Precious Angel

If I see you in another lifetime,
would you know who I was or who we were?
would you know how much we have anticipated your arrival?
would you remember how wide our smiles when you came?


If I see you in another lifetime and you didn't recognize me,
would you spend a little moment to listen so i can tell you
not much but enough to help you remember some of it?

I was glad that for a while you made me happy when I first carried you in my arms
Would you even have a recollection of the song I sang to you
when you couldn't sleep because of your tummy ache?
It was a few days but all the while made me fell in love with you

But when I had the chance to meet you again,
i will tell you how much happiness you've brought us
how much our hearts were broken when you left us
how much it aches to have lost you forever

We will miss you so much our sweet angel
As you rest in Gods care
We will rest too
Knowing that Jesus is watching over you

We love you so much!

Precious Child - Karen Taylor Good

In my dreams, you are alive and well
Precious child, precious child
In my mind, I see you clear as a bell
Precious child, precious child
In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart, there is hope
'Cause you are with me still

In my heart, you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

In my plans, I was the first to leave
Precious child, precious child
But in this world, I was left here to grieve
Precious child, my precious child

In my soul, there is a hole
That can never be filled
But in my heart there is hope
And you are with me still

In my heart you live on
Always there, never gone
Precious child, you left too soon,
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

God knows I want to hold you,
See you, touch you
And maybe there's a heaven
And someday I will again
Please know you are not forgotten until then

In my heart you live on
Always there never gone
Precious child, you left too soon
Tho' it may be true that we're apart
You will live forever... in my heart

What Our Airport has to Offer… Not!

Reposting from chuvaness site. Very good read.

Do you care about our airports? Please sign up on this Facebook page.
Let's get the numbers to let the President know we mean business.

Here's a letter sent to me by Anna Oposa:
"My dad and I sent this letter to Mr. Jose Angel Honrado, head of the Manila International Airport Authority, this morning. We ask MIAA to review the inefficient check-in procedures, and a financial report of the terminal fees, among others. I've also reposted this on my blog and tweeted it to travel bloggers to generate more buzz and put more pressure on the MIAA and other agencies concerned.
I wanted to send you a copy of the letter as well, just to let you know that private citizens are trying to do something about our (crappy) airports."

We are TWELVE!

Last night was our 12th BF-GF anniversary. We went to Osteria, Mozza at Marina Bay Sands for dinner as we thought of changing our usual course of buffet dinner. We were choosing between Wolfgang Puck and Osteria but Wolfgang is waaaaaayyyyy expensive and beyond our budget lol. Anyway, Osteria had so many options in the menu and the place is really posh. I feel like I'm going on a date for the first time with habidadi hihihi. Osteria, by the way, is the first Italian restaurant in Singapore which I later find out has one also in Los Angeles. The waiters are very attentive and I have never seen so many staff in a SG restaurant than here where you can always find one for assistance. After we have placed our menu, one westerner guy, probably a wine connoisseur, helped us in picking our red. He gladly explained each kind that is around our budget hihihi. Let me start with the photos because pictures speaks a thousand words :D

In case you run out of ideas to dine with your best friends or dates, this place is a must. A SGD$150 budget will suffice for 2 person and you will feel so full like you had on a buffet. Below are what we had from their menu and they are all a must try. I have listed below the full menu they have just in case you wanted to check it out before heading down there. I'm no food critic. I just love blogging about the things that makes me happy :) And something that makes me happy makes me unstoppable in recommending them to anyone :)

 

[Foradori Teroldego - $26 per glass]

For drinks, just because it's a bit affordable at first and very well explained by the handsome guy hihihi, we had this one by the glass.

[Lurisia Still Water – free]

I was never a fan of sparkling water unlike habidadi so we ordered this still water instead of the sparkling one. Only when we were billed out, we found out that the water is free :)

 

IMG_1992

[butter lettuces with hazelnuts, bacon, gorgonzola dolce and egg - SGD$21]

For starters or Antipasti we both shared a salad. The dressing is a  bit strong leaning on to the vinaigrette-y flavor and I'm not really a fan of anything with vinegar-y taste in it. I thought I won't be able to finish it but mixing it with the salty taste of flavor and hazelnuts, it makes the dish absolutely divine and yes we finished it right away ;D. I felt full already with the salad alone.

