surprise story #2
the following day, dec1, we gathered again to give a surprise baby shower for ati twix. we initially had our meeting after our dinner last rockNshoot event at clarke quay. we opted to bring food by potluck. the other ptv4 pips were informed the following week about our plan. i emailed buru about it and asked him to make up an excuse so that ati would go out that day and go to ulrik's place.
we were all set at around 4.30pm that day. when they knocked on the door, we were lined up behind the table and as they entered the flat, we shouted a big surprise and happy birthday! hahaha!!! twix was so shocked, you could just imagine the big smile on her face and everybody was laughing! she said that buru told her it was yanah's birthday *ulrik's daughter* but actually it wasn't and yanah is vacationing in pinas. she insisted on buying a gift for her but good thing buru was very convincing hehehe... faye and ffg almost bumped into them at the bus stop in lucky plaza, mareng faye and ffg just backed out and rode on a different bus.
it was really a nice get together party and we were all so excited and happy for the coming of the new addition in the kid's group. to ati twix and buru, we're all wishing for the best!

surprise story #1
december1 was ate vi's birthday so some of our friends and i planned to give her a surprise cake blowing session at the pantry on nov.30 meryenda. jill and i went down to buy a cake at swensens but before that, i asked ate vi where i can buy disposable plates,spoon and fork. the lady had no idea that we're suppose to use them for the cake hehehe.. i had no choice but to ask her becoz she's the only person in the office who has them. good thing melvin was able to get some supplies from somewhere else.
on our way back from swensens, we met kiko *ate vi's boyfriend* in the lobby then they proceeded to the pantry to prepare. i went to fetch ate vi and grace. good thing their bosses were in a meeting so the timing was perfect! when we were approaching the pantry, ate vi thought kiko was there on our floor to do some fix on roy's pc. she then realized when we opened the cake box that we were celebrating for her birthday. she was terribly surprised and was speechless hehehe.. happy birthday ate vi! =)
ate vi, me and grace *mga walang magawa*

welcoming a break
Last Saturday, Nov. 24, our friend Ulrik has organized an event in The Arena at Clarke Quay. Out of no choice, he asked me to help in hosting few bit parts of the show. Our friends, Hani, Eram and Ami also helped Ulrik in the registration and selling out of show tickets. We arrived around 3pm on the venue then the show started around 4pm. There were lots of pinoy bands who graced the event and they really performed well. Among the band included was Ulrik’s group, Quiverpool... he was the drummer. My portion came before their set, I introduced one of the contestants in the 50 most gorgeous people here in SG. Her name is Jacyln Chan. She was there to promote herself and gather some votes from the audience. All I can say is that she’s smart and nice and beautiful. I got the chance to know her more backstage and after presenting her to the audience, we had some picture taking. There were also some invited models for the PinoyCSers members shoot. The ladies helped me hand out the prizes for the raffle draw and congratulating the stars of the night. It was pure music and fun all night.
After the show, we had dinner at Boat Quay. Finally, we had our chance for some peace and quiet. We had a delicious beef hotplate, baby kailan veggies, fried calamari and chicken ala max hehehe! We reviewed the event and planned some things to do in the next few weeks. All in all, it was a fun night, and the break was very refreshing. I miss hanging out with my friends. I'm very thankful for dadi's presence, it made the night much more fun and easy. He was so supportive that night and I know that he also enjoyed taking pictures.

addiction
i thought i'll get over it. it's like one of those feelings that when you already tried and reached the peak, you just wanted to stop and get on with your life normally as it was. but i was wrong, i just caught myself doing it again and again even if i had already finished one session. i started slow, to feel the moves and the right motivation. then at times, there comes the frustration of not getting it then you decide to do it more and more. afterwards, you attain the ultimate end! and you've won! but you can't get enough of it... so you do it one more time. i can't stop myself from doing it at the office or even at home. i try to fight back the temptation, but my fingers just itch to get on with it.

Finally!
After 3months of deciding which design of chuck taylor to buy and postponing it until we finalize what we wanted, we bought our own pairs of converse sneakers! Yahooo!!! Originally, I wanted to buy a pair of mine back in Manila last march when we had our vacation. When we got back here in SG, dadi and I decided to get ourselves a pair with the same design that would be nice for both of us. So here they are… =)

I’ve been trying to avoid the inevitable, trying to delay what is supposed to be. I faced it, alas! It carved a mark in my heart and soul. And now I’m so lost and confused. I’m trying my best to be a better person... to be a loving wife, a doting mother, a responsible daughter, a reliable sister, an objective friend, a hardworking employee, a just member of the society. Does one really have to carry the task and burden of such? I’m asking for more patience, guidance and counsel, of love and understanding, of hope that eventually things will get better. Enough of the leaping out of faith, I’ll retire myself for what is to come. Who knows if I can get back the urge to fight back again and conquer the odds, but for now, I’m just tired. I’ve been hiding and fighting too much, and I’m missing a lot.

