A Wifey Momma

Mommy and Prince Bendyk

Before I went to bed, I stumbled upon this site and got interested. So I spent a few minutes to get the result of my personality analysis. And guess what?! Everything here is really TRUE! This is really amazing! You might also want to try this one so everybody will know the real YOU!


Cristel Marie is moderately outgoing. Her emotions are stirred by sympathy and heart rendering stories. In fact, she can be kind, friendly, affectionate and considerate of others. She has the ability to put herself into the other person's shoes.

Cristel Marie will be somewhat moody, with highs and lows. Sometimes she will be happy, the next day she might be sad. She has the unique ability to get along equally well with what psychology calls introverts and extroverts. This is because she is in between. Psychology calls Cristel Marie an ambivert. She understands the needs of both types. Although they get along, she will not tolerate anyone that is too "far out." She doesn't sway too far one way or the other.

When convincing her to buy a product or an idea, a heart rendering story could mean a great deal to her. She puts herself in the same situation as the person in the story, yet she will not buy anything that seems overly impractical or illogical. Cristel Marie is an expressive person. She outwardly shows her emotions. She may even show traces of tears when hearing a sad story.

Cristel Marie is a "middle-of-the-roader," politically as well as logically. She weighs both sides of an issue, sits on the fence, and then will decide when she finally has to. She basically doesn't relate to any far out ideas and usually won't go to the extreme on any issue.



People that write their letters in an average height and average size are moderate in their ability to interact socially. According to the data input, Cristel Marie doesn't write too large or too small, indicating a balanced ability to be social and interact with others.


Cristel Marie is sensitive to criticism about her ideas and philosophies. She will sometimes worry what people will think if she tells them what she believes in. This doesn't mean she won't talk, or that she feels ashamed. It merely means she is sensitive to what others think, regarding her beliefs.


Cristel Marie is talkative. She enjoys talking and socializing. She may talk when there is absolutely nothing important to say. She enjoys speaking.


Cristel Marie has a desire for attention. People around Cristel Marie will notice this need. She may fulfill this need by a variety of ways depending on her own character.


In reference to Cristel Marie's mental abilities, she has a very investigating and creating mind. She investigates projects rapidly because she is curious about many things. She gets involved in many projects that seem good at the beginning, but she soon must slow down and look at all the angles. She probably gets too many things going at once. When Cristel Marie slows down, then she becomes more creative than before. Since it takes time to be creative, she must slow down to do it. She then decides what projects she has time to finish. Thus she finishes at a slower pace than when she started the project.

She has the best of two kinds of minds. One is the quick investigating mind. The other is the creative mind. Her mind thinks quick and rapidly in the investigative mode. She can learn quicker, investigate more, and think faster. Cristel Marie can then switch into her low gear. When she is in the slower mode, she can be creative, remember longer and stack facts in a logical manner. She is more logical this way and can climb mental mountains with a much better grip.


Cristel Marie is a practical person whose goals are planned, practical, and down to earth. This is typical of people with normal healthy self-esteem. She needs to visualize the end of a project before she starts. she finds joy in anticipation and planning. Notice that I said she plans everything she is going to do, that doesn't necessarily mean things go as planned. Cristel Marie basically feels good about herself. She has a positive self-esteem which contributes to her success. She feels she has the ability to achieve anything she sets her mind to. However, she sets her goals using practicality-- not too "out of reach". She has enough self-confidence to leave a bad situation, yet, she will not take great risks, as they relate to her goals. A good esteem is one key to a happy life. Although there is room for improvement in the confidence catagery, her self-perception is better than average.


Cristel Marie is sarcastic. This is a defense mechanism designed to protect her ego when she feels hurt. She pokes people harder than she gets poked. These sarcastic remarks can be very funny. They can also be harsh, bitter, and caustic at the same time.


Cristel Marie has a temper. She uses this as a defense mechanism when she doesn't understand how to handle a situation. Temper is a hostile trait used to protect the ego. Temper can be a negative personality trait in the eyes of those around her.


