tearful christmas
where has the cheer of christmas gone? im such a scrooge -i cant believe it, me a scrooge?!-
as usual the kid in me have been waiting for christmas, giddy with thoughts of the presents i will get, ecstatic that i have been blessed with such a great schedule that will allow me to enjoy the holidays before i was a slave in the hospital. so i went home, from duty and all but fully awake as i wait for santa to come.
merry christmas everyone! so i wake up my sleeping hubby and we exchange christmas hugs. then we head to the dining room surprised that it was all dark -where is the noche buena?-
let me give you a brief background on how christmas eve is spent in the house i am in today....well to summarize it is not celebrated at all.....no festive christmas tree, no gifts underneath, no noche buena filled with scrumptious food.....while in my original household, chritmas eve is the most awaited time of the year (aside from new year that is) as the tree becomes more and more crowded with gifts and you pick and shake those with your names on it (sometimes catching mommy who cant bear her curiosity) as the excitement mounts. the 24th is usually spent eagerly waiting for midnight to strike and when it does the whole family troops to the tree and start dividing their loot (you could always numerous gifts as mommy made sure we opened a lot of gifts each year). of course the usual picture taking with our newly acquired treasures then off to the noche buena table where there were so much food enough to last till new year!
-so last night, i tried to hide my dissappoitment by not getting mad at our help who did not cook the noche buena as she thought that this christmas eve would be just as it has always been in this house, and dissappointment still that when we took our plastic clad gifts to my father in law's room to wish him a cheery christmas he was in bed already half asleep. so we went back to our room with our noche buena tray of a little bowl of sopas and a bowl of my first ever fruit salad. with those sad pictures of what would be my first christmas eve as a wife, i just couldnt help but cry when we got back to our room. i cried and bawled and cried some more until i realized i would look bad in the pictures that might be taken the next day -what a vain person i truly am-
so i guess the only thing left to do was open our gifts which i felt bad about because i had no special gift to give to my hubby -what a rotten eve it was-
i was somehow consoled and we went to bed only to wake up the next day like any other day with me getting up too early and my hubby still sleeping -how i wanted to wake him us but decided against it as i wouldnt want to ruin my christmas day with a grouch. so i opened my only delight this christmas (my new computer) and started to really make it my own, personalizing this and that and finally getting my music files in order as i was nearing the end of my task i was happy to see that mr sleeping beauty was already stirring to get up. this was of course before he pointed out to me that i had been spending the first few hours of christmas thinking i was deleting files which i really wasnt. and to top it off i had to return the files so that i could properly delete them. and worst of all, as i tried to gain control of the mouse so that i could learn and not just be a bystander in the process, mr sleeping beauty said 'sige ikaw na' and left me in the middle of the process i did not know how to do......how sorry could that get?

people who make me look good
i am soooo happy! i finally found a hair dresser who does what i want!
this emotionally laden post comes from a person who has not had a good haircut since QC day. and believe you me, that has been a looooong time!
wait a go rose!
speaking of valuable people, there is no better make up artist than mr ben hur reyes. he just makes me look fabuloso! we tried the fake lashes from mac during my last event and it looked great! mwha, mwha!

films
i never thought i had a flair for art films until i started watching cine europa 3 years ago. and now after enjoying certain movies i have confirmed that i have moved into movies beyond pop.
why do i like this? because 3 stories happening simultaneously but somehow interconnected in a web is a good concept. and the ending with the ambitious senator, the guilt striken reporter and the self sacrificing soldiers was something to think about. what do i think about the college guy reading the news runner? i thought that he was thinking of enlisting (and they all laughed at my interpretation!) mind boggling but still close to reality. definitely a good movie!
why do i like this? because it's one of those movies where so few characters are involved yet the depth of the movie is vast. just the title itself shows that it is a film more than a movie (if you know what i mean). it is also full of trivias and most importantly it shows the value of preservation of life’s precious moments....what more can you ask for?

