After just a week of price increase, oil companies yet again increased gas prices by Php 1.50. People have asked “can it get any worse?” Actually, it can, and my sources said it will. Big ouch to hear that. But an even worse thing to hear is that it might even reach PhP 60.00 per liter. The dollar exchange rate increased but due to the Central Bank’s intervention, the rate didn’t close to the expected...

Three Girls
I had lunch today with two of my girl friends (my best buddies actually) along with their significant others (huhuhu, I was the odd one hahaha), and boy did I miss going out with these two ladies! After our steak fest, we decided to watch the movie "Sex and the City." Too bad the boys couldn't do anything but to please their ladies and tag along with us. The movie was a good one, I must say. So many...

3:44 AM
It is 3:44 am and I'm so wide awake. Why? My little angel woke up at around 3:04 am asking for milk. After giving her, I couldn't sleep anymore because just like a gushing fan (yes I am one!) I couldn't help myself from staring at my little one and holding her real tight. She is soooo love...

Untidy Utility Area
As I went inside our utility area to get the shoes I'd be wearing today, I noticed that the room is very untidy. Sure, I had shelves installed in order to maximize the small space. Yet even if there were already shelves, the items (either the ones we haven't used yet or the ones we hardly use, such as the Christmas trees) are just "displayed" out there in disarray. I just wish that we bought some...

Market Day
Little Miss V went to market. Little Miss V bought some veggies and herbs. She stopped by a shop she read from a blog... And ended up getting her own Goyard bag!Crazy but true!I guess my plan to give Enrique an IWC watch as a surprise gift would have to wait a little longer. Anyway, he'd prefer that...

These Are The Moments...
... when I REALLY want my husband.Nyahahahahahaha....>;-)I can just imagine me wearing some cheap lingerie as feast for his eyes (and his eyes only hahaha). Sorry if this entry sounds so Rated-R, but I can't help it. I really miss my husband (and surely he misses me), everything about him. Whenever I see couples or glimpse on romantic scenes on TV, I cannot help but wish that my husband is nearby...

Manic Thursday
Work has been hectic this week, it’s crazy! First there were a couple of requests from seafarers onboard, if they could come home early due to this and that. Then the usual concern of rebookings of flights of onsigners because the vessels’ schedules changed. Lastly, we have a lot of crew who will leave for their respective vessels, so I have to talk to them and brief them before they join. Can someone...

Eating Time
Check out my little angel, eating and smiling (and loving life I guess!) in our beloved balcony...Speaking of our balcony, here's our latest picture together in our favorite spot. We kinda look like we're in some cold place noh? The wind was sooo breezy that time, this picture was actually the second...

Cozy Moments
Let me just say that I am so very happy that we decided to get our own pad in Sycamore Tower (where we live now). Even if the unit we got was somewhat small compared to the other two bedroom unit with a bigger area, I'm still thankful that we got this particular unit. All 2 bedroom units have their own balcony, but the one we got not only faces the morning sun but also it gives us a really nice view...

Rediscovering Us
I can be such a Drama Queen. A few days ago I have written in my other blog about Enrique and that he must've been from Mars because of his poor pick-up of me wanting to hear some lovey-dovey stuff from him. I should've let this pass but of course, being the DQ that I am, I had to follow-up by text-barraging him. I later realized what was really nagging me, and so I finally made a decision to let...
To Pill or Not?
My officemate and I talked about weight loss (blame it on our culture's fixation on weight) and she has asked me if she knew of anyone who took diet pills that actually worked. I told her that I don't know of any, but also told her that if she's interested in taking them (she's in the big side, you know), she should consult with her doctor first, especially since she has asthma. I mean, maybe there...
BEH!
What's with my little one? She keeps on doing this... She also keeps on drooling more. Is she teething? Of, I DO hope so, because I'm beginning to be impatient waiting for her first pearly whites to show...
Golfing Around
I have mentioned earlier in my Random 10 Tag that one thing about me is that I am quite good in sports. However, I realized that there is one "sport" which I tried to learn but somehow didn't get to like it. Golf. I apologize to all golf lovers out there but during that time I thought it was kinda boring. *Peace* I'd rather play though with my golf software (which golfers might in turn call boring...

Booze-Free Me
Blame it on the tag Random 10 I've been thinking about those good ol' days when partying and booze was my thing. I'm serious when I say that I was a heavy heavy heavy drinker back then. And to get things rolling, whenever we have parties, I get to be the Bar Temptress and mix drinks for my friends. I especially liked mixing for dear friend I, who totally moves all the drinks I offered her. Imagine,...

