Bit e pezzi di vita mia... scritto.

2010-09-13T15:49:00.002+08:00

Here I go again… getting excited for something that’s happening - late next month! But still, my excitement builds up coz I’m seeing the Hitman – David Foster & Friends! Got the tickets!

Alone

2010-08-18T21:18:00.001+08:00

I never really noticed how nice this song was until I saw and heard a version of it splendidly rendered by Will Schuester and April Rhodes in the Season 1 of the dramedy, Glee.

Then it all came back to me. That feeling. That long lost feeling of longing for a person who could only be a friend… forever.

Alone

I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
Alone

Refrain:

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

You don't know how long I have wanted
To touch your lips and hold you tight, oh
You don't know how long I have waited
And I was going to tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
And my love for you is still unknown
Alone

Refrain:

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

CATS Now and forever... finally!

2010-07-18T06:01:00.005+08:00

I'm now excited!

Yanni

2009-10-15T14:57:00.000+08:00

While acroyali was playing on my phone this morning, my greek friend asked me if i liked Yanni and I answered yes. When the music ended, he asked me if I have any other Yanni song and I said I only got acroyali at the moment...

Come to think of it... some years back when hubby used to live in the dorm he had a Yanni CD. Never saw it since then. So I asked him about it at lunch time.

"I don't know, I think I gave it away". Sayang.

And then he said we'll just get Yanni's latest album in the weekend. Yay!

Delubyo!

2009-09-28T09:14:00.000+08:00

It was bound to happen.

Siksikan na ang mga tao sa Maynila. Pati mga buildings parang sardinas, halos magkakadikit. Ang mga ilog, puro basura. Ang mga drainages puro clogged ng basura, karamihan plastics. Ang daanan puro sementado. Halos wala ng lupa na pwedeng sumipsip ng tubig-ulan. Ang mga puno pinagpuputol to give way to residential needs. Pinabayaan natin.

Lesson learned.

Tulungan po natin sila. Even in our own little way, let us help our kababayans who are most affected by this current disaster in our midst.

The teen is now a lady

2009-09-10T21:05:00.003+08:00

My niece, Colleen Abigail turned 18 today. Since we won't be on her party on Saturday, we decided to take her to dinner after her class. While waiting for the food, we gave her her gifts: a digital videocam from Glenn, Anne Klein watch, belt, earrings and an imported lotion from me, and of course, her cash gift.
Happy 18th birthday Colleen! We love you!

Happy 09-09-09 everyone!

2009-09-09T02:16:00.001+08:00

9-9-9 will be the last of the single digit date, the next one will be after about 1000 years. Yup, quite some time it'll be, folks. Maybe it will be great if we celebrate and do something memorable on this day. Or list down nine goals or do nine nice things or simply think of nine things that we should be really, really thankful for and GIVE THANKS.

Oh well, happy birthday to all you niners out there! May all your good wishes come true!

Twitter is nice...

2009-08-29T14:17:00.000+08:00

but I cant keep up with so much twits at a time.

I do see most of my freinds' twits in Plurk too, anyway so...

Bye for now

(twitter image from http://blog.writersdigest.com/norules/)

How did it happen?

2009-08-27T02:23:00.000+08:00

I have 3 blogs. I got plurk. A facebook, a friendster and am on twitter too.

I have an official email, a pseudo-official email, and three personal email accounts. Two of them, I hardly use. Hmmnnn...

How did that happen? Now I feel I've so much on my plate already. Gotta spill off some of them... soon.

I have to start somewhere... SOON!!!

Okay, maybe I will start with the blogs.

Good to know you're in a better place now...

Prayer for a Happy Death
By Corazon Aquino

Almighty God, most merciful Father
You alone know the time
You alone know the hour
You alone know the moment
When I shall breathe my last.

So, remind me each day,
most loving Father
To be the best that I can be.
To be humble, to be kind,
To be patient, to be true.
To embrace what is good,
To reject what is evil,
To adore only You.

When the final moment does come
Let not my loved ones grieve for long.
Let them comfort each other
And let them know
how much happiness
They brought into my life.
Let them pray for me,
As I will continue to pray for them,
Hoping that they will always pray
for each other.

Let them know that they made possible
Whatever good I offered to our world.
And let them realize that our separation
Is just for a short while
As we prepare for our reunion in eternity.

Our Father in heaven,
You alone are my hope.
You alone are my salvation.
Thank you for your unconditional love, Amen.

This prayer appeared on July 10, 2009 issue of the Philippine Daily Inquirer.

I love Pepper Lunch!

2009-07-30T06:48:00.002+08:00

I had to travel to rockwell just to get my pepper lunch fix.
Now, my favorite resto is nearer to me. Yay!

Happy birthday Jules!

2009-07-04T06:14:00.008+08:00

Happy Birthday to you!
We hope it's a good one
Are you getting lots of rest?
Are you having fun?

If we were there with you,
And we didn't live so far away,
We could spend the day together
And celebrate your birthday!

So this presentation will have to do
We know you deserve more
You know if we lived closer
We'd be knocking at your door!

And we hope your day is awesome
and you get your birthday wish,
You are someone in our life
that we really, truly miss…

Happy birthday Rico!

