New "ME"

2011-12-07T08:12:00.001+08:00

I'm filled with joy and peace in my heart. The past articles posted here were not so nice and this one became a "hateblog". I've deleted those articles and some were posted privately .

I am now going to start to write again here but this time with so much HOPE and HappY Thoughts.

Lately, I've been in a lot of pain but God send me His angels to survived.

My family, my friends and my faith keeps me going.

It is just one day when I forgive those who pained me and I said sorry to those I've wronged that I feel better and happy.

Being a fighter is so tiring. There are times when u have to stop, think and reflect. We may not win the battle but knowing that verbally we disciplined our own mouth is more than winning.

Never Ending

2010-07-02T11:01:00.002+08:00

The love they shared will never end.
I love you both!

Hate Notebook

2010-06-01T01:09:00.003+08:00

Para akong baliw kapag galit. Sumusugod at di nag-iisip. To lessen the evil in me I need something where I can unload my emotions. Gym. Jogging. Hunger. Ulcer. All were not enough to satiate me. Para masatisfy gumawa ako ng hate notebook where I can unload all my hatred. Kelangan eh di kasi ako makapag-isip ng mabuti kapag galit.

Nakunan

2010-06-01T00:22:00.002+08:00

Yung baby project namin. Nawala.
Nagbibiyahe ako nun pa-davao eh para mapagbigyan lang ang luho ni Madam at matuwa naman si King Philips.
Na -stress yata kaya pag-uwi ng gensan dinugo. Yung baby project di pinahintulutan ng panahon. At sa tuwing naiisip ko ang pangyayaring ito, hindi ko alam kung ako ba ay matutuwa o malulungkot.
Kapag kasi natuloy yung ipinagbubuntis ko at me emotional problem akung pinagdadaanan ay lalong mas mahirap. Parang dejavu lang nung pinag bubuntis ko ang panganay ko.
Hahay life... buti sana kung me lovelife.

My heart's a virgin!

2010-05-24T00:10:00.004+08:00

All he do for us is much appreciated. Nakaka-high siyang mag-lOve!. When I get mad he makes sure to cool me down. Sasabihin nyang "Uyy... wag iyak langga-langa ko. Hays~ He is the only person who see who I am ~ yung pinaka-pangit kong ugali pero I would still feel his love. Our attitude may not match in some ways yet my respect for this person I married grows more everyday.

My job as a wife is to go and adjust with him kasabay ng mga pagbabagong nangyayari at mangyayari pa sa aming buhay. I don't know if I'm doing my best as his wife, friend and lifetime partner pero sigurado naman akong I make him happy. Kami ni Bien.

Kaninang umaga was his flight to Manila and soon next week his flight to Scotland. I was with him in the airport and so was Bien, my uncle who drove the car, my aunt and Lean. For the past days we've been spending our nights crying and hugging na para bang mauubusan kami ng bukas. I thought we'd shed enough tears pero hindi pala enough. Umaagas talaga ang mga nagababaga kong luha.

We hugged when it was already time to check inside. He kissed me and my son. Tapos ayun na, he was walking inside and while doing it palingun-lingon sa amin si Dad. I wanna cry again pero dapat ang asta ko ~my heart is a stone!~ and so I was smiling pa to him habang sumensenyas na "Okey, go na inside Daddy." He smiled back at sinabing ~ "six months Mommy, Six months, susunod kayo~ Tapos I saw him na pinupunasan ng panyo ang mga mata. Di ko na kinaya, tumalikod na ako at umiyak. Pati yata lalamunan ko merong nakabara. Na-mi-miss ko na kaagad si Dad. When the plane departed I felt my heart is tearing literally. I just can't described the pain. No adjectives would fit. Para bang my heart's a virgin. Iyong parang ngayon lang nasaktan.

A gift from Edith

Thank you Dith for ur gifts. I love the mugs and I'm using them na every day!

Careless

2010-05-06T21:00:00.003+08:00

Sometimes I really am so careless in small details. Like this~ I was overwhelmed pa naman when I saw some books of heart Yngrid. It's actually Book 1 and Book 2. Dahil nga siguro I've been thinking of many things at that time dalawang book two na books ang nabili ko instead of buying the book one and two. Ang ending, pagsisisi.
Sa inis ko lang~

Connie Mason

2010-05-06T19:44:00.004+08:00

I got her name from my other house named BOOKWORM (the homepage where romanticos like me stays). I had four books of Connie Mason given to me by my Mom during my birth-month this year and finally I am now reading the books this week. One more book to go na lang then I will send it to Jayvee na (madami na akong utang sa babaye). Back to CMASON~ I was very intimate with her novels kasi nga lately I'm IN for Historical Romances. Natutuwa ako.

Aside from Nora Roberts and Sandra Hill, Connie fulfills me. Reading her books were like reading a tagalog novels. Yun nga ang sabi ko, very easy to digest and I simply love each plots and sub-plots of the story. Mababaw lang naman kasi nga lovestory pero kinikilig ako. I simply like every mason twist. Hayz, makabayot! Love it gyud!

look here!

2010-05-06T19:33:00.006+08:00

In a closer view my my tummy looks like this. I don't know if it's halata na but here's WITCHY...... tadaaaa!!!!!! (feeling artista. 'langhiya, confirmed na self-adik!)

I'd like to thank Jayvee for the one I'm wearing in the pix. Very colorful. I feel young tuloy. Though it's not my usual color but I love wearing it these days.

Bading... salamat. Langga gyud teka~

I will tell more more after my bonding with hubby.
Basta, I love him. Wala ng Andy Garcia sa buhay ko.

Meeting Women

2010-03-24T15:16:00.003+08:00

Most of my male friends in the last school I attended were eager to meet women. I guess they would want to date them seriously. They’re not getting any younger so I am so sure that they are serious in such doings.

It amazes me to know that they meet women through online forums.
Well, online dating is not really new but with these bunch of male friends I’ve got, who, in my mind were the weirdest pickup artist I have known in this wide universe is something I can’t imagine.
But!
Everything in this world do changed. These were the last men that I thought would asked women to date because of fear that women might reject them.
Now, it is a lot easier. Before you’ll feel being rejected, you already are dating the woman you meet from the forum accepting the whole of you.

Business Insurance

2010-03-24T14:46:00.005+08:00

There are plenty of indemnity about business insurance today and naturally people would want to ensure their investments through joining this kind of thing. The need to research and do our own study in the insurance company that we are picking nowadays is a must. We also have to consider many aspects in choosing the kind of insurance for business to trust our investment so that in the end we will never regret investing our money. I always make sure to pick the insurance company that is easier to purchase and sometimes, I consider it big if they have an online insurance applications and online customer services. With my busy schedule, online services is a big help. With this, I can look carefully at the comprehensive insurance plan for all my business needs.

In my research, I discovered that California business insurance gives me simple instructions with competent and qualified staff to respond in my needs over the net. That kind of strategy is what I want in picking the kind of company I would trust for my business.

I'm just thinking

2010-02-22T00:09:00.003+08:00

I stood up near my college black cassette and listened to the old tape I remember to keep on playing, in reverse mode, so I can hear it all night. Those music filled my room for, if not everyday, at least until I graduated from college. For a long time I just stood exactly feeling the old times!

Gosh, ibang-iba yata ako noon. Punong-puno ng angst. Nabubuhay sa galit dahil sa panloloko ng isang tao. Dahil sa naramdamang kasawian dulot ng pag-ibig! Nakakadiring isipin muli kaya lang hindi ko mapigilan. Imagine, dahil sa kasawian kong iyun hindi na ako naniwala sa sagradong KASALAN? Anak na lang ang ginusto ko at hindi ang lalaking pakakasalan at habambuhay na mamanyakin!

Hays, sayang ang mga panahong iminukmuk ko. I should have enjoyed life pala. Kung bakit napakatagal kong nagpatali sa hatred hindi ko alam samantalang ang lalaking nanloko sa akin nagpapakasaya! Ewwww.... kabobo ko naman. Dapat pala hindi ko sya ipinagluksa ng ganun katagal. Kadiriii meee.. ehehehe.

History na ito kaya lang kakadiring balikan eh. At kung bakit ko naman binabalikan? Dahil nga sa music that I am currently listening!
As in.. super ewww.

2010-02-17T23:34:00.002+08:00

Bakit me Villar dito ? My god, I'm not for him!

Heart Talk

2010-02-14T08:29:00.003+08:00

It is enough when he appreciates my get-up, hairstyle,weird-thoughts
Gives me comfort when he embraces my negativity, tantrums, wild-sides
and though he is miles apart, he never fails to make me feel appreciated and most of all
LOVED.
There are times when I wanted to disturb him while working in the office. But he would gladly give time talking until I get bored.

When at home and he is intensely watching television, I'll turn it off, distract him, test his patience and instead of getting mad like other husband, ~ he is with me and make sure I'd have enough of him. I don't need to ask him if I'm pretty because the way he looks at me means more than what I wanna hear.

Just like my father and my mother, he is always my number one fan. His love for me is so selfless. He is already contented seeing me shining. He is always there through bad times and good times.

Happy Vday to you DaddyBear!

Sunset Bistro

2010-02-11T23:58:00.004+08:00

Cozy and soothing.
Why do we like staying here?
Kasi we can read until we wanna read.
The place is peaceful, beautiful and the music playing inside mostly were 80's!

As I said, Bien can't wait reading his new books. Kasi naman, it's been months din since he had waited for its availabilty. Now that he had it, ewan ko na lang kung me time pang mag-aral yan.

The outside view of Sunset Bistro.

He's been reading "The Cats and Dogs" ~ Parang it's in the TV rin pero I'm not really sure. But as you can see, very involved na sya sa mga characters in the story.

New books

2010-02-11T23:50:00.005+08:00

I've been toying with couple of things lately. The most promising is my relationship between books and movies. This life is wonderful. Lalo na ngayong coming summer. No work, no exam, no lectures. Sleeping with my son, playing with my nieces and nephews, getting up late, good coffee , fresh bread for breakfast and reading books with Bien.

We've been reserving some books for summer though I'm so lucky coz Mareng Nevelle is just a keypad away to send me hardbound books. Less gastos! Hehehehe....

Right now, I just simply enjoy what life has to offer me. Sana puro good, kahit simple basta masaya lahat.

I just finished reading the Amanda Quick and Lisa Kleypas books that is why Bien and I went to bookstore today to purchased new books!
Natuwa naman ako dahil nakatagpo ko uli si Ken! Tagal ko na ring di sya nababasa.

Gee.. what is diz?

2010-02-11T10:26:00.003+08:00

Parang kagabi lang, punong-puno ng heartaches puso ko.
It's not because of Gladysclaire na ka-date ko kahapon but it's because of something happened when I get back home.
I cried again sa inis.
My son was with me trying to call his Dad.
Then I just found out na lang that we both talking to Daddy bear na.

I've never felt this sensitive all my life kaya nagulat ako how I felt kagabi. I can't even talk to daddy bear well enough kasi parang ayaw lumabas ng boses ko. Naka-stuck lang sa aking throat.
He was there sa phone comforting me. As I said in my past articles, I can't help being so sensitive now. Madali lang akong paiyakin. This is not so meee...

About the thing happened
I don't wanna felt na parang violated kahit hindi naman. Basta ayaw kong binubulyawan ako. I would react hard! Dati naman, madali lang i-ignore. Ako pah, masaktan na kayong lahat, nungka na masasaktan agad feelings ko. Sweet ako na medyo manhid. Pero ngayun overly sensitive.

Dati, if I want something, I can wait. I would kulit you to death but I can still wait.
Ngayon? Naku, kung ayaw mo, wag mo. Di kita pipilitin. Kaya kitang tikisin!

Buti na lang my mom came in my room this morning. Send me some fruit juice to drink and nicely she told me na pabayaan na lang what happened kagabi between me and my father. (YES! Papa ko kairingan ko)

I keep quite lang. Biglang iniba ni mommy usapan. Ang topic namin si Villar! Napangiti ako ng tuluyan. You know I can see how passionate she is sa politics here. She's been very busy lately with her public appearances sa community.

Before she go, she told me how passionate person I am. Lahar daw kami sa pamilya, pasyonista! That is why kapag me argument~ dibdiban. Mainit ang labanan. Matira ang matibay. Pero dapat daw, hwag kalimutan that at he end of the day, despite what happened, we should never forget how we love each other. I'm the only daughter kaya hindi pwedeng i-question how much I mean to them.

I tried soo hard not to cry. Pero unsa bang trying uy... it's difficult. so I just let my tears fall down. My mom left me. She smiled and told me na mlandi daw ako kasi me paiyak-iyak na akung drama ngayon.

2010-02-11T09:44:00.001+08:00

If I'm pregnant?
Post ko na lang picture ng tummy ko after 6 months!

and I smile....

