Attending COA Party...

So on December 18, my bosses from COA invited me to join their christmas party at San Fernando Pampanga. I'm the only staff assigned in COA department so I got worried about travelling alone due to some issues but I really wanna be there and I couldn't afford to miss the party...so off I traveled by bus to Pampanga all by myself. 

First of the reasons why I was determined not to miss the event was because I love the auditors. They are all such very nice people. More than anything they support their staff in whatever career choices they take even at their loss. They supported me when I needed to leave them because I got hired by the bank and accepted me with open arms again when I wanted to come back.

Second. One of the auditors is about to retire because he had reached 65 years old this month and since this is his last month at work, I really saw to it I was there.

Third.  COA auditors don't normally stay in one government unit too long. Sometimes they stay only for six months. They are always being relocated somewhere else. In fact, I have a feeling by next year, my present bosses will be replaced. Thus, I collect memories as much as I can.

Auditors and some guests..most of them are CPAs...

The party was a ton of fun...it started with a lunch out at Matutina's with the big bosses of COA sitting alongside us wtf. Then it went on to COA office with all the yummy food in the world served on the table. We had few parlor games which only one of them I won. Then a little tribute to the retiring auditor and finally the traditional exchange gift.

Their gifts to me that I'm so loving....

So the party ended at five oclock and by five oclock...I still had time to kill shopping at SM which was having a sale that day. Such serendipity! Thus, at 50% off, I got my son a branded green tshirt and a white short which he had worn to their Christmas party dance number on the 20th.

Party for the kids..

Look who were my visitors in the office...taaadaa!

The company sponsored kids' Christmas party in the office exclusively for employees’ kids. When I told my son about it, he got so excited, he even cleared his schedule up lolz and reserved that day for the party. But when the day came..I knew instantly that he did not enjoy it. Maybe because it was boring. It was literally boring. Plus we had to go out for lunch because I only got like one piece of food pack only for the kid not knowing there were separate food for the parents. After lunch, father and son insisted to go home that I just had to let them.

The good thing? I met some of my officemates’ spouses and their kids. And ofcourse, I was able to show husband and son what I do and where I work.

The party..

Some of the presents I got from the bosses...

Christmas this year..

I can’t believe Christmas is over. Today is just a day after Christmas but we already need to report for work. No excuses. I’m still feeling the aftershocks of it all though, and I swear to god nanlalambot pako. Nope, I did not drink any alcohol last night but all parts of my body are kind of painful. As expected I came late for work today. Good thing I’m not normally tasked to do heavy loads of paper works unlike before when the most loads of work came during year ends. Thus, I have the time of my life to update this blog. Because I have to. You know, my sister keeps on buggin me about the pictures.

Our whatsapp conversation went like this:

Me: So how was your Christmas? Merry Christmas!

Sister: Where are the pictures? THE. PICTURES.

What the heck sis? Let me procrastinate a bit! Okay you win, pictures at the bottom shall be all yours!

But before that, bear with me as I tell you the stories behind those pictures. Let start off with the food we had on Christmas eve, which was not that much. We just learned the meaning of the word ENOUGH. This time we don’t wanna see spoiled food stored in the kitchen days after Christmas.

So for this year, I bought the must-haves keso de bola and ham. Also the family’s traditional pork and beef stew for main dish. I also cooked spaghetti and made little kebabs out of the ham and keso de bola with marshmallow to attract the kids ofcourse. My sister made maja plus my mother’s version of leche plan for desserts. Ooops I almost forgot the 40 inched ice cream lolz. Did that even sound enough? Well believe it or not, we prepared less this time compared to last year.

We spent the whole Christmas eve at home and the whole Christmas day at the inlaw’s house. We played with our niece and nephews in law and after we had lunch we just all slept our tiredness away. It was almost night time when we got back home, ate some leftovers and then went to bed.

So that was how we spent and enjoyed Christmas. As for the pictures...wait no more sis as your agony is about to end! Lotsa pictures for you!

Puregold Grocery Shopping..

There are many things I could do in a rush but not christmas grocery shopping. I could buy the meat and vegies at the wet market even at the last second but no way would i want to queue up just to get near the cashier at the grocery stores like last-minute shoppers do. 

Christmas would never be complete without some grocery shopping so three days before christmas..off the five of us went to the nearest puregold which is at floridablanca. Because it's a newly opened store, we just got curious and decided to buy the groceries there so everything we need would be available right in time for christmas eve. 

The store is too small though..I don't really like it. I will not recommend it. It's still better at sm supermarket or other spacious puregold out there but not that one. Luckily we were able to find most of the items we need which is our only mission. Thus after shopping at SM and now this, our cash is already reduced by 75%. Tears. I have only like few small bills to give for the godkids. The good part is that all my bills are brand new! Fresh from the banko central lolz. 

The kids are always the bosses. Remember..breaking kid's hearts on christmas is very very illegal. Don't even think about it. So without further delay..here are the pictures I took during that day. Enjoy sis...this is for you. You're welcome :)

Kids Christmas Party 2013

This has been the second christmas party I posted in this blog. If you missed the first one..click here. Looking a year back I can clearly tell how they changed physically. The kids have grown faster than I thought. Specially the girls. My nieces are outgrowing my son when it comes to height. Have you noticed that? Well I guess girls grow tall a bit faster than boys atleast during this stage? But soon in some points..it would be the other way around. Agree?

This picture from last year's christmas party is the sign.

And then from December 20's christmas party.

If you notice these are all taken at the house. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get pictures at school because the party was timed the same day as our office christmas party. Very disappointing that I did not see them perform in their dance costumes.

