when shopping with a man

we went to the pinoy bazaar in rockwell today which turned out to be a great landmine of treasures!

i can safely say that it was one of the best bazaars i have been to. everywhere you look there are great finds.

i chanced upon the booth of ming ong, Obra, which sold fantastically artistic clothes and accessories. i could not resist buying a collector item hand painted blouse which was made by ming's sister justine for whigmaleerie. it is so beautiful!! not only are the details so unique but the canvass, shirt itself, has a unique style.




i was also able to buy the bangles ive been scouting for


so i skipped (well almost!) to meet hubby excited to tell him all about my great buys.

when he saw me with all the shopping bags at hand he gave me this worried look as if i had bought the whole rockwell tent. hehehe!

but i could not be swayed, i gushed about all the nice things i saw and told him that i had bought a beautiful hand painted blouse. he then took my bags and told me that we had better place them in the car before heading to eat dinner ..... but i had wanted to show him the items while eating dinner! he snickered at the thought of him giggling delighted with me as i pulled out my finds in the restaurant!

men will be men i guess! i miss chit chatting with my sister! i think i may need a baby girl, AKA shopping partner!

i have to keep in mind that hubby has a limit to the passion he can share with me... let limit that to food!

because hubby had wanted sisig, we went to C2 to have dinner. we ordered sisig, aligue rice and lumpiang hubad with my favorite ginumis and hubby's pandan iced tea.



only one word to describe the food at C2...YUUUMMMYYY!
finally, a shared passion!

Hirtia Va Fi Albastra

The Paper Will Be Blue

such a surprisingly good film. the presentation of a flashback of a tragic ending as the beginning of the film is sheer genius! yet the end reveals a whole different point of view of the same tragic ending. the men on the other end did not hear "hirtia va fi albastra" as a response to "what's the password?"!

my favorite character was Lt. Neagu. he was the leader of the 5 team militiamen in the armored vehicle which the story revolves around. i could empathize with his character with my 27 team militiamen which i head. *mwahahaha*

who is your favorite character in The Paper Will Be Blue?

Les Chansons d'Amour

cool but not for the faint of heart....

the good in people

i have always believed in the good of people. maybe that is why i have been so patient with my subordinates to an extent some of my friends cannot understand. because of this i have actually proven that even in the dimmest situation, you can still change your perspective.
im such a pig!@!?!

1 year of marriage

how do you celebrate a special day such as a 1st year wedding anniversary? with a 1 week leave of course!

...take an airplane ride in the storm

...go to lovely bohol

...stuff yourself with chilly crabs in manila

...watch hulk (which was not bad)

...spend a lazy friday blogging and being stinky pete

...watch wanted (good plot!)

...miss the street ballet and be spared from pouring rain

...hear mass with your love

...go grocery shopping and unfortunately forget your "green" shopping bag

...get a cheap but good pedicure (thank you california nails and day spa)

...watch pacquiao clobber diaz (whoohooo!)

things to complain about

i just seem to have so much to complain about these days.......i need to get a life and a friend to chat with!

i remember last year around this time i was depressed too.....must be the rain....one clue that i cant live in london. i need the sun! maybe its low sugar level. ive been on a much needed diet for 4 days (has it ONLY been 4 days!!!!! it feels like forever!). one meal a day and mini non fattening snacks the whole day with lots and lots of water to fill (fool) my tummy.

i feel like little miss marc needing a much needed diet

rant, rant, rant, complain, complain, complain silently.........thank goodness for good long baths and loud duran duran music!

been surfing the net to find something to cheer me up and i suddenly remember a strip that has always tickled my fancy

-At its heart, Pearls Before Swine is the comic strip tale of two friends: a megalomaniacal Rat who thinks he knows it all and a slow-witted Pig who doesn't know any better. Together, this pair offers caustic commentary on humanity's quest for the unattainable. The title of the strip comes from the New Testament, and is taken from the phrase, "Don't cast your pearls before swine." In this case, Rat believes that he is an endless source of wisdom, and that it is wasted upon Pig, who is rather slow. In truth, neither of them is very smart, but while Pig is content with his humble status in life, Rat is always on a futile search for fame, riches and immortality.

deep yet humorous..........this cartoon is just me!

such a tristful state

WHAT MAKES ONE BLUE?

