i want a makeover!!!

ia that possible? i have been wishing for someone to surprise me with one... a free makeover would be great. hehehe.

i must have been watching too much lifestyle network and tyra.

but i do want one. really.. why?

> i haven't plucked or had my eyebrows threaded. imagine the jungle i have up there.
> even if i had my hair cut short. i sure could use a few styles.
> and a new wardrobe would be great too!! i have given away around 60% of the clothes i have and the 40% that remains are more on the maternity clothes. how loser can that get?
> i'm also dying for a spa treatment after i give birth.
> i'm really hating my skin now. it's too dry even if i put a ton of lotion on it.
> foot spa!!!

will this remain as a dream??

i really want a makeover... *sigh*

i'm still pregnant

yup. the big day hasn't arrived yet. still in my pregnant glory but stuck at home. not that i'm complaining, i'm having the grandest time! i get to spend the whole day with my son and see how he goes through his day.

right now we're having aishi's cabinet renovated so that the orocan drawers will hold all the kid's clothes and other things. and i get to keep an eye on their things now and keep track of their clothes. i just wish that our room's much more bigger than it is. but, we're living with my parents so i don't have the right to complain. it is after all their house. but we don't plan to stay here forever, we're saving up for our own place soon. and a lot of saving will be done.

so anyway, on to lighter things.... what have i been up to? well....

> still making jewelries. and waiting for the advance classes that i can attend.
> teaching kyle his abcs and 123s. and he's quite the fast learner. you just have to capture the right moment to get his full attention.
> looking into other business options. i don't plan to be a housewife you know... hehehe
> one step at a time savings. a little goes a long way
> preparing keone's things. we're back to square one again.
> baby proofing the house and sanitizing the house. keone will be arriving anytime soon.
> getting more and more impatient. can't wait to see keone. and i'm on my 36th week! 1 week or more to go. :)
> will be setting up a garage sale by next week. there are a lot of stuff i'm willing to sell that i don't get to use anymore and i'm sure there will be others that can use it. (old books, knick-knacks, unused notebooks good for journals, jewelries, old toys etc.)
> hopefully before keone arrives, we have painted and cleaned our room. so this means, we have this weekend to do it...

so, what's up with you? :)

hey blog, i missed you... been quite busy lately but i sure have a lot of stories to tell you =)

promise, when everything's all good and the schedule frees up. we'll catch up soon. hang in there. i know you're craving photos and funny quips from me. after the holidays, you'll be filled to the brim with a lot of stories.

just stay put dearie!

^_^

laugh trip moments

i had this fun conversation with colby sometime this week. obviously people like us HATE math like it's a disease. ask us to compute without any pens and calculators and you'll get blank stares from us. so anyway, this is how the conversation went:

colby: ang right angle 90 degrees diba?
yagie: oo.. ata
colby: hehehe ok.
yagie: math yan eh!!
colby: pati ako nalilito na. hahaha!
yagie: eh ano yung 45 degrees?
yagie: yun ba yung parang natutumbang letter L?
colby: ang 45 deg eh yung isang slice ng cake. hahaha!
yagie: ayun eh!!
yagie: so ang 90 degrees eh parang 3:00 sa relo? tama ba?
colby: korek!
colby: ang kulet!
yagie: panalo tayo sa visuals!!
colby: depende pa kung paano mag slice ng cake. baka kasi ang isang slice eh yung malaki noh!
colby: as in yung 90 deg slice ng cake!
yagie: oo nga naman..

hindi ka ba naman mabaliw sa usapan na yan? haha

~~*~~
cam whoring with kyle..

obviously wala kaming magawa mag ina. and you should see his face when i whip out my fone. alam niya agad picture taking na. siyempre may kasama pang struggle yan kasi makikialam siya sa fone ko. haha

ang saya di ba?

