Neglect

March 19th, 2009 by apple-b215

Yes, I am neglecting my Friendster account! Sorry Friendster….and my pinoy friends.  Honestly, I’ve been on Myspace, doing most of my blogs over there.  I guess I can copy and paste it over here.

A lot of things have happened to me….so many shit!…lol pardon me.  To make it short, I’m living a double life lol!  Long story but, its kinda getting out of control, I took care of it a week ago, but there’s still one little problem…..I can’t forget!

Hurrican Ike…

September 15th, 2008 by apple-b215

About a few days before news on the projected path of Hurricane Ike took hold, people in our town had a thing called “Panic” buying.  Our local store ran out of water jugs and can goods were a bit scarce. I went over to an isle were they used to have plenty of loaves of bread stacked, instead, I found several rows of empty shelves.  I became so aware and even worried that we may have to evacuate, although there were no “Mandotory” alerts given.  I’m not a meteorologist but, somehow I tuned in and got hooked on watching the hurricane coverage flipping through different channels, I acted like one…lol  My dearest husband had to reassure me that we need not getting ourselves all shook up and just wait until they have a final say on where it would actually approach inland.  He on the other hand had a moment were he thought about leaving and go west away from the path or go over to a facility with back-up generators.  I’ve decided to either go over to my mom’s house or choose his second option. 

We both started looking over phone books and surfed through the internet on hotel availabilities and I doubt there were any—sure enough, all was booked! It was ridiculous!  I found out after all that mess, I had to hear another one, Alex had a call from his PT job asking him to work!  He accepted the offer.  He tried to explain to me that this storm is still way off and hadn’t made landfall yet.  I wasn’t really paying attention to him, and all I could do is act so furious and confused to a point were I had to ask him does he even care?  With this, I took the kids along with me to my mother’s house.  It was about almost eleven o’clock at night when I got a call from him and asked what I wanted to do, I had settled down,(I gave myself a good big slap in da face) I had forgotten what I was upset about and I told him to pick us up.  Cindy doesn’t want to be away from her “Cutty buddy” lol  Fact of the matter is, I had talked to my mom about being cautious because, her house is surrounded with trees-some are quite big with old-worn out branches.

While back in the our house, I suddenly realized that many such as myself had lost a simple faith.  We’ve completely lost faith in God.  I got so caught-up with what the rest of the town folks are saying and not trusting in Him.  I had to turn the TV off and started praying, I literally had tears on my eyes, even Alex had to ask what’s wrong with me.  He turned the TV back on and sounded really surprising to me.  He said, we may not get any of that Tropical Storm.  When I heard him, I got up and looked at the screen, I had a smile on my face, I thanked the Lord!  It was amazing and miraculous because, the outer bands or the rotation was just 20 miles away from us, we did get a bit of gust of wind and that’s about it!  I had to say “Praise be to God”………..this is just one of the greatest feeling of Love that I know and received that came from my Father above.  I Love You Lord!

This Saturday morning, we had a little sprinkle and I looked outside, kids were playing already.  I did felt sympathy and prayed for those in the Galveston area and those areas were the “Eye Wall” hit.  I have to say, if I lived in those places and the Governor ordered for Mandatory evacuations, its common sense, you just have to leave.  You don’t have to be stubborn, even when your own thinking might contradict your faith, your purpose is to save yourself or your family and do what’s right.  God wants us to take care of ourselves too

Music to my ears…

August 26th, 2008 by apple-b215

Currently listening to an 80’s love song, I would say old school but knowing different styles of a typical song “Back in da day” stuff, it would probably be Marvin Gaye, The Temptations, or Jimi Hendrix just to name a few. I would classify 80’s old school because we are however are in the 20th century and several decades past. Songs nowadays are not quite definite and constantly in transition. Every station you tune in always brings out the past, the music that was once at the top of the charts becomes “Timeless.” I can’t get enough of Love Songs, sue me! I used to think that when a person enjoys this type of music, they are mocked as “Drama Queens” or “Sissy’s” or “Emotional“ for that matter.  I was the type of person who could care less ut, now I realized that music has a way to calm me down, entertain someone in their solitude state and takes you to a different world. It’s more than a strum of a guitar, the beat of the drums or that keyboard producing melody an artist create but, the time you take to listen to the lyrics and not just hearing the tune, you’ll eventually grasp a certain song that you can relate. Really just depends on how you look at it. Maybe Cindy is just “Throwed-off” or maybe music is just part of my life, that she grew up listening to music all her life…..Thank the Lord I still can hear lol! (Clean and Healthy Ears…lmao!). Yes, I’m old school but I’m lovin’ it :)

Pangit

July 21st, 2008 by apple-b215

My Aunt emailed my mom, dad, me, and my brother the other day, probably something interesting. She said to check out "MOYMOY PALABOY" on YouTube. So, I did and I definitely regret doing it! Its a video of filipino guys lipsyncing songs and remaking their own music video…..like a parody. Just about a few seconds of watching the video, it was the only moment in a very long time that I was ashamed of actually being a "Pinoy" and I hate to say it. I guess because they were so "pangit!"….come on tita! it was so ridiculous its not even funny! The sad thing about this, hundreds of people come to watch it! grrrrrr!