Sad...

2009-02-09T12:39:00.000+08:00

One of the 80's top Sensation is dead.

Mike Francis died on Friday, 6 February 2009. Lingering illness. He was one of those International singers that I dreamt of watching perform in Araneta. Sayang naman... Loved his music, especially his song, "Let Me In.

Let me in
with the flowers
don't bring me down
I'm on the ground
Let me in
you got the power
to kill the pain
I'm feelin' deep within

Last night I hurt you so
but 'till the mornin' sun grow cold and rivers flow
I promise you my heart
and we can make love grow
until the moon up high deserts the sky
I know
you'll never face a broken heart
No doubt about it
I wanna win
you back again

Let me in
your darkest hour
just take my hand
and try to understand
I know I hurt you so
and till the seas run dry I'll worship you and more
I promise you my heart
now we can make love grow
until the lovers cease to dream and have no heart
my lovely lady we'll never part

Now we can dance upon the sweetest love refrain
you're my tomorrow and you're my today
now only you can show the way
through fire and rain I'm feelin' pain so much
you're such a part of me I want you back
hey! It's good to see you again

No doubt about it
I wanna win
you back again

Let me in
to feel the fire
let love unfold
my body's wet and cold
I'll never let you go
until the sand rolls in the desert
day by day
I promise you my heart
and we can make love grow
until the day no longer turn the night away
my lovely lady in love I'll stay

Hey! Babe
lead me through the colors of your rainbow now
you gotta understand
you got this shadow hangin' over me
I'm not the man I used to be oh! No
my destiny is in your hands
I know your heart is sad and blue
I'm lonely too
so what's the use it's no excuse oh! No
you got a winnin' hand
so honey come on
Let Me In....

May you rest in peace, Francesco Puccioni.

Pilipino nga naman...

I've seen this ad so many times, more than I can remember. But this is the first time I viewed the whole video, forwarded, rewinded, scrutinized it to my heart's content. Shempre, hindi sya kamukha ni Pres. Obama. Nakakatawa lang talaga, notice how ate glow tried to stop her slide (skateboard?) with her hand! Hahaha!

Kabag.

and so it came to pass...

2009-01-20T04:11:00.002+08:00

Godspeed, US President Barack Obama!

Happy New Year to all my dear friends... and lurkers! :-)

Here's to a good 2009 for us all!

A birthday gift... doubled!

2008-11-15T10:57:00.001+08:00

after hubby paid for my expensive progressive lenses (I've been wanting to get one this year but I always find it too expensive- P10,000+ a pair!) I never really thought that he would still give me another gift on my birthday - a Nokia N95 phone!

Might take me time to learn its features. Just so happy to learn that I can check my emails with it. Cool!

THANK YOU!

Ever heard about the Heart attack Grill?

2008-10-16T12:36:00.003+08:00

Its a restaurant somewhere in Arizona, USA where you will see their waitresses dressed as nurses. And the cholesterol-laden picture below is a menu taken from the website of the said restaurant.

Check out the heart attack burger here and enjoy the music too!

As for the waitresses who dress as nurses, oh well, we all know they're not real nurses but look at the attention they've drawn from everywhere.

Win a handbag!

2008-10-07T13:51:00.013+08:00

Holiday lunch in the balcony

2008-10-01T13:34:00.007+08:00

Eid Ul-Fitr! For the devout Muslims around the world, today marks the end of their month-long fasting. The celebration will run for several days.

1 October 2008 is also a holiday for the rest of us so hubby & I decided to celebrate it (kinda) by having LUNCH IN OUR BALCONY - a first for us, actually. Lunch was grilled tuna panga, stir-fry pechay, onion, jalapeno & tomato salad and of course, lotsa rice!

Tuna panga that we got from S&R last weekend. Thawed then marinated with just calamansi and kikkoman light soy sauce.

Hubby getting the grill ready...

Ihaw-ihaw...

I made some stir-fry veggies to go with the inihaw

Food is ready!

Kainan na!

Sarap!

Ang dessert? Ben & Jerry's Creme brulee Ice Cream!
Grabe, ang sarap nito. Its sweet custard ice cream with smooth caramelized sugar.

Ben & Jerry's is available in S&R, Alabang.

Amboy sings ala Ely...

Ay, sino ga ang batang ire? Katuwa-tuwa naman...

Sadya kaya 'yun?

2008-09-18T13:40:00.003+08:00

Guys, watch this CNN video.
While the reporter was talking about the filing of bankcruptcy of the Lehman brothers, merong dalawang KSP sa likod nya... nakakatawa pero mas nakakatawa yun kung pagkatapos magreport nung guy, tinadyakan nya yung dalawang pranksters.

Charice! Charice! Charice!

2008-09-17T03:30:00.000+08:00

... and now, my most-awaited duet of Charice and the Celine Dion!

Watch it here.

One lucky girl. Really.