 

IMG_1993

[toasted bread with ricotta cheese – free]

I thought habidadi was a bit exaggerating after tasting this small dish that's why I was having second thoughts on trying it. Besides, it's a family of cheese and I don't trust him when it comes to cheese because he adores the kinds of cheeses with the foul smell lol no offense with those who liked it really much. We even put the small amount in the free rye bread :) I want ricotta cheese from now on!

 

 IMG_1994

[orecchiette with sausage & swiss chard - SGD$25]

IMG_1995

[grouper - SGD$32]

For secondi, we had orecchiette and grouper. They first served orecchiette in 2 separate dishes. It looks like calamari with sauce though but this is a kind of pasta with spicy tingling sensation. Will it be too cyclical if I say this dish is divine? Like I said, Im no food critic so pardon my lack of food verbs to describe how delicious one dish is. I didn't finished mine though because it's really spicy for me. Few minutes later, they served the grouper. And with that heavenly smell, we can't help but dig in right away even if it's still oozing hot. The crispness of the fish with the sauce around it is fantastic. I pat myself on the back for having a good choice this time. 

 

I dont have any negative comments on this place. Being our first, it made us even want to come back again for the next occassion. Oh, they also have a pizzeria beside the resto so if you're not feeling the fine dining thing, you can opt for that. And I'm sure it will be delicious since they have wood fired pizzas! We will and hope to try that next time!

The only thing but not really a big deal is they don't have any special for couples celebrating anniversaries :) Others we went to either gave us a free bottle of champagne or a cake :D

All in all, this night is truly remarkable. Tenchu habidadi for making our twelfth really memorable. Tenchu for the lovely dinner and the surprise "daily serving of chocz" and of course the coach bag you gave me. Thank you Lord for the 12 wonderful-and-sometimes-not-so-wonderful years. Please give us more love for the next coming years in our life.

Young Love

I called it as it is not because of the age of the people involve in that four letter word that runs the whole world. "Young Love" pertains to that feeling that's just started. It is the sweetest and most romantic place any person of any age would agree to either reminisce or loved to share.

I love listening to stories of beautiful beginnings. We all have been on the same boat at some point in our life but it's so "kilig" when you realize how each story sways you and makes you high. Haven't you realize how many romantic movies you have seen but each time you watch one they put a smile on your face and makes you "kilig"? Have you ever paid a huge amount in a class/session where you know will bore you to death and doesn't interest you at all but you know that he/she will truly enjoy? How about turning your back to the world and enlisting yourself to a home just so you could personally take care of your wife even if the dementia makes her forget who you are? Or simple things like getting up in the middle of the night to make a peanut butter sandwich for him/her without complaining? What about spending a fortune for a cab ride back home almost everyday at 1 or 2 AM in the morning just because you want to spend more time with him/her? Have you gone an extra mile like planning ahead of the place and dinner and people involve to make sure everything is perfect for your marriage proposal? Or proposing and/or saying yes to someone you just knew for a week? Have you fallen in love with someone who's forever tied up in a wheelchair? Or dance someone in the rain without any music at all? If I list everything I remember and asked everyone I know, the list will be endless. Isn't it worthy to at least try and see for yourself how beautiful young love is?

We all do love beginnings and fret so much about the endings that most of the time it let us messed up what we have at the moment. We put inhibitions before the good thing even began just because we are so afraid of hurting in the end. Believe it or not, either way it still does hurt so we might as well have a good taste of something beautiful than live in the cliché "what-if". Let's not cynic about everything that didn't turn out good. Everything in this world deserves a chance to prove its worth.

