baked...

i know i know. i'm a slacker. a very bad blogger. these days. my creative juices have just not been flowing so far into 2009 and i haven't known what to blog about. but i guess we don't always have to be creative geniuses to write, right? (ha ha, that was pretty dang funny).

i guess its a combination of not having anything interesting to write about AND facebook. i post pics and let people know what i'm doing on FB so i figure why update my blog? it would just be the same ol' stuff. but i forget that not everyone is on FB and not everyone is on blogs. so i guess its important to cover both technological, networking territories.

i did just get back from a lovely trip to the dominican republic with my two sisters, mickey and ayer. it was in celebrating mickey's 30th birthday and i think we should all have 30th birthdays every year. a shout out to the rhyders, mickey's bosses, who treated us to their time share in puerto plata. we ended up getting a three bedroom/three bathroom house which included our own private pool, maid and cook. yeah, not too shabby.

this was pretty much our daily agenda:

• 9:00 am: wake up for breakfast that was being prepared by our cook.
• 10:00 am: let the food settle by watching episodes of the office or friends
• 11:00 am: go take another nap by the pool or take the golf cart to the VIP beach where they have beds you can sleep on.
• 2:00 pm: remember to wake up to go and eat at the all-you-can-eat buffet at the resort. the food wasn't too good, but if you stuck with the salad and fresh pineapple, you were fine.
• 3:00 pm: let food settle again by going home on your golf cart to watch more episodes of the office or friends.
• 5:00 pm: another nap by the pool
• 7:00 pm: dinner at one of the restaurants on the resort
• 9:00 pm: watch a movie or play three hours of mexican train dominoes and get beat every time by ayer.
• midnight: go to bed to get ready for another big day.

yeah, this pretty much was my schedule for four days. and can you believe that i still need another week to catch up on my sleep and recover from vacation? and i guess its no surprise why i'm almost as dark as mocha and people keep telling me how filipino i look or even better - that i look like the r&b singer Brandy! because we all know that black is the new white and i've always wanted to be white.