Ten Conyomandments

by Gerry Avelino and Arik Abu
(taken from The La Sallian-Menagerie)

Conyo here, conyo there, conyo everywhere! Here at La Salle, conyospeak has become an unofficial language as a good chunk of the student body knows, or maybe even mastered the socialite tongue. However, one must never forget the basics of the conyo and we thusly bring you: The Ten Conyomandments.

ex.
"I don't like to make lakad in the baha nga, no? Eh diba it's like, so eew, diba?"

What my driving says about me...

2008-08-16T07:44:00.005+08:00

Got this Blogthings from my email and tried it...

What Your Driving Says About You

You are a creative, resourceful person. You can easily entertain yourself, and you make the best of any situation.

You are a fairly aware person, but you can't help but make judgment errors from time to time.

You'd like to think you're a fair person, but you occasionally think you deserve a special kind of justice.

You can be a rather tense, grouchy person - but you try to maintain your dignity.

You have mixed feelings about authority figures. You understand their place, but you believe their power needs to be in check.

You are focused and alert. You make sure that you are doing the right thing at all times.

You are a very responsible and conscientious person. You often consider the feelings and needs of others.

Your ego is a healthy size. You don't think you're more important than anyone else.

What Does Your Driving Say About You?

sabi ng phone ko, august 9 ngayon. oo nga. kakapanood ko lang ng replay ng opening ng beijing olympics eh. pero sabi ng calendar sa kitchen, august 8 ngayon...?

kaya pala... grrrr!

KITA MO NA BA KUNG VAKKEEEETTT???

Sino nga ba nagbigay sa akin ng calendar na ito? Hmmmnn... gusto ko syang isoli.

888

2008-08-08T05:41:00.004+08:00

Today is August 8, 2008.
Most believe that today is a special day and that it should be celebrated because it only comes every hundred years.

Marami nagsasabi its the number of infinity and for most people, especially in China, the number 8 is a lucky number.

Kaya naman today, maraming magiging kasalan, opening ng businesses, start ng construction ng mga houses and buildings. Even the Beijing olympics is opening today. Am pretty and sure sold out na this morning ang number na 888 sa three-digit ng lotto. Sige nga, it would be interesting to see if these numbers will come out in tonight's draw. Maswerte daw ang mga babies na isisilang today. Pati yung hindi pa dapat isilang, lalabas na din today sukdulang ma-CS ang mga mommies masabi lang na special ang birthday ng anak nila. Huwag lang sana special child ang anak nila. Sometimes man proposes but God disposes.

Everyone is excited about today. Except the cynics, who believes that "superstition is the religion of feeble minds". Whatever.

But of course for me, at the end of the day when it all boils down, its not really how one celebrated today. What is important is how you start and end the day. Try prayer, friends. No one will ever go wrong with that.

God is good, all the time.

Love knows no boundary

2008-08-05T15:05:00.005+08:00

This must have been an old clip but its the first time I saw it and geez... it made me cry.

Its the uplifting story about Christian, a LION and his two keepers, whom after a year of not seeing Christian, bravely went back to africa to visit him. It was one of the most beautiful reunion I have ever seen.

Now, if anyone out there plans to go on safari, never, never expose yourself this way to any lion (or a tiger). Ikaw din...

Farewell to you, my friend...

2008-07-24T12:51:00.005+08:00

Si ate Yollie. She is a classic.
Cheerful, always smiling, you see her waving to people whenever distance doesn't permit her to chat with them.
She is talkative, a people person.
That is why she is well-known in the workplace.

She's also a cry-baby.
Share with her a sad story and you'll find her already wiping her uncontrollable tears as you go down your details. Very sympathetic.

In the bus, yesterday, on our way to church for her requiem mass Mamu suddenly asked one of the "Ladies" if she can already join their group. Tita Leni jokingly said that it will be hard for Mamu if she is aiming to replace ate Yollie. For one, whenever they have no food, ate Yollie would normally just order food from outside just so there'll be food on the table for everyone.
"Kaya mo ba yun?", she asked Mamu. (laughter in the bus)
"Saka kapag birthday nya, me dala na sya, pagdating ng hapon me dala pa rin si Tony at imbitado pa ang halos everybody. Kaya mo ba yun?" (laughter again)
"Saka si Tony palaging nariyan para sa kanya. Me partner ka ba?" (more laughter...)

Naisip ko, totoo lahat yun. She loved her friends so much she won't mind spending for them. And because her husband loved her so much, he shared her passion.

There were lots of people on her funeral. Some even came all the way from USA. Emails from our common friends abroad rained down on me sending nice words, reminiscing the years they have shared with her. I printed out all those emails and gave it to Tintin, ate Yollie's daughter. Even former colleagues who we never saw for so many years appeared on her funeral. A concrete evidence that she is well-loved.

Ate Yollie had follicular lymphoma, a cancer affecting the immune system, and she just had her 5th (of six) chemo cycle last July 10 at Asian Hospital. BUT, that wasn't the cause of her early death. She had a brain attack instead. Aneurysm. Pumasok pa sya last Monday, 14 July. Then she complained of headache in the afternoon until Tuesday morning. Her oncologist advised that she be given pain reliever. 15 minutes later she started vomiting so the doctor asked them to take her to hospital. In the hospital they found that her heartrate was way too fast so they contacted her cardiologist while they took ECG. She fell asleep and never woke up.