Cristel Marie is constantly disappointed when trying to reach success. She works very hard, perhaps harder than most, then just before succeeding, something happens that keeps her from success. Often, Cristel Marie changes to a second project just before the first one is finished, thus failing to complete the first project. Sometimes she changes because she feels she needs a different challenge. Cristel Marie feels dejected. This feeling relates to her failures. This trait is very important in a working situation and in a relationship. She must be handled in a very special way to get the most work from her or to make a relationship last. Concerning this trait, personality modification is available to change her life.


For a graphologist, the spacing on the page reflects the writer's attitude toward their own world and relationship to things in his or her own space. If the inputted data was correct Cristel Marie has left lots of white space on the left side of the paper. Cristel Marie fills up the rest of the page in a normal fashion. If this is true, then Cristel Marie has a healthy relationship to the past and is ready to move on. The right side of the page represents the future and Cristel Marie is ready and willing to get started living now and planning for the future. Cristel Marie would like to leave the past behind and move on.

Looking great everyday is something that we, women, are wishing for. But there are times when we tend to forget that there are certain ways that can transform us into something different, something unique, and something that we all wanted to become. It all starts from within, and reflects on the outside appearance that only us have the right to decide what we want for ourselves. Wearing eyeglasses is one thing that we would resort to when our sense of sight is getting worst. But then again, it must not hinder us from remaining cool and vibrant as before.

Quick Escape

Why is the title, "quick escape?" Well, it's because I asked my two boys to change their clothes for we are gonna dine out tonight. I dunno, I am just so tired the whole day working with this techie. So I thought it wouldn't hurt if I give myself some break even for just a while.
Alright, it's already past 6:00 in the evening so we really had to hurry up. We first dropped by at WOF because Bendyk was pissing me off whenever he asks for something that he seems can't wait to have it or do it! Arrrghhhh! After 2 rides, and our race with hubby, we went downstairs for our dinner. It's getting late and some of the stores are starting to clean the area. We were supposed to be eating at Jollibee because it's Bendyk's wish. But we decided to leave the area because my supposed to be dinner, spag was no longer available at that time. As for the chicken I only want breast or thigh part, but they only have wing parts. darn!
Our last resort was Graceland, but it seems that Bendyk wanted to complain of his french fries. Was it camote or potato? Uhuh! It doesn't taste good and I pity my son for that. No one can really beat the taste of Jollibee's and McDo's french fries...
Anyway, need to work now...I have to so I can get back the money I spent for my dinner treat tonight hahaha! Yea, I've been making my expenses my inspiration so I can drive myself to work every time lolz!
Ciao!

Hubby was about to leave the house, but I stopped him. Nah! I didn't ask him to stay. I just told him to wait for me and Bendyk because we're going out with him. I dunno why I suddenly felt an urge to go out and see what's with the outside world now. Yeye, it seems that I have been stuck here for a year, lolz!
So there, we went out. I'm already starving but hubby has to go to LBC first to send his report. After that, we ate out at Graceland for a change. I've had enough with Jollibee and I am already missing "halo-halo". After filling our tummy we went straight to LCC Mall for Bendyk's playtime at WOF and had some groceries for our week-long supply.
It felt so good to be back at the outside world. And I wish I have enough time to stroll around the malls. You see, my feet are itching for malls hahaha! I am just trying to fix my schedule for my next trip to the outside world, lolz! Wish me luck!

I got an invitation from my mom's cousin, but I consider as my cousin-friend, Amy. We are of the same age, so we spent our childhood happily together with mom's bro. who also happens to be the same age. Going back to the invitation, I was so very happy to learn that Rianne Nicole has actually turned one. Time really flies too fast. I gave birth to Bendyk, and after 2 years Amy also gave birth to her first baby. The party was held at Graceland Legazpi. It was just a simple party, but the kids had really enjoyed especially my Prince Bendyk.


Bendyk went there with his 'mima' (my mom) while I was busy choosing for a nice gift for Rianne Nicole. She's such an adorable, cute little girl. I was actually going to get that pink Princess traveling bag for her since she'll be traveling with her mom to Manila where her dad is working. It was just unfortunate of me because the display was already dusty, and I want something new. There's no extra stock according to the sales lady. So instead of settling to a not-so-okay stuff, I just decided to buy the Winnie the Pooh stuff toy. I have no more time left to find for something else so I grabbed and paid for it.

