Still Known for Crap!

I don't want anything to do with this lady...this is what i had in mind the first time i met...

it's been a hi hello sort of thing whenever we see each other...even with that, i still hear a lot of bad things coming from her about me/us. see? who wouldn't want to stay away from her?

a couple of months back, we had the chance to reach out to each other, and i just did that...why? i don't know really, maybe because there's still some "good" left in me? first month was goody-goody, coz we were establishing communication...i on my part was really sincere, trying to forget whatever notions i had about her, i was more than willing to give it a shot...

BUT, i was all wrong. She hasn't changed after all! Instead of her being happy with whatever accomplishments we have, all she can think OF is JEALOUSY! Everything she learns about us, she uses it against us for her own glory. Is that being fair? Now i'm cutting all communications with her...Let her find it the hard way!

To you: live a life ok? Soak in your own misery! You can tell tales without malice right? But that's how you are! That's why you are miserable! And I really pity you!
tsk, tsk...

Gerbie My New Baby

Hi! My name is Gerbie, a 6 month-old Pug. I'm the newest baby of a hip and cool Mom!

My biggest surprise of the day came at 3 this afternoon. Nelson came home with a Pug in tow. Apparently he saw how deeply affected i was over the demise of Gello. Yes, i really cried at the Animal Clinic when we went there this morning to settle Gello's bills.

Thank you so much Sweet for going out of your way to buy me a pup just to cheer me up!


Meet my soul brother Popoy, 2 months old!

I sent Cuz a text message inviting her to have coffee at Kohikan in Greenhills with our babies and our Men later in the evening, which she agreed. I was really laughing hard when she alighted her car with Popoy and a Yaya in tow, and i went like Whoa! Popoy has a yaya! Isn't that cute? We had fun, so with our babies who became instant celebrities!

Who's Jumping With Joy?

I AM! I have a new toy, given to me as an anniversary present! Yahoo!



The funny thing, i don't know how to use it yet (i don't like reading manuals you know), but i guess this time i have to...it's totally different from mobile phones, and it's useless and trying hard owning one if you can't make full use of it...

First on the list is getting used to sending sms using the stylus...yes talking about being cheap, i'd rather send sms than call...

Can This Be True?

While cruising EDSA last night, I chanced upon this billboard Jobsdb.com ...upon reaching home, eager as I am to look for a part-time job, i checked the site...and voila, classified ads indeed...

This ONE caught my attention...since i am using the internet 24/7 (uber), why not earn a few bucks? You think this is true? Can someone give light to this? Or can someone help me find a job similar to this? i mean working from home, online...coz for now, at my age, there's hardly a job for me, unless it's my own business...and putting up a business is not in the picture at the moment...

Almost Paradise

Everytime Nelson has a pre-nuptial shoot at Tagaytay Highlands, i usually cancel what ever is lined up for the day...yep, i just love the place...i love everything about it, starting from the time we leave our house...i love dropping by the two gasoline stations on the way to Santa Rosa...i like the stretch from Sta. Rosa going to Tagaytay (even if we encountered a hair-raising incident years back which until this day we cannot explain)...dropping by at Adidas and Nike Outlets...having dinner at Dencio's Grill...having dessert crepes at Cafe Breton...having coffee at Starbucks in one of the gasoline stations...etc.

Boxing For Fitness

Boxing training will make you physically stronger and aerobically fitter. The challenge of learning new skills (skipping rope, speedball work etc) in a unique, exciting and safe atmosphere, builds confidence. Boxing training provides one of the most demanding full body workouts of any sport. Boxing will increase muscle tone, lower body fat, improve reflexes and upper body strength. You can work at your own pace and achieve your personal Goals.

A friend (owner of a boxing gym) has been convincing me and Nelson to go into boxing for some time now...after giving it much thought, i said why not? so i sent an SMS to Cuz , inviting her if she'd like to join me...the first question she asked was, is it tiring? I told her that she can work at her own pace... she didn't need much convincing...yay! we're gonna try it out on Tuesday, since Thursdays and Saturdays are reserved for belly dancing. Yes, were not giving up belly...it has it's own benefits you know...

