Hope the sun will still be up until 8PM! I need to get my tan back!
Qingdao Bathing Beach #1
Friends in touch... are treasured so much
Some of you might have been to my new website because of the update mails I sent last weekend. Few maybe because of the new picture card that I have given you LOL. Thank you so much for the visit! Don't forget to support my site by clicking on some of the ADS!
Black Eyed... Peace!
When I woke up the next day, as I was going to the toilet to pee, I chanced upon myself in a mirror. I told you, I freaked out! Woke Marl up, who was having high fever, and showed him my black eye!!!
FYI, this is the 5th time that I got a black eye. First time was when I was around 9 years old and got hit by a tennis ball thrown to me by a playmate (who got a big-time scolding from my mom).
Second, was in highschool when I was hit by a softball while trying to catch it. Which got the attention of our male P.E. teacher! Hahaha! Yeah and he took care of my eye. Tsk tsk! Hahaha!
Third, fourth and fifth were caused by my damn knee. I'M TOO FLEXIBLE, haven't you thought about it
Lesson learned: Don't get too carried away! Kids, don't try to be too flexible at home! LOL
New tenants
The orange house at BF Homes Talisay in Cebu will be repainted as requested by our new foreign tenant from the States.
Our condo unit at the California Garden Square in Mandaluyong will be rented out to a family whose father/husband works in overseas as well.
Both contracts are a year long. So I guess we can sit down and relax about passive income til then...
Where the **** is my old blogger?
There must be something wrong with my coding?!? Damn!
*still working on the codes... sorry*

Memories...
Oops!
Still working on the videos, audios, and photos. I'm freakin' excited about it! Yeyyyy!
Jboy's day
On one incident, I tripped over a small cushion chair & knocked my front leg on it. Now I have a big bruise on my left leg near my ankle. Tsk tsk...
Happy Birthday JBoy!!!
Watta 4th of July!
This year, somehow, I only knew about it when a cake was brought out to our American friends last night. I even stupidly read out loud "Happy Birthday, America"... then asked... "America?". Stupid! Hahaha!
But I don't think that accounted for a great party last night. In fact, there's a real American bar in Qingdao which might have had its own party, too. But judging by the number of regular faces and new faces, Q Bar was definitely having a blast last night. Yes, there were lots of foreigners from all over the world. It was one of the great parties we've had. URB certainly proved that we can handle a big party crowd!
Reason why we moved around
Okay, the reason we moved quite a few times - 3 times to be exact - was because of the ongoing renovation with some of the units that Shangri-La owns at Eldo Gardens.
Our first unit in Building 5 was already okay for us. Until the renovation started on the floor above us. We couldn't sleep at all since we all sleep at daytime. They transferred us to
Our second unit in Building 3 was the semi-luxurious living that we pretty much prefer. Squeaky clean, new furnitures, shiny flooring, and an outstanding view of the shoreline. But we were told we wouldn't be staying there for long since it was meant for a higher ranking employee or manager of the hotel. Our former Resident Manager used to live there a day before we moved in. So I can't say "not bad", because the unit is really nice.
But since they need the 1st unit to be occupied by someone who might be working at daytime, they needed the unit to be vacated. And since we won't be staying in the 2nd unit for long, they managed to find us the 3rd semi-permanent unit. Semi-permanent because we only got 3 more months to go in Qingdao. LOL.
3rd unit in Building 4 is quite congested because of the big furnitures we actually don't need. Also, a 4th person was asked to join us - the new Filipina singer at the lobby who sings with Nick, the Chinese pianist.
We're not really happy about it since the rooms are quite small, ie. just enough for a bed, a side table and half-a-meter width of space around the bed. The toilet & bath in the master's bedroom is even spacious than the room itself! Usually, Marl uses the 3rd room for a home/office/sound room, where we also put the big luggages that we have. Now that the 3rd room is occupied by Lisa, the lobby singer, we are left with no choice but cram them all up in the master's bedroom, using all the floor space around the bed.
I heard that Lisa will be moved to another apartment soon. She's a nice girl and if the flat was just bigger, we wouln't really mind her joining us. But... you know...
I just hope this move will be the last one. Hope no problem will arise. We don't want to try and live in all the buildings of Silver Garden!!!
Bon voyage, GAP Girls!
Victoria, Hannah, Jida and Louise are just normal 18 year old girls who likes to have fun and be fun. They came to Qingdao to teach English classes, along with other kids their age.
I remember when I first approached them, I felt like Lindsay Lohan in Mean Girls. Aside from being 10 years their senior, I do admit I got intimidated at first because they are strictly R&B hiphop lovers. But that was 3 months ago. URB scoured and studied songs most to the Qbar patrons' liking - R&B hiphop!
But it was only during their last month that the band finally got close to them. They are really sweethearts once you get to know them.
You're gonna be missed, ladies. Goodluck and hope to see you soon!
