the college boys) and for this quarter (for the bunso), we had these — for dinner. Too much food in the table can make one feel full already. LOL.

I’ve only started on my fruit salad/ref cake in a goblet and have already slowed down. LOL. There’s always tomorrow for the rest of them!

2012 Day 12

Day 12: December

Last of the 12-day blog!

Oh Christmastime. Well, a jam-packed December even at work can already be expected at this point given our schedule last year. I’m just glad that I have many things to write in my planner, LOL. Iris went home to Laguna yesterday so dinner alone. I created some “potato croquettes” — times when you just love the microwave LOL. Mashed potatoes seasoned with pepper and Chiz Whiz with some corn beef. NOM. It could use a breading also but since I was too hungry, I just fried the potato as in, after mixing it up. I slept early too! 

2012 Day 11

Day 11: November

Hmm. Almost year-end status, eh? Yesterday was literally a working day all day. I was occupied with auditing and other quality department tasks. I didn’t even had the time to feel so groggy. LOL. Had a ritual girly date with Ging at Laybare. Relaxed evening and a happy heart, srsly. ♥

2012 Day 10

Day 10: October

Ohnoes. I am just not in a great mood today. Literally and figuratively, hm? May literal version ng not-in-the-mood? Haha. I woke up at the wrong side, turned around side of the bed — meaning there were no happy vibes upon waking up, unless I count Iris blurting out she dreamed that she was in a relationship with Engchong Dee. LOLOL. As Arvin said, the atmosphere at work also is just so condusive for dementors to lurk in. Gah. Why are days like that? It just seems too bland. Anyway, I had Snickers, M&Ms and coffee for breakfast. Here are the M&Ms that look like a bottle of pebbles. Sadly, that’s not mine but my boss’. NOM though.

Evening went a notch higher, thought. We de-stressed while doing junk food/grocery shopping and bought the items below for the succeeding meals of the week haha. Then watched Pretty Little Liars until we became sleepy.