2010-02-10T07:48:00.003+08:00

I received a message from my friend GladysClaire stating "When feeling bad, who is to call? Gladysbuster!"
It made me laughed really!
We have not seen each other for two months! The last time, last year pa. But I have to see her today kasi I'm delayed. I might be pregnant! Yeey!
I don't wanna go to my doctor alone. Her company will really ease down all my tensions plus I am sure that she will shoulder all the expenses or if not, she'll buy me new books!
teka...
Hmmm... wait'a'minute... kaya siguro she's been avoiding me dahil ayaw akong i-treat?
Hihihi
Lagot ka, wala kang choice!
See you later Sexybaby...

2010-02-09T11:19:00.007+08:00

I usually don't put emotional burdens in my heart,  instead  I find

things that would   make  me busy

and

end up buying and reading books BIG TIME!

These past days, I find my heart beats abnormally.

Always in a deep breathing ~SIGH~

It has fears inside.

Fear of not seeing someone I love for a very long time.

Fear that one day, he won't come back and we won't be whole again.

All these time, I thought I'm already strong enough to face whatever difficulties life would

offer me.

And yet I would find my self crying especially in my solitude.

So weak....

so weak that I could even feel my nerves whacking in just a thought of him leaving!

For now, he is  still here.

Spending great weekends with us though  during weekdays  he is somewhere,  mountains

apart, working.

I hate seeing myself missing people whom I used to be with.

Lalo na if that person had taken my heart fully.

It's parang he had a certain part of me na dala dala nya  sa kanyang napipintong pag-alis.

I know how much he hated working in his office.

He keeps on telling me kung paano sya miniminus ng mga ka-officemates at nung iba pang nasa paligid nya.

And I would comfort him and would tell him na wala naman sa kalingkingan nya yung mga taong yun.

He would smile and hugged me tenderly.

He would tell me how I make him feel complete.

Thank me for trusting in him and for always playing his number one fan pwera lang kapag

ako  ay medyo galit.

Sa pagkakaalam ko, between the two of us, I'm more emotionally stronger and secured.

Pero hindi pala.  Just a thought that he might be leaving this month or next month makes

me cry easily.

One More Time with Gladys

2009-11-30T20:49:00.005+08:00

We were strolling Robinsons nung panahong bagong bukas pa lang ito.
Nauna syang pumasok dun sa grocery section ng mall.

Guard: Good morning Maam.

Gladys gave him her usual flirtatious smile. Eh sa ganun sya eh, 50 percent lang yung pagka-kiri ko kumpara sa kanya. Napapasimangot ako kapag ganun sya. Minsan kasi feeling ko hindi talaga namimili ang bruha.

Papasok na rin ako. Kasunod nya.

Guard: (Manyak, nakatingin sa cleavage ko) Ang ganda nyo Maam. (Bati nung guwardiya)

Ngeek... wala akong nakita, walang narinig. Magaling yata akong mang -ignore.
Biglang me pumalag! Medyo nagulat ako.

Gladys: Ulit, ulit! Bumalik si Gladys sa kanyang dinaanan. Unfair yan! Sabihin mo rin sa akin yung sinabi ko sa kanya.

(Napa-smile ng matamis yung guard. Buti na lang di masyado busy)
Guard: Actually Maam, mas maganda po kayo.

Gladys: Korek!!! Mas maganda talaga ako dyan. Suplada yan eh.

Ayan! Nilait nya ako. Pero subrang saya na n'ya noon ha?
Tama ba yun? Justice!
We've been friends since birth and I will always love her everything. Idol ko talaga s'ya pagdating sa lakas ng loob. Key of Valor! Si Gladys na yun.

Taba Isyu

2009-11-26T18:57:00.004+08:00

Ang galing!
Tinanggihan ko ang libreng Pizza ni Gladys! Sabi ko nga, success, success, success!!! Me disiplina na ako sa pagkain.
Ayun, naubos nyang lahat!

On our way out, me nakasalubong kaming dati nyang classmate. Smile, kumustahan, plastikan hehehe, pabonggahan! The usual thing na ginagawa ni Gladys kapag me nakikita s'yang old friends. Well, ginagawa nya lang naman yun kapag tupperware rin ang kaharap. Ako naman tahimik lang habang kunyari busy sa pag t-text-text! Tapos nauna na yung girl , nagba-bye na.

Hinatid nya ako hanggang makasakay ng PUJ. Nyee.. Kasabay kong sumakay yung dati nyang kaklase. Sumenyas ke Gladys ng Bye-bye. Tumatawa sya habang ginagawa nya yun at sinabin dun sa kasamahan nya na " Si Gladys yun. Mataba yan noon, tapos mas lalong tumaba ngayon. Siguro hanggang mamatay yan mataba pa rin." Sabay na sila ng kasamahan nyang tumatawa.

Ako naman tahimik lang. I was thinking di ba nila naisip na kasama ko kanina yung taong pinagtsi-tsismisan nila? Hays, some people talaga ambabaw ng judgement sa buhay.

when I got home, I picked up my phone and told Gladys about everything I heard. Abah... biglang nagalit sa akin. SERYOSONG GALIT!

Gladys: Bakit di mo ko ipinagtanggol? (Histerikal kunti)

Lovi: Kapagod keyang makipag-away no. Pinabayaan ko na lang. Opinyon nila yun eh.

Gladys: Ikaw nga dyan eh, kapag me nagsasabing mataba ka, kinokorek ko kaagad. Sinasabi ko agad na " Hindi naman sya mataba. Sexy yan, parang si Ara Mina. Tapos ngayon ikaw wala kang ginawa!!!

Lovi: Sorry na. Next time, ipagtatanggol na kita.

Gladys: Paano? (galit pa rin)

Lovi: Ganito, Girls wala kayung taste. Di naman s'ya mataba. Malaman lang parang si Diana Zubiri.

Gladys: Korek!!!! Ganyan ang gawin mo. (Tumatawa na ang bruha)
Nakikinig pala si Bien. Di naiwasang mag- comment.
Bien: (Syempree naka-speaker phone, naririnig ni Gladys) Why can't she find the truth? It's true she is fat.

Gladys: Bien! Bad words 'yan. ( ako naman nakasmile lang)

Bien: Truth can never be a bad word Tita Gla.

Gladys: Sige na, mag diet na ako. Lovely!!! (Ayan na, ako naman ang kinausap)

Lovi: Anu???

Gladys: Mag jogging tau bukas ha?

Sabay na kaming natawa.

(me permission ni Gladys ito kaya ok lang na i-published ko. that's one thing with her. Totoo syang tao)

High School

2009-11-23T21:13:00.006+08:00

High school is, among other things, about searching for identity and acceptance. It's about gravitating toward certain social groups, about picking and choosing the labels that define us.

So Into You

2009-11-23T08:09:00.002+08:00

One more book from Sandra. I only bought this novel for 285 at NBS here in Gensan. There are few copies left. I'm reading it during night time. Di ko pa kasi tapos ang mga trilogy ni Nora Roberts! really, I'm having a great time with books right now.

Excerpt:

CHAPTER ONE

The angel was wild tonight...

Angel Sabato stood at the edge of the dance floor, like a dunce, shaking in his thousand dollar Tres Outlaw boots, as he watched the redhead shake her bootie to the beat of "Wild Thing." For an ex-nun, she sure had moves.

Ironically, he was the one feeling wild. His hands were clammy, his heart was thumping--da dump, da dump, da dump--and, truth to tell, he was scared spitless. Tonight was going to be the night. Do or die time.

It was ridiculous, really. He was thirty-four years old. He'd been around the block so many times, there were probably street signs named after him. At the least, his "tread marks" were notorious. Shyness wasn't even in his vocabulary. After all, he was the dick-for-brains who'd bared it all for Playgirl Magazine at one time.

Just then the redhead in question, Grace O'Brien, noticed him and smiled widely, crooking a forefinger for him to come out and join her.

Not a chance.

It wasn't dancing he had on his mind.

She said something to her partner, one of the young LeDeuxs...a freshman at LSU. Then she left the kid behind and snaked a slow, sensuous boogie toward him, her green, twinkling eyes holding his the entire time, her arms held out in front of her, fingers beckoning. She must be half plastered, or more likely, in a teasing mood.

He was not in the mood for teasing.

"Yo, matie," she drawled at him.

This was the tail end of the Pirate Ball. It was being held here in Houma, Louisiana to celebrate the successful hunt by Jinx, Inc., a treasure hunting company, for Jean Lafitte's hidden gold. Thus, the silly pirate talk. Not to mention silly pirate costumes.

He and Grace had worked on the Jinx team's Pirate Project these past weeks. Before that they'd been professional poker players. And before that, Grace had been a nun, and he had been in the Navy, then construction, and...well, a lot of things.

She was dancing around him now, dressed in a saucy tavern wench costume with a jagged knee-length hem, while he was in a puffy shirt tied with a red sash. Jerry Seinfeld would be so proud of me.

When he pretended to ignore her sexy dancing, she grabbed his upper arm and attempted to tug him forward. Being about seventy-five pounds heavier at six-foot-one to her measly five- feet-five, he was pretty much immovable.

She put her hands on her hips and glared at him. "Come out here and shake a peg leg, you randy buccaneer."

He had to grin at that. "Who says I'm randy?"

"You're always randy."

"And you know this...how?"

"All the satisfied smiles I've seen on women exiting your revolving bedroom door the past ten years."

"You noticed?"

"Stop changing the subject. I wanna dance."

"Are you blitzed?" he asked with a laugh.

"Just a little," she slurred.

Luckily, the DJ changed the music to a different pace. Mariah Carey urging "Touch My Body."

He opened his arms to Grace and adjusted her so that her arms were around his neck, and his hands were linked behind her waist, just above her butt. And, yes, Mariah, he had touching in mind. Touching Grace.

"I'm flying back to Jersey early tomorrow morning. I need to talk to you," he said into her hair that smelled like apples, or was it peaches? Some kind of frickin' fruit, anyway.

"Uh-huh. I'm listening," she replied, definitely not listening as she nuzzled her face into the crook of his neck, inadvertently pressing her belly against the crotch of his tights.

Yeah, he was wearing XXX-sized tights. With testosterone-induced hysterical irrelevance, he mused that the guys back in his old gang in Newark would get a kick out of him in latex, unless it were of the prophylactic kind. Or was that spandex? Spandex, latex, whatever! That was beside the point. Call me crazy, but did she just lick my ear?

Blood drained from his head and slam dunked into sex central. For a second, he thought his knees might give out.

"Not here," he gurgled. "Let's go outside for a walk, down by the bayou. Better yet, I'll take you back to your hotel room."

"I already checked out. I'll be staying with Tante Lulu from now on." She leaned her head back to look at him. "You sound serious."

"I am serious, babe." He wondered if she was aware that when she arched back like that it caused his erection to rub against her belly button which was exposed by her low-riding wench skirt. And that was damn serious.

"You can drive me to the cottage. Let's go tell Tante Lulu that I'm leaving."

"So, you're staying with that Cajun dingbat, huh?" he asked, arm looped over her shoulder as they walked to the other side of the hall where Tante Lulu was chattering away to some guy in a frock coat and tricorn hat. At least he wasn't wearing tights.

Louise Rivard, better known as Tante Lulu, was the craziest old woman he'd ever met. But she was a noted traiteur, or folk healer, and Grace had decided to apprentice herself to the fruitcake in hopes of learning more about the healing arts. Really, Grace's life was like a pendulum swinging from one extreme to the other. Nun to poker player to treasure hunter to healer. He couldn't wait to see where she landed next, as long as she took him along for the ride.

"Don't call her a dingbat." Grace turned slightly and swatted him on the chest, then grinned. "Even if she is a dingbat."

"Grace...Angel...hope y'all had a good time t'night." Tante Lulu was dressed as a senior citizen pirate gal. A scary sight, to be sure...she was ninety-two, after all. She eyed them suspiciously when Grace told her she would be leaving with him. Grace was oblivious to that pointed look, which took in his arm on Grace's shoulder, but he could practically see the matchmaking wheels churning in Tante Lulu's little brain. "That full moon t'night, she is purty enough to make a cat smooch a hound dog."

"Huh?" Grace said.

"Welcome to TanteLuluville," he muttered under his breath, then smiled.

"Ya gots a hope chest?" Tante Lulu asked Angel just before they walked away. Tante Lulu had a tradition of making hope chests for the men in her family, or male friends of the family, just before the "thunderbolt of love" hit them.

Hah! He had news for the Louisiana love bug. That thunderbolt had done its business with him a long time ago.

"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" Grace asked, once they were sitting in his rental car back in Tante Lulu's cottage driveway. She didn't seem so tipsy anymore.

A full moon allowed him to see Grace's face. She was concerned. For him.

"I want you to come back with me, sweetheart." Well, that was laying his cards on the table from the get-go.

