Christina Aguilera Concert

*It's been a busy day so pardon me for the long post.* I made a money out of my trash collection. I've sold out my Harper's Bazaar magazines through yahoo auctions. All 19 of them. Though it's not that a huge amount, still, Im so happy that I made a few bucks out of the things that I so wanted to throw away for so long. Truly, a man's trash is another's treasure. Few minutes after, the uncle came to fix our washing machine. Finally, after two weeks! Tons of laundry is already waiting hehehe. During our late lunch, vinh told us about his lost handphone. Sad. He felt depressed. :( We went to Sentosa afterwards for the MND Family Day. Never miss a year of it from the day I started working in hadaba. We went there too late to enjoy the games, or the heat of the sun though so we just took our souvenir from Kulet, peek at the oh-so-famous cafe del mar (we have to go back there really to enjoy cafe del mar at night. seems like a really cool place to hang out), did a little bit of walking, and after an hour, we were on our way back home, leaving ami and the rest for the Christina Aguilera concert. We arrive at the Kallang Stadium at 30 minutes late. We just arrive exactly on time Christina show up. No show band or anything. It was by far the earliest one that started. Usually it's an hour after before they show the artist. Anyway, we really did enjoy the concert. I used to admire her for her fashion sense and her powerful voice but I never was a fan. But now, I proudly announce, that from now on, I am a huge fan of hers. She got a real powerful voice. Great performer. Each song, she added something to her outfit to make it a little different from the one's she's wearing previously. All her backup singers, dancers and musicians, seems to be enjoying and not just performing. You can see that she's really enjoying what she's doing. Basta, words isn't enough to describe vividly how this concert of hers rocks. I enjoyed each concert that me and ffg went to but this one is really the best of them all. We didn't actually notice that it's been an hour and a half already. Whe she said goodbye, I felt like please please at least one more song. If she will do another concert here in Singapore, I'll make sure that we'll be down near the stage. I got a few shots out of my camera phone, it's not good but it will do. We're seated on the farthest but they have a big screen that shows closely all that's happening on the stage. We bought a cd at hmv afterwards. Good thing it's still open. And in my opinion, CD's doesn't do justice to Christina's voice. It was really good hearing it live. She's beautiful, she's got a really good body, and very very talented. So far, from her album "Back to Basics", my favorites were, "Oh Mother", "Hurt", and "The Right Man". After the concert, we were still high on Christina's notes, we went to Que Pasa for a glass of wine, beef stew and pizza. And yes, we were that hungry as we didn't had a chance to take our dinner. Today's High: A concert that really rocks, and a bottle of wine

Kahilingan

"for a lot of times in your life you asked for that "time". where you'll be able to rest and sleep, catch up with all the things you wanted to do. now that you had it in your hand, why can't you feel the blessings of it? because you worry too much about a lot of things. now all you ask is to take back that busy-ness in your life. because that would mean so much not just to you but to your family. that you don't deserve to rest because if you do, it will cause too much chaos. yes, we have to be really careful for the wishes that we asked for. better asked for blessings that He know is best for us."

Pipo & Pipa's Wedding

Philip and Phylis 16 June 2007 The Legends, Fort Canning Different cultures. Different beliefs. Different worlds. Naks pang telenobela ang quote. Huwala lang. I love attending weddings lang. It's the only place where you can see love overflowing from the eyes of all the guests. Happiness for the couple. Not just a reason to have a free meal or booze. Well, maybe for others hehehe. An intro lang since I never had the chance to take a photo of the couple because they kept on moving around. Di ko mahuli. Philip is a swiss who work with ffg. Phylis is a local who used to work with them din. We witness how they became a couple. The wedding reception was held at The Legends, Fort Canning. We arrive just in time for the cocktails. Ngek andaming swiss. Bulong ako kay ffg wag ako iwan hehehe anlalaking tao kasi. Baka matapakan ako. Tuwa ako bumabaha ng wines and sodas. Wish ko lang we can do this sa wedding din namin. The place is great. Food was a 8-course chinese cuisine dinner. Wine kept on pouring. There was a live band. Most of the guests stayed until almost 11pm. There's not much of a program except for the grand entrance, cake cutting and "yam seng" or toast for the couple. They showed avp of the usual chinese tradition where the groom will go the bride's place to fetch her but before this, he has to drink or eat whatever the family of the bride asked him to do hehehe. Funny din how you see traditions of different cultures. For the grooms side naman, a common swiss tradition for a stag party pala was the friends of the groom who'll be organizing the party will let the groom to be do the usual things he do. Like for Philip's case, he likes going to the gym, swimming and then partying. They did all these except, they asked him to do everything in girl's clothes. Yaiks hahaha. Bilib ako cause he was so cool about it. Everyone was laughing at the presentation. The night didn't end there. We went straight to MOS where the couple's friends reserved a place at Club 54. Naks VIP lane ito. There's drinks everywhere. Sana laging may wedding mga swiss hehehe. Here are some of the photos I got. Sensya na pangit reso. Im only using my N70 phone hehehe. Wala na ko digicam huhuhu.

