Home. Finally. Cake from the sister, Vicky Christina Barcelona in the DVD player, goofing off with the brothers. Parents are both well. Jaykie as (virtual) company. “I Am the City” accepted by Expanded Horizons for their November issue. (I’m a “repeat author” y’all!) November 1st came and the sun was up and about, oh yes, the day looking ridiculously beautiful. Good times, good times.

Thanks to all those who greeted me.

Let’s talk about the weight gain later.

Christening day of uber-cute Johan. I’m still waiting for Joan (proud mom) to upload the photos. God, I must have looked horrid. But what the hell. Love you Joan, your baby’s absolutely adorable. :)

Watched this with Jaykie.

Not a fan of romantic films at all, but believe me, this is a fun watch. “Inventive” I think was the word Roger Ebert used to describe this film.

Got this early birthday gift. Howee. (Also: we were able to find an issue of The New Yorker in BookSale that went for TEN PESOS. TEN PESOS my goodness.)

Random: I had my ID picture taken at Waltermart for ze French class. My hair’s blue in the picture. TRUE STORY.

Some pipe or whatever exploded in the condo unit washroom. Got drenched. (Quick: think boom box, car, boys, SOAP SUDS.) Ondoy-like flood indoors whut.
