Moving out!
For a few weeks now, I've been busy preparing and planning my move out. Yes, for almost a year of living alone, I'll be transferring to a new apartment, with my new roommates. Isn't that exciting? Imagine the money that will be saved from sharing an apartment!
In order for me to have a smooth transition, I'm creating my laundry list:
1. Vacating notice to current apartment - check
2. Stop furniture rent service - check (pick-up date: 2/28)
3. Turn off gas utility from Vectren - check
4. Stop TimeWarner cable - check (return boxes, rc, etc date: 2/28)
5. Transfer electricity service under DP&L - due date: 24 hrs before move-in
6. Finalize cable package. Should have high-speed internet and Filipino channels (of course!)
7. Reserve / Buy full size mattress and box at Furniture city - 2/21 or 22
8. Call / Reserve a mini-truck at U-haul - check
9. Pay and pick-up things (microwave, electric fan, vacuum, computer table & chair, bookcase, side tables with lamps: $90) bought from Ayie - 2/23 morning (after doctor's appointment)
10. Pay and pick-up dining table and rug ($80) bought from Ria - 2/27
11. Change address after signing-up lease (para sure na talaga!) at USPS, etc.
12. Itinerary during move-in date
- 9am Uhaul pick-up office to load stuff from Malou's house, then to Furniture city to pick-up the mattress, then to the new apartment
- Sign-up lease at the new apartment, unload the stuff
- After sign-up and unloading, drive Uhaul to load stuff from Hidden Lakes, then Conifers then unload stuff back to the new apartment
- Return Uhaul
- Go back to new apartment and let the fun begin!

Weatherman
It's freezing! Now that the snowstorm is past, skies are clear but temperatures are dropping, as low as -5. Since a snowstorm was seen to hit our area last Monday, I began monitoring the news and the internet.
It's amazing how storm teams work. Besides the temperature, they also tell how many inches of snow will be expected and the time, like an ETA. They have live animated radars available on their websites. You don't have to wait for the news on tv. They even have a
weatherblog for crying out loud! I really like it! They are so detailed and the weathermen answers comments and questions posted.
All information are available under your fingertips. You can't say you're not prepared. I went to the grocery store the night before the storm, and everybody was stocking up, water, food, shovels, flashlights, etc. Salt trucks were ready, waiting for the first snow fall before they can salt the roads. And on local tv channels, you will see schools and offices that will be closed, even public meetings that will be cancelled.
Thanks to our weathermen who are doing a great job!
(I wish the Philippines can further advance its weather technology. May "PAG-ASA" pa ba? )

Too much tv? Seriously? Seriously!
"I never said that I love you"...Jb's hurtful words to Celine. And this too... "It's just a kiss...it doesn't mean anything..."
"I love you so much that it hurts not being with you"...Emotional words of Bokbok to Poknat
House doesn't know how to answer his patient's question: "Has anything bad ever happened to you?" So he asks his colleagues. Chase isn't so sure and since House has given her a sedative, Chase tells him, "Keep her asleep."
"Thanks. You've all been a huge help."
"There's no wrong answer because there's no right answer."
"Wrong. We just don't know what the right answer is."
Meredith tells her mother that she's happy and that she's dating another doctor. Ellis tells her how disappointed she is in her. "Listen to me, Meredith. Anyone can fall in love and be blindly happy. But not everyone can pick up a scalpel and save a life. I've raised you to be an extraordinary human being. So imagine my disappointment when i wake up after 5 yrs and discover that you're no more than ordinary. What happened to you?"
"You know what happened to me? You! You happened to me!" - Meredith's reply to her mother
“The first thing they tell you when you take the job, is to never fall in love with an inmate.” Sara turns to see Michael’s reaction. He slowly moves his hand in and caresses her face. Sara’s eyes light up and she moves in to kiss him.
"You look a little odd. Your dancing is terrible. The singing was horrendous. And you look like one of those creatures that live in the jungle with massive eyes." Simon's hilarious comments to a Seattle contestant in American Idol.