reality check
the other day, Dr. AC told me that i gained weight an in front of an audience and to my horror, everyone agreed without batting an eyelash! she said that you gain around 7lbs for every year that you're married.....but it looks like i had reached my quota for the year after 3 months of marriage! *sob sob* so that day i went and had 2 hours of badminton (after which we ate shawarma -how ironic) and today i vowed to eat less rice. Dr. CP even taught me the flank test.....after a shower, look in the mirror and bend from side to side and if you're happy with what you see then you're doing ok.....hmmmm.....reality check, age is creeping up on me and i need to lessen my buffet dates!

doing the things i love to do
today has been a fairly good day. i was able to wake up on my own with tons of time before i really had to do anything productive. of course the first thing on my itinerary was to have a good breakfast and since im living in my hubby's place sunday breakfast can only mean bibingka bought at a local store (pretty good i might add) served with butter on the side. that, and ginger tea, that makes me hiccup like crazy (but i go ahead and keep on drinking it), and the good old star. call me a bit old fashioned but i like flipping through the pages of the newspaper even if i can read the news on line. maybe it makes me feel adult to be holding huge sheets of off-white paper with printed pages of, today, mostly lifestyle articles.....just my thing!
after my breakfast i was urged to get ready for an ever important event *tandadadah* the christening of one of my good friend's baby girl. i wore my suka outfit (long story) and had to change bags since the outfit didnt really go well with my D&B
-ladies' bag essentials ....3 wallets for the ever OC budgeting wannabe, my ever dependable O2 atom and the shiny new multipurpose pen i got to replace the lost (or stolen) one *though bubble -everything seems to be for multitasking these days....even my pen!*, my caudalie beauty elixir which makes me feel like a tad bit of the fashionista i want to be and of course other beauty essentials, my maintainance meds for the ill-exposed girl, my newly bought battle gear from national bookstore (which ill be using tomorrow for my duty), and little bits of reciepts and papers i cant seem to let go
when we got to the event, i couldnt help but think that gatherings with friends now a days means either welcoming a new member of the family, baptisms or kiddie parties.....signs of our age.....
i couldnt ignore the fact that, next, next year that would be me going around, showing my little angel to guests. of course the party planner me couldnt help but think what theme the party would be. maybe fairies and princess.....hahaha! thats me.....its never too early to start planning!
the day was extra special because i was able to see my good friends! even if our group wasnt complete, it was great to be with people who has been a part of your life since forever
can i just say couple VMT & DT has such a sweet darling who at 7 months loves to listen to justin timberlake! she would burst into a smile and throw her head back in delight at the sound of his song!
wait a go dear, you will grow up to be one classy gal! but of course.....just like her mom and her ninang (who has shed her tropical barbie hair -featured in a previous blog, and is now sporting her "almost victoria beckham hair")
another delight in the party was that i spotted an anya hindmarch bag (cool!!!) i had pointed it out to my hubby who, the man that he is, said "ah ok".....what did i expect! hehehe!
the day went on with shopping for a new phone for my father in law, which ended in a purchase of the new two sims in one phone, a new innovation,
*franticly trying to find a picture of the new myphone but to no avail*
i wouldnt mind having such a feature but i so love my phone that nothing ever makes me envious anymore. i am one satisfied customer of the O2 atom!!! the only thing that could beat it is the exec but the only feature i long for would be the privacy screen which i heard you can whip up with a screen protector by 3M (or whatever brand). the more i think about it the more i compare it to relationships (what an emotional creature i am today). when you've found the one, you'll never desire anybody else, or anything else for that matter!
just to exemplify how important sms communications are now a days, i had the rare luxury of time to catch up with my close friends after dinner. i of course started with my best buddy JTD

little pleasures of life
these days it seems that it gets harder to find things to be happy about. i dont know if its the pessimistic age im in or the situation that surrounds me but it gets harder and harder to get up in the morning excited about what lies ahead. so the other day i was holding a nice cleanly sharpened pencil and i unexpectedly found delight in the clean wood fading into the lead......weird? yes but uplifting....

