The Curse That Is EVE!

This is bad! I woke up with a very a bad sore throat and barely breathing nostrils. I had a long list for my to dos today... much more so accomplishing lots of things before 2009 comes. More like my personal superstitions to have everything immaculate in the house which I guess will never happen. Good luck with the sniffles and the sneezing!

Oh the warming liquid Theraflu helped. It felt magical after sipping this tiny cup of wonder. I feel alive because I was able to breathe. But now my nose is dripping involuntarily. Eew! How am I going to manage myself in the kitchen? I have prepared a menu too! Nobody and nothing should ruin my eve plans.

And the curse that is called eve jitters. Last Christmas I planned for our family to attend mass at nine in the evening and I prepare a Filipiniana feast! Tough luck! Just as we are about to get ready for mass I was frequenting the toilet more often than required and whimpering because of stomach pains. GRRRRRRRRRRR! At least we had sinigang and lechon kawali for dinner, maja blanca and bico. But really I wanted to make bam-i and banana cue... sagdi nalang!

Now, I want to get going but I am tired. Theraflu knocked me out. So pardon the gibberish and lousy excuse for a blog. I will sleep for a couple hours and once I wake up I will do all these:

• CLEAN the kitchen, I know.... I always need to clean it! SIGH!
• marinate the ham and chicken, hopefully the frozen bird will thaw in time
• tidy the sala -- dust, mop, and whatnot
• finish the laundry room -- I almost there, hopefully 2009 will be a better battleground for me and this chore!
• fix my tiny office nook...
• all I can think about is clean some more! ENOUGH of that.
• contemplate on whether to make special cupcakes for the little one or not, we'll see

Okay, that should be more than enough! Happy New Year everyone!!!!!!
