When I heard that Michael Jackson passed away, I was literally shocked! Sayang naman.. kabawasan na naman ng isa sa mga magagaling na performers. Bata pa lang ako ay isa na ako sa nakikitili at nakikisayaw sa mga kanta at videos nya.. I' m sure yan din ang napi-feel ng mga pinoy in-mates na nag-alay ng tribute dance para ke Jacko. Bakit hinde?! si Jacko ata ang naging inspirasyon nila at syempre pa.. sa hit thriller dance ata sila sumikat at nakilala sa buong mundo. It's nice to know na in their own way ay pinapakita nila ang knilang pakikiramay at pag-alala ke Jacko. Nakakabilib ang performance level ng mga in-mates dito.. no wonder naging patok ang video nila sa youtube. And pinakita nila na kahit nasa kulungan sila, ay me matino rin silang pedeng magawa at pwede rin silang ipagmalaki ng mga kapwa pinoy. Proud to be Pinoy!

Home Sweet House

Sa lunes ay balik pinas na ang aking mahal na asawa.. mejo matagal rin sya namalagi dito sa lupain ng mga sakang.. dalawang taon ang term nya ngayon bukod pa sa mga nauna nyang alis kung saan-saang lupalop ng mundo na me tinatayong mga planta.Masyado kasing in-demand e, wehehe! (proud ako syempre! bebeko yata yn!) Pero ngayon ay napagdesisyunan naming dalawa na mamalagi muna sa Pinas pansamantala para masimulan na namin ang aming mga plano.. tama na muna cguro ang pag-iipon (parang me naipon e wehehe!).. quality time naman ika nga nila. Mauuna syang umuwi sakin sa Pinas ng isang buwan, anim na buwan lng naman ang term ko dito kaya ayus lang rin ang timing.

Una sa aming listahan ay ang mga chikitings syempre.. mejo tumatanda na rin kame at kinukulit na rin kame ng mga soon-to-be lolas na gusto na nila ng "mga apo" hehe! (take note, "mga"!) kya panahon na siguro para seryosohin sila,hehehe! Wala pa ring apo sa both sides namin kaya nai-imagine ko na kung gaano magigingspoiled ang mga magiging anak namin..


Sunod sa aming listahan ay ang aming pugad.. ito ang isa sa mga mabigat na dahilan kung bakit namin kailangang magtiis na mgkalayo ni bebeko! Bago kme umalis noong 2007 ay nakakuha na rin kame ng maayus na lupa sa Cavite...malapit sa bahay ng mommy ko.. maganda rin ang location kasi malapit sa SM Bacoor at malapit sa sakayan pa-Manila, malapit rin sa ospital at eskwelahan kaya di na rin kami ngdalawang isip at kinuha na agad namin, isa ito sa maipagmamalaki namin ng asawa ko na pinaghirapan at pinag-ipunan namin. Habang nandito kame ay pinag-iisipan na namin ang mga details ng aming magiging tahanan. Permanent na syempre yun and once lang mgpapatayo ng bahay kya kailangan ay sigurado kami sa gusto namin. Madugong gawaan ito...!>!!

Kotse..luxury or necessity?? sa tingin namin sa panahon ngayon ay necessity na ito. Delikado ang mundo ng pamamasahe sa atin kaya kahit mas praktikal mag-commute e mas safe naman pag me sasakyan. Ito ay optional pa sa aming listahan.. kapag tingin namin e kaya pa ng aming bulsa, hehehe..!

bawaaaw...waaaaww!!.. what's a house without a dog! pareho kaming mahilig ni bebeko sa doggy kya hinde pwedeng wala kaming alagang "mga" aso.. plano sana namin ay apat..at iba-ibang lahi.. askal, dalmatian, labrador at husky.. hehehe mejo mahal na ata un a!.. hehehhe pag di kinaya ng powers namin ay malamang mga native dogs na lang... wow what a term "native"! Hindi kasi kumpleto ang happy family pag walang pet..

Isang buwan na lang at ako naman ang mgsasabi ng home sweet home! haaayyy di na ko mkapag-antay... 33 days na lang!

The Animal Planet


Medyo hinde sila animal lovers noh?! Madalas nga naming biruan dito na mas madalas pang maligo at mgpaparlor ang mga alaga nila kesa sa kanila..


Common na tanawin na dito ang mga japs na ngpapasyal ng aso (biro nga ni Jao e ang mga Japs ang pinapasyal ng mga doggy! hehe!) Nakakatuwa nga ang mga japs.. kahit gano sila ka-bc hinde pwedeng hinde nila ipasyal ang alaga nila kahit pa malate sila sa opisina, ganyan nila kamahal ang kanilang mga pets.


Busog sa pagmamahal at pagaalaga ng kanilang mga amo. Mga overweight na nga ang mga hayop dito.. ung mga pusa pa lang e halos kasing taba na ng mga aso kya siga na sila dito dahil kayang kaya na nilang ibox-out ang mga doggies dito..palagi rin nakadamit at nkaayus ang kanilang mga pets. Mukang mabango palage at bagong ligo..(daig pa sila! hehe!) Minsan ay nkaangkas sa bike para hinde mapagod. Pero in fairness ay napaka behave ng mga alaga nila.. hinde pala tahol at tahimik lang.. mana sa mga amo hehe.. hinde basta nanghahabol o nangangagat at pwedeng isama sa mga gimik..
Yun lng kasi halos ang libangan nila dito.. lalu na yung mga matatanda na wala ng magawa sa buhay.

Pero ayus nga dahil kung me compassion sila sa hayop edi lalu na siguro sa tao..

