TIME DOES FLY

So much has been happening that I don't have time to really sit down and blog about anything. I do have time to post pictures. But even that is so limited. I have to back track and see what I have been doing these past months.

I stayed up til 4:30am watching the live telecast of Michael Jackson's Memorial service. I couldn't help but cry when Paris said those simple words. I'm sure everyone else did. It reminded me of my own Pappy's internment mass where I had to say a few words afte. We all know that Michael's legacy will live on forever. At least once in my life, I was able to watch a Michael Jackson Concert. It was 10 years ago or more even. MJ Rest In Peace. Heal the World.

NEW MOON!

WTFA!!!

The other day Tita MC told me that I shouldn't write what the ass does. Apparently, she reads my blog. I'm sorry Tita but I have to vent out or else another vain in my brain will pop again. My last entry about this was February 23, 2009. I said that I was wondering when the ass will finally get kicked out for all the lying and crap that we have to live with? Well it happened last Monday but puneta it only lasted for 4 freaking days! Now the ass is back here. Fuck! I'm going to get so hot tempered and hell is going to break loose again. See, that's the problem with my mom. She gives in so easily and that ass knows that he has my mom wrapped around his fat finger. His fat finger that is literally inside his short/pants scratching his ass all the time! The helpers have a funny skit they do of him scratching his ass. He is the laughing stock of the household. The cook is going on vacation next week and dear God I hope she still comes back knowing that the ass is back here. Mamomoblema nanaman of what food to cook. Mounds of rice again and cans of processed food. Shit, now I feel bad that I did the grocery knowing that it's just all going to go to that ass.

The past few days that the ass was not here, we had pleasant dinners, no food went to waste, no extra cooking, it was bliss. No porn windows popping out while I work, no loud computer games, (I should really tell the neighbors to file a report already. Baka they are just dyahe. They already did once of twice. They should do it again.) no electric fans left opened, no bashing of ice in the middle of the night, and the list goes on. I wonder how much water we saved since the ass was not here? Tons I bet, no bidet left on while he takes a crap. See, no one believes me when I say these things. Well, they better, because I'm not going to stop until that ass REALLY gets kicked out of the house. Please NOT 4 days. Make it an eternity.

Before my father passed away, he sent this text message to my mom saying that I had finally visited him and forgiven him and that now he will work on the ass. Well, maybe my Pappy knew it was a hopeless case and died anyway. Of course he knew it was a hopeless case.

Does this mean that I have to start looking for places to stay?

BABYLEGS - What would you do for Love?

"BabyLegs LLC has grown from one mom’s diaper bag essential to an essential product for all. They began as a solution to keep little legs warm, and now the uses are endless! Nicole Donnelly, then a stay-at-home mom, created BabyLegs to keep her dear daughter, Sara’s, little legs warm, while she was diaper free to allow bad rashes to heal. This impromptu invention not only allowed Sara’s rash to heal, but also protected her from many elements, made diaper changes quick and easy, kept her knees protected while crawling, and provided sun protection. Beyond all of these benefits, the leg warmers were also very fashionable. After numerous inquiries from other moms about where Donnelly found the little leg warmers, she began selling her invention out of a diaper bag, and the popularity of BabyLegs spread quickly throughout the community. BabyLegs can now be found in over 50 countries from Israel to Chile to Iceland. That is our rash to riches story – we hope you enjoy our sweet BabyLegs. - Sara & Nicole"

I really wish I had gotten into this sooner. I didn't see the need since we live in a tropical country. But BabyLegs are lightweight and surprisingly cool. Thanks to Indigo Baby, I was able to get hold of some. Also my clients have been ordering too. Below are the versatile BabyLegs Luis has and uses. We take them when we watch a movie but more so in school. Because Luis is almost 10 years old, I couldn't get those adorable and cute colors for him. Hehehe.

Believe me there are tons of colors and designs to choose from. Better yet check out my website and see how you can avail of these musy haves. - click here . Enjoy!

...I Miss This Spot...

I miss this spot. I miss blogging about my days whether good or bad. Just haven't had the time. Been so busy with orders and now a new venture. It's good in the sense that I am busy right. Making a little profit to get by.