She frowned. "Back to your motel room?"

"No. I mean, yeah, that would be great, but I meant, fly back to the east coast with me in the morning. Come with me and the Jinx team to Germany for our next project." He gulped. "Just come with me, that's all."

"I don't understand. You know I quit treasure hunting. It was never intended to be more than a one-shot deal for me. I've already explained why I'm staying here." She moved closer and accidentally put a hand on his thigh.

Big mistake, that.

He picked her up by the waist and laid her across his lap, her head cradled over his left elbow. "This isn't about treasure hunting, or folk healing, or any other damn profession. It's about you and me." He leaned down, kissed her lightly on the lips, and whispered against her gaping mouth, "I love you, Grace."

She squirmed into a sitting position on his lap. "I love you, too, sweetie. You're my best friend."

"Dammit! That's not what I'm talking about. I'm in love with you, have been for a long time."

A stunned silence was not what he was looking for here.

"You're kidding, right? What's the punch line? You gonna tell some lame nun joke?" She nipped at his lower lip with her teeth as punishment.

Angel jerked backward, though he didn't release Grace from his embrace. It was true, he had been teasing Grace with nun jokes for ages, even though she hadn't been a nun for ages, but not now. "This is not a joke, Grace."

She stared at him for a long moment. "Sex. All this forced celibacy while trapped out in the bayou must have turned you horny. You want to have sex with me." Grinning, she taunted him with that last accusation.

"No! I mean, yes. Here's the deal: I don't want sex for sex sake, as in any ol' female would do. I want to make love with you. But that's not all I want. C'mon," he said, opening the car door and hauling her outside. Oh, God! I'm blowing it. What the hell is wrong with me? "Let's walk."

"You're scaring me, Angel."

"I'm scaring myself," he muttered as he linked his hand with hers and led her onto Tante Lulu's back porch facing the bayou. Once they were leaning against the rail, he raised their linked hands and kissed her knuckles.

"Oooh, you are smooth."

"You have no idea." Something occurred to him then, related to her mentioning going back to his motel room. "Would you have sex with me? Just like that?" He snapped his fingers. "Friends with benefits?"

"I don't know. Maybe."

Angel was both angry and intrigued.

"Actually, I probably wouldn't. Even half drunk. You and I have been friends for a long time. I wouldn't want to do anything to ruin that."

He shook his head. "Not anymore."

She frowned. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, friendship isn't enough anymore. Haven't you felt it, too, Gracie, these weeks we've been here in Louisiana? Those LeDeuxs are crazy as coots, but they're a closeknit family. They would do anything for each other. And you can just see the passion between the husbands and wives. Luc and Sylvie. Remy and Rachel. René and Val. Rusty and Charmaine. John and Celine. That's what I want."

"Passion?"

"Passion, yeah, but more than that."

"Family?" she said with an oddly sad sigh.

"Bingo. I want a woman to love who will love me back. And a home...a real home, not some luxury condo. And kids."

The more he explained himself, the stiffer she got. Then she started biting on her thumb nail, a nervous habit she'd been trying to break ever since he'd first met her. Angel sensed he was losing her bit by bit, but he didn't know how to fix it.

"You and I have no close family ties," she reminded him, pulling her hand out of his grasp and walking to the other end of the porch. He followed after her. "The LeDeuxs have family out the wazoo."

"We can make our own family. I love you, honey. That's what people in love do."

"Where is all this coming from?" Her voice was shrill with panic. "You never mentioned love before."

"It's been there for a long time. I just haven't had the nerve to say anything."

"You? Lacking nerve?"

He nodded. "But I had to say something now. This Amber Project...Jinx's next job...is going to take months, maybe even a year, and it'll be mostly on site in Germany. We're searching for that famous Amber Room that the Nazi's supposedly dismantled and hid. Definitely Jinx's most ambitious treasure hunt yet, and I want you to be there with me. As my wife. Doesn't a honeymoon in Europe sound great?" His heart was racing so fast it felt as if it might explode. Deep down, he sensed he was fighting a losing battle. How could he have misread her so badly?

"This is insane. You've never even kissed me...that way. You can't ask someone to marry you without even a proper kiss." That was his cue. "I thought you'd never ask."

When she saw his slow grin and his equally slow approach, she stuttered, "That's not what...oh, good grief, what are you doing?"

"About to kiss you properly." Before she could blink, or tell him to get lost, he backed her up against the log wall of the cottage, cupped her butt cheeks, raising her to just the right height on her tip toes, spread her legs with his knees, anchored her with his belly against her belly, combed his fingers through her hair to hold her in place, then kissed her with all the love he'd been holding in for so long.

It should have been a gentle kiss, coaxing. An introduction. Something that said, "Hi! We've known each other forever, as friends, but this is how I really feel. I love you. Do you love me?"

Instead, his sex drive shot from zero to speed of light in a nanosecond, and the gentle, coaxing kiss was anything but. It was hungry and demanding and said, "Oh, baby, I want you so bad. I can't wait, I can't wait, I can't wait..."

Just then, a loud bellow echoed behind them.

"What was that?" he asked, his head jerking back.

"An alligator, I think. Probably Remy's pet Useless. It's harmless."

An alligator? Close by? Harmless? He pressed his forehead against hers, both of them panting for breath.

"This is not the way I want to make love to you the first time, sweetheart. Come back to my motel room with me, and we can talk."

She tried to laugh but it came out choked. "I think we've done enough talking." Ducking under his arm, she stepped away.

Immediately, Angel sensed the tension in the air, and it wasn't a good tension. She put up a halting hand when he moved a step closer.

"Angel, I am not going to marry you, and we are not going to have a family together. It is just not going to happen. Ever."

"Why?"

"Because I'm not in love with you."

Angel had been playing poker for too many years not to read her "tells." He'd like to think she was lying through her teeth. She wasn't. How could he have interpreted her signals so wrong? "You don't mean that, Gracie." Please, God, don't let her mean it.

"Angel! Come on. I've seen you puking your guts out when you've drunk too much. That's a friend, not a lover."

He shrugged. "I've gone out and bought you tampons when you had an accident in white slacks. Didn't make me go `eeew!'."

"I saw you clipping your gross toenails in the kitchen."

He grinned. "You have funny looking toes. The pinkies are crooked."

"You told me my toes were cute."

"They are cute. Crooked cute."

All this was just blowing smoke, in his opinion. Of no importance. Once again, he tried to move closer.

Once again, she put up a halting hand. "You've been the best friend I've ever had, but I don't feel that way about you. Really, I had no idea..."

"Your kiss," he said, indicating with a wave of his hand the section of porch they'd just left, "your kiss said something else."

There were tears in her eyes. "Sexual attraction fueled by too much alcohol."

"I'm not buyin' it."

"You have to. Besides, there are things in my past...things you don't know about me."

"Hell, I have secrets in my past, too. Big deal!" He waited a moment, then asked, "What things?"

"I can't say. Just know that I have good reasons for saying that you and I will never be a family, aside from my just thinking of you as a friend...my best friend."

"Well, we're sure as hell not gonna continue being friends with this between us now."

"Oh, Angel."

"I'm leaving, Gracie. Are you coming with me?"

She shook her head, unable to speak.

"So be it. I doubt we'll be seeing each other again. I don't do begging very well." He stared at her, then added, "I love you, babe. I really do."

*****

Two weeks later, and the news heard 'round the world, or at least, down the bayou...

Grace was in the pantry, using a mortar and pestle to grind dried herbs for Tante Lulu's amazing medicinal potions.

Pennyroyal, horehound, sassafras and catnip, which could be brewed into a tea and used for coughs.

Yarrow and jimson weed to go in poultices.

Sumac for arthritis.

So many healing uses for nature's bounty. And any one of them could have varying uses, depending on their stage of development...seed, flower, or full-grown plant.

Dust motes danced on the stream of sun light coming from the lone window. Through the screen she could hear a hundred bayou birds join together, celebrating their unique habitat. As she worked, she glanced over at the floor to ceiling shelves, neatly lined with dozens of glass bottles. Some of them baby food jars. Some jelly jars. Even old green Mason Jars with lead lids. Each had its own label. Each followed specific ingredients for one of the noted traiteur's remedies--nine hundred eighty three, at last count--that were outlined, longhand, in numerous journals which had their own shelf. No computer software for her boss. Nosirree, as Tante Lulu would say.

The pungent odors in the room, the feeling of history, the warmth of Tante Lulu's essence...all these things contributed to Grace's sense of well-being. She was at peace. Not happy precisely, but finally she was where she belonged.

A psychiatrist would have a field day with her history. From promiscuous teenager to nun. Nun to poker player. Poker player to treasure hunter. Treasure hunter to folk healer. Still, she'd found a place that felt safe and promising to her. The only thing interfering with her happiness was Angel. Her heart grieved at the hole her former friend had created in her life by his absence. The louse hadn't called her. Probably his pride had kicked in. And she wasn't going to call him. That would give him false expectations. Even if she was in love, and she wasn't, there were other reasons why a future with him would be out of the question.

"Yoo hoo!"

Tante Lulu must be back from her trip to Boudreaux's General Store. Her nephew John LeDeux had picked her up an hour ago.

Grace finished bottling her concoction, dusted her hands off, then walked into the kitchen where Tante Lulu and John were unloading armfuls of overflowing paper bags. Both of them glanced at her. And said nothing.

"What?" It was obvious by the way they avoided direct eye contact that something was wrong.

"Ah, Gracie, bless yer heart," Tante Lulu said, reaching up to pat her cheek.

Now Grace was really frightened. "Tell me."

"Tee-John was talkin' ta Ronnie this mornin'," Tante Lulu started to explain, then stopped, turning to her nephew for help.

Ronnie was Veronica Jinkowsky, owner of Jinx, Inc., the treasure hunting company.

"Oh, my God! Is it Angel? Has something happened to him?"

"You could say that," John drawled out. The sympathy in his dark Cajun eyes caused alarm bells to go off in her head and her heart rate to accelerate alarmingly.

"He got married yesterday," John told her. "To an airline stewardess he met on the way to Germany. Talk about!"

Grace plopped down into the kitchen chair, stunned. So much for true love! She tried her best not to be hurt. After all, she was the one who'd sent him away, but the tears came anyway.

They would never renew their friendship now.

She tried to tell herself it was best this way.

Pacman's girl

2009-11-18T06:12:00.005+08:00

I think it's true.
Kapag kasi sikat ka na, mahirap magpakabait lalo na kapag di ka naman naturally good. Human, human, human.
Ako kaya kapag sumikat, iiwan rin si Lee Dong? (ahahaha)
Dami pa sanang magpa-autograph ke Manny keya lang he was with a woman that's why di na sya nagkaroon ng time sa fans.
Accordingly, tsismis lang ito dito sa Gensan ha, during his fight against Cotto, si Krysta yung nasa Mansion ni Manny while the wife remained in the hotel with her kamag-anak praying na sana Manny won't make it. Pero actually, wala naman akong pakialam. Kiber ko ba sa life nya? (pero pi-nost ko to. hehehehe)

Juday

2009-11-13T23:59:00.003+08:00

I'm so happy nOw!!!!
Hindi naman pwedeng i-deny that I'm a biG fan of Juday.
Kaya nga nakadikit pa hanggang ngayon ang mga ngiti ko sa labi kasi I just heard from SNN that she will be doing another soap opera early next year with Derek Ramsey.
Halos di na yata matatanggal ang ngiting ito lalo na nung sinabi nyang He can never be who is today if not for Juday (referring to their tandem during the ISABELLA soap aired in ABS CBN) . I must admit na hindi ako nakakapanood masyado ng Isabella kasi hindi kayang isingit sa subrang busy ng work schedule ko dati. Nagkasya na lamang ako sa pagbili ng original DVD. Hindi ako magpipirata kapag Judyann na. Yoko ngang magtampo sya.
Ako pa naman yung tipo na if I like love someone, I'm all the way for that someone~! kaya hindi ko ipipirata ang idol kong si Juday!!!
Actually, eto lang talaga ang i-sye-share ko ngayun.
It's been a while na rin na hindi ko nakikita si Juday araw-araw.
Kaya nga knowing that she's back~ Great nnews gyud!~

Malory and Flynn

2009-11-11T20:38:00.003+08:00

This is from Key of Light ni Mareng Nora Roberts (bale Book One ng Key Trilogy):

Minsan lang ako kinikilig kapag nagbabasa ng romance english book. Though hindi naman talaga romansa ang story ni Malory dito pero kahit papano umiikot din yung romansa nina Malory (yung bidang babae ) at ni Flynn (yung love interest ni Malory).

Kinikilig ako sa character ni Flynn. Gustong-gusto ko iyong style ng panunuyo niya ke Malory!
At natatawa rin ako sa aso ni Flynn. Si Moe. Si Moe yata ang unang nagkaroon ng crush ke Malory.

