Wow! Sounds like you had on helluva year, huh?! It's funny how the little things in life really do have an impact on you - of course, I'm refering to your discoveries on cheap strawberry milkshakes and U.S. tampons! (BTW, whats the diff with the tampons we got here and the ones you have there?)
Anyhoo, have a great 2005 and a whole lot of fun!
(aka pinayhekmi)
Wow, what an eventful year this has been for you! Many more accomplishments and happy events are sure to come this year. Hopefully, no more car accidents, though. :)
DT--> Believe it or not, they don't sell tampons here! Just very few stores carry it and you're lucky if you chance upon one. Filipinas are still scared of using tampons.
Tintin--> Thanks! I also hope for less car accidents. I hope you have a wonderful 2005 too!
spending valentine's at bellarmine field under the stars must have been so romantic! what a coincidence, am currently thinking of romantic ideas for valentine's this year. will put that on my list. =)
i really loved reading this :) i really enjoyed seeing that there are so many more plus signs than minuses. bottom line is, that's all that counts ;)
PS: thanks for making our meeting part of the events! i'm thrilled and flattered! :)
much love, cat