Basta Driver, Sweet Lover

It's a common slogan back home especially on the public transports. My dad used to joke about this with my Mom before. When he packed his bags almost two decades ago, I knew this slogan is not just a slogan :D. It does seem to have a connection with the male's narcissistic way of boosting their ego. Why am I bringing this subject? Lol. Well, few days ago, we were home for vacation and one time we took a cab, we had a chat with the cab driver. I was with my mom at that time and baby cheska. I can't remember how the conversation dive into the subject but what I can't seem to forget is what he had told us. He said he love his family and he will never leave them for any other girl. But he admits that he's "babaero" and occasionally *and casually* saying that every month he would go to a bar to take out some girl and release the heat. Then casually saying this and I hope I remember it correctly.

Driver: I'm already 60 and let's admit the fact that no matter how many expensive perfumes my wife uses, she will still smell like dirt or in tagalog "amoy lupa". I want to feel a young girl's skin and smell the scent of a young one that's why every month I go out to get one. Anyway, I'm always protected so I don't have any worries of having any "accident".

My mom's smiling maybe for being polite but me, deep inside I was thinking if this is really what "marriage" will happen after 3 or 4 decades of being together. I blurted out after sometime that I don't want to grow old and they both laugh. I know and I hope that habidadi is a lot different than this man but the truth really hurts. You grow old together but they still want to live their life in the past as if it's normal. Scary. Really really scares me.

On another note, there's a short gag from youtube about couples saying goodbye on the phone in three different stages. first is married couple of about 10 to 15 years, 2nd is old couple and third is new bf-gf couple.

MARRIED COUPLE

wife: love you honey. i miss you. see you tomorrow!

husband: love you too honey and i miss you a lot. see you tomorrow. bye!

*click*

OLD COUPLE

husband: love you honey.

wife: ok bye.

*click*

NEW BF-GF COUPLE

girl: i love you so much. i miss you already. blah blah.

boy: i love you more honey. i miss you terribly. blah blah.

girl: o cge honey baba mo na. i love you.

boy: mauna ka na honey. i love you.

*after long hours*

girl: honey baba mo na may naririnig na kong tilaok ng manok. i love you.

boy: oo nga honey eh cge na mauna ka na. i love you too.

I was laughing at the show because I have been guilty of that too. When relationships are new it seem like there's no tomorrow. As if you wanted to be with the person forever. But as relationships grew older, everything changes. According to experts, it means love is stronger as the relationship grew older. There's more trust and comfort that the person you love will be there forever. Is it? Really?

I'm just thinking why do we have this "overflowing" romantic and cheesy side when we're falling? But everything diminishes each year we're with the same person? Love getting less is really out of the question because once you've planted love on one person it will always be there. Even if you separated ways, yes I guess in some other way the love is still there. Maybe on a different perspective. But the cheesiness is what makes love even stronger and a happy place. Why does it fade over the years? I'm sure there's a better explanation to this. I just hope relationship works the way I picture it and not the way reality takes it place nowadays.

Goodbye 2010. Hello 2011.