Basta ang hirap i-share dito. All I know is that tumatak sa puso ko ang character ni Flynn.

Bien's Nightmare

2009-11-11T20:01:00.007+08:00

I'm sad kasi me sakit si Bien. Tatlong araw ring absent sa school. Eto namang Pedia nya nasa Manila at me convention na inatenan! Ako naman OZING-OZI. Ayaw na ayaw kong papalit -palit ng doktor. I told my self na kapag 3 araw na at wala pa ang doktor ~ maghahanap na ako ng iba.

On the second night, nilamig si Bien. I hugged him tightly tapos ini-off ko ang aircon. Balik basa ng book ni Mareng Nora (Nasa Cirle Trilogy na ako). Biglang nagsalita si Bien habang natutulog. Naalarma ako. I wake him up sabay niyakap siya ng subrang higpit. Tapos sinabi nya to me na " Mom I had a nightmare!" habang pinupunasan nya nga kanyang palad ang mga mata.
"What happen in your dream?" I asked him
"The snake eats me." he answered.
"What did I do? I just let it happen? Imposible yan. I won't let that snake harm you. Kakainin ko muna sya." I told him habang nanlalaki ang mga tsinita kong mata.
"No, Mom. In my dreams, I died. The snake left me with my skeletons!"
"Naku Bien, let's pray. Bad dream lang yan."
Nakatulog naman uli ng maayos.

Kaya kaninang umaga, first thing talaga yung naghanap ako ng bagong pedia.
Pinacheck ko lahat ng vitals ni Bien and I even told our new Doctor about what bothers me. Takot ako sa Dengue. Sino ba namang hindi. Cool naman ang Doctor. Matanda na pero magaling.
Ang point ko lang talaga is, natakot ako dun sa dream.
Stay away bad omen! Di kita kaya!
Ayoko kahit isipin man lang.

She's a very good friend way back highschool. We recently bumped with each other in the Net. Hirap ngang mapaniwalaan na kung kelan limot na limot mo na yung tao atsaka pa sya muling magbabalik. Hehehe Joke lang Angie. Among my friends, sya 'yung pinakahuling taong maiisip kong mag aasawa ng foriegner. I was so scared for her but looking back, naku, tama ang ginawa nya. She's more tha happier now.

Circle Trilogy

2009-11-08T23:33:00.020+08:00

Book 1 - Morrigan's Cross

Standing on the cliffs of 12th century Ireland following the disappearance of his twin, Hoyt Mac Cionaoith is visited by the goddess Morrigan and is charged with the ultimate of tasks: saving his and all future worlds. His enemy, the beautiful but deadly vampire queen Lilith, has had over two thousand years experience in cruelly killing and changing humans into one of her own - including Hoyt's brother, Cian.

Now, Hoyt, a sorcerer, must travel across the world and through time to find and train the five others Morrigan has prophesized will join him as a circle and do battle against Lilith's army of vampires on Samhain in the land of Geall. But just who is the witch, the shape-changer, the scholar, the warrior and the vampire? How will this unlikely band of six prepare and become one with less than three months until the possible end of the world?

Following the arrival of Glenna Ward - a modern day witch with a knack for making her own kind of magic, the kind that makes his heart melt - Hoyt must find the strength to save the world, and a love that knows no bounds.

Book 2 - Dance of the Gods

Raised in a family of demon hunters, Blair Murphy has her own personal demons to fight - the father who trained, then abandoned her, and the fiancé who walked out on her after learning what she is. Now she finds herself training a sorcerer from 12th century Ireland, a witch from modern day New York, a scholar and a shape changer from the mythical land of Geall, while trying to keep herself from staking the sixth of their circle and host: a vampire sired by Lilith, the vampire queen they've been charged with defeating on Samhain.

No stranger to butt-kicking, Blair finds herself taking a good whipping when it comes to that handsome and flirtatious Geallian, Larkin. And a couple of run-ins with Lilith's right-hand gal gives Blair more than she reckoned for, mentally and physically. But will she be able to stay afloat long enough to defeat Lilith's loyal in pre-battle bouts? Or will she find herself falling for the one thing she vowed never to give in to again? If the vampires don't do her in, Larkin is certainly up to the task.

Book 3 - Valley of Silence

Having traveled through the Dance of the Gods to the land of Geall, the circle finds themselves convincing then training the people of Geall to defeat Lilith's vampire army. The Valley of Silence is a forbidding place for the battle of all battles, but the circle continues to prepare through magic and a few early stakeouts that test their strength individually and as a team.

Moira finds herself playing the roles of warrior and royal, as she follows the tradition of her people and prepares to take the crown before leading them into battle. And if that isn't enough, she finds her thoughts turning to Cian more often than not.

So what's a chaste and intelligent young woman to do when given less than a month with

2009-11-08T23:33:00.019+08:00

It's late na. I gotta go. Si Lee Dong nag-aaya ng matulog kami. Naturally alembong lola nyo kaya sige na bye! Gagawa pa kami ng baby!

Love Match

2009-11-08T23:33:00.013+08:00

These were books published in General Santos City.
Love Match.
Most writers were from here too.
I just hope that these books were available anywhere in our country kasi nga maganda at makabago ang istilo ng mga pinoy writer dito.

The first time I read the Lothario Series of Eve Montilibano, I go crazy.
Now, I'm into Crystal Orteza's Dream Catcher Saga. Mas lalong nakakabaliw!
I also tried other books, halos binili ko na nga lahat.
When the family spend time in Mt. Apo three weeks ago during the semestral break, ito yung mga PB na dala dala ko. Ay naku, Kahit mobiling kami, nagbabasa pa rin ako. Compared to PHR books mas mahigpit yata ang pagkakawahak ko sa LoveMatch.

Mill and Boons

2009-11-08T23:33:00.003+08:00

I bought these books in a bookstore where everything is mura. Mills and Boons books for only P15.00. I usually can't read books without tatak National Bookstore but these newly discovered store is amazing! The books on sale where perfectly maganda pa rin in a very reasonable price!
Bongga! Ang dami-daming books na nakaline-up sa akin ngayun para basahin. I'm so glad na hindi pa ako busy. Parang kulang pa nga ang gabi sa kababasa! Hay sarap!

Nora Roberts

2009-11-08T22:53:00.004+08:00

I've crossed with NRobert's books many times but I just ignored it. Ganun kasi ako, when I visit the bookstore usually alam ko na kung ano ang bibilhin. My usual picks were from Paulo Coelho, Mitch Albom, Sophie Kinsella and Anne Rice.
Sometimes, I get tired with them.

Recently, in a forum where I spend my time most, somebody suggested to try Nora Robert's "Irish Trilogy". Suddenly I was hooked. I searched for the books here and find nothing. Until I found it in a second hand bookstore in General Santos City. I suddenly bought three of her trilogies. I was scared kasi na if I won't buy those 9 books I won't be seeing them again in my next visit. Di naman masyadong expensive kasi nga second-hand.

You can just imagine my happiness. I could even spend the whole day smiling! So I was reading first the Key trilogy.

It's about the three goddessess who were cursed. Their souls were trapped seperately in a glass of box. The guardian of the said box who was a warrior and a teacher and also a lover were the one who'd look for the three women living in the mortal world who were destined to be the keys that could unlock those boxes.
There was a man who bought the portrait of the the three goddesses. The three goddessess were look-a-like of the three women destined to unlock the soul. The first book is entitled The Key of Light, the second one is The Key of Knowledge and the Third is The Key of Valor.

Yung Irish Trilogy naman is about the woman ghost that was found crying in the cottage. It was said that she has a lover na prinsepe pero engkanto. The Prince give her a diamond from the sun,a pearl from the moon and a jewel from the sea but the woman rejected all of it because she was waiting for the Prince to tell him na mahal nya ang babae even without those gift. Kung sinabi lang ng prinsipe yung magic words na I Love You, she would come to him willingly. The Prince became angry and made a curse. Ang sabi she will stay in the world until someone will break the curse. It was already too late when the Prince realized that the woman truly love her. The stroy is a trilogy. Yung tatlong libro ay iikot dun sa kung papano ma-be-break ang spell.

A gold coin in a mud

2009-11-04T13:31:00.005+08:00

It's in the boiling mud of Lake Agkho situated exactly in the Heart of Mt. Apo, Kidapawan City that I've seen something that glows when touched by the sun's light. It's oddity made me picked the wooden stick from a tree behind and dig that thing in the boiling mud until I finally have it.
I found a gold. If it's real or not, I'm not sure.

It is an old gold american coin. My ignorance in this field is obvious. I just read what was engraved in the gold coin but I really don't know any information regarding this. My cousin took the coin from me. With a full-blown-eyes he told me how valuable it is! I chuckled with out hoping anything. The only thing I know about having a gold coin is that it's a good investment. I'm not a coin collector not even a gold investor but really, having volumes of this thing could be something. It is a sure investment for a generation.

As of now I only have 1 piece. I pulled back the coin from my cousin. Tossed it, feel its warmth and put it inside my pocket. I don't know if I could buy a bullion from this one but for sure, this will going to be my lucky charm. I'm gonna keep it with me.
I know it will bring me luck in the near future.

2009-11-04T13:12:00.004+08:00

I'm inlove with him since korean soap My- Girl- days aired in ABSCBN years back. I even love him more than I had loved Andy Garcia during my teenage years. I'm no longer in my primetime kasi 30 na ako kaya nga siguro mas type ko na ang boy-next door beauty. Hindi na pang Godfather na katulad ni Andy! Ang landi ng lola!

Officially, he is my boyfriend.
I don't share him just to win a friend!
Take note, he is singing only for me. Ayy!!

Boyfriend kong fresh-looking

2009-10-24T19:49:00.003+08:00

Guys! Ayan na si Wookie. Kagigising nya lang this morning after our ~~~ hehehe.

Look at him. He look so fresh kapag bagong gising.
Akalain nyo bang maiinlove sya sa sexy'ng bruha na katulad ko.
Jackpot! Fafaboom na fafaboom!!!

"Maybe we should kiss, just to know what the big deal is..."

I just watched this last night and I was giggling at the thought of these kids about kissing.
Parang ang sarap maging bata uli. Their innocence is overwhelming.
Magkakaiba man tayo sa prinsipyo at sa isipan but I guess, we all feel the same when somebody we love kiss us or we kiss that someone we love!

Nyaayy.... (narember ko tuloy ang aking first kis! hehehehe)

2009-10-19T06:00:00.001+08:00

This is one of the MTV that I find nice. Parang ang ganda ni Regine dito.

Bien's fashion show yesterday was fun! He was wearing a basketball attire for Sport's Fashion Show and was paired with Cammille with a Volleyball Wear.

As much as he wanted not be laughed at, he just can't get away from it. Bien would always be the Darling of the Crowd. He walks like a Dino! Hahahahaha

I can't even control my self from laughing and that includes everybody including the teachers.

I have the feeling that he loves it. He ended the fashion show making everybody sweep off their feet.

Hindi naman ito yung first time na ginulo nya ang audience. I just can't explain the way he do things on stage at kung bakit he could easily make everyone laugh. Wala lang, naturally kataw-anan siguro sya.

Selfish

2009-10-14T02:45:00.005+08:00

It is your choice to be alone. And until now I still can't understand how can you hurt deeply those you said you love? In my heart all I can say was that you've been so selfish. You know how many hearts you have broken and what burden you've caused our family.

I've read what you have written in many characters from my books you've borrowed. It does not fit you. How can you love those people whom you will only appreciate when you just need something?

That, that someone specially you are sorry for? You just need her more because she is the only one you've got and the only one you can still surely suck.

From the start you know you can't fool me right? We both knew that.

Kasi write something from you. I'm not telling you to be a shit forever but I'm just suggesting that you have to accept who you are because only in that way you can be able to change your life again. A life with out us being tormented.

Now I knew why I always fail to love you as part of my family no matter how I tried. I can not love you because you don't know what it means.

But my hope is still here. I'm holding on it. Someday, when you'll know how to love, I will reach out to you.

A visit from Maxine and Lean

2009-10-14T01:55:00.009+08:00

The whole family can't get enough from their visit with us last September. We were all in a gay mood having them for one week.
I was taking a bath pa nga when they came and Lean forced herself to get in. She succeeded getting inside since I didn't closed my door well. We were all shouting and laughing. God , I miss her so much. She is too kikay not to be remembered. Actually my husband would always tell me that she is my kaugali. The younger version of Witchyboop!

Most probably next week during their semestral break, they will be coming back and we will be spending our time in Mt. Apo's Lake Agko. Obviously, I can't wait. I always love spending my nights with them together with the butterflies and fireflies. The place is so enchanted. Kulang na lang ng snow para kompleto na ako. Yeey!

Maxine would always be Bien's favorite. He was in a total Oh -no- I- can't- believe this face when she saw her again.