just this morning i was walking through the corridors of my work place and thought to myself how lucky i was. the fact is, there is nothing wrong. but then again there is nothing to be too gleeful about either. this sounds like a case of the glass being half empty or half full.

i am generally an optimistic person finding delight in the tiniest detail, say a cool but sunny day, finding my old favorite songs and videos, a great lecture, a praise from a superior, a good non-work related conversation with a role model, even a new ring tone...but the irony of it all is that i have always been thrown into a life with somber people (i guess not really thrown, duh! of all people i should know this, just look at the header!).

so what does make one blue? is it the lack of excess? is it a life of mediocrities? is it the lack of something to look forward to? is it all rolled into 1?

such a labile mood i am in today......maybe im just comfortably dizzy......

These are days of hit and run
In the stream with everyone
Is a moment of our lives

On a wandering river
Going on together
Many journeys to arrive

I've been walking
Through the valley
Through the tall grass
And the shadows
And I feel it
I can see it
Yes I need it
I believe it

Through the city
And the towers
Turning minutes
Into hours
And I feel it
I can see it
Yes I need it
I believe it

When I think I'm being strong
And I lose direction
then a life starts looking mischievous
Finding revelation
Out of desperation
Always stretching time
But it's never long enough

You think you're happy
Think you're free
But maybe we're just
Comfortably dizzy

I've been running
Through the valley
Through the tall grass
And the shadows
And I feel it
I can see it
Yes I need it
I believe it

Through the city
And the towers
Turning minutes
Into hours
And I feel it
I can see it
Yes I need it
I believe it

I've been running
Through the valley
Through the tall grass
Through the shadows
And I feel it
I can see it
Yes I need it
I believe it

Through the city
And the towers
Turning minutes
Into hours
And I feel it
I can see it
Yes I need it
I believe it


maybe as always, my emotions are just easily swayed
REMEMBER YOU CREATE YOUR OWN HAPPINESS!!!!

.....maybe if i say it over and over, i will again convince myself. after all, isnt this what i have been doing all these years? cloaked in a state of nonchalance to hide the fact that im rearing to go on an adventure. and why? because i have been held down by anchors that i myself have chosen.

so i shut my ears from reality and find comfort in replays that reflect a period when i thought i was happily living a fantasy.

more favorite euro music

these were (as an 8 year old) and still are my favorite songs of AHA

THE SUN ALWAYS SHINES ON THE TV




HUNTING HIGH AND LOW




CRYING IN THE RAIN

i was a euro child

i remember way back in the 80's i was only in the 2nd grade but i was more mature in my musical preferences than same age kids (thanks to santa's boombox gift). i loved AHA, spandau ballet, and of course who can forget duran duran?! i had their posters on my wall and said good morning to them daily as a child....i remember going to the park pizza place and seeing on the cork board that duran duran was performing in the next city in germany and i was so tempted to ask my aunt if i could go (ha! an 8 year old going to the next city to watch a concert!)
i never thought that dream would come true but now, 24 years later i really got to see them!!! believe you me, i had the greatest time of my life, as if it was just yesterday i had seen that poster in the pizza place......walking back thru memory lane.....

RIO




IS THERE SOMETHING I SHOULD KNOW




COME UNDONE



and after all these years they are still great entertainers!

IS THERE SOMETHING I SHOULD KNOW




REFLEX



i love this band!

mindless ramblings of a beatles fan

there are days when you just feel so indescribably melodramatic. those days are here. must be my LH surge!

let me just tell you that after weeks after watching across the universe i am still so in love with the movie and the remade songs it contains.

Words are flying out like
endless rain into a paper cup
They slither while they pass
They slip away across the universe
Pools of sorrow waves of joy
are drifting thorough my open mind
Possessing and caressing me

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Images of broken light which
dance before me like a million eyes
That call me on and on across the universe
Thoughts meander like a
restless wind inside a letter box
they tumble blindly as
they make their way across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

Sounds of laughter shades of life
are ringing through my open ears
exciting and inviting me
Limitless undying love which
shines around me like a million suns
It calls me on and on across the universe

Jai guru deva om
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world
Nothing's gonna change my world

WHAT DOES JAI GURU DEVA OM MEAN?!
surprisingly im not the only baffled one.....read on for explanations....http://www.geocities.com/clevebeat/JaiGuruDeva.html

cool!

let me just greet my O2 a happy 2nd year! just as timely, i got my piggy a new iPhone! he is now in his own little world fiddling with his new gadget.


but my most favorite song is definitely penny lane.....wouldnt it be great to actually go to penny lane and have my picture taken at the barber shop?! ooooohhhhh.....



