SSS #158: Happy Days Are Here Again!

Yes, we safely landed in Manila almost two weeks ago – and were kept safe from the dreaded H1N1 virus   Thanks so much to all of you who prayed for our safe travel! 

And another resounding “YES” for ticking off the following from my Pinas “To Do” list:

1. Being able to visit Baguio again after so many years
2. Binge-ing on Jollibee’s Double Yum with Cheese whenever I want (*insert evil laughter here*)
3. Getting my massage, facial and salon treatments at long last – yipee, I feel human again!
4. Being “officially” reconciled with my God after two long years through a long-overdue confession

Apologies for letting you settle with “bullets” for now… As you very well know, being back home means letting my cyberlife take a back seat as I relish actually being “immersed” in living my “Manila” life. I promise to fill you in on the details…uhm…in two months perhaps? Hahaha!

In the meantime, apart from the sad reality of being temporarily separated from my better half for most of the duration of our home leave , I can definitely say that… happy days are here again!

To celebrate, join me as I drink to my abaya-less existence for the next two months or so with a much-missed favorite that, needless to say, I am now savoring to the max as much as I can…

 

More Pinas-related posts soon… ABANGAN!

 

SSS# 157: On Blogger’s Block etc

I know… apart from joining the weekly memes, my site has been generally silent the past few weeks.  It’s just that I don’t seem to be anywhere near ”the writer’s zone” nowadays – inspite of the fact that my life has admittedly been teeming with “bloggables” lately.

Call it “blogger’s block”, if you may.  I noticed that this “phenomenon” seems to always happen around the time of our home leave – yes, folks, we will be in dear old Lupang Hinirang in a week plus two – yipee!   So I’m reckoning it must be all the pre-departure thingamajigs that are working against my blogging groove.

Just so you’re all kept updated on my “so-called blogger’s life”, here are some of its more recent highlights (which I may – or most probably – may not – expound on more in my later posts – hehehe ):

• our three-day trip to Jeddah early last month
• dear hubby’s 36th and our (modesty aside, ahem, ahem) oh-so-fab gift
• our recent return to Bahrain and the H1N1 scare
• preparing for diva-lette’s 3rd tomorrow

And, before I forget, here’s something that’s been tickling my funny bones lately… just thought it would be cool to spread some “pre-holiday” (ours, at least…) cheer… Enjoy!

See you when I see you!  Please do pray for our safe, uneventful and H1N1-free  trip  to Manila soon.  God bless y’all!