Law of Attraction…hmmm

June 28th, 2008 by apple-b215

Yes, i’ve heard and seen it on Oprah Winfrey show, just happen to flip through the channel yesterday and I immediately got a little curious.  There’s something about women in a group on a show….gossip…..like the View but, this has Oprah in it! maybe it could be interesting…… the topic…………..

The Secret as the law of attraction, which is the principle that "like attracts like."………"the most powerful law in the universe," and says it is working all the time. "What we do is we attract into our lives the things we want, and that is based on what we’re thinking and feeling,"  The principle explains that we create our own circumstances by the choices we make in life. And the choices we make are fueled by our thoughts—which means our thoughts are the most powerful things we have here on earth…………………….. I definitely agree

The law of attraction means that everything that happens to you—good or bad—you attract to yourself, as if you’re placing an order. "If you were at a restaurant and you ordered something, you fully expect it to come served that way. That’s how the universe is. You’re putting out orders—consciously and unconsciously," So if you say, ‘I’ll never have a great relationship,’ you just placed an order."…………………….everything you focus on can have an effect on your life—from books to magazines to thoughts. "All of that affects how we feel, and the feelings actually send out a wave into the universe, and anything that’s vibrating in a similar level gets attracted into our life."

"Most people focus on how it is. We talk about our current reality—’I'm in debt. I’m overweight. I’m not happy. I’m sad. The world’s not working. We’re at war,’ whatever. And the more you think about that and focus on that and talk about it, the more you attract that [negativity]………………………….."thoughts—which turn into experience, speech and behavior—become the "feeling tone of your life." "An individual can actually begin to generate a certain feeling of gratitude, of love, of peace and of harmony, and the universe will begin to match that feeling tone—and what will flow into your life will match the feeling that you’re holding,"……"It means that everyone…can release themselves from being a victim and begin to take control of their life’s destiny."……………………………………

Gratitude is one example of the magnetic force of the universe. "Basically, nothing new can come into your life unless you open yourself up to being grateful [for what you already have]," ………………………….spiritual growth does not mean religion but our "real identity." "The love, the peace, the joy, the wisdom, the harmony—these are all qualities of the spirit that it’s seeking to express through us,"….."And so as we become more awake, more aware of that, our life is filled with that kind of vibration, that kind of feeling tone. To grow spiritually is to actually become more aware of who you really are."………………….."It’s not, ‘If you build it, they will come,’ necessarily. It’s, ‘If you build it and it provides value, they will come,’"…"It’s that heart space. Not ‘What can I get?’ but ‘What can I give and how can I serve?’ And when you’re in that moment, the universe lines up behind you and it’s at your command."

Cooking

May 22nd, 2008 by apple-b215

Have you ever felt after watching a great cooking show, seeing all that kitchen verbs are being done such as chopping, stirriing, mixing, and boiling ….zip….boom….bah…bon apetitte…..you wanted to do something similar like it?  Well, I did, I tried with a pasta….the spaghetti kind of pasta, experimenting on how to make your own recipe using what you got in the fridge.  I’m not going to say leftovers, I’d go feed my Aunt Lillie’s dog for that but, with what ingredients you got.  I wanted the food to look really good but ended up with "Hey Cindy, whatcha cookin’?"  My response would be, "I don’t know…..sh**?"  It’s a matter of how I felt at that moment when you tried but turned out not what you expected….like "Da**! what’d I do wrong?"  Curiousity can sometimes do to your advantage, I didn’t give up, I kept on and the inevitable happened!…..I cooked something my kids would want some more…..but then again, I remembered my mom cooked this to me and my brother before 

Well, at least when I asked my mom about the ingredients she put into it and I never thought she had added a little "Oyster sauce"…..eeeeek! but its not nasty as it sounds, it is quite good.  I know come New Years time, I have to face the unforgettable menu of "Chittterlings" and i am NOT such a big fan of it.  Don’t forget about Okra, i call it "Snot veggie."  Just an opinion, I am pro for Health Awareness   Recalling back in my younger years in the Philippines, I would often gag at the site of "Squid" and the smell of fried "Eggplant."  No one forced me (or my cousins….long story) to eat it but, I was anticipating that sweet chocolate price after i finish my plate.  Hersheys chocolate back then was like a "Treasure" for a pinoy kid.  So, I had a "Fear Factor" moment! I chewed it while I tried holding my breath.  Squid is tough, I felt like I just ate a rubber.  Alas! I had a piece of the treat and I was satisfied. 