It's summer for Luis and he has taken up digital photography and started Spanish lessons. Of course he still has his tennis twice a week. Keeps us all busy having to work around driver schedules, play groups and the works. There hasn't been much of a MVA playgroup which as dissipated over the months. I still get to see one or two MVA Mommas as one has even started to half stable Jive.
Speaking of Jive, there has been a slight change in grooming services. Nanding is no longer my groom but he has said that he will still help me get on leaving the rest to my new groom Odong. Imagine after more than 10 years. I have to get used to it I guess. Jive has been a real sweetheart to the kids and students of T. Marivic, I see in their faces the content and after they have ridden that they had a good ride. That's my baby. Just going about her business but she demands her carrots! Wow, her eyes light up and at full alert when she knows she is getting her carrots.

I'm happy that the vitamins that we are giving her is working. Jive has gained weight. have to build up her muscles though. Need a good rider to do that through. Lex? Hehehe. Luis kisses and hugs Jive when he sees her. My sweety.

Don't ask me about going out or my social life because I don't go out. Mostly all family gatherings composed of dinners and lunches. That's why I'm so fat! Hahaha. Anyway, gotta get back to work. Adios!

GOING NATURAL

A long long time ago, my mom had this book about recycling. It was a nice picture book and interesting indeed. Something like 50 Ways to Safe the Earth. This was 20 years ago. I have always appreciated nature and animals, except cats, in general and always wanted to care for the earth. Life in general gets too busy that we ignore the "world" around us. It's only the recent years that this explosion of recycling, all natural, organic and have started doing little things to help save the earth. has become a "trend" so to speak. Like most know, that my life changed 10 years ago, I have become more aware of the environmental issues we face today because I have a 10 year old son who will inherit this earth and the future generations to come. I figured that the best way to start is always with yourself and later extend to those around you and so forth. Although, I'm not going to be a hypocrite and start being a vegetarian and live on tofu alone. I still want my guilty pleasures and be happy. I still want my Quarter Pounder with Cheese and the like. I still want my Adobo, Kare-kare, Crispy Pata, ect once in a while. =). Live a little as many would say.

A little more than a year ago, I have made the switch in going natural in my every day grooming and cleaning. It has taken some time but I have found the products that suit my skin type and knowing that it's not harmful to the environment, it makes me feel good that I am helping in whatever way I can.

SUMMER is HERE

I have been so busy with my Multiply site that I have ignored this one. Boohoo!

LET'S DO OUR PART in SAVING OUR EARTH.

EARTH HOUR!

Start:	Mar 28, '09 8:30p
End:	Mar 28, '09 9:30p
Location:	Manila, Philippines

The lights will go off for one hour on March 28 at 8:30 pm in key cities in the Philippines and all over the world. It's called Earth Hour.

This lights-out initiative, which began in Sydney in 2007 as a one-city environmental campaign, has evolved into a grassroots action that has attracted worldwide attention. In 2008, 371 cities across 35 countries turned their lights out in a united call for action on climate change and energy conservation. Global landmarks – such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, Rome's Colosseum, and the Coca Cola billboard in Times Square – all stood in darkness, symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.

Earth Hour 2009 aims to reach one billion people in 1,000 cities all over the world. To help reach this goal, a global sign-up campaign and competition is again being launched worldwide. Last year, the Philippines ranked 9th in terms of total sign-ups. All Filipinos are urged to sign up at Earth Hour's global website: http://www.earthhour.org. Earth Hour Philippines 2009 hopes to involve 10 million Filipinos and 500 businesses in key cities across the country.
Earth Hour 2009 is a global call to action to every individual, every business, and every community. It is a call to stand up, to take responsibility, and to get actively involved in working towards a sustainable future. People across the world will turn off their lights and join together in creating a vital conversation about the future of our precious planet.

The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), the Green Army Philippines Network, and the SWITCHmovement have joined hands with the Department of Energy to spread public awareness of the Earth Hour message to cities and communities all over the country.

To receive news updates and event schedules, one can register one's cellphone number by sending the following message to 5777 for both Smart and Globe users: green reg firstname middleinitial lastname. Example: green reg Juan/C/De la Cruz.

"2009 is a destiny year for the entire planet," declared Lory Tan, President and CEO of WWF-Philippines."This is the year that we decide the future of humanity. Earth Hour is a message of hope and action and we hope it sends a powerful message to both local and world leaders. It is a global movement that proves that each one of us can make a difference. Imagine what we can do if we act together."

