Sorry I have not written anything till now guys, I was a little under the weather but I'm ok now. Ok enough to have done my nails hihi I colored it purple weeehh how cute is that? I have not grown my nails long for awhile now and I thought "why not, I'm not student anymore" so I did. Its funny how dada threatens me with a nail cutter everytime I scratch his arm playfully.^_^
Btw, I find typing a bit hard coz I don't want to ruin my newly painted nails!
I know that deep down no matter how a person loves to not settle and just be everywhere eveytime; a desire to stay rooted or at least have a home is still a priority. That is why people have Home Plans for their dream houses where they will spend with the people they love most. Planning that perfect house is easier said than done though. The designs, materials and prices can be really confusing and frustrating but these days, help is only a click away.
House Plans and More takes the stress out of building your dream house. They work hand in hand with you in making sure you get what you deserve; only the best out of the budget you have. Whatever and however you want your abode to be, they always have something to fit your needs.
My personal favorite would be the Log home plans. There is something about the cozy rustic look that makes it so ideal a place to live in.
I'm part of our site's EET so we will be spending the night later at Vistamar for some of the last minute touch ups. Oh there is still so much to be done and to be honest I feel a bit guilty because I feel like I’ve contributed much. Not that I didn't want to, it was just that I was tide up with work and blogging.
I promised Tadz I will really do everything I can to contribute later and tomorrow. I will write about the Post-Summer Outing on Sunday guys, with picz of course!
If you like listening to your car radio while trying to beat traffic or maybe hum to your favorite tune in your bedroom, then you will be thrilled to know that you can now hear and experience your favorite radio program with digital quality. FM or AM has never sounded this wonderful before, thanks to HD radio.
Listening to your favorite new country music stations is now better than ever. But of course don’t just take my word for it. I never really understood the difference until I listened to Florida High Definition Radio stations. HD Radio has taken leaps and bounds in changing the way people listen to the radio.
Of course, nothing compliments HD Radio better than your Polk Audio I-sonic ES2. The sound quality is simply at its finest. Since I listened to how it sounds online, I can not wait to get my hands on my very own HD Radio receiver. The best thing about all these is; it’s free. No fees or subscriptions.
I feel terrible guys. It’s a bad case of flu, I’m really hot and with that I don’t mean my libido is shooting up the roof. To add to that, I’m all alone because dada is off to work tonight. I hate this feeling.
This ferry disaster is bringing on too much heat. Current reports say that there are over 700 passengers in total and yet only a frustratingly small number is turning up alive daily. I do hope more survivors will be discovered everyday. I wonder what it was like for those who have fallen victims. I wonder what the last few minutes of their lives were like. I know it must have been painful beyond words.
Almost everyone is busy pinning the blame on someone. What difference will it make to those who are already dead? Sulpicio is blaming the Philippine Coast Guard and vice versa. Well they both should share the blame, they both are accountable. I’m so sick and angry of these two throwing facts at each other for the purpose of saving their own arse!
I saw in one reality show where a woman’s house was given a classy make over. Gone were her old furniture, crappy rags and even the boring wall. Her house just looked amazingly different. She now has a cartwheel bench, glass sink, and a really marvelously huge painting. An empty corner was even transformed into a reading nook, isn't that something? She nearly cried when she saw the transformation.
Remember I said I don’t read, listen or watch the news because I find the content depressing? Well just out of nothing better to do, I did and I’m now feeling depressed and even guilty. I read about the havoc caused by Typhoon Fengshen (Bagyong Frank). I knew that some families lost their homes but I didn’t know till now that so many died. Drowning, bloated, flesh blue or falling off is not a way to die. The rising figures of those who are missing or confirmed dead makes me shudder.
I feel guilty because I have not even whispered a prayer for the victims. While other Filipinos fought to stay alive last Saturday, I shopped in utter gaiety with Wena. I envy those brave souls who risked their lives to try to save others. I wish I could have done something too but I just complained about the weather and the power interruptions, that’s all I did.
So I guess this is my way of informing everyone how selfish I have been and for that I’m sorry. It is time I feel and care and help in making everyone do so as well.
The capsizing of the magnificent Sulpicio ship MV Princess of the Stars is such a horrific tragedy. Who would think that this giant passenger vessel a.k.a the largest inter-island ferry in the country would be reduced to nothing but another one of the mighty ocean's static collection located on its bed.
No need for too much talk guys, just want to give you a snippet of Wena in the ensemble I chose for her.
I have a penchant for purple these days so I just needed to throw in some purple in the dress hehe I wanted to do a retro pin-up for her hair but she has a whacky, rebellious bunch 
I had to come up with something that only takes 10 minutes because she’s already late haha thank God for bobbie pins. Would you believe it's the first time she ever had her eyebrows shaped? 
