the year of the dog

metal dog - january 25, 1982 to fenruary 12, 1983

the dog is honest, genuine, loyal, sincere and respects law and order - qualities of an ideal citizen of the country! he is not materialistic and possesses humanitarian instincts. he is the type who would lay down his life for a friend or relative. however, he can suffer bouts of melancholy or when when the situation calls for it, show flashes of temper.

this is your year and it is the time to forge ahead. fortune favors bold dogs who seize opportunities this year. there will be positive career developments in march, april, september and october. you should rely on your family and friends to make them part of your plans and goals. although your finances will significantly improve, be vigilant and avoid unnecessary expenditures.

on the home front, your family life is well aspected. it will be good time for home improvements and for dogs wanting to move house, this is the year to do so. travel opportunities will come during the second half of the year. romantically, this is a good time for a new start - a revitalization of old ties or a chance encounter leading to romance.

> a fresh start

after not being able to access my blog for the past 2 weeks, i decided to start a new one. like a fresh start for the new year, chinese new year at least.

i'm semi-glad to leave my past blog, maybe it was a sign for me to move on and stop fretting over these small things. so i get the point that i should just "leave-it-all-behind". much better.

i'm really excited for my so-called project.. its called karaoke. hehe. i know some people might already know this, cause we concocted this together. (hahaha). well, i keep praying and praying that it will push through. i'm semi-deperate depending on how you see it. it is just something that i really wanted to do. just to share, i've never really wanted and prayed for something this hard ah, i always leave everything to the one above, but this is a different case. i think i need back up here.

my singapore trip was uber-fun.. got to eat different kinds of foos from indonesian, chinese, indian, singaporean and japanese.. and i think dahil na-iba lang ang lugar, and there was nothing really to do. it was just vacation and me buying pasalubong for my family and friends... yun ang nakaka-stress, maghanap ng mga pasalubong. hehehe.

highlights of my trip:
1. went to orchard road and ate the $1 ice cream.
2. went to the night safari. although i am not fond of animals.. masaya din siya.
3. went to sentosa.. underwater world, images of singapore, cable car ride.. expensive, but hey, you gotta do it once at least.
4. ben and jerry's.. my indulgence, spening almost $5 for one scoop of ice cream.
5. another indulgence would be eating at sakae sushi, eat all you can style for $27.
6. having the a brownie at the brownie factory, a 2 by 2 piece for $3.
7. went to little india
8. went to chinatown
9. got a taste of their ice monsters na hindi.. i describe it as parang halo-halo with all the beans and jelly's in the world.
10. got to go to topman and spent money like crazy. i went to 4 topman store's in singapore, and everytime i leave the store, i have plastic bags around. haay. that is why i cant shop for the next 3 months.
11. i love their rottiboy.. its like a bread but it is so good without any filling. breadtalk would taste the same naman specifically for their hot floss.
12. went to the grocery and got dozens of chips that i gave to accounts and buying my mom's bilin of mi goreng.
13. of cors, visitng ahya ichi and achi michelle.. and my super cute na inaanak ethan.. :)

well, thats basically it. i promise to go back there for more. shout out's for some people:
- ahya ichi and achi mich sa pagsama sa amin around, it must be tiring to walk with us all day..
- mom and dad for the extra funds. hahaha!!!