Last thursday my husband bought a Shiseido shampoo set as a gift for his mom. But before going home, he and his friend stopped by a food station to take-out some dinner. They were so engrosed with their conversation that my husband forgot his shiseido bag on the store. He was already home when he remembered and was too tired to go back to the store. He was thinking to drop by the food store by friday night after office but he had too much work that he had an overtime of up to 930. He thought it was hopeless and the shampoo would have been gone by now or picked up by other customers. Saturday morning he had second thoughts of buying his lunch on that store but decided to go anyways. While ordering, he asked the crew if she saw a plastic bag that he left last thursday. He was surprised that the crew took out a plastic bag and gave it to him. It's amazing that people has still a touch of honesty in them. Anyone could have picked it up since it's been left 2 days ago.

I also, was a witness of this honesty.. there are wallets left in the ladies toilet and yet nobody dares to take it.. in the supermarkets here.. their supplies are left outside unattended but nobody sneaks out and shoplifts. In bus stations, the driver went out of their ways to return the baggages left by the passengers.

No wonder this country was branded as one of the safest place to live.. no wonder people here live in harmony .. honesty really brings peace and order to everybody..

BALIK-BAYAN BOX


Ilang linggo na lang at uwian na! kaya kailangang maiayus ko na ang mga psalubong ko para sa aking pamilya... ganito pala ang feeling ng OFW hehe..

Nung Pebrero, bago ako umalis ay super excited ako.. syempre ibang lugar naman.. medyo mas kikita ng konti kesa sa Pinas at syempre makakaexperience din ng winter sa wakas.. pero after 4 mos ng stay ko rito.. haaaaayyyy gusto ko nang umuwweeee! pero hinde pa pwede dahil 2 months pa!.. naisip ko lang na paano pa kaya ang mga totoong OFW na taon ang kailangang itagal sa ibang bansa para mgtrabaho para sa kanilang pamilya.. mabigat pala talaga ang kanilang sakripisyo.. maganda lang pakinggan na sa ibang bansa sila ngtatrabaho pero ang totoo.. matinding lungkot at hirap ang kanilang tinitiis para kumita ng pera pampadala sa knilang mga mahal sa buhay... haaayyy! isa lang ang masasabi ko.. saludo ako sa inyo!

one week na akong namimili at nagaayus ng mga ilalagay ko sa aking munting kahon.. ngunit hanggang ngayon ay hinde ko pa rin matapos-tapos.. hirap kasi mag-isip ng mga pasalubong....(at mahirap maghanap ng sale! heheh!) gusto ko kasi ay matuwa naman ang mga mahal ko sa buhay sa aking munting handog sa kanila...

KANTAHAN TAYO!



LOVE STORY


We were both young when i first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashback starts
I`m standing there on a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
See you make your way through the crowd


And say hello, little did i know
That you were romeo
You were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from juliet
And i was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don`t go


And i said Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I`ll be waiting, all there`s left to do is run
You`ll be the prince and i`ll be the princess
It`s a love story, baby, just say yes
So i sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet `cause we`re dead if they knew
So close your eyes, escape this town for a little while
Oh, oh, oh `cause you were romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from juliet
But you were everything to meI was begging you please don`t go


And i said Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I`ll be waiting, all there`s left to do is run
You`ll be the prince and i`ll be the princess
It`s a love story, baby, just say yes


Romeo, save me, they`re trying to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it`s real
Don`t be afraid, we`ll make it out of this mess
It`s a love story, baby, just say yes


I got tired of waiting, wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you was fading
When i met you on the outskirts of town
And i saidRomeo save me, i`ve been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head, i don`t know what to think
He knelt to the ground and he pulled out a ring
And said


Marry me, juliet, you`ll never have to be alone
I love you and that`s all i really know
I talked to your dad, you`ll pick out a white dress
It`s a love story, baby, just say yes
Oh, oh, oh, oh

We were both young when i first saw you ....

Nang nadinig ko itong kanta na ito sa isang wedding video ng aking cousin-in-law.. i was mesmerized by the song.. and i wanna share the lyrics to everyone..

Happy Birthdays!


Yesterday June 6 was my dad's birthday... he would have been 64 if he was still around.. just miss him so much.. it was really funny because he has two birthdays .. he said that my grandma doesn't really remember the exact date of his birth because at that time.. only midwives handled the childbirth and it took them several years before they went to register his birth to the NSO..
my grandma first said that my dad was born the 6th of June so that's when he celebrates his birthday but after several years my grandma retracted her first statement and said that is was mid June so my dad also celebrates his birthday June 15... oh how i miss him... happy birthday tatay!


on the other hand, today is my sistah's birthday she turned 21 today! haayyy! how time passes by.. my little sister is all grown up now, just graduated college and currently looking for her first job. i wish i was home with my mom and her to celebrate... Happy birthday sis! lavya!

A SURPRISE VISIT




surprise! surprise bebe! Last May 30 I paid my husband a surprise visit in Nagasaki. He was totally surprised that I was the one knocking at his front door that morning.. I just missed surprising him just like the old days. I asked my officemate and his boss to help me purchase my overnight bus ticket and at the night of May 29 I'm already on my way. I told my husband that my laptop was broken that's why I wasn't online. It was a 10 hour travel and boy was that exciting!.. wheeeew! I didn't sleep a full minute that night... but after seeing my husband and receiving his bear-tight hug... my sleepless night was all worth it.
We just spent the weekend together, dining out (our fave bonding moment) and catching up on lost times.. one of the best weekends i had! It was a 3-day vacation for me and mi bebe.. and it was a blast!
