doing the papaya earns you gifts.

it's a pretty late night for me, not because i'm working, but merely because i can't sleep.  to pass the time i've been trying to organize the files on my computer and while doing this i came across a few videos that i thought i had lost forever.  i'm sharing with you one of my favorites from christmas of 2007. 

you're totally allowed to laugh because i sure as hell do every time i watch it, but allow me to explain.  every christmas the grandchildren are required to put on a show.  this show always consists of two parts:  a reenactment of the nativity scene and a performance.  these requirements have to be fulfilled before we're allowed to open presents.   this was our performance for the 2007 christmas season...

YOUR last supper.

i keep browsing pages of the one book that i want a copy of, but can't seem to get myself to buy.  i can't figure out why i won't spend for it because every time i go into a bookstore i sit for hours reading it even though i've read it 10 times before that.  

so i ask all of you, from the book "my last supper": 

what would your 'last supper' be?  who would you be sharing it with?  who cooked it?  where are you eating it?  what time of day is it?  what are you drinking with it?

that's more than just one question, but please share.  reading these will make me smile.

a juicy conversation.

the conversation ends here because i fell asleep.

cover models, continued

i just wanted to update everyone on what else i found on facebook.  prepare yourselves, because it's a WOW.  ohhhhhh man.....

i still can't stop laughing!

pleasant surprises.

my computer often gets left on one of the tables in the dining room, in the office, on the bar, in the kitchen, in my sister's room, in my cousin's room, pretty much anywhere i can carry it, it gets left.

i'm guilty of leaving it vulnerable to the elements, a.k.a. anyone and everyone in my family.

considering i own a mac, young non-mac owners are always intrigued with the photobooth application.  i do have to agree with them, it is quite amusing at times, but this intrigue has left me with a plethora of pictures and videos on my computer that i just can't get myself to delete. i figured i'd share with you a few of my favorites and some commentary behind them.

i can't remember for the life of me why this picture was taken on my computer.  i don't know why justin felt the need to take a picture of himself with a fu manchu.  he looks like he has eye liner on too.   

my sister's thought it'd be funny to leave me with a series of pictures after i fell asleep first.  i'm asleep behind them and this is hands down the best one.  

miren and ela were testing out one of the effects.  mommy had no idea what she was walking into.  her marge simpson hair cracks me up!

the lax international terminal can be a very boring place while waiting behind 50 filipinos, each with 2 balikbayan boxes taped up, roped up, filled with corned beef and chocolates, ready for check in.  this is how my dad and i chose to pass the time.

very much like his older sister, this guy is a tricky trickster.  i was kissing him to say goodbye and i hear a flash.  this is the picture that popped up on the screen.  he's awesome like that.

so a couple of weeks ago two of my little cousins told me they had a photo shoot at school.  they didn't say they were taking 'school pictures', they specifically said 'photo shoot', so i was curious as to what the heck would arise from it.

i was just browsing facebook and came across an album entitled 'Proper School Uniform and Haircut'.  i've been on my computer for the last 15 minutes, and without exaggeration i've been laughing the entire time.  in no way am i laughing at them, although it is tempting, i'm merely laughing at the fact that THIS is the 'photo shoot' my little cousins were oh so excited to be in.  

i guess this is how wild and crazy private school photo shoots get...

everyone, meet JD.  he's in the 2nd grade, if his t-shirt hadn't given it away yet.

i'm still trying to figure out why they take side view shots

little kid fake smile

now everyone, meet miren, she's in the 6th grade.  i have a feeling she was the MOST excited about the shoot.

she's about an entire head taller than this boy.  is that how it was at that age?

distractions.

i haven't blogged in a few weeks.  this was brought to my attention by an avid reader, whom, even with her busy schedule still checks for updates everyday.  it's flattering to know that i've become a part of someone's daily computer ritual.  i guess i should stay consistent with my blogging so i don't lose followers.

the last few weeks have been quite eventful to say the least.  i had a little run in with a jeepney, one of my nearest and dearest friends, miss lauren rodriguez, dropped by cebu to say hi (see picture below), and i discovered that not sleeping for 48 hours makes you say weird things.

since i still haven't fully recovered from the lack of sleep i have to end it here, but i will leave you with this question... is there a 'classy' way to pick food from your teeth?

12 years later and we're still awesome