Nakakalungkot nabawasan ako ng kaibigang mabait, malambing, sincere, palabiro, maingay, iyakin, makwento, mahilig kumain, maporma, mapagbigay at masayahin. Wala na akong masasabi pa. Tumutulo na naman ang luha ko.

Farewell to you ate Yollie. You will never be forgotten.
I love you.

Nenette's Birthday Surprise

2008-06-30T11:56:00.000+08:00

A dear friend who is now based in Kobe, Japan wrote me several months ago. She wanted to surprise her mother on her 80th birthday. The plan was, she will arrive the day before her mother's birthday. I will pick her up from the airport, stay in my house for the night and deliver her to her mother the next day, 28 June 2008.

Fabulous.

"It's the best birthday gift", says her mother.

Happy 80th birthday Nanay!

My eldest niece turned 18 today.

Unlike other debutantes, Neng didn't want any big celebration. Her reason? She would rather use the money for her and her sister's enrollment. Besides, her mom already gave her ten thousand pesos and she used it to buy herself a brand new N70. I admire her sense of practicality.

From a problem brat to a very responsible child and sister.

Happy 18th birthday my dear Neng. I love you!

Happy birthday Meg!

2008-04-08T09:41:00.011+08:00

She's vibrant; she's bubbly;

She's elegant; she's crazy;

She's Maria Guadalupe;

Meg to us all; Boopi to me (silently).

She's good; she's a dear friend.

She just turned 33.

The cutest invitation that we ever received...

Thanks Meg, for inviting Glenn and me. Your birthday breakfast party was our first, ever.

Congratulations Colleen & Kenneth!

2008-03-28T16:34:00.003+08:00

My niece and nephew recently graduated from High School. Colleen Abigail had her graduation last 26 March, kasabay pa ng birthday ng lola nila and Kenneth's was on the the next day, 27th March. Syempre, I had to attend to both graduations para walang magtatampo. We had our celebration at Pizza Hut for both graduates right after Kenneth's graduation. The other two kids with me are Colleen's siblings, Aaron (in white shirt) and Elena (in yellow).

Sa inyong dalawa: Wish ko sana maipagpatuloy ninyo ang pag-aaral nyo sa college. At sana makatapos kayo ng kolehiyo ng walang aberya.

God bless to you both.

Happy birthday Inay!

2008-03-26T15:57:00.002+08:00

This morning I notice I had a missed call from my Inay. I thought maybe she already received the package I sent her. If that is true, then it arrived just in time for her birthday. I was about to dial her number when I suddenly realized that we are 8 hours apart. She must still be sleeping at the time.

So I decided to call her at around 2:30pm, 6:30 am London time.

1:30pm my phone rang. It was Inay and I answered quickly by blurting, "Happy birthday po Inay!". True enough the package arrived and she was very happy. She kept saying thank you. I asked her why she was up so early. She said she is preparing some pancit for their group's morning coffee. The residents of Pickering House always gather every Wednesday morning for coffee/tea. Its one of their social activities and since she said they know that today is her birthday, she decided to prepare something more than coffee and sandwiches.

My Inay is now 68.
Happy birthday Inay!
I wish you a longer life, many more birthdays to come.
I love you.

Spending MT & GF at K in Dolores, Quezon

2008-03-23T07:55:00.030+08:00

An innocent-looking facade, no signs at all; a tall, antique door; small round tables; a billiard table; native wall and corner decors; a sungkaan; tall windows; a kinda long-neglected bar; Teepee huts for two; a rustic hut for 8; long dinner table set in the middle of the garden; a sampaloc tree with two houses on it; an old wooden bench; exotic plants everywhere; Ralph & OJ - Jay's wonderful left and right hands; Onion & Praning (the pigs), Chongki and Moning (the dogs) - Jay's lovely pets. One will see all these and more plus of course, meet the Jay - the star partner/co-owner of Kinabuhayan, a bed and breakfast in Dolores, Quezon.

Hubby and I spent our Maundy Thursday (MT) and Good Friday (GF) here. Food was great. Jay makes the best risotto, ever!

O, diba? Sa Kinabuhayan pa dumayo ng sungkaan...

More images...

Meet Onion, one of Jay's beloved.

Happy and contented

Sumptuous dinner!

Good Friday breakfast - a buffet of Adobo rice, eggs, longganisang lucban, daing na bangus and a huge bowl of diced fruits.

After breakfast, Ralph took us to Kubli Springs, an Art and Nature Camp (they say) in Brgy. Dagatan. The river is cool. Lots of people, though, when we arrived. A table was already reserved for us. And so while waiting for our lunch, hubby decided to take the plunge.

Ralph and assistant, manning the inihaw na tanigue and pork ribs! (on a Good Friday!)

Hubby, falling asleep while waiting for lunch

with Jay Herrera, our bubbly host! Thanks Jay! and oh, yes, we loooove your risotto!

Grey's Diagnosis

2008-03-11T13:13:00.006+08:00

I just finished a survey posted in the Grey's anatomy site.
I am an Izzie!!!
"A true romantic, you believe that love makes anything possible, even when everyone tells you otherwise. You often based decisions on your heart, not your head but you wouldn't have it any other way even when life keeps handing you dissappointments"

Oh well, I like Izzie's role in this TV series. But I wonder what has happened lately. All they are showing are reruns! Grrr...

