candy corner..

one thing i love most is eating candies, and chocolates and more candies. chocolate is a given. almost everybody loves eating them. but candies..i don't think so. i so like them, from the hardest jawbreaker, to the most sour skittles. i especially love those gummy candies. from the sour gummy bears to to the sweetest gummy candy. for hard candies, my all time faves are Runts, Nerds, and Gobstoppers. i like the heart-shaped and banana-shaped runts. for nerds, i like their nerds rope and the watermelon flavored nerds. i love how gobstoppers changed their colors while inside your mouth. last night, me, peejay and his mom and dad went to the mall to buy more gifts for baby aloumi and for her kuya giro, as well as a gift for lea's baby ayanna's christening this sunday. we were able to buy the gifts but not for kuya giro because we still have to decide to get whether the fooseball set or the remote controlled bob the builder truck. so after shopping, we ate at kenny rogers for dinner. we ordered their group meal and i added their philly steak sandwich. the sandwich was delish i think it would go well with the smoothies they are now serving. haven't tried their smoothies yet. oh, and i also bought a couple of sambos and a couple of sylvanas from brownies. i placed them in the freezer and i think it's still there. hehe.. forgot to bring it to work today. i couldn't resist not buying candies, so i went to candy corner and i mixed together runts, and these cute baby pacifier candies. pj's mom and me kept eating the candies all the way home. she didn't like the pacifier candies so she ate the runts candies and now i'm eating these pacifier candies. i like the red and blue colored pacifiers. i think they taste wonderful.

gerald and beng's wedding..

finally...i am posting my pictures of gerald's and beng's wedding last december 7 (haaay! grabe, ang tagal!).
the wedding was supposed to start at 2pm, but it was pacquiao day. hehe..so, mejo late nag start wedding. around 3:30 or 4pm, i think. the ceremony was solemn, although the priest was breaking the monotony every now and then by speaking in filipino, which was nice.
beng walked down the aisle while ghe was singing, while waiting for her at the altar (aaawww! ang romantic! kinikilig ako). everything was great. pati yung weather (ghe, lakas mo talaga kay Lord!). i'm a witness, ghe has been praying for nice weather on their wedding since the day he told us they're gonna get married in december.

ghe with their anak anakan james..

beng, walking down the aisle..

little zaza is the flower girl..

pero, si mommy yung naglakad and nagkalat ng flowers sa aisle..hehe..

pati si tyler, kasama si mommy naglakad sa aisle, but he held his pillow while walking with mommy.

the bridesmaids..bee and me (wow! danda! parang artista lang oh!)

eto pang isang artista oh! manette joined us for more pictures..

congressmen peejay and donell



walking down the aisle..

ghe with his parents..

beng with her parents..


bee and her partner (left), donell and his partner (right)..

at shempre, (ahem, ahem!) peejay and me.. *wink!*

after the ceremony, we ate great food. we ate just outside the church. they served garden salad, lengua, fish steak (tuna, i think), pork with tomato sauce (i don't know the exact name), and fruit salad for dessert. they also had a chocolate fountain. unfortunately, i wasn't able to take a picture of any of the foods they served because we were famished!

hehe...I CAUGHT THE BOUQUET!

and peejay...HE CAUGHT THE GARTER!!!

higher! higher!

other pics (thanks manet, bee, coach marie, and ana for the pics! hehe..sorry, i had to grab some of your pics..)

neopets

i'm so full. peejay and i just had breakfast. we bought the food from bancheto. i had sisig with rice and peejay bought spicy tapa for himself. we ate in the pantry kase may pulis pangkalawakan na umiikot sa floor e (weeeh...epal!). i was so full i still couldn't sit up straight!

anyhoo, i have a new addiction. actually, i'm a repeat offender (hehe..) i started getting addicted to neopets way back when i was in college (god, i'm old!). i created an account then, but forgot about it until now. a few days ago, bee was playing something online. i asked her what site it was, she said neopets. and then she said if i had an account then i can just log back in and my user account will be retrieved. i had no idea what my user account was, how else would i know what my password is. so, i created a new account and so far, i have two neopets already!


this is my first neopet. her name is missy. her color's red.

this is my second neopet. his name is beastiboy. his color is green.

