Rest Day

I have not been feeling well for several days. I was able to rest today because we had power interruption for a few hours. I had no choice but to sleep after I watched “The Town” starring Ben Affleck on the newly charged computer.

I munched on some chips to see if my tastebuds are ok while watching the video only to feel a vile taste in my mouth so I had to throw up.  Ugh.

In a way, getting sick means having to rest from work but housework I can’t escape. I’d rather do housework while I’m feeling better than when I’m not.

I wish I’d be well soon. I don’t like the feeling of being parched at all times.

Billboard Confusion

Showbizlandia had been abuzzed about that billboard that didn’t look right. This issue sparked a verbal spat and the said photo is seen in this magazine feature:

To those who saw this in a billboard along the metro’s busiest highway (that includes me, though I wasn’t able to take a photo because I was dumbfounded) were quite surprised and probably asked a lot of questions. Did she have a non-invasive procedure? Did she use a lipo 6? How rigid was the fitness program and diet, if there were any?

I see nothing wrong in the picture BUT as my children exclaimed, SC doesn’t look like that on television so why is she pictured as such? Uh-oh.

Is it really thank you MF or thank you Adobe?

Grammar Checker

I’m not saying I have a perfect syntax. I don’t.

BUT!!!

For example, I will probably not write like “I will read about slow cooking online last night when the electricity was stopped” when I could write “Last night, I was reading about slow cooking when the electric power was cut off”

Before I click the “Publish” button I read my entries first to see what could be wrong. I may feel what I wrote was ok but sometimes I see mistakes that has not been edited and so I go back and edit.

If  in case one is concerned about sentence construction, there are several ways to check through the grammar police: Continue Reading »

My Stone Cabin

I got an account with Facebook because of two things: my eldest daughter signed up and my friends were playing Farmtown.

My daughter is still very much active with her FB account but the friends have stopped playing Farmtown. Some former Farmtown neighbors moved on to the other farming game.

Lately though, out of curiosity, I went back to my game. I was so surprised to see so many changes in Farmtown and it feels like it’s a new game to me.

I was able to get my mansion early last year before I stopped playing. When I went back to the game not too long ago I saw new houses and got myself a log cabin and two stone cabins (among other purchases)  for XP and leveling up.

Here is one stone cabin in place of the mansion I placed in my storage: Continue Reading »

Late Night Movie Dates

Hubby and I have taken to viewing movies or tv series late at night. Yes, we are up till after midnight at time, watching and munching. The other night we watched The Ghost Writer munching on roasted garlic nuts, potato chips and sharing a bottle of Mountain Dew.

No movie tickets to buy, parking fees to pay and gasoline to burn. Sounds good to me.

Of course I don’t need to say that this is not going the way I want especially regarding the waist management. Diet pills that work fast, come to me! LOL

Anyway, The Ghost Writer is a good movie considering I can relate to, not with the plot but with the work. It was at first a bit confusing but as the movie progressed, the plot thickens smoothly. I do write online articles where my name doesn’t appear. Yes, it’s true. There are other articles where my name appears like this trove of wonderful articles site oh no! sadly the site has been closed. Sad, sad, day.

So while this closed, I still have other online writing tasks to finish. In fact I have a pending article right now which I will be doing in a while.
