Via Airmail

Monday - I received a letter from my aunt in Hong Kong. She also sent me a mini album of the pictures she took using her digicam. I just can't explain the excitement I feel whenever I receive letters from the mail. 2 weeks ago, I received five or six letters from Iya, one of my buddies back home. I waited till it was bedtime before I read all her letters. I waited till everyone's asleep because I wanted a peaceful and calm atmosphere while reading them. Even with the latest technology we have such as e-mails or text messages, I still prefer handwritten letters.

It's getting harder every week..

Sometimes I really feel like giving up coz I hardly have the time to practice really. But I am no quitter.. I dream of one day be able to play my favorite songs. That alone inspires me to work or rather practice more..

November 12
Last Friday, I couldn't help but just smile, because exactly 9 years ago, I had my first boyfriend. Yeah I know, too young huh? Hahaha! I was just thinking, what could or what might have been, if I did not break up with him. 9 years na sana kami. He was the guy that my mom really wanted for me. But you know what? Eventhought we did not end up together, I am happy for him now... Coz he already found the right girl. Him and I are good friends, what else could I ask for? (",)

What I'm Loving Right Now...

Lychee Flavored Jelly. Tastes best when chilled.. I'm loving it so much that I asked mom to buy one whole bucket. (",)

Grass Jelly Drink (Banana Flavor) a.k.a Black Gulaman
Eversince I was I kid, I've always loved black gulaman, coz my mom, mama(my grandma) and my tita, serve this drink whenever small gatherings are held at home. Imagine my delight when I learned that they have it here and it's ready to drink.. (",) So it means I don't have to persuade mom to make one...(I think it requires a lot of time to make it. Coz she has to slice the black gulaman into small bits.. )

Storm Of The Century

It was a scary one, but it was too long, imagine 248 minutes??? I actually fell asleep watching it. Hahaha! I do not recommend this movie.

Sunday...Family Day
We all went to church together. Mom and I sang for the choir.

After the mass, our first stop was:

Lincolnwood Town Center. It's the nearest mall in our place. Spent hours window shopping.. Bought some stuff for nail care. I have this very brittle nails and I'm hating it. I think if i'll just dip my nails in water for quite a while, I could peel of the whole thing! Hahaha!

Fave Japanese Resto

We had lunch at New Tokyo along Broadway and Belmont. It's my fave jap resto in town! Had the New Bento Combo which had tempura, sashimi, miso soup, california maki. And for dessert, I had green tea flavored mochi! Yummy! Forget about losing weight first. It's my fave resto that we're talkin bout here.. (",) At least, when I do eat Japanese food, I don't feel guilty. Coz compared to Chinese food, Jap food has no, or it has lesser cholesterol. I don't feel bloated after eating. Chinese food is too oily for me..

Peace Everyone! (",)