Awed
The other night while I was putting my little boys to sleep, Nixon suddenly asked if he could pray first before sleeping. I was astounded and caught off guard. I’m not prepared what to say while guiding him to his prayer. But suddenly he started reciting the Lord’s prayer (Our Father…), the Hail Mary and Glory be. I didn’t say anything after he finished. He said goodnight and I answered back a sweet goodnight to him. Then I smiled and said a thank you to God. My son is really growing fast. He’s now 5years old… and I’m one proud parent.
By the way, he also knows how to look at the time on our wall clock. =)

latest
after coming back from my pinas vacation, i was immediately rolled in to another project in sgx. my other project was in UAT (user acceptance testing) phase so the ball was with the users. we were waiting for feedback and approval. the new project entails more program changes and cumbersome tasks since we were assigned to make official documentations as well. the worst part was that i got sick with tonsilitis for a week so my performance was not at its peak.
we had a small celebration for blessie's birthday at surfNturf in suntec. we also helped faye and rommel moved out from their condo. we met some friends and had lunch to welcome them here in sg. i went back to my yoga classes just last week.

the best thing that happened lately was that i had been pronounced by our company as a permanent staff after 4months of my probationary period. yiippee! it's nice to enjoy the perks and of course it would mean assurance somehow for our future here in sg.

back in sg
after a week, my mom and sis were scheduled for a one week visit here in sg. my mom missed our kids so much. we visited the merlion because last time they were here, they weren't able to go there and have pictures taken near the merlion itself. my mom and sis went around sg by themselves and joined us for dinner sometimes during week days. dadi and i weren't able to take our leaves anymore but we tried to take them out after office.
we had lunch at no signboard in vivo city during the weekend, it was also our 1st time to dine there. cereal prawn was really great and abalone with veggies. the chili crab was very spicy and the fried rice was terrific. we had picture takings and the kids played in the playground even with the scorching heat. then we proceeded to chinatown for some coffee and visit. good thing the moon festival was around so the place was crowded with tourist and lots of decorations were present.
they left on a monday and as usual, my mom was very sad to leave her apos behind. she was begging us to come home on christmas. well hopefully we'd still be able to get cheap tickets this late. we'll see...

kainiz experience sa manila
one of my reasons kaya ako umuwi sa manila ay para mapalitan ang surname ni nixon. iniisip ko na sana payagan nila ko kahit ako lang maglakad ng papers. di naman kasi kabisado ng information kung tinatanong ko over the fone ung mga dapat gawin so might as well go there personally para malaman ko. i called the manila city hall to verify if they're going to get the original copies of the birth certificate and marriage license. oo daw kailangan nila kunin para may sarili din silang copy kaya nung wednesday mismo ng hapon, nagpunta kami sa NSO quezon ave. dati dun lang pupunta kung gusto mo lang magrequest ng copy. aba pagdating namin dun, wala na at kailangan na kami pumunta sa east ave branch. pagdating namin dun, buti na lang walang masyadong tao pero kakaiba talaga pila system sa atin. the following day ng 11am pa marerelease ung mga papers so iniba ko sked ko. sa umaga na lang ako pumunta sa dentist para sa hapon, pagkakuha nung papers, direcho na kami sa manila city hall.
sa manila city hall nagsimula kalbaryo ko. syempre may pila at pagkatapos ko naghintay ng 30minutes, sinabi sa kin ng legal assistant na dapat daw local copy ng birth certificate ung ipapasa, di daw ung authenticated copy. aba nagulat ako dahil ultimately, pinaka legal ang authenticated copy dahil galing pa to ng NSO at ginagamit pag kukuha ka ng passport. ayaw nila, kailangan daw talaga un local copy na nirerelease pagkapanganak ng bata na binibigay sa ospital. di ko nadala un kaya sabi ng ale, kuha na lang daw ako muna dun. kinabukasan ng umaga pwede na daw makuha at balik ako sa kanya. sinabi ko ung case ko na ako lang magisa andun para magasikaso pero unahin ko daw muna pagkuha nung birth cert, tsaka na lang un susunod.
the following day, friday, nakuha na namin ng umaga un birth cert. buti maikli pila kaya sandali lang ako naghintay. pagdating dun ulit sa legal assistant sabi nya schedule for interview daw kami mag-asawa. sabi ko nga sa kanya kahapon na ako lang mag-isa. ayun di daw pwede. araykupu! akala ko naman ok na, biglang kailangan pa daw ng affidavit of legitimacy from phil. embassy sg tapos papa-authenticate sa DFA sa pinas bago ipapasa ulit sa kanila. manang naman! sana sinabi mo na lang sa kin kahapon para di na lng ako nagbayad ulit para kumuha nung local copy at di nasayang oras namin bumalik dun kundi din naman pala maaayos. haaaayyyyy!!! gobyerno nga naman talaga naten! pano ba tayo aasenso nyan!? pambihira!

