yesterday was a glorious 74F, now we're back to 20?!? with HAIL/SNOW!?!?
but there you go folks. weather here in lancaster just dropped, no, PLUNGED into the cold front. i'm battling ice falling onto my car, my head, my face (and if it hits you on the right spot, it STINGS!). i'm used to the driving in the snow now, in that i can maneuver properly (i think) when i sense something wrong. thank goodness i still have my snow tires attached (i was thinking of removing them yesterday!).
anyhoo, here's the scoop of what's going on here:
here's what greeted me on the floor...
and on my car's windshield...
looks like snow, but they're ICE! you know, the kind you get when you crush ice.
at 9am, it was still ok. i dunno if you can see/hear this video (and if the video does show up, i dunno if you can actually see them), but hail is falling. i could see them bounce around as they hit my hood.
but at 2pm (sorry, no pic), the land was covered with snow/ice. it was like we were in winter again.

UPDATE: anyway, it looks like i can UPLOAD my own videos! wooohooooo! isn't that exciting?... um, hello?
--------
UPDATE 2: this cold weather... all this indoor activity... makes me want to crave for outdoor stuff... such as...
manong, pabili po ng fishball...
kuya kuya! 3 isaw po! (isaw = pig intestines; it's good! just 'sauce' it right)
ale!!!! naku, ano pangalan nung P5 na burger nyo! basta, yun!!!
(what IS the name of that P5 burger?)

Wednesday, February 28, 2007goodbye february. tomorrow -- hello, march!
i remember back in pinas, i used to look forward to march coz it meant it was near the end of the schoolyear. now, i'm STILL going to be in my current college semester, and will be for a good 2 more months yet...
but anyway... i was wondering how to spruce up my blog (well, ye, aside from the layout. i'll get to that next week). i mean, even I MYSELF am bored (gasp!).
let's see, i would love to talk about places to go to in lancaster (shop, dine, etc).. i lack the dough to do anything substantial (like show some good food to eat), but does a girl really need that when she can always just take pics instead? ....hmm ... and then there are websites i normally visit... (mostly manga.. and fashion.. i actually contemplated taking pics of my wardrobe, but i wondered, "am i THAT confident to even take pics of me wearing my clothes???").
hmm... well, i figure i at least owe you guys something.
anyway, let's start... with a look at the house i live in! (well, not for long!)
the house on the left is where i currently stay in. that window near the satellite dish is the one for my room. my uncle took this pic actually, because he had to show some evidence that DirectTV wasn't working... or something like that. soooo, it's a townhouse, pretty well kept (sorry, no inside pics, i have to give some privacy to my relatives). aaah, i shall miss it.
next up, my school!
a lousy side pic, i know. so here's a lousier one! :P
*pic from hacc website*
this is the main building, where i had most of my classes. it's pretty.. decent. but i definitely want more TREES in this place... and more stylish people (i'm beginning to like fashion a weeee bit too much).
i'll do more inside shots of my school later, but here's some that i dug up. below is the library, the one place i originally applied as a student worker. well, i figured, it's got books, i love books...
but my friend julie (asian girl pictured below) was right when she told me i didn't fit there (for one, i'm NOISY. can't count the many times the librarian shhhh-d me for laughing so hard). thank goodness i worked at the learning center instead, coz i got to hang out with an incredibly cool bunch of people. who love sushi.
and dogs (this here is coco, julie's pet chihuahua).
DAAAANG! that's a horrible pic of me (the hair! the clothes! -- and here i'm thinking of taking pics of my wardrobe!!! hahaha! --- and the unplucked eyebrows! thea's salon friend will be chasing me for them!!!).
but the dog is cute, donchatinkso? :P
and, of course, we at the learning center (TLC!) enjoy each other's company. it doesn't get any better than that. i'll try to upload more pics later on to give u guys an idea of what my workplace looks like.
-----
here's my bed:
hah! i WISH!
but really, i do wish i had this bed. the entire house can look crappy, but imagine yourself going to sleep in THIS! maaaaaaaannn........
*got this pic from stylehive, one of the sites i go to. AMAZING stylish pieces, includes home furniture, like what u see above.
-----
so there you have it. hope you guys are happy (well, i am, hehe). i guess i'll stick to talking about lancaster stuff and some fancy smancy wishlist of items that i have my eye on. i don't know why i wanna post on the latter, but i thought u guys would enjoy looking at them as much as i do :)
oh, and i got an A in my exam (phew). now pulled my average grade to a decent B.
