eeek! gasp! *faint*

that was my rection when keon's yaya appraoched me and told me she's going to pull out a strand of dead hair. i was ok with it since i have a habit of pulling out my dead hair when bored.

what resulted from the title above when upon close inspection of the hair, i saw that it was WHITE.

OMG. white dead hair.

the dead hair i could live with, but WHITE?!?!!

i'm too you to sport white hair. no effing way.

yeah, so i made a big spectacle about it causing much confused and worried faces from my kids. i guess they were thinking that their mom has gone wacko and totally lost it.

other may think this is an overreaction over something little. i guess it is. but...

the thought of moving one step towards getting old, scares the crap out of me. seriously.

and that white strand of hair has been taking refuge in my planner. maybe as a reminder that *lagot ka yags* you are getting old.

or maybe, stress. i read somewhere that you get white hair when you're too stressed. (sige, i-justify mo pa)

oh well.

i just hope i won't see another one anytime soon.

a new tattoo

a new tattoo - urbandub

Great moments they pass by
If youre careless
Desperately trying to speak the words
Ive been wanting to say for a long time.
Tongue tied, every time I try to talk to you
In time, Ill find the right line.

Caught a glimpse of you
I tremble every time you walk by
Hopelessly trying to find a way
To be near you, to get near you.
In my mind, plays thoughts of you all the
time
Ill find the right line

Ill bleed for you
Like a new tattoo in my heart
Youll stay permanent

Am I too late now?
Will I find a way to get to you somehow?
Shes breaking me down again
Shes breaking me down

love, love , love the song!!

i miss my cousins

my cousins migrated to NZ. Kai and Renz. they sure have grown up to be really pretty and handsome teens! must be the good genes we have, hehehe (evidenced by kyle and keon, and me. hahahahahahaha )

i just miss my fave cousins!

RENZ: the once chubby, marshmallow little boy turned out into a hunk. harry potter is that you?!?!?!
KAI: the little princess turned into a fine young lady. little miss heartbreaker in the making? haha lagot ako sa dad mo. :P


i'm sure little denise would look as pretty as you guys are now. :)


we'll see you SOON in NZ. :D

counting with kyle

kyle has learned to count from 1-20 in english for quite some time now so recently we started to teach him how to count in tagalog considering he can't understand tagalog, yet. hehehe and this experience was really funny.

me: ok kyle let's count in tagalog from 1-10

me: isa
kyle: i-sa
me: dalawa
kyle: da-wa
me: tatlo
kyle: ta-to
m: apat
k: apat
m: lima
k: li-ma
m: anim
k: nim
m: pito
k: pitoy

dito ako natigilan, at natawa ng sobra. kyle was even laughing when he realized he said his dada's name. i couln't continue anymore so he finished counting.

k: wa-wo
k: sham
k: sham-pu

yey!!! i asked him to repeat it again but, nag expire na ang moment. hehe

ok, next on the agenda, counting in chinese, and aishi got it covered. :D

this paid blogging thing and paypal

can someone please shed some light on this? seems appealing to me but i'm still in the dark on how to go about it.

i'm concerned about the pay per post/paid blogging thing and how you can get the payments thru paypal considering that paypal philippines can now accept payments (if that's the correct term) and you can withdraw it through a local bank.

help please?

a little extra income would really help.

email me na lang oki? :D

hibernation

indeed i was. a lot has transpired the past few weeks that i didn't get to blog about it at all. there were good days, there were worse days but those worse days, amazingly turned for the best. god does work really sneaky. and yes i am happy that he snuck up on me or else i would be, let's just say, blinded and "tainted" by what's around me. and with a big sigh of relief, i say: THANK GOD!!

i'm not going to dwell into all the details that transpired, it's all water under the bridge for me, but for sure, someone i know still has a very big stick stuck up where the sun don't shine. if that makes you happy, then fine, i'm not going to be part of that, not at all. i have principles you know. let's just see what happens after.

or... maybe one day when i'm in my ranting mode, i'll spill all the beans and see who gets to react about it! yeah! that would be fun!! hahahaha

but for now, i'm staying positive because i'm with people who are far better human beings than others. so there.

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

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

everyone looked so nice! the ones missing are jago, jackie, franco and trisha. we'll see you guys in december! :D

aishi looks so gwapo, although he's so thin in that picture. my stressed-out hubby..

mergers and acquisitions

apparently yahoo! had acquired mybloglog and now merges your yahoo account to this. got quite stumped for a while then got the hang of it. got a bit scared too that maybe the communities i'm in got lost. but thank god it didn't.

funny how yahoo and google are competing against each other in acquiring a lot of independent sites and applications and make it their own or part of their services. amazing!

imagine the money that was shelled out to get them?

now if that happens to our site in the future, which our boss has been praying for - he's wishing/praying to be the next youtube. imagine the possibilities and one of my dreams coming true!!

wish wish wish!!

move over friendster...

i have found a new love...

i'm now a facebook addict. it's so fun! you gus should try it out too and add me up. :)
