a sad day for everyone..

june 25, 2009 came out to be a sad day for everyone in the world. michael jackson is dead. sure, i'm not the biggest fan alive, but, i have to say, pop music would not be what it is now if it hadn't been for such great artists like michael jackson. i feel sorry for him, really. i think what happened to him was one of the saddest tragedies that ever happened in the entertainment industry. my condolences to all those he left behind..

423rd and 424th PCCI All Breed Chamnpionship Dog Shows

it was held last saturday (june 20th abd 21st) at the PCCI activity center in marikina. judges were Ms. Lynn Harwood (Australia) on ring 1 and Mr. Tan OO Hock (Malaysia) on ring 2. it was just Beauty's second time to join the show so we were surprised she bagged two points on the second ring. we're so proud of her!!
here are some pics during the show..

outcall failure

i come to work at three in the morning today, and this is what welcomes me...

gardenville resort

last sunday, we celebrated my dad's and cousin's birthday in gardenville resort in binangonan. we went to my cousin's house in binangonan (st. monique valais) on saturday night and spent the night there. sunday morning we went out to look for a resort and we found gardenville resort along the highway.
too bad peepee wasn't able to join us because he had just come out of work and he still had shift at 11:45 pm sunday night.

cauterization...

earlier today (or, should i say, yesterday?!), i went with my dad and we did some errands. we first had his picture taken. then while he was waiting for his pictures to be developed, i left the studio to have all his lab results photocopied (for his sss). then, off we went to the bank so he could open an account. we were told he needed at least two valid id's. he only had one (his sss id). since all his other id's were expired, we were told to get one more valid id. so, we went home first to eat lunch (and to have my brother sign the Special Power of Attorney from my mom), then to try to get at least a barangay certificate (it was the fastest). i asked wiz to go to the barangay hall but unfortunately, he was told the secretary who was supposed to be making the certificate was out and won't be back until later in the evening.
so, my dad and i had to go to carriedo to have his nbi clearance renewed. then, we went back to the bank to open an account. after that, we went straight to megamall to meet with my mom and my cousin, who is already there.
reason why we went there was because my mom wanted to have her syringomas removed. my cousin had hers cauterized about a year ago, before she went to malaysia. my mom wanted to have hers removed as well. i wanted the wart on my right eye removed. so i met up with my mom and cousin in megamall.
so now, i have a scab on my right eye which the dermatologist said would last for about a week. and he also told me that i cannot wash my face just for tonight. which is fine with me. at least i don't have to live with this wart for my entire days.


to those who don't know:
syringoma - a benign (non cancerous) growth on the skin. i think it usually appears around the eyes. the dermatologist said it is genetic. i would guess so, because my mom, my cousin, her mom, and my mom's other siblings has it (around the eyes as well). luckily, i don't have it. but i have this wart on my right eye. correction. i USED TO have it.

busy-busy(han) ever

can't think of anything to blog about (for the first time). i have a lot in mind, but i haven't uploaded the pics yet. i'm planning to put them together and make a slideshow out of it but, since i wanted to get pictures from kuya's cam, and momma's cam, i haven't started it yet.
so, now, i'm here, blogging about nothing...yet.
maybe later, or the next day. whatever comes first. haha..

thanks mom!

last tuesday, my mom and i met up at USTH for my dad's weekly shots for his kidney thingy. afterwards, we went to SM San Lazaro to look for a fridge. we found one, but my mom still wanted to look for more models, so we did not purchase it. instead, what she bought was a strainer, a cooking pot and a pan, some groceries, and this...

camel-colored CHELSEA sandals. i soo love it! my mom got this for me. thanks mom!

beauty on training

training day

early this morning, our trainer/handler landel dropped by to train beauty and hapee. he said beauty is ready for her second dog show. we had beauty registered for the show this coming saturday. it will be held in marikina at the pcci complex. landel told us to be there by 1pm. the last time we joined was sometime last year. yeah, it's been a while, and beast already has, i think, 37 or 42 points. we need 100 points before he becomes a hall of famer.

Trojan Pug Amazing Beauty

Okeepee's Happily Ever After

grapefruit diet, anyone?

i'm trying to shed excess fat. i've got way too much of 'em in my system (anyone who wants them, they're yours, free! haha!). i used to be reed-thin (somewhere around 90-99lbs. yeah, size zero. i used to buy my clothes at the pre-teens department because none would fit in the women's dept). now, i'm somewhere in between (120-130 lbs. i'm not telling. haha!).

my mom would tell me to go on a diet. i would say. yeah, later! so, here's what happened to me. i became a blob (well, sorta.) she would now say i look more of a mom than her.

then, we went to the mall sometime last week to check out a few fridges she wanted. she said it's about time that we replace our fridge with a new one because the one we're currently using is like, 30 years old. it could pass as an antique (if only there are fridge collectors anywhere who's willing to pay for our dear old fridge).

she promised she'd buy me the straightening iron if i get back to my original size. i've been looking at that iron for months now.

i don't want to start ranting about that iron, so i'll go back to the original topic why i'm blogging today. aside from the fact that i want that iron soo sooo bad, i think it's about time i become thin again. why? here's why..