Recognizing the vital role of the energy community—particularly in terms of sustainable electric power generation, clean transport fuels, and best energy practices across sectors—DOE Secretary Angelo T. Reyes expressed full support for Earth Hour. "This grassroots initiative is an opportunity for individuals from all corners of the globe to unite and, in a single voice, highlight the urgent need for dramatic lifestyle changes and best energy practices to save our planet. This is a cause that should unite us as Filipinos and as citizens of the world."

The first step is just turning off a light.



Please pass....

...Ho-hum..

As seen from recent posts, it's mostly about business. For obvious reasons, I need moolah to sustain needs and caprichos. Aside from that, helping out fellow Stay-at-Home-Yummy-Mummies. Plus I genuinely believe in all the products since I have tried and tested them. =)

In the not so personal aspect of my life and that of my dear son's, nothing much has really been happening. It's the usual schedule that we keep. Because of the financial turmoil that we are all in, I try to limit my spending and going out, meaning grocery shopping on a need-only basis with a few cheap stuff thrown in. Although needed, but not entirely will-not-survive-without-it, is my PT or physiotherapy. Makati Med Rehab has raised thier prices and I find it too steep. In other words, I haven't been going. I didn't go today. I would rather have a hour and a half masahe actually. Which reminds me that I have to call the gym and Barangay Clinic regarding thier schedule. If I can get it for free why not right??

Which leads me to my present dilema. The person half-stabling Jive has written me a letter saying that this will be her last month for stabling Jive. I always ask for a month or two notice for termination just so that it will give me ample time to find another person to stable Jive. Which I believe is the right thing to do. Right??I hope things will turn out for the better. I can't afford full stabling of Jive... NOT at ALL! =(... poor baby.

AM I MISSING OUT?

I don't go out anymore. My life has been Luis, home, Polo, PT, and the grocery. By the end of the day, going out is the last thing on my mind. Dialing for my masahista beats any going out, a lot cheaper too. As people know, I hardly check my Facebook account. I only check for pictures and that's basically it. I find it too chaotic. Too many things going on. I have been having family dinners, lunches, merienda cenas, and everything else with food in it. It makes me happy but I wonder if I'm missing out on being a 30-something single mom. I see my friend's pictures and they seem to be out all the time. They have kids too, three even, and yet they have time to be out all the time. My best bud and constant companion now is my 9 year old son. No doubt about it, we have a blast all in the comforts of my room. It's like we have room service on a daily basis since my mom eats out all the time. In a week, she only has dinner here once or twice at the most. I don't know where she gets the energy.

It's a known fact that if my mom or dad can't stay with Luis, I don't leave him. I guess now, I really have no one to leave Luis with since my mom is out all the time and obviously my dad is no longer around. I'm on the net 24/7 practically checking on my small business, looking around for more things or services to resell and just surfing. Although, I must admit, I'm having a hard time with the puny laptop that does not have the programs I need for basic desktop publishing. I wonder when I'll get my own laptop finally? How many bottles of this and that will I need to sell?

I'm missing all these movies that I can watch for FREE but I don't really have a regular person or group to watch movies with. My dear friend who is usually the easiest to take to the movies with me is and will be bedridden until she gives birth. We used to have 2 drivers but one was let go since my dad passed away. The one that got left behind goes home every Tuesdays and Thursdays and will ask for overtime pay if I use him after 8pm. Wtf?! After a certain time at night, the helpers retreat to their 3rd floor attic and disappear afraid that the ass is going to make them utos this and that especially if my mom is not at home. So after cleaning and washing duties, 4 of them scramble away like ants, even running up the stairs 2 or 3 steps at a time just to avoid the ass.

Speaking of the ass, my cousins and I planned a beach trip to Montemar last December. On the 9th day of my dad's Novena prayers, the ass was so loud and planning this and that about going to the beach. Dang, when I overheard him, right away, my brain switched off and deleted any beach trip planning even though I was in charge of the e-group site. 2 days before the beach trip, my mom asks the ass if he was going, he said NO! Putang ina! I swear I wanted to kill him! I am not one to use swear words in my daily vocab but when I do ohboy! stay clear. I could have gone but it's not that easy for me to just pack up and go. I have to plan. It just goes to show that ANYTHING that comes out from the asses mouth is PURE BULL and ALL for SHOW! It was my fault that I tuned off as soon as I heard the news that the ass was going, I should have made the bookings, and really plan. Next time. Shit! Inisahan ako.

