You Are a Dreaming Soul |
 Your vivid emotions and imagination takes you away from this world So much so that you tend to live in your head most of the time You have great dreams and ambitions that could be the envy of all... But for you, following through with your dreams is a bit difficult You are charming, endearing, and people tend to love you. Forgiving and tolerant, you see the world through rose colored glasses. Underneath it all, you have a ton of passion that you hide from others. Always hopeful, you tend to expect positive outcomes in your life. Souls you are most compatible with: Newborn Soul, Prophet Soul, and Traveler Soul |

Testing My Dessert for Christmas
I just wanted to test the dessert I plan to serve this Christmas. I loved it.
Vanilla Ice cream topped with Strawberries in Wine
For the "sauce": In a saucepan over low heat, dunk in fresh or frozen strawberries. Add red wine, add sugar. Cook until it boils in the sides. Drizzle over the ice cream.

I'll make it more special though by using mixed berries. Yum yum.
Nature-Friendly Products
Got to buy these nature-friendly products during the Urban Bazaar:
Simple Shoes
Both hubby and I loved the comfort of these shoes. Thank goodness one shoe fit me! These shoes are made using recycled and natural products. Love, love, love them.
Messy Bessy
Some are for home-use, and some, i bought to be given to others this Christmas. I have tried some of the products and they seem to be ok. Which reminds me, i gotta ask our housemate how she rates these products. Hahahaha.
Spred the word... let's be earth-friendly (and human-friendly too)!!!

Reason for my Delinquency
In blogging, that is. Oh, plus in plurking and chatting. Hahaha.
Well, aside from me being very busy with my "complete" family, there has been a lot of developments in our company that caused some stress (what an understatement!!!) on our part. These ruffled the feathers of some people and so gave us here in the office some difficulty. I don't want to say more about this for fear of saying unpleasant things again, but I have learned a lot from these experiences and hopefully these would remind me who or who not to become. I've always thought that there are so many things I need to do in order to change and be a better person but all these have made me realize that I'm not that "bad" after all. I just hope and wish that people will realize that not everything is all about money, and sometimes, we have to sacrifice a bit especially in these uncertain times.
In these days where uncertainty in jobs, financial and market condition rules, there are two ways I guess. Either to be brave, hope for the best, be more understanding and cooperative and help each other... OR... keep the arrogance and be selfish.
So... will I now be able to blog, chat, plurk regularly (Nyahahaha)? Well, that really depends. But I will try to do my best to keep my blogs alive. After all, blogging is my way of unwinding.

Am I a Workaholic?
For a couple of days now, I can be described as disturbed and can play the lead for Girl interrputed II (if ever hahaha). I don't know, depression suddenly hit me, and yesterday, I was at my all-time low. I was crying like crazy and hubby couldn't do anything to help me. He kept on asking me what my problem was so that he can understand and help me, but I was just too ashamed to say that all my stress, uneasiness, and anxiety are caused by just one: work. It really is a stressful month for me, and people, for some reason, have been uncooperative, and worse, some were really arrogant and demanding. Yes I know, this is the industry I am in. I decided to stay here and accept the big responsibility it entails.
I used to like the challenge and don't get affected (that much) by my work. But now, it's the only thing in my mind, and it keeps me from being a full-time wife and Mom to my wonderful child.
I have considered going into rehab and cleanse my mind off of things. Or take a vacation (a long one, in that case I need to book some las vegas hotel reservations), or go to spritual classes.
I do hope I'm not getting insane. I want to see my kid(s) grow, and to grow with hubby. *Sigh*

That Size 10 Shoe
All I can say is... Pres. Bush dodges well... while the journalist has a good aim!
The Day The Earth Stood Still
I was really looking forward to seeing this movie with dear hubby, because I found the trailer and the title very interesting. I got to read one short review about it, and it said that the movie was "watch-able" but is inferior compared to the original version. I wouldn't relaly know because I didn't watch the original film.
On to the movie...
Well... uhm... Hubby and I were a bit disappointed because the movie kind of lacked coherence and that there were so many loopholes and questions. What would have been a good message to all mankind was dampened or outstaged by the special effects (not much still!) of the film. I don't know, I wasn't that convinced that mankind will be destroyed. I hoped that they showed our destructive side more - to make us realize how destructive we were 9and still are). I hoped that the movie would make us relate more to it in that we ourselves would think and in a way convince Klaatu that we aren't such a bad species after all. What i liked thought is how the politicians (and world leaders) were portayed. Sorry if I'm so cynical about them but it is a good thing the movie portrayed them as arrogant people who's only interest is their self-preservation... So what if people will die, as long as they are in their own safehouse right?
But anyway, the movie still made me think and I hope that others too thought about the message seriously. This movie is very timely and relevant to the times right now. We need to save our planet and save ourselves.
PS: I really found jennifer Connely really really thin... Did she take anything, Leptovox perhaps? I would love to be as thin as her. Well, maybe some few pounds more.