What "My Name" Means

2008-02-16T08:58:00.000+08:00

I got this from http://www.blogthings.com/.

It sure is fun!

You are full of energy. You are spirited and boisterous.
You are bold and daring. You are willing to do some pretty outrageous things.
Your high energy sometimes gets you in trouble. You can have a pretty bad temper at times.

You are relaxed, chill, and very likely to go with the flow.
You are light hearted and accepting. You don't get worked up easily.
Well adjusted and incredibly happy, many people wonder what your secret to life is.

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.

You are the total package - suave, sexy, smart, and strong.
You have the whole world under your spell, and you can influence almost everyone you know.
You don't always resist your urges to crush the weak. Just remember, they don't have as much going for them as you do.

You tend to be pretty tightly wound. It's easy to get you excited... which can be a good or bad thing.
You have a lot of enthusiasm, but it fades rather quickly. You don't stick with any one thing for very long.

Before the holiday season started, I told myself that when vacation starts I would do a general cleaning of the house. Nothing was done till now.
Oh well...

Rainy Christmas day....

2007-12-26T20:31:00.003+08:00

I woke up late yesterday and this was what I saw outside the window...

Waahh! So gloomy Christmas day...

But that's ok. This resulted to everyone staying in the house and did (hopefully) some bonding with the ONLY REASON for the SEASON: my saviour Jesus Christ!

Merry Christmas!

How did you know?

2007-12-19T11:16:00.001+08:00

For my dear husband...

2007-12-19T11:12:00.001+08:00

I remember so well
The day that you came into my life
You asked for my name
You had the most beautiful smile

My life started to change
I'd wake up each day feeling alright
With you right by my side
Makes me feel things will work out just fine

CHORUS
How did you know
I needed someone like you in my life
That there's an empty space in my heart
You came at the right time in my life

I'll never forget
How you brought the sun to shine in my life
And took all the worries and fears that I had
I guess what I'm really trying to say
It's not everyday that someone like you comes my way
No words can express how much I love you

Got my Little Brown Book

2007-12-03T12:40:00.001+08:00

Finally. Thanks to MM's directions I was able to finally see my copies of the Little Brown Book.

I ordered two pieces and I still dont know who to give the other one to. Haha! Hmmmnnn... I think I know now. I am sure she will appreciate this Christmas gift because she is into Food & Housing Services.

Here is MM's page:

All proceeds of the book will go solely to the fundraising of this school:

Nice project. Happy to be a part of it.

MM t-shirts and tote bag

2007-11-27T12:30:00.000+08:00

Well, since I'm in the mood to post some more pics and blogs that are waiting to be finished, here goes...

17 November 2007

We arrived last night at around 11pm. We could have arrived much, much earlier but there were some things we needed to drop off to our nephew's house in Calamba so...

Felt light waking up on our own bed. Hubby woke up early also so he could go play tennis. I have an early appointment at S&R Taguig today. Am supposed to pick up the MM tote bag and T-Shirts. I am driving alone to Bonifacio Global City for the first time but no worry, MM was so thoughtful enough to give me the directions in his website.

I left the house at 7. I was in Starbucks at Caltex SLT at 7:45 for my very much needed decaf. MM's directions were simple and straightforward. I just love it: " Bengski, I am so flattered that YOU would DRIVE all the way from Laguna! Yikes! When you get off at Market!Market!, keep going towards EDSA. S&R is at the corner of 5th Avenue and 32nd street, beside the large Home Depot hardware store. It is also beside the under construction St.Lukes Hospital and across the corner from Mcdonalds (there are two Mcdo in the Fort). It is NOT right near the McKinley Forbes exit. I hope that helps!".
November 15th, 2007

I didnt get lost, didnt get confuse. Now, if only some people could give directions in the same manner...

I reached S&R at about 8:30. S&R was still closed and the guard wont let me in inside the parking area. Hay naku. I have to wait daw till 9am. so I asked where I can park while waiting and he pointed upwards towards his back and said, "sa kabila po ng MC depot mam,". So off I drove around the block and immediately saw the open parking area. I parked the car and walked to S&R.

MC Depot walkway to S&R

When I got there, I saw this lady talking to the guard. I guess she was also trying to enter the garage but the guard maybe gave her the same answer so she got off her car locked it and walked towards the S&R gate. She left her car standing right there at the entrance of the garage! Hmmnnn, so I thought maybe I could go get my car and make pila na rin while waiting for the gate to open. About-face ako. Walked rapidly to the parking lot, took my car, drove off and reached the S&R lane. 8:45, hmm, I decided to just wait inside the car. 9am sharp, the barricade went up finally.

As I walked towards the S&R gate, I saw people starting to gather then I saw this bunch of people behind a table with the MM banner

I immediately knew that the tall guy in dark blue MM shirt is Mr. MM! The lady sitting behind the table must be Mrs. MM. We stood in a distance for a while giving them the time to arrange things. After a while, MM approached us and handed out a brown book for us to see, maybe order if we like it. This book was already featured in his website. Its a fundrasing project of a school and all the proceeds will go solely to the school. I ordered 2 pieces as soon as I got home that day.