Oh I love the big bracelet 
it is so glam. She looked awkward walking in those shoes hehe she's not used to wearing high heels 
but it's all good.
Oh I love taggies & I have another one from Lourie, tnx girl!

Despite the bad weather, Wena and I were still able to shop from head-to-toe for the perfect dress, shoes, and accessories she’ll wear to the wedding she’s attending this Sunday. We were at SM the whole afternoon, oblivious to what’s happening outside. I did hear that Cebu was at signal number something and it was Bagyong Frank. I’m not sure if I heard right though, I mean I refuse to listen, watch and read the news because I find the content to frustrating for my comfort sometimes.
Back to the more carefree stuff, Dada had to come along and since he can never understand girls and shopping haha he had the goofy and perplexed expression as we raid every shop. With how we sprinted all over SM, I would say shopping is a good cardio workout. I think we have pretty much covered a respectable distance altogether before going for the dress at July. Wena couldn’t really decide so I made the decision for her; a turquoise ensemble with a dash of purple accent, really lovely! I will also do her make up on Sunday and I can’t wait to get my hands on her eyebrows. I have been itching to shape it since we first met! I wonder how she will look with make up and everything nice on? ^_^
With the different casinos popping up online, do we really know which one to choose anymore? Well why worry when we can play in every online casino we bump into. Online casinos are accessible wherever we may be and offer every kind of casino game we can ever think of. So what we really need is the extra time.
I love cute, shiny, shimmery trinkets so I was just really happy I got this tag from Dez ^_^
Now it's my turn to spread the appreciation and friendship weeehhh!
Passing this tag on to Wena, Mier, Tchel and Caffeinated Muse, hope you will like it as much as I do!
After seeing some of my friends took home their winnings from poker, I have never stopped struggling to learn it. Like a baby who first needs to learn how to walk before he can run. I too must first learn how to play before I can even win anything. Sometimes I get confused and I never run out of questions; it is a good thing though that I can find answers through the internet in the absence of my buddies. I can’t help but be glad that there are so many online resources I can find for playing poker especially online poker. This should make my learning a little bit easier.
Not everyone plays poker that is why there are also other games accessible in various online casinos. Casinos online have developed a steady fan worldwide so games aside from poker, such as backgammon and spades are also gaining notoriety.
Last night I wore a red polka dot blouse and white skirt at work. It was one of those really eye-catching red shades that Jen commented I was exuding happiness hhmmm I guess so. I mean I was nodding, smiling and greeting people, "Hey happy New Year" those who figured the joke out laughed with and those who didn't, well they had the dumb questioning look in their faces hihi
Dots have been associated with money and New Year. Supposedly, people wear polka dot patterns to bring money in for the next year. I'm not superstitious though so I don't really know if this ever worked for anyone. I do however, do my share of jumping around when the clock strikes 12 hihi they say doing so makes a person taller nyahaha and I said I'm not superstitious ^_^
Prevention is always better than cure. This is applicable not only for our health but it also goes for our security. Why do we have to wait till we get robbed before we keep ourselves protected? Cyber crime and identity theft is spreading like fire not only locally but in the international scene as well. What is even scarier is the fact that there are actually organizations that back this type illegality up. Scams online are getting more and more legitimate looking and thieves are getting more daring and aggressive. With this, nobody can be too careful.
Life lock however, lets us live a worry-free life by giving us 24/7 protection against identity theft and the many forms of fraudulent activities. It simply is the best and most trusted identity theft prevention service today. Don’t let unlawful acts like this lead you to your destruction because it is our responsibility to protect our assets. Of course don’t just take my word for it. Many satisfied subscribers have given a lifelock review and you can be the next one to share your success story. Access to lifelock reviews by consumers is available online for everyone’s perusal. Get that lifelock protection today!
If you find yourself living in a bill-free life, then you better pinch yourself coz you’re dreaming big time. Bills are normal and it comes every month just like our paycheck. I call it the dough killers, why? Well it is obvious why. It eats up our cash if we get too careless around it.
Bills scare me like that killer clown in the movie. It stalks and haunts especially if you miss a payment. In my monthly budget pie, a large portion always goes to bills and whatever is left, I use it for more important things in life like shopping. I wish it’s the other way around though, I wish I have a bigger slice for shopping and leisure gggrrrr!!
They say size doesn’t really matter; it is the performance that does. Well how long do you think it would have taken Magellan to circumnavigate the globe if he were sailing a tiny boat? Male enhancement is not a bad thing. Penis enlargement is sometimes the answer to most of men’s sexual problems. If you think you really need to use a penis enlarger, then who is stopping you?