Mine is Lean.

She is my younger version and I will always love the way she cries, dances and everything else she does. She is an amazing kid. The world will never be the same with out her.
Me makikita ka pa bang bata na ginagawang hair dryer ang hand dryer ng Dunkin Donut?

Kaya tuloy pati sina Bien at Maxine nakigaya na rin. Hehehehe

Papa's New Wardrobe

2009-10-12T08:43:00.004+08:00

I was looking for a unique on-line store that features almost everything and anything. So while I'm sweating out and working at home, I saved time from buying the things I needed with a great satisfaction! I can rest easy with no complains from ordering and delivering the products I just bought.

Today before going to work in Midsayap my father appreciated the men's wear I just bought for him as a thank you gift for the help he gave to my husband last month. He even told me that my taste is getting better! Well, he don't really like my fashion sense ever since I decided to become a witch until today.

He looks good on his pants! Papa even wondered how I estimated his measurements! Hahahahaha
I told him about my witchy spells and he laughed hard. But it was my Mom who helped me all through out the plan of giving him a gift from color-sizes!

Amazing Bags, Amazing Treats

2009-10-10T23:05:00.006+08:00

When I was a little kid, my mom would brought us all to church with one savvy bag hanging on her shoulder. All we needed were inside her bag. Now I'm also doing the same thing. Wherever I go, I'd always have a bag which is enough for my son's stuff like reading materials, mineral water, snacks,favorite toy, towels, hanky and etc. Having all of those things inside the bag will keep my sanity intact for the whole day!

So you can now imagine my need to look good while bringing all those stuff. Using an appropriate bag for each occassion helps me feel confident about my looks.

I have come to love shopping on line at http://www.shopwiki.com/wiki/Bags. For a busy mother like me, it is a hassle free shopping. I'm indeed turning like my mom. A bag shopper!

Calalily

2009-07-28T16:41:00.002+08:00

Calalily is my favorite flower ever.
Sabi ko nga sa nanay kong mahilig sa tanim bagay sa akin ang bulaklak na ito kasi enchanted parang ako. Di sa pumayag mas bagay daw sa aking maging Dama de noche. Kagila-gilalas! Hahahahahaha!Natawa tuoly ako kasi pati si Mommy nakikisali na sa kalokohan ko.

Jogging

2009-07-28T16:35:00.003+08:00

Jogging is what we do every mornings of Saturdays and Sundays!

Lover's in Paris

2009-07-23T16:06:00.002+08:00

I was in Davao when I texted my bestfriend Evelyn to visit me home.
We prefer kasi to spend time together in Dacoville (where we spent memories with janet during our college days) than strolling around in the mall. That way, I can cook for them. She appreciates my cooking kaya ko sya labs .

She was telling me the Korean telenobela na Lover’s IN Paris aired in AbsCBN. At that time, I was not watching any TV shows pa. Ewan kung bakit. I might be busy siguro working in the field. Imposible naman na I won’t watch TV kasi nung hindi pa nauuso ang internet at cable, apart from book reading, I’m a certified TV addict.

I smelled her! She loves that soap opera! She is really into Vivian and Carlo. Duda nga ako na until now, she’s not over yet ke Carlo! She was even amazed how Korean Artist do their story. Simple plot, basic boy meets girl story and yet, they can make the audience fall into the character so deeply.
I also remember discouraging her na hindi magaling ang Korean.
In-edit lang yan ng mga pinoy. Mas magaling pa rin ang mga Pinoy Bes!
Ganyan ang sinabi ko at marami pang iba. Not considering how involved she was sa soap na yun ha? Pero sadya ngang magaling magtago ng feelings si Bes kasi nga no argument happened. She makes everything smooth-sailing despite of all my panlalait sa mga Korean soap opera’s that she currently love watching. Nyeee…naisip ko tuloy ang sama ko naman, di ko pinakinggan si Bes! But don’t worry Bes, kinain ko naman yung mga sinabi ko.

After her visit, I made sure to watch the show. Believed me, just like other pinoy, na-hooked na rin ako ng Lover’s in Paris.

By August yata Piolo and KC will be doing the Pinoy version of it.
Pero mas panonoorin ko yata ang version ng Full House ni Richard Guttierez and feeling ko lang, yung kapatid ni Ara Mina ang magple-play ng role ng bidang girl.
Di ko kasi masyadong like si Piolo kapag hindi di Juday ang partner nya. Sa mga bagay na iyan, pasensya na, traditional ako.

Keep them real

2009-07-23T16:05:00.000+08:00

The house is never the same without them. I wanted to object when their Mom Cielo took them from us but I refrain from doing so. I knew how she feels living far away from her kids. I’m a witness how affected Maxine and Lean are. No matter how much we have shown love for the kids, iba pa rin ang pagmamahal ng ina. Itong puso ko, nasa mga bata. I’m also a mother. God knows how much I sacrificed for Bien and it was all worth it. My only question is that why can’t she sacrifice for her 3 wonderful daughters?

It was more than five months when she left the kids including her 6 months old baby to us. I honestly understood her feelings but whenever I saw Maxine crying quietly inside her room, I hate her. I hate her being so selfish. I hate her for not trying to fixed things up between her and my brother. I even hated my brother three times more than I hated Cielo.
Hate ko silang dalawa for giving that kind of life to their daughters!
Maxine telephoned us. In our phone dialogue she told us na wala silang baon sa school. She got no books!
It tear my heart into pieces. They’re never been in that situation when they were here.
My parents will provide for them. I will also make sure to buy some things we share to make fun. I facilitate their needs in schooling. They will sleep with me, watch Tele with me, laugh and play with me. We spend our whole day together especially when I’m just home.
Kaya nung umalis sila, masyado akong nanibago.
Cielo and my brother Darwin know what kind of relationship the kids do have to us. They were our babies and up to now, we still long for them.

Working Vacation

2009-07-23T15:19:00.003+08:00

While working as an Evironmental Writer, I had with me my most respected Photographer/Artist partner Yuri. She drives her own old car when we travel outside the City for work. We have fun and never felt like working at all.
Its already been five months that we have not work together so her visit to me yesterday was a big surprise. She came from a seventy-minute travel from Maasim, Sarangani Province with her brand new car. I'm not so sure about the brand so surfing acura tl review will help us visualize the newest model she got.

My astonishment seems endless. In my whole life I never imagine
owning a car. Riding a public utility jeepney, bus, and any other transportation vehicle is enough satisfaction. From there, I would have more chance of knowing my neighbors and other people I mingled with while mobiling publicly. But not for a few minutes yesterday while seeing her going out from the driver seat of her newly acquired baby. I'm aching to know more about scion tc. I just remember reading that in a magazine with a friend in a cafe last month!

I daydream of owning that kind of vehicle too! Driving it with my own witch like fashion attire while going back again to law school.

“Look at my new car!” she told me.
“Trouble-free. Everything is easy to use.” She added while my eyes, still glued to her car.
“Who gave you that?” I asked her . I touched the car slowly as if I’m confirming if its real or not.
“I bought it through net.” she answered.
And I said “Wow, great!”

We go out together and have the car tested in Oval Plaza, just in the City proper of General Santos. We texted Gladys and Nayumi to join us in our fun driving activity yesterday.
When Gladys and Nayumi saw the car, obviously, they felt the same way I do. Nayumi keeps on asking her about the a certain model of a car and so they talk about kia reviews

The car is easy to use. It is affordable and satisfaction is 110 percent guaranteed!

P.S. I Love You

2009-07-23T15:07:00.000+08:00

I read this book twice.
The first was in Midsayap last year while doing something and the second one was this week. I esteemed the story in my last reading. I was involved!

The person who crossed my mind is my good friend Jayvee. I remember her chaos during the time when her husband, a very good friend, go through a serious puwedeng fatal disease. He is better now and I truly thank God for that wonderful miracle.

In the book
Holly’s husband died. For a time, the wife grieved her loss. What amazes me was the way her husband, even in death, helped her survived and accepted the loss. In the end, Holly live her life again.

Why Ireland
Gerry, the deceased husband lived in Ireland. At the end of the story, in a way, the place was featured with its simple and astonishingly nice setting!
(Naisip ko rin na kaya pala napili ni Michael Jackson umi-stay ng two years sa Ireland after nung kaso nya dahil sa simpleng pamumuhay dun).

Remembering Jayvee
I remember Jayvee because I always wonder why she’s into Ireland and Irish human beings as well. I know the place is beautiful and the human beings too but I WONDERRRRRR still.

Inorder to satiate my curiosity I even tried reading books authored by Irish people like Frank McCourt, Alice Sebold and Cecilia Ahern.
It was only today that I appreciated Jayvee’s craze .
Jayvee seems to be very influential to me.
She brought me the koreanwave and now the Irishwave.
Ano pa kaya?
Hmm… an Irish music and food?
Why not…

Teka, sabog yata ang utak ko parati.
My thoughts are not organized.
Basta kung ano lang ang maisip yun ang isinusulat.
Idol ko kasi si Chowder ng Cartoon Network.
Scattered Brain! A-ha-ha! Di na bale.
Di ko naman kelangan magpataba ng ego.

The Half Blood Prince

2009-07-19T13:29:00.003+08:00

I was in the theater during the first day-showing of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Take note, first day and first hour of the worldwide showing.

I've been hoping that General City would also consider the worldwide showing of that movie. Kasi kung hndi, namu-mublema si witchy! Davao is a three-hour ride pa from GenSan. So ang sigurado akong mangyayari is tatawidin ko talaga ang mga bundok makapanood lang!
Ang babaw ko nga because I was really happy participating in that big event! Basta JK Rowling, I always consider it bIg tiMe.

I had with me my cellphone and have dialed my friend's number when the white-bearded Hogwart's master died in the story. Then, they will phone me back para sabihing masama akong tao for watching alone! YeP, tama! Masama talaga because when I'm into something, I wanted to be alone! Nang-asar lang kaya me tawag-kita-phone gimmik.

I'm done reading all the Harrypotter Books tapos yung pinaka-highlight para sa akin ay 'yung movie. Kaya gagawin ko talaga lahat makapanood lang ng first-day-first-hour!

Regarding the movie, I have no disappointments at all. Yun nga lang, bitin ang movie but there's nothing to worry kasi bitin nga talaga iyon kahit sa book.
It was really like that, once you are there, you would ask for more!
But in the end, I will assure you na makukuntento kang talaga.
Basta ako, nung natapos ko na lahat basahin, suwabe ang aking pagkabusog!

Naisip ko lang na if ever na hindi ko talaga nasubaybayan ang book, maloloka ako sa pagkabitin. Really, I'm glad to have eaten all the book series.

So right now, 'm busy reading the books again.

Siguro 'yung book seven hahatiin sa dalawang movie para lang magkasya ang buong story ng Harry Potter.

aahhh.... i can't wait!

Thriller

2009-06-28T18:04:00.001+08:00

Sa lahat ng JACKO music, ito 'yung pinaka-favorite ko.
It's a short-film-like, na MTV, na medyo may pagka-odd.
When I was a girl I used to imagine singing like him with a witchy-back-up dancers! "yung mga witch na sexy at bloody pretipul naman"

Michael Jackson is one of the greatest. Music nya yata yung parati kong naririnig while growing-up kaya lang at that time masyado akong loyal ke Madonna kaya medyo di ko sya napapansin. Isa lang naman ang sigurado, everytime I heard his music, nakikinig at nakiki-indak ako. Henyo nga syang talaga!
I'm just lucky to grow up with his and Madonna's era.

i'm just a little girl

2009-06-21T17:38:00.005+08:00

My room is filled with her music almost everyday!
Ayyy!!!! Napapalipad din ako, huh!
I truly enjoyed the show.
You know, if I'm going to describe my self in a song, ito na yun. Enchanted!

Reading Lolita in Tehran

2009-06-21T16:12:00.004+08:00

It was last year when I met my iranian client named Farley. In my months of working with her in Manganes Extraction Project, we've always talked about iranian writers who usually wrote their hardship during the revolution in the 90's. She gave me the book entitled PRISONER IN TEHRAN. I'm not sure about sharing that in my blog but this is about the experience of a sixteen year old girl named Marina Nemat who was arrested on false charges by Iranian Revolutionary Guards and tortured in Tehran’s notorious Evin prison. The book will teach us more about an extra-ordinary faith when facing evil.
Personally, I can't even imagine how to survive in the Evin Prison when all I can hear were pain, death, injustice.
Basta naramdaman ko na lang that I finished the book in one reading. I can not comprehend why on earth there are people who ruled their country like that. Kaya nga siguro kahit papano we are lucky for enjoying TOO much democracy. Hahaha. Iniiwasan ko na ang mag comment politically wala rin kasing patutunguhan. Ipinagdarasal ko na lang ang bayan natin na sana mapalayo sa mga demonyo. Kawawa naman tayong mga anghel.
~Going back to my real issue ~
Right now, I just purchased this book "Reading Lolita in Tehran".
I've seen the glimpse of this kanina in CNN while they're were featuring the Election fallout in that country.
Nagbakasakaling available sa bookstore at napangiti naman ako na nandun ang libro.
Aba, mas updated pa yata ako sa nangyayari ke Iran kesa ke Pinas. Tayong mga Pilipino hindi naman ganun ka-barbaric. Hindi yata natin kayang pagbaril-barilin yung mga nagra-rally. Pero sila ... grabe! I have not started reading the book yet but for sure I will in time na matapos ko na.
The last time I heard about Farley eh last year din. She was pregnant! I hope they are all fine.

