my latest works...

have been very busy for the past few weeks because of my bday party, house warming, work, ariel's another travel to taiwan and others. it's only today that i was able to do more LOs for our prenup album.

here's a glimpse of my accomplishments today:


i love the way u smile at me


dreaming together


love u 4-ever


2 become 1

ito din yung natapos ko few weeks back, i just can't remember the date. di ko lang sya na-blog dahil busy talaga.


i wanna be with u


thank u

hay... kelan kaya ito madadagdagan?

Yipee!...malapit na...

we were not lucky on one of our major suppliers for our wedding. we got a " no worry" supplier "DAW" but he just gave us a lot of worries even after the wedding. you can check my suppliers rating for details.

until now we don't have our wedding album kasi ayaw gawin nung subcon- supplier dahil di pa daw sya binabayaran nung "coordinator" namin. tas yung gagawin nya is di pa yung napag-usapan namin ni coordinator. Hay.

kaya we decided na lang to look for an album maker. good to know Leth, from n@w. she did the layouts and her works are really good. finally she completed the LOs. and we're expecting the album by october. See her LOs in this site.

by the way... here's a view of our cover page.




yipee.. malapit na kami magka-album and just in time for hubby's bday on 10/20.

Another Lonely Nights

It will be my 2nd night without Ariel.. Again. Our company sent him to Taiwan for 2 weeks.... again. Urgent lang daw talaga issue nila.

Hay... malungkot na naman. Driving alone na naman. miss ko talaga hubby ko.

Kahapon lang sya umalis. medyo nagkatampuhan pa kami last friday. kasi naiinis ako dahil masyadong maaga yung kinuha nyang flight for saturday. Our company usually use EVA air going to Taiwan which leaves Phil at 11:40am but he insisted to use PAL (leaves Phil at 7am) dahil need daw nya to be early in our Subcon. Eh saturday kaya yun dapat rest muna yun.

Anyway, wala na naman kami magagawa kaya kahit friday night lang us nag-ayos ng gamit nya at napuyat pa kami, maaga pa rin kaming gumising ng saturday morning. I woke him up at 3:30am. We need to leave our house by 4:30 to be in Centenial Airport at 5:30.

So nakaalis nga kami ng 4:30. kasama sa plan namin yung pagpunta sa jollibee sa may amin to buy chicken joy para sa mga friends nya dun sa taiwan. yun daw bilin sa kanya. We thought na 24H yung branch samin pero di pala. lumagpas pa kami kasi walang ilaw yung store.

ibang route din dinaanan namin and dahil madilim pa, lagpas ulit kami.. hehehe. but we're still thankful na umabot kami ng 5:30 sa airport. so konting paalaman lang and leave na din ako kasi bawal magtagal sa unloading area. And kahit malungkot ako, siempre di ako umiyak. bka di na umalis yun at masisi pako. hehehe.

hay.... besides the challenge of being without ariel for 2 weeks, another challenge for me is how to go back to cavite from the airport. diko pa nasubukan yun eh. pero i was still lucky that me and my bro was able to go back to our place safe and sound. buti na lan din na medyo maliwanag na that time kaya madali na din para sakin mag-drive.

at dahil, di ako sanay gumising ng maaga pag saturday, natulog ako ulit. then mga 10am gising na me to prepare bfast for me & popoy. then dami ko ginawa...

a. pinatingin gulong sa vulcanizing shop kasi lumalambot sya eh kakapa-vulcanize lang ni ariel last saturday. buti na lang wala daw butas. pinahanginan na lang.

b. Car Wash

c. SM Molino- bought things needed by popoy for his projects and my scrapbook things, popoy's haircut, bought shades sa fly wear (nawala kasi yung shades ko, DKNY pa naman yun na binili ko sa US,huhuhu, di ko pa naman kaya bumili ng ganung kamahal na shades dito sa pinas,nanghihinayang ako pag thousands na usapan compared sa less than $100. hehehe), had our lunch pizza volcano lunch in pizzahut and do some grocery.

mga 4pm, house na kami ulit. idlip ako konti then mga 5pm, di na ko makatulog kaya surf na me para sa assignments ni popoy (laboratory apparatus).

6:30, alis ulit sa house and returned the empty bottles of San Mig Light and Red Horse that we had last july 15 sa store.

7-8am, we attended an anticipated mass. Another challenge was a U-turn that i need to do going back home. hay... i made it kahit mabagal.

dinner ng natirang pizza tsaka graham refrigerated cake that i made last thursday.

then completed popoy's project. print ko na din. mga 11pm slip na din ako.

hay...that was my saturday, my 1st day without ariel, now is my 2nd night. and there will be 11 more....