back home
i was able to get a leave from office last minute to attend my kumareng faye and rommel's wedding in pinas on sept1. i booked my tickets on the 1st week of august, sure thing, ticket prices were soaring high even for budget airlines. so i just took jetstar going to manila then cebupac to flyback to sg. i was really excited to go back home after some few months and its an experience to fly alone. i was not really happy leaving dadi and the kids behind but its way over our budget if everybody comes along. besides, we won't be able to bring the kids to the wedding coz its an adults affair and nixon's school is still up until aug31.
aug29, my flight to manila was 7.50am. dadi was kind enough to take me to the airport. we had a quick breakfast after checking in then i headed to the boarding area. the experience wasn't that bad (i really hate flying). i was able to get a little nap and the middle seat wasn't occupied so there was more space to move. after the plane landed, i got out, met my mom and sis and we walked all the way out of the airport to get a cab.
at home we had lunch together then proceeded to my dentist afterwards. unfortunately his clinic is closed on wednesdays so we just went to NSO office in east avenue. i really hated how our government system works out to serve our people but thats another story i'm going to write about in my blog. we just settled going to sm north edsa by that afternoon til evening to buy some stuffs i needed to bring back to sg.
the next day i went to my dentist early in the morning. berna, my mom and i went to have lunch at jollibee then proceeded to manila city hall. from there, my mom left us to hear mass at st. jude while berna and i proceeded to glorieta to meet my other sis grace and her boyfriend aljo. i went around landmark first to buy my evening bag and some yoga pants and of course my automatic umbrella hehe. aljo treated us to gerry's grill bcoz he got promoted then berna left afterwards to be with her friends while grace, aljo and i catched a movie, a love story hehehe. it was nice and exciting bcoz its been a very long time since i was able to watch a tagalog movie in manila.
friday, i woke up early again to go back to manila city hall (for nothing gggggrrrrrr). my mom and i went to hear friday mass at quiapo then went home for lunch. blessie and i met at megamall to have our nails done and go malling. we met with faye who was relaxing herself at ricky reyes salon. i must say that megamall had flourished into a more sightful experience than before. so i'm happy again to be back there. blessie and i parted our ways early bcoz she has to meet with her friends and i had to get back home to rest. unfortunately i got lost on my way home. i took the mrt and i thought that getting off at north station would be hard since the puv's there are stationed farther. i jumped out to quezon ave instead. but there were no more cabs waiting on the exit so i was left with no option other than to go to sm north edsa and have my mom pick me up from there.
sept1, i went to my dentist early in the morning to get my retainers then proceeded to david's salon in trinoma for my hair and makeup. i met up with kati who had her eyebrows threaded and had her hair done also. we went back to my place to change our clothes then hailed a cab to go to san sebastian church. luckily we were accompanied by my mom and bro so we didn't lose our way and traffic was not bad so we came in early. we met up with blessie and her sis debbie. i had a little chat with annie, a housemate of faye who's living in US with her hubby and son. the ceremony started on time, i was the reader during the mass so i was able to see everything up close. it was nice to watch rommel crying while faye was doing her bridal march..aaww a very touching sight. the reception was held at wack wack golf and country club in san juan. food was great and everyone enjoyed themselves.
the following day, i heared mass with my family and we had lunch at chef d angelo's in trinoma. i did some last minute shopping then we went home afterwards. my sis grace and aljo visited me that night before i leave for sg. come monday i fixed my things and had few more moments with my mom then they accompanied me to NAIA. it was kinda tearful actually when we were inside the cab. who knows when i can come back to manila again. but it was really refreshing to take a break and visit everyone back home.