mama kiss tayo! :P

aga mulach encounters... at chef and brewer

since ang lovable kong dada eh may gig sa chef and brewer every thursdays (plugging po!) and tamang timing naman since si cousin liza eh bumisita from the states, we decided to let her watch my dad. and as fate (uy, fate ba talaga?) would have it, andun din pala si aga. siyempre kasama ko as usual ang partner in crime ko na si colby. buti na lang at tamang-tama ang lugar namin since malapit kami sa cr so kung ma weewee man si aga, dadaan siya sa amin. at oo nga at dumaan nga. siympre kaming mga simpleng mamamayan lang eh na-starstruck ng todo! kulang na lang may stars sa mga mata namin.

so anyway, here's a video we took of aga jamming with my dad's band. see my dad there at the back? actually siya yung kinukuhaan namin ng vid eh, sumingit lang si aga. hehe joke!

enjoy!

i'm just happy!!

out of nowhere, i came up with the best xmas present that i can give aishi!! but for now i'm going to keep it a secret until chistmas is over. :)

i'm just so happy at the idea and i wouldn't have to spend for anything for it! yey!!

i want...

that kfc bucket meal na may free choco mousse!! yummy! saw the commercial and i'm dying to have it!!

paging aishi... bili tayo ng kfc.. hehe :P

wala lang. :) later na ang mga tunay na updates, "busy" eh.

how i wish na gumagawa na lang ako ng mga accessories ko sa bahay. mas kumikita pa ako dun eh hahaha!

i'm just ranting...

some people i know have been acting like sheep. you guys have a brain you know, use it!! please!

some things are really going downhill. and no, it's not personal thank god! i wuld've cried about it and not blogged about it.

it's funny that one person can really turn around things just like that with the snap of his fingers. hence the first statement that some people have become sheep! thank god i didn't turn ito one of them.

i'm just counting down the days until i can finally say this is over and done with. can i say freedom? hahaha

on the downside, i'm sure going to miss some of those sheep. they have been good. and i'm proud of the others that have remained indifferent and just gets on with what they are contented with. good job you guys! and see you soon!

for now, i'm keeping my mouth shut and details secret. but one way or the other some people would know. word gts around fast... and people talk, and i mean talk!

;)

Happy birthday!

happy birthday ple!! to the greatest bestfriend in the world! here's to more years celebrating your birthday!!



would you believe, 9 or so years of knowing each other! ay lola, winner ka talaga!!

As mentioned earlier, as the ultrasound last Saturday indicated that we are going to have another little boy running around soon! It was quite a happy and surprising experience since we didn’t expect at all that it was going to be another boy. Half of me was hoping that it would be a girl since we first came up with the name for a girl and we were slacking off thinking for a boy’s name.

It was really funny when aishi saw that it really was a boy. I mean it’s no denying that the doctor pointed out his balls. It was right there in front of us. I just laughed at how funny it is. Part of we was also happy knowing that I wouldn’t go through all the hassle of taking care of a baby girl since I have no idea how to take care of one. Taking care of boys are much easier. They’re much easier to clean up after pooping and weewee. One or two wipes and they’re good to go. 

The only sablay thing that I forgot to do was ask for a copy of the ultrasound print out of baby’s genitals as proof that he is a boy! Haha

When we got home, mama was requesting to do a 3d ultrasound so that she can see what Keon looks like. Hopefully that can be arranged once I get my 13th month pay.

~~*~~

Our office has arranged an internal contest and the grand prize would be a whopping… P300k for the winning group! Gosh! Imagine all the money when our team wins!

~~*~~

Saw happy feet last Saturday and it’s a great movie!! I am truly in love with robin Williams! He’s absolutely cute! And the other penguins too!

This is one movie with a story. I didn’t notice how long the movie was!

~~*~~

My cousin just came back from the US and I can’t wait to see her again! It has been so long! Updates when we get to go out this week. :D

~~*~~

My little boy’s the jealous type. he makes funny faces or scrunches up his face to show he’s mad when he sees his dada kissing me or even touching my tummy. He even gets mad if he sees his uncle hugging my dad! That only happens to me and my dad. For other family members, he wouldn’t care less. Hahaha

He’ll be nice to you if you take him outside to play with the dog or, just play outside. After that if he gets tired, he comes rushing to me. hahaha. How user can my son get? Amazing!!