2009-06-21T16:04:00.002+08:00

I'd like to say sorry ke Connie Myfriend kasi the last time na she was waiting for me online , nagbrown-out ! Kaya tuloy, medyo nagtatampo ang babaeng iyun sa akin. I've read all ur offlime messages Connie. heer up... cheer up... I'm still here. Don't worry. Our friendship will last di ito katulad ng sa inyo ni Mommy Arcel. I won't let u down. I'm a friend 'till the end Conniebaby! kissessss......

Andyeego Lexus P. Mendoza

2009-06-17T16:00:00.004+08:00

The name was inspired by Lex Luther of Smallville. He is the villain in the story. I love the mystery in him tapos hindi ko pa ma-define -define kung ano talaga ang laman ng utak nya. Kung susuriin mo, para bang ang lalim na di mo kayang wariin! That is why he got me.

Andee from Andy Garcia. His memory is set in a special place in my heart. Kelangan na talagang ma-visualize sa sarili kong buhay.

Lana Inyeego P. Mendoza

2009-06-17T15:31:00.005+08:00

If I'll get pregnant with a baby girl, her name would be Lanaa Inyeega P. Mendoza.

I was calling my husband yesterday about this. He was all laughing with the idea. I'm not getting any younger na. Bien hates it when I baby treat him. He will always remind me na binata na sya whewn we are in school. At kapag pinagpapawisan, di na amoy baby.

I also realized how sad it is having a small family. I've seen it in my husband's mother.

She's all alone now. She only have two sons. Both have their own family. Patay na rin kasi ang father ni Hubby. Kaya nga , we give effort to spend our special holidays with her in Davao.

Iba na rin kasi yung me kapatid si Bien. Para naman pag nawala na kami ng tatay nya meron syang kapatid na matatakbuhan o matutulungan.

Can't you see? Me senyales na that I'm getting old. Nagiging dramatic ang bruha.

Wahhhh!

Fine!

Ito na 'yung real reason why I wanna have kids.

Overwhelmed pa kasi ako sa TV series na Smallville.

Masyado kong mahal si Lex kaya dapat me significant remembrance sya sa life ko.

Maganda naman si Lana Lang at type ko yung episode kung saan siya ay na-possessed ng witch kaya medyo naging witchy ang fashion nya. Higit sa lahat, masyado kong nagustuhan ang motiff ng kasal nila ni Lex. Favorite flower at color ko pa ang ginamit.

Hehehehe

"ganyan lang talaga ako kababaw mga mare."

Lana (from Kristin Kreuk's character in Smallville)

Inyeego- (from the indigo color family which includes lavander, violet, purple)

Panu kung boylet?

Pinag -iisipan ko pa. pero syempre dapat andun ang pangalang lex luther.

Suggestion is open!

Going home

2009-06-17T15:01:00.004+08:00

When I saw my Mom and Lola getting inside the airport, that was when my tears really started to fall. I missed her.

Her stay with us lasted for 4 months but it always feels like forever.

My connection with my Lola is so strong. She loves everything I like. She told me that my genes were from her 100 percent. And yeah, I agree. We both love witchcrafty and The Buzz!

After three hours of travelling back to Manila with my Mom. Lola then texted me. She wrote: "I will never forget you until I live."

I cried again. I almost felt her wind touching me.

Si Lola talaga.....

Haiko

2009-06-17T14:58:00.002+08:00

Face marked with smile

Cold like an eering ice cubes

Oh, soft tears, hard life

2009-06-14T15:07:00.002+08:00

Kakapanood ko ng Smallville, nainlove na ako ng tulayan ke Lex Luther.
Mabait naman sya dito at para sa akin isa syang loveable na tao.
Yung the way sya magmahal, gusto ko ng ganun. Tahimik, mysterious at medyo psycho.
Katulad nya kasi ako, di ko maintindihan kung talaga bang isa akong mabuting tao o pakitang-tao lang.
Hehehehe... joke lang po.
Hayaan nyo, one of these days, magpo-post na rin ako ng kahit papano'y merong ka-sense sense na topic. For sure, lahat ay tungkol ke Lex.
I'm Over with Andy Garcia.
Si lex na ang kapalit.
Basta until now, naiisip-isip ko pa ang lalaking yun.
Hayzzz...
Sarap naman.... (laswa!)

Ann Brook, the caring psychic

2009-06-14T14:06:00.005+08:00

Most of my friends adore my talent in love psyhic reading. In fact our friendship started every time I would asked to read their palm and tell them things I know they would love to hear. Bitchy? Yeah... in a way. But there are feelings within me that pushes me to tell those words to them. I even wonder because most of it really happens. Its been like that for years until I have mastered it. Card reading and tarrot reading were one of the things I do that truly makes my friends, family and closest relative wonder as to where that talent came from.

It started during highschool were I predicted most of the students who would end up together and as to who are not meant to be.

I was known as the love fortune teller in our campus. For the whole time in highschool I have not enjoyed my own lovelife. I was just busy forecasting for those around me.

But in a way, that talent became so helpful to me in terms of gaining friends. They find it easy to be with me and most of the friendship I've got were brilliantly genuine.

In college, I've lessen doing those things.

I was even pre-occupied doing some other things most teenagers do.

But just today, I have the urge to do the witchy stuff again.

This talent I learned from the psychic book I read and I'm positive to learn more from Ann Brook.

Vaseline

2009-06-14T13:36:00.006+08:00

Bien was busy looking for his classmates and friends from grade 1 in his new grade 2 room. He was a little sad knowing that most of his closest friends were no longer his classmate. Other closed friends like Dominick and Jhoncooooolark moved residency. They have been together since kinder 1 so the feeling naman talaga is quite normal . It just amused me finding their friendship so pure.

This week, Bien's shool is busy screening those students who would fill the fast learner section in every grader. During my visit last Friday, his teaher told me about Bien asking him some question kung bakit 'yung isang classmate nya nung grade one na-remain pa rin sa fast learner section.

The teacher was so friendly relaying to me the story na nakatulong naman upang di ko maramdaman yung kaunting hiya sa kaprangkahan ni Bien.

It started when 4 of his classmates were crying kasi ililipat na sa ibang section. Bien tried to comfort them until he stand-up from his chair and asked some questions sa teacher.

Bien: Teacher, I have a question.

Teacher: Yes?

Bien: Bakit si PeXXX still in this section?

Teaher: (first reaction daw nya ay naka-smile) Because he knows how to read already.

Bien: Really?

He goes infront the whyteboard. Wrote the word VASELINE (Siguro kasi yun ang shampoo nya)

Bien: PeXXXXX You read this please.

Teacher: PeXXXX Bien is challenging you to read the word.

PeXXXX: Stands up sabay kamot sa ulo ulo nito. Then, he reads in syllable VA-SE-LI-NE.

Bien smiled.

Bien: Nahh... I told you teacher. He reads like a robot. Fast learners reads like this: VaSEline!

Some other classmates also raised their hands and read like Bien. Tapos sinabi nila ke teacher na pang fast learner din sila because thay can read fluently.

Actually nung naikwento na sa akin ni Teacher ito, quite lang ako. Walang reaction. It gives me a moment na pag-isipan kung yumayabang na ba ang personality ni Bien.

Yung kaprangkahan kasi nya, I no longer find it cute.

who would remain in the fast learner section. Some were already eliminated and transfered in other sections. and

2009-05-21T15:48:00.002+08:00

I'm actually thinking of unsubscribing my internet connection for a while until i will have new clients again. This is a part of my cost-cutting strategy. It's just that my son is too connected with the internet. He said he can not afford to sign off. Whoaa... cute!!! "yun lang ang sad part. But the rest is okey lang naman. Wala eh, positibo kasi akong tao kaya doon ako mag-i-istick sa mas tamang gawin.

It is more practical if the payment intented for smartbro will realign in to bookbuying.
So maybe next month, padalaw-dalaw na lang muna ako dito.
I hope you would still find time to visit my house.
So long!!!!!

Watching TV

2009-05-19T12:52:00.007+08:00

2009 is probably not my busy year! Since the beginning of summer I just spend my time reading books authored by my favorite filipino writers and from Ken Follet's novels. Sometimes when my eyes get tired, I go watching old movies and cable channels.
It feels good to be at home most of the time. Spending more moments with your growing kid and doing nothing together.
My husband loves it when I'm just home and I had this feeling that he likes it more when I'm not busy working. But the thing is, even at home, I can't help but get my self busy. In a way, I can say that I'm such a hyperactive mommy.

Just this morning, Ervien sent me some text messages telling me to visit the website about Direct TV and so I complied and after reading the content I was a bit interested.
I'm still thinking of subscribing it and I'm actually excited having the Direct TV Service right inside my home!

Come to think of it,Bien will be getting besthead start for his favorite playhouse disney channels. Hundred of channels to pick up for his imagination and learning skills important to childhood development everyday.

It surely offers a collection of an award-winning programs and learning based activity segments to engage and stimulate the imagination of my son's young mind and also mine as well!

Direct TV System will help me choose channels to watch that would help my son as he grows up and learn everyday.

My birthday

2009-04-20T20:38:00.005+08:00

Geeekk!
Birthday ko na bukas. Maghahanda ang nanay ko para sa akin. Si Papa Andrew naman me ibinigay na advance gift to me nung sunday pa. It's a titanium bracelet. Gamut daw ito. Sinisipsip ng bracelet na ito yung mga sakit-sakit sa katawan na nararamdaman ko. Meron sina Mom and Papa noon. Years na rin nila itong sinusuot and according to them napaka-effective naman.
At sa tuwing nakikita ko ang mommy, lola at ngayon ako na isinusuot ang titanium bracelet na bigay ni papa, natutuwa ako ng husto. Cute lang kasing tingnan na ang lahat ng bidang babae sa buhay nya ay me tatak na bracelet from him!

dalawang taon ko na ring naging ritual na kapag bday ko, hindi ako gagastos ng pera. Wala lang, sariling pamahiin ko lang naman na mas lalong lalago ang bulsa ko kapag ginagawa ko ang ritual na 'to. So far naman, ang pamilya at mga malalapit kong kaibigan ang gumagastos. Sarap no? I feel so important!

Tapos ngayon habang pinipindot-pindot ko ang keyboard na ito, biglang tumawag si Gladys. She is inviting me for a boracay mix party bukas ng gabi. Birthday ko daw kasi kaya maghahanda sila. Me duda akong mag-iinuman kami bukas ng gabi. Sayang wala si Daddy Ervs. Busy. Nasa ibayong bundok. Nakakamiss tuloy. But for sure I will be having an enormous day bukas. Yun naman ang dapat. Make way to be happy!

On my birthday, 31 na ko! Nine more years pa para magpasexy ng katulad ni Beyonce. Ayuko naman yung payat. Baluptos lang.... mas in yata yun. Hehehehe... nangangarap lang namang maging fabulous at 40! Wala namang masama dun.

Siyanga pala, I'm not really a fan of Kris Aquino pero kanina habang nakikipila ako sa grocery ng KCC upang bayaran ko ang binili kong quakeroats, nakita ko ang magazine ni Kris Aquino. Out na pala sa market 'yung newest issue niya. Binili ko kasi dun sa nakasulat na topic about "Ukay going glam"
Na-curious lang, kasi ifi-nityur ni Kris yung tungkol sa ukay-ukay.
Naka-relate ako, kasi maarte nga akong tao pero di ako bumibili ng morethan 100 pesos na damit. Di ko pa nababasa ang magazine but for sure I'm going to enjoy it.
Naalala ko tuloy si Jei.
Sya kasi yung talagang nagpu-purchase nga magazine ni Kris. Nakigaya uli ako. Hehehehe

Elvie and Chona Baby

2009-04-18T22:57:00.000+08:00

I had a good time connecting with my old friends and officemates just today.

Chona who is still employed in that agency and my other friend Elvie who is currently working in Singapore.

First Meeting with Chona.

We are in our twenties and still single when we started working together.

I remember Chona wearing her suit on my first day of work. She was in a red mini-skirt with a white tops roofed with a red blazer which made her look like an executive.

