First night of my first bora trip

We gave ourselves an hour to rest. Then we went to "D Mall", ate our dinner then we looked for our friends.

We were really tired but I managed to walk on my own and look for barbeque. I saw a bunch of fire dancers. Then head back to our hotel. I have to admit after finishing a bottle of wine I was so sleepy.

Oddy is Kaputt!

He never fails me. He never leaves me in the middle of the street begging for help. Unfortunately last Saturday, he can't start. I was the one driving and Schatzy was not there to help. I climbed at the back and looked for the thing that you use to jump start a car. While the rain was pouring hard, there was I skipping poddles so my shoes won't get wet. I thank the guys who helped me. Still, at the back of my mind I was considering Schatzy's offer to replace Oddy. It breaks my heart... but my Oddy is old already... maybe it's time to let go... but I can't... not now.

Arrrgggghhhh!!!!

I want so many things in my life. Yet I am here sitting doing nothing. Things have got to change. It's always been the same. If not now, when? I want change... but am I doing something?

I will do something cause I want to do something. I will do it no matter what. I am determined. NOW! Not tomorrow not later. NOW!

I will not waste my time, cause time is precious. Time is gold. I therefore conclude that if I waste time I will waste GOLD. And GOLD=MONEY. And MONEY changes everything! (Ang labo!)

Hahaha! And yes... I was disappointed awhile ago. But that was awhile ago, not NOW.

what Ondoy left...

Is a lot of mud with a bunch of garbage... There is suppose to be a road there. Now, it's gone. I wonder how many weeks or months it will take to make it clean again.

Done...

I am done with my twilight book. I am very eager to buy the next book which is NEW MOON. The problem is I am a very picky book reader. I cherish the books that I read. My Schatzy and I looked for my twilight book in 4 stores. You see, having a book for me is a privileged. Not all people can read book and can have books. That's what I teach my children. My husband could not understand why I was looking for a hardbound book which is more expensive than the paperback ones. I told him that having books is like having treasure. In time my kids will read this too, like us. And It's like a collection. I explained him that the book itself looks classic. It has silver writings in it's black cover which for me is classy. In time when my kids knows how to read I hope they will read this too.

For him, e-books are more convinient maybe because he is married to his computer (wink! wink! ;)). I don't love staring at the computer. It hurts my eyes. I want to read a book because it can kill time whenever, wherever I am. No brownouts, no lowbatt, no electricity (Meralco and battery suppliers will hate me for this and the environmentalist will love me).As for me, I love to collect it after reading. I love the scent of the paper that makes me relaxed. I like seeing my progress where I am while reading the book. And the thought of hunting it because I wanted a hardbound edition makes me more excited to read it.

WARNING!

The book TWILIGHT must come with a warning. Yup! That's right! It should state there that WARNING! THIS BOOK CAN BE VERY ADDICTING!

My Schatzy bought me a book yesterday afternoon. I started reading it around 5:00pm and I must admit the book was really hard to put down. I was amazed to see my bookmark was placed at the middle of the book. This book must really be good because I am not a book worm or so. And I would watch the movie rather than read it. But this... this book is a different story. My Schatzy and I would never grow tired of talking about it. And the good thing about it he is trying to be like EDWARD. In what way? He would open the car door for me. He would protect me while crossing the street. AHH! Those little things really makes me feel so... KILIG!

So for those people whose not yet starting to read this... well, I'll won't spill the beans but something about the book.

• At first, there was a slight difference between the book and the movie.


• A character was introduced at once in the movie but not in the book.


• I understood the book more than the movie. haha.


• The part where Bella said "About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him - I didn't know how dominant that part might be- that thirsted for my blood. And third, I WAS UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY IN LOVE WITH HIM. " made me read the phrase again and again. Mga 3 times lang.


• Where they said the Title's meaning at the very middle of the story page 232.


• My Schatzy would always ask why the picture is a hand with an apple. I have a conclusion for that now.


• OSTENTANIOUS is a word used more than once.

Well, I'll leave it like that. I NEED to read now. (NEED in all caps because I don't want to read but I have the urge to read it so the word need is used. Hahaha)

Frustrated

That's what I feel today. We live in a condo and there is a set of rules. Today, I played with my son. I forced him to go down to play with me. I wanted my son to learn how to play PATINTERO but we ended playing tag. We were so happy not until the guard in a very rudely manner told me that "Ma'am hindi po kayo pwede tumakbo d2BAWAL!" I answered "KUYA baka pwede naman humingi ng bagong set of rules nyo kse hindi ko alam eh." "Nandun yan sa binigay na kontrata ng cityland."

I got so angry. I went up to our house got my contract and went down to the guard and tell me where is that line so I can tell myself that I was wrong! So, I could slap my face and tell myself why I said yes to my husband in buying this property!

He was arguing still. I kept on telling him. "Basahin mo sa akin kung nasan yun ng maliwanagan ako at baka tatanga tanga lang ako at di ko naintindihan." "He kept on saying "Eh ma'am yun ang sabi sakin eh. Nung nadistino kmi yun ang sinabi samin." I told him again."Nasan nga?" The other guard came to his rescue. (Aaminin ko mabait yung guard na yun hindi ko na magawang magalit.) I just told him. Sabihin nyo sa admin yung sinasabi nyo na yun ha at pagsabihan mo tong kasama mo na mangsita ng maayos. Ma'am eto po yung part na yun (reffering to the said article we have been talking about). I told them that when they try to sell us the place they said kids were allowed to play and it is conducive for kids to play outside. I told them that I am frustrated. I am very frustrated.

