December 2

I've been getting a lot of advance birthday greetings from bloggers. Sa December 2 pa birthday ko. Puwede nyo pa ako i-greet ulit. Hehehe.

Austin Pinoy, Grifter, Buraot, and Pmonchet, thanks for the greetings. Pati kayo, you call me mommy! Waaaahhh!!

When my former co-workers would ask me how my kids are and I would tell them I do not have kids, they would give me that puzzled look. Then they would ask me about my husband, I would tell them I'm not married, they'd go "HA?" I would have to go to great lengths to explain to them why I am called mommy. Parang kelangan ko i-justify ang pag tawag sa akin ng mommy, kahit na hindi ko naman ito pakana.

*kamot ulo*

Ate ng Bayan

I described myself (on my blogger profile) as Ate ng Bayan. This was true when I was in my late twenties', till mid thirties. Everybody used to call me ate (big sister). Lately, people (esp in the call center industry) would call me mommy. Pak! I'm really OLD! People at the call center are half my age! Waaahhh!! Huhuhu!!

Well, I'm old na nga. I'm turing 40 in a few days.

I'm not celebrating my age.

Duhh!

Did you feel the earth move?

I felt the earth move. Not the song but literally. There was a mild earthquake here in the Philippines around 12:55PM. My neighbors did not feel it but a relative working in the port area felt it and she said it was strong. She called her mother immediately to confirm.
I somehow had a feeling we would be hit soon. Indonesia and Japan were hit recently so it was logical for the Philippines to get hit too.