1. i can't walk long distances anymore without stopping to catch my breath. i get tired easily when peepee and i walk around the mall, doing just grocery stuff.

2. seeing my fat self in the mirror is kind of gross.

3. i want to be able to fit back into the clothes that i used to wear.

4. i'm sick of seeing myself fat.

anyhoo, my mom recommended a diet that doesn't require excercising. none at all. it only requires that you eat the specified amount of grapefruit for each meal. i don't think it would be too hard for me since i love grapefruit and eating them on the daily basis is not a problem.

i'm planning to start tomorrow. well, good luck to me (i'll be needing it!)

it will last 12 days and i'll keep you posted on my before and after weigh-ins.

weird

(phone ringing in the background..)
me: thank you for calling...how may i help you?
girl: hello??
me: thank you for calling...hello?
girl: yes. hello?
me: oh. how may i help you?
girl: mam, you called me.
me: oh. sorry. but did you submit a request for [us] to call you back?
girl: no.
me: oh, i'm very sorry about this. thanks anyway.
girl: bye.
me: bye.

errands..

it was my rest day last monday and tuesday. monday, my dad and i went to ust to (finally) meet with his doctor. it was an entire day wasted because we were sitting in front of the doctor's clinic, on very uncomfortable, padded benches. it wasn't until after around four hours of waiting before we were able to speak with the doctor.

tuesday was a bit hectic. i accompanied my mom with some errands she had to do. we left the house at around 9:30-10:00 am to go to PNB along cm recto ave. my mom was able to get a seat right away. thing was, there was only one lady working on all the people queued. so, needless to say, it took us about an hour or so, before my mom got entertained. one more problem is, we still had to meet this person so we could give a package that was sent through my mom. the meeting was arranged in between 11:00am to 11:30am in jollibee in bustillos. since my mom is still at the bank, she told me to go to jollibee without her to meet up with this person. so, i did. i told my mom i'd wait for her there before we go home. so after i've given the package, i waited for my mom inside jollibee (it was sizzling outside!). when she got there, we went home to eat lunch.

she said she still had to fill out forms for her re-entry visa (or permit, i think). she had an air21 messenger pick it up at home. the courier arrived around 1:30-2:00 in the afternoon.after the documents were picked up, we went to GSIS (near MOA). i didn't know that it was there. the travel time (going to gsis) took longer than the minutes we stayed inside the office. i think we stayed there for just ten minutes (or even less). my mom was told that she would be getting the money after a month (it took her almost two years before she got the cheque from her last work!)

after leaving the building, my mom wanted to go back to moa to eat. after filling ourselves, we went home, and the ride home was worse..huhu..our backs (and butts) were aching!

newbies..

aside from the skittles that i got from my mom, i also got four more new thingies from her. first off, a black MAC make up bag. my mom said it was a freebie. the actual items that were bought were: 1. a mac frost lipstick in solar plum, 2. mac liquidlast liner in brassbeat, and 3. mac eyeshadow in cranberry. i wasnt able to get a picture of the eyeshadow. i just don't know where it would look best with. i think these three items would look good together. hopefully they would. i'll test it on wiz later when he wakes up. hehe..

facebook...

i'm a member..still learning the ropes..haha..

a day of errands turned into a day wasted

my dad and i met up today at ust hospital for his doctor's appointment. we met around 12noon. we were 10th on the list. we waited for almost four hours before we got called. we waited for such a long time, when we came back after eating lunch, the doctor was still checking patient number 7. award winning.
when it was our turn to speak with her, the entire check up lasted for what, maximum fifteen minutes. the only reason why it took a while before we went out of the clinic was because my dad was given a flu vaccine. he was also given his first once a week shot of Eprex.
so, we got home around four thirty, i think.
haay...such a waste.

guess who?

i was browsing celebrity picture galleries on perez hilton's website (http://www.perezhilton.com/), when i chanced upon this picture. would you believe this is ryan seacrest? haha.. cutie..

she's back!

my mom's here! we got to the airport a bit later than usual. it was traffic along pasay. but, it's fine now. i got a bit of skittles and lots of jewelries. hehe.. an addition to my growing collection of jewelries...

oldschool..

ooohhh...old school stuff...

movie time

ana downloaded a movie called drag me to hell. it's a bit disturbing. a bit gross. and a bit funny at the same time..

flight problems..

june 4, 2009 6:54 pm (manila time)..
got a message from my mom: "aw8ng boarding. air cnda #1163 dep tor 8am arr vanc 9:59am. Ac#3 dp va 1:45pm ar narita tok 3:55pm jun 5. Jpn air #JL745 dp nar 6:20pm ar mnl 9:55pm june 5. c u."