Happy Birthday images

At the party, I saw Bendyk having a great time with the other kids. He was roaming around the play area, and even rode on the merry-go-round. Perhaps, the music made him want to dance so he went to the center and had his moves. He didn't mind the people staring at him. After that the party started with games. Bendyk won for three consecutive games and he was so excited to receive the prizes. While I was looking at my little boy, I somehow felt relieved and filled with Joy for he's really growing fast. I can't imagine that the baby I was carrying with two tight arms before has now grown into a little boy. He is really the best gift that God had given me. He continuously draws a smile on our faces with his unique gestures. He can be naughty at times, but I'm grateful that he has the sweetness and thoughtfulness in his heart. He would hug and kiss you when you are pissed off. He would not want to eat without me or his dad on the table. He knows when and how to behave. Oh, I'm getting emos na hehehe!


After the games, we all went to our tables to fill our tummy with oh-so-yummy foods. And we also had our dessert. Before the party was over, Gweeny arrived at the party and the kids ran onto him except for Bendyk. Yea, my little prince was afraid of Gweeny. He told me that he doesn't want to go near Gweeny. I comforted him and tried to explain that Gweeny is friendly like Jollibee. Well, he stopped me by saying that "he's not Jollibee." huhuhu!


I just hate it when Gweeny approached Bendyk while my boy is leaning on the table near me. What happened? Well, Bendyk has accidentally bumped his head on the corner of the table, trying to run away from the approaching Gweeny. Grrr!!! Of course, my prince cried a lot. I dunno if it's because of the aching head or the fear of getting near to Gweeny.

But all in all, we had a great time at the party. I am so happy that Rianne Nicole has already turned one, and by next year, she can already join the kids and my bendyk in their playtime moments.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NICOLE!

A Robot Momma...

It's been a tiring week again. I had to make a hole in my couch for 10 hours a day. My blogging session is excluded in that time range so I really have to make a daily time plan to meet everything that I have to deal with everyday. And that of course will include my time for my Prince Bendyk, his bubble bath, food/milk intake, napping hours, and pre-education; keeping our home neat and organized is also another thing that I do daily; I also make it a point that I alot time for myself and for my hubby...
Now let me do the math...if in a day there's 24 hours, how long will my sleeping time be? If hubby is at home, maybe I can sleep for 7 1/2 hours; if he's out of town, I can only sleep for 6 hours. Why? Hubby is the one in-charge for the breakfast and dinner preparation so I have nothing to worry about my anacondas hahaha! But if he's not at home, yours truly usually do suffer from nosebleeding (lolz!) thanks for the "instants"...
Enough of the complaints hahaha! I am loving it though. I'd rather be busy, playing 3 roles (yaya to Bendyk, muchacha @ home, freelancer) everyday. I feel lika a superwoman hahaha! And mere the work inspires me more to stay for that long hours as I am able to triple the income to that of in a regular office. So I think I really have to start making a daily time plan...soon!
Anyway, been spending much of my time here. I just dropped by to relax after long hours of working. It's time to get back to work again kristala! Ciao!

Hubby is on his way to Manila today. They will be having a meeting with the boss. And so Bendyk and I are alone again. We are going to spend the night without hubby, so I am a bit afraid. Unlike before, hubby's cousin stayed with us every time he's on his trip. But now that the classes begin, I don't wanna disturb any of his cousins just to be our "security guard" hahaha! God is with us so I feel at ease spending the night with only the two of us.
But Bendyk seemed forgotten that his dad did kiss him before he left. So when he woke up, he hurriedly looked around and went to the sala and screamed, "asan dadee ko?!" The next thing that happened was a 'lil boy crying and a mom who can't find the right words to comfort him. I just decided to treat him out for a Jabee treat. We went to LCC Mall, ate and strolled around. I also bought him another disposable basketball ring/ball so he won't miss his dad, and the Little Genius Math Flash Cards that I am planning to use for his pre-education every Sunday. I'll post the photo when I got a chance.
Till here for now as I still have tons of tasks to work on...ciao!