You should see the maids' faces when they find out that my mom, Luis and I are eating out. It's like "Maam! Help US!" It's like they really want my mom to have dinner at home. The cook especially. Why won't anyone believe me that that ass needs mental help?! My mom is obviously in denial all the time. She was hynotized by that ass some way. See it's 2:36am and guess what I can smell some canned good being cooked. It's either luncheon meat or something. Puneta, if that ass denies it, tang...!! Hell will break loose again. Then again, the more processed meats that ass eats the faster he will die!! Yay! Doesn't my mom see that NO ONE wants to be with that ass? Doesn't my mom see that NO ONE pays attention to him at all?? Everyone thinks he is an ass any way. hay... useless! Really useless. I pray that he gets kicked out of the house SOON!!!!!

GOSH! It's Been Ages

I haven't had time to blog about anything really. I haven't even finished my post about my dad. =(. So many things happening (non-stop eating, dinners and lunches!) All I would really talk about would be FOOD! Hahaha!. Other than that it would be the weekly grind I have. Pick up Luis from school, take him to tennis, hang out with T. Marivic (riding), give Jive her carrots, PT, grocery, cooking, my Wednesday Day-Off, and in between my small business. =) I don't even go out anymore. This afternoon, i took a swig of white wine while cooking Mushroom Risotto and I got dizzy!!! Hahaha.

Now that my dad is gone, I realized that I have no one to leave Luis with if ever I go out at night. Usually, Pappy stays home all the time and I was sure that he would be with Luis. My mom is always out which is good for her but wow, her social life is off the roof. I get tired knowing that she is always out. Believe me, she has not eaten dinner here at home more than 5 times a week. I wish I could have a life like that. Although, I know she misses my dad.Well, we all do. We just have our way of coping.

That other thing that lives here too is impossible. Just because my dad is no longer around, it does NOT mean that the RULES have changed. See, one guy was banned from coming over. The same day, weekend, that my dad passed away, that guy was practically living here. The next weekend, he was here again, even sleeping in that ass' car. Gross!! Gosh, I can go on and on with what that ass P has been doing. Worst now since he knows that he has my mom wrapped around his finger. Ha! With 8 other people plus Luis and I, I really HOPE and WISH that my mother will FINALLY see and believe what that ass is about. He may get away with murder with my mom, NOT with me and 8 other people watching. I have gone to lengths of even telling my mom's sisters and sisters-in-law to what that ass does! I have been openly sharing with my cousins every things that ass has been doing and will be doing. How I wish we had surveillance cameras all over the house just so that my mom will FINALLY believe me.

Like I said, I am not going to stop and I am known to be very very stubborn. =)

I have missed all my fav TV shows. I just have to wait for the marathon dvds! yay!

Gotta catch some zzzzs. Be safe! Be good.

CHRISTMAS CHRISTMAS TIME IS HERE...

Time for joy and time for cheer... I don't know the rest of the song. Hahaha. It's been a crazy month. I must admit that I have been sucked into the Twilight Saga phenomenal only because I read all 4 books (Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, & Breaking Dawn) and Twilight 2x and watched the movie giddily 4x, once even by myself. Thus, not much blogging rather, as you have seen in previous posts, clips from the movie literally taking to heart Edward's heart melting lines. C'mon who wouldn't want that in a man?? I'm just being honest here. I don't care if it's baduy. Hahaha. Like I said, I get my kicks wherever I can.

The Lifeline ambulance and paramedics have been a frequent sight on my street, especially on our driveway. My Pappy (dad) has been in and out of the hospital almost every month and this month twice even. Each confinement is due to new symptoms, new findings, and complications. It has come to the point that confinement is just like a regular check up. Today, I woke up finding my mom in shorts and her Crocs fixing up the library or the computer hall. But wait!? Today is a Sunday, a sacred golf day for my mom, that is why we attend mass on Saturday nights, what is she doing home? I was not surprised when she said that my dad was hospitalized again. Ah ok... Just going about our daily routines. In fact, Luis and I were getting ready for a birthday party in Quezon City, while my mom and her yaya were packing for yet another hospital sleepover or like 2 weeks ago, 1 week stay. My poor mom had to sleep in the hospital with my dad not ever coming home. Well, I know and we know her reasons. So be it.