june 5, 2009 6:30 am (manila time)..
i got a message from my mom saying that her flight from vancouver to narita, japan went back to vancouver after an hour on the air because of plane problems. the plane was supposed to leave vancouver 1:45 pm for narita. i got the message 6:30am today so, it means that she's still in the airport somewhere in vancouver as this time.
i immediately checked online for information about the delay. as usual, the sites for JAL, AirCanada, as well as the NAIA, are all useless. they all say that everything is going on accordingly. hello, my mom won't be stuck in vancouver if everything is going on as scheduled!

june 5, 2009 7:42 am (manila time)..
got another message from my mom: "D na abot cnectng flyt jal. hrap nyan ung bags ibbb jpn, kkunin anader chkin uli. bk spend nyt jpn. upd8 mo te al, wl bat 4164 got p chrger. nrcv ko lod fr pp." - so, fine. almost five hours of delay, they still don't have news about what's gonna happen.

june 5, 2009 8:53 am (manila time)..
"canceld n 4 tom same flyt. arange din nla jpn flyt. accomodation provided. try ko kol te al mo mya s hotel. tel ur pp 2 send me another p100 pr mgmit tom." - oh. bummer. another day of waiting before my mom gets here. but at least they have free accomodation so i know she's in good hands.

old addiction is baaack!!

back in my high school days, i became sooo addicted to wonka nerds candies. i would buy a box everytime i see one available. i think i've tried all available flavors. i sort of quit buying them when i started college. primarily because i didn't know where else to buy them. so, the habit of endulging in its tanginess died.

so, when i started working, i would see boxes displayed on 7-eleven's counters. i would buy a box or two.

then, when peepee and i started to bring packed lunch to work, we would shop for groceries twice a month. i started the addiction again. i would buy a box of apple-watermelon and another box of grape-strawberry.

then, last saturday, when we did our groceries, i saw this huge box of rainbow nerds (7 oz of goodness). i immediately placed it in my cart without thinking twice. hehe.. i'm now trying to finish the entire box.

*edited 06052009* - i finished eating the entire box of rainbow nerds. i ate everything (all 7 ounces of it) for three days and finally, after my tongue suffered from minor cuts and nicks from eating too much nerds, i was able to finish it!!

aaawww...

yesterday, my brother, who works for the same company as my close high school friend, mae, told me that one of our other close friend, ayen, got married last may 8th. apparently, they were unable to contact me, so i wasn't able to attend the wedding.
too bad for me..but, i'm happy for the couple...they've been together for what, eight or nine years before they finally tied the knot.
again, my regards to the couple, aileen and ek!! best wishes (although this came in late). again, i'm really sorry i wasn't there with the rest of the gang..

my mom's coming home..

i'm so excited. after almost two years of not seeing her, she would come home for a couple of weeks. she'll fly back to canada on the 25th, just three days after my dad's birthday. it's just a really short visit, which is just fine. at least we'd get to see her again..
peepee, me, and wiz would pick her up from the airport. the plane's eta would be on june 5th, 9:55pm.

when it's my time...

kung nasan ka

sana ay naroon ako

ang mahalin ka,

yun ang ligaya ko

dito sa aking puso

may munting paraiso

naghahari pagmamahal

at ang pagibig mo

mahal kita, walang hanggan

iibigin ka, ikaw lamang

itatangi ko magpakailan man

hinding hindi ka iiwan

mahal kita ang langit ko

ang puso ko'y tanging sa'yo

sa aking pangako

sana'y umasa ka

mahal kita, mahal kita

wala nang iba

kung nasan ka

naroon din ang langit ko

lahat ng araw

nagdiriwang ako

dito sa aking puso

my munting paraiso

ang tahanan ng pagibig

na di magbabago

mahal kita, walang hanggan
iibigin ka, ikaw lamang
itatangi ko magpakailan man
hinding hindi ka iiwan
mahal kita ang langit ko
ang puso ko'y tanging sa'yo
sa aking pangako
sana'y umasa ka
mahal kita, mahal kita
wala nang iba

mahal kita, walang hanggan
iibigin ka, ikaw lamang
itatangi ko magpakailan man
hinding hindi ka iiwan
mahal kita ang langit ko
ang puso ko'y tanging sa'yo
sa aking pangako
sana'y umasa ka
mahal kita, mahal kita
wala nang iba

to anyone who've seen the philippine version of marimar...you should know this song. i want this to be my wedding song. i don't care if it's part of the wedding march, or if it's in the slow dance. i just want this to be part of it. it's uber romantic. haaayyy...

according to garfield..

"we all get heavier as we get older because there's a lot more information in our heads. so i'm not fat! i'm just really intelligent and my head couldn't hold any more so it started filling up the rest of me! that's my story and i'm sticking to it!"

go figure! haha..

new toy..

my dad just got himself a new laptop. it's an hp pavillion dv6-1053cl. peepee and i finished setting it up last night. i just finished creating the recovery disccs for it, and now i'm testing it's online connection (as if it needs to be tested..hehe..)

i also tested the built in webcam..

my desktop is still busted. my brother and i decided we'd get another desktop instead. i've told peepee to build one for us. we don't need a case and a monitor. we could still use the one that we have. tomorrow i'll look for pricelists of parts that we need...