After watching Juno this morning, I couldn’t help but think how I would have done it if I were Juno. Well first stop I’m sure my parents will not be as understanding and merciful as hers have been. If you have not seen this movie, please do and I swear it’s going to crack you up. Those who have seen the movie know that Juno Macguff is a 16 year old girl who unfortunately got pregnant after she decided to have sex (ouch!) with her best guy buddy Paulie Bleeker played by Michael Cera. What started with a chair, ended with a chair. But what makes the movie outstanding is the wistful comedy in between. The growing up process or as Juno puts it, “dealing with stuff beyond my maturity level”.
The movie is full of funny lines and I have so many favorites to even make mention. I started laughing in the opening line when Ellen Page (Juno MacGuff) yelled at her dog, “GEEZ Banana! Shut your freakin' gob ok!”haha shame on you Banana!
Identity theft is surely something you don’t want to be a victim of. I remember how a friend of mine cried when she saw the charge on her credit card for a jewelry set she never bought. Now imagine that happening to you. Though thieves these days consider themselves smart, life lock has developed a smarter technology. Life lock can protect us from any forms of identity theft. They work beyond just notifying members of fraudulent activities, the actually stop the bad guys. Think of all the famous personalities who are strong endorsers and are using this service. Think of what they could have lost had they been wrong about trusting life lock.
As consumers, we are entitled to doubt and to scrutinize especially if it is our welfare that is at stake. We can always read the lifelock review online to see how this service has done wonders to other people’s lives. A few dollars a month for membership is a small amount to pay for the round-the-clock protection this company offers. Think of a worry and hassle free shopping. It’s time we do something and stop being the victim. So many people have felt the value of life lock in their lives and it never is too late for us.
A bucket list is a list of the things a persons wants to do before he dies or as the expression goes, before he kicks the bucket. This movie is about two very different individuals with cancer stuck together in a hospital room and how each of them learned from each other in the process of following the bucket list they made. They have become really good friends despite their striking difference. They have touched and healed each others lives in the 3 months they spent alive together.
We just go a letter from our church pastor who now lives in California. Inside the envelope was a picture of him and his family, they are all in the United States now. It has been almost a year since they were last here and because they live next door to us, we can’t help but miss them. They were the best neighbors ever.
In the letter he talked about how they just got back from a cruise and how now they are entertaining the plan of going on yet another one. They must have really enjoyed their first adventure then. This made me think of the Christian Cruises that I have just happened upon online. If only it is within my means to set them up for a Christian Cruise, I really would. I know they would love the idea of visiting those historical places mentioned in the Bible, having Bible teachings on board while meeting other Christians from all over the world.
I’m not sure how long Christian Cruises have existed but I do know that if I were present when the first cruise ship set sailed, I would have felt this wonderfully warm and fuzzy feeling inside. Ever Heard of a Christian Cruise?
While I do find athletic men very attractive and I have had my share of these types of men; I really am not a sporty gal. So when every guy I know including my boyfriend went loco over the NBA finals, I can’t help but shrug my shoulders and get back to doing my nails. Over the years I have mastered the art of “faking”. It is indeed an art and a difficult one to drill, wouldn’t you think so? When dada enthusiastically updated me about the NBA games, I faked listening with gusto while my mind drifted. It’s not cruelty, I was being polite. Most of the time being polite and nice requires a lot of faking.
I can watch basketball or any game and be caught in the moment of excitement. I will even cheer for my favorite players and for those close calls but I can never be religious about it. I love victories and inspirational stories like “Coach Carter” though. So in conclusion, I guess the only time I will really truly embrace sports is when it is shown with a little cinematography and musical scoring.
Everyone is learning poker these days but does that really come as a surprise? Well not for me no. I have seen how people young and old bridge the age gap in a good old round of poker. Some play this game so well they are called masters. This makes me ask myself if these masters learned their skills at a poker school somewhere because I sure would love to enroll.
For a newbie like me, I think poker online is a good way to practice and of course with a little luck and a lot of poker strategy then I might just win some as well. So far though, I have not won in any of the games I joined in but hey that doesn’t stop me from wanting to play. I know I can’t expect to start winning when I have only just started learning the game. My time will come.
I had a funny time at the office when I showed up wearing the exact same blouse as my friend MJ. It was a stripped brown and beige blouse. The only difference was the stripe direction. My stripes were slanted for the reason that I made one sleeve dangle off my left shoulder and hers were horizontal. People were like, "are you girls gonna dance together?"
