Our Movie Date

Forever and a Day, Star Cinema movie starring Sam Milby and KC Concepcion. we've been eyeing on this months ago since we saw the trailer from our last movie date with the Kaladkarins, another Star Cinema flick by Aga and Angel...we are a true blue kapamilya not to mention that one of our sister, Mommy Chel works at ABS CBN and and we've been hanging in there for quite a number of times already and also got the priviledge to watch a taped show because of Chel ofcourse.

The movie date was posponed last saturday due to heavy rains and flooded highway, good thing it was extended so here we are. My friends also requested for a local native snack which we call Ginatan na Monggo...it's like a porridge but it is cooked with red monggo, coconut milk, pandan leaves and sugar. the plan was to head our home after the movie for a quick snack before going home to their respected houses. we choose the 1st showing @1pm to 3pm. i came in late for i did a lot of preparation first. i was forced to bring the car because i know if i try commuting i'll get in there probably by around 1:30pm. the highway is still flooded good thing papa saw me and called me up and told me about it so we meet and change the car. they brought Kap earlier.

When i arrived i was surprised to see Nemo watching with us. our friend Norman was quite busy with the construction so we'll give him a hand by taking care of the kid. he was so sweet that everytime he sees me he will automatically cling in to me. the movie is nice, we all cried our hearts out. i think of Mitch and what happened to her life. i know how painful it is for her coz she went through the same thing when her husband was in sick bed and asking her to let go, oh, it was really painful.

On a lighter side, the snack time was great. as usual we were all laughing. we took pictures using Nicky and it was fun. i uploaded it immediately on FB and everyone's so excited. now it's already a blockbuster as we call it coz it having a long list of comments.

Typhoon Falcon

three days of not really heavy but almost non-stop rain and what do we expect? poor town of Calumpit is in water again.....hopefully this wont happen on a yearly basis coz it really really sucks!

the non-stop downpour starts last thursday as i drove my way to the airport to fetch my BIL whose coming home for a quick one month vacation from Qatar. upon entering the NLEX, the calm sky started to turn dark and plush all the waters down. the visibility is quite hard that's why we were forced to open our headlights and blinkers for safety travel. good thing that the arrival is scheduled in the morning so by past lunch time we were already home coz on the news that night the metro is almost not passable anymore especially to light vehicles, and that's so scary. i cannot imagine having myself and Kap stranded in those flooded streets...i might add up to the water level if i cried a river, haha!

Then last Friday is our Town Fiesta. The feast of St John The Baptist. i went to my SIL's house in the town proper to have lunch and spend some time with my hubby's relatives. it was a nice day of laughing, chatting, few drinks, lots of singing and tons of picture taking but still outside the rain continue to pour that's why all the major streets going to their house is in above knee water level. tricycles opt not to travel anymore so more people take a dip in cold and dirty water. i went home around 8pm that night with a friend all soaked up so i went straight to the bathroom to have some hot shower. had coffee and took some pills coz i'm already starting to sneeze..heads to bed and thank God i'm feeling fine.

That Saturday morning, my friends and i were scheduled to watch a movie and go out for dinner. we plan of watching the new flick of KC and Sam by 3pm then we'll head to Max's Malolos for the chicken all you can promo but sadly we cancelled everything due to more downpours. my friends house were flooded already and the main highway is likewise flooded and not passable to light vehicles, anymore. we just stayed home and have chats in FB. we were all bored to death. the rain eventually stop pouring last night......

Today's Sunday! another lazy and gloomy day for i am stucked at home. can't think of anything yet but maybe later i'll put an end to this laziness......i better start moving my ass out of bed and fix the house. haven't eaten yet except for the cup of coffee awhile ago, i'm so not in the mood to eat......church time @5pm.

gonna be here till 3pm waiting for my baby......

*posted some shots of flooded highway, taken yesterday, thank's to my friends Norman & Chel for sharing the photos.

Finally..........it's my EX!

