Ariel & Ariel

We left early from the SE EB to meet with Ariel's best friend - Ariel
AKA "Manok". Yes, they have the same name but they have different
personalities. Manok is outgoing while my Ariel is quiet. However, they
enjoy the company of each other. Maybe becuase the other compliments the
weakness of the other.

I enjoyed being with them. We 1st met in Glorietta (Got Lost - Promdi na
kasi kami. Dami palang Time Zone doon). We finally decided to meet in
Jollibee. Some chicka-chicka in Starbucks. At 440pm, we decided to go to
Greenhills to have Ariel's OLD Phone repaired (php300) . Went to Virramall. It is
nice and clean but there are less things to see - mostly electronic
gadgets. We ate some mirienda again in the food court - Waffle and Squid
Rolls. Did some window shopping. Naghiwalay lang kami @ 7:30pm. Manok
have other appoinments.

Was happy to see hubby meeting with his college friends. i know he
missed them. They are actually 4 in the barkada but he's more close to
Manok. Finally, they were able to meet. Ariel arrived 1st week of April
but not able to meet immediately due conflicts. Nyway, FRIENDS will
always be FRIENDS.

Btw, this picture was taken when Manok had a vacation last August '06.

hubby's new baby

Ariel's N3660 broke down last Thursday afternoon. The initial symptom was seen Wednesday afternoon. A "System Error" appeared when he received a message. He then can't view & send SMS. But he can still call and be called. We could not even charge it.Then we decided to get a new one from our coop since we don't have cash to spare. We're saving for my
sister's tuition fee. The price is not bad. 22.7K cash or 1.1K per payday for 1 year.

Got the unit Friday afternoon. was happy to see hubby's excitement. it was not his choice. he doesn't have any preference that's why i pick it for him and was happy that he likes it.

SE April EB

Attended the SE EB last Saturday. Planned to scrap but was not able to do even a single LO because Ariel need to meet with his best friend who just came home from his 5 year contract in Fujitsu, Japan. Just did some shopping, wentu-wento, ate lunch and watch the demos. Was happy coz I was able work on my budget. I just spend 1088 (300 food contribution already included).

By the way, enjoyed talking with Jeannie, Vangie and Mel. Also enjoyed the Demos done by Honey on the Monogram and Phylline on the altered tin Can. Joanne also demo'd how to dry emboss and the techniques she used on her latest LO (Family).

Well... Looking forward on using the techniques learned from the demos and of course the Scrapfest... Oops... i still owe Ria an article for the scrapbytes and I still need to create a LO for the April Challenge. Still lots of things to do.

2nd Year Wedding Anniversary

It was so unfortunate, I was sicked on our 2nd Year Wedding Anniversary. We planned for a day-off but due to some important/urgent things that needs to be done in the office, we have to go to work.

but not for me. i had a terrible headache. had migraine. maybe this was caused by the temp cycle that i got last wikend. Cavite-Manila-Baguio-Manila-Cavite. waah.

all i did was sleep. supposed to get up to go to SM to buy something for Ariel but my headache really sent me to bed. good thing is that my mom is at our home. she cooked bfast and lunch for me. but she left at noon.

Ariel went home @ 8pm. I thought he has nothing for me. he just showed my 2 Chiffon Bread from Goldilocks. I was also disappointed because he was not able to buy the sanitaty napkin that i asked him to buy (had my Period sunday before leaving Baguio- was very disappointed. we're trying to conceive).

I went to the restroom and when i came out, he gave me a dozen roses and a round cake. it was so sweet of him. felt guilty, had nothing for him.
we blew the cake, had some dinner (tinola that was cooked by my mom) and the rest is history.

Happy Anniversary to us. Bawi na lang ako next time! Love you Veve!
