Ho ho howdy, christmas in the country!

That was the theme of our company christmas party that was held last Dec 22 at the Makati Sports Club...kwento to follow


Wii night

It's my first time to play the game and I'm so happy I won and became the overall champion! Our korean ofcmate invited us to have dinner and play wii at their condo in Pioneer Highlands. We thought we will not be able to make it since it was a friday night and traffic was just tremendous...When we arrived at their place, feeling ko, di ko na kaya. Sobrang pagod sa byahe from makati to mandaluyong. We left the ofc at 6:30 and arrived at her place around 8pm. We just had pasta, pizza and salad for dinner. Around 9pm, it's time to play! We were divided into 2 teams for the bowling match and our team won! clap,clap,clap...most of us were able to hit strike...galing! The second game was boxing were we all played individually. Sobrang sakit sa arms after the game but sulit because I won and I think I was able to do some exercise for my arms.hehehehe...




Christmas Parties...everywhere!

It's the most wonderful time of the year...christmas parties are really everywhere! We had our team's own party last Dec 11 and oh boy, it was fun,fun,fun!!! The games were so hilarious...We even had our own version of hep,hep, hooray! and of course the kapuso channel's pinoy henyo. Our team, lost...sad.sad.sad...but the party was just so fun, we enjoyed it to the max...here are some pics...

Moving in

As what I've mentioned in my last post, we thought we can move in before end of Nov. I didn't realize that it will took some more time (and more money!)to complete all the finishing touches for the house. I'm happy to say that we will finally be able to move between Dec 13-14. Though, there will still be some fix that needs to be done, we are ready! I'll post some pics soon.

House Construction

Ferdie and I are so exhausted but also excited since we started building our house...It all started in Aug 11, 2008 and until now, it's not complete yet. Hopefully, it will be completed by end of Nov so we can already spend our christmas in our new home! Yipee!!! The exhausting part is the expenses since the materials are so expensive!!! haay!!! Now, I'm thinking twice before buying a coffee from Starbucks. Pambili na rin ng bakal and semento yung coffee addiction ko...hehehehe!

I'm back!

hi fellow bloggers! I'm finally back...There's just so many things that I attended to the past months so I was not able to blog...

Not in shape

This past few days, I'm not really feeling well. Ferdie told me to rest since he noticed that I'm always complaining of back pains, headache, etc. He even teased me and said "matanda ka na kasi". haay! I really have to find time to take care of myself. I badly needed a massage...taking vitamins is not enough. I'm now on the look out for a relaxing spa. Any suggestions?

back again

It's been awhile since my last post. 2 weeks, I think. I got stuck with a lot of things to do in the office. Well, what else is knew. My husband is getting used to it. There are times that I feel so guilty bec I am so glued at my work that I don't really have time to cook for my husband. The past week, we just ate out after work since I'm so tired I told him I don't have the energy to cook...haay! this is life!

Survived!

The LA Lakers survived another game against the Boston Celtics winning game 5 at the Staples Center. It was a heart pumping game since the Lakers were leading by 21 pts in the 1st half then all of a sudden, the lead was just cut into 2 until the beginning of the 4th quarter. Good thing the lakers, led by Kobe did a great job holding on to their lead. Game 6 will be at Boston were the Lakers will need another win to even out the series. Go, go, go lakers!!!

a friend's wedding

A good friend and former ofcmate Gwen, got married yesterday to Marc. The ceremony and reception was held at the Conservatory, Manila Peninsula. The bride was so radiant in her all white gown while the groom was so dashing in his barong. The ambiance was simply elegant. It was pure white from table linens, to flowers to cake, give aways, everything! We had fun! We felt the love the couple have for each other...To Marc and Gwen, a toast to a happy and blissful marriage!!!

Here are some pics...

who's gonna win?

Ferdie and I are so excited to know who's gonna make it in the nba finals! we are rooting for the LA lakers...Kobe is amazing!!! The guy is really, really good - effortless!

Let's see what will happen.

mocha frap

I am becoming to be a real coffee addict...What's with mocha frap ba? Super sarap for me...in a week, tipong almost everyday ako bumibili...naku, alam ko bad ang too much caffeine esp that I'm preparing myself to be healthy before becoming pregnant...Isa, it's fattening. Buti na lang, meron na ko conviction ngayon na mag exercise every sat..mahirap lang gumising kce sarap matulog...aga pa naman ng aero class namin...pero fulfilling...feeling ko, gumagaan pakiramdam ko. Will power and determination talaga ang kailangan ko. I know I can do it! NakS!!!

Negative

I was so frustated last week. I thought we are on the way but NOT! I was already 1 week delayed but on the morning that I decided to have a preg test, my monthly visitor came...waah!!!

