I Got it for Free

I was salivating about the STARBUCKS 2008 Planner since December. I planned of earning it by drinking their coffees but the "kurips" in me was so strong. I tried but I failed. Hehehe.

Good thing that my friend chose to have the Jollibee Planner instead of the SB. She gave it to me last Tuesday.I was so lucky and Happy for my 1st ever Starbucks planner. 

My 1st EB for 2008 & Latest LOs

Hubby and I attended SE's FEB EB in Nette's Place. We arrived a little past 1pm....just in time for lunch. Hehehe. It was nice to see old and new faces. Saw two hubbies in the the place but they also left early. Ariel was not able to mingle with them. The demos were conducted by Candy, Cabbie and Donna. Learned a lot from them. I was almost tempted to buy alcohol inks.Well for now... it's still a NO NO. No budget for them. Maybe soon. I hope. My scrap stuffs are already earning dust because I was not scrapping lately.

Anyway... hubby and I were able to start a LO using a sketch from Em (Scrapbyte Feb'08).

I also shopped for some more stuffs:

From MLA & SH: Bazzill CS (brown & black), ATB PPS, MM Paint, Corner Adorner, See D's Stamps
From Liza: UHU Glue

I also got the Crop-a-Dile Pink case thru Cabbie.

Thanks Cabbie for bringing this.

Hmmm.... the best part of the EB was the Raffle and RAK Table.

I got to win the CE LEGACY CRAFTERS DOUBLE DECK SPECTRAFILE. Thanks to Nette for her generosity.

This are the things I got from the RAK table. Thanks to the owners of these stuffs.

Btw, last Sunday, I was able to finish 3 LOs:

This was a WIP since January. Finally...able to complete it

This is the LO that hubby & I started in Nette's Place

This is a 30min LO using the PPS and lace that I got from the RAK table.

Finally.... it's all coming back. Hehehe...

Got a Gift

This morning, I received the gift from Kuya Tonio and Ate Arlene (my friends in the US). They send it thru Kuya Ian who just had a 1 week business trip to US. Kuya Ian informed me yesterday about the "padala" but I was surprised when he handed it to me this morning. I never expected it to be this much.

They had given me a Colorbok Scrapbooking Kit - Berry Happy Line.
The kits includes:

1 Storage Keepsake Box
3 Tabbed Storage Folders
1 Postbound Album
24 PPS
22 Velum Sentiments
376 Punch-outs
667 Stickers
36 Chipboard Pieces
1 Idea Guide

Btw, there is a dedication at the back of the kit which says:
"Belated Merry Christmas & Advance Happy Birthday!"
This is the earliest birthday present I received this year!

Thank you very much. Really appreciate it. God Bless.

Can't wait to use them! Hmmmm... tagal naman ng weekends....

VALENTINES 2008

Happy Valentines to All!!!!

Grabe... I don't know what I feel right now. I'm so tired. Really got so busy with work. Actually, my current YM status says: Grabe and bilis ng oras.... naiwan ako.... Waah.... kakapagod maghabol....HAY.

I feel so tired. Naiiyak nako. Waah!
Anyway.... need to go back to work... need to work more. Huhuhu.

Pre-Valentine Date

After work, Hubby and I met with a friend in Starbucks in Festival Mall. We're suppose to have dinner in Serye because we would like to try their Boneless Crispy Pata. Unfortunately, they were already closed @ 9:30pm. KAINIS!

We just went to CONGGO GRILL in WEST GATE but they are also closed. Waah. I was craving for a Bulalo since yesterdaypero wala kaming makainan. Huhuhu.

There is Leslie's in Alabang but we don't want to eat there because of a bad experience on their service. We're then just left with 3 choices - Mcdo, Chowking and Jollibee. We didn't choose Mcdo because our lunch was also from Mcdo. We don't like Chowking because... we just don't feel like eating their dishes today. We just had our pre-valentine dinner date in Jollibee. I had a palabok Chix Meal while hubby had a 2-pc Burger Steak Meal. While eating, I kept on teasing hubby for a very nice valentine date. Hehehe.

