365 Project
so my friend jessica (cookie) started this 365 project. the whole premise is to take a picture each day of something that is part of your daily life for one year, then hopefully be able to look back and see what happened to the blurs of days that sped by. i got really excited about it -- haven't been excited about anything for a long time. life is so fast here in the US that sometimes i feel like the days blur into weeks, then months, then years. and next thing i know, it's already a new year and i have nothing to show for it. so hopefully this project will do me some good and will also highlight the things that are important to me as well as the mundane day to day life. to all my friends -- it would be so great if you guys can join this project! if you are willing, here are some guidelines:
- take a camera with you everywhere, or if you don't have one, take pictures via your phone
- try to caption the shots, if it's too much work, then maybe just the date and what day it is on your 365
- you can start anytime as long as it's one full year
of course i know there are certain life demands that will preclude me from posting each day. but i will at least take a snapshot of something starting today. let's see how long i can keep this up lol.

you'd hate for the kids to think that you have lost your cool
the pork and beans song is stuck in my head like a broken record. i woke up at 4am because my brain kicked into high gear again and started listing all the things that i'm supposed to do [blogging is not one of them by the way]. i wonder why my brain does that and mark's brain just directs him to sleep. he's blissfully sleeping and snoring away on the couch right now. sigh. sometimes i wish i was him.
anyway, i'm blogging because isang brought up a good point on her blog: i have not written anything on this site for a while. when i was 7 my mom gave me a diary and i would furiously write on that thing about everything and anything remotely exciting that's happening in my 7-year-old life:
dear diary,
today i wore my mint green mini skirt and pink cut off shirt with shoulder pads. my classmates loved my look and asked where i bought my clothes! my mama got them from the okai okai sa bahada. and my crush garie passed me a note in class telling me i looked cute...
lol. this totally dates me -- gotta love my 7 year old fashion sense and my mom's frugality. but the point is, not blogging is like cutting off a part of me that has existed ever since i was that young. i've always liked writing. whether i'm good at it or not is definitely debatable, but then again so is everything else. =P
on grown up things, escrow wasn't so bad until yesterday when we found out that the house we are buying is actually titled as a "condominium unit" ... which is funny because it is not attached to anything at all. not sure why the developers did it that way but i imagine it has something to do with getting speedy permits. then we find out that the damn thing is not HUD approved, which is a requirement for our FHA loan.
Glossary for my friends who don't live in the US:
HUD - housing and urban development
FHA - federal housing administration, FHA loan is a federal assistance mortgage loan in the United States insured by the Federal Housing Administration (synonymous to a Pagibig loan in the Philippines)
we are poor so we have to get an FHA loan since it allows you to put 3% down instead of the hefty 20-30% down that conventional loans require. so yes, instead of closing thursday, we will close next week. but like i told isang, maybe things are happening the way they should. vaughn's party is this sunday so if we close next week, that means i'll have the party out of the way and we can have labor day weekend to move. sometimes i hate being a grown up.
and with that, i leave you with the lyrics to weezer's pork and beans, enjoy:
They say i need some rogaine to put in my hair
Work it out at the gym to fit my underwear
Okaley makes the shades to transform a tool
You'd hate for the kids to think that you've lost your cool
Imma do the things that i wanna do
I ain't got a thing to prove to you
I'll eat my candy with the pork and beans
Excuse my manners if i make a scene
I ain't gonna wear the clothes that you like
I'm fine and dandy with the me inside
One look in the mirror and i'm tickled pink
I don't give a hoot about what you think
everyone likes to dance to a happy song
with a catchy chorus and beat so they can sing along
timbaland knows the way to reach the top of the charts
maybe if i work with him i can perfect the art
Imma do the things that i wanna do
I ain't got a thing to prove to you
I'll eat my candy with the pork and beans
Excuse my manners if i make a scene
I ain't gonna wear the clothes that you like
I'm fine and dandy with the me inside
one look in the mirror and i'm tickled pink
I don't give a hoot about what you think
no, i don't care
