WHY I'VE BEEN M.I.A.

oh poor poor blog!!

I'm so sorry if you feel like I've abandoned you, but I've just been really really busy with a lot of stuff... I promise I'm not slackin, I have some good reasons why I haven't been posting lately.... here's a little update on what I've been up to:
good reason #1 - there's been a lot of out-of-town trips lately
good reason #2 - I've been concentrating on selling my stuff on eBay to make a little bit of money
good reason #3 - I've just been spending time with my kids, Devean being in kindergarten & prepping Deion for preschool
good reason #4 - I'm lookin into going back to school.. I'm actually in the 'trying-to-figure-out-what-I-wanna-do' stage.... so if you have any good ideas on what career path to take, I am open for suggestions, coz clearly, I have no clue!!!
good reason #5 (& the most legit one) - P90X... yes! we are doin it again... this is our second attempt to this hardcore workout program... If you had the chance to read my very first blog post, you would see that it was almost exactly a year ago when we first tried doing the program... but obviously, we failed! we had let lazyness & lack of determination get in the way... but not this time!! I am really stickin to it... I really really wanna get fit & I admit, it's long been overdue... my youngest is turning 4 this year, I don't have an excuse to have a gut anymore... LOL... I decided to ask the manfriend to do it with me... then we happened to mention it to our friends & they were so interested... so we all decided to do it together, believing that if we push each other, we would make it to the end... we are by the way on our second week... BRING IT!!!

so as you can see, I've been really busy... will you forgive me?! I promise I'll try to make it up to you...

Love,
your Master

TRIP TO WA STATE

since Davi had 2 weeks of vacation from work & Devean 1 month from school, we decided to drive up North to spend Christmas & New Year with family...

talk about being comfortable.... everything I need next to me, plus my iPhone 2G on my lap(not pictured)

baby Daddy took the first shift... he drove 11 hours & 5 hours for me.. fair share eh?!?


this was somewhere in Oregon (Eugene maybe!)... I took a snapshot of this view coz it was just too pretty... I was amazed given the fact that I've never seen snow before..... I was driving while I was taking pictures of the scenery, Davi was like "Babe, seriously!!! just drive! we have the kids in the car".. LOL 
after 3 gas stops; 8 Pixar/Dreamworks/Disney movies, 4 Starbucks bottled frappuccino, 10X repeat of The Blueprint 3 CD; about a hundred "are we there yet?"s; 16 & a half hour drive -- Seattle....


we left on the 25th of December, Christmas day & got there on the 26th, just in time for the manfriend's family's Christmas 'pyjama party'....

my kids clearly did not get the memo, RE: pajama attire.. LOL...

neither did we, until later... we coulda got some cute ass PJs like Christine's... =)


they took us to Steven's Pass (in Skykomish, WA) the next day so the kids can play on the snow...

I've never seen the temperature display on the rearview mirror of our car do that... that's crazy!!! hahaha... sorry! but no snow in central Cali, atleast not in my errryah...
North + ICE = NAHHYYYYYYS!!! (as said by Borat)

two little people all excited to see snow for the first time...

same picture??? spot the difference!! LOL
