How I wish...




One of my greatest dream is to visit Coron, in Palawan. I saw a picture of Coron from a blogger-friend Carlos and curiously I asked him where Coron could be found...gosh, I was shocked that it's in Palawan...in my native land. Imagine a Filipino asking someone who is not from the Philippines? Mas alam pa niya di ba? Well doon ko nalaman yung place and from the way I see it...it's really a getaway paradise for someone who wants to unwind and take some time smelling the roses. My niece and her family went there but unluckily I didn't go with them since I just arrived from Japan that time. I searched in the internet and learned that it's just an hour by plane. I love the place just as I've loved Boracay. I'll go there if my time and my purse permit me to do so...and with my crossed fingers...I just wish...I could go there one day...of course with my family too :)

Patching up...


I always make it a point to compare friendship to gold panning. Wherein gold is separated from silt. There's no such thing as perfect friendship I guess. Me and Sir Rudolf who's a very good friend of mine encountered a difficult situation the past months. In the end he ended up in the middle of the mire we didn't hope would ever happen. Too afraid that he thought I was mad he didn't make any effort to contact me, while me thinking that he left me in the cold was so hurt at that moment. Last night he texted me and told me that he wanted me to come to his house and he'll prepare something for us. He promise to cook sumptuous viands for lunch...only if I would just say yes. I said I don't think I'll be able to commit myself since I am not pretty in the mood that time. Pero the truth was, tampong-tampo na ako sa kanya. He encouraged me a lot. Sweet talk. Hehe. He mistook my answer for a yes. My goodness ano pa ba ang magagawa ko eh tuwang tuwa na yung tao na pupunta ako. I said, bakit nag-oo na ba ako? Wala na-trap na ako. And that lunch rekindled the friendship and had patched a little of our misunderstanding. Ang galing niyang umi-style di ba? :)

Bon Voyage!!!

Woke up early for no reason at all...glanced at my CP's digital clock and saw the date...voila...it's June 6th...the date has come...texted him some you-take-care-hah and I-will-miss-you...blah blah. Wow, he'll be in Singapore any minute now...sarap naman non. Bye bye Makoyskie ! I would like to visit Singapore too, if given a chance, ikagadesu ka. :) I would have been also with my niece Maro, when I've learned that she'll be going to Bangkok next month...told her to get me a ticket right away and...get me a ticket, get me a ticket...sigh...only to call it off when she told me na si Lee lang ang kasama niya...I don't want to ruin their possible honeymooning huh! And I don't want also to look like a gnome between two people in love. Duh!!! Hay naunsiyami ang Bangkok ko. Ayoko na...maybe her next plan daw to visit Vietnam and Cambodia, ayaw sumama ni Lee and I told her ay ayoko diyan parang laging it sounds war. Haha...am sorry yun kasi ang pumapasok initially sa mind ko. She went like, "si tita naman..." Sila ang kasama ko sa Boracay and I tell you, napakasarap nilang kasama sa lakaran...grabe, with little Yndee na super kikay na bata. Maro says she has something to offer...something like galvanic spa...shucks ang presyo, murang mura, pero mukhang pang maharlika pa rin...hahaha...told her am kinda shy of cash today because of the near school opening. Wow, she really goes out of her way to save some nest eggs ha...to fund her getaway traveling with photography.com on the side. Attah girl!!!

Hay, ang sarap magtravel, travel... :)

PS/ Hay ano ba ito, after my migraine and queasy feeling the previous days...eto naman, I got a stiff neck ang aga aga. Hay...can hardly bend it to the left...and with my upset stomach pa...sigh... :(

Two sides of a coin...

Selling Shoes

Two shoe salespeople were sent to Africa to open up new markets. Three days after arriving, one salesperson called the office and said, "I'm returning on the next flight. Can't sell shoes here. Everybody goes barefoot."

At the same time the other salesperson sent an email to the factory, telling "The prospects are unlimited. Nobody wears shoes here!"

