Life Update

It has occurred to me that my poor neglected Multiply has not had a single entry for almost two months now. My social calendar, too, does not seem to see much activity these days. It being a Friday night, I have decided to (no, not have a social life but something better!) update my blog!! Nothing exciting to report, really, except that I know my two readers out there are curious about what I've been up to so here goes:
  • I've transferred jobs, which most of you already know. Yeah, no big surprises there being the Touch-and-Go job-hopper Joni that I am. As a result of the new job, I am now very knowledgeable about all things Chinese. Okay, maybe not all. Let's just put it this way: on any given day, I would have read scores and scores of articles on China and whatever current issue is plaguing it. That is not an exaggeration.
  • I've started working out. In a week, I exercise about two or three times before going to work in addition to the two yoga classes that I attend. I like the painfully sweet feeling of sore muscles healing.
  • I joined the Women's Groups march denouncing GMA's leadership in Mendiola on International Women's Day and almost got into an ugly fight with the police. Well, it would have turned ugly if I hadn't controlled myself.
  • I got myself an ipod. I know, I know. That's really quite extravagant of me but sigh. Now I'm trying to find the time to fill in 80gb of memory! Send me songs! TV shows or movies! Whatever! Just send them to me please.
  • I went beaching in Bataan and shopping in Subic with family on Holy Saturday (is that what it's called?). As usual, Baby Iel took the spotlight with her super cute and kikay poses. I'm still waiting for her mom to post the pictures... *hint hint.
  • I got myself a stalker. Not that I intentionally planned to have one but it was, as most things in my life, because of my stupidity that this little episode in my life had to happen. Notice that I used the past tense, hopeful that the fact that he neither called nor texted today means he has given up and I will very soon be able to look back and laugh at this. Details will be given when that time has come when I am already laughing about it. Be patient.
So there. Now give me updates on your lives. I never seem to see anyone anymore.