My firs blog for the year 2011.
Another chapter has gone by. I can't believe a year, that's 12 months or 365 days or 8760 hours or 525600 minutes or ... alright I'll stop. But can you believe that? It looks like forever but it isn't. It's just passing by like pffftt. I look back and skipped 2 years and there I was always praying in silence to give me the best gift. And now here I am, about to bid goodbye to another year but still praying in silence that the gift given to us could stay in good health and away from harm. We all are lucky individuals with all these blessings that's coming our way. I do let myself wallow at the previous chapters of my life at times because it helps me to be a lot more appreciative of what I have now than before. And this looking back thing only occurs in my mind once a year so let me do it now again - in writing - so when my age strikes me back and i couldn't have the same memory capacity of a 20 something *alright 30-something then! sheesh* I would have something to help me play some part of the movie titled "my life", that is if life would be kind enough to let me have a good eyesight. Alright then, let's start now.
In January, was able to get another designer bag in addition to my collection and baby C’s into solids for the first time. The first major downer of our year was the cebupacific incident.
In February, a first time for me to meet a favourite author when Mitch Albom in flesh went to Singapore.
In March, everything that occurs was a downer for my year. It was the saddest month of my 2010. First was the biggest blow, the unanticipated demise of a good friend. Another followed by Toffee’s bidding us goodbye forever. Toffee has been with us for years. Then last was when baby c’s PR got rejected.
In April, just got busy for the preparation for the little princess’s first birthday.
In May, still into preparations and baby C’s first trip to Malaysia.
In June, finally got a reply from my email complaint to cebu pacific after 5 months which meant nothing really. Then my blog after years of being in black has finally picked a new look. Then there’s Baby C making few steps on her own. And last is finally going for the first time to Wild Wild Wet and we really enjoyed it. And a downer for the month is when I lost my ezlink and money.
In July, still feeling the tension and stress from preparing baby c’s birthday and the birthday celebration of our little princess which surprisingly I didn’t have any post about it. Anyway, pictures are in my FB account :D
In August, is my most loved month of the year. I finally got my dream LV and celebrating my nth birthday with Kuya and family is the cherry on my sundae. love love this month!
In September, celebrating our 3rd year wedding anniversary is the top 1 of the month. Although it’s still my most hated month as we felt so much down finding a decent place.
In October, another updates from our growing princess and baby C’s first time to attend Halloween party with kids almost her age.
In November, is a big family event for us when the little prince – Nathaniel Kristoff arrived. My newest pamangkin.
In December, aside from celebrating Christmas, my top 1 of the month is the christmas gift I got from habidad - a chanel pair of earrings and the last hirit we had for Christmas is going to Manila on the last day of December via Singapore Airlines another first time for baby Cheska.

This year has brought us so many blessings to thank for but the sadness it brought is a lot to take in. I hope 2011 will bring us more happiness and less of heartaches. Problems will always be there and I’m not asking it to go away because at times, it makes us stronger. I just hope no one will say goodbye this year or if possible for the next more years. I just hate when sadness come at this form. So, 2011 we’re ready for the challenges you’ll be putting on us. And could you please please send more blessings and happiness in our way?

Goodbye 2010! It’s been fun and lovely being with you!

September

September isn't really a good month for us. A LOT of things has changed. Change is inevitable and i know that. Maybe I'm sulking much into the shadow that I don't see much of the goodness of everything that's happening now. But inspite of it all, God has been and always been good to us. One day, we will learn to live by what is there in our plate and just accept that everything happens for a better reason. God is good. God will provide.

A huge downer in our life

was trying not to focus on it but it's really hard for me not to feel down with the recent events. it's already tiring to view units one after another and with the prices really gone high, we don't seem to have much of a choice. blame it on our 10 yrs of stay in singapore and got used to staying in much better places. now, though it's suppose to be not much big of a deal, i think it's becoming a downer for us. after a lot of viewing taking our strength and time with cheskapot, we cant seem to find the right place that suits our needs. maybe we'll get used to it :(  all i really wish is to have a place of our own in a place we called home for 10 years. and wishing that it's not that high to rent your own place so we can live a normal life without stress. wish lang naman :( hayyyzzzz

The Wine Company and about Friendship

Just came home from our lovely fabulous dinner at Dempsey Hill. I didn’t know this place exist in Singapore lol. The place is really cozy with very affordable wines! This place is a heaven for wine lovers and for the not so into wines, it still should go to their must see places. The place was recommended by the two girls. I had a really fun night tonight. Serious talks, girl talk hihihi over a yummy ribs and sausage platter and pizza with a bottle of Reisling, feeling Carrie of SATC ang beauty ko! Thank you girls! I’m so glad I still have few left pa pala.

Over a fun dinner, of course, I couldn’t help with a few realization about friendship. A) that not all the people you know and listed as friends are genuinely happy with what you have in life. they find it annoying to see something new happening in your life. or they seem to be happy but eventually you’ll find in another way that they weren’t. honestly, i don’t get it. BUT if they’re happy always finding something off with you, just let it be. B) that i wanted to do things just to “cleanse” off the negative air around me but I just don’t know how. C) that FB helped me to find out that i have millions of friends and it also helped me realized that only 100 of them are genuine or sincere. SO, i’m about to start with my downsizing BUT then again, I don’t want to put a flammable liquid into the already burning fire SO I might take time to let few remain for the reason that I alone can only understand.