what am i doing here
sometimes what you wish for can get really overwhelming. the other day i was hurrying along to finish my job when i passed by a big window on the higher floor of our building and saw the outside world on a bright sunny day and i thought i could be out there enjoying myself, what am i doing here?
for a moment i thought i was such a masochist for chosing to do what i do while i could be somewhere else doing something easier and being compensated much more. i did not have the answer and still dont but i keep doing what im doing, maybe because its what im used to, maybe because its just to hard to take the road "more taken" in my case, but whatever the reason is, there are only a few more days left 112 to be exact and then ill be free........
but somethings you wish for sometimes seem like they will only be a wish forever
what a beauty......sigh......

good times with good friends
last saturday sgd friends finally met up for our long overdue get together. it was a cool evening (after a few days of stormy weather) in serendra. as me and hubby was walking from the parking i thought how great life was to us. we had come from an orientation on a prospective investment, after which we went to watch a good movie (bourne ultimatum) and a dinner to top the evening was superb! of course a detour to cole vintage was icing on the cake!
horray for budgeting!

my weekend off
these days ive been pretty topsy turvy about decisions i have to make about the future.......its so scary because you'll be making decisions on things unknown...... its like gambling your life......this way or that way, yes or no, steady income, delay more decision making but bad company or no income, but being free what to do and being able to focus being a wifey?
so many pros and cons.....
but this weekend before i really tackle that issue i will enjoy my weekend off!
yesterday we went to the Philippine International Auto Show
the mitsubishi enthusiast that my piggy is of course we hung out at their area.
we're really excited about the 2008 mitsubishi lancer!
after braving the crowd we went to sakae sushi for our sushi buffet. i was sporting my "tropical barbie hair"
and today i will get some pampering at the salon, go buy new appliances and watch a movie with my hubby......its so nice to be married!

rubbery waffles for breakfast and eating good food
as a wife you are tasked to do a lot of new things, for me, its actually hoards of things that i am unaccustomed to......cooking is first and foremost
to celebrate our first month as husband and wife i tought it would be special to do something i dont really do, cook of course and what happier meal could there be but breakfast! ive obviously been planning this the whole week and bought my batter a few days ago. i got up extra early (not really....hehehe) and we opened the fresh box of a waffle maker that i hand picked from the registry (thank you DrRS). it looked easy enough.....i read the instructions at the back of the package of the batter and surprised to see that i needed 2 eggs (i thought it just needed water) so i had to send the help to buy them. it seemed so easy......and the product smelled so good! but my hopes were dampened when we sat down with coffee and the morning paper to match......the waffles were tough and rubbery!!!! boohooohooo! but it did look and smell good! so there......eat the pictures! hahahaha!
fruits of my morning labor
i resolve that maybe it really is better to eat out and be served! last night we started our celebration by having dinner at the ever nice silk thai restaurant in serendra.....the food were all so good! the service was great (i just had to give extra tips)

who wouldnt love Tagaytay
i dont think ive ever known anyone who didnt love tagaytay, even after just staying a few minutes. i cant really remember the first time i went there but, i think it must be with my family ..... i do remeber that i have been there many times and each time i thought "this is the most beautiful place near manila!"
in a few hours, it will be one month ago that this beautiful area near manila became one of the most special place in my life.
Love and Tagaytay......it just seems to go hand in hand....

Firsts....more than meets the eye
what better way to celebrate the first friday but to be able to hear mass, get an offer of help to train abroad and end the day with our first local date as husband and wife! it was so funny, this morning i fixed up just like i would as if i was going out on a date with a boyfriend and i was really excited the whole day.
to celebrate our 1st date, during our 2nd week as a couple, we went to watch the ever talk of the town TRANSFORMERS (more than meets the eye)! now this was not exactly planned to celebrate our 2nd weekersery but because i was sick last sunday. i was in bed the whole day snoozing waking up just to eat a piece of meat for dinner. the next day i still felt sick and stayed home. it gave me some time to tidy up our room which was still cluttered with wedding and honeymoom stuff.
which brings me to my first couple "skirmish".....
actually, this issue is really all about me. i got kind of ticked off because after our HK trip, i was back on duty the next day then the next. and all the things that were left from the wedding and trip were just as they were! even papers on the table were there! i cant imagine that my better half didnt even lift a finger to throw extra plastics, keep our papers, or any of the sort! the OC person that i am just got the better of me! even our gifts! the towels and sheets are still in the boxes not even placed in the laundry to be cleaned and used. so now were still using crummy towels and old boring sheets!
then i thought.....my gosh, did my better half think it was my role to clean up?! REALLY?! when i told my married friends about it they said that most probably it was the case *frown, frown* how can i be a housewife and be a resident at the same time?! the bigger question is, how can some of my coresidents be a housewife, a resident and a mom at the same time?! boohoohoo the undomesticated me......
i think i need more time for this new responsibility to sink in.
durng these slight dips in my cloud nine state i just keep thinking about our wedding day when my better half came thru as my night and shining armor.....then im back in love again =)