A few more minutes and MM approached us again and this time exchanged pleasantries with us (I was standing with two other MM bloggers, forgot their names). I was happy because I was able to handshake with an idol. Kinda got star-struck. Ahihihi! That was why maybe when he finally announced that we can start choosing sizes I was still rattled and took size L for all three designs and a tote bag. I asked MM if he could sign my tote bag and he willingly did it for me. yay!

The MM stall as I was leaving S&R

As soon as I got out of S&R, I started asking myself if I should go home already. Then it occurred to me, what the heck! Hubby wont be home yet anyway so I might as well use the time to go around the global city. so, I proceeded to Market!Market! I took some pictures along the way...

On my way to Market!Market!

Passed by Bonifacio High

Cooled down at Starbucks Boni High

Purchased some cupcakes at Marta's Cupcakes, Serendra (pictures taken at home)

... and more cupcakes from Sonja's at Cupcakes by Sonja

Next day, hubby wore his MM shirt to church.
I took these pictures after the service on our way to lunch:

Nice, isn't it? Mine has "MarketManiac" written on the front and I still got another piece that says, "SUKI". The tote bag looks good too. I will bring it the next time I go to Salcedo market. I hope I remember to take a picture of it by then. Wanna know how you can get one for yourself?

Sitti, Live!

2007-11-26T11:26:00.000+08:00

Hubby and I had a great time watching Sitti Navarro last 22 Nov 2007. Her concert entitled One Bossanova Experience was held in Trace College here in Los Baños. It was great watching her since I liked her voice so much. It was a lively concert and she was so pretty that night. Lovely legs, my husband said.

She even signed my CD (Cafe Bossa) and DVD (Sitti Live!) Loveit!

Hope it won't be the last time!

An old discovery

Inside our room in Regents Hotel

After we had our breakfast at the Oysters, hubby and I went out to look for an ATM. Luckily, BPI was nearby so we took some cash.

When we got back in our hotel room, hubby said we forgot to pack his shaving kit. so I sent him back downstairs to pick up a shaver from a grocery store nearby. Unfortunately it was still rather early so the stores were still closed. He found one odd store though, manned by a chinese. He asked if he got a gillette mach 3 instead the guy handed him this item:

It was an old-fashioned razor. Hubby got amused because its been a long time since the last time he seen this so he took it. He showed it to me as soon as he got back and I watched him assemble the thing:

He was laughing all the while. As he was about to start shaving, I turned to go back to the computer when suddenly I heard, "ouch, ouch, aw, aw, ouch!" As in sunod-sunod! Haha! A few minutes after shaving he started complaining about how his skin is starting to ache. I guess he didn't know the right way to use the blade. Haha!

My youngest niece, Eunice, celebrated her birthday last 21 November 2007

Double celebration in Naga, part II

2007-11-21T11:39:00.000+08:00

15 November 2007
Oyster Restaurant

Mama was really surprised to see us. She was sitting all alone busy looking inside her bag when we entered the restaurant (Roy & Tom were in the Men's room). I stood beside her and said,"Happy birthday Mama!". She looked up and said,"Uy ne..." then looked down again in her bag then when she realized what was really going on, she looked up again, amazed, then stood up and hugged me. All that was captured in the video that my husband (her youngest son) was taking all the while. Surreal!

After all the exchange of stories, nephews and nieces started coming in. We had one family picture taken right before lunch.

The waiter took the cake out after lunch.

Glenn fixed and lighted her candle 83, RJ, Mama's great grandson stood beside her as we sang her Happy birthday song.

I served the cake right after she made her cut.

Everyone was happy!

After lunch, Kuya Roy asked us to take Mama to doctor to have her hips checked up by her doctor. So off we went to Mother Seton Hospital and luckily we were the first people so Mama got to be the first patient. So, the doctor came, checked her, asked for a full spine x-ray because he wants to show us that Mama is scholiotic too. After the check up, we headed to Mercury drugstore and got her prescribed medicine then went straight home.

That night, as I was sitting in Mama's bed, I noticed her framed picture with dedications written. I stood up and read it again.

Dang! Mama is only EIGHTY-TWO!

The night I ordered the cake, I was not sure about Mama's age so I texted hubby and asked him. He texted back saying she is 83. So, I wrote HAPPY 83RD BIRTHDAY MAMA! in that piece of paper and gave it to the cake house crew. When I got home, I asked hubby again if he was sure about her age. He said yes and that he even confirmed it from Kuya Roy.

Oh well... Mama had a good celebration anyway.

The next day, we hit the road early. It was raining in some areas on our way back but we still made a stop to take pictures...

Double birthday celebration in Naga!

2007-11-15T09:38:00.000+08:00

Today is my birthday and I am writing this blog from our room in the Regent Hotel in Naga City.

We decided to celebrate here this time since it is also my mom-in-law's birthday. She is now 82. We wanted to surprise her. She believed we won't be around because we already went home last Nov. 1 for the All Saint's Day celebration.