Eanna @ 15 Months
Happy 15 months dear sweetcake of ours!
We had a simple celebration of Eanna's 15th month: balloons, cake, sashimi, kimchi, miso soup (for her), and Korean beef stew. YUMMY. Dessert (aside from the cake)... vanilla ice cream topped with strawberries cooked in red wine and sugar. Divine.

Two Years!
Yesterday marked our two years as husband and wife, and boy did we spend the day together in pure bliss (naks!). Hubby started our day with him greeting me with a huge bunch of roses. I thought they were 24 all in all (you know, a dozen times two years!), but when I counted them, they were 50 all in all! gash, that was the biggest bouquet I received in my entire life. Hahaha. Such as sweet man. We had a lovely breakfast with our little one, before we went off for work - he in the review center, me at work as usual.
I took half a day off to spend real quality time with my love. He picked me up for lunch and we had buffet lunch in kamay kainan. Yummy. Then we shortly went to the grocery to buy some snacks for the afternoon. We spent the whole afternoon by ourselves, reading our own magazines in between. Hehehe. Then we had dinner at Crowne Plaza, where I ate a lot of seafood. Oysters, lobsters, crabs, sashimi, salmon. Heaven. Plus the steak... yummy juicy done just right. And hubby? Gash, it was bad timing for him because he had some tummy problems. Hahahaha. Just imagine I had to eat for two. harharhar.
Anyway, that was just a simple celebration for us, and i look forward to more years of happiness and love. Happy Anniversary my husband!
PS: Today, I had tummy trouble. Yaiks.

Pacquiao Wins!
I don't care about the buzz I've heard questioning Manny's win (or that the game was "staged," ika nga eh luto). I'm glad he did. At least it made a lot (if not all) of Filipinos happy.

My Gym Experience
After 25 miliion years and 45 million nags from my husband, I finally had the strength and will to go to the gym on the ground floor of our condo to jiggle and shake my booteh. All this ebcause of a lot of people asking how many months am I on the way. Duh, do I really look pregnant? And that pregnant? Grrr.
Anyway, I tried to remember what my gym instructor told me to do before (yes, I do own a gym lifetime membership, only because it was a benefit from my previous company), and tried to focus in exercising. I did try to keep in mind that I really have lose some pounds. 10 minutes in the walker, 2 minutes in the bike (harharhar), and about 2 minutes in that dang hard stepper (another cause of harharhar). Then I went on to lift some weights using those scary equipment. Then of course I got those small weights to work on my saggy arms. One hour later (naks!), I did some yoga stuff... my favortie part of my routine.
I felt good... until i woke up the next day with excruciating pain all voer. I remembered I tried to stretch and all but it must have been not enough because my feet and legs hurt like crazy! It ain't as serious as Plantar Fasciitis but nonetheless lack of stretching (pre- and post-) plus not using the right shoes must have been the culprit.
Ok fine, it's because my body isn't used to exercising. Hmph. Oh well. It won't stop me from going back though. It's quite fun especially if hubby is around. His kisses on the side are nice little incentives. Hahahaha.

Night at Policarpio Street
One evening last week we visited that "famous" Policarpio Street in Mandaluyong. What makes it famous is that every year, all houses are lit with Christmas decor plus a tiangge, much to the delight and amusement of the people. This year however, it was announced that there will be no more tiangge and that only a few houses will participate in the Christmas decorations. We tstill checked it out, and indeed only about 4 houses had Christmasss stuff on. Still, these houses looked amazing with their lights and decor!
Although I doubt that they used energy efficient bulbs and lighting, but still, one would really smile and temporarily forget the hardships of life, and just be glad that it's Christmas.

Redesigning vs Saving
I'm in this phase again where I want to beautify our little nest. See, I'm correct with my "cycle"! Anyway, I've been checking out boutiques, depots, and furniture shops to check out what's new in the home design world (ok, blame it on the Domino book!). been browsing through home design magazines too, and I came across a feature on Daphne Osena's home. I love her place! And I got really green with envy with her bathroom! I told dear hubby that we should redesign and redecorate our bathroom, or at least check out Kohler faucets and change our leaking one. Hahahaha. And as usual, hubby asked if to change our home's look is really a necessity or another want. grr. Well, He's right though. Our place is still new, and as it is, looks nice. And because of the world financial and market condition, yeah... I am thinking twice.
Men and Cars
I'm really trying to understand why my husband is so into taking care of his new "baby." Every single morning, when he wakes up, he goes down to the basement and clean our car. Sometimes, this becomes our cause for LQ (you know, me wanting him in bed, him wanting to make sure his car looks smashing). And now, he's fuzzing about security of the plate number. He wants to buy this car plate protector that's made of glass and that it can securely lock the plate to avoid it being stolen. Oh well, I guess I should let him be. He doesn't have much "luho" anyway.