I was invited by Justice to the dedication rites of "C3" their youngest child at Alabang Country Club...when i got the sms from her, i told her that i couldn't make it... (1) i was with my family at Edsa Shangri-la (2) i don't have a ride...but my dearest Cuz was ever willing to fetch me and bring me home...yay! so i told cuz, please don't mention that i'll be going with you, i want to surprise her...and indeed she got surprised! It was a beautiful "ceremony", a very simple one...

Justice with her family

Weekend At Edsa Shangri-la

The family is always looking forward to this kind of treat especially the kids...wrong timing it may seem coz there's still their english exams on Monday, but just the same they still had their share of fun...

My darling boy's famous pose

this is part of the deal...they can go swimming but have to answer the remaining reviewers i made *my, my, what a strict mom i can be*

what a way to relax...i too can spend the whole afternoon staying by the poolside

in the evening, we left the kids with their yayas (nannies)...thinking that we were to go clubbing or at least just a "one for the road" as agreed...but we ended up watching "Bewitched" instead...which is fine by me, coz he promised that we're gonna do it after the movie...but hello, we passed by the Shangri-la Mall which had it's weekend treat, a band playing...he just passed by it, no plans of staying...i go...oh ok, hoping that we will still have it over at the Lobby Lounge or somewhere in the hotel...went to the hotel to check on the place, and he goes...i don't like it here...arrrghh...so there goes the clubbing or the one for the road i was sooo looking forward to...geez, this is the thing i really hate the most about him...he doesn't usually fulfill his promises and even though how much i call his attention, he really doesn't learn...how else should i communicate...TELL ME!

Good/Sad News

The good news is my car's having a complete "make over" in addition to the existing ARB bumper and the 2 fog lights. This time, it's gonna be a 3-in suspension lift using Bilstein Shocks, Jaos Mag Wheels with Procomp 31-in all terrain tires...and whatever there is...you see, im planning to join a 4x4 Car Show in September...and i have been bugging Nelson for two years now to fix and beautify my car just like his...i want it to be the adopted junior of his Nissan Patrol...how cool can that be!

And the sad news is, i won't be having my car for more than a month....aarrggghh!...there goes my social life...i will be stuck here at home...i can't believe it...but knowing me? nah, that's not gonna happen...i can drive the van or the pick-up, all in the name of "good time"...

Justice...a Revelation

Had a scheduled date with Cuz , Justice and Mommy Ganda (justice's Mom) to watch the show of Kuh Ledesma and ZsaZsa Padilla at the Captain's Bar of the Mandarin Oriental...but before that, i had to go to the birthday celebration of Nelson's brother at the 7 Corners Restaurant over at the newly opened Crowne Plaza...too bad i was not able to watch their opening number as i was stuck in traffic because of a heavy downpour...but i was just right in time to witness Justice sing to the crowd's delight...it was Kuh's turn on stage and sang I will Survive...while singing, she came down the stage, stopped at our table (yep, we had the "bestest seats", right in front, right in the center...thank you Justice for going out of your way to reserve the seats for us) and she goes..."are you shy?" referring to justice, and Justice goes "nah, im not"...and that started her "singing career"...yep she sang 1 stanza of the song, and we all went WOOOOO!!!GO JUSTICE! GO JUSTICE!...it was really fun...Mommy Ganda was so proud of her daughter...even i was proud of her too...

I love ZsaZsa more than Kuh...ZsaZsa gave her all, while Kuh was the more reserved one...and for their encore, they sang The Prayer, the best rendition so far for two female singers(my opinion)...





Again i had a lovely evening with lovely people...thank you for your company...twas nice to meet you Mommy Ganda...

The Empty Bottle...(almost)

I got an early SMS from cousin-in-law Gerry that we were to celebrate Ate Marlene's (sister-in-law) birthday at Ratsky, Tomas Morato...so after my belly class, i requested Cuz if she could drop me off at the agreed place since i didn't have my car with me because of MMDA's number coding scheme...thank you cuz!



they had the usual bag routine check...and the guard goes ...what's that you're holding referring to my almost empty water jug...and i said water...why? and he goes, Ma'am bawal po ang drinks sa loob (you can't bring in drinks), you can leave it at the counter...and i go What? can't you see that it's almost empty? sometimes its really hard to argue with those people, so what i did, i threw the contents at the nearby cigarette bin...here...can i go in now? (stupid)






HAPPY BIRTHDAY ATE MARLENE!
If wishes came in rainbow colors...i'd send you the brightest one to say, Hope you have a birthday that's as nice as you are!