I was really thinking that she was my boss next to the Project Director Ma’am Venus Bermudo. That was why she made me so confused when she asked me kung nasaan nakalagay ang mga brooms ng opisina. I was new then so I told her honestly that I didn’t know. Kinabahan ako ng todong-todo. I keep on blaming my self for being so insensitive sa needs ng boss ko, only to find out na pareho lang pala kaming bago sa office noon. Upon knowing it, I was laughing so hard alone inside the comfort room. I can’t believed na na-loko ako sa porma ng babaeng yun!

Years passed by, we became not only a working mate but a friend as well. She married our office-mate Tonio. The couple were popular at that time. They made our mornings, afternoons and evenings complete! Inaabangan namin ang bawat scoop ng mag-asawang ito. They give us so much joys and laughter.

She didn’t know kasi that in her own ways, she can make us smile and laughed so badly.

Tonio and Chona was really a pair that I can’t forget.

My everyday is full of funny moments with her. I might have forgotten the exact scenarios but whenever I see her, I could still remember the pleasure it bears in my heart.

Fun with Elvie

She was a Dindi Gallardo look-a-like.

Carefree and flamboyant.

She was actually working with my mother-in-law in the other division where our office was connected. Maybe at that time, she was hearing something not so good about me, obviously, since me and my mom-in-law were still in the process of acceptance. These were just but a typical mom and daughter in-law scenario. The good thing is all were tolerable right now.

What I remember about Elvie is that she is always loud.

Kahit saan sya ilagay, napakaingay nya.

Pero, sobrang galing ng PR nya.

She can make you love her.

Kahit na yung mga Boss namin finds her amusing.

She got talent!

She is a terrific dancer.

A singer as well. She sings even better that Susan Boyle.

I am thinking nga right now, na kapag sumali lang yang si Elvie sa Survivor ng GMA, she will make it. Talented kasi sya. Walang sinabi si Ai ai de las Alas kung si Elvie lang man ang magpapatawa.

Ngayon nga that we were in a conference chatting, sobrang happy at tawa lang kami ng tawa. Paano pa kaya kung bibigyan si Elvie ng break sa showbiz?

She will make it.

I am sure of that.

footsteps on the ground

2009-04-18T07:09:00.006+08:00

I was delighted to be able to do the whole hiking in less than four hours with my Lola and still able to catch her smiles, the more she became alive and energetic. Regardless of what emtions life might be holding in reserve for her this year, she always found this experience happy to bear. She would always tell all my friends about her Mt. Apo trip when they visit me home.

We were dancing actually in that mountain to dutifully perform the rituals and dances she had taught me, but what I can see in her eyes is the yearning to be out in the world, to see a little nature.

It was an overcast and the clouds were very low but the physical exercise and the whiskey helped fend off the cold. The path was a little narrow for us to walk along side by side so I went ahead, my Lola followed, mom was in our back and Gina was busy taking pictures. It was hard to talk in these circumtances but we always do and even laughed together at times because my Mom really is a funny person. She can easily makes you laugh, that way we enjoy the nature around us.

She was gazing with a childlike fascination at the landscape. It was indeed a God's signature.

This was the moment were I felt like using all my senses. The path we were walking suddenly felt wider and all my senses were working. Then Lola murmured something to me. My heart was afraid. As I looked up the sky, I realised that this woman is important to me.

"Love-love,Ikaw ay laging magpakababa. Yumapak ka lagi sa lupa sapagkat diyan tayo nagsimula at diyan din tayo papunta." Lola told me.
It feels like as if the whole nature is seeping my soul. She began stroking my hair and prayed for me silently. Various thoughts flashed my mind. I no longer felt the cold then at last my Lola hugs me.
"Lola"
"Bakit, Ineng?"
"Mayabang ba ako?"
"Aba, Oo naman. Lahat ng tao ay me kayabangan. Kaya nga ang dasal ko ay lagi mong alalahanan na yumapak sa lupa."
I smiled to her and kissed her in her forehead.
I was such a good follower but it confuses me actually.
I told my mom about my feelings and she told me that I will get more confused if I still refused to believe na me kayabangan ako. I must believed that naturedly mayabang ako and in that way I can always keep my feet on the ground.
I tried and I realised that Lola is right. Kaya pala, literally, kaming lahat habang naglalakad ay di gumamit ng tsinelas. Kami ay nagpakababa at umapak sa lupa.
Being humble is morethan that, I would still have to learn it as long as I live.

Lola Sings

2009-04-17T09:59:00.005+08:00

Lola shared to my father how she had dream to reach the Holy Mountain as she calls Mt. Apo. Strongly, she believes that God will hear her more when praying on that highest tops in our country. The holy week made her dream came true.

And oh, my…….. she actually sings when she is happy!

Lola is in the bliss during our travel. The emotion is so much visible in her face. In fact very contagious that even us felt the aura! While she sings, the kids attentively listens to her. I was thinking that somehow I am so like my Lola.

I also sings when happy. Kahit na nasa mall pa ako o kaya nasa jeep with matching dancing pa yan. Kaya nga ako parating nakukurot ng nanay ko nung kadalagahan ko pa but now it’s my husband who would just smile when I do that thing. Ay… siguro nakyu-kyutan din si Daddy Ervs like how I find Lola very pretty singing in joy while we are mobiling!

My cellphone rings ( as rin ringing tune na kring….. kringggg….)

It's a message from my Mother who at that time sits beside Lola.

She texted me na “alam mo na kung saan ka nagmana?”

I smiled and looked at her habang si Lola ay nag-si-sing pa rin.

And so I replied….

“Bakit di mo kinukurot?”

“Bruha, ikaw kaya ang kurutin ko?” replied by Mom thru text pa rin.

And while reading it, pinigilan ko talagang tumawa kasi baka isipin ni Lola na mina-mock ko sya.

Happy birthday, dad

2009-04-16T05:49:00.005+08:00

Lift your head, baby, don't be scared
Of the things that could go wrong along the way
You'll get by with a smile
You can't win at everything but you can try.

Baby, you don't have to worry
'Coz there ain't no need to hurry
No one ever said that there's an easy way
When they're closing all their doors
And they don't want you anymore
This sounds funny but I'll say it anyway.

Boy I'll stay through the bad times
Even if I have to fetch you everyday
We'll get by with a smile
You can never be too happy in this life.

In a world where everybody
Hates a happy ending story
It's a wonder love can make the world go round
But dont let it bring you down
And turn your face into a frown
You'll get along with a little prayer and a song.

(Too doo doo...)
Let me hear you sing it
(Too doo doo...)

In a world where everybody
Hates a happy ending story
It's a wonder love can make the world go round
But don't let it bring you down
And turn your face into a frown
You'll get along with a little prayer and a song.

Lift your head, baby, don't be scared
Of the things that could go wrong along the way
You'll get by with a smile
Now it's time to kiss away those tears goodbye

(Too doo doo...)
Let me hear you sing it
(Too doo doo...)

'Wish you are here....
Happy birthday, Dad!

May all your dreaMs come true .
This song is for you.
Kisses...muwaaahhhh ..muwahhhh...muwahhhhh

Dancing with the mountain

2009-04-15T14:40:00.005+08:00

Hot sun as warm as the kissing of the wind
Fooststeps in perfect time
Heartbeat as loud as the whisper in the wood
Hold me this dance is mine
The dance is mine

We are alone, your love excites me
You are the earth moving inside me

I feel like dancing with the mountain
Feel the rhythm walking on air
Feel like dancing with the mountain
Feel the rhythm dancing with the mountain

We climb up into the shelter of the sky
Footsteps on higher ground
Your voice as soft as a river running dry
Hold me this dance is mine

We are alone, your love's exciting me
You are the earth, moving inside me

I feel like dancing with the mountain
Feel the rhythm walking on air
Feel like dancing with the mountain
Feel the rhythm dancing with the mountain

I feel like dancing with the mountain
Feel the rhythm walking on air
Feel like dancing with the mountain
Feel the rhythm dancing with the mountain

My Mom and My Dad

2009-04-14T17:24:00.009+08:00

We took-off early from General Santos City to Mt. Apo where we spend our Holy Week.
We had taken our brunch in Kidapawan Plaza's river-side at around 11 o'clock. Imagine, all of us had only bread and hot choco for a breakfast. But despite of that, we were so happy travelling! Para bang ngayon lang kami uli nakalabas ng GenSan.

The plaza had a simple, cozy and quite ambiance. It is amazing! Napasarap tuloy ang kain ko.
We had our baon na niluto ko at ni Gina (My Mom's adopted sister) na parang kapatid ko na rin. Kapag kami pa namang dalawa ang cook, masarap talaga.

After eating , we strolled the area. The kids were busy gracing the mini-zoo. They saw some of the wild animals and they joyfully played in the playground.

I was with Gina and my Lola watching the scenery in the area.
We also saw Mom and Dad in their sweet moment. Para silang bagong lovers na nag-dedeyt!
"Ang sweet talaga ni Pat, hane?" Ani ni Lola sa akin.
"Oo nga" sagot ko naman ke Lola.

Di namin mapigilang ngumiti. Ke ganda nga namang pagmasdan na even in that age, they're still sweet.
I'm used watching this sight esp at home pero mas nakaka-touched palang pagmasdan if you would see your parents dating like a newly weds at katulad ng mga lovers rin na nag de-deyt dito sa plaza na nakasabayan namin. The difference is that, they're younger. Sumisibol pa lang yung love nila. Kina Mom and Dad, crunchy na.
Tested by time.

Me nakita nga akong ngalalambutsingang lovers. Feeling ko mga highschool pa lang yung mga yun.
Naisip ko agad si Leslie. Panu kaya kung sya yung nilalamutak ng ka-date?
I dont know how would I react.
"Yuckk Tita. Kalu-od sa girl o. Naga-kiss sa boy!" bIglang enter ni Leslie from my back.
"Luka, mas lu-od kung naga-kiss sa kapwa girl." sagot ko naman.
"Ewww..." si Leslie pa rin.

Hinila ko na palayo. Baka saan pa mapunta ang usapan namin.
hehehehe
Si Mom and Dad pa naman bida ko ngayun.

Conversation with God

2009-04-14T16:58:00.003+08:00

I don't know how to make our God happy but at this moment of my life I wanna do something worth that will satisfy Him.
In that mountain I prayed so hard . I wanted to feel Him.
After an hour, I cried. I don't even know why.
And so I continue crying.
With no reasons at all.
but deep inside my heart
I feel happy.
I feel light.
I knew that God touched me.
With out words, I had my conversation with God.

After the Holy week in Mt. Apo, I've come to love having a few moments with God in my room especially during dawn time.
It feels happier.

Second good thing

2009-04-03T03:25:00.005+08:00

I have already shared the story of my sister-in-law who went back to her mom and dad because of personality differences with my brother. For some reason she and my mom decided to coninue the studies of my nieces here. That decision made my Mom love her more than ever. The two became really good friends. She came here in GenSan (for a visit) with an open arms from us. I know my brother is happy everytime she is near kaya lang siguro yung pride nilang dalawa ang pumipigil sa kanilang magkabalikan.

Wala namang nakikialam. Kahit kinikilig kami kapag nagmamatigasan ang dalawa, hindi pa rin kami nakikialam sa kanila.

And so she came back here to celebrate the first birthday of their daughter Lyrha kasabay na rin ang pagkuha kina Maxine and Lean para naman makapagbakasyun sa kanilang lolo at lola na nakabased sa Davao del Norte.

During the party, nakamasid ang lahat sa kilos ng mag-asawa. Syempre the kids were very happy. Complete ang family kasi. Wala ng tatalo pa dun. Pero sana magkabalikan na at magkapatawaran. Or sana ma-realized nilang dalawa na in a relationship, kailangan talagang mag sacrifice. Matutong magtiis, umunawa, at pagsumikapang i-respeto ang isa't -isa.

" Aba'y Enle, para silang si Sharon at si Gabby." ani ng Lola ke Mommy habang nakamasid sa dalawa.
"Nanay, di naman nagkabalikan yung dalawa. Hwag naman sana." Sagot ng mommy.
Umentra ako kasi di alam ng Mom and Lola na nasa likod lang pala si Ruffaya (hehehe, joke lang po)
"Hoyysss... anu ba yan. Magkakabalikan yang silang dalawa Mom.
Ala Martin and Pops." sabi ko.
"Di pa naman nagkakabalikan sina Martin at Pops." Hirit ni Lola
"Pero magkakabalikan yang dalawa." si Lola uli.

I keep quiet. But like my mom, the kids and my Lola, I am also wishing for a happy ending.

So the second best thing happened today is when Cielo and darwin gives us hope that they will patch things up.

First good thing

2009-04-03T03:18:00.004+08:00

"Bien, ayusin mo naman yung posing mo."
"Ahh, Mom, mas maganda ito."