Syempre, to the rescue naman si Ferdie to comfort me...sabi niya, our time will surely come. I trust the one above that we will soon have our own bundle of joy.

the month that was

I just noticed that it's been almost a month since I last updated my blog...haay! Just realized how busy I was for the past weeks. Anyways, it was really one hectic month for me. Attending conference calls almost eeveryday, answering queries raised by the auditors, etc, etc.

I promised myself that I'll be updating my blog at least once every week...goodluck to me!!!

Sadness! My monthly visitor just arrived this morning. Never talaga nag miss! Hay, I felt sad talaga kce wala pa din. Pero si Ferdie naman laging nandyan to comfort me. Sabi niya, our blessing will come in the right time...think positive! I am really keen on seeing an OB after my period. I also need to start losing weight.

Simplify and create abundance

A very dear friend and officemate, Mayeth gave me a book written by Bo Sanchez. I just started reading it and I'm so inspired by his stories. It's full of humor and wisdom. The book teaches us:

1) How to live in first class wherever you are
2) How to be happy without money so that when money arrives, you'll even be happier
3) How to attract money, but the kind of money that can make you holy.
4) How to defeat the "giants in your mind" that prevent you from entering into your Promised Land.

Thanks again Mayeth for this wonderful birthday gift!!!

Happy birthday to me! Yes, March 9 is my bday but since it fall on a sunday, we decided na sat na lang yung celebration. I'm so happy because almost all my relatives from my father side were there! We had videoke until 2am grabe! Sobrang saya ko! I was touched by their presence esp during the time that all sang the bday song and all are wishing na magkaroon na kami ng baby. That was really my ultimate wish!

Thanks to my family and relatives for coming and kay hubby since he was the one who cooked. I love you so much Honeybunch!!!!

More DIY bracelets

Here are my husband's latest creations...all for me! I'll also post the earrings he made for me.




DIY

I finally had the time to post and share some of my husband's DIY. It all started when I joined w@w and got inspired with all the beautiful DIY stuffs that my fellow co-w@wies were doing. I asked Ferdie if we can also make bracelets to be given to our ninangs and female entourage, buti na lang he also liked the idea.

At first, mahirap din kce we don't know how to do it pero si Ferdie talaga, persistent na makagawa! I'm so lucky na mahilig siya. Not all men will do the same thing esp kung bracelets..huh! di naman ako nagduda sa kanya...hehehe!

After doing the bracelets, he also tried other things like yung cord namin, headpiece, earrings and necklace. Super happy kami sa outcome!

Thanks honey! I'm so proud of you...love you!

Cuff bracelet for me

I am sharing some of our pics...






Dagupan, este Baguio adventure!

Ferdie and I, along with my Papa, Mama and Tita Ams all went to Baguio last friday night. We decided to leave the house at around 9pm just to be there at the Cubao Terminal of Victory Liner before 11pm. We have no reservations pero I did not expected na super, as in super dami ng tao sa terminal when we arrived. Haaayyy!

I can't seem to find the line para makakuha ng tickets. Si Mama, high blood na kce di daw ako agad nagpa reserve, eh wala ng trip that night! We were advised na 8:30am na yung next trip. Oh boy! What are we gonna do??? Buti na lang I heard the couple in front of me that they will just take the Dagupan trip which will leave at 12mn and just transfer from there. I told Ferdie, ganun na lang din gawin namin. Buti na lang nag agree si Mama and Papa. Bahala na kung ano yung sasakyan namin pagdating ng Dagupan.

We left the terminal at exactly 12mn and arrived at Dagupan mga 4:30 am. When we arrived, I immediately asked the driver kung meron trip going to Baguio. Meron pero ordinary so no aircon! naku, paano yun?

Since wala ng choice and the bus will be leaving na rin in 5mins, game na, sakay na kami!

Around 7am nasa Baguio na kami! The good thing is we were able to arrive before the parade started at 8:15am.

Moral lesson: mag pa reserve lalo na pag Panagbenga Festival.


Papa and Mama


Ferdie and Me


Tita Ams

Busy!

I hardly have the time to blog this past few weeks. Super busy with work and also attending to our family business. Buti na lang special holiday tom so I will have more time for myself and Ferdie.

Kakapagod din kce we just came back from Baguio last night. Haay! I'll post my kwento and pics in my next blog.

a Chinese wedding

Last Jan 27, one of my college barkada, Riza tied the knot with Jeff. The ceremony was held at the San Sebastian church and the sumptous dinner was at Emerald Garden in Roxas Blvd. The bride and her entourage wore gowns by Leaonard Co. Congrats to Jeff and best wishes to Riza. May you have a blissful marriage!
