Long Weekend Ahead.

April 30th, 2009

Even though I’m no longer a corporate slave, holidays such as tomorrow certainly bring smile to my face. Why? Because it means we get to spend the whole day with the husband. Much more if the holiday falls on a Friday because long weekends means longer quality time, more lakwatsas and for me, more time to enjoy a faster internet connection at my in laws place. (They used to have an internet shop at home but didn’t cancel or downgrade their dsl plan after terminating the business). So just imagine how I’d be going gaga downloading my looooong list of movies and mp3s from symbianize.com starting tonight. Further, I’ll be unstoppable because I’ve signed up for a Megaupload premium account. It seems I’ll be needing another EHD for all these stuffs.

So what else will keep us busy this weekend aside from my download craze? Well, we’ll go malling either tomorrow or Saturday to try for the nth time, have Asher’s first ever hair cut at Cuts 4 Tots. This has been postponed several times already since his 1st birthday so by hook or by crook, we’ll never let this weekend pass without accomplishing it.

We’ll spend our Sunday at my FIL’s hometown in Pulilan, Bulacan. It’s their town fiesta and at the same time an uncle of hubby will celebrate his birthday so there goes another bout of pigging out session. And of course, watch Manny Pacquaio’s big fight against Ricky Hatton. I bet the country’s criminal rate would recede again as everyone’s world will stop and all eyes will be glued on the television.

Wednesday Happy Thoughts.

Apalit Sunday Getaway.

April 28th, 2009

Last April 19, we, together with my in-laws, trooped to Apalit..my MIL’s hometown. It’s their town fiesta and given the fact that Kapampangans are great cooks, this event shouldn’t surely be missed. We had great food..all tables that we went were abound with various meat, chicken and fish dishes, sweet native delicacies, street foods (there were chicken feet and head) and a lot more. We “table-hopped” from house to house (there were four all in all) and we’re overwhelmed with the hospitality of Paul’s relatives. We were so full that our tummies felt like it’s gonna explode if we took in another bite. It’s just a blessing that I have a scrawny built and I am not conscious of my calories intake so diet pills are out of the picture. We took some photos however, the heat was so intolerable plus our heavy tummies idled us that we were able to take just a few snapshots and of course, mostly of the little one.

Movies To Watch This Week.

April 26th, 2009

Since the internet connection here in my in laws’ place is fairly speedy, I’ve been downloading movies from Symbianize (thanks Joy and Caryl for the reco) like crazy since yesterday morning.

And so in two days, here are the movies that I’ve downloaded and are lined up to be viewed this coming week (all extracted and running in good quality mp4 format):

1. Il Mare
2. When Love Begins
3. Caregiver
4. A Love Story
5. Ploning
6. Nights in Rodanthe
7. Fireproof

I was able to download Fireproof last night however, I can’t seem to extract the files correctly.

Edited: I was able to download a ready mp4 format of Fireproof last Sunday night before we drove home to Makati. Strikeouts mean they were viewed already

Right now, I’ll start to compile a list for another weekend download galore next week. Any suggestions?