Tagged: To Do List
Yet another tag from Takki Jen. Here's a list of things I need to do...1. EXERCISE. Ok fine, I don't need to lose weight, as some people have pointed out. But I think I need to tone my body a bit. I'm thinking of finally enrolling in Yoga Classes. Does anyone want to join me?2. Check again the papers that have been littering around our house. Throw the unnecessary ones.3. Have a pedicure or at least...
Father's Day Gift
First comes Mother's Day. Next comes Father's Day. How about Children's Day? Hahaha. Anyway, in a few week's time, Father's Day will be celebrated, and as early as now I'm already thinking of what to give to two special fathers: my Dad and Enrique. Both have seemingly different tastes and interests, and I really want to give them something that I know they would use.For Enrique, he's more a the tools...

The Next Bride?
I don't know, for some reason I thought of one of my best girlfriends today and I couldn't help but think that maybe she's going to be the next bride. Nyahahaha. I had a talk with her during our most recent get together and I seriously told her that I can see her (and I'm predicting) getting married...
IT is IT?
Our office had a recent incident that caused mild flooding in our building, and though our department wasn’t greatly affected save for our floors, our land of patch panels, wires, cables, computers, i.e. our IT Department was. Funny how our smallest department can demand so much attention; when our server has some malfunctions, it seems as if our operations are paralyzed. No emails, no OCS (our system...

Can I Shed Some Lbs?
Last night I was seriously thinking of taking up yoga classes, as form of calming myself as well as losing some weight... Yes, you read that right! I am so determined to go back to my 100-lb level. Yes, some people think that I'm still slim and that I look better now, but there really are moments when I feel that I'm oh so flabby. My thighs are still turkey thighs, my arms are jiggly and all. And...

Hi LV!
Yesterday, Eanna stepped foot on what would be her bag haven in the future. I mean, given the way she holds my bag every time she sees it, that's a possibility...Thought I'd drop by to see if my dream bag can be viewed (Note: viewed only hahahaha!).Louis Vuitton Aquarelle Frame Bag...
51.85
That's the price per liter of the gasoline we use for our car (Shell V Power). My goodness, the cost just keeps getting higher everyday. Last week it was something like 50-ish. Two weeks ago it was just around 49.*Sigh*When oil prices go up, expect other commodities to go up as well. Time to revise our household budget I guess...

Happy Mother's Day!
To all Mom's out there,HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!We started the day by going to Church, and thanked the Lord for another week, hopefully a week full of blessings and wonderful experiences. It's so nice that this week started with a special occasion. After hearing Mass, we went to Greenbelt 5 to check out my dream LV bag as well as what's new. The LV bag I'm salivating over is not yet here, so I added myself...
In A Flash
In my recent (and really short) trip to Singapore, I was able to grab a few things into my shopping bag. My most useful loot however was the 8GB USB flash drive I bought in Changi Airport. Since I thought I was gonna shift gears and thus I needed to surrender my laptop, I transferred all my files to my USB. I decided to stay though, right. But I still feel glad that I got my precious because now I...

Company Expansion
We had a staff yesterday and our President has confirmed of our company's expansion plans. Since we will be having new vessels in the next 2 or 3 years (more than 20 perhaps!), the demand for more crew and the need for more shore-bases staff would likewise be inevitable. For one, transferring to a new building is a likely possibility, as 4 floors seemed to be not enough for our expansion. Currently...
Insuring Enrique
Last night Enrique texted me and asked if I already received our health cards, as part of the benefit package given by his company. He told me he was tasked to make a report on the pros and cons of the health card, and what else he can suggest to be included in their existing benefits package. What's good about their health card is that maternity expenses are covered, even the expenses when the woman...

Eanna's 8th Month Celebration
We celebrated Eanna's 8 months last night, and where there full of surprises!First of, MIL sent us a cake, which meant that I didn't have to buy the 8 munchkins I originally planned. It was really sweet of her to remember my angel's special day. The last time, if I remember correctly, she sent us a...

Eanna turns 8 months old!
My sweetie turns 8 months old today, and I am very excited for tonight's celebration. We will have a very simple "party" and I'm preparing for the following:a) Barbecue - I will try the recipe from Foodie Magazine and will see if it's a goodie or an ew-ie. Hahaha.b) Pasta Alfredo - I will draw inspiration from Giada's version and see if my own will be a goodie.c) Banana Split - I'm craving for this,...

Reminiscing the India Experience
My first (and hopefully not the last) taste of India was when the President of my previous company asked me to be part of his team in coming up with a ship management book. I was really happy back then because I am going to a new country. Nevertheless, I was a bit nervous because I know the English is not really widely spoken, thus the need for someone to do Hindu translation.Alas, when I went there,...