After a month and 4 days, finally saw my Ex..........:)

It was such a very nice "kilig" feeling to finally see my ex boyfriend turned husband even in pictures. after the long drama, series of unfortunate events......no laptop, no voice chat, no webcam, no more deck fones etc etc.....still, God is really good! he made me feel so good all the time especially when i am so sad and down, i am so thankful for everything. so amaze with his work everytime he touches me and make me feel his presence in our lives. one proof is the email from chef kenneth and now the pictures that i just saw. it maybe simple but it made a big impact on me. i feel really good and relieved. to finally see him.....it was enough for me (at the moment)....i wish to be with him every moment of my life. i'm just waiting for God's perfect time. i know in my heart that it'll happen.


*That's my baby during their Independence Day Party, the good looking guy infront with black watch....... Proud of you baby! I love you so much and i miss you terribly!

Goodies and more.........

lucky me! i've got goodies from my friends and relatives abroad! last month, my SIL in the US send us a box full of assorted goodies...a hand bag, havaiana's slippers, curve slippers, sweat pants, nuts, hair products, canned goods, nail polish. everyone in the house have theirs.
two days ago, i got ferrero chocolate, facial mask and some BB cream samples (i luv!) from my friends in Singapore and today, i have mini bucket of chocolate hazelnut spread, jergen's lotion, Loreal Shampoo, assorted chocolates and my most fav....cheeses! my BIL came from Qatar. his wife and i fetch him at the airport at around 10am. i drove them home, had lunch then pasalubong time! he ask me to get my cheese and i got 5 boxes of it, haha........i hope he wouldn't regret asking me to get my share. i luv cheeses! gave some to my dad, coz we both luv it! best with hot pandesal (as we fondly call it)..... but it only means freshly bake rolls. i miss having it for breakfast or snack time.....good to go with freshly brewed coffee, yum!

thank so much guys! and thank God for all the blessings......

*posted some of the goodies i recieved.....

12.

(right, Babe?)
other businesses i want...a dance studio for my fav workout which is dancing......a salon for my kikay needs and because i love making people beautiful especially their hair, that's my expertise.......an online store though i know it's kinda hard to manage but since i wanna go bargain shopping abroad i might as well turn it into a profitable thingi......a crafty shop that would sell my unusual creation coz i wanna make a name being the pioneer in something.....a pastry shop to showcase my cupcake creations and unusual cakes too! so i really better go practice baking right now, as in right now...hehe......i want my own brand of homemade stuffs, like processed meat, frozen/microwabable stuffs my own recipe, my own delivery pizza, sort of arny & dading's store that sells pichi-pichi and other native kakanins.....so many ideas in my mind that needs push to put into reality :)

14. more investments for our future kids.......coz they're much awaited, i only want to give the best for them.....

as the tag line in one of our local show goes......."walang impossible...wish ko lang!". it's really nice to have these dreams. something that i will look forward to fulfill in the near future......

thinking of having a vision board for quite a long time now but can't seem to do it.... maybe i'm not that artistic enough and my board would probably end up into a disaster instead of a beautiful future if i pushes with the plan...lol!

Funtastic Night!

last night was such a blast! thank God for the great time we had.....thank's to my lovely hubby for giving me the permission to go out, luv you!

it was set two weeks ago, right after our first out of Bulacan gimik....hehe. we left home at around 5pm. drop by SM North for some gift shopping then fetch Mommy Chel @ work, headed to Arny & Dading's peachy-peachy store in Valencia to buy some for consumption and take home and proceeded to the main purpose of our trip...we're attending a Bar opening somewhere in N.Domingo...it's called Valle Bora, own by Mommy Chel's friend. we met with the lovers Ruth and JD...it was a night full of fun and we all enjoyed it so much. after dinner,few drinks and side show by gay impersonator, we headed to Kopi Roti for some coffee and more chit chats and picture taking....the we call it the night!

Ruth and JD headed back to the hotel where they were staying for 3 days already and the kaladkarins bound home to Bulacan.....the usual stuff inside the car....a roaring sound of our voices! never ending chats and laughter....it was such a memorable night....thank's to the very accommodating couple, what else can we say...we love you so much Kapatid and Mommy Chel. and ofcourse, thank's to my kaladkarins sisters for everything.....i truly value this friendship!