I have to thank on-line shopping for making this Christmas semi-stress free. Yup, almost all the gifts I gave were via on-line local multiply shopping sites. Yipee! My stress was from something and someone else!!! Haha!!

One night in the hospital, while having dinner with my family, I get a call from a disgruntled parent who was shocked by what my son said. In fact it was a YM message between my son and another boy. So, my question was, what was that disgruntled father doing reading a message between two boys, and NOT his daughter in the first place? Because the message was checked and opened in his house, he had the right to read it? Hmm, I don't think so. So, yes, I admit that whatever my son typed to his friend was downright wrong in all aspects and my son was reprimanded for his actions, all I can really do and will do is apologize for what my on said. Nothing more. Nothing less. However, this father wanted more from me. I think he wanted me to apologize to his daughter for implicating her name. Ha!?! Over my dead body. Why? Because this father does NOT have a clue of what his daughter had done to my son through the years which I kept mum about and just explained and talked to my son instead. My son has chosen NOT to be friends with this girl anymore. In fact, I believe it was just after school started. It's been months since. I think this girl couldn't take the fact that my son has chosen to ignore her completely despite calling him here at home, or on his cellphone. So what does she do? She sends him a YM message and still he ignores her. My son is so fed up with her games and with her just wanted to ignore her. But the pestering did not stop which probably provoked my son to say those insulting words. He couldn't say it to her face so he expressed his anger and frustration through his friend. Unfortunately, this uptight father saw it. You know what, I think this daughter showed it to her father to get my son into trouble because clearly, she was being ignored. She can't take being ignored. She will do anything to get what she wants at the expense of others. So, after a lengthy, voice raising, name calling, conversation between the father and I, he chose NOT to be friends with me anymore. Do you think I even care?! Thank GOD he is out of our lives. Every one knows that when one provokes me, and has tested my very short temper, they are going to get it from me no matter how it cuts deep in your gut. I will tell them the truth even though it hurts. Believe me, my dear parents are the number one victims of my lashing out. Gosh, I didn't even hit the tip of the iceberg with what I said about his precious little spoiled brat daughter. Hahahahaha! I didn't waste my time having to explain to him or defend my son. I don't have to do that at all. Sayang lang laway ko. =)

In all good will, I apologized to the mother, who is my friend, for what my son said. Again, that was it. I even said that, whatever happened between her husband and I, I hope it didn't change our friendship. As for the husband, to hell with him. End of story. I said or she said that we would just see each other in the party the following day. Good. Done.

Luis' school chose 20 kids to perform and join the Rockwell Mall "I heart Xmas competition". The ages of the kids ranged from the 1st grade to the 4th. Luis was the only 4th grader. December 6 was the first performance and won 2nd place. Two weeks later, Rockwell asked Esteban to sing again. A special performance before the main competition. The night before the competition, not thinking of it as anything major, Luis got invited to my tita's office Christmas party. Fine. I let him. He got home at midnight. That night too was my titos birthday and we had mass and merienda cena with the relatives here at home. Also, it was Magallanes Group Christmas party.

During the party the other moms were laughing so hard about something that I didn't catch on since I arrived late. As soon as I caught on the conversation, I got shocked and started laughing too. PLB was going to have a "concert" the following day and was not allowed to do or eat or drink anything that will ruin her voice. I seriously thought that i was some major concert and truly, i was happy for her. But when I realized what "concert" they were pertaining too, I couldn't help but join in laughing spree. It was the same MALL singing competition that my son was singing in. Hahahahahaha! Geez, all the hype for what??? Ok fine, I'm glad that PLB's school placed 2nd place in the grand finals. I mean, Luis' school was just a special guest, but for God's sake, it's just a friendly Christmas performance in the center of the mall with a cash prize for grabs, not a freaking CONCERT!!! Well, like I said, I have my ways too. I did NOT mention a single word to the mother of PLB that Luis was singing in the same "concert". I just let their jaws drop when Luis was on stage with the rest of his school. Mother of PLB greeted me as expected, where do you think Father of the PLB was?? Nowhere in site. Hahahaha. I was sitting in the 2nd row bench, he didn't dare pass my way. I did not involve my son either, he was just as surprise that PLB was there too. Well, didn't bother to watch PLB either besides, 530pm mass was more important.