Home-Made Lounge

I uber heart interior designing since I was just a kid. I used to tweak almost everything in our old home. I rearranged the sofas, wall decors, beds, etc. almost every week. Mom and dad were used to it, seeing a new living room, dining room and bedroom every time they left and came home. I dunno how it started, I just love to stay at home while the other children were busy playing. You'd often find me locked in my room, holding a pen and a clean sheet of paper. I used to make floor plans and interior designs, and later on was able to learn the basics of architectural perspectives. I guess it all started from there and since I was just a kid, I was using our home as my sample creations.

I missed those times when I enjoy myself with my so-called playmates: my pen and clean sheet of papers. And now that I am left here, I am itching to do my passion...

Why "home-made"? We haven't bought our own lounge set because of four reasons:

(1) We are located in a calamity prone province so I am afraid that should a super typhoon hit us again (hope not pls...) it would be hard for us to save such a big set of investment. I would surely cry a lot with just the thought of wasting a big amount of money.

(2) We don't have our own home to stay for years, so it would be hard for us to move from one home to another with a big lounge set. It could only mean another expenses for a truck rental fee. Yea, I hate wasting money.


(3) It is not included in our budget list in the coming months. With all the monthly expenses that we have to finance, I'm sure it will leave us broke huhuhu!


(4) We won't be staying here in the province for many years. We are already planning to transfer in Manila either this year or early next year. Meaning, carrying a very bulky cargo is the least thing we would wish to do. Having it transported through a cargo carrier would definitely cost us a lot.

And so for practicality purposes, I decided to apply my "creativity" hahaha!


Here it is...


Our "home-made" lounge
MATERIALS:

Lounge...

Unused camping bed
Extra single mattress
Zebra printed single bedsheet
2 heavy hotdog pillows

Side rack...

Mom and dad's old TV side rack (Nageffort me tanggalin yung screws just to separate it)
My witch broomstick (I didn't throw it after the party because the tiny set of branches is expensive)

Big Fabric-made butterfly (I got it from my aunt's wedding cake stand hahaha!)
Year of the rat treasure chest figurine

Photo Album-Frame

Paper Weight (filled with sands) Shark

And my prince Bendyk uber heart it too like I do...




So our TV/Movie marathon is much more comfortable now...


Until next time...ciao!

Whew! It was a tiring day for me...been sleeping late at night (oh! it's almost 3 a.m.) for the entire week. I woke up late at around 11:00 a.m. today and immediately seated in front of my computer to meet my deadline arrrggghh! It's just a good thing that I finished it in half an hour. Had to go to my former office to get my moolah hahaha! Yea, my last pay that is. With all the expenses that we have monthly, it's indeed a great help for us.

Anyway, we waited for hubby to arrive from his trip. While waiting, mom and my youngest brother came over at Mama's house (Hubby's granny) and brought some imported choc'lets to Bendyk and clothes (pasalubong from mom's uncle in the U.S.). I was actually surprised that mom visited us since we're not in good terms before we left. I was only expecting my youngest brother when he texted me that he'll be coming over to play with Bendyk. Well, I am so much happy that mom and I are okay now. She must have realized what I meant when we had our last conflict.

I'm still the soft-hearted person who would always have the heart melt so soon. So far, so good. I just keep on praying that may God help us to get our family back into shape again. I just dunno about my dad, who I heard enjoying in other's arms. Too bad. And that hurts me more, and I guess much more to my mom. Sigh! Anyway, I pity my mom so much that I wanted to help her despite the conflict we had a month ago. So there I was, I didn't wait for any word; I just helped her even for simple things. And I told my brother to come with us for we are going to shop for his school needs. I so much heart and pity my youngest brother because at a very young age, he already witnessed how ironic a broken home is. As her ate, I want to give him the best as long as I can just to let him feel the love and care of a family. My bro. who's in Manila right now and I are much closer now unlike before that we were like cat and dog. We talked about our plans for the family, for mom and our youngest brother. And it really feels good that we are talking that way. We are just hoping that everything will be alright. As for our dad, we keep on hoping and praying that he may realized how he's been hurting us. We are not closing our doors. He is still our dad. Hope he would change soon. Hayyyzzz....