The King and I at Chicago
I was back in the Windy city for a couple of days. It was so nice to see the city again minus the brutally cold weather of course. We went there to watch the play King and I at Drury Lane near Woodfield mall. I was fortunate that my close friends here in Ohio, Malou and Nani, invited me to watch it for free. They have friends who were casts in the play.
Before the show, we took the courage to see downtown despite the torturing weather and took pictures of the lion with the Chicago Bears helmet. (Even if they lost in the Superbowl, I still think the idea was cute. Go Colts! Haha!) We also had dinner at Maggianos with 2 of the cast, Chrisy (as Guard) and Carol (as Little Eva, she's a Filipina). Fortunately, despite her busy schedule, one of my girlfriends from Manila, Gwen, joined us too. It was so nice to see her again. I wish someday all my girlfriends here in US will have a reunion.
Drury Lane has a small theater, which I really liked. The play was actually based on a true story. Many of you already know what the story is all about. It's a story of an English governess, Anna, who worked for the King of Siam and taught the children and wives of the king. It's a fun and light story that kids will also enjoy. There were several pinoys in the cast, even the King is one. Go pinoys!
We went to Grand Victoria casino at Elgin afterwards. I was hoping to meet my good friend Layla but she didn't make it. She dozed off waiting for me. Too bad. Well, what's worse is something that I don't want to mention anymore. It pisses me off everytime I recall it. Those arrogant guards!
Before our trip way home, we got a taste of the Superbowl game...watching and spending time with family and friends over lots of food and beer. The family whom we stayed at have been very accommodating and really nice.
And on our way back to home, while everybody in Chicago and Indianapolis were inside their homes watching the football game, we were inside the car tuned in on the radio. You're right! The drive was smooth, with very few cars all the way.

Happy New Year 2007!
It's late already but still I wanna greet you all a very happy new year! I had a very memorable new year's eve and I want to share it with you.
I thought I'd never make it to Times Square on the 31st because the day before that, my stomach was churning badly and I was throwing up everything I put in my mouth (probably because the night before, I drank beer with an empty stomach). It seemed that I wouldn't get any better. To my amazement, it calmed down after eating a [iece of bread (thanks Jeff for the wonderful suggestion!). And so that Saturday afternoon, me and my friends in NJ went to NY to see a glimpse on what'll be in store on the new year's eve.
It was so nice to see the grand city again. I love the feeling of coming out from the train station the first time and seeing the busy city with all those big signs and buildings in front of me. I think I will never get tired of visiting NY. Though, I could not see myself living there and I could just be a tourist forever. There were a lot of people as expected. Rockefeller was packed, people are gathered around the huge Christmas tree, taking pictures and watching the ice skating rink. People were staring up where the 2007 sign is sitting on Times Square, taking pictures. There was a stage already standing up on the middle of the street. I approached one person who seemed to be an organizer and I asked what time do we have to be there the next day to witness the ball drop. She said the streets will be closed at 30pm. I was already analyzing what time do we have to get up to be there on time. I also thought to myself, my stomach should behave properly or else I will miss it and will be left alone soaking with tears. And so that night, I went to bed early and did not drink!
I was excited more than ever. At 130, we were already at the Penn Station. Ian bought us a dozen of Krispy Kreme for baon and the group dropped by at Starbucks. Let the fun begin! It was really a battle. The street was already jampacked when we got there in Times Square. There were barriers standing on the sides of the street but there were still vehicles passing though almost not moving. We squeezed in through the crowd and tried to settle for what it seemed a best spot. When we thought we can settle already, the policemen threw out the crowd. They said there'll be a bag inspection and we were asked to circle around the block in order to get back in. To make the long story short, we all got exhausted from running and trying to beat the crowd and we lost the spot that we liked. But the spot that we ended up was not so bad at all. We can still see the ball and we're in front of the MTV building. And so, streets were closed and it started to get dark. The TSA's were giving away souvenir items like Chevy hats, Discover card scarfs and balloons. The crowd turned to color red.
We all got excited again when the first confetti fell on the strike of 7pm. Every hour from then on, there were countdowns and confetti. In between those hours, we just entertained ourselves by dancing to the music, taking pictures, watching the big screens, the people inside the MTV building and the crowd. Read this, there were barriers used for entrance / exit on every block, right? And there were cops guarding them. We learned that (in general) once you leave, you cannot go back. Yes people, you cannot pee. But of course, guys can get away with it. Wanna know how? They just go to the phone booth with their bottles, huddle and go one by one. Don't forget to check out for roving cops or else bye Times Square, hello jail. I was laughing upon seeing several bottles of Coke and Snapple filled up with yellow fluid under the phone booths. Oopss, another thing, watch out for chu-chus. One poor tourist guy was caught because of a couple of chu-chus. As in they called the officer and pointed at the man. Poor guy talaga! And the chu-chu's were even laughing at him. As for the group, some of us were not able to hold it and so they left with no other choice than to exit. They cannot go back anymore and ended up in one of the streets that were opened but not in Times Square. Whew! Buti na lang, I didn't drink coffee.
It was getting cold, so we tried to squeeze in to the center. Three hours, 2 hours, 1 hour to go. One minute to go, the ball started to drop...countdown...the crowd was getting wilder and wilder, shouting 10..9..3..2..1...Happy New Year!!! I got teary-eyed watching the fireworks, the lights, the crowd. I whispered to myself, 'Happy New Year, mom, dad, Rayms...'. I always get teary-eyed during new year, I don't know why. And then, a familiar song was played, and we all sang with it.
Start spreading the news
I'm leaving today
I want to be a part of it,
New york, New York
If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
It's up to you, New York, New Yooork...tan tan tana nan tan...