Eve of July 15 & my 2nd C5 and SLEX Adventure

Got very busy with work and didn't find time to blog about the party we had last saturday (july15). as i've mentioned on my previous post, it was my post bday celebration and our house warming. it was a success. we had fun kahit sobrang pagod kami esp. ariel who kept on driving to and from the clubhouse to our house to get some things. we had the dinner in the clubhouse because of frequent rainshowers. buti na lang nung gabi, tumigil na sya.

friday pa lang pagod na kami. halfday lang us sa office. went to sm dasma to buy some stuffs. chance upon "our home" and bought besheets and curtains. also bought some table cover, light bulb and alarm clock from sm dept store. grabe shopping galore na naman ako. thanks to our company's ESPP (employees stock purchase plan- we are saving money and able to use it without felling much the salary deductions. may risk nga lang pag mababa ang stocks).

from sm, we drove to the laundry shop to drop our clothes then we looked for the place where we could borrow a Karaoke machine, tent and some chairs and tables. we agreed with the owner and give them the time for the party.

when we reach our home, got a phonecall from my boss and he's asking me to send him some data before 4pm. what?!!! 3:45pm na kaya. I'm trying to reach my engrs but was not successful. thanks to our smart wifi at home and i was able to do it myself (buti na lang alam ko din details) and able to meet the deadline. my boss just called me to fix some cosmetic parts of the chart i sent him.

so by 420pm we're already heading to cubao via SLEX. got there at around 6pm. ariel gave the "PooH" CDs which he just bought to his niece who just got out of the hospital because of gastro. we waited for his ate until 7pm. we ate dinner in his sisters house.

then... my great adventure begins. ariel borrowed "his" van from his ate. i drove our chinchin. convoy kami going to our place. sinundo lang namin family ko then back to cavite na kami.

whew... my 2nd C5 and SLEX adventure was really something. always getting a ring from hubby because of my carelessness "daw". hmmp!

anyway... nakaka-kaba na masaya.naiinis nga lang ako sa frequest calls nya. pagdating sa house, kabit ko na new curtain ko. ganda! then my dad fixed the blinds that i broke last tuesday (on the bday). tulog na din kami aga kasi aga pa rin us gigising for the next day. but too bad na di rin kami nakatulog ng maaga ni ariel kasi nagtatawanan kami about my slex adventure..
- galing ko daw sa C5 u-turn, tumigil yung katabi ko kasi wala daw ako pakundangan.
- di daw ako signal when going left or right. kala ko kasi di na need pag convoy kasi nasa likod naman sya.
- iniwan ko sya sa SLEX. i was driving more than 80km/H and the lite ice can only do 80km/H max (puno pa sila kaya medyo mabagal). tinawagan nya ko to tell me to slow down. kala daw ng parents ko galit ako. kasi ang bilis ko. hehehe.
- may ginagawa palang lane going south, eh gabi na yun..diko nakita kaya biglang laglag ako.. nakita nya ko kaya nakaiwas sya.
- but there was also a 2 x 2 ft hole which the two of our was not able to avoid. tawanan ulit kami.
- sa daang hari... para daw akong lasing kasi cant follow my lane. .pagod na siguro ako. reasonsssssss

hay... funny.... experience..

just be posting my party wento...on my next blog entry..

11th of July

we didn't plan anything for my bday kasi nga we will be celebrating it on saturday. i woke up at 4pm with a kiss from hubby then tulog ulit kami. puyat din kasi sya that night.

anyway, i just don't know what's wrong with me that day coz i was in a bad mood.

then before leaving the house, i asked ariel to close all windows sa baba kasi baka umulan at magbaha sa loob ng house namin. i was so disappointed when i saw na di pa nya na-close yung windows sa kitchen. So sinarado ko sya then tried to close the blinds as well. Waah!!!!! nahulog yung blinds then tumama dun sa kawali na binabaran nya ng tubig. Hay.... kasi sinabi ko na sa kanya na close nya yun eh.

i blamed him for that kasi nga, kung na-close nya yun, eh di sana, di ako ang nag-close tas di rin masisira yung blinds. hay.. the whole day, masama timpla ko tas lunch ...kumain lang us sa tapsihan with his group. nung gabi, we tried to look for an open church but too bad na sarado mga church dito that time. Nag-take out na lang sya sa favorite chinese resto namin for our dinner kasi wala kasama si popoy sa house. Grabe, super dami nya bili...
a. yang chow fried rice
b. seafoods with bird's nest soup
c. tausi chicken feet
d. white chicken
e. chopseuy crispy noodles
f. tausi fish fillet

and here they are:


grabe...nagutom ulit ako. anyway, next time na lang yung saturday party wento and pictures.. super busy pa eh..

Getting to Know me More

Got this thursday Q's from N@W few weeks or months ago but was not able to finish it on time due to my heavy workload. And so I just decided to post it here ...