Actually, hubby and I don't really celebrate Valentines ever since we went steady. I don't know why. Maybe because... we normally celebrate our GF/BF and Wedding monthsary. But still.... wanna greet everybody a HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!!!

Having a Hair Loss?

I have a natural wavy hair. This is the reason why I used to go to my favorite salon ever year to get a hair rebond. I had my first treatment 4 years ago and my latest treatment was just last month. I used to have a super black thick hair strands. But since I had my hair treatments, my hair strands changed color and become thinner.

Last month, before I had my hair treatment. I was so afraid of my hair loss. But I learned from surfing that my hair fall is just normal. I don't know of any treatment shampoo so I just tried using baby shampoo for a month. I also searched the web and found about the Provillus. Provillus is a hair loss product. There were a lot of reviews about it. It was on top of the list of hair loss products. According to the reviews this is the best hair loss product available in the market. Also, as per the Provillus reviews, this product works effectively for both male and female. My husband and I will surely try it once we experience severe hair loss.

Lucky or Not with Online Casino

I don't like gambling a lot because I am not lucky at it. However, my husband wins in poker and other card games. He seems to have all the luck which I don't have. He really likes gambling but he doesn't bet a lot.

Online gaming and gambling looks exciting and fun. However, I still don't know if I want to try it out. I will just ask my husband to try it first. I especially would like to try playing the online casino. If we found that hubby is lucky then I would also try it. If I am not lucky then at less we can break even. If we can be both lucky then it would be better.

We chanced upon this online casino link. Their site is so cool and user friendly. They have almost the complete list of online casinos. They have a detailed review for each of them which are very concrete. They listed the online casinos based on their ranking, review, bonuses and payout. We would definitely check on this site before we start our online casino journey.

Sunday - Early Valentines Day

Last Sunday, even lthough hubby was sick, he insisted that we go for a lunch date. We've eaten in Tony Roma's in ATC. It was both our 1st time there. I was able to dine in Tony Roma's in the US way way back 2001. Can't compare anymore. Hehehe. We had two 1/2 slab baby back ribs and soup of the day. Hubby had a coke in can and I had my Strawberry Icetea. We were so full after the BIG Lunch. Hehehe.

Then, hubby went to Nokia. It seems like we have to wait for a long time. He just ask me to go around by myself para di ako mainip. So there I go. I shopped alone but siempre nag-kuripot pa rin. I was to buy the following:

Fashion Necklace - P100 (ATC tiangge)
Black Folder Organizer - P88 (88 store)
HK pouch bag/organizer - P88 (88 store)
Slippers - P80 (Banana Peel)

I don't know why I was so tired. We left ATC early. We just bought Tall Hot Choco and Short Caramel Macchiatto in Starbucks before finally leaving for only P20. Hehehe (with the P200 GC - gift of our director to Ariel).

We got home @ 4pm. Took a nap then attended the 5pm mass. We had an early dinner and we're early to bed. I was really feeling tired by then.

Able to...

We're able to attend a mass for the ASH Wednesday. But we're a little late. After the mass, we had a late lunch in a nearby cafeteria. We ate for only 10mins. Not sure if natunawan ako. hehehe. Pero ok na rin.

ASH Wed

We're supposed to attend a 12nn mass in a Church close to our office. But.. hubby is still in a meeting. What now?

Sometimes... i wonder... what are his priorities? Sometimes.... i am getting disappointed....
hay....

My officemates are asking me to just join them but I still believe in the saying that " A Family that prays together, stays 2gether". This is the reason that I am still waiting... waiting in vain.

In case we can't attend the 12nn mass, we'll just attend the 6pm mass. Hope he'll make room for it.

Whole Day OUTSIDE CAVITE

I am sleepy but I don't feel like sleeping. In just 30mins, we'll be preparing already for our gimiks today. i just thought of blogging.

Just as planned and expected, yesterday was a busy day. We spent the whole day outside CAVITE.

We left home @ 9:15am for the 10am appointment. However, there was a minor traffic in SLEX.We arrived in Greenhills @ 10:15am. Unfortunately, the agent came 20mins later. I was not piss because I am in the a good mood. Our talk was successful. I got all the details and information that we need. We'll just be meeting again next week to finalize everything. We're done talking @ 12nn.