There’s a saying from pinoy old folks, "A girl is not to get married unless she learns how to cook."  This is true, how on earth are you going to fix food for the family?  They never said anything about splendid cooking but at least you know How to Cook.

Furnishing the Inner Sancrum…blah blah

May 21st, 2008 by apple-b215

Bedroom FurnitureOne of my dreams is to be able to make enough moolah to give our bedroom an air of romance. Not that we don’t have enough romance going on, but I just think it would be nice to come home to comfortable yet classy bedroom furniture.

The house we live in was built in the late 60s, so I suppose modern bedroom furniture is out of the question. I prefer rounded edges and soft cushions and foam mattress and covers that can be removed, washed and replaced. I like cushions on chairs and sofas and even on the floor, although the dust pit where we live in keeps me from going all out on the fluffy stuff.

Contemporary bedroom furniture seems to be the answer, if only I’d be able to find pieces that will blend in with the high ceilings and the wide windows of the inner sanctum which we call our retreat.

Now if only finances weren’t an issue….should Cindy care enough to vote for a presidential hero for a false pretense or a sign of hope and sigh of relief when matters most?

stupidity

May 18th, 2008 by apple-b215

Just tonight, i got upset again, because of him….how am i supposed to know what he wants me to cook.  Now he is saying "I don’t cook" even if I already did!  He doesn’t like to eat my cooking.  He’d rather eat hot dog than my gourmet cooking.  Its his loss.  Sometimes, I will try from now on to just cook for my kids and let him fix his own food…hehehehe :)  I will not worry about it.  He is being a jerk….and I will not be a fool for something so stupid.  God! I really want to learn Ju jit su or some form of martial arts right now to kinda kick someone’s ass :)

You know, sometimes i wonder, if ever i married a pinoy, i won’t have to go through this ;) there’s more understanding and less bickering over nothing.  Gi ingnan ko sa mama ko na pukpukin nako ang ulo nang mister nako para naman naay common sense.  Anyways, I remain loyal and a martyr but, it takes a simple "cheat" then I’m gone for good.  Part of being Cindy…..who is I believe he knows im irreplacable….lol! definitely.  Who would put up with his shit! I mean not just one shit…..a whole lotta bullshit! lmao!!! 

Sounds complicating?  Not really, I thank the internet and music to keep me sane and at peace.  Dili ni Jerry Springer moment…hehehe….That reminds me, i need to check I meem, i haven’t been there in a while.  I have to work tonight. 

May 6th, 2008 by apple-b215

FYI: Normally I don’t curse, part of Cindy who like to stay a little sensible and sane yet, open-minded at the same time. 

Damn, about a couple of days ago, I had a dream….I dreamed about The Rock! you know, ….."Can you smell Cindy’s panties?," ooooohhhh wait! lol! it’s like…"Can you smell what the Rock is cookin’?"….. for those who somehow watched or took a glimpse of the Wrestling Federation shit, u know what im talkin about.  He was holding me from behind, kind of like had his arms around me from behind?  OMG! it was such a turn-on!  He stroked my fingers and arms and kissed my neck.  We french kissed awhile. I can feel his warm hands rubbing my ass and he grabbed it really hard! while he took my pants off and my top….He gently layed me on the soft master bed!….Daaaaammmmmmnnnnnn! He went all the way to my tits and i can feel it! oh! shit…..it was so arousing that all of a sudden i hear someone saying….wake up!……………………Fuuuuuck!……………

I was so pissed! Alex had woken me up and i was like…"Why’d u wake me up?!? We had to go out of town.  Oh well, I am not a fan of The Rock and I don’t even fantasize about him.  However, he was pretty hot in the movie "Walking Tall"….I wanted to be that girl in his peep show….hahaha.  I know I’ve done some in real life….hubby’s choice at home lol!…..still freaky after all these years! hahaha!……………sssssshhhhh.  Anyways, I have to admit, I looked for the cd were he is on it and watched "The Rundown"….Scorpion King….pffffft! he was ugly.  I told Alex about it, he was like….uhhhhuhhh, that’s ur boyfriend….lol!….jealous.  HaHaHa…i guess i was wrong about me not having to put personal and rather intimate stuff on my blog…..i just hav to put it in here so i can remember, maybe i would try to figure out my outrageous subconscious visions.  I don’t know, I’ll be lookin into Sigmund Freud :)