Ok so above all the items i listed, one thing’s for sure. i’d rather keep 1 or 2 of my most priced possessions than keeping all with the rustic vibes else i might end up with nothing at all. thank you for your post for making me realize the above things. in all honesty, i was a bit affected at first, but now, i’m feeling a little happy about it. why fret over a rustic nail when it won’t ever helped you get hold of that beautiful painting you have? i still have my un’amica stretta and i’ll be glad to spend my time on them :) I don’t want to be remembered as the one causing so much annoyance in someone else’s life so i’d rather stay away so I won’t cause them stress. i’m sorry if i bother you with some information about my life. i’ll try to be boring next time.

Another blessing indeed and a dream come true

I always thank God for letting me reach some of my “impossible” dreams. Though I admit, they seem to be shallow, but still, it is something that I’m really thankful for. I just want to blog this day that I finally got another blessing. Of course, I wouldn’t let it pass without blogging the details. but at the moment, let this suffice.
Thank you dadi for always “spoiling” me in everything as long as you can. Thank you for the birthday / wedding anniversary / christmas / bf-gf anniversary / valentines gift.  I’m not one to complain. I got what I really really wanted. Been drooling on it for years and now it’s here. So, thank you, thank you, thank you!
I love you dadi! Even without the material things you’re giving me. I will always do. Because through you, I have known your family. Through you, I’ve gone so far and achieved so many things in life. Through you, I’ve been strong whenever I wanted to give up and when my life was filled with so much drama. And through you, I have my little miss busangot, who never fail to make my heart flutter each minute of the day.
Uberly happy!

Don’t you sometimes wish???

To be extremely rich so you’ll be able to buy those pretty little things with exorbitant price tags around their neck? I do. It’s selfish. It’s worldly sinful. But I admit my shallowness shows whenever I see these lovely pieces. Sigh. Well, like they always say “libre lang mangarap”. Whatever it is. You’ll never know :)

Some women adores shoes and collects numbers of them. They get extremely high whenever they visited shoe stores. I am not one of them. Because my heart belongs to bags :D Here’s a few pieces I really love and made my heart flutter each weekend we paid a visit to these shops along Orchard. And I swear I’m loving my husband for giving in to my vices sometimes. It’s my happiness at the end of the long stressful week :) Bags, bags, bags, I can’t seem to get enough of them… Wish, wish, wish, wish I’m rich as any celebrity in hollywood.

Some people may find it hard to believe that there are people buying these kind of bags. I guess it’s an obsession. And everyone does have it, isn’t it? Owning a designer bag is an investment for some. You can resell them at a price almost the same amount. I’ve bought my very first designer bag in 2004 and for six years it has served me well. When I last visited gucci, the bag was still there and selling a hundred dollars more. So you see, it’s not just all a waste of money :D And I know a lot of second hand shops that are selling bags that you can’t imagine you’ll be owning for the half price. There’s also an online store that let the people rent a bag for a week at $50 or less :) Ok, so let’s have a peek at these lovely things.

Louis Vuitton – it’s the “IT” bag and almost everyone I know owns a piece from this famous brand. Or some like me still dreaming of owning one *lol*. The first two bags were my first love. It was on my wish list for 2009. Will it be Speedy or Neverfull?
2212Damier_Speedy_25_-_22212Damier_Speedy_25LV02-300 louis-vuitton-damier-neverfull
Misc_055DAMIER HAMPSTEAD PM

Balenciaga – when I saw it last July at Glorietta 5 with the same color as below, I swear my heart skipped a beat. It’s like seeing Vin Diesel in person! too bad, wasn’t able to go inside the shop to feel them.
3212Giant_City_PeonyBL07-300
Chanel – this 2.55 bag is like part of my memories with SATC when Charlotte was carrying the white one.
channel