Missing Manila this Christmas
It's my first time to spend Christmas (and New Year) away from home. It's a different feeling going through the Christmas-rush shopping for people other than close family, friends and godchildren. I just want to feel that sense of Christmas spirit no matter where I am or whom I'll spend Christmas with.
Holidays are coming! Malls' have extended their hours for last-minute shoppers (like me!), further down discounts (cooool!), people at work have gone off for vacation, less cars in office parking and filled-up parking at the malls, Christmas lights and music everywhere (I put some lights on my balcony and christmas cd in my car hahaha!), Christmas cards, gifts, parties...
But I still can't help but miss Manila's Christmas...simbang gabi then puto bumbong and bibingka, parols, saving coins for those makulit kids singing carols with their improvised instruments, kris kringle, Divisoria, bazaars, decorating the christmas tree, wondering how old your mga inaanak (at sino sino nga ba sila) so you can buy more suitable gifts, queso de bola, goldilocks or red ribbon's christmas cakes, Purefoods ham, mom's or dad's arroz caldo, and the list goes on.
To mom, dad and Rayms, Merry Christmas! (I have to end this kasi baka maiyak na ako hehehe! )

White River State Park
Last Thursday, I had my first (grown-up) picture-taking with Santa. Move over kids, Santa said I can sit on his lap. It was Hidden Lake's Christmas party. There were snacks and treats and horse-drawn carriage rides for all the residents. Feeling Christmas-y!
We went to watch an IMAX 3d movie at Indianapolis State Museum. I can't remember if it was my first time to watch a full-length 3D movie but I really enjoyed it. We watched the Polar Express which I haven't seen yet. I like the story, it's cute. At first I was having difficulty with my eyes adjusting but after a few minutes, I was getting the hang of it. I felt like I was in the movie and not just watching it. Kewl!
We also went to the
Indianapolis Zoo. I was thrilled seeing a polar bear, a huge walrus and cute meerkats though I also pity them. I remember those cartoon films like Happy feet, Nemo, Madagascar, etc where the animals are being confined in the zoo while people are delighted watching them. Anyways, the zoo has this dome and a dolphin show. The show wasn't as great as I expected and the dome was solely for dolphins. Singapore's Underwater world and the dolphin show at Sentosa are way much better.
The White River Gardens, part of the zoo, has this beautiful
conservatory filled with christmas flowers, plants and a featured showcase of mini-trains and parks. The ensemble was so pleasing and relaxing.