As I write this, my tears started to fall. My son came to me and hugged me. I said sorry. I didn't know that living in a condo is like living in a cage.

Shows for kids

I am a kid at heart! I love watching cartoons especially with my little hero, Jazer.


Little Einstiens is one cartoon that I would not deprive my son to watch. He started watching baby Einstein and he learned a lot from it. He just outgrown it and now he wants LITTLE EINSTEINS! It is really cool because he learns different arts from famous painters like Luther Van Gogh, symphony no. 9 music by Antonin Dvorak. Grabe who the hell are they! Ahaha! And I love their curtain call. Mission completion!


Another is Wonder pets and Go Diego go! Hehehe. You and your kids will learn about animals. One time, the wonder pets saved the hermit crab. I never knew that when they grow they leave their old shell behind and look for a new one. Hay! I thought they are like turtles. Good thing I was watching with my son.

And Dora, although a girl, I know it will not affect my son’s sexuality. (hahaha, Ano ba yun!) My son knows a lot of Spanish words and can count up to 10 diyes. He even loves learning new languages because of Dora. He counts in English, Spanish, German, Arabic (still learning thanks to Jheng!), and Tagalog (up to 5 lang).


There are some shows that I don’t want my son to watch. One of them is Winnie the pooh. It’s not that I don’t like the bear with the hanging shorts and who doesn’t know his sexuality. It is just that I watched him one time. He/she was asked several questions and all he said was “I DON”T KNOW”. Now my son answers me every time I ask him I don’t know. Shocks! Talk about bad influence.

And the show Noddy. According to my best friend bad daw yung si Noddy. Hehe. So I took her word for it. One time tried to watch it. The theme was about someone stealing. Eh wag na nga lang. My son’s age cannot absorb such things yet.

The number 1 NONO show is SPONGE BOB! (Sorry sa mga favorite si Sponge Bob!) He is stupid. And my son won’t learn anything good from him. Hehe. Tsaka Sponge bob picks his nose! Yuck talaga! Good thing Jazer isn’t interested in him.

couture baby bags!

Weee! I am so girly na talaga... from my nike-all-gear to stiletto-wedge shoes. Now I want a baby bag that's so stylish. Before, I just want a nike gym bag to put all the things I need fo my baby, now I find myself checking the internet for stylish baby bags...







here's what I found:



If you want to check for more try http://www.tuttibella.com/diaper-bags.html



Then I have searched for something local and it's even cheaper and cute! http://www.shopcrazy.com.ph/2006/07/12/baby-couture/



Here are some samples! I'm planning to buy one.

Feel like I'm having a girl...

In my first child, the moment I saw his first ultrasound (as liittle as a pea) I knew that he is a boy. But right now, I am unsure of my little pumpkin's (my name for our 2nd child) gender.

I just had a hunch when I was eyeing for a lifesize little mermaid doll that this will be a girl. Then I wanted to buy a mint green socks with ribbon for christmas. Hehehe.

Now, I'm looking where to buy this...

If you know any place where I can buy this please tell me. Thanks!

Forced Job Hunting?

I always get depressed when my Mader would always force me to work. I don't know why at my age they would still interfere with my decisions.

Here are my reasons:

1. I want to spend time with my family. (yung di ko naranasan nung bata ako)
2. My kid is growing fast. He will never be a child again.
3. I am pregnant for heaven's sake.
4. I don't have a yaya/househelp. It is like working 24/7 without pay.
5. I am happy this way.

I don't know how I can make her realize that my family needs me. When I work, my mind flies. I want to be with my family because it's very different when kids grow up with their parents. I am not good in time management (aminado nman ako dun.)

If ever I am going to work again... It has to be:

1. Something that I love doing.
2. Something that will require 3-4 times a week work only. Part-time job.
3. A job that will require lots of traveling. ehehehe.

That's just it! I just wish she would not force me right now. I don't wanna get stressed.

I'm a shoe addict!

Never did I realize that I'm a shoe addict, until I was packing away the shoes beacuse we are moving to our new house.

I saw most of my shoes have high heels. High heels gives me a good posture because the heels remind me to straighten my back. The kind of heels mostly found in the shoes that I'm wearing are stiletoes (which makes me feel sexy when I'm wearing it) and wedge (for my casual look). One of my favourite material is suede.

The realization happened when my family and I was strolling megamall to look for a nice sofa that would compliment our new house. I would always stop them to look inside and check out the shoes. One of the stores we stopped by is NINEWEST. I saw this red suede open toed shoes with stilleto heels and fell in love with it. I said to my self that I would buy that after I gave birth and wear it to my baby's baptism. I searched the internet so I would have a picture of it to remind me that I would buy that. Here it is! Pink nga lang yung nasa internet. You can even look for other styles in http://www.ninewest.com/.

Grabe! Simple yet stylish. DIBA! DIBA!

Then I asked my husband to buy a shoe for himself. (La pa ko work kaya ayan pinilit ko sya bilhan ang sarili nya ng shoes. It's a bit expensive shoe, pero nman he deserves to have one like that. He works hard and I told him that's his gift for himself for doing a great job. (kung may work lang ako binili ko na sa kanya talaga. After a month of nagging him and teasing him na ted "kuripot! palibhasa gusto mo pirated shoes" he finally bought the shoe. Hehehe. And he was happy about it. I am happier. Talagang mega gatong ako na.... Kung ako nagbabasketball binili ko na yan sa sarili ko. hehehe. Here's the shoe.

If you want to see more shoes check out http://www.nike.com.ph/

For local shoes I like Janilyn, Itti, and Janeo. Grabe one thing I noticed it's the heel of the shoe that I look for and not the shoe itself hehehe.
