on HNT absentia and non-blogging

Wow, its been a while :-) and I am seriously at fault for not putting something up, but you know how it is (Or at least, I think I hope you do). So many things happen in the space of two-plus weeks , so many interesting things that sometime you feel that words would not be enough. My more cynical self says its because I am too lazy to sit down and actually write down what happened, and my not-so-cynical self says that I am just too tired to sit down at the end of each happening to actually write about it.

A more serious crime (to me, at least) is my HNT absentia. And that I can explain.... in a bit. So, to summarize the happenings:

1.) Thanksgiving food-a-thon
-You read that right. I was invited to a total of 10 Thanksgiving celebrations over the course of four days (discounting Sunday). Talk about stuffed !! I ate....and ate.... and ate...... and ate...... No surprise that come Monday, I weighed myself and saw that I had gained the amazing weight equal to quintuplets! And in all that anticipated eating, I forgot about my Thanksgiving HNT pic....

2.) My little bro's visit
- my little bro flew in from the Philippines to visit, and possibly land a job here. Not too good a timing, considering or economy. Still, he stayed a week with me, and I am taking him to the station today, where he will spend the remainder of his stay with my other brother in LA. We had a lot of fun, hanging out after work, talking about his girlfriend, his plans for the future, and my new man (incidentally, he approves, whew!) I was glad to have him by my side as we watched the Manny Pacquaio - De La Hoya fight. I was however, unable to take my HNT pic, as I could not get away to take one.

3.) Its Finally Christmas !
- and finally time for me to start making up my Christmas list. This is a very important task for me, and can take me up to two weeks writing my initial list,separating those who only get cards, to those who get an actual present (Hey, I am on a budget here, ehehehehe) I am almost done with it, and will do my Xmas shopping ...soon.


So there. I do wanted to talk more about the recent boxing match, but I have to take my bro to the bus station. Till next post , and hoping you are having a cool week-end!

I was ready to send out the hounds to look for you! I particularly like the part that not doing HNT was the more serious crime! I'm so glad to have found you again from the old days!
