It was not really a shopping ‘galore’ or that we were in a shopping frenzy mood. But its the call of necessity. We are experiencing a tremenduous heat right now and last night was the last straw. Because of this continuous sweating and dehydration , we just needed to get an airconditioner!
Living in a 1800’s Victorian house, (yes, it’s an antique) we hesitated to get an AC in the past years, because of the scare of overloading the circuits that might cause fire. We just sacrificed ourselves and let the sizzling summer heat (of the previous years) to roast our skin.
Enough of the exaggerations.

This year’s summer was even ‘hotter’ than the previous year, and we just couldn’t handle the heat any more. The ‘call of AC’ has been in our minds for days and after analyzing and thinking of ways to keep the house safe from circuit overload, we found ourselves driving to the nearest 24 hour Walmart and bought that resonably priced AC.

It was already past midnight. We went straight to the AC section and got what we wanted. And anxiously went home.

Installing the AC should not be that hard. But because of our tired condition plus the over powering humidity, it took us hours to finally get it installed and ready for its main purpose. I was silently praying before pressing the ‘on’ button, still scared of what might happened next.
Kudos to us! it worked!

And after pausing for a while to smell that first burst of cool air with that new ‘electronic’ aroma, we headed straight to bed and snooze…it’s 4:30 a.m.!

That is the question…

As I sip my cold ‘fierce berry’ flavored Gatorade, just trying to keep myself cool and to slowly replace the ‘electrolytes’ that my body lost because of this dreaded heat and humidity…I just have to stop and write something for my blog.

For the past couple of days, I’ve been slaving myself to a hot ‘microwave’ oven. Which by the way, is a joke of Kit and I. I love cooking so don’t get me wrong, it’s just that this hot and humid weather we have right now is ’slowing’ me down — really, don’t wanna stay in the kitchen for a long time. The solution? TV Dinners! LOL. Those high sodium, over caloried dinner-in-a-box could sometimes be a good idea…but not all the time.

So, it’s that time of the week again that I need to do my ‘wifely’ duties…Doing the grocery list! I’m not complaining ok, its just that its hard for me sometimes. Its a complicated process using calculations and tons of research for easy recipes. LOL. I might be over exaggerating here. But cooking is a serious thing for me (for most of the time). Budgeting and planning a healthy meal (at least) are one of the things that I must consider, so I have to be precise but not ‘really’ perfect.

But a wife’s got to do what a wife’s got to do, so on to today’s agenda. LOL.

It’s so nice to know that someone really likes my ‘work’. I’m not into ‘instant gratification’ or some kind, but I always appreciate if someone compliments my…let’s say, ’sort-of’ talent.
Graphic design is a hobby of mine that just came out of my curiosity and in some point, an ‘accidental tweaking’ and ‘experimenting’ of some softwares that we have in our computer. By then I was hooked.

This morning, when I saw my cousin online on YM, she requested me to make her new sigtags for her email. Her friends really like the sigtags that I made for her, and I guess she just wanted a new one for a change. That’s good.

I didn’t mind at all. In fact, I really like doing these ’stuff’ for others without anything in return. Just a simple thank you is enough for me.

So after that quick chat, I started right away with ‘my little project’ (as what I like to call them). I was so excited, coz there are lots of designs that i have in my mind. I started applying them all at the same time but I guess the computer couldn’t handle the ’speed’ it started to ‘restart’ itself without me saving the files. After two attempts and ‘restarts’, the computer finally gave me a chance to finish my work. ‘My little project’ is finished. I ended up making five animated sigtags and blinkies. Hope my cousin likes them.

Last note…if you want a sigtag for your email, just give me a line and I would be glad to help :-)…take this offer while its free! LOL

Funny word, eh?So in the interest of putting something up on this fabulous blog space (lol)…Let’s now move forward to my today’s post…

Last night I seem to be experiencing a ‘temporary’ technical difficulty…the fact that my mind had temporarily lost its ‘functionability’, I could’nt seem to remember where i’ve put that ‘borherding’! Maybe I was just tired or maybe its because I’m getting old…oh no!
Being a person who likes to move things around, I think I should now follow one of Kit’s personal mantra – ‘Everything’s a place and everything in its place’…

‘Change is good’ as I would always utter. But next time I should put things back in its proper place before I forget where I put them eventually.

No luck in finding the Borherding, so I had to use a new one. I know one day it will just show up, and I really hate that! Realizing that I should have used-up the other first before breaking-in a new one…silly me.
(NOTE:Borherding-It’s a Chinese medicated ‘thingy’ that smells minty, it supposed to help to ease your migrane or any sore spot on your body. My leg was terribly hurting last night.)

I know that I have been ‘dormant’ for these past few weeks…hmmm, lets say a month!
I’ve been reading other’s blogs but not really putting myself in the condition to compose my own. Hopefully soon i’ll be composing more interesting blogs, but right now my head is empty. It’s funny how this brain of mine works. Most of the time i have lots of ideas to write but when I start to put them all into writing, my head just goes…blank! Nada! there goes the idea, slowly vanishing into the wilderness, LOL.