The usual pre-Christmas festivities, lunch with my mother's side clan, mass, noche buena, and Christmas Day Dinner with my father's side. (Will write about this next time)

Yesterday, the usual Saturday afternoon, I get a call/text from my neighbor saying that she is craving for this new tuna grille restaurant that just opened right outside our village. Food?! I'm there! So we agreed that we would meet after I go to mass at 530 and eat to our hearts delight. Also, so that her son and my son can finally see each other. Turn of events blindly flashed before my eyes. PLB was so irritatingly calling, texting, and whatever ways of communicating she knows of, to get a hold (or should I say suffocatingly) of my neighbor's son. To the point that neighbor's son didn't mention where he and his mother was having dinner even though he knew the truth. PLB not contented, made her mother call neighbor, asking for neighbor's son to play with her. Neighbor, being honest, said that she was meeting my son and I for an early dinner. In fact, mother of PLB was invited too but mother of PLB made stupid excuses of why she couldn't go. What excuse? Because PLB and Mother of PLB are allergic to tuna or any seafood. GEEZ!!! There is always Pork Chops!!! Hahahaha! So fine, I didn't want any of them ruining my dinner either. What really got to me was that, MPLB (I'm sure you have caught on), said this "Kumain kayo ni Bettina sa labas pero iwanan mo sa akin si (name of son)" (Sure, eat out with Bettina, but leave your son with me.)

What the fuck?! MPLB and PLB are really doing this not making my son and neighbor's son see or play with each other on purpose. Just because MPLB knows that my son and neighbor's son are going to see each other without the fucking PLB around, she will "steal" neighbor's son. Prior note: These kids all grew up together. It's just that my son goes to a different school. Fact: PLB and neighbor's son are classmates. In fact, seatmates!! So why can't my son spend time with neighbor's son at all??? They haven't seen each other in months. WHY?? Because Precious Little Brat and Mother are conniving little shits. It's all in the family!!! So, what happened? Neighbor, Luis, and I had a sumptuous meal together, had coffee at Starbucks, and walked home. My son felt bad that he didn't see his friend but at least he didn't complain, whine and cry out his lungs with fake tears. Luis did ask tita neighbor to call his friend. Guess what, PLB wouldn't allow him to see my son. So neighbor's son was trapped! Neighbor was already distraught because her son really wanted to eat where we ate and really wanted to have a Starbucks Frap. On the way home, Luis even thought of showing up in PLB's doorstep. Hahaha. We should have to give them a heart attack. Like I said, I have my ways.... Hahaha. Well, seriously, I will NOT stoop down to their level. Gosh, if only you knew the horror stories I have seen, witnessed, done to, about this set of immature people, you will truly understand everything.

Phew...well that's off my chest. Ignore. Ignore. Ignore. So, how were your holidays?

Leave Out All the Rest

I dreamed I was missing

You were so scared

But no one would listen

Cause no one else cared

After my dreaming

I woke with this fear

What am I leaving

When I'm done here

So if you're asking me

I want you to know

When my time comes

Forget the wrong that I've done

Help me leave behind some

Reasons to be missed

And don't resent me

And when you're feeling empty

Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest

Leave out all the rest

Don't be afraid

I've taken my beating

I've shared what I made

I'm strong on the surface

Not all the way through

I've never been perfect

But neither have you

So if you're asking me

I want you to know

When my time comes

Forget the wrong that I've done

Help me leave behind some

Reasons to be missed

Don't resent me

And when you're feeling empty

Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest

Leave out all the rest

Forgetting

All the hurt inside

You've learned to hide so well

Pretending

Someone else can come and save me from myself

I can't be who you are

When my time comes

Forget the wrong that I've done

Help me leave behind some

Reasons to be missed

Don't resent me

And when you're feeling empty

Keep me in your memory

Leave out all the rest

Leave out all the rest

Forgetting

All the hurt inside

You've learned to hide so well

Pretending

Someone else can come and save me from myself

I can't be who you are

I can't be who you are

IT's FRIDAY I'M ... InLoVe? Hahaha!

It's my parents' 39th year wedding anniversary today. Yikes and congrats! They made it this far. Just like any relationship, there are mountains, hills, and valleys to trek through. But once you surpass it, anything that gets thrown at you would be an easy catch.

I'm suppose to be at the Recyclers Fair now but ever since that Furosato semi food poisoning my stomach easily gets upset...you know the three letter abbreviation that ends with a "M". Hahaha. With no immediate bathroom near by, I don't think I can risk it. Hahaha.