Then... we went shopping. Shopping Galore na naman kami. Hehehe.
Below are the things that we bought:

Polos and Pshirt for Hubby

Blouses, Bolero and Fashion Bracelet for me

Samsung Wireless Optical Mouse for hubby

Bday gift for my cousin

We also bought a polo for Tito Ben's Bday - diko lang nakunan ng pix. Btw, we had our lunch in Yoshinoya. We just love their Beef Misono. We left Greenhills @ 3pm... now going to St. Lukes.

Tito Alfon of Ariel is getting better though they are having problems financially. If only we can help them more. Just praying for them. Also praying that they can soon sell their lots in Cubao and in Tarlac Anybody interested. Just PM me. These are really good buys.

From the hospital, we then go to Sta.Lucia. We're able to see Yellow Violet's House store though I didn't buy anything there. We just bought add'l present for Tito Ben inside the Dept. Store as well as a gift box from Papemelroti. I was also able to buy a red tagged (50% off) Capri from F&H.

Capri Pants with my Fashion Bracelet

Left the place @ 5:45pm. We arrived in Bahay Kawayan @ 6:30pm. No one is there yet. The dinner invitation was 7pm. Atat ba kami? No... we are just prompt and lucky. Lucky that there is no traffic. We thank the Lord that we didn't encounter heavy traffic that day. We don't know why. We are expecting heavy traffic because we know that Saturday is the most Traffic Day of the week.

The Bday celebrant and the other guests started coming @ 6:45pm. Some were really late due to heavy traffic in Floodway. There were lots of Yummy foods. Hubby ate a lot of Pritong Dalag. Wala kasing ganun sa Probinsya namin. Hehehe. Everybody was having fun. The kids were all hyper. The party was over @ 11pm and we got home @ 12mn. However, we're just able to sleep an hour later, we watched "Sine Totoo".

Today... hubby woke up early due to itchy throat. We had an early bfast so he can drink medicine. Now... he's sleeping. He need some rest but... we also have plans today... ayaw naman kasi papigil. Gusto daw nya mag-date kami. Hay. Just hope di sya mabinat and he get well soon.

RECAP: Suuuuubrang Bising Wikend (January 18-20)

Sa sobrang busy ko.. I was not able to post this blog entry... Recap na lang natin. Hehehe.

It started on Friday (0118/08).... after work...
No....not after work...
Few hours after work.... (nag-meeting pa kasi sila)...
We had dinner in our favorite resto... Kuya Ian's Boss Ganai.
It was a treat by Ariel's Counterpart for their group.
And siempre... dakilang sabit ako. Hehehe....
Daming food...the usual...
Garlic Shrimp, Inihaw na Liempo, Steamed Tilapia,
Adobong pusit, Sinigang na Kanduli, Calamares...
But didn't eat a lot because I was so tired...
I am still learning on the other group...
My mind and body are all tired... hehehe
We got home few more minutes before 12mn after some kantahan.
Was so sleepy.... just did some evening rituals before going to bed.

SATURDAY - 01/19/08
Left home @ 10am for my planned hair rebond...
Hubby dropped me off to the salon - Dasma Cavite.
We're supposed to have a lunch date with his counterpart in Silang, Cavite.
His visitor does not want to eat pork so we thought of bringing him to LZM.
Pero.... di na nga ako sumama. Silang 2 na lang nag-lunch.
He just bought me siopao and drinks.
Hubby was back in the salon @ 3pm.
He had footspa and haircut while waiting for me.
My hair was done @ 5pm.
I was hungry that we took some pm snacks in the nearby KFC. Hehehe.
Then... we drove home to get some paper that he needs to give to his counterpart.
Then... drive ulit si hubby... this time going to Vivere Suites.
We fetched his counterpart so that we can go to the condo near Parque Spana. We were invited by another Expat for dinner.
Hay.... kain na naman. Hehehe.
While we are waiting for the other guests, they played cards/poker.