Anyhoo, the day went well. We are already starving so we just had our dinner at Jollibee (I know, I told myself to limit from spending much for impracticality...oh well, hahaha! tomorrow nah again, lolz!) At National Bookstore, I have chosen a dozen of Disney cartoon characters notebooks. But when I showed them to my bro. he just shrugged his shoulders off. Yea, he didn't like any of them. He told me that he's not a kid anymore. I was laughing then when I looked at him and realized that our family baby has "completely?" grown-up. He told me that he'd rather want the Ragnarok covers than the Disney cartoons. So the ate can't do anything about it but to let him choose what he really wants. While Bendyk who's already holding his new set of crayons keeps bragging his dad with matching tears to get him the Pokemon coloring book. Oh dear, Pokemon may be free on TV when you watch it, but this time it costs too much for a coloring book. How did he find it, anyway?! He just looked around and stumbled it on one of the shelves! Grrr!
After paying for the school supplies, my bro. told me that he doesn't have a bag. Oh my! another expenses again??!!! Mom bought him a Montanara bag 5 months before the class had ended. Hayyzzz! I almost scold him thinking that he didn't take good care of it. Kasi naman tong pasaway naming bro.dinala pala sa Manila yung bag! Grrr!!! Relax! Relax! Yaka pa hahaha! So there we were buying a Nike bag at the mall. The thrifty me would wish to buy the cheapest bag. But hello?! Until when naman kaya yun sa bro. ko?! Dati monthly kung magpalit ng bag sa dami ba naman kasing books pinapadala ng titser ngmumukha na ngang pagong bro. ko...hayyyzz! So instead of buying a "disposable" bag I'd rather go for a high quality bag na lang, long lasting naman. Eh, long lasting naman kaya datung ko? Waaahhh! Shower me with riches naman mga millionaires and billionaires jan, lolz!

And then we had some groceries before we headed our way out of the mall. My youngest bro. sleeps here with us for tonight. They just had fun coloring Bendyk's book while watching their fave "Joaquin Bordado and Lobo" I'm also an avid fan hehehe! So no arguments...lolz!

Hey! Hey! You gotta have some break 'cause there are a lot of things to be done...I almost forgot. Hayyyzz! The procrastinator again, lolz! I dunno where to start, I don't even know how...So let me have some focus now. The procrastinator is signing off while the busy bee will be signing on...Goodnight! Mwaaahhh!

Hubby is Back!

Hubby called me up on the phone at 10 a.m., informing me that he's still in Cubao, waiting for a bus. Whoooat?! Of course, I was surprised because he told me that he'll be at the bus terminal earlier today, which he actually did. Even him dunno why a huge number of passengers was in a long line to buy tickets. It's not peak season, ayt? Poor hubby! Anyway, he is finally back. He arrived just a while ago at around 12:15 a.m. and we had some chitchat about his trip and also told me that he had chatted with my brother and my aunt's family during his stay.

He might be back in Manila by next week. Of course, Bendyk and I wish to come with him. But it won't be possible because of our tight budget. We have to limit ourselves from spending too much for nonsense these days, especially that the prices of products and services today is getting higher, huhuhu! All we have to do now is save, save, save...(hope I can, lolz!)

It's getting late...betta go to sleep now. Nyt2! (mownin'!)

It's been a long time that I have been keeping this pain. And each day, the pain is getting deep that I feel like carrying a heavy burden. At some point in my life, I asked God, what's missing? What has to be done? Until I finally realized that I need peace. Peace within me...

Yes, months had passed and all those times I was hurt, so much hurt. I never expected this to happen because all I want is to make friends, a lot of them. But life has full of twist and turns, trying to test everything in us, even if it involves people. December, January, February, March, April, and now May has come. More than 5 months of keeping it here...right here deeply buried in my heart. I wanna make revenge when I was terribly hurt, but I didn't. I remained silent because I don't wanna involve people. I kept it to myself. But then again, the thrill of testing everything in me and so with them was triggered. Yea, I must admit that I wasn't able to control my temper; I blew fire, so hot that I hurt some people too just the way they hurt me.

But when will this end? That was bothering me even months ago. I was just ignoring the thought and mind my own. But God seems to tickle my sanity, letting me do something which I knew would be hard on my part. So here I am, wondering if I am on the right track. And knowing that it's our Almighty God who guides me all throughout these endeavors, I'm certain that I'm doing myself not just a favor, but helping myself to get closer to HIM once again. He is once my bestfriend, and I am missing him so much. And I want HIM to restore my heart as HIS own sacred place.