We left Los Baños yesterday noontime and reached Naga at around 7:30pm. We checked-in then headed straight to the Oysters Restaurant for Dinner. We wanted to have a quick dinner so we opted to order fast foods like Pancit Guisado & Chicken in garlic sauce. The food turned out great. After dinner, we decided to check the menu and order the food for the next day's celebration. I ordered several Crispy Pata, several Sweet & sour lapulapu, several Pancit Guisado, Beef, chicken and fried Rice. I brought a chocolate cake from a famous chocolate cake house in Los Banos and told the waiter that I would like it to be the dessert right after our Mom blew her candles. The waiter said they might charge corkage for it. He went to the counter to confirm and came back to tell me that the corkage is P150. Dang!!
Anyway, seems like we no choice after all so we agreed.

Just received an SMS from my brother-in-law, Roy that they are now leaving Libmanan for Naga so... gotta go! Hope I get good pictures that I can post here later.

Happy birthday to me, to Mama, to Aaron (my nephew) and to Em's (my sis' bestfriend) brother!

Me, my colds and the Chinese medicine...

2007-08-13T11:26:00.000+08:00

Am not feeling so well. I got colds since friday and still persisting today.

Yesterday, Sunday, hubby planned to go to work after breakfast so since I wasn't feeling well and the temp in the house is high enough to contemplate on turning the aircon on, I decided to just go with him and stay in my (cool) office instead. I thought I could work on my scrapblog while waiting for him.

So there, me and my never-ending sniffs in the office on a Sunday morning. Then a Chinese colleague came and we had a short talk. She noticed I wasn't feeling well so she dissapeared only to come back after a few minutes carrying with her a pack of Chinese medicine.

She offered it to me telling me to try it because it is very effective. The caplets have two colors. She said the white ones are for daytime (non-drowsy) and the black ones are for night time. She mentioned that another friend tried the meds recently and just after two caplets, the friend returned the pack saying that the colds are gone. Great, so I took it.

After 2 white and 1 black caplets, no change, really.

Oh well, maybe I should wait.

Saturday blast

2007-07-30T15:31:00.000+08:00

I had a nice Saturday last weekend (28 July 2007).

Morning, 9-12 noon. I attended a livelihood seminar - Gift-wrapping and packaging seminar. I learned how to make paper bags from scratch, how to wrap wine bottles and design giftwraps for ordinary boxes.

The speaker also gave us tips about which wrappers to use for different types of items/gifts. She showed us how to handle different materials such as sinamay, abaca, non-woven cloth, cellophane, papel de hapon, etc. She demonstrated how to make bows and ribbons using plastic ribbons and paper twines. I really enjoyed this seminar. There were about 25 of us half of which are senior-citizens already. But those ladies amazingly worked faster and had better-looking stuff than us. Haha!

Afternoon. My honey and I left for Alabang after lunch. We did one must-do, to bring our Aiwa component to Solid Service for its long-needed repair. It was our first time to go to this center but we did not take long to find its location. Thank God for websites!

Then off we went to SM Southmall to get tickets for the Don Moen Concert at the Araneta Coliseum.

In this concert, his new album, the "Hiding place" was featured. Nice songs. We bought the CD after the show.

The concert started ON TIME! Boy, was I so glad! Don Moen came out in the stage at exactly 8pm. This was our 3rd time to watch Don Moen but still he was mesmerizing. I love all the songs. He did a healing prayer too. Glory to God!

We tried to follow Dom Moen in the backstage right after the concert. But the guards were so strict. We were hoping Don would sign our "Thank You Lord" DVD. Well... anyway...

We were out of the coliseum a little after 10pm. We went to the car and immediately played the CD and heard 'He never sleeps' once again. It was really a nice song:

- He Never Sleeps -

by Claire Cloninger & Don Moen

When You've prayed every prayer that you know how to pray.

Just remember the Lord will hear and answer is on it's way.

Our God is able. He is mighty. He is faithful.

And He never sleeps He never slumbers.

He never tires of hearing our prayer.

When we are weak He becomes stronger.

So rest in His love and cast all of your cares on Him.

Do you feel that the Lord has forgotten your need.

Just remember that God is always working in ways you cannot see.

Our God is able. He is mighty. He is faithful.

And He never sleeps He never slumbers.

He never tires of hearing our prayer.

When we are weak He becomes stronger.

So rest in His love and cast all of your cares on Him.

===================

We decided not to go home yet. We went to Klownz, a comedy bar. We had a nice time there. We were laughing to the end. Don't know but when it comes to comedy, I think gay people delivers them best. Its so natural for them. There was singing, dancing and lots of comedy. Allan K is good and I like the 3-gay people (forgot their names already) who stood as his back-up.

We left Klownz at past 1am and got home at almost 3pm. Love it!

Celebrating Anniversary #1

2007-07-18T16:20:00.001+08:00

July 18, 1997. After almost a year of always being together (in groups), he took me on our first dinner date on this day.