I AM

I HAVE
a tendency to be an impulsive buyer

I WISH
i could just shop or rest and sleep all day

I HATE
people who talk behind my back

I MISS
my life when i was still a student.

I FEAR
of gaining weight.


I LOVE
my husband and family very much.

I AM NOT
hard to please.

I DANCE
a lot when I was still young because I have time to do so.

I SING
just for fun. I am not a good singer.

I CRY
when i am mad.

I WRITE
when i'm down, sad, happy or when i just feel like writing...

I SHOULD
be counting my blessings.

bday ko ngayon....

bday ko ngayon pero may sumpong ako. diko alam kung bkt.. hay.. madali ako mainis.. Anyway, sa saturday pa celebration. We'll be having a munting salo-salo sa clubhouse ng subdivision namin. it will be a 2 celebration in 1. my bday and our house warming.

dapat sa house na lang namin. kaso masyado masikip for more than 50 guests. we are also thinking of the weather. di kasi predictable weather ngayon eh. at least safer sa clubhouse. malapit lang namin kami dun kaya i can just bring our guests to our house if they would like to see it. tsaka 4pm-10pm lang reservation namin dun kaya by night sa house na din kami. My dad will try to set-up the "trapal' in case umulan.

hay.. kaka-stress din mag-prepare pero exciting din. buti na lang my mom offered to cook my spag and do the buko pandan. Ariel's ate will be preparing the steamed tilapia, lumpiang shanghai and inihaw na liempo. Ninang Fely (ninang namin sa kasal) will be bringing pichipichi and pork/beef caldereta. And kami... will be buying the drinks and other things needed for the party.

last night, bumili na kami ng paper plates, platic cups, spoon and fork pati serving spoons, tong, tissue for the restroom, table tissue and restroom freshner. we also bought a grill for the inihaw. we're supposed to buy softdrinks na but walang 2L drinks sa SM Molino. We'll try in Emilu's (one supermarket near our place). Pag wala pa rin 1.5L na lang din bibilhin namin. We are also still thinking if we'll be buying SMB or RED horse. What do you suggest? I don't know what's better kasi I'm not a beer drinker. Tequila pa.. pwede. Hehehe. Kaso masyado sya mahal.

hay.. i still need to shop for some ka-artehan like..curtains, table cloth, etc. San ba maganda bumili? kaka-excite na ah pero kaka-stress din..

basta.. before anything else... i want to thank the Lord for the years that past and the years that i am looking forward to...

btw.. ito pala link to my last years' bday madness and kung bakit ako maghahanda...

di na mapigilan

di na talaga mapigilan addiction ko sa scrapbooking. kahit medyo limited budget kme kahapon, i did shopped for my scrapbooking materials. good thing lang na suportado ako ni hubby. hahaha. wala naman syang choice eh.

buti na lang maaga kami nakauwi and just bought the half chiken promo of Max for dinner. not bad ha?! half spring chix is being sold for P99. we bought 2 half chicken kasi mahal na pag whole eh. hehehe

so just after our dinner, i just washed the dishes and started working on my scrapbook. able to finished 2 LOs. bad thing nga lang sa sobrang excitement ko is nakalimutan kong mag-PEG for our stocks. We're supposed to sell some of our stocks for the tuition of my beloved sister who's taking up nursing. Patay... di na aabot sa midterm yung need kong cash. hanap na lang akong paraan... hay..

so back to the topic. ito na po ang aking bagong works from last night...

can do everything with you


for all of my life

Addict

after i started my 1st scrapbook, parang diko na matigilan mag-scrap. every night na lang feel kong may matapos ng L.O. I am not as good as many other scrapbookers out there but i am proud to see the improvements on my work.

wala namang pressure na matapos ko yung album pero nakaka-addict din lang talaga. gusto ko rin sanang matapos yung album before our house warming on july 15 pero not sure if i can make it. i still need to invest more on embellishments and papers.

anyway, here are the L.O. I completed last monday:

edited version of my 1st L.O.


i feel glad when ur glad


ito naman yung mga natapos ko kagabi....

dreaming about you & me


you r the sunshine of my life


could not ask for more


hay...kakapagod din gumawa pero fulfilling...

the return...

after more than 3 months..nakanuod us ulit ni ariel ng sine. Care-of pa ng company namin. instead of sponsoring a summer outing. namigay na lang ng 2 movie passes and P200 food gift check.wag ng magtaas ng kilay...i know the food check was not enough for 2. hehehe. ok na din naman kesa wala.

buti na lang premiere yung movie pass kaya di na kami nagdagdag and just bought another ticket for popoy. yung 2 movie passes ko kasi is binigay ko kay dadi nung father's day kasama yung P200 na food gift check.

nag-lunch muna us sa kenny rogers... miss ko na ksi baby back ribs... it was good but not as tender as before. not sure if sa branch lang ng SM southmall ganun. anyway..it was a good lunch...

