sometimes i believe in horoscopes

The Bottom Line

Your engine is all revved up, but there's no place to go today. Expect no progress.

In Detail

Your engine is all revved up, but there's really no place for you to go today ... all projects are moving forward nicely, and the people in your life are doing well. There will be no frantic phone calls or calls for your sage advice. So what to do with all this energy and time? Spend it on yourself! This is a great day to go off on your own and do whatever makes you feel connected to the world. If the weather permits, take a nice long walk -- and bring along some of your favorite music.

most definitely, people in my life are doing well. i'm glad. :)

~~

and i may not say this often verbally, but aishi, thank you for not being judgemental. even if i do bash you here in my blog. you don't get mad, still talk to me and still be the nicest person. thank you for understanding and being a person. and with this i gain new confidence to continue writing, because you and the kids are all that matter...

chick lit

eversince i hung out one time at powerbooks and read the book, i was hooked. and now i can't wait to get all the copies. i miss buying books

and now it's a tv series! hehe

i heart Gossip Girl.

this is not another stardust movie review

because everybody who watched has already blogged about the movie and what they thought of it. i mean, any neil gaiman fan would say they loved the book and read it a million times like i did and loved the movie considering there were a few scenes in the book not included in the movie and some characters weren't there.

so no, i'm not going to do that. and i'm no film critic. i'm just going to put in what i liked:

>personally, i think someone could play a much better role of yvaine than claire danes. and no, i'm not harboring any ill feelings toward her behavior about us pinoys.
>robert de niro is to die for!! a really different twist to cap'n shakespeare. ahlavet!!
>michelle pfeiffer = hot! now that's the way to age. one hot/smoking witch!
>did you notice rupert everett there? he's one of the 7 brothers.
>sir ian mckellen as the narrator. perfect!
>tristran looked way cuter when his hair got styled by mr. de niro

overall, i had a blast watching the movie. even aishi, who i've been pressuring to read the book loved the movie. although he still won't read the book.

i also found the song/vid of the song that was playing when the credits were rolling. and it was a surprise. buhay pa pala ang take that! hahaha boy band moments ito. hahaha

The song while the credits roll

rambling again

thank god for music to calm me down...

i thought i was going to have the greatest day, but then come afternoon it just went pffft. just like that.

but as they say, there's always a silver lining. i just have to go find it hiding among the clouds.

~

i just can't keep all my feelings bottled up inside me. where else can i vent out but here in my blog. does that make me a bad person?

i'm not pleasing anybody here because this is my blog. i didn't make this blog to be popular and talked about, i just wanted a venue to let out my feelings and thoughts. because before i kept it all inside and where did i end up? more sad, depressed and destructive, when i write what i feel, after publishing my entry, i'm ok. i can breathe. i am free.

if that makes me less of a person. then fine. i never asked to be judged.

if anyone got beef, not my problem.

~

there is such a thing as freedom of speech. ask kuya k. :)

ramblings

your stupid mouth will get you in trouble.

and no it's not for me. majority of the time i think before i speak. sorry na lang kung ang masabi ko eh masakit.

deal with it. what doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

i'm a woman with balls - figuratively.

MRM Nights

kwento to follow. still sleepy and not in the mood to go into the details.

enjoy the pics for now.

MRM Nights @ Purple Haze

i'm quite getting tired of my layout/template. i just want my blog to have a new look and feel. anyone care to share some links? or even help out with the layout?

i'm just bored now..

ranting... again

so, let me see... where do i begin?

you (referring to me - hehe labo) did something in the hopes that in some way or another would get noticed or even recognized for the person concerned but it was acknowledged by the other person.

does this mean, this person's not doing anything at all? or just ignoring this thing i did?

who's at fault here? me, the person who did something or this someone who didn't do anything?

makes you really think that there's something going on that i'm not part of or not being included in. and this should be team effort! the upside here would be all the blame will be on this someone and not on me and the other person i'm with. if and if the blame gets to us too, all hell would break loose. really.

oh, and the backbiting and false stories that are being made right this minute. once you hear the stories you'll hate this someone too.

(ple, remind me to make you kwento about this. as usual it's about D.B. bwahahahaha!! )

bato bato sa langit...
ang mag react... guilty!

turning 26

I meant to write about what happened when I celebrated my 26th birthday but I was caught up with a lot of things that I totally forgot. And well, I didn’t have time to capture it all in pictures. But I’m not complaining. As long as I got to share it with close and new found friends. I am happy.

As incubus said in one of their songs: “and in this moment, I am happy”

And I am.

It may be a big deal for me to turn 26, when I have been very vocal to my friends that I’ll forever remain a 25 year old. I don’t know, maybe I might change my mind along the way and embrace my age.

Why 25 then? I think this is the peak of my existence, where I could do what I want and not being bound by my parents telling me what to do and what not to do. I have a family of my own where my kids are like my playmates, I could still run after them, be a kid like them, really understand what they like and dislike, in a way, know where they are coming from. This is the age where I am really enjoying the money I am earning and sharing it with the people I believe deserve to share what I have. And at 25 I’ve learned a lot.

So I guess there’s no difference in turning 26. Age is just a number. I just chose to stick to the number I like best.

I celebrated my birthday a Saturday, sept. 30 a few days before my birthday which fell on a Monday. I invited the usual people – the boys and their gilrs (4L) minus franco and cj. Of course my bestfriend was present, kerol and her hubby bogart, and the officemates I usually hang out with.