Le'mme share Biblical passages about forgiveness...

How often should two friends forgive each other? In Matthew 18:21-35 Jesus says, "Not seven times; I say seventy times seven times."

--That's biblical code for "indefinite and unending." If two people are serious about making their friendship last, they must always be open to forgiving each other.
In a good friendship we can learn how to get along with the larger community and help build up the Body of Christ. When two friends forgive each other, they are getting a taste of God's own unconditional love.


Somehow, I am enlightened and realized that getting through bumps and grinds in any relationship, no matter how perfect it is, is just but a spice of life. In fact, even the closest of friends have their trying times too. We are just human, and that clearly speaks as to why all these happen. All we need in times like this is FORGIVENESS. Otherwise, PRIDE will take over. And if we'll just let it that way, it can surely build a small spat which can lead to something that no one would wish for-the end of friendship.



Before, my own stubborn pride is causing a deadlock to the issue. I want her, I want them to say "I'm sorry" first before I forgive them because I can certainly grant them the forgiveness. But whether they are the ones to reach out to me or I am the one to reach out to them, I guess, there's nothing wrong about it. As a matter of fact, there are no rules or shall we call a protocol on who should go first. And God is whispering in my heart, "Just do it!" And I just did. I am happy now that a part of my heart is free from pain. I know it'll take me time to clear all the pain that I've been keeping inside not just for these people I have just forgiven, but there are still some people whom I already forgiven but they aren't just aware of it.


I am just telling myself that I need to take one step at a time. God is with me all the time and I am sure of that. He comforts me when I am all alone and sad. He lifts me up when I am down. He forgives me when I've done something wrong, whether to myself, my family, my love-ones, my friends and others whom I do not intend to hurt, or unconsciously, I have hurt.

Let us just ask ourselves,
"How often have we sinned and turned away from God?" But haven't we realized it that God forgives us and is actually reaching out to embrace us. And now, I want to say that indeed, God is our ultimate FRIEND! He is my BESTFRIEND who doesn't just show me HIS untiring love, but also let me feel that LOVE especially now that I am welcoming HIM once again. Thank you My Lord! Thanks to you my BESTFRIEND!


P.S.

Peace be with you all!

Hubby woke me up early this morning to prepare for his trip. He'll be attending a meeting with his boss, coordinator and his co-auditors all over Luzon. He was told days ago about the meeting and all the while we thought that the meeting will only take a day. But just this morning when his boss texted him to bring clothes for a 2-day meeting. Sigh! I'll miss him as much as Bendyk will miss him. He'll meet my bro. at Philtranco, Cubao tonight. Hope they can have some clean fun hahaha!


How we wish we could come with him, stroll around the malls in Metro Manila, especially the newest tourist spot, Manila Ocean Park. But because of our tight budget, we just have to wait for his next trip to Manila. Hayyzzz! I miss Manila, the huge malls, the heavy traffic, gigantic buildings especially the sweat-free elevators, the busy street vendors, and the like.



Soon, I'll be coming home, Manila, Manila...hahaha! napakanta na, lolz! Anyway, I hope and pray that hubby may have a safe trip to and fro Manila. While Bendyk and I are left here but tonight and the following night, hubby's cousin will be staying here with us.

We'll miss you hubby! See yah soon...mwah!

I can finally get in touch with my techie-buddy again. I can't live without this hahaha! Exaj! Anyway, this will just be a quick post 'cause I'm not feeling well today. You see, yesterday until midnight I was busy packing and unpacking our stuffs. As what I have mentioned in my previous post, we had our "lipat-bahay" scene again, arrrgghhh! Yea, t'was tiring. And during times like that, I needed my techie-buddy to back me up, soothe my fingers and vision to help me get back into my normal state. Whew! Relocation, relocation, relocation would mean another set of expenditures. And I just hate it especially when I already paid for my internet broadband connection and yet I still have to pay for the relocation fee.


