Me, just the same, alive and kicking pa rin! Joke lang. The same old story pa rin, same routine everyday except for the weather...grrrrr!

We are now in our fall and starting to put on more clothes and soon we will be bundling with lots of stuff......sign of old age na talaga...ha..ha..ha...to be with snow...my god! i wish nasa pinas ako during the minus negative 40 to 50 degrees... then ang snow halos knee length or more....plus the windchilled....ha..ha..ha.. reklamador ang kabatch nyo... for sure pag gurang na talaga, i will be one of those snow birds.

Anyway...nice to see you all sa ating blog.