The house was packed with the people who came. Aishi prepared his ever famous chili con, hotdog pulutan and some chips. The guests were happy. Booze were overflowing (4 cases of beer methinks and rhum coke for me and ple).

The party ended around 430am. We didn’t even realize that it was that late with all the jokes, chismis, stories. The last people standing were ple and my officemates.

I may not remember all the details and other preps for the party but all I could have in my memories that these people made m birthday really special. I feel loved.

I may not receive any gifts, but isn’t being with the people you love and who love you back, worth more than all the material things you ever wished for?

And of course, aishi was there to make it all the more special. My aishi really took care of me and the preps. Really, what more could I ask for?

I'm going to sit here and wait for what 27 will bring. will you be there when i turn 27?

update: uploaded some pics during my birthday in my multiply

milestones and the art of parenting

my two boys are indeed growing up. each day that i get home from work, i see them doing something new. and it makes my heart burst with so much pride and happiness.

last night, keon was in his crib, the moment he saw us enter the house, he was beaming and babbling. he immediately turned over on his tummy and crawled toward the net of his crib. we were cheering him on for rolling over but i guess his "show" wasn't over, he wen into a kneeling position and tried with his little hands to stand up. and he did! realizing that he was able to do something new, he was laughing and making squealing sounds. he finally stood up last night, with no help at all. at 8 months! amazing!

although he hasn't mastered sitting down, but i guess he's more happy standing up and being mobile when he's in his walker. he could explore his little world.

and where is kyle when this happened? he was cheering his little brother on for his new achievement. i swear these two boys will grow up with a good brother relationship.

oh but the story didn't end there...

kuya kyle was on his cranky moods again and with the constant "no's" with every word.

while his dada was lying on the sofa, tired after a day's work, out of nowhere, kyle threw this mini table thingy which almost hit aishi on his foot. of course i had to reprimand him for his bad behavior that i asked him to apologize to his dada and he'll stay in his corner for some time-out. of course, he didn't apologize, maybe out of pride but he still had to serve time in his corner which he did for about 30 seconds. i talked to him in my clamest voice that what he did was not nice and that he had to say sorry to dada.

i guess what he did sunk in and he was quite hesitant to approach his dad and say sorry. so i just told him to sit beside his dada and just hug him. aishi on the other hand, told him that he did was bad and he almost got hurt, after that he told kyle that he still loves him and he hugged kyle. and then dada and son are friends again.

i'm just happy that when we do reprimand kyle, we don't have to resort to spanking. he's more cooperative when we talk to him. and at a young age, i think he can already understand. but of course, there are and there will be a few lapses along the way because they're still kids and we have to endure another round of disciplinary actions when keon's older.

and the journey to parenthood is still a long road to travel.

i'm just happy i'm not alone and i have aishi with me on this journey. :)

(click on the image to enjoy it's full glory)

seriously?

why feign eloquence and intellect through written discourse with yourself when sometimes it's more simple laying down words that your brain really feels like saying?

just a mental diarrhea :)

ranting... again

sa susunod kasi na mag iinarte, siguraduhin lang na gagawin mo yung mga sinasabi mo. ang daming napeperwisyo eh. sa totoo lang, dahil sa iyo nasira ang araw ko eh.

at minsan matuto naman na intindihin ang sitwasyon, hindi lahat pabor dapat sa iyo. sa tingin mo ba sinasadya namin yun? at hindi lang naman ikaw ang dapat nakakakuha ng attention nila eh, may ibang tao din na gusto silang kasama. pantay pantay lang kayo sa mga mata nila.

pero kung ako ang mamimili, hindi kayo, sa ganyang pag aasal nyo, kahit na sabihin na may bait ka, pero pag nakatalikod naman ang daming sasabihin, wag na lang di ba? anong example yan di ba?

tsaka maawa ka naman sa kasama ko, maaga na nga gumising, papagurin pa para sa wala. bata pa siya eh.

yun lang.

ok na ako :)

tagged!

i've been tagged by cynch (kung nde ako nag blog hop hindi ko ito mapapansin hehe)

so here goes my desktop in the office:

it's a collage of my 2 boy's pictures. makes the work more bearable and sane when i see them. majority of the files there are the ones that need to be categorized. as much as possible i would prefer a bare desktop so that i could see the wallpaper better. blame my oc tendencies, but i want my files in their proper places. less hassle.




A.Upon receiving this tag, immediately perform a screen capture of your desktop. It is best that no icons be deleted before the screen capture so as to add to the element of fun. You can do a screen capture by:

I'm tagging: Colby, Van, Jenny, Mama Meeya and Kerol! send some love if you've answered this so that i could check out your blogs.

it sucks

when you have tons of ideas in your head that you can write about but they're quite stubborn and chose to just stay there in your head?

so now i'm stuck with a bunch of ideas that won't come out. how painful can that get?

and, while hearing certain songs in my playlists, short stories flood my head and i can't seem to finish the story because as soon as i open word, the story slowly disappears.

why???

i hate having writer's block.

giddy with excitement

most definitely!!

2 days to go and, after all the waiting and drama, stardust is here!!

to those i made kulit, manonood tayo!! as in!! :D

my name is...

Kyle Hum