Oh man! What's going on here?! Alright let's just forget all the troubles of life these days. The important thing is, I am settling everything one step at a time. So there, I went to Smart Wireless Centre although it was raining, paid for the relocation fee, and woooaaahh! I just hate it when I get too excited, and upon learning that I had to wait for 3 days to 1 week for them to set everything up...What are you talking about miss?! I dragged myself in that wireless center amidst the rain and you were telling me that I had to wait that long?! Pa*sy*t!



Well, God still loves me. Kuya, the tech support of Smart Wireless Centre who came over here early in the morning got back to help me out of this trouble. I hate waiting for days just to restore my broadband connection. So at last! I finally have with me my techie-buddy's internet! Yipee! Need to cuddle my pillow now. I badly needed a nap 'cause my head is aching and in just a while I think I'll be suffering from colds and flu. Sniff! Sniff! Blame it to the rain! Sigh!





The whole day was spent searching for a house for rent. Yea I know, I know, public transportation is on strike today and will end til midnight. But the eagerness to find a new haven for us makes me hard-headed again. Well, we've been searching for a studio-type to rent for almost 2 days already. A studio-type home because it'll only be Bendyk, hubby and me who will be staying there. We're not that big to occupy the entire space at home so it'll be more practical to choose a not-so-big home.

But we didn't find any at Barriada so even if it's raining, hubby and I walked straight to Our Lady's Village, wishing to finally find a studio-type home. You see, we have to leave this house even though it's so big and fully furnished for us. There are just some people who are so "makakapal" to stay here even if they are not welcome anymore. These two people do wear thick faces to stick and stay here despite the fact that I am sending them away of this house since they aren't actually renting here and the fact that the woman is supposed to be with her kids whom she left at her mom's custody which I just knew days ago. And worst, mom is the one feeding them since the man has no more job. D'oh! Well, mom can't send them away 'cause she's always the hospitable woman I know. Arrrggghhh! It's a different story! So better get out of this house before I blow fire again! I am trying to hold my temper, but staying here for a few more days would certainly provoke me to give them a new set of hit! Darn! Uber sa kapal!

How I wish we could have our home which we can call our own. Sigh! When will riches knock on us? I just wish hubby can already have his promised house and lot from her aunt. Well, it'll take two more years I guess and it'll be in a faraway land, right within the vicinity of their farm-resort in Silang, Cavite. Waaah! Super layo naman nun sa kabihasnan. ==> : (

But we need a home now. And I mean it ASAP. Luckily, as we walked through Our Lady's Village today, we found that "House 4 Rent" posted on the tree. And good thing, the landlord as well as his family is hospitable to let us rent the house. It wasn't actually a big one as compared to this house we currently stay in. I guess it's only half of the size of this house. But it's already good for us. It has 1 bedroom, living room, kitchen, dining space, and comfort room. We also have our own small gate and the windows have screens and grills. And the monthly rent, which is 2,500php is not that expensive so it'll be easy on our pocket. Practicality has to be with us these days especially that the prices of products and even services are gradually increasing to our dismay.


So tomorrow will be another "lipat-bahay" scene. Hayyyzz!

Today, May 8, 2008 is my hubby's birthday! Yipee! He's now 24 years old. Tumatanda ka na hubby nyahaha! So what's for today? Well, I was actually planing days before his birthday that we'll be having a simple pool party. It was actually a surprise gift from me. But since I've already talked to his cousins about the plan, they forgot to zip their mouth when hubby came home, arrrggghhh! I knew it from the start that he won't like it. He hate spending too much for himself, even if it's for his birthday. Sigh!

Anyway, I just gave him a new Puma sneakers as my gift. I hate his fave Chuck Taylor sneakers. Well, he likes my gift so no need to argue, lolz!


Mah gift for his 24th birthday...

So today, we'll just go out for a date (kiligar hahaha!) We decided to watch a movie at the theater, a 'lil shopping and dine out. I'll also buy him a cake so he can make a wish and blow his candle...Yey! And oh, a cake would be a good "pulutan" for tonight. Yes! We're going to celebrate here (yes, right here)...2 pairs of beer bottles will do, a lampshade on and with background music. Oh how romantic! I know he'll love it...

So till here for now peeps...I'll be having my date with hubby (kiligar nyahahaha!)