It's a long day ahead. Have to pick up Luis from school, take him to tennis, go riding, rush home and get ready for dinner. I still have the morning time to kill...

I have a confession, I watched Twilight for the 3rd time yesterday while waiting for Luis to get out of school. I watched alone too. The theatre was not full which was good. Then again, many people were watching by themselves. So I didn't feel so left out. You don't even feel that 2 hours and 5 minutes passed by. I love Rockwell.

I had breakfast already...hmm...nap time? Hahaha.

DAY OFF WEDNESDAYS

Since I lent my New Moon book to Monica, I had to skip it and move on to Eclipse as my night cap read. I'm telling you everything is better the second time around. Of course now I have Robert Pattinson in my head every time I read the name Edward. Yeah yeah yeah it's juvenile for a 32 year old to be rereading this series again...but you know what...I don't care. I'm enjoying myself and that is what counts. Honestly, I'm itching to watch the movie for the 3rd time. Maybe tomorrow while waiting for my son to finish his caroling practice for Rockwell Christmas thingy. Anyone want to watch with me?

Luis came to my room even before our 6:45am bell rang all dressed up for school. He confessed to me that he didnt do his homework and was waiting for my mom to help him out. My mom came home at around midnight. Well, Luis knows not to ask me for help when it comes to anything resembling math equations, so the poor thing did his work early morning before school. Talk about trained. Hahaha... I should feel guilty because I was not able to help him but I'm not... because I wouldnt know how to teach him either. Oh well. Waiting for him now...

I'm missing so many of my US Episodes because my uTorrent is acting up. I shouldn't have replaced my old version to a newer one. Dang!!! Oh well... there goes my day off Wednesdays.

A Normal Guy vs Edward Cullen

A Normal Guy vs Edward Cullen

A normal guy would say: “I love you Baby!”
Edward Cullen would say: “You are my life now.”

Normal Guy would say: “I think I am falling for you.”
Edward Cullen would say: “The Lion fell in Love with the Lamb”

Normal Guy would say: “You hair looks like a haystack; go brush it!”
Edward Cullen would say: “Your hair looks like a haystack but I like it.”

A normal guy would pick a random song from a random artist and dedicate it to you.
Edward Cullen would sing you a song he wrote for you while playing the piano.

If you die, a normal guy would find another.
If you die, Edward would kill himself cause life without you isn’t worth living.

“Well, I wasn’t going to live without you..” He rolled his eyes as if that fact were childishly obvious. “..but I wasn’t sure how to do it. I knew Emmet and Jasper would never help so I was thinking maybe I would go to Italy and do something to provoke the Volturi.”

As you leave the house, a normal guy would say: “Bye, see ya!”
As you leave the house Edward Cullen would say: “Come back to me, love.”

He smiled my favorite smile. “Hurry back to me.”
“Always.”

As you come back to the house, a normal guy would be watching TV and wouldn’t even notice.
As you come back to the house, Edward Cullen would be welcoming you by playing the piano with a song just for you.

“I heard the music before I was out of the car. Edward hadn’t touched his piano since the night Alice left. Now, as I shut the door, I heard the song morph through a bridge and change into my lullaby. Edward was welcoming me home.’

A normal guy would wait for you to make him breakfast.
Edward Cullen would make you breakfast everyday.

While you are both out for dinner, a normal guy wouldn’t keep his eyes off the sexy waitress.
Edward Cullen wouldn’t even notice the waitress was a female.

A normal guy , while driving, would keep one hand on the wheel and one hand on the radio.
Edward Cullen , while driving, would keep one hand on the wheel and the other attached to yours.

While far apart in different places, a normal guy would say: “I miss you.”
While far apart in different places, Edward Cullen would say: “It’s like you’ve taken half myself with you”

A normal guy wouldn’t care or notice if you had nightmares.
Edward Cullen would sing until your nightmares went away.
“Do you want me to sing to you? I’ll sing all night if it will keep the bad dreams away.”

A normal guy does it with everyone.
Edward Cullen only does it with one .

A normal guy buys you flowers and chocolates.
Edward Cullen buys you a car.

