hallo

wow, i get to blog more often here than i do back in the phil. so, i've got good news: i have a brand new digital camera already! we got one yesterday at best buy. check it out here [thanks nong, for the link]. yey! hindi na olats ang camera ko!! hehe. now i can proudly parade my camera without getting comments like "o, ba't nag-off agad? ba't ang labo? wala bang zoom 'to? ubos na agad yung memory/battery??" hah. *happy*

today, we went shopping for the first time. we went to Prime Outlets, a 45 minute drive from man.leiya and patrick's place. i wasn't as fascinated with Polo [RL] as i was before; maybe the impracticality of buying anything from Polo or anything equally priced has finally sunk in to my brain. i bought a 20 dollar shirt though, not for its brand but for its pretty rainbow colors. hehe. sophia liked it too; she kept on pulling it out of the shopping bag when we got home. there wasn't an old navy store anywhere in that outlet, but there was Aeropostale, which is now my most favorite store. it had a nice beach motif with surfer/beach wear [which i can't imagine wearing here because it's too cold]. and the nice thing was, everything in the store was cheap. i got a nice swimsuit [it was a two piece bikini. and no, i am not wearing it without a top/a pair of shorts. i don't want to get arrested for grave scandal. hehe] for only 5 bucks. i know, it's pretty late to buy swimsuits since summer will be over when i get back home, so i'll probably use it next summer, if ever we go to the beach again. i also got a decent shirt for 2.49. all in all, i was able to spend $30, but it was worth it, since i got 3 shirts, a pair of shorts and a swimsuit. we had to cut our outlet shopping spree short since mama didn't feel so good. we went to the doctor later on for medicine prescription for my mom.

just a note: sophia's sleeping on the bed now. hehe. she's such a cute and smart baby. she would definitely fit the role of sunny baudelaire in the 'a series of unfortunate events' book. they both even have 4 sharp teeth. hehe. i'm tasked right now of watching her while man. leiya and patrick are watching the NBA.

ohio's such a nice and serene place; maybe the filipino term maaliwalas would be more appropriate. it's different from the other states i've been before [wow, as if i've been to a lot. haha!]. there are planes all over, with clumps of trees here and there and country style houses with barns. aliw. also, everything's accessible - malls, hospitals, schools. and they're all made of red brick. hehe. ang babaw ko ba? pero aliw eh. who cares if it's not too commercialized? i'd rather live in a quiet place like this than try to survive the hustle and bustle of crowded new york..

chatting with neil now. HI NEIL! hehe la lang. :D