Some girls would have freaked out but I just found the incident hilarious. Reminds me of a time when my friends and I would purposely buy identical clothes and wear’em together. I remember doing that stunt with Leah, Jackie and Wena. We would shop together and choose same items in different colors to make the contrast.
I know what the title states but please don't jump into conclusions that aren't there. I was not able to write anything yesterday because the computer wouldn't start. I mean It did but it gives me a black screen after windows loads up. We decided to just leave it alone and figure out the problem in the afternoon when we wake up. Well much to our surprise and relief, it turned on just fine. So dada and I conclude that the PC just had a case of morning sickness.
Today is our wave's 2nd anniversary but I didn't make it to the celebration just like last year. Ask me why people. Well dada won't give me my phone and he knows very well I can't leave the house without my phone. I'm so angry I can kill someone right now. So instead of committing murder, I thought why not blog about it and this time around I won't let him stop me from doing so. I have wanted to blog about the several times we fought but he just stops me everytime. I don't know if it embarrasses him of what not. So anyway, he is packing his things as I type.
(after what seemed like an eternity of yelling, bitching and cussing)
Well we ended up bingeing at Larsian. Two angry people eating like there’s no tomorrow.
The top reason why people go to casinos is to play and win. Of course there are those who go there to socialize as well. For those who don’t have time for the trip, try an online casino. Online casinos are not so much of a hassle. You still get to play the same games and win spectacular prizes as well. All without stepping out of your house.
The site director announced that June is dress down month. If all my old clothes still fit fine, I would have celebrated like the rest of the people. I see two solutions to my problem. I lose weight and get my old body back or buy a new set of wardrobe. Hmmm let me think…ok I’m done thinking. I will go to Ayala tomorrow!
Rummy is a very old game; it was first noticed in the early twentieth century. Isn’t it amazing how it still is an existing game till now? People still play the many types of this games including gin rummy. Our technology also made it possible to play online rummy today.
Have you ever played at a casino? I’m sure most people have but have you ever played at a UK casino? Well today we don’t have to physically go to UK for that. We can play UK poker or UK bingo and win cash just like the real thing. So somebody better order pizza because we can play right in our living room.
My friendster account is not as updated as it was a few weeks ago because I’m busy with my baby. So now you’re asking. “Who is your baby? Is dada your baby?” No. This is my baby, my blog is my baby but let’s leave that statement as it is because I will not expound on that today.
People always make a good topic. I like talking about men as much as women. Both creatures are so complex, so different yet so the same in many ways. So the same especially in their basic needs; need for food, shelter and I even hear some people say sex? It is also funny how these two species try to figure out each other. Men want to know what women want while women are trying to figure out what they want and what their men want.
Because we are mature adults we should be able to talk about anything objectively. So let us talk about sexual health, this should be interesting. I pay attention to my sexual health and I’m curios about male sexual health. Why? Because men don’t open up as easily as women do when it comes to what is ailing them down there. Maybe it is the whole guy issue and how it could make them look less of a guy that makes them offish about the topic. But does it really make them less of a man? I don’t think so. I think there is something very brave and noble about having the guts to talk about this issue.
Sexual problems could lead to infertility; this is a concern for both men and women but is male infertility more common than women or is it vice versa? Frankly, I think what is more important is the preventive measures than the statistics. I know for a fact that there are proven ways and approved medication to help us stay sexually healthy and eventually combat infertility on its tracks. Much has been written libido, increase sperm volume, erection problems, pain, stress and so much more. So let us use what’s been written because it is everyone’s responsibility to be healthy in every aspect.
How many of you ladies know a man who is far more vain than you? They use concealers and carry face powders, lipgloss, comb, and perfumes in their clutch bags. I’m not talking about gay men who really go to the nines making sure they look their most beautiful. I mean the metrosexual men who are straight men; think David Beckham the Metrosexual God. Yet like gay men, metrosexuals’ aesthetic sense is more intensified than the regular guy.
AISAH: Reports Analyst “I don’t like men who are metrosexuals because I am not use to seeing men more conscious of their physical appearance and hygiene than women. I can associate them to being gays sometimes. I also feel that they are prone to be attracted to men as well because they act like women. Funny, but they actually intimidate me. hehehe..”
MJ: TR “I think its ok as long as the guy sets limitations. Like never retouch in front of me or in public and never force me to become as vain as him”
CINDY: TR Metrosexual men for me would be considered 80% gay and 20% man. Guys being so conscious of looking good and clean all the time is normal. But, bringing a mirror? Using a lip gloss? I don’t think that’s usual. I do know some guys who use lip glosses but only when the weather is too hot or too cold. They don’t necessarily have to bring one with them; they only borrow from one of their girlfriends. Having a metro sexual guy friend is nice. At least they can relate to the girls’ beauty regimen topics, etc. Just like having gay friends, it’s easier to talk to them since they’re more sensitive to women’s thoughts and emotions.
