Happy New Year
Happy New Year everyone!
Every year on January 1st, Hubby’s fam invites us to their house to celebrate the beginning of the new year – a tradition that has been honored for as long as I could remember (which spans for about a decade and a half).
Hung over from NYE celebrations – more on that on the next blog, we forced to get up but I am determined to be comfortable considering the state that we are in at the moment.
OOTD:
SHIRT: POLO Bear by Ralph Lauren sweatshirt
PANTS: wide denim pants (which I sport as sweats considering how baggy and comfy they are)
SHOES: ‘97 Nike Air Max seen here too
I love rockin the POLO Bear during the Winter time. The POLO Bear were limited editions which were only released during the winter season. This may be true years back, not really sure nowadays. Anyway, this sweatshirt is so old=vintage and was a gift to Hubs eons ago but he’s just not a sweatshirt wearing person. Quite the opposite to me which will rock sweats all day everyday if permitted to.
While I try not to make any New Year Resolution, I may have to start a list. Majority of the reason why I do not make any resolution is the simple fact that I am in fear of not accomplishing them.
Insomniac is starting to take over already… its 3AM Monday morning and I’m wide awake!
Currently: Listening to Seduction radio station in Pandora and watching Date Night in HBO.

My new LOST
Ever since LOST has signed off the air... there was an emptiness that I was desperate to get filled.
Welcome American Horror Story in FX! Ever since the first episode, I was insanely hooked!
Now, I don’t really do scary... I’ve had my share of scary movies seen in the past. While I do find them scary, it didn’t really leave any unsettling feeling.
Until one day, Hubs and I made plans to go to a haunted walk thru with his cousin and (now ex) girlfriend. OMG! was I f-ing scared! I screamed, I held tight and kept my eyes shut the whole time! I had to rely on Hubs to lead the way hoping not to fall on my ass while I clutched on to him like the coat on his back! Yes, I was that scared! And ever since then, I was never the same. I had avoided horror/scary movies.
Yes it is scary but now that it’s evolved and got its footing, it’s more suspenseful than anything. So many plots and twists that is so engaging!
Give it a try, I’m sure you will be hooked!
Currently: Catching up on American Horror Story - it got accidentally deleted from the DVR. Luckily the encore from last week’s tonight!
Goodnight.

goodbye Ms. Irene, hello Mr. Electricity
With hurricane Irene touching down our area, we were greeted with no electricity Sunday at 4am.
Okay, not so bad since we were about to go to sleep anyway with the hope that power will come back on once we awoke.
Unfortunately with natural disasters certain expectations are sometimes not met.
That morning, (or should I say, afternoon) we were greeted with no lights!
Sunday came and went and still no electricity which wasn't so bad since it was raining all day anyway and our plans was to stay indoors throughout the day. Candles kept us company along with our individual iPod touch to keep us company.
Food was a totally different story. I got a just-turned 6 year old little boy to feed. Luckily, gas was still working so I was able to cook us some breakfast consisting of eggs, hotdogs and rice. Cooking rice was a task of its own. Thank goodness for watching my mom cook them stove top growing up.
Monday - luckily, I didn't have to come in since I was still on vacation and still no power. Unfortunately the day off recovering from vacation that I anticipated had become a not so relaxing one.
2 days without power could make us go somewhat insane!
And to top it off, Baby Boy's bday celebration was this night. Before enduring the Chuck E Cheese experience, me and Hubs has decided that it would be better for Baby Boy to spend a couple of days at the grandparents' since they had power and cable.
After the party celebration, we went home in hopes that power has been restored - it wasn't.
I don't know what it is about no electricity that makes you have insomnia. Could it be the buzzing of electric current silently humming in your ear actually lulls you to sleep?
How was I suppose to sleep and wake up to get to work the next day?
Tuesday morning - still hoping with no luck :( Okay this is day 3 of no power! Man, I was so excited to be back to work! A first in my book.
Tuesday night - As we drive home from visiting our friends, we still had high hopes of coming home to a lit pathway. Around the bend before reaching our street, the road was well lit, once you get to the curvy road, it becomes total darkness and we knew... still no power. I'm starting to get used to this....
Wednesday approx 5am - I awoke with this feeling... I could see our hallway lit... what is it? Could it be? We got power! The hallway light that we left the light on is lit! Oh glorious! Had to wake Hubs up to ask him to turn off the light....
While, I have complained about our no electricity experience. I should be grateful that we actually have a place to sleep while there are others that does not.
I am grateful for friends and family that was able to "house" us in our time of need.
It was quite an experience, something for the books but something that I wish not to repeat again....

Sleep = quiet time
When baby boy was still a baby, I used to take pictures of him sleeping all the time.
It’s been quite a while since I’ve really captured this quiet and tranquil moment.
Even at 5 (almost 6) years old, he still posses the simplest most uncomplicated treasure that holds dear to my heart.
XOXO
