Have you ever seen that series on TV? I watched an episode for the first time tonight and it looks like it's a fun show to watch.
I think I want to see the whole season. Yes I do.

I am currently on another long weekend but I can't say that I am enjoying it a 100%. For one thing, I've been at home for 48 hours straight and I doubt if I will really go out by myself tomorrow. Perhaps it would be a great idea to really do so, while everyone else is watching Pacquiao's big fight against Diaz.
Whenever I'm at home I do not worry about pigging out. There's not that much junk food around here so it's not a big issue. What I do worry about is vegging out. I end up sleeping all the time. And when I sleep the weekend off, I feel like it's time wasted. Specially now when I usually get enough sleep on workdays, oversleeping on weekends just feels like an over-indulgence for me. Haha.
I did make some truffles earlier this evening. I'll make another batch tomorrow afternoon. On Monday, I'll probably make peanutbutter ones. My loyals must be craving for their fix, I was supposed to deliver tonight, but things beyond my control had intervened. They'd have to wait until at least tomorrow or the next day.
Anyway, please go visit me at my other blog because it is updated more often than this one now

Leave me some lovin' when you come visit!
Man how time flies.
AJ turns 4 tomorrow. Yes, the youngest baby in this clan is already 4 years old. He starts school tomorrow so we had a small celebration tonight.
My oldest nieces are both in highschool now. I was their age when they were born, 14. Funny how when I was that age, I already saw myself as quite mature, but I look at them now and still feel that they are very young.
Esban already started attending big school last week - he's in first grade. He seems to be enjoying it. I still can't accept though that kids as small as he is have to trek to school so early and start classes at 6AM. There's just something really wrong with that but that's how it is in all Public elementary and secondary schools in this country.
His mother got him a reading/writing tutor to help him along that department. He's a very bright boy but it's a tad too soon for him to be in first grade so he's gonna need all the help he can get.
They're all growing up so fast.
We had a snake scare today! It's a national holiday today so mom and dad were home. Just as they were getting ready to go out though, as mom was on her way down the stairs, we heard her scream! She saw a small snake gliding through the kitchen floor! Dad ran to mom and boyfriend went and grabbed Zune because she was running towards mom too. As soon as he held Zune, he got something to catch the little snake with.
We probably should have put it in a bag and called animal specialists or something, like the Wildlife office. But, I think boyfriend killed it and then threw it in the garbage bin. On hindsite, to capture it and then bring it to Parks and Wildlife would have been the politically correct thing. But we were all panicky and all.
I just wish that's the last one we'll see inside the house.
Thank God it didn't bite Zune while he was asleep or something.
One of my agents tendered her resignation last week. She's serving 30-day notice so she still has 3 more weeks with us. She's been helping me with coaching duties. I'm lucky to have a writer like her who can coach others on writing style and stuff like that. This month, she also finally had consistent reliable performance. I do not look forward to seeing her leave.
But I understand and fully support her reason. She's been accepted to take up her Masters in English Lit at Cardiff University at Wales. That's a chance of a lifetime. If I had her opportunity, I would go too.
I asked her how she was going to pay for it, does it come with a scholarship? No, she will have to take a student loan, and there also discounts for foreign/international students. She mentioned that there are also student loans available for interested parties who have work experience already, it seems that there are different terms for that. In jest, I said that maybe I should give it a try too. That's why she mentioned maybe I could apply for a student loan myself.
Some years ago, when Friendster was a new thing, this was about 4 or 5 years ago already, I was going through some minor crisis. I was envious of batchmates (from gradeschool, highschool, and college) who have gone on to earn their MAs or are in law or medical school. I told myself, shit I can do that if they can! Really, part of me was feeling really small because I was the one who was supposed to be doing that. No one held me back, in truth, nothing held me back. It did not last long, there was no major depression. Okay, I may have cried to my boyfriend once and he was so encouraging and all. But after that, it was over as quickly as it came. If I wanted to go back to school - I could. If I wanted to be a lawyer - I probably could. But I realized that I didn't want to. Deep down in my heart, I didn't want to be doing any of that. Oh, and I still didn't look forward to so much studying.
Still, with S going away to Wales in September, I couldn't help but think about those things again. I'm thinking about finally settling things at UP so I could get my diploma. Then I can freely think about filing for a student loan, or applying for scholarships in schools anywhere in the world.