A HECTIC DRAMATIC WEEK

I'm still breathless from the week that went. Saturday was Ninong Dachi's 40th day and T. May's birthday. So there was mass and dinner in Alabang. Sunday, it was T. Bambi's birthday this time. Before getting picked up by T. Lou and Chachi, I was just informed that someone was just killed a a street away from our house. Yikes! My mom played golf as always. Pappy opted not to go because he was not feeling well. Late that night, as I was about to sleep, my mom comes knocking on my door frantic asking for the emergency, 16-911. Pappy's blood sugar was so low that he was hypoglycemic, he was slurring and I believe even lost his sight. Thank God that I had a bottle of pineapple juice in the ref. My uncle's midwife was frantic looking for the bottle of juice which was nowhere to be found. The cook and helpers hid it from that baboy because we all know that he would finish it not thinking that it's emergency juice for my pappy. Stupid ass! Anyway, my pappy was really hallucinating and even crying. Scary! It's was a good thing that the ambulance came in time. When the ambulance came, my pappy didn't understand why the ambulance was there. That's how disoriented he was. The ambulance took my pappy and mommy to the hospital and I went to sleep.

Would you believe that when I woke up Monday, my pappy was off to work? As if nothing happened. The usual Monday wherein I pick up Luis from school and take him to tennis. I stopped by the stables and hung around with T. Marivic and Dedet. Tuesday, I go about my usual PT regimen, pick up Luis from school and get dropped off in SM for some much needed grocery. Since my mom said that she needed the car at 4:30, I said that Luis and I would just take a cab. No problem. Cheaper even since parking is 40 bucks and merienda is less than a hundred buck. Taxi costs 50 pesos only. Then, I get a schock...T. Louie Senn just passed away. I was texting with my cousin Rachel, and she gave me the details...how sad indeed. =(. Wednesday was the wake and mass. Thursday was the same. Luis was with me. My mom picked us up at 11pm plus the additional chit chat with other relatives. Towards the end, it was a nice round the table glass of wine with T. Marilou, Sito, Rachel, and Kiko. Getting psyched for the 9am burial mass the following day. Having to get ready early, I got Luis ready and I was giving last minute instruction to him for the long day ahead, I see that ass pass the corridor with a girl in pink following him.

Tang ina, that girl spent the night here. What nerve that ass has!! Do you think he even went to the burial mass? NO. What an disrespectful asshole. A member of the family passes away and here he is bringing home girls to sleep in his room?? What do you call that???!!! I know it has been happening, because I believe the helpers, but this time, I saw it with my own eyes. I went directly to my moms room and told her about it. The ass denied it. What a fucking asshole! Well, the drivers saw them leave, two maids saw them too, and I saw it. So that's 4 witnesses against a fucking liar! To think that just the day before, my pappy catches him making out with the girl. Grabe... he is making our house a whorehouse!

The burial was so solemn and quick. The rest of the family headed to Alabang, to Tito Louie's final resting place. The resting place where Lola Manchi, Lolo Ramon, T. Chiquita, and all the unborn or still born or a month old babies of the family were. Sad but knowing that they are all in a better place gives one gratification. There was brunch in Tito Bomboy's house after.

Rode with Kiko and Rachel and super cute Cristina home since our boys, who were together, had tennis at 5pm. Phew... long long day. Saturday was mass at 6pm in San Antonio and novena after. Today, i just rested. Luis and Pappy went to Rockwell and watched the 007 movie... Yup, that was the week...

OBAMA WINS PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION

ONE DAY...

I picked up Luis from school and this is how he looked like...

DAILY LIFE

You know how I so look forward to my sacred Wednesdays? I haven't been able to really enjoy my "day-off" in the past weeks. Too many things have been happening. I had a small birthday celebration with my best friends last Saturday, which was simple but filling. Hahaha. I have been taking Luis to his tennis practices and leaving him there while I go chit-chat with T. Marivic by the stables. Picking him up after or waiting around reading a book. I've been planning on taking Luis to see the eye doctor because since it runs in his genes, bad eyes are inevitable. Finally, I got an appointment today at 4pm. Halloween...geez, we haven't put out any decorations whatsoever. As in none. Of course, I have been asking the maids to bring the decorations down from the attic but, it never gets done. Just a sec, I will check on it now...back!! She must have read my mind, because she brought down the decorations already. They are really outdated though... Yay. Now, to buy goodies for trick or treat. I havent been able to go riding since the wedding. George always come when the weekend is near making my strongest day on a Friday, the day that I ride. Bummer. =(. Hahaha...Hey, that's included in daily life right? Oh well....
