Social networking

Getting into the social network, Facebook, since early 2008 has changed the information I get from the internet.  Now, the information is not just broad and immense, but has become personalized.

So much so that there are so many "nice to know" things and goings-on in other people's lives (mostly friends and acquaintances) that my community has gone completely changed and different.

It used to be that to know about these things and events in other people's lives, one will write either a letter to be dropped off at the post office or write an email for a faster reply.  However, not all the people you are friends with, much less acquainted with, would be that close to me that I would be comfortable asking them such type(s) of question/s.

Sure, there were blogs, but not all do this.  Nor is it easy to update it with a one-liner status or post a picture.

It is just so much easier on that networking.

Plane ride

Finally - after 3 months of non-activity in this blog, am uploading some more pictures.
My camera went kaput during the Christmas break, thus the absence of pictures in our lives for the whole month of January and for the most part of February.

Here are some pictures taken with the new camera my hubby bought.
Isco enjoyed his plane ride - his first, according to his memory. Previous flights were taken when he was a wee little bit, thus could not remember most of it.

About to board the plane.

One of the pictures Isco took from the plane.
We wonder what islands are these?!
Definitely this is somewhere in the Visayas.

Christmastime 2008

Merry Christmas and a Happy 2009 New Year! from the Flores family.

dog is still alive

After 10 days of Isco's bite on the face - I am glad to say that the dog is still alive. Altho, we still have 4 more days to go for the full 14 days observation period.

Isco's bite mark has healed nicely and we can barely see it now. It was that scratch of a bite lang...

dog bite

Isco was bitten by a neighbor's dog he was playing with for the first time.
Syempre pa, panic ako and brought him to an animal bite center (which was kilometerssss away - took us 2 hours to get there) for the necessary shots.

Here, the nurse is preparing the drugs.

Skin tests were done for ATS(anti tetanus serum) and ERIG (equine rabies immunoglobulin G) and we waited for 30 minutes for any reaction - there was none, before the full doses were given.

The empty vial of the ERIG.
This set us back 7,500 Philippine pesos.