God is good.....all the time!

i had a great Sunday! i am so overwhelm with all the blessings that God is giving me that's why i never get tired of praying everyday. though, there are times when i felt so down and out and i tend to question him but it's all part of being a human being. we cannot help but feel this way once in a while, what's important is we were able to get up again and go back to the right track.

truly, God is wonderful. he has all the best plans for us. we may not understand sometimes but later on he will let things happen and from there we will realize why he allows that to happen. it's kinda complicated but when it happens everything just fall back into the right places. it brings us this unexplained joy and i really really love this feeling.

thank's to Chef Kenneth for the very kind words he has for my husband. after all the low moments and dramas, everything he says makes my heart pumping once again. all my negative thoughts suddenly disappear. i am very very thankful and ofcourse very very proud of my one and only love....baby, i love you so much. from the very start i believe in you. i may not be able to show it at times but i am really really proud of you.

To God be the Glory!

Wedding Anniversary

Today marks our 9th year of being together as husband and wife....but actually we've been together for almost 20 years now....how time flies....i am so happy and so much inlove with my bestfriend, critic, soulmate, partner, lover and husband. I cannot thank God enough for giving me the best gift i can ever have in my life.

To My Sweetest Thing,

Happy Anniversary! I am so thrilled for this day. It hasn’t been easy for us but we made it! We survived!

I’m so proud to call you my husband and It means so much to me to be your wife. The Lord has really blessed us!

Thank you so much for all the love. For seeing something in me that others cannot. For choosing to marry me. For always being there to listen and making our relationship work. For putting up with my moods when I’m dealing with issues. For working so hard to give me the best. Thank you so much for everything.

I love you so very much and am committed to making our marriage last ‘til death do us part.

Happy Anniversary! I look forward to many, many more!

hugs & kisses,
your baby

late snack! :)

what a way to end my hot, not in the mood day! i just had my grilled cheese sandwich and ice cold coke. thank to my sis-in-law who send us the great tasting cheese from the US. i just so loved it! not to salty, not too bland but just right....it melts great over the bread splatter with some lady's choice mayo....mouth watering indeed!

i munch on the stuff while reading blogs. everyday i learn more and more that's why i'm kinda hooked now on the internet. seems like my day wouldn't be complete if i didn't scan all these web pages. good thing my hubby's not around coz if he's here i'll probably be scolded by now and will be banned from using the laptop coz it's taking so much of my attention oh well, i cannot be blamed for this is the only stuff apart from my household chores that's keeping me busy when he's out of the country for work.....i am also working my ass out here, haha. imagine being stucked in bed and eyes glued to the PC for quite a number of hours in a day...oh my! at least now, i am into blogging too. this can help improve my vocabulary and memory in preparation for my Australian dream....a nice way to practice my english skill, right?

feeling low

i hate this feeling....i wish i didn't have this weird feeling of being sad and neglected by my husband. i dunno what's wrong with me. i kept on asking myself is it just me? am i just putting things in my head? what causes me to feel this way? is it hormonal? oh my! i really wish i'm not in this situation right now coz it's starting to ruin my day...

i wanna stay positive and keep thinking of the happy thoughts but it's not working. oh God, please help me get through with this. you know how much i really want to keep the smile in my face and get things going. i guess, nobody can be of help. i'll probably have to deal it myself coz if not i'm gonna be on the loosing end.....hay!

the lesser the traffic of thoughts in your mind, the easier the journey of life is.........my status for today that really makes sense! hope to live by it.

so inspired!

just came across a blog yesterday accidentally and i got really really inspired by her post. i so love the fact that she is really what she is, no pretentions...very transparent. before, i am so cautious about watever i will share thinking that i might be wrong, my grammar, my thoughts being known to everyone who'll ge t to read it and be a laughing stuff at worst but now i realized that blogging is a personal thing, personal decisions, personal choice. it's a very useful way for people like me who can't say the things i wanna say for so many reasons. a very funway indeed to express watever i feel and watever i experience. by doing this, i can be who i am and say what i want without any more hesitations plus by reading other blogs i am learning so much. so much about the different aspects of life and my womanhood. i just love blogging.....

i am hoping to finally start my dream blogs soon......a food blog and a travel blog....i just hope i'll be able to find the drive to do it all......happy blogging everyone!

thank's to Life is Fun's SimpleMomRizza.......for the inspiration and the drive i got to continue my blog.
