Girl on the Move

We're moving away from our home temporarily for one month. This is due to the major renovations that will be done to our deteriorating and overly decaying home (too old that it looks like a haunted house to some) next week. Because of this, there will be an awful lot of things that I'm surely gonna miss. Here's my list:

1. My Stuffed Toys (obviously, I'm not allowed to bring them all)
2. My old lumpy but comfy bed (I do hope we'll be able to bring this one)
3. Fresh air (We live in a very nature-friendly environment that's why I'm kinda used to it. So I do hope that we'll live in a close-to-nature place like that too.)
4. My computer...and probably (sniff, sniff!) my dsl
5. My study table and all the things that are in it.
6. La Mesa Ecopark (waaah!!! no more fitness trails...)
7. The whole bunch of kids in the neighborhood (they all look cute to me!)
8. The clean, pure and abundant drinking water (I'm very cautious on this one)
9. Our whole house in general.


FYI: This will be my first time to move in a different place. I do hope I'll like it in our temporary home. I also wish that I wouldn't get lost every time I go home because as far as I've known myself, I truly don't have any sense of direction. Wish me luck then! hahaha!


My mom said that she already found the perfect home...I wonder what it looks like?

It's hard teaching old folks new tricks
My mom asked me or rather implored me to teach her how to use the yahoo messenger.

Well, that's new....I think, for some non-techie exec like her.

I was quite tempted to congratulate her of some sort but was plagued with conscience anyway for the last minute because I felt that she'll take it as some sort of sarcasm.

So even if I was busy doing some light reading, (people who know me can attest that I don't want anyone bothering me whenever I'm reading) I was forced to stop and teach her the basics of YM.

Anyway, it's hard to explain my teaching experience with her. Maybe if you'll look at the picture below you'll see what I mean. Haha!


So now I'm being mean. Anyway, I must say that although she was being quite impatient and too inquisitive to handle, she still managed to learn a lot, and fast.

And although she literally disturbs me every now and then with my reading to ask for some questions and also to read her messages (because for the NTH time, she left her glasses again in her office), teaching her something new was quite worth it.

It was quite a change, I must say, from the usual mother-as-the-teacher type.

And I can help but to say that I'm proud of her.


Bravo Mom!


Haha! (^^,)