Four years..



it's been four years since we first became a couple
sure, not everyday is full of flowers and balloons,
and cotton candies and rabbits
but i thank god because
it made me stronger,
it shaped us together and made us
become what we are today

i asked god for a miracle,
he gave me you.
you're someone i never expected to come so soon
and i'm happy you did because i knew right then
how it feels to live life
as complete as it is

i got the shoes!!

peejay and i went to megamall last night after work. he bought me a pair of sandals that i'm gonna wear to ghe's wedding (thanks be!) it looks brown but it's greenish. it matches the moss green sash on my dress. we bought it from le donne. i had a choice between a gold-colored high heeled slip on and the sky high sandals peejay bought for me.
reason why i didn't choose the slip on was the heels were pencil thin and was a bit wobbly. i'm trying to steer away from those sandals. i didn't want to fall flat on my ass if something goes wrong.
i liked the greenish sandals because although the heels were so high, it felt more stable than the other. the front of the sandal is also raised a bit and when i tried walking, it didn't feel like walking with heels. the sandal itself was comfy enough for me.

faux pas

genrally pronounced like foe-paws

definitions:
according to merriam webster - blunder
according to google - a socially awkward or tactless act
according to wikipedia - is a violation of accepted social rules



in my opinion - it is a blunder; a foot-in-mouth moment; an is-there-a-hole-i-could-crawl-into moment; a moment more awkward than finding your parents kissing..yeah, the list could go on, so i hope you know what i mean.



last saturday (or should i say, sunday morning), peejay and i went to the christening of a friend's baby. so, of course, everybody got tipsy (except me, i drank just a bottle of beer). so, peejay and i dropped off a couple of our friends in their cribs. the second to the last we dropped off was ryan. so, i guess he was just light-headed because of all the booze, but before he closed the car door, he said "cge pee, cge cha!"


of all the ridiculous names he could call me! i was so freaking dumbfounded! i was only able to say to myself, "pati ikaw?". call me the biggest hater, i don't care! of all the names you could call me, why call me that freaking name! i've been called that a couple of times now and up until now it it my most hated name (and person) and nothing is going to top that!

i swear i was so peeved when i heard him say that! but then, all i got to say out loud was "di ka na makakabalik samen!". haha. funny. but i didn't mean it. i'm not mad at him for saying that. i know he was drunk. i don't hate ryan for saying it (i just hate the feeling when i get to be called someone else's name, especially if that someone IS someone i hate). it was a faux-pas moment for him, and that's ok. everybody has it and no one is immune to it.

according to a book i once read (i forgot the title, but it was a novel) "it is a sin to extremely hate someone, because HATE is a sin against God. But i think God may forgive me if i said i utterly and absolutely DISLIKE someone, will He"?

at this point, my dislike to that name is way beyond it's limits. if anyone even dares calling me that name, ever again, well, to hell with faux pas! just go to the corner of your room and screw yourself!

merry christmas!

pj's mom and i (and mamita) did our christmas shopping yesterday (well, just part of it lang because we still have some stuff left to buy next week). we went to divisoria and super grabe dami ng tao! (huhu.. no pictures.) i did not bring my phone nor my camera with me. shempre, i'd want to spend christmas with complete limbs!
so, i was able to buy all the gifts for peejay's and my inaanaks. the only gifts i need to buy are those for my brothers, sisters and to everyone else in the family.

dress up games

this is for all thos who like playing dolls and really girlie games. i learned this from lai. she gave me the website: www.dressupgirl.net. i went to the site and started playing games. although the graphics were not that great, there are a lot of fun games to choose from. then, bee gave me another site: www.azdressup.com, which has better graphics than the first site and i'm still trying to check out all the games on the second site..

aloumi janae

yesterday after work, peejay and i went straight to udmc. his brother's wife gave birth (via c-section) to the baby girl we have been waiting for for months now. super excited kame lahat. grabe, they said she is just like her kuya giro. makulit daw. buti umabot kame sa viewing time, which is just 5-6pm. we got there around 5:30, e ang hirap maghanap ng parking dun kaya we were able to go up to the nursery shortly before 6pm. she is so small and true to what they said, she IS makulit. among all the other babies that were there, sha lang yung umiiyak, at sha lang din yung nagiisang natanggal na yung ulo dun sa pillow, and nagiisang lumabas yung hands dun sa kumot. heheh...
when we asked giro who she looks like, he pointed to himself and said "ako!", sabay tawa. it's cute! he was super excited about his baby sister. he said to peejay's mom, with all innocense, "lola osie, tara, kunin na naten sha." aaawww. cute!