Hermes – this Birkin bag is like a symbol of ultimate luxury. Like Chanel, it was also a part of my memories with SATC when Samantha was trying to red bag and uses Lucy Liu’s name just to skip the waiting list. And again was shown in second part of the movie where it made a lot of women gasp when it was broken. And I know, most of the fashionista’s already know what Lady Gaga had done to her Birkin. It’s her bag but still, it’s like, sigh. I don’t know how and why Hermes approved this kind of “inappropriate” behaviour. Sorry Lady Gaga. I do like you a bit but I think you’ve overdone it this time.
   hermesNew-York-Plaza-Detail-11   disaster

Christian Louboutin – still SATC. They should be thankful to Bushnell and the directors for introducing their lines to the “common” people. Now, even I know big names like Chanel, Hermes, Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahniks. CL’s red soles are their trademarks and I saw one pair of shoes in Takashimaya selling at SGD $1250.

Manolo Blahnik – love the color and the feather!

Jimmy Choo – i will have this! because i saw one from Charles and Keith! lol!

Done reading? Take a deep breath and continue dreaming :) You’ll never know when Santa’s just around the corner :D

Blind - Lifehouse

I was young but I wasn't naive
I watched helpless as he turned around to leave
and still I have the pain I have to carry
a past so deep that even you could not bury if you tried

after all this time
I never thought we'd be here
never thought we'd be here
when my love for you was blind
but I couldn't make you see it
couldn't make you see it
that I loved you more than you'll ever know
a part of me died when I let you go

I would fall asleep
only in hopes of dreaming
that everything would be like is was before
but nights like this it seems are slowly fleeting
they disappear as reality is crashing to the floor

after all this time
I never thought we'd be here
never thought we'd be here
when my love for you was blind
but I couldn't make you see it
couldn't make you see it
that I loved you more than you'll ever know
a part of me died when I let you go

after all this time
would you ever wanna leave it
maybe you could not believe it
that my love for you was blind
but I couldn't make you see it
couldn't make you see it
that I loved you more than you will ever know
a part of me died when I let you go
and I loved you more than you'll ever know
a part of me dies when I let you go

Wild Wild Wet

Last week, the benipayo's invited us for a Saturday weekend at wild wild wet. Although we were already booked for 5pm for w@w sg EB, we decided to go with them since I have never set foot on that place ever and was bugging dadi to go ever since. I was too excited that I already prepared Cheska's things Thursday evening. It is a first time for the abdon's thus explains the eagerness.

So, last Saturday morning even at an hour and a half late, we still made it. At first I find it a bit expensive for $15 fee but when I saw the place, it was all worth it. Team B (Benipayo team lol) were on time and Alexi is already swimming when we got there. Team A (Abdon hihi) had lunch first then they all went for swim as I'm still on support. It is a bummer but no choice and I wont let it ruin my weekend with my family and friends. At 1:30 I was done supporting and bebe's already asleep so we started with the fun while ate bheng stays with bebe. *I made her go while doing the support so it’s my turn hihihi*

First stop - TSUNAMI: a big pool with waves as if you’re in a sea. And water do taste salty. The salbabidas are free to use of different sizes. I can't seem to get enough of the happiness on mamu's face. She's like a kid lol. So am I. It was so fun!

Second stop - SHIOK RIVER: a long narrow size pool with water flowing like a river. It is really relaxing. Though I must say that I never relax with much excitement on wanting to try everyULAR-LAH rides and attractions and hoping *just now* that bebe would sleep a bit longer hehehe.

Third stop - ULAR-LAH: the closest thing to experience white-water rafting daw and indeed. saya saya!

We went back to our place for a while and found bebe already awake. It was ok as i have enjoyed much of the rides anyway. And I was hoping to have a swim with her. We went to the PROFESSOR’s PLAYGROUND and this is really a good fun for kids of all ages. We tried WATERWORKS with open tube while mamu and ate bheng and bebe were waiting for us at the pool. Ahihihi kakatuwa. Surprisingly, the water isn’t that cold. Longest time I’ve been in water I think lol.