Nobody knew then that there was ‘us’ already. It wasn’t easy at first. There were other women in his life at that time. One (MRB) openly showed her affection for him making everyone in the group think that it was ‘them’ somehow. Second (MB), felt that since he once visited her in her house (I think that was fiesta time in their area), he had feelings for her already. The third one (JB) was still her girlfriend at that time but she lives way up north of the country so they seldom see each other.

Then things just fell on their respective positions. MRB left the company, worked in Manila but still kept in touch with him until he decided to stop it already. She was furious. She tried all imaginable tactics just to win him especially when she found out that he was dating me already. She sent him letters, notes, gifts, emails. There was even one time she came at our workplace so late at night just to see him. To think she lived about 2.5 hours away from our workplace. She was practically stalking him. She is still in love with him until now. At least this is what she claims in her blog. MB on the other hand also left the company a year after MRB left. She just disappeared but I won’t forget that day when I met her in Crossing and she snobbed me. Oh well, that's understandable. JB’s case - this he had to take care of personally. He drove 7 hours to see and finally broke up with her.

Our relationship went deeper after that. I knew he was serious about me when he finally decided to introduce me to his mom. Then he took me to his brother’s house in Paranaque. Then to his cousin’s house in Ayala-Alabang. His mom, his brother and his cousin. All played really important roles in his life.

He is now my husband. We got married on his birthday and we’ve been married 4 years. Still, we celebrate our Anniversary #1. We talked a lot about it while still in bed this morning. It was fun reminiscing those unforgettable moments. We haven't decided where we should go tonight. I hope I can take pictures.

Happy 10th anniversary honey, I love you!

I love my new bags!

2007-07-16T08:34:00.000+08:00

My dear sister recently sent me 2 bags.

The first one is a Prada Evening Heart (BN1134)

nice design, isnt it?

The second one is a Louis Vuitton Speedy 25

I love 'em! Thanks Catherine!
Mwah!

Iba ang kakilala sa kaibigan

2007-07-13T12:44:00.000+08:00

Unforgettable line of a fellow blogger about shedding friends: Shedding polishes and sorts your relationships with people. You shed friends who are insincere, phony, difficult, annoying, treats you bad, or uses you. Shedding is human nature's way of picking out TRUE friends from a pile of whom you call "friends."

So true.

Sometime last May, I decided to shed out a friend and I feel better now knowing that she is no longer a part of my circle.

She is a rich kid but she is also self-conceited, proud and boastful. One concrete proof of my description of her was her scratched car. She used to bring her SUV to work pero dahil sa sobrang yabang nya in dealing with people at work, she found her car one day displaying two long, deep scratches, one in the front bumper, the other on the driver’s side door. She’s also had a number of verbal and written arguments with several employees of the company. To think na to date, she’s only been with us for 8 months.

Just the other night she met an accident. Wala naman syang injury pero the company car was wrecked. Galing sa gimik, pinilit umuwi kahit na dis-oras ng gabi. Hayun, binangga nya yung mga barriers dun sa SLEX. She called her boyfriend to help her, she called her friends to tell them what happened but she never called home. Why, apparently, pag nalaman ng tatay nya yung nangyari, pagreresignin sya sa trabaho. Weird.

I’ve never met her father (Thank God for little mercies...) pero ganun ang press release nya tungkol sa father nya. High and mighty. She is what, 33 years old pero ni hindi sya madalaw ng bf nya sa bahay nila kasi ayaw ng tatay nya dun sa guy. Why did she go home that night kahit na antok na antok na siya at nakainom pa? Dahil sa tatay nya. Hindi pwedeng hindi sya uuwi kasi her tatay will go ballistics if he finds out na hindi sya umuwi. So kahit na anong pigil sa kanya ng mga kasama nya that night, she still opted to drive ~60 kilometers just to get home. Ang bait. Pero aksidente ang naging kapalit. Kawawa naman.

Hindi naman ako galit sa kanya. Nagtampo lang ako nung una. So I kept my distance for a while. But then later I realized nawala na rin pala ang amor ko sa kanya so I finally decided to shed her out. I still see her around. I greet her plainly whenever I see her pero syempre, minus the usual happy rapport.

What does my latte say about me?

2007-07-10T08:50:00.000+08:00

What Your Latte Says About You

You are easygoing and pretty simple to please. You don't put up a fuss... ever.

You can be quite silly at times, but you know when to buckle down and be serious.

You have a good deal of energy, but you pace yourself. You never burn out too fast.

You have a healthy relationship with caffeine. You're definitely not dependent on it.

You are responsible, mature, and truly an adult. You're occasionally playful, but you find it hard to be carefree.

You are complex and philosophical, but you are never arrogant.

I love my new rubber shoes...

Bought a new pair of rubber shoes in Megamall last Saturday.

Skechers (Energy 2-Zags). Made in USA. Love it.

Last April 2007, my honeybunch went on a business trip to California.
He bought this pair of rubber shoes from Ontario Mall in Rancho Cucamonga.

Nike. Made in China. Well...

Bits and pieces of my life... written.

Finally.
I've been meaning to enter the blogworld for so long. But I always end up asking myself, "ano isusulat ko? Hindi naman ako writer".

But then I need a space to vent, tell my stories, frustrations, thoughts and my usual everyday things.

Maybe this is where I can be me. Really.