1pm start nung show..diko masyado maintindihan kaya panay tanong ko kay ariel. diko kasi napanuod yung superman 1-3. hehehe. ok naman yung movie effects but medyo bitin yung story..mukhang may susunod pa... i'm looking forward to it na...kasi.... ang gwapo ni superman... hahaha! pero siempre... i love my very own husband.. sya pa rin pinakagwapo sa kin. ;-).

the day i started...

yesterday, ariel went to the office kahit restday namin kasi madami daw silang issue. his manager requested him to go. i just cooked some bfast then mga 9am alis na sya. i just did some laundry ( undies and curtains) and cleaned the house. tinamad nako luto for lunch kaya salted egg lang kain namin ni popoy. ok naman kasi favorite ko salted egg kahit di kumakain si ariel nun.

mga 2pm tapos na me linis ng house then niyaya ko nuod popoy ng dvd... the lucky ones. hehehe. ok naman sya kahit yung ibang part is korny. ganun naman mga tagalag na comedy films eh. but in fairness...medyo gumagaling na din filipino in terms of doing movies.. magaling na din mga effects nila but not in this movie. hehehe.

mga 4pm, wala nako magawa kaya naisipan ko start yung scrapbook album ko na matagal ko na binili. i was planning to do our prenup pictures pero lagi ko na lang napro-procrastinate. kahit kulang ako sa gamit and dont know where to start. .... nag- start pa rin ako. i just used the materials i have and used old magazines. not much satisfied with my work pero i think pwede na din for a starter. tama bang magbuhat ng sariling bangko?!. anyway... ito pa lang natapos ko... sumakit likod ko dyan ha? kaya walang magrereklamo... i did that for almost 4 hrs...

pasensya na lang po sa resolution... nasa sis ko kasi digicam namin eh. hiniram for their outing...

this is the album i bought from papelmelroti

a long day...

friday was a busy day for us. we woke up at 3:30am. dahil 5am daw dadalhin tarlac yung lola ni ariel for the burial. i was also trying to close my project that day as per request of my director from U.S. just got the email that morning.

buti na lang may "we roam" yung manager ko and was able to borrow it kaya habang drive si ariel to manila. i was doing some work. too bad nga lang na na-low bat ako.
buti na lang din na di kami agad umalis sa funeral chapel kaya naka-pag charge pa me.

may nangyari pang kaguluhan that morning sa funeral. ariel's uncle just found out the death of his mother the night before the burial and insisted to see his mother that morning. his uncle was paralyzed due to heart stroke. everybody was concerned of his condition when he arrived in the chapel. every move, they are taking his B.P. buti na lang, normal lagi. too bad nga lang na yung wife nya and na-hi blood. her BP got up to 200/130. siguro dahil sa pagod and worry of her husband's condition. kaya biglang naiba na naman plano. may mauuna na sa tarlac then hatid muna namin sa house si auntie tess. buti naman na at 7am ok na condition nya. her BP got normal and umalis na din us to tarlac. that time also, natapos ko na din yung work ko na need ko i-upload sa memosystem. hay...

naabutan pa namin sila going to church. naka-130km/h kasi kami sa NLEX. we are riding the pajero of ariel's BIL. we attended the mass then headed to the cemetery. everything went smoothly. nawala nga lang ibang seremonyas dahil sumama din tito ni ariel.

nag-lunch kami sa tito ni ariel na ninong namin sa kasal. laki ng lupa nila. mga 4000m2 ata yun. parang sarap mag-stay. laking maynila kasi ako eh kaya never experience country life. wala kasi kami masyado kamag-anak sa province. province lang namin na usually pinupuntahan are bulacan and tanay.

after lunch and while resting, ayos ni ariel computer ni uncle butch para bumilis. dami kasi applications kaya daw mabagal.

mga 2pm alis na din us. 4:45pm nasa cubao na us. nag-early dinner us sa teriyaki boy. 1st time namin pareho ni ariel. treat ng ate nya. ok naman foods pero di namin masyado type kasi mamantika sila. pero ok naman. we are supposed to have a Dairy Queen dessert but ariel's niece was having tantrums as per phonecall of her yaya. napangakuan kasi ng jollibee tas iniwan namin sa house. bigla tuloy kami napabalik sa house nila. sama pa sana kami sa jollibee kasi the child wants us to go pero napakiusapan ng mommy nya na di na kami sama kasi layo pa house namin and we need to rest na. buti pumayag din.

so mga 930pm nasa cavite na us. sobrang pagod na us kaya shower lang (tradisyon din daw na need mag-shower after attending a burial) us then tulog na.

it was a long...long day..