But he also posed naman ng nakaharap. Kinum,binsi ko pa ngang pictyuran sya ng nakatalikod pero sabi nya pang witchyboop lang yun. Ayaw nyang gayahin. Ahahahahaha!

There’s two good things we celebrated yesterday.

The first one was Bien’s recognition in grade one.

He was a bit disappointed for making it top 6 in his class but at the end of the recognition program, he realized that all his classmates who made it in top ten deserves the ranking.

I asked him what made you realized that?

“It’s in the record, Mom” he answered shrugging his shoulder.

It’s more important to realized how we have done things. I think my son was disappointed because he did not make it good during those days where in he still have the chance to make his academics better.

“Bien this is something worth celebrating for. You must be happy. Kung disappointed ka, just make it better the next time. Me bukas pa naman.” I said to him.

“How about my future?” he asked again. Natawa ako.

“What about your future?” tapon-tanong ko uli sa kanya.

“’Yung future gud, if I have my work,tapos mag-asawa na kami ni Cammille.”

“Ah, hindi naman porke you have no honors eh wala ka ng future. Bunos yung me honor ka kasi parang it’s a gift from your self that you were recognized at the end of the school year. You also make your Mom and Dad very happy kasi pinapapawi mo yung hirap nilang maghanap-buhay para mapa-igi ang future mo. But it doesn’t mean na wala kang future kung wala kang medal.”

I was looking at him seriously pero para bang kulang pa yung mga explanations ko.

“Mc Do tau?” Aya ko sa kanya.

Hindi sya excited! He usually shows excitement kapag niyaya ko ng ganun.

Neh, sabi ko sa sarili ko, explain na pud!

“Sad ka talaga?”

“Di naman, iniisip ko lang.” Bien said while we were riding a jeep going to Mcdo.

“Bakit mo iniisip?”

“Gusto kong malaman eh.” Ani ni Bien

“May future ka, believe me. You are a good son and I am sure in time, you will be a good father and a husband as well.” Hirit ko.

“Just like my Dad?” Tanong ni Bien, nakangiti na.

“More than your Dad.” I assured him.

“Happy na ako Mom. I will do better the next time. I asked man my teacher kanina what is wrong. She said kasi daw pangit ang writing ko. Alam ko na, magpractice ako mag write this summer.”

“Sige, tulungan kita.” Sagot ko naman habang ginugulo ko ang damit nya.

Typical kid kasi when we were in Mcdo, nakalimutan na niya yung mga things that made him worry. Or siguro nasagot ko ‘yung mga tanong niya.

Ethan 2

He sings!!!!

Parang katabi ko lang si Ethan while watching him with my whole family!
Si Mommy kinikilig habang ang Papa naman ay nakangiti.
The kids were all shouting Ethan's name.
My Lola naman is a little surprised how Ethan grow that big.
He is so cute.
Patriciong-patricioooo...

Ang Lola Angeles ko

2009-03-27T11:23:00.004+08:00

My Lola is spending her vacation here in Mindanao. Matagl na rin naming inaaya here at kung hindi pa nagtampo ang Lola sa isang anak dun, di iyon magpapasundo ke Mommy. I was in Grade One the last time she was here. First Honor pa ng ako nga ako nung grade one at siya pa ang nagsabit ng medal ko sa leeg. (Yung pagiging first honor ko, di ko man nagamit when I started looking for a job, nagamit ko namang pangyabang ke Bien ngayun)She really can't walk much na. Obvios na nasasaktan syang lumakad and she is too careful na ibina-balanse ang katawan so that she can walk well. It pains me seeing her na ganun keya lang Mom told us na hwag ipapakitang naawa ke Lola because she's not going to like it. At kung gusto namin syang tulungan lumakad dapat hindi obvious na inaalalayan namin sya.

And so I talked to her a lot kapag me pupuntahan sya, kunyari parang yakap ko lang ang hips nya pero inalalayan ko pala ang Lola nun. Tingin ko naman alam ng Lola na niloloko ko lang sya. She is sharp. She can read your mind through ur eyes at nakupooo...magaling syang manghula. Naaaliw naman po sya kapag sya na uli ang hinuhulaan ko.

I'm with her kasama ang Mommy hanggang makatulog sya. At kapag tulog na sila , balik na ako sa room ko. Best part ng moment na yun is yung nakikita ko ang mommy at sya na nagtatawanan, nagkukuwentuhan. Narealized ko tuloy that we are so lucky for this wonderful chance. Chance ke Mommy and Lola na makakagawa sila uli ng good memories. Chance para sa aking discovery na sa kanya ko pala namana ang halos lahat ko na traits.
Makuwento
Mahilig magbasa
Mahilig sa bata
hindi madamot
Mahilig sa mga kuwentong engkanto, artista, tikbalang, at iba pa.
Higit sa lahat ang Lola ko pala ang original na witchy boop.
Malaki puwet, malaki dodo, maliit ang waist line at hanggang ngayun sa edad nyang otsenta maarte pa rin, mahilig mag make-up, at araw -araw naglalagay ng gata at kalamansi sa katawan.
Sabi ng ibang friends ko, kamukha ko raw sya kaya lang, ako yung matangkad na version ni Lola.

Chance rin for the kids na makita at makipagkwentuhan sa Lola nila sa tuhod. Ang topic ng mga bata ke Lola, mostly, ay yung gyera noong panahon pa ng Hapun.

Kanina lang natuwa ako kasi kuwento nya sa akin na sya raw ay isang tanga na humahanga ke Sharon at ke Gabby. Kung magkakapelikula ang dalawang yun, sasamahan ko raw syang manonood ng sine.

Aba! Lola!!!! Ang sagot ko.
Manonood tayo!

Napangiti ang Lola at ako ay kanyang niyakap. Niyakap ko rin naman ng buong puso at hinahalik-halikan ang Lola sa batok.

Ayyy... naisip kong mana nga ako sa kanya.

Dahil na inspire ako ngayun, naisip kong panoorin yung mga movies compilation ni Shawie na iniregalo ko ke Jei. ( Pwede kayang mahiram yun, gang?) nyehehehe...

Ngayun naman habang idina-download ko itong debut party ni Sharon at video clips ng kasal nilang dalawa ni Gabby , katabi ko si Lola. Masyadong excited!
First time daw nyang mapapanood ang debut at kasal nilang dalawa ni Gabby!
Buti na lang me You tube!~
Nakuuu..... para po kaming bata ni Lola.
Masayang-masaya kami na makakapiling namin sina Sharon at Gabby ngayunnn.
O siya,,, manonood na kami.

See yahhh...

Bien's Funny Pilipino Komiks for kids
and the Discovery Magazines he is enjoying to read.

2009-03-23T21:39:00.008+08:00

Bien's summer vacation is coming.
Since he is no longer busy in school, he finds time reading more magazines, komiks and books. Most are science related and comical stories.
He would tell me that he will going to blog the articles he had been reading from Discover Magazine but he would end up posting articles about her favorite cartoon network show Ben Ten.
He sleeps with his cousins Lean ( yang batang natutulog na nakasuot ng green gown ~ At kung makapag-pose, parang ako! Carefree !!!)
Before going to sleep, he would read. I have been wanting that naman. Kaya nga kahit namumulubi ako, I would still bring him to bookstore para mamili ng bisyo.
At umiinom pa sya ng Cali Shandy! (paminsan-minsan lang naman.)
When I came back from Banga, ang hininging pasalubong ni Bien ay Komiks hindi toy!
Nakakatuwa!
Na-e-enjoy ko na ngang masyado ang anak ko na ito.
Sarap i huug lagi!

Books

2009-03-23T21:39:00.004+08:00

Natuwa naman ako while reading some books of Bob Ong.
Nasabi nya kasi dun sa libro na me nabili syang books na kung saan ay me copy rin ako.
Matagal na rin ito sa akin. Malapit na ngang maging antik (~tuwa~).
Kung si Bob Ong binili iyun dahil sa disappointment sa kakulangan ng mga books authored by filipinos tungkol sa pagsusulat, ako naman ay sadyang binili yun dahil pinangarap kong makapag-sulat din ng romance novel.

Past time ko kasi nung college ang tumambay sa Victoria Plaza at maghanap ng mabibiling second hand books sapagkat di kaya ng baon ko ang bumili ng mamahaling libro. At that time, wala pang Gaisano Mall or SM or National Bookstore sa Davao. Kaya maligaya na ako sa Victoria Plaza.

In a way natutunan ko ang mga technical aspect ng pagsusulat for komiks at pocketbooks sa librong iyun. Di naman din kasi itinuro yung mga bagay na yun nung college pa ako. Ang pinaka the best part dun ay yung naiintindihan ko kung paano sinusulat ang mga komiks at romance novel na binabasa ko buong magdamag.

Kapag naman masyado akong na-hooked ng story, di ako natatakot umabsent o kaya'y ma-late sa school kahit na me exam pa ako (proud pa ha?).

Yung Trip to Quiapo ni Ricky Lee ay sadya kong pinabili sa Manila. My cousin send it to me. Wala lang, gusto ko kasing malaman yung difference ng turo nya sa script writing compared to my teacher noong araw. Masyado na kasi ang bilib ng iba kung classmate ke Sir samantalang ako, ni hindi ko man lang makapa kahit na kunting paghanga sa kanyang style of teaching. (Mahirap talaga akung i-please noong araw)

Ricky Lee came to visit my school. Workshop yata yun na kung saan siya ang aming speaker. Medyo boring syang pakinggan kasi nga malumanay kung makipag-usap si Mr. Lee but that was one of the best moment I ever have during those days.
Ang pinanghihinayangan ko lang naman ay yung hindi ko naitanung sa kanya ang mga bagay bagay na gusto kong itanong. Lintek! Nahiya kaasi ako nun! Grabee... na-shock nga ako sa sarili ko kung bakit ko naramdaman ang damdaming iyun. Shit talaga kasi looking back, natatawa na ako.

Me mga story to tell pala yung ibang mga bagay na naitago na natin.
Di ko na sana mapapansin ang mga librong ito kung hindi ko nabasa ang buk ni Bob Ong.
Na-touched ako kaya tuloy ini-a-arrange ko ulit yung mga libro kong kinokolekta.

With a fishnet stocking, see-thru-up-dress,odd shoes~~ is somewhat being me

The beauty of Witchyboop
Is not in the clothes she wears,
The figure she carries,
Or the way she combs her hair.

The beauty of Witchyboop
Must be seen from her eyes,
Because that is the doorway to her heart,
The place where love resides.

The beauty of Witchyboop
Is not in a facial mole,
But the true beauty of Witchyboop
Is reflected in her soul.

It is the caring that she lovingly gives,
The passion that she shows,
The beauty of Witchyboop
With passing years-only grows.

Parang taon na ring di namin nakikita ang pamangkin kong si Ethan. He is looking healthy katulad ng iba ko pang pumpangkins na dito nakabase sa Philippines.

Kainis... sana kamukha ko sya... tisoy!
My brother told me na mahirap ang buhay sa labas ng bansa natin.
Iba pa rin ang Pilipinas.
What he misses most eh yung maiinit nating dagat.
Iba nga talaga... kasi gusto kong makakita ng totoong snow. Yun lang, wala ng iba pa!
Someday it will come true.
I just hope to still blog it here.

No Secrets Here

2009-03-11T06:21:00.006+08:00

“I don’t like lying in bed totally exposed even if we are already married I still prefer to keep my husband imagine every article of me.”

I always hear my Mom talking that way to her friends in a closed-door topics. Obviously, I’m eavesdropping but somehow it influence me as I was growing up.

Now that I’m married I consciously keep my skin to be not always so exposing to him. I think that strategy has magic. In our intimate moment together he loves it when I’m wearing my sexy lingerie. It is more sexier than being naked. You can play using your creativity that would tickle your partner’s imagination.

Everytime we are together is like a honeymoon. My sexy clothing is always filled with lace and furry hand cuffs with the scent of apple in our room. In my making-s0-sexy-love-mood I wear my lingerie that is sexy on top fishnet with a G-string undies <"blushing"> . That's it! Ha ha ha!

When given a chance, I would also love to have a lingerie -pose for collectors and artist (that is if they want a witchlike form masterpiece!)

Your Birthday Predicts You're Outgoing

Ever since you were born, you've always been able to have fun.

You find humor and joy easily. When things are rough, you are still optimistic.

Your friends always inspire and delight you. You're always looking to add to your social circle.

You need to be around other people to feel truly happy and energetic.

What Does Your Birthday Predict About You?

I'm wondering why do we need to read things that we already knew about us?
Hehehe.... well, I have fun naman doing this.
Pero gawin ko kayang mas nakakainis ito?

Bes? anu man? Is these true? Tama ba ang nakasulat?
(o diba, pinakokonfirm ko pa yung mga bagay na alam ko na?)

As in nahimuot pa ko until now.