dadi's birthday
before anything else, i'd like to greet my dadi rak a very happy birthday! we celebrated it at new york new york cafe in one raffles link after office. i made reservations and asked for a mini cake for him to blow a candle. we were so stuffed with baby back ribs and quarter chicken pasta... yum! i gave him a very nice dog tag necklace that i knew he really liked to have. after that we watched a movie at plaza singapura. it was the 3rd installment for jason bourne's life story, the bourne ultimatum.
it was plain and simple fun...the way we used to celebrate our birthdays back in pinas. its a breather and refresher for both of us. i'm glad dadi loved his day. i enjoyed it as well. =)

highs and lows
i've been attending yoga classes lately, i think for about a month now. so far, the best thing i was able to conquer was drinking sodas (a.k.a coke). its also a good way to sweat, i never knew that it's helpful to my perspiration glands. i gave up on gyms because it gets boring after some time and the fact that i don't sweat out during sessions. i have also been able to spend some time with my friends blessie, faye, sheryl and ethel. i've gained new ones as well... our pinay consultant mae, then there's dholly and eloisa.
the downside is dadi and i don't get to share so much time anymore because we don't go home together during my yoga days. he also has his jogging regime as he has gained an inclination to marathons. it started last july with a 5km fun run courtesy of his officemate and now he joined a 12km marathon for august 26. so our schedules hardly meet whenever i have my yoga or he has his jogging preparation sked.
i think right now dadi is very comfortable with his physique. most of our friends said that he lost a lot of weight. i'm not too sure about mine hehe... i guess mine would take a little while for results to start popping. but if it wasn't for faye's upcoming wedding, i think i won't really be interested attending yoga. but i realized that it helped me alot in dealing with my weight problems. =)
p.s. i haven't still made up my mind about harry potter hehe..

chatting with nixon
dadi: hey nixon, what do you want to be when you grow up?
nixon: i want to be able to reach number 10. *note: our hdb flat is on the 8th floor, nixon likes to press the elevator buttons. basta addict sya pumindot ng elevator.*
dadi: no, what i mean is when you finish school, what kind of work do you want to do? you want to be a pilot? the one who flies the airplanes and helicopters?
nixon: hmmm i don't think i want to be a pilot.
dadi: why??!
nixon: because i don't want to be away from my family!
oo nga naman, how sweet diba? eto pa, let's continue with the conversation...
dadi: ahh ok *smiles and looks at me*. how about an engineer or architect? you know they are the ones making the buildings and houses.
nixon: but i don't want to carry heavy blocks. *orayt!*
then there's this one night when we were walking at a 7-11 store, i saw some marshmallows and asked nixon if he liked some MARSHMALLOWS.
nixon: it's not marshmAllows... it's marshmEllows! *ayun dapat pala slang*
another scene where nixon saw me wearing my eyeglasses...
nixon: mami, why are you wearing those spectacles?
duh??! anak where did you get your vocabularies?! parang dejavu nung what color is this and he answered purple, pwede namang violet na lng diba? hahahahaha!!!
ayun lang, kids can sometimes be so fascinating while growing up.

nixon: because i don't want to be away from my family!
oo nga naman, how sweet diba? eto pa, let's continue with the conversation...
dadi: ahh ok *smiles and looks at me*. how about an engineer or architect? you know they are the ones making the buildings and houses.
nixon: but i don't want to carry heavy blocks. *orayt!*
then there's this one night when we were walking at a 7-11 store, i saw some marshmallows and asked nixon if he liked some MARSHMALLOWS.
nixon: it's not marshmAllows... it's marshmEllows! *ayun dapat pala slang*
another scene where nixon saw me wearing my eyeglasses...
nixon: mami, why are you wearing those spectacles?
duh??! anak where did you get your vocabularies?! parang dejavu nung what color is this and he answered purple, pwede namang violet na lng diba? hahahahaha!!!
ayun lang, kids can sometimes be so fascinating while growing up.

blog hopping
today was one of those idle days in the office. there was supposed to be a testing using my laptop but my office mate was out doing his other project so i was left with reading some training materials for the other upcoming projects. the best side of this is having internet access *hoorraayy! bless the cyberspace technology*.
so i was reading through my pile of mails with my other yahoo account and a message from multiply updates gave me an interest. there was a link for kc concepcion's account. i got interested so i clicked on the link and i enjoyed reading her entries and looking at the pictures. though some words are in french *i think*, still i was mighty proud of that gal...why? i was initially expecting a high profiled blogsite in pure english contents, but what i read were entries spoken from the heart containing words of our native tongue. and her entries were really life as it is happening to her, not any bragging account of fashion and high society rubbish or gimiks that 'normal' society people like us only dream about. it was so nice of her to share humbly some of the places she's been to and some experiences she has encountered. so i decided to add her to my list of blogfriendness.
*parang nahiya tuloy ako at gusto ko na din mag-add ng tagalog words dito paminsan minsan when i feel like it nyahahaha*
another nice find was the blogsite of a good friend who was supposed to be my gownmaker if our wedding would have pushed through. veluz reyes, aka mama veluz as i fondly called her, just recently updated her blogsite *thank goodness*. i was really amazed at her artwork gown designs that really shows off the beauty and uniqueness of each of her brides. i was also laughing through some narrations of her experiences with the different brides she had. the latest entry i read was really funny, i could just imagine how much patience she has within her powers to endure the stress hahahaha...
