What We Had For His Bday

Sorry for the late post about this, but this was what we had for dear hubby's birthday...Just a simple meal... no cakes, no ice cream. These are his top favorite food. I would have added sinigang but then that's too much already. So Sisig and Crabs were the final choices. Hahaha.And I know, I know,...

Are You A Snob?

You Are A Little SnobbyAnd being a little snobby every once and a while is totally allowed.Because if no one was ever snobby, no one would ever try to dress up or look pretty.And while you do enjoy the finest things in life (that you can afford), you tire of superficiality.You know there's more to life...

Ay...

I was really looking forward to getting my own red Fidji Goyard bag up until I came across Chuvaness' post about her Goyard complaints. I checked my bag and indeed, the corners have peeled. Considering that these bags aren't that expensive, i really would expect more. *Sigh* It really is a big disappointment. But when I go to HK, I will check again and ask the shop about it. At least it's more reason...

Near Accident Caused By A Chair

I was sleepy awhile ago, up until I sat and leaned on the back of my chair and I almost got toppled over! My Boss has warned me before about my chair here in my place, and he almost fell too when he sat on it (I was absent that time). I told him that it's just a matter of finesse, and that it knows its owner (hahaha). Well, I guess that's not the case anymore. As I looked around, I noted that my two...

The Independent Kid

Yesterday, I was raving about my little girl taking a few steps before holding on to something. Last night however, her Nanny told me that she was walking by herself in the hallway, back and forth! I couldn't believe it buy then and there I witnessed her walking for a long time by herself! And when I tried to carry her, she moved as if she wanted to be put down. When I did and tried to old her hand,...

Ways to Surprise

Dear hubby just sent me a very "challenging" email, asking me if I'm ready because he's coming home soon. Hahaha. Sometimes it is really fun when we talk about these things, and afterward, it makes me think of ways on how to surprise my dear hubby... you know, a welcome present? Naughty naughty naughty!Anyway, in truth, it always scares me whenever it's that time of the year (him coming home after...

Hubby Goes To Florida

Dear hubby just told me that they went to Florida and they're now on their way to Europe again. Unfortunately, he wasn't able to buy the Macbook he so wanted. Poor him. But he told me that after Europe, they might sail again to Florida, and maybe by that time, he'd have a chance to go out and buy the laptop. He also told me that some crew have said that Florida is nice, and it would be a nice place...

Do I "Pill" the Need?

Goodness. One of our crew who recently came home commented that my physique looks better now since I gained a lot of pounds compared to the last time he saw me. Huhuhu. That means my weight gain was that noticeable. Ok fine, he thinks I look nice, and most of the crew who came home also said so. But I want to be thinner, you know, go back to my old weight! One more person to tell me I gained weight...

Must. Exercise.

Enrique is coming home in a couple of months, and I really want to start exercising now. Aside from toning my body, I know that when he's here, he'd "force" me to exercise with him.

Sister's Loot

Can I just kill (joke) my sister? When I went to my parent’s place last weekend, she tried to make me envious by showing off the cool t shirts she bought during their recent trip to Hong Kong. Huhuhu, and she didn’t get any from me. Plus, that sneak even showed me more tops that she got (and still unused!) when she went to the US last November 2007. Now I can’t wait till our company’s trip to Hong...

Grandpa's Condition

My Mom went to the province to visit our ailing Grandfather. I was supposed to go with them but due to “poor coordination” I was unable to do so. I have been wanting to visit him, especially since it was his birthday last August 2, and I just felt bad that I didn’t go last weekend. Anyway, my Mom hasn’t given me any updates, but I am just expecting that his condition is either the same or has worsened....

Marketing Strategies to Get Crew

Market condition in the shipping industry is proving to be getting more challenging by the day. Before, it is the demand’s market, but now, since there is very tight supply of seafarers, they have become choosy and most of the time, money and benefits talk. We have been coming up with different marketing strategies and promotional products that would entice people to join our company. I just hope...

Bad For The Skin

The weather has yet again changed and we are now experiencing clear skies. Well, for now. Because I’m sure that anytime, it would be rainy again. I’m just worried because, sorry to sound vain but, sometimes my skin cranks up because of these weather changes. I do not have an acne cream in our medicine chest and I dislike putting it on. I might as well get one though, just in case. I don’t want to...

Unsafe Streets

What’s with trucks lately? Every night, there seems to be news about trucks either hitting street pillars and island, or hitting cars and worse, people. I totally hate it when people die because they get hit by either trucks or buses, and drivers explain away by saying either they didn’t see the passengers or they fell asleep because of exhaustion or lack of sleep. I sure hope that the victims get...

Speaking of the Rainy Season

... Our balcony has been battered by the storms! Poor herbs, poor plants, and poor furniture! Good thing I resisted buying some outdoor stuff, because these too would have been bombarded by the wind and rain. I thought of getting patio furniture covers but maybe that's a little too extreme a measure. Besides, our balcony is small anyway, and our "furniture" isn't really that grand. Hahaha. I just...

Difficulty in the Laundry Dept.

Because of the continuous rain showers and cloudy skies, our helper has complained that she cannot dry our clothes properly. Though we have a washing machine that also serves as a dryer, one of our "rules" to save energy / electricity is to minimize use of certain equipment, such as turbo broilers, dryers, and even aircons. However, because of our rainy season, we might be compelled to use our dryer,...

Recap Of Their Vacation

They had a huge blast, and I was really jealous of the bags that my Mom and my sister bought. Mom got a tan Jeanne...