~~*~~

I just can’t help but feel sad when I see or even hear news of babies dying or even being born dead. It just breaks my heart. One, because as a mom I feel what the mom feels, after all that she has gone through then this tragedy. Then, of course the loss of a loved one.

Blame the hormones or whatever but I just want to cry. It’s just so unfair that these little angles have to be taken too soon. Para bang pinakita lang sa mga magulang kung ano ang itsura ng mga anak nila.

A big chunk also goes to the fact that i’m scared as hell that this might happen to me as well and i’m scared of not being able to cope at all. But if it’s god’s will, it’s god’s will.

But I’d really prefer that I get to keep my kids as long as possible.

happy dancing kyle

ay walang sound.. check out: http://yagie.multiply.com to hear his shrieks and shouts. hehe :P

and the gender is...

glitter text

again... at least proven that those chinese calendars are not reliable at all!!

naiinis ako..

kasi naman, pag gising ko kaninang umaga, nagsabi si yaya ni kyle (in a very casual manner pa!) na nadapa daw si kyle kahapon. so ayun may sugat tuloy ang little boy ko sa tuhod. nakakainis!

parang asan ba siya at hindi man lang niya nabantayan ng maayos para naman hindi magkaroon ng sugat ang anak ko? ang nakakainis pa eh parang ganun ganun lang. eh anak ko yun eh! anak ko yung nasugatan eh.

hmph nakaka bad trip lang... how i wish andun ako para hindi ganun ka-grabe yung sugat... :(

wawa naman little boy ko. *sigh*

I am seriously stressed lately. One, because the holiday season’s just under our noses and we’re up to our necks in preparing for the xmas party here in the office. Quite busy since I’m in the marketing department and follow ups and requests for sponsorships have been going on like crazy. Not counting of course the other people who send sponsorships and proposals every single day that I have to handle as well. But I’m just human and I can’t do everything at once. Here’s proof of how messy it gets this time of year…

Check out my desk… I believe I have the messiest and largest stack of papers in the whole office. Talk about me being OC… where is the OC person hiding? I need her here, asap!


the left side


the right side


And to think I hated having stacks and stacks of paper in my desk. And this is what I get.

You should see my marketing drawer and cabinet. It’s overflowing with things! I can’t even imagine putting any more items there! There’s no more space for the marketing department! Help! We’re drowning…

~~*~~

On to much better things then…

We laid our good friend and colleague, Edison to rest last Tuesday. It was a sad day since we won’t see him physically anymore but happy as well since he’s on to better things. No more pain and suffering.

One of my officemates, Peachy, created a memorial site for him. For Edison please feel free to light a candle for him even though you barely know the person. We, his officemates and friends would really appreciate it. J

~~*~~

Since I’m really busy with work, I wasn’t able to upload the pics of all the accessories I made. Unfortunately some of them were purchased already. But if you want to take a peek or you’re here in the ortigas area, drop me a line and I could show you what I made.

I also do customized accessories. Just show me the pic and I’lll try (and tell you kung kaya ba ng powers ko o hindi) to make your design.

I’m really looking forward to an advanced class in bead making.. para mas bongga ang mga designs!

If you want to share cool designs of necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc. please send the pics to my gmail. hazel.yago.hung@gmail.com J

I hate the feeling when you’re preggy and you’re all gassy and you just can’t let out the gas no matter how much you want it to. It just stays there in your tummy and makes you really uncomfy. I’d choose to burp or fart anytime. But then ayaw ng gas eh… kainis!! I hate this! First, I’m constipated, now this??

~~*~~

I’m a bit bothered with our CR, everytime I go there, the seat’s always up! To think that we have our own CR from the boys. But it seems like one of the boys was there before me. it’s nice to see that the seat’s up. But it’s a girl’s CR. Is it necessary to leave the seat up? Nakakabother lang talaga…

i was never good at goodbyes and losing someone...

This November has been a bit of a sad month for me and for the people who I get to spend most of my time with.

