This morning, I went to the DHL office, WWW Express,to ship my brother’s documents to Kuwait. When I entered their office along Lacson St., a female staff was still assisting a customer. The seats were empty and there were no other persons next in line but me.
That would be good. It means it will be quick to finish my transaction.
July 11, 2011. Starbucks, Cubao QC. My wrist watch said 11 o’clock.
I was hanging out with my girl friends Aubrey, Lyn and Darlene because it was Aubrey’s birthday. It has been years since the last time we spent time with Au. Not long after we drained our glasses, we called it a night and let Au take a taxi cab first before we headed home.

“Jean’s coming here for May Joy’s wedding. Then, where should we take him for vacation?”
Everybody racked their brains for the places to visit and the things to do while Jean’s in the Philippines. It’s Jean’s very first visit of his mom’s hometown and we all wanted it to be memorable for him.
I was about to go out for the grocery store when I gave instructions for my brother in case I needed help in bringing the bags. He agreed to wait for my text message. At least, that was the plan.
Frying is the most common method of cooking meals. We can find fried eggs, dried fish or hotdogs, side by side with fried rice, on our table during breakfast. Everyone loves fried foods, too. There are fried chicken, pork chop, french fries, tempura, banana chips… you name it!
Yesterday, Val and I went to watch the first part of the last series of Harry Potter. If my memory serves me right, the last movie we watched together in the big screen was Avatar.
Yamyam first saw it in Hong Kong. It is a slipper adorned with fruit-like design and Swarovski accent. When we were in Cebu for her medical exam, she vowed to get her herself a pair of those slippers.
Katkat saw it in Ayala Center Cebu early this year but wasn’t able to take note of the name of the store nor the brand of the slippers. We already checked each stall in each corner of the mall, as well as the mall directory, and still we couldn’t find any. Alas, Katkat noticed that there was one area of the mall where we hadn’t checked out. Just as we descended the escalator, Hotflops was already waving to us.
“Ris, do you know how to get around Cebu?”
“Yes…” What!? Why did I answered “yes” when I wasn’t even 100% sure about it?
“…if you have the address… so that I can check on it,” was my quick reply.
Not to mention my very first blog site in the social networking site Friendster five years ago, I kept changing my blog domain from “hiddensanctuary” to “isayslife” to ”wanderlandia.” ”Wanderlandia” is my third blog name in WordPress alone.
I got my latest domain name from the word “wander” which suits best my character. I love to wander around to see new places — near or far — and stuff. Now, let’s see what’s in store for us in “wanderlandia.”
Wanderlandia! Here we come! 
Most of the time, I accompany my father in his medical checkups. This is when I became more familiar with diabetes. Diabetes, being the most dreaded disease worldwide, is also the most complex.

I’m not sure if I could watch The Last Airbender on big screen. My hands are tight at the moment. For now, I would like to share some interesting facts I read about The Last Airbender movie.
Noah Ringer
At the age of 10, Noah Ringer, who plays Aang, had begun practicing Taekwando. He won several trophies including the title of American Taekwando Association Texas State Champion.
I’m not an avid fan of anime television series but I’ve seen some of them like Akazukin Chacha, Final Fantasy, Yu-Gi-Oh, Sailor Moon and Naruto. While my husband was still in Cebu, he would tell me stories about Avatar and this is when I became familiar with the quest of the last Airbender.
I remember back then, in 5th grade, when Hazel drew our dream houses on a piece of intermediate pad and labeled each drawing with Dream House No. 1, No. 2 and No. 3. I can barely recall who got the other dream house sketches and what the houses looked like. Up until now, I still keep that Dream House No. 1.
This apartment in Gonzaga has been a witness throughout the 20 years of our lives. We moved here when my mother was heavy with our youngest brother. My youngest brother just graduated in college and in less than a week, we’ll be moving to a new home.
Packing up our things seems endless. I lost count of how many bags of trashes and old stuff I threw out, yet it looks like I still have more things to sort out – from used clothes to cassette tapes and from old CDs to bundles of letters and greetings cards. It took me several nights to consider the things I will take with me. If I were to decide, I would bring all my stuff with me. That’s how I treasure the things I own especially those things given to me.
I found it weird at first to jog at night. Will there be other people jogging besides us? Last Wednesday, Val and Kat were able to jog at past 7 p.m. and there were several joggers, too. Last night, I decided to give it a try. Perhaps, it might be more comfortable jogging in a cool night rather than in a warm summer morning.
Whew! It took my whole afternoon in selecting a new Wordpress theme and editing my widgets and admin settings, but a few minutes to decide to change my blog url. As I was waiting for Val to finish his edits in Mommy’s thesis, I couldn’t seem to wait to re-start my pc then make the changes right then and there. I knew it would take hours of reconstructing my new site, so I lengthened my patience. We were also waiting for Kat to arrive to have our jog in Capitol Lagoon.
Everytime Val and I drop by a sports shop, I like to check out the compass they sell. I don’t know why I always desire of owning one. I love exploring Mother Nature, but I’m not adventurous enough to trek the mountain or wander into the woods alone.
Almost everyone hold back from using credit cards. It can be tempting at times to shop and swipe away with that handy plastic card found inside your purse without even thinking whether you’ll have the money to pay for it when the bill arrives. If you failed to pay the whole amount before its due date, interest will be added and on the next billing statement, you’ll be surprised at how much it has increased. What’s worse? It will continue to increase and you endlessly pay the amount you never used.
Almost everyone I know love pets. At home, we never have one. Maybe that’s the main reason why I’m afraid to be near with dogs and cats. The main thought of being bitten scares me. I even stayed away from a hen; scared that she’ll peck me. But, don’t get me wrong. It doesn’t count me as an animal hater. In fact, I love watching some owners play with their pets. That’s just it, I’m contented of being a mere audience even from afar.