haay..five days is almost over. bee brought her makeup kit and shempre makeup session nanaman! we tried different palettes and ang gaganda namen lahat! hihihi... coach allowed me to log in the same time peejay will (2:30 am) on saturday so we could go to katkat's christening (her son, i mean).

mmm...delish!

it's almost 3am. i'm supposed to be upstairs sleeping, pero i'm here beside peejay eating chicken soup i bought from the concessionaire. in fairness the soup was delish and it reminded me of my mom's chicken soup. he just finished our second bowl (haha..we had to buy another bowl. it was so delicious!) oh yeah, i just remembered. i forgot to take a picture of it. hehe (takaw kase!)
so, i was able to buy a dress yesterday. just wasn't able to post it yesterday kase peejay's pc doesn't have a mouse. the dress is nice. it's brown with tiny white polka dots on it. cute! i got it for Php250. can't wait to wear it on saturday, which reminds me, i have to remind coach winter about my early log in on saturday. yeah, i'll do it later today.

look what i found..

i was searching online for a place to eat. i remembered this chinese panciteria where we used to eat when i was small. my dad used to work as a professor in PMI colleges in sta. cruz and when there is a chance, he would take us to that panciteria. i don't know if it is still standing, but the food was great. i love their chopseuy rice and their pancit canton and the lumpiang shanghai was so delish!
anyhoo, i was checking google to see if there is info about it. i've never been there on my own and i would like peejay and me eat there sana. it has been years since i last went there. siguro it was way back 2000. i've asked my dad where it is exactly. ang lola mo, sabi saken, "dun lang yun. malapit sa PMI". eh, i've never stepped foot in the vicintiy of PMI, much less even know where it is! the closest i've been to PMI is dun nga sa restaurant na yun. di ba ang gulo?
so, here i am consulting google. i was able to find something on clickthecity.com. though, i'm not sure if this is the one i'm looking for. i don't even know the exact name of the place. all i know is that it's called toho. we've been calling it toho as far as i could remember.
so, before i found the info on clickthecity.com (i used the keyword to ho binondo), i found a link on the search results. it said: SIGNS IN DA PILIPINS

you're so vain..

kuya bought for me a set of facial something from THEFACESHOP. akala ko di nya seseryosohin yung sinabi nya before na bibilhan nya ko e, but he did, but i have to pay him in return. sabi nya it's only right that i should invest for a facial care set, just like what he, and my cousin did. while my cousin was in malaysia, she bought for herself a set of celnique stuff for the face. it did wonders to her face, but she ran out of supplies. now she's back here in the philippines, she replaced it with dr. murad's face products..
this was what she bought for herself.. i just don't have the exact pictures of the products she had been using, pero i guess it looks like these..
this is what kuya bought for himself. it's the QUICK AND CLEAN line from THEFACESHOP. according to the cleanser's label, it has a mild formulation that also takes away makeup. the toner and the moisturizer controls sebum production. the toner is said to be non-sticky (according to the label). as for the moisturizer, it is said to instantly soothe and hydrate and heal the skin (again, according to the label.) he said it cost him around Php1,600 for the three bottles. fairly reasonable for the things it could do..
this is what he got for me..DEWY FLOWER line from THEFACESHOP. instead of the usual foaming cleanser, he got me the clear peel exfopliating gel. it has no beads or anything that's supposed to scrub my skin. instead, it will peel off dead skin if you gently rub your face with it. it's supposed to take with it dead skin cells as the gel dries up. i like it so far, but it's too soon to tell. i've only used it twice. as for the toner, i like it because it doesn't sting. it's not sticky like the other usual astringents, which i'm not a big fan of. it has a mild scent which is almost a bit flowery, but not flowery enough to overpower your senses. as for the moisturizer, it's like the one i was using way back in high school, which is the clinique third-step moisturizer. same as the toner, it doesn't have a strong scent. it's so mild, it's literally just like putting a mild lotion on your face. it's also not sticky like OLAY total effects. kuya said it cost him Php1,415 for the three bottles.
good luck to me and i hope i like the results...

fun sunday afternoon..

yesterday, peejay and his kuya bought a new pc. his kuya brought with him his son giro. so, while peejay and his kuya were away, giro and i played in his kuya's room. we goofed around with my phone and we took pictures of one another..
i took funny pictures of him..


and he took pictures of me too..


when peejay and his kuya got home, it's their turn to play..
