One Article A Day

I started blogging without knowing I can meet friends at the blogniverse, and much more, finding godmothers for my only girl. Last year was when a fellow mommy (a work at home mom) lured me into starting my own blog (thanks a lot Kaye, if ever I go insane for handling a lot of blogs, it’s YOUR fault..LOL) and so so.. I blog, visit other’s blog, meet gay people like me and formed the “she bloggers”. Basically a mommy blogger’s “club” or time where we all mommy bloggers, take a day off on being a blogger and a mom and have a date (dutch treat). And so from those meets up and Yahoo messages, the MARCE CLUB evolve.

The blogniverse is our witness. The first one to know that I am having a baby girl at last. And the MARCE CLUB are the people who were as delighted and ecstatic as I am with Sati’s arrival. Now that we are officially kumares (upon Sati’s baptismal last Sunday), I want to learn more about my kumares. See the MARCE CLUB widget on my sidebar? Yes, they are the pretty ninangs of my pretty Sati. It’s a link of their sites.

The best way to learn more about them is, of course, reading through their entries. That is why their sites are displayed on my sidebars. I will try hard to read one article per day from their site (with comments of course). I really want to know my Kumares as I believe that these are the people that would attend to my daughter in case I cannot. These are the people that I can trust to take care of Sati. I hope I can live up to this an article a day rule.

OK, I know you’re itching to know and that you won’t really look on my sidebar.. so here it is.. here are the Marce Club:

Kaye of Random WAHM Thoughts
Niko of Niko’s Blog
Jade of Momma Wannabe
Seiko of Seiko’s Diary
Gene of Her and History
Liz of This is My Life
Yami of Pen, Paper, Pan
Mye of Blog Appetite
Kikamz of Just About Anything
Chris of The Mommy Journey

In case you are wondering why I did not include Fedhz of Home Buddies on the list here while she was on the list on the sidebar.. she was actually not Sati’s ninang but Chico’s but since we just sooo love her, she is one of the Marce club too 🙂

Cool Hand Luke

My sisters are all here to spend the holidays with us. They surprised me a lot of movies stored in my brother in law’s laptop. I am not a movie buff but I was really surprised that were able to download movies in HD quality. I was able to watch a lot of movies the past few days( amidst being busy cooking, I multitask). One of the movies I watched was STING, an old movie of Paul Newman. It was a movie about double crossing, about being conned and revenge. It was one of the coolest movie I have seen. Movies like Ocean’s 11 and the likes won’t stand up against STING.

Now a friend told me another Paul Newman movie, the Cool Hand Luke movie. A movie about Luke and his never ending search for freedom. Watch the original trailer of the movie below:

This movie was legendary. It may seem ordinary at first but the way Luke lived his life unmasked the reality of the society. Luke was never a leader but the way he was made him a role model to everyone. It was not what he wants of course, he just wants to live and to be free.

I Can’t Help But Blog About It!

Sorry I can’t help it. I told Fedhz, Niko, Kaye, Yami and Joana that I would be sleeping right after they leave. But I am just dying from embarrassment, gratefulness and happiness that I can’t help but blog about it. Before anything else, in case you are wondering why they were here a while ago… it’s Sati’s christening today.. and though not all of her godmother can come (understandable for Gene, Liz Jade, Seiko and Kikz) the presence of the above mentioned (and a very extravagant gift from Seiko) was enough to make me happy. Chris is also Sati’s godmother but she said there was a conflict on her sched (acceptable) but for Mye.. hmm.. I wonder where have you been?!?

wanna guess what came from my kitchen and what came from Sati’s ninang?

And so, the reason why I am embarrassed and grateful at the same time is because Seiko, who lives a thousand miles from us, made us all smile through her extravagant giftss. Thanks to Dondon (the person who brought it here) and of course THANK YOU SO MUCH MARENG SEIKO. I told you guys before that I am not used to receiving gifts. I am more of a giver, but I think I have to get used to it LOL. Seiko is one of the most sensible person I know. She really knows how to give something that will be of good use. Truly, I am very embarrassed. (sana mare sinabi mo para di na ako nagluto hehe)

I am very happy because finally, me and KAYE met. We have been talking on the net for a year now and today is our first time to see each other. As expected, Fedhz did all the talking, just like how we are on YM. I am so, so happy that I found this guys on the net. And Niko brought her lovely daughter Yena (who entertained us with her Bahay Kubo). Since Fedhz and Kaye did not bring their kids with them, it was decided to have another meet up(here in my house). I really wanna see Kaye’s piglet. I just hope Yami’s daughter was not tainted by our “harsh” talks.

Sorry I didn’t got to take a lot of shots. We are too busy chatting.. and now I can finally sleep. My eyes are betraying me already( I started cooking at 3 int he morning).. nighty!