I want my guy like a rough-cut diamond. Someone not full of himself and who can get his hands dirty when the occasion calls for it. I don’t want a guy who looks like he is going to a photo shoot all the time (leave that one to me). There can’t be 2 vain people in a relationship, I can’t stand it. It’s either you’re vain or I am but definitely not both of us.
Ok so I always have a thing about not wanting to be introduced to my bf's parents. Can you blame me if I hate the feeling of being appraised like jewelry about to be pawned? I mean try it, you have a casual introduction but don't let that fool you; nothing is ever casual. You are always being watched. You want to be as prepared as you can when you meet them.
Make a checklist of the things you need to do. When putting make up on, do it in a well lit room. A dim room is good for a romantic setting but not if your doing your brows. Do you really want you're bf's mom to think, "Her eyebrows are not even, can you believe that? I wonder what else is not even with her" no you don't want that. So you better chew your food well and make sure every morsel that enters your mouth is just the right size. If it's too little they will notice and you're "arte" if it's too big you're "habahab"
Another thing is giving them a dose of their own medicine, appraise them as well. Magnify every wrinkle you see or look at how their lips move when talking. It will surprise you how those little things will make you laugh out loud in bed.
I suddenly had the urge to tinker with my blog. While looking for a new template, I saw this template I'm using now and fell head over heels right away. I messed up big time when I tried to edit my blog though and I couldn't revert to my old one for whatever reason. All I got was a blank white page. Did that ever happen to any of you? I panicked. I was so frustrated and angry at myself that I cried.
Thank you Windows Live though coz I was chatting with my friend Wena and she helped! She was at least able to get me up one notch with one of those ready-to-use blogger templates. I was still worried though especially when she IM'd she had to leave for work huhuhu I felt lost and helpless. I just sat in front of my PC for awhile, scared of touching anything. I promised I will never ever experiment with my blog but I don't what came over me though coz despite the butterflies in my stomach I still TRIED to continue fixing what I did and I think things are looking up. I just need to recover the deleted widgets and stuff. It's all downhill from here, I hope.
Lesson learned: If it's not broken don't fix it.
My good friend at work just got himself a cool car, second-hand, in good condition and he is very pleased with the fact that he got it for a very reasonable price. I have not seen the car up close yet but from the view inside the pantry I can tell it’s a Red Toyota.
I know several people who buy used cars and trade it then buy another one; it’s a business for them. For me though, it is the affordability that appeals more, it is the stash of cash I can save and the brand only matters a little.
It is always convenient to buy things online and the same goes for cars, be it used or brand new. The market for cars is rather large that it always is best to know exactly what you want before even looking for it. Next to that, you must also know exactly how much you are willing to spend for your ride. Don’t hesitate to compare prices and always go through a credible company that has a good track record of satisfied customers. Remember that in any purchase, expensive does not always mean great and cheap is not always half as bad. Buy wisely!
On our 1st anniversary, Dada got me a really cute Super Boink inspired stuffed animal. Yes he gave me a pink pig with the biggest snout I have ever seen haha I must say that I didn't really expect the pig hihi I was expecting the date, but the pig was very original. So everyone, meet Gloria the Pig! 
The newest addition to my piggery and named after Mumble's love interest in the movie Happy Feet. Why name the pig after that character? Because I already have a bear named Mumble and I would like to think of my bear and pig as sweethearts against all odds^_^

Today Dada and I celebrate our 1st Anniversary. No it wasn’t always great but it sure was anything but dull. Yes we had our share of close calls, too close for comfort at time. I’m impatient and most of the time I refuse to see things from Dada’s point of view. When I’m wrong I feel the need to still have the last word and that is in every argument. I hate everything that doesn’t fit well into the jigsaw puzzle of my life; it leaves me angry and frustrated. When I feel threatened it also gets me angry and frustrated. So now you see what Dada has to live through everyday?
I love him more and more everyday for never letting me go especially when I’m in the height of my emotions and I end up saying and doing things I never would say or do when my thinking isn’t clouded. I love him for being so patient and understanding with me. I love how he sees me and I wish he could see through my eyes so he will know what a wonderful and beautiful person he is. Dada is not perfect but nobody is. There are times when I wish he would do and say the things that I want like cook up surprises and be more romantic or stop snoring but he is doing well just the way he is. I suppose when you love someone you can’t help but also love the tiny annoying things about them.
Looking forward to another wonderful year!
