J and I were discussing about major home renovations. I said major because we were thinking of adding a second floor to our house. This will allow us to maximise our view of the hills, in addition to increasing the size of our living, dining and kitchen area (think an extra family room as well as huge cupboards and shelves for storage, but maybe not one of those copper kitchen sinks). I guess the only thing that could prevent us from this happening is our neighbors opposing against our plan. But from the looks of it, I reckon we stand a fair chance at it because we are not really blocking any of their views. we'll see in maybe three years time if this will come into fruition!

Business plans
As we are going home for the Holidays this year, J said that he will endeavour to invest in my grandfather's goat farm, one that he has sort of promised to my grandfather when we last saw him during our trip last year. My Lolo also brought J to see our fish ponds where we raise milkfish and seaweed, and sell to the local market. I'm pretty sure Lolo used to have pond filters when he was raising prawns in the 90's. But I don't think he uses them now. Just the same, the fish and seaweed business also seem to be a worthwhile business venture. We'll all see how everything works out. Hopefully when we all get together in December, J will have decided in what business to invest in.

Fatty
You Are Fat
You are by no means fat, but you are like fat in that you can easily absorb what's around you. You are easily influenced by both the good and bad people in your life. It's important for you to be around people you want to be like. You are a comforting and calming force. Without your presence, people feel unsatisfied. You sometimes have a reputation for being a bad influence, but you're not nearly as dangerous as you seem.
There you go, I'm a fatty (made me want to take the best weight loss supplement just by reading it)! But after reading the "comforting and calm" part, I guess being fat ain't all that bad.

On PCs
I love my laptop because I can go anywhere I want with it in tow. Although desktop computers do keep you tied in one place, I often still find myself liking it because I get to use the mouse and for some other reasons I cannot explain. LOL. We have both types here at home but our desktop CPU sure needs a bit of upgrading. I am wanting those tiny ones that are less bulky and therefore a good space saver. But yes, that will have to wait.

Runner
You Run Through Life
Your journey through life energetic, fast paced, and spontaneous. You like to live for the moment, and you always prefer taking action to sitting still. You crave a lot of freedom in your life. You can feel burdened by too make rules and responsibilities. If you can do things your own way, you're really are able to shine. You are very good at understanding the world.

Baby Talk
Oh, I just remembered a friend of mine who's now in the States is giving birth to their first-born soon. It must be terribly exciting for them! I haven't heard anything yet from her so I suppose she's still not popping out just yet. So I guess her hubby isn't handing out Black and Mild cigars just yet.
I know how anxious and at the same time excited I was back then when I was expecting my little girl. Time flies really as she's a toddler now but I can still remember everything that transpired when I delivered her in the hospital. Ah yes, good memories!