Mamu and ate bheng went back with bebe to finish off. We still went for another last hirit. We went to try SLIDE UP. Waaaaa roller coaster feeling - plunging down a really high ramp accelerating really fast. Kalurky! Parang naiwan puso ko sa ere. Still had a feeling of vertigo after that nerve wracking ride. But I’m proud of myself lol. I’ve always been a coward and to try that kind of ride is really something. But if you ask me again to try it, no way jose. Once is exciting and fun, twice is too much for me to bear as if hugging my own death sentence lol. Ok I’m really exaggerating now. Next ride for us is the SKYRIDER. Imagine monorail on a twin bike. Feeling mary poppin ako hihi. umbrella na lang kulang. But don’t judge it for the way it looks. At first, it might have an impression that it’s boring and really easy. For people who have terrible fear of heights, better stay in the water. Got scared as if we’ll fall down and as if some of those mechanical things will fall off. If this is suppose to be a relaxing ride, they fail to meet my standards lol.  Ok last na, haba na ng post ko. Last ride was the WATERWOKS with close tube. Naman! Uber sa dilim! Can’t see a thing or a single hint of light. Scary but fun hihihi.

That’s about our experience in WWW. It’s a really fun experience for family especially to those who haven’t tried it. We will go back there definitely. All you need to bring are your changing clothes, towel and most important is money. No need to bring food as there’s a lot of choices around. I super like this weekend! Thanks Ninong Dennis / Ninang Che for inviting us. Parang disneyland feeling! And another good thing is, it somehow helped in healing bebe’s rashes. Kelangan pala ihian ang tubig :D

Here’s the wild wild wet link for more info :) Not a promoter or employed by this company. I’m just one very satisfied customer :D

Wondering

At the end of each day, have you ever wonder if, by your actions or joke or words, someone got really hurt or cried? It maybe funny to you but there are some who don't. It's either they are really sensitive or you are insensitive. People like you who knows how to ruin a good day with just a snap of a finger should be pondering on such things.

I so wanted to be out but too scared to take the first step. *sob*

Grrr to the max level

I was suppose to be on call last sunday in case of issues. Since I didnt receive any call, figures I wasn't needed. When I got to office this morning pagsabihan ba ako na dapat tumawag ako to check kung may issue or wala? Eh di ba dapat pag may issue you dont send mail or sms na d naman mababasa? You were suppose to call first then send msg? Ako pa talaga sisihin? Grrr! Halatang halata favoritism. Pulitika talaga. May malipatan lang sana ako. Kakapikon na! Tumaas lang position tumaas na din ere ng hitad. Maging kuto ka lang titirisin kita ng pinong pino!

Apologize for the rant and bad behaviour. Hayyyz!

The long awaited reply from CebuPac

Remember my post 5 months ago with my complaint to cebupac? Well, after 5 long months, they did reply. And I don’t know whether to be happy or grateful with their reply. Sigh!

 

This July, we “have to” take Cebupac again from Manila-Sg. We have to be on the same flight with Ate Bheng as Dadi won’t be coming back with us yet. Sana naman!

Lucky Kids

Few weeks ago, I post a photo of a bottle of shampoo for kids with the disney character on it. I was thinking how lucky kids are nowadays. And just now, saw a family with a baby of about 2 or 3 years, with the netbook in front of her, to entertain her im sure. My inaanak alexi is always entertained when her parents gave her a phone where she can watched elmo or anything. They sure are one lucky generation. I still remember my cousins having the play gun made of wood and rattles made of plastic which Im sure my parents or any parents in that time wouldn't bother checking if it's made in China. I'm sure when the time comes that cheskapot could understand, she'll be annoyed with my sentences like "you're so lucky! back in my days, blah blah". Well to be honest, I am starting now with all her stuffed toys and fisher price toys and branded clothes that are really way too expensive. Lol! I'm not the one buying it. I'm the "nudger" so I still have the right to complain. Good thing the financier is not reading my blog :D

Cocoon

There were phases in our life where we  sometimes felt the feeling of loneliness and emptiness and envy and unappreciated all at the same time for no apparent reason. Or maybe there is. It's just too embarassingly painful to admit - even to yourself. I have had enough moments like this and when I do, I take a step back and retreat in my own cocoon. This helps me think and wallow in my own selfish thoughts - or not. Whatever.