In Penny Lane there is a barber showing photographs
Of every head he's had the pleasure to have known,
And all the people that come and go
Stop and say hello.

On the corner is a banker with a motorcar,
The little children laugh at him behind his back.
And the banker never wears a mac
In the pouring rain, very strange.

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back

In penny Lane there is a fireman with an hourglass
And in his pocket is a portrait of the Queen.
He likes to keep his fire engine clean,
It's a clean machine.

Penny Lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
A four of fish and finger pies
In summer, meanwhile back

Behind the shelter in the middle of the roundabout
A pretty nurse is selling poppies from a tray
And though she feels as if she's in a play
She is anyway.

In Penny Lane the barber shaves another customer,
We see the banker sitting waiting for a trim.
And then the fireman rushes in
From the pouring rain, very strange.

Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
There beneath the blue suburban skies
I sit, and meanwhile back.
Penny lane is in my ears and in my eyes.
There beneath the blue suburban skies,
Penny Lane.

a balancing act

the past few weeks have been crazy. meetings, meetings, and more meetings..... re-accreditation prep and actual visit. a day and a half to recuperate and then another starts. lists, lists, and more lists of things to do. 2 months and my pages are full. to show power or to show patience.....how far is far enough? trying to decipher which are more of value among valuable things. so many blessings yet so many hurdles to leap. another month almost done and another one is yet to come.

time flies

i attended this management skills training seminar last week which i truly enjoyed! i do love being in a classroom like environment where you sit and act like a sponge absorbing everything you see and hear.......weido?! yeah, yeah, ive been told but hey, that's me!
we took this personality test and contrary to the weirdo personality i am sometimes dubbed for, i learned that i am an S personality (steady). An S personality can be described by these phrases:

my ideal world is where i have PEACE
i like to WATCH things
i want to do it the EASY way
my greatest fear is losing STABILITY or losing a RELATIONSHIP

HOW TRUE!!!!!

i was asked by my assistant chief "so dra are you enjoying yourself?" and without batting an eyelash i said yes (as long as dr. p is not in a mad mood, that is). i guess you are really not given a job that was not meant for you.

hence the saying time flies when you are having fun......and the great thing about it is.....you are the pilot who flies it!

15 days on the job....and i dont seem to be counting

its been almost half a month since i started and ..... i survived! its a whole different ballgame but its work that i like. and although my first business meeting could have been better, no major booboos to be ashamed of. apparently my residents are not out to give me a headache (oh joy!) so things are as calm as they get.
thank God for patience and a good support group!

my weekends will never be the same

finally i feel like a normal person.
it has been 3 years since ive enjoyed my weekend with the satisfaction that i would feel the same way the next weekend. why is that?! it is because i have graduated from being "slave of the H"
and what do normal people do during their weekends? enjoy themselves of course!
today i started the day getting up on my own, saying a little prayer and delighting in the fact that breakfast was waiting for us. so we had the leisure of having breakfast while i read time magazine featuring vladimir putin as POY, watched "my girl", prepared lunch (heated up left overs i mean), watched some more, went to get our haircuts (peko is that you?!)



then went to the last day sale of rockwell. home with my loot, i felt oh so lucky to be where i am now.


i just love my shoes!!!!


and so, my weekends will never be the same because i finally have them to spend with my husband!

Happy Endings

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

i also got in touch with my good friend AC who wasnt able to show up at the baptism because of an exam (no matter how old we are, we are still bound by educational trials)

and of course checked on my good friend AS (soon to be AST in nov when she marries her prince charming) who is slaving away in TMC. 99 days to go...... my gosh it seems so long!

so all in all i had a fairly good day, doing what i like doing, getting ready for another week of work.....

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......

preoccupations

Rihanna - Umbrella lyrics

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!

wait a go mommy!

the wealthy barber

it has been about a week now since ive been obsessed with starting the ball rolling on our financial prosperity.....investment....investment.....investment......you know what? things seem to be falling into place ...... a cooperative partner, supportive superiors, prospective position ....... the future is looking bright!
