Spent the day surfing the net, sleeping, visiting relatives, and watching my uncle make a fool out of himself as he attempted to fly a kite. (Imagine, it was his first time to fly a kite -- and at his age! XD)

Oh yeah, and there was a Nemo!kite in the same field where my uncle flew the kite. 'Twas muy cute, but I think it was too heavy, or the string was too short, and it kept falling down. XD

Just because I have nothing else to do...
