Gas up!

Today was the first time that I gassed up my Berting, lol. There I was, relaxed and on my way to school when lo and behold, when I checked the gas indicator, it was blinking!!! May day may day, help, help!! Almost megapanic...hehehe... I was blissful with the knowledge the day before that I could take it to the car shop and then leave it there to be repaired and then put gas in it afterwards. No such thing! There I was at the intersection staring at the indicator. Hmm...I could turn left to the nearest gas station then, but I was in the wrong lane. Or I could continue towards school and see if I could find a close gas station. So, on to the intersection I went to Moorpark and I saw the Valero gas station there. Yehey! Luckily, I had read the owner's manual a few nights before anticipating this great event...hehehe...And the gas station was deserted...yehey! At least if I did something embarrassing, no one was there to witness it. So there I was, getting my card and pressing in the zip code and doing this and that. Opened the fuel door and got the nuzzle. I tried to vainly make it into the hole...hehehe...but could not, so I had to press on the thingy to make it work....oh yeah. It took me awhile and I was starting to worry that the gas would overflow....hehehe...I stopped just in case and then loaded it up again and a few seconds later it was full. Oh yeah. At last the deed is done. My Berting is full of gas and ready to rock and roll...hehehe...So, I put back the nuzzle, got my receipt and drove off to work. And I have the receipt to prove it. Hopefully gas prices won't skyrocket...imagine paying for gas at $3, in pesos that would be??? Hehehe...times about 9....grrr!! Oh well. That's life.
Now my Berting is happy....gas wise. Now on to the repair shop visit. May they restore Berting's lost beauty...hay, sorry Berting nadaut ka ug sayo. Dili jud nako sala...sala sa Instik!!!!!

I miss home!

I've finally caught up despite this and that and had time to watch the news two days in a row. I miss home!!!

I don't know when I'll go home. Maybe next year...hopefully if my visa gets renewed. Or else I won't be able to come back...hehehe...so here's to the summer of 2011, when I'll hopefully go home!

Yeba!

The year that was...

I usually start the year by writing new year's resolutions. I can't remember if I did last year, but I probably did not. I'm still debating whether I should. Maybe I should since pangga sent me an interesting article about keeping new year's resolutions. Hmm....let me think of one thing to do then. After all, baby steps...hehehe...

I'd have to say I will be more organized at home (my room) and at work. Hmm....

But other than that, I would like to look back at how 2009 was. It was a very interesting year. It was the worse of times and the best of times.

I will not dwell on what made it horrible but instead I will think about the one thing that I am very happy about right now is that I have someone whom I am looking forward to spending the rest of my life with. I'm sure 2010 will come and go and 2011 will come...crossing my fingers. And hopefully a very interesting part of my life will begin...