I have been working in Yehey for more than 2 years and this year I have witnessed a lot of people leaving the company. They were the people I got to know when I started here and now, they have moved on. Funny thing was, they were almost if not, a few months older than my stay in Yehey. I’m happy for them that they have ventured into bigger things. Who wouldn’t? I would if an opportunity presents itself. I’m just sad that I wouldn’t get to see them everyday, wouldn’t hear the usual banter, the hirits, endless laughter. I really learned to love them the way I love my close friends.

I really hate saying goodbye. It feels like when you say goodbye, you won’t get to see that person anymore. And honestly, I don’t want that to happen. I just hate goodbyes. Really.

See I don’t even know how to end this entry about goodbyes…

----

By far, this has been the worst week ever for us here in the office. Our good friend and officemate, Edison, passed away last Thursday. It was a shock since it was unexpected and sudden.

We were going about our usual Thursday morning. Checking mails, calling up people, minding our own business really. We were accustomed to Edison usually coming in late for work or filing for half day. We kenw this was no different day. After buying lunch from our usual manang, I asked Cams, his seatmate if he’s coming in today late or half day. She answered, as usual. So I went about my own stuff.

Juli came in our area and was a bit frantic. I thought there must be something happening outside. All of us wanted to know what the fuss was about. Then I saw cams, she was crying. Then I heard someone say the Edison died. Today. He didn’t wake up from his sleep.

I was shocked. I didn’t know what to react. Half of me was hoping or waiting for someone to say the joke’s on us. But then I guess it wasn’t. it was true. He was gone. Just like that. Gone.

To think I got to see him that Wednesday night. He was there in his area, busy doing some programming stuff. If I remember correctly, I even asked him how he’s been and noticed that he’s still getting thinner. He should try to eat more. I couldn’t remember what he said but he was in a light mood. Some even remembered that same night, before he went home, he said goodbye to everyone there in the office. Jay was even surprised that Eds bid him bye. He even joked, bakit hindi ka na ba babalik? Unfortunately, he didn’t and will never come back.

It’s a bit freaky knowing that some people, unknowingly say goodbye to everybody before they pass away. And eds was one of those.

We went to his wake this morning and from the moment I saw him there. That’s when everything sinked in. he’s gone. I won’t get to joke around with him anymore, I won’t hear him call me to eat our lunch in the pantry. I won’t get to hear him tell animated stories about his life. And at 24, he’s gone. The tears just fell and I just let them. Even some of my guy officemates were crying.

Although I still can’t accept the fact that he’s gone 100%. It just feels like he resigned. Moved to another company. I don’t know. I really can’t cope with the fact that I lost someone I know at such a young age.

Hey eds, if you get to read this, I’m sure you’re happy. I guess now’s the time for you to take it easy. I’m sure you’re watching over us. I know you’ve heard this a lot today from your parents, but we really are proud of you. You are a great person and truly a loss to all of us. Kung asan ka man, I hope hindi na mainit dyan para hindi ka na pawisan. And I’m sure wherever you are, you get to eat all the food you want to eat. Ingat ka lagi… I’m sure going to miss you… - mommy yags

my little talkative boy

it's so amazing to finally hear my little boy speaking. as i mentioned this to his stage ninang, (hi colby!) may accent pang kasama. australian accent, for that! haha

for now, my little boy can say:

>car
>ball
>there - tactic niya dito eh, magpapakarga muna tapos sabay turo at sabi ng there. galing mag manipulate noh? haha
>wawa - pointing to his insect bites
>dada - to call aishi or my dad
>mama - to call my mom or me

i sure hope i could capture these words. :)

and my little boy's 16 months yesterday! so amazing that time really flies so fast and i'm getting impatient to see our little baby #2. any day now, we're off to see if i'm carrying a girl or a boy. :)

80's kid ka ba?

well then hop over to COLBY's blog and reminisce on the good ol' 80's and early 90's shows.

thanks ple for the good 80's memories. mahal ko silang lahat!!!

ahihihi
