ODDS AND ENDS

last sunday, my parents celebrated their 69th wedding anniversary at their senior's apt. rec. room. most of the grandchildren were there except tim and lou who happens to be in barbados for their long anticipated honeymoon. everybody brought dishes that everybody could partake.

poleng prepared her specialty "kare-kare" and "bopis" which was cooked one very spicy and a regular. i was able to take some home and that was my dinner the next day.

during the party, the siblings had a discussion re the situation facing mom and dad about their apt. which as of writing is being fumelgated every 10 days for bed bugs which is rampant on seniors home not only in the city but as far as ottawa. it was agreed that the siblings will take turns in looking after mom for one week. dad is staying foot at my sister nita's place while mom will be moving from one house to another until their apt is out of bugs and livable.

my godson christopher, who works at future shop, bought me a discounted computer tower for $200 which include keyboard and a mouse. the hard drive has 360gb and the memory has 3072mb. i really don't know much about computer but when i told my teacher "tracy" the price and size of the hard drive, she too said it was a good buy.

computer is just like a car, every year there is always a new upgraded model. mind you, my old computer still works but you have to wait for about 15 minutes before it warms up and takes command what you want him to do. it is just like a guy i know that he needs his first shot of caffeine before anything else in the morning or else he will be in the mood like a woman with her monthly visit.

on the sad note, i wish my friend who is currently admitted at north york hospital pull through and recover from his present condition. may the healing grace of our Almighty God shines upon him.
