Mikaela's Moon

I don't know what happened to my template. I added a new post, and when I republished it, only the links showed up on the left side and the right side was completely blank. No background at all. I republished it several times, and it was still broken. I was 10 mins late for work yesterday. Damn. I decided to use a Blogger template while I go and find a new one. This is the second time it has happened. Apparently, when I use a template for too long, it gives up on me. Sigh. Please bear with the layout. Still trying to fix this.

I miss Blogger. I wish I could access it in the office, where I spend most of my waking hours. I wish the I.T department would have mercy on us bloggers.

I thought that updating my blog using Mutliply would be enough, but I still find Blogger.com easy to use. Sigh.

For those who do not know yet, Raymund and I are now living alone in our house in Kamias, Quezon City. My in-laws moved out last month. At first, it felt weird. I lived with his family for more than a year, so I felt comfy being with his mom and brother. Now the house feels strangely quiet. I'm used to it now, and I find that I have more confidence doing housework when I'm alone. Call me silly, but I'm scared of being criticized. I cook now, and I know my husband is thankful to all the saints out there. Haha! Even my own mom is doubtful that I can cook. I'm surprised at myself too. Didn't know I had it in me.

The only downside of being "alone" is that we don't have much stuff, since the stuff we used to have in the house belonged to my mom in law. We don't have any TV and sofa, but Raymund and I are planning to buy at the end of the month. Plus, we will be having a new house mate, Joel, who will stay in the other bedroom.

It feels great being able to do whatever I want. I mean, I can walk around naked and nobody would see me. Haha! I'm twisted, I know.

Sadly, I have to end this post with an au revoir. I need to cook and get ready for work. Tata for now, and don't forget to check out my Multiply account. God bless everyone.

My husband and I went home last Tuesday and Wednesday to Batangas City. I was glad to be home. I haven't seen my youngest brother since Christmas. Marx is HUGE! He is taller now, but still very chubby. Hehe.

We arrived at around 6pm. We mostly watched tv. I couldn't sleep that night. I was awake until 4:30am. Raymund finally woke me up at 1pm, and had lunch together. Then we went to the mall (SM City Batangas). He bought a leather belt. I bought a small umbrella plus a medicine box. He treated me to halo-halo in Chowking. Yum!

After buying candles, we picked up my mom and then headed off to the Eternal Memorial Gardens. Finally, I was able to visit my neighbor, Francis. I've been thinking about him constantly since he died last Feb 12. It made me feel lighter now that I have visited him. We went to his parent's house, and I hugged his mom. My mom was right; I can also feel their overflowing grief. The only thing that separates our houses is a stone wall, and even with that, I can feel their sadness and grief. I can feel his presence at night. Looking back at his picture 10 years ago, nobody would ever believe that this quiet and shy boy would commit suicide when he turns 19. Tragic indeed.

I pray for you. May you rest in peace.