I don't know how to play cards so I just watched TV...hehehe.
Then... after some time... the other guests starts to come.
We started eating....
Once again... there were lots of foods...
Foods that are unknown to me... hehehe...
I don't know if they are Indian or Bangladesh Foods.
So far... they are good..... though new to my tastebuds...
He cooked all those foods...
Chicken in Olive oil....
Vege salad...
Lamb...don't know the name of the dish...with red sauce...
Mash Potato with cauliflower and yellow curry powder...
Rice.... from India....Very Thin and Long grain...
The best thing I had was the.... SB coffee in a bottle.. Hehehe.
After dinner... they played poker again... while me and some of the girls are chatting in the terrace...overlooking Alabang...We can see the French Corner... very clearly..
We went home @ 11pm... of course we still need to drop off Hubby's Friend. Hehehe.
And again... I was so tired...

The worst part was...
I woke up @ the middle of the night...yes... really middle of the night...
at 3pm... my tummy is aching... it seems that I have lots of air in my tummy... I tossed and turned... I could hear my tummy crunching... what's wrong with my tummy...huhuhu... hubby was just sleeping... 'di ko na ginising... I think.. I slept after an hour...


SUNDAY-01/20/08
Woke up @ 7am. We planned to attend a mass in Pasig @ 10am.
Pero di kami umabot. Bumili na lang kami ng Pich-pichi along C5 ext. before proceeding to my SIL/BIL's dental clinic. We waited until all their patients are gone before we go and have lunch in Jayjay's in Ortigas.
They discussed some matters about their family assets. I just listen coz I know I don't have any right about it. I just know where I stand.

At 2pm, after lunch, we met with a friend in Galleria to give some things. Then we drove her off back to her office.

Then... drive ulit... this time... to QC..we visited Mitch Sy's Store to pick up the items I bought online. Also got to buy some new stuffs. Hehehe.


Lagot... wala na naman sa budget ko ito.

Then... we drove again.... now going to Mayon to visit Hubby's Tito Augusto. We're not able to visit them last Xmas & New Year due to hectic schedule. We're also able to give the gifts to his nephews. Did some chatting with her aunt. We're not able to see his uncle because he was sleeping. We left their place passed 6pm.

Then.... we got a problem... di pa kami nakasimba.. We don't know where we can attend a mass. We just decided to drive to the church near MOA. Bahala na!

Buti na lang.... we're just in time... the mass is just getting started.. the priest is just marching going to the altar. Hay....thanks to GOD, everything was in place even though we are so tired.

After the mass, ayoko na sana mag MOA kasi pagod nako. But hubby insisted that we have a dinner date because... it was our BF/GF monthsary that day and the day before that was our wedding monthsary hehehe. I was not in the mood to eat because my tummy is still not feeling well. Pero... nagpapilit na din ako. Hehehe.

We ate in Don Hen... it was our 1st time to eat there... the two of us.
Never thought that their serving is that huge. We ordered a lot.
We were laughing all the way, when all our orders came. Hehehe.
We had...10inch DH pizza, Chicken Pesto, Calzone, Mozarella Cheese sticks and bottomless green IT.Wow... it was really a lot.
We thoughts that the Calzone is just like the size of Sbarro but it was doubled. The mozarella is not a stick.. it was like a 4-PC big sized nugget.
We're not able to finish them all.. we just brought them home. Hehehe. On our way home... we are still laughing and giggling kahit.... masama na pakiramdam namin.

Again... we are so tired that after the everning rituals... we slept... there's a whole week work ahead of us....

Do you need a Small Business Loan?

I got a friend who plans to put up a business. She wanted to have me as her partner. We already planned of how the business will be. We already know where to get our capital. We will share the same amount to start our business.

Last year, I was so sure where to get my funds. I thought we will not be needing a small business loan. But everything changed at the start of this year. Our company stocks went down. Peso got stronger. Market went down. Recession is starting. I don't know where the market is going now.

My forecasted stock sale proceeds is now reduced by more than a half. If we will be pursuing our plans, I think I need to get a small business loan. Right now I still don't know where to go. I tried searching the net and found about AFSloan. I think they have the best offer in town because they offer small business loan without any application fee and hidden charges. Unfortunately, they don't offer these kind of loan in the Philippines. Do you have any recommendation for small business loan provider?
