It’s always great to visit EK, but on a holiday season, you might spend hours waiting in-line for each ride as there are lots of people during holiday. It’s alright anyway, kids had fun.

Out passed 1 a.m. from EK, heavy meals in a fast food along SLEX by 2 a.m. and home by 4 a.m.

Salamuch (sala-much)
Salamat in Filipino is the way of saying “thank you”, and I mixed it up with “thank you so much”, so it goes …

For those who greet thru IM, wall posts, SMS and email, family and friends, thank you! And those who personally did, thanks again! For my baby, I love you so much, and so grateful spending it with you this year and the pasts, thank you so much!

Uh-oh, another year in the 30′s! Merry Christmas everyone!

Christmas is, of course, the time to be home – in heart as well as body

And so I did.

If you received one of these scam messages, just call your network provider. I found out they already warned the user, now his line is for disconnection.

Just right after our dinner, I’m here again in front of my PC. Something took me off what I’m supposed to do. I got a new comment on my blog saying:

to: Admin – If You want to delete your site from my spam list, please visit this site for instructions …

Hellooooo!! Is that a threat?

Anyway, I didn’t install anti-spam plugin on my wordpress blog, they’re not too damaging. I just let them there awaiting for approval, or if I have time, delete them permanently. And sometimes, you can tell just by looking at the comment that the submission was not automated, a person spent time typing-in those comment templates, and if they’re not too bad, I approve it. The quoted comment above too, probably, but I got scared LOL!