The Arena

We took Sheryl, Oying's sister, who works for Star Cruise Libra, last night at boat quay for dinner. We had chilli crab, cereal prawn, sambal kangkong and fried rice. Sarap. After the dinner, we went around clarke quay to check for a place where we could have a drink. I accidentally bumped into Jhude and saw her there with her friends and hubby. Aba, buntis na gumigimik pa. We were surprised to see a lot of bars now in clarke quay. There's one called CLINIC, complete with hospital gurneys that double as lounge beds outside. We didn't get to see inside, though. Maybe we'll check it out next time. We went to Arena instead because the performers were all europeans - like spice girls. And yes, since Rommel's the one who's paying, he had the final say where to go. :D We saw our friends dennis and benjie there. It was a good place actually. Specially for guys hehehe since there were girls dancing in sexy outfits. Drinks were cheap. A jug of beer of housepour costs only $SGD18+++. Just don't order the screwdriver because you can't seem to taste the vodka at all. All the staffs were really friendly though. We did enjoy the night, and we hope that Sheryl did too. These were the only photos I got from my camera phone. Sheryl had a lot of pictures but unfortunately we weren't able to read her memory card on our computer.

Last Day in Manila

My flight is at 6 pm but we're all awake by 9am. My dad came by and we all went to Mall of Asia for lunch. It was complete sana but Kendz had to go to work :( We went to MOA with my big luggage in tow. Good thing daddy was there hehehe kung hindi naku kawalang poise kaya yun. And buti na lang din SM allow big luggages at their luggage counter to be left. We had our lunch at Bangus. Sarap grabe. All food were good. Nakaikot ikot pa kami ng konti and bought a CD of kasal kasali whatever hehehe. They insist on me to watch it so ayun hehehe. Went to NAIA after where we said our goodbyes. It wasn't that really sad because I know in 3 months I'll be seeing them again and this time it will be one of the grand moment in my life. I was happy that this was the first time my Dad went with us to see me off. :)

7th Day in Manila

It's my first time since I went to Singapore to work being here on a friday, at this grandiose church in Quiapo. Mom and I usually go to Quiapo church every first friday of the month and 9th of january, during the feast of Nazareno. Before we left home, I was waiting for a good news. I have asked Him a lot of things in my life that even one single thing, He never failed to give me. There may be few that wasn't given to me at the exact moment that I asked for it, He still gave it to me in some sort of way. God is really good. There may be ways that I've been tested to lose my faith and hope and blame Him for the things that happened in my life, but He made me stronger and made me hold on to what I believed in. He gave me my family, my Mom especially, and Rommel so I could have someone to lean on when I was about to give up and being weak. This is one of those usual times that He had proven to me His love for me. Just before we reached the church, He gave me another reason to give glory to His name. He gave me a reason to be happy and thankful being inside Quiapo Church once again and not just be there weeping and asking him for another grace. Even through the homily, it looks like He was also speaking to me. Im sorry for some readers if I have been boring you with this. I just can't help it. After mass, we went to Robinson's Manila for late lunch. We walked around and waited for the event stylist that we hired for the wedding. We signed the contract, pay the dp, went straight to wack wack after the call we got from our AE. We saw the beauty of pavilion B in action. From there, we went to Megamall, had dinner at jabee with bunso and called it a night.
