the weekend that was dec 27-28

I've been procrastinating for the past weeks so for this weekend, since I'm in the mood, I did a lot of photo uploading and web browsing. I also got the chance to watch Kung Fu Panda, and I liked it a lot (it's now one of my favorites!). I don't have much to say about this weekend except that I rested well (well, not really well...) in preparation for the coming year end closing. Did some updating of my other spaces in the cyberworld and some reading.

Early morning of Sunday when we received the good news from Ate, they have already received the package and they liked everything we sent. And I quote: "Natanggap namin lahat. Walang labis, walang kulang...Sad ako kasi 6 Yes! lang ung magz (Haller, ambigat kaya nyan!)...At ang mga padala nyo, kagaganda! Kahit magbayad ako sa 'yo ng 50K, sulit! (Uhm, sige...kung mapilit ka...)...Lahat ay perfecto, thank you! (Siyempre, ako pah!)...Basta lahat maganda...Maayos at maganda lahat ng bili nyo...Sa dami ng pa-thank you ko at papuri, di na ba libre 'yun lahat? (50K remember?)"

the weekend that was dec 20-21: overdue

Time to rest after a tiring week. Haaay! Did a lot of reading, bloghopping, moviewatching and chatting. Also, we prepared our "package" for my sister, my bro-in-law and my pamangkins. Norly's brother and his family is migrating into Canada and will be leaving in the 26th.

I wonder what would their reaction be, will they be as excited as we are when we receive balikbayan boxes? Oh well, we just have to wait for a few days more before they see what we have bought for them (camouflage and maong pants for Norly, manicure set and sewing kit for Ate, jogging pants, jackets and shoes for Lex, pajamas and jacket for Cayon, and socks and feeding set for Lance).

the weekend that was dec 13-14: overdue

Late na akong bumangon, kahit maaga akong nagising hehe! Nagpahatid na ko ng before lunch sa amin para makapag-prepare ako (at makapag-byuti rest na din) for that night's affair. 4 PM sinundo ulit ako ni Irvin para ihatid sa Sofitel for our Christmas party. Buti naman at di kailangan ang masyadong effort para sa damit this time, jazz up your jeans lang kasi ang tema. Sabagay last year naman natakasan ko masquerade theme dahil nasa Boracay ako nun :)

Anyway, hi-way, trapik ebriwer! As in, nakakagigil talaga! 6:30 na kami nakadating sa MOA to meet my friends pero okey pa din dahil konti pa lang ang tao sa venue. At ang mas masaya, dinner is served na. Luckily, buffet ang chibog this time (unlike nu'ng anniversary) at lahat na-enjoy namin, lalo na 'yung dessert. Busog naman before kami mag-program proper.

Enjoy kami sa program, hindi ko expected na magandang theme pala ang Runway. Out muna this year ang indakan, in ang rampa. At super enjoy naman! South Border ang guest band namin. konti lang ang napanood ko kasi imi-meet ko na si Irvin na pagod na pagod na kakaikot sa MOA

:(

Umabot pa kami sa midnight sale ng SM Bacoor kung saan andun din ang tropang Estacion.

Sunday. The usual lang, books and internet :) At siyempre shopping pa din para sa mga pamangkins!

the weekend that was dec 6-7: overdue

Shopping mode! Pumunta kami ng aking Chevron colleagues slash friends sa Bulacan (parang ecozone) para tumingin ng sale ng mga branded items. Medyo di ako nag-enjoy dito (kahit may nabili ako :P). At andun na din lang, e di tumuloy na kami hanggang Starmills Pampanga! Hahaha! Akalain mo! Pero at least dito medyo nag-enjoy na ko. Nakabalik kami ng RCBC ng almost 10 na. Buti na lang at madaming baon si Irvin na patience, hehe!

Kumain pa siyempre kami Yellow Cab before umuwi :) Yiheee, date na naman!

Shopping mode pa din ng Sunday. Pero this time puro kay Ate naman ang ipinamili ko. :) Haaay! Medyo mahirap magkaroon ng sister sa abroad ha, hindi mo matanggihan ang mga hiling nya :P Anyway, masaya naman mag-shopping para sa mga bata!

samu't sari

1. Several days ago, nag-appear ang smiling moon (I think December 1 'yun). Akalain mo, Jupiter + Venus + Moon = Smiley! Minsan lang mangyari ito kaya naman tinitigan ko talaga, it made me smile. (Tingin ko, madaming malungkot na tao that night kaya ginawa 'yun ni God.)

2. Nag-team bonding kami last November 26. At ano ang ginawa namin? Nanood kami ng Twilight! Nag-enjoy naman ako kahit di ko type si Rob Pattinson (lalo na 'yung mga nagbabasa ng books, mas di nila type si Rob dahil hindi daw siya ang personification ni Edward). But overall, I liked the movie. Will I read the book? I'll see. (I'm not the type who would read the book just because everybody reads it, kunyari against the flow ako. Kapag nag-lielow na sila, might read the book and get kilig na!)

When you can live forever, what do you live for?

3. I'm almost complete with my Eraserheads CD Thank you, Irvin! for the Eraserheads CDs you gave me last November 12. Konti na lang!

4. Salamat, mga friendships - JJ, Marie, Grace and Melody! Dahil sa inyo, may Starbucks planner na ko! I hope to utilize this extensively in 2009. Mwah!

5. Dumating na ang friendship naming si Mhay from US. As expected, walang pasalubong. Hehehe! Sana magpakain na lang di ba? :)

thought for today

Thanks Bernadette!

let it snow! let it snow! let it snow!

Siyempre hindi sa Pilipinas 'to! Kaku-cute!





At siyempre, kung pa-cute-an din lang naman, magpapahuli ba ang latest pamangkin ko na hindi masyadong kamukha ng nanay nya?!
