Heavy snow, that’s the weather forecast here with 33 °F or 0.55 °C as the temperature.  Juice ko po, ang lameeeg. It’s gonna be like this until tomorrow.

Here’s the view from my office window this morning.

Now, the thickness is doubled. The forecast says that it’s cloudy with the chance of meatball we suppose to get 8 inches of snow. Grrrr. Well honestly I don’t mind the cold weater as long as I have these:

A cup of espresso

A snuggie

A good book

and  of course him  to cuddle

Winter all year round would be awesome!!!

Oh darn it… gotta work now. Daydreaming again next time. See yah!

Do you want to own a humongous iPod?  Wait no more!

Yes, Apple just launch their newest product today, the iPad.

Netbooks manufacturer out there, better be scared on this one.

Although I don’t like the name iPad, I still want to own one. They could”ve called it iTablet, or iBook . Oh well.

And now the hundred million dollar question is – How much does it cost?

You can download e-books too at iBookstore! You don’t need to buy that Sony e-reader for $199. All you need is an iPad. Darn, I sounded like I am advertising.

Ahhh. At the end of the day, it’s just the same as iPod or iPhone only bigger.

For detailed features and specs  please check GameOps.

(1) Robert Pattinson for Spiderman? Are you kidding me? I love him and all but is he really fit for the role? Do you honestly think he could pull if off? Unless he would show me some abs, I might be convinced. Haha. Peter Parker = Robert Pattinson. Naah, I can’t still picture a blood-sucking spiderman.

(2) I am supposed to share with you my last holiday travel galore but I guess it’s too late now. Haha. Hello, it’s almost the end of January.  The only thing I do best is procrastinating. You might already notice that.;-)

@ Le Reve Cirque de Soliel

(3) It’s snowing here. I hate it. I don’t mind snow as long as it happens during the weekend for I don’t need to drive. You know, I  sometimes  do stunt driving. It’s my part time job. LOL.  The bad news is this snow is here to stay for three more days. Darn! Wish me luck!

(4) I am officially liking Mexican food. I used to hate burritos, enchiladas, etc because of its spiciness.   Now, I eat Mexican food almost everyday at lunch. I love to eat pickled jalapeno with everything. Jalapeno is now my “ginamus” (bagoong) or dried fish.  I used to eat dried fish/ginamus with everything but you can’t find them here.   I notice though that everytime I answer the call of nature, it hurts! Maanghang-anghang pa. TMI (too much information)! Haha.

(5) If you ask me who my presidential bet is, my answer is I don’t know. If I were to vote, I would not vote for anyone. Nalito ako sa statement ko na yun ah. Anyway, for me Noynoy is a No-No. Villar is definitely a No-Way. Gibo is also a Nay!  I won’t elaborate anymore because I might be lambasted by these Presidentiables supporters. Natakot ba…

(6) My JLC and I have been learning to ice skate on our own. It’s fun. This Sunday will be our third time to skate. We are getting better, I think.  From countless falling on our butt, we now manage to fall about 10 times. Haha. Everytime we fall, little kids would ask if we are okay. Cute kids who could run effortlessly with those ice skates. I am so jealous. I am so determined to do better with skating. After learning to ice skate,  figure skating..here I come! Haha. Ambisyosa!

(7) We bought and watched Season 4-6 of 24. We managed to watch Season 4  in two days. Talk about being a bum! We just finished Season 5 this week. Yes, we still have better things to do than being glued on the boob tube watching Jack Bauer saving America from terrorists the entire day.  By the way, the new season of 24 is on. Did you watch it? I guess I have too much Jack Bauer in my system now. Need to stop this craziness.

(8)Been trying to eat healthy. I’ve gained about 5 lbs. From 20+ pair of jeans, I can only fit 4 of my jeans now.   Sad.

(9) I am excited to attend the annual winter ball of JLC’s company this Friday. I got to dress up. Yay! You see, I never attended proms or any formal event in my whole life so I am excited every time I wear something nice.  This time I am just going to recycle one of my dresses.  Getting a new dress for the said event is not practical at all. Also, it’s hard to play dress up during the winter.  You need to make sure you wouldn’t freeze your ass, at the same time,you need to look good. Hehe.

(10) In January alone, a lot of earthquakes occured worldwide -Guatemala, California, Argentina and Haiti, the most devastated one. What’s happening? Is the end near? Katakot, noh? Did you see photos of Haiti? It so depressing and sad. My prayer goes for the people of Haiti.  I hope the country can recover after this catastrophic event. What happen to the Ondoy victims, by the way? Did the government still working on relocating them? What happen to the millions of dollars worth of donations? Bakit kaya wala ng balita tungkol dito? Hmmmmmmm. Hope my speculations are wrong! Don’t speculate, sabi nga ni Manny Pacquiao. O si Manny nga ba ang nagsabi non? Basta may nagsabi na ganon. Haha.

(11) Lastly, I miss my nephew. I heard he can now walk for a few steps. Good thing is he and my mom will stay with me in 8 days on April while my sister is on her much-deserved European cruise. I can’t wait to be with them.

The main reason we went to LA was to get our marriage registered renew our Philippine passport in the Consulate there. They don’t accept mail application anymore. You need to be there to get a machine readable passport .Bummer!

I’ve never been to LA so I was excited.

From the airport, we headed straight to the consulate.  It took us more than four hours to get everything done. They were not systematic and everyone was soo slow. Well, what can you expect with Philippine government agencies, ey? Same ol’, same ol’ kahit saan. I was surprise to see ” Lunch Break 12:00 – 1:00 PM” sign. Waa. They even have a lunch break, for petesakes.  No offense ha but you must know, hindi uso ang lunch break dito. Well, we take breaks but we take turns so that the office still accommodate clients during lunchtime.

But anyway, we finished what we came for and have to wait for 6 weeks to get our new passport. We got back to our rental car to find out a ticket in the windshield. A parking ticket for $60!!! Waaa! Apparently, we did not read the bottom part of this sign.

Darn!!! Sixty bucks!! Oh may gaasss!! It kinda ruined our mood. The good thing was our car didn’t get towed which would be a bigger problem pagnagkataon.

The parking ticket incident didn’t ruin my mood to eat though. Haha. We went to Max’s of Manila , one of Max’s restaurant branches in the US, for lunch. It was packed at 2:00 PM.

We ordered Crispy Pata, Sisig and Nilagang Baboy in big serving. Ubos!  I forgot to take photos for I was starving. FYI, JLC and I are members of CPL  – CLEAN PLATE SOCIETY which explains why we ate everything! Haha.  Wala kayang Pinoy restaurant dito so whenever we go to one in other states, we make sure we DIG IN. Haha. Gluttons!

After the over-indulging of food, we went to the Hollywood Walk of Shame Fame. The only reason I wanted to go there was to see the star of my one and only MATT DAMON… Click Click Click!!!

…. and Mickey Mouse too

..and of course, how can I forget BUMMBLE BEE.

Also to get some free hugs:

Afterwards, we stopped by at the Grauman’s Chinese Theater where some of my Hollywood friends left their footprints and hand marks. Here’s my buddy Steven Spielberg:

My driver:

And my favorite masseur:

At night, we went to the popular 3rd Street Promenade located near Santa Monica where I found him..

The next day, pigging out continued….  We went to the popular Gerry’s Grill to meet up some friends.

There’s nothing like home but tt would be hard for you to miss the Philippines if you live in Los Angeles, I tell you. So Winkie, punta ka na!

Next stop, Vegas baby!!! And so the vacation galore continues…
