Feel free to answer a few of the questions below... 1. [/i]What is the Book you just finished reading?[i] I just finished Eclipse of the Twilight Series and is about to start with Breaking Dawn... 2. [/i]What is the mOst recent movie you watched?[i] Mine is X-Men Origins-Wolverine... i love all the action... but not that crazy about the story... too many characters... 3. [/i]What did you recently buy for yourself?[i] It was my birthday a few weeks ago... so i decided to shop with my daughter... it helped that my sister sent $100 shopping money... not much but enough to buy pretty things for me and my daughter... 4. [/i]Is there anything new at work?[i] Mine is still same o same o... somthing boring and sometimes busy... 5. [/i]What are you saving up for?[i] My three year old daughter is requesting a trip to Hong Kong Disneyland... so i am saving up for that... but i think we will be able to do that after a year... no hurry... 6. [/i]What TV Series are you currently following?[i] I still watch Friends rerun... and i still laugh at the jokes... Friends is so timeless... This discussion could be divided into three... but since i know each question was already turned into a discussion countless of times... i thought of just cramming them up into one... Hope you have time to share what is going on in you life...

Hi aseretdd, I blush to say that I haven’t finished reading the book Faceless by Martina Cole. I have been reading this book for months. The Snipers was the Chinese movie I had watched in the cinema a couple of weeks back. The story was about two top shooters in the police force. I bought a pair of shoes to replace the old pair, for they were much worn. I took a fancy to a pink color long sleeves t-shirt with white stripes in the front part of it. of course my husband willing to settle the bill. I still love my two part times works as before. It’s really pleasant to meet beautiful people while working in the office. My good friends plan to visit Spain at the end of the year. I try work hard to save enough money for the expenses. It’s rather sad that we might cancel the pending trip, for the swine flu happens recently. I would never miss my favorite detective tv series as well as the latest news every night. Happy posting and have a nice day.

It would depend on how the situation going on by the end of the year. Anyway it’s still 6 months to go before the pending trip. We hope the swine flu disease would over soon and everything will restore as normal again. You are very much welcome and have a nice day.

Happy Belated Birthday! I hope it was really nice. What a nice sister. I haven't bought myself anything recently, unless you count our new home, lol. When we come back from after our summer trip, I will buy some new furnishings, wheee, that will be fun. I would like to get a better input device for online games. Currently when I have time to play I am just using my graphics tablet. Well, that is for work, not play! I don't think your 3 year old would even remember the trip if she goes so young, maybe next year! I have been very very busy and did not have much time for myLot lately. Bummer. Soon it will be time to plant new seeds and start another gardening experiment :-) Oh, not as much as I'd have liked, but I have been blogging, of course, mostly about plants: http://www.drann.us/the_empty_cabinets_of_my_/2009/05/yardwork.html

Although related to edible legume plants, that yellow bird of paradise plant has poisonous seeds, so I would not eat the pods. The leaves are used for some kind of medicine by some, I have heard, but, no, our plants are strictly ornamental.

Hello aseretdd, 1. I can't remember the title of my last book but the only reading that I do is to read some magazines that I subscribed since early of this year like Cleo, Women Weekly and a few more. 2. Oh, I am not up to date in this department - I just watched Friday 13th when I went back to my hometown on Labor Day - quite a thrill movie, full of suspense! 3. I bought a handbag, two pair of high heels and few new clothes for myself 4. As you know, I got a new boss and everything is so wonderful till today 5. I am saving up more for my child, no agenda till now 6. I am an avid fan of CSI. I stay up late on Sunday night to watch it back to back -from 9pm till 12 midnight.

Hi Aseretdd, nice discussion you have posted - I don't know how I could have missed this out earlier. 1. I've just finished Traitor's Purse by Margery Allingham - really good mystery. Old fashioned though. 2. Most recent movie (Dvd) watched is Freddy vs Krueger. Not too bad! 3. Recently I bought a new bag and some books for myself. 4. Nothing new at work. Just came back from an out-of-town teambuilding event for one of my clients. 5. I'm saving up for my old age - hehe! 6. Currently I'm following Bones.

I'm about to be laid off from two full-time jobs and my wife is losing one part-time job and is being forced to quit her other part-time job. We recently moved to a smaller house because we couldn't afford our old home but now we can't sell the bigger home. So two mortgages, one that we couldn't afford and one that we could and now no income to speak of. VERY STRESSFUL!

Sounds like life is not treating you good these days... just take it easy... and if you can... why don't you go for a vacation... or just go out with friends... that will certainly lift the stress of your back... Thanks for the response...

I will have to think of the last book I read, oh it was Reversing Diabetes and that was a while ago. Right now I am busy writing, and I just read a chapter now and again. The most recent movie I watched was Raiders of the Lost Ark, but I missed the part where the Nazis started to screaming as their faces dissolved. (evil laugh) I bought these two large frying pans. Love cooking. Got a Sears gift certificate and my husband and my friends gave me some money for my birthday. Still doing housework, am a homemaker, and we are getting the house renovated. I am saving up for a Macbook Pro the best one. I am a LOST fan.

I can't really remember what book I last read, because I read several at one time. The most recent movie I watched was Mirrors starring Keifer Sutherland. I rented it through Netflix. Pretty good. What did I recently buy for myself? A couple of pictures to hang in my new apartment. I'm not saving up for anything. Every dime I have goes to bills. As for the TV series I'm following - I guess I'm pretty heavily invested in the midseason show The Unusuals on ABC. I watch it online if I miss it on the night it comes on. And yes, Friends is still funny even now.

1. The last book I finished was Narnia series' 4th book :D That's 4 out of 7 and I'm more than half way done the 5th book. 2. I saw Star Trek last Friday :D It was AWESOME. 3. The last thing I bought for myself was Cream Cheese from Pan de Manila :D I love breakfasts and I try to make sure that I get a tasty, filling every breakfast. 4. I'm still working on the same project I've been on for the past couple of months. However, there's always something new since it's a system we're building partially from scratch (it has an old version so the old version somehow served as a good blue print but we're using new technology and stuff so it has to be built from scratch). I'm also working on a small system for my mother. I'm programming a record system for her specific needs :D 5. I'm currently saving up to buy a piece of land. That's a long term plan and I've already attended the Pag-Ibig seminar for the loan I'm getting. Short term plan: buy a new pair of rubber shoes, specifically for cross training because my running shoes aren't so good for Cardio Boxing classes. 6. I'm currently following: CSI Las Vegas, CSI New York, How I Met Your Mother, Lie to Me, House, Heroes :D oh and I think the best thing to share about my life right now is that I have finally incorporated work life with working out life LOL It used to be so hard to work out /exercise because of work schedule, but all is better now :) Thanks for the response on my discussion!