All wrapped in thought...again


After rereading A Knight in Shining Armour, I am now starting another Jude Deveraux hit, The Summerhouse. A story about 3 women friends, rather bestfriends, sharing the same birthdate...about to turn forty, celebrating this turning point at a summerhouse in Maine.

Friendship delight...





After some topsy-turvies and never ending packing of things with Makoy...who's so jumpy na at that time, we took a fast lunch at La Piadina's...in Rob's Galle...wow ang sarap grabe... pero it was somewhat a hasty one...la rin...joke...pero I enjoyed a lot...jolly meal. We watched Caregiver, I didn't tell Makoy that I've seen na the movie at baka ma-upset pa siya. I dozed off and on pero d ko pinahahalata, but he gave me a sudden nudge and went like, "napanood mo na noh?" I said, Huh?! (padeadma pa ko) :) Then asked me again if napanood ko na...eh ang hirap magsinungaling eh. I said yes :) Magaling makahalata. I really felt so loggish that time so kahit unethical I gave myself a few spray of my favorite D&G and voila...nawala ang antok ko. After watching the movie I saw the cute and pasaway na member ng Simpson family...right after the entrance of the moviehouse...we took some shots there...for mementoes-sake. Then after some beso-beso for some goodbyes...sobs...he went straight home and I took a cab again going to Santa Lucia. Though tired and exhausted, I still have had to meet Mariz there that time as planned because my CP was contaminated with some virus I guessed. Eh napakadali lang naman nagawa, thanks to Mariz and certain Ate. Nice people. Bravo. I love those kind of people. Anyway, after that I straddled long walks again from the basement of Sta Lu to the entrance of The Grand mall where I rode a jeep going home. Then after a few hours I was home na...sigh...there's no place like home talaga. It was a long day indeed so I slumped onto my bed the moment I arrived home. But it was a pleasant day for me and Makoy too I guess.

I just hope and pray na everything will be fine and dandy for him on his Singapore sojourn.

Happy trip buddy... :)

Lunch date with a friend...

Today is a special day indeed for me and Makoy because we will eat outside...preferably at La Piadina's. He's set to leave on the 6th which is a few days away na lang. So kain kami sa labas...for a few chit chat bago siya umalis.
Our friendship is somewhat new but special because both of us are sometimes masungit and straightforward but true...and friends really make us happier somehow. This is the best thing for bloggers like me...getting to know people in the blogosphere, who later on becomes one of our best pal...and fortunately I got some...

Friskier than ever...


She's back in her old self...friskier than ever. Many thanks to her good vet. She has gained all of her lost weight while still sick. She eats a lot now. And it's great...

PS/ In the inset, a picture of Mishah while dozing on and off, she allows no one to touch her threadbone that smells strawberrylike...my pasalubong to her...leaving it on her bite so nobody can grab it away from her...

Health is wealth indeed!


Keep fruits in the house and eat it as a snack...

Multi-tasker...


Got up with awful headache early at 5, sky still dark...had coffee instead and took a bath hoping it'd be gone before 7. Now I just feel a little lightheaded and hope I'd be fine before hitting the road. My hands are full so I can't afford to get sick much so to feel sick. I have a lot of things to attend to and it will be a long day indeed for me today. I remember this headache had hit me 3 days ago na. And it keeps coming back. Somehow upon ruminating things while lying at my bed, I noticed that my mind was overly anxious tending to shoot around from one problem to another and with those virtual catalogue of problems and always in want to shoot some bolts. So now, how can I possibly give myself some good and decent sleep? It's quite unhealthful, and so that gives me some hurtful headaches. Too many thoughts and concerns make me half-sick always. I tend to make it hard on me and soaked my presleep thoughts to ruin before I tend to drift to dreamville. Thus giving me poor sleep quality. I saw myself in the mirror and it doesn't give me a good look...only dark circles around my eyes and eyebugs, plus this queasy feelings I get.

Will try now, to focus on one matter after the other...not all in one time I guess.
