I woke up with a throbbing headache. and realized it was already 10 A.M. I don't know if my headache was caused by sleeping too much or less.
So I got up to make myself some coffee, and since the rain was pouring hard, all plans of going out to my grandmother's was mentally crossed-out. I transferred some pillows to the living room, brought my blanket with me and snuggled comfortably as I put on the Barbra Streisand 1994 concert on DVD.
The preparations were shown first, and then some people were interviewed, and their enthusiasm was just contagious, I felt the excitement in me to see Barbra grew.
And when she finally walked on stage, with the accompaniment of "The Way We Were" being played by the orchestra, I wanted to cry! She was really quite a vision...
So I just stayed there, laughing with her, smiling as she sang familiar songs. I suddenly found myself hugging the DVD cover.
I was giggling as she told her story when she first fell in love with Marlon Brando! I am that mababaw...
I wish I have more movies though, coz I've seen all I have, some more than twice. I'm starting to read a book to kill boredom! And that's really saying something...
The latest entries I've seen from other blogs were way back 2011!
And I speak for myself when I say --I blame Facebook!
Anyway I was thinking of what I have not blogged about since my hiatus, and there were some few significant events. I actually posted them in Posterous --which now just says Good night, Posterous! I was not even given the chance to back-up my files!
So I will be stating a few:
July 14, 2012. My grandparents celebrated their 52nd Wedding Anniversary!
August 3, 2012. My Lolo/Tatay passed away. My grandmother's been sad and sickly since then.
August 13, 2012. My monster mom, who fondly calls me her princess and was sorry she did not adopt me when I was younger, passed away too. This photo was taken in 2010.
I also had a puppy! His name was HAPPY. Sadly, he passed away too.
So, basically, I remembered only the sad events. It's not that nothing GOOD happened, maybe they're just not that significant. ^_^
I checked my DRAFT and saw some unpublished posts. So I published those which I think would be nice, and permanently deleted those which --I don't know, gives me creeps?
This one, I'm note sure what to do with it. A survey of some sort from a certain blogger named Kurash.
SO I decided to answer it and do some mental comparison of what and how I answered each question in 2008.
That was a good 5 years.

(same sentiment 5 years after ^_^)
Yes, I am ready to BL❤G again!
And since POSTEROUS closed their site, and I've really been wanting to blog again, which better site to use than blogger? :)
But I had to change my blog name since I find the previous one so lame (kristellerain.blogspot.com) Anyway I've had that since June 6, 2005, I think.
I also don't want the rain anymore, so I'm recycling my Posterous site name.
It appeals better to me.
I am so back. =)
