Cruising Along
I know I haven’t been updating my blog lately. I just don’t have the energy to do it. Everything’s pretty much the same anyway. Last time Luci and I were both off, though, we went to the mall. And looky what we found. Dani has her own ride. Doesn’t she look cute?
Anyway, just wanted to let y’all know I’m around, alive and kicking. :)

“Living The Dream”
As I was going up the elevator to the second floor where I work, I had a little how-dee-do with one of my co-workers:
Him: “Hi, how are ya?”
Me: “I’m good. How about you?”
Him: “Oh, just living the dream.”
Living the dream? I asked him what his dream was, and he said vaguely that the dream is what you make it. That made me wonder, as we walked out the elevator and I went to my work area. Hm, what is my dream?
I guess I would say, being happy. But that would be vague, right? It could be anything and maybe everything you can think of. If I would be more specific, I would say this:
Seeing my daughter’s eyes light up as I walk in the door.
A butterfly kiss.
A hug.
A simple touch on my hand, just telling me that he’s there.
Laughter.
A call from a long-lost friend.
Picture-taking with loved ones.
A stroll around the neighborhood.
Saying hi.
A smile.
Giggling so much you can’t stop.
Staying healthy.
There is so much more to “living the dream”. How do you live yours?

Things I Learned About MMORPGs
MMORPG = massively (or massive) multiplayer online role-playing game
-- Saying “bathroom break” is taboo now when you want to go to the bathroom. It’s more polite to say “bio break”. Seriously, people.
-- “mt” means “mistell”, otherwise known as “oops, I said the wrong thing on the wrong chat channel”. I honestly thought “mt” was meant for “mountain” for a while. I kept asking “what mt?” or “what mountain?”. I feel dumb.
-- Don’t talk about your personal life in OOC (out of character) chat, or you’ll be bombarded with hate mail, hate tells (whispers) or just be plain ridiculed. Forever.
-- Don’t be an ass in OOC either. You’ll share the same fate.
-- “nm” is not plainly known as “never mind” anymore. It now means “not much”. Use “nvm” for “never mind”.
-- RP (role-playing) and OOC don’t mix. Don’t even try.
-- “gtg” is now known as “good to go” not “got to go”. Sigh.
Honestly, how do people remember this stuff?

Happy New Year!
Happy New Year! Wait, I’m waaaay overdue for that. Hahahaha! I haven’t been updating my blog in so long. Maybe because taking care of the baby is sooo much fun and I just don’t have time to dabble in here.
Dani’s growing in leaps and bounds and I do mean literally, even though not physically. She’s still petite (about the size of a 3-month old) but oh, how she is so makulit (I couldn’t find an exact English translation for this, but let’s just say she is very energetic)! She will be 9 months on Feb. 7th and she’s crawling all over the place. She still has two teeth at the bottom, nothing else growing yet, but she is putting everything (if I let her!) in her mouth. She loves to stand whenever she can - with support, of course - and will try to stand on her own when she can. She’ll be walking soon, I think (I hope!).
I’m wondering how I’m going to do Dani’s first birthday, though. Any suggestions from veterans out there? I would appreciate it. One idea I had was to go to do a family barbecue or something, but any other suggestion is welcome.
In other stuff, I’ve been playing a closed beta game: Lord of the Rings Online. Very cool game, since it follows the storyline of the actual LotR books. I can’t tell you more about it, since it’s still a bit secret and what-not. There are a lot of gamers there, though, that played World of Warcraft, Star Wars Galaxies, and Asheron’s Call. I would say I’m not one of those gamers, since I try to stay away from 3D games (they make me dizzy). But this is one I really like, since it goes with the books.
I’ll be sure to update again soon. I have to try to get to sleep - it’s almost 4:30AM!
Love you all.