actually, this issue is really all about me. i got kind of ticked off because after our HK trip, i was back on duty the next day then the next. and all the things that were left from the wedding and trip were just as they were! even papers on the table were there! i cant imagine that my better half didnt even lift a finger to throw extra plastics, keep our papers, or any of the sort! the OC person that i am just got the better of me! even our gifts! the towels and sheets are still in the boxes not even placed in the laundry to be cleaned and used. so now were still using crummy towels and old boring sheets!
then i thought.....my gosh, did my better half think it was my role to clean up?! REALLY?! when i told my married friends about it they said that most probably it was the case *frown, frown* how can i be a housewife and be a resident at the same time?! the bigger question is, how can some of my coresidents be a housewife, a resident and a mom at the same time?! boohoohoo the undomesticated me......
i think i need more time for this new responsibility to sink in.
durng these slight dips in my cloud nine state i just keep thinking about our wedding day when my better half came thru as my night and shining armor.....then im back in love again =)

a new chapter in our life
.jpg)
i am officially a mrs! so from now on i am also closing "a day in my life" blog and officially renaming it......"a day in our life". let me see, is that gramatically correct? we're two people so it should be 'lives' rather than 'life', but since this life we are living is just one, i think "a day in our life" suits me just fine!
you ask if there is anything different, being a wife? nothing much except that the ring im wearing is for real!
i always thought i would cry in my wedding, well, i almost did. thank goodness for caleruega's short aisle coz even in its shortness when i got to the middle my smile was starting to give in to a quivering almost tearful state! thank goodness for the short aisle!
the past few days i have seen my better half behaving like his better self. i was sitting in the car on my way home and it hit me......i am such a lucky girl to have such a patient and caring husband! you may say im looking thru rose colored glasses but no, even when things got ruffled he acted so maturely like i never expected him to act! its like the moment i reached the end of the aisle he became a different person, a better one at that!
im raving on like the true drama queen that i am.......tomorrow, the drama queen goes to HK!

a relaxing day
yesterday, we met up with our priest in the ateneo campus. it was a very relaxing day. while waiting for our appointment, we just sat there watching guys play ball. it was a hot day and an occasional cool breeze was great. i haven't had such a no fuss day in such a long.....long.....long time!

down memory lane & forward to the future
two weeks ago we went to an autocross.
when it got too hot for comfort, my sis and i stepped into my favorite coffee shop and hurt our hands trying to finish my souvenirs. harharhar! what are maid of honors for!
we had a great time!
last night we went to JT's birthday. i haven't gone out at night for the longest time. it was fun...and i realized im getting over an old grudge. funny, funny, funny! it's good to know im moving on.....
today we celebrated Labor day by watching the advanced screening of spidey 3! good thing we bought tickets last night so it was a hassle free getting in. it was a fairly good movie. the iced capuccino and kettle korn were great! and after the movie.....something even better....my good friends were outside waiting for the next showing. it was good to see them. then halo-halo at icebergs! actually it was just a good excuse to take pictures of my bag (newly used.....bought by mom).
in the middle of halo-halo i popped the question to my future hubby.....what does the future hold? lets face it....the whole none-cheery me is because i'm feeling what i've always been scared of feeling....confused about the future.....haaaay.....i never thought id feel this way! ive always felt in control but then when you have a better half then you have other things to consider. not of course that im complaining.....but it really is harder than you think.....