So there, enjoy the few shots I managed to take despite of the busy schedule that day. A bunch of activities up next..so watch out for those. There are really a lot to look forward to these holidays that I hope this blog could keep up lolz. Happy holidays guys!

Christmas Shopping..

I'm almost done shopping yay! Thanks to deals i got online because i'm super cheap like that. Seriously, what being jobless for almost three years taught me was to maximize my money to its highest value possible. Doing this, depriving my family of their needs and wants ain't no longer a choice even on a very tight budget. Thus, i always see to it we give the mall a visit pag may time lolz. Buset!

Going back to online deals. I thought i should share to you how it went for me. So one of the deals i availed was this smac deals from SM. They have a website where you have to register using your sm advantage card informatiions. Once registered, you can choose deals of your choice, sm branch to redeem your items from and payment method of your choice. Having an online bank account like i do is better as you can pay anytime faster and safer. Note that most of the deals go out of stock few hours after posting time which is every midnight of mondays until fridays only. 

At first I was unsure whether to avail this parisian shoes from sm. I thought their products are mostly heels and wedges that i don't really like. I only wear rubber shoes, loafers and flats if i really have no other choice. To be sure then, i researched about parisian. Good enough they have loafers and flats. So yes..on I went. 1500 worth of brand new shoes for only 750! 

So i ended up buying three pairs of flats whaat? This picture is one of them. I never thought my ugly feet would look good on flats until i tried them on. What the fuck...since when i turned so kikay? But really parisian shoes are pretty on my feet, they are sooo cute and comfy too. Even the first time i wore them..my feet did not complain lolz. I felt i was barbie what the hell?

I also got deals for my husband and ofcourse for my son. Plus some toiletries from watson...all at 50% off! Thus, after all the discounts and the sale, i got total of around 5,000 pesos savings. Imagine the cashier's pain lolz. No really, the cashier went crazy about me showing her handful of printed vouchers bwahaha. Who could get any wiser than that?

Seriously though, at the end of the day, these are just all material things that do not last. Memories and joy do, yes? Hey, I have just finished watching pepito manaloto. Chito's song got me..that's all. I fell inlove with the lyrics that I immediately researched youtube. Soo catchy...i know you will like it too. The melody is just ahh..i wanna sing it..right now..calling my guitarist friends...sham and jopam i need you hehe. (Wtf even your names rhyme?) Check this video out now guys...very timely for Christmas.

There you go my friends, two posts in a day what the fuck...i need to get a life. Merry Merry Christmas to you all! I sent hugs and kisses to your address. No matter what we must find many ways to enjoy the holidays. My pledge is to be extra sweet to everybody. Note to self..no mood swings please.

Flashback High School..

  

I can't keep personal stuff long enough. I value sentimental things but because i'm always forgetful, i lose them all the time. Childhood and school photos for instance. They're all gone now. But hey..look what I found! 

I saw this graduation picture on our highschool group facebook page. One of my classmates posted it but among many pictures...i only snatched three that bring back tons of memories. Can you recognize me here? Spot the darkest girl..that's me lolz. Gotta love that hair though. Second to the bottom left...was that sir agkis? I love this teacher, he gave me the highest score in one of our essay tests in physics. Excuse the pride but what seldom happens i never forget lolz. Oh the teacher in red...serious and cranky she used to be even when cracking jokes in between discussions. A joker in serious face is a lot more hilarious, me thinks haha. Crushes..i had long list of..infact i can see five of them in this picture. I was secretly crushing on them, something i never told anyone about not even my friends. I'm discreet like that because i always thought i was too ugly and they were too cute for me. One time one of them complimented i got pretty brown eyes though <insert fireworks here> loloz..ooops sorry my reputation. If i could just bring back time when i could just think about boys, principal, curfew, quizzes, prom. Even one day only to get away from the real world.

I'm not sure whether or not i was in the bottom left picture showing drum and xylo practice. I felt the memories just the same. Those fine trees were captured though..yay for the fine trees!

OMG this trio! A picture really tells a thousand words. One of them is the one i was referring in my previous post..click here and here. Haha I wasn't really sure if my friends knew about that whirlwind past. You wont spill my little secret, will you? Lolz. See..even a very stupid short love story as this deserves a page in this blog. All the people i got along with actually. Even enemies. Whether they like it or hate it.

Attending a mass..

So today marks pagibig fund's 33rd anniversary. All employees were treated free lunch, snacks and even candies! Times like this, I could totally forget my size is getting bigger. I mean who could resist delish beef brocolli? And tasty fish fillet? And crunchy fried chicken? And then for merienda..an oversized clubhouse sandwich? I couldn't. That was the only part i liked though. The mass part was the complete opposite.

You see i don't go to church every sunday..not even once a month..not even inside the office every first friday of the month. Because the company always holds mass during these times. The only times I am forced to attend a mass are during important church occassions. The last one i attended was my friend's son baptism whom i godmothered a year ago. Today is yet another exception. Because today not only is it december's first friday, it is also the company 33rd anniversary and though irrelevant, today being friday the 13th is worth mentioning. Thus, i could not excuse myself.

I have a religion, and it's called catholic. My parents and grand parents passed that thing to me. It's not that i have a thing against being catholic..i just don't believe having a religion has more or less to do with my relationship with God. But you know catholic is the closest to me than many other religions so i just let everything be.

So why the hell i avoid mass you guess? Because i find the whole thing either boring or awkward. I don't know about you but i find the "peace be with you" part and the singing of "our father" song while holding hands part way too awkward. Those parts always make me extra conscious with people near me, even more so those who sit beside me. And how can i forget the communion? When i was young, I got careless the holy chip fell out of my hands even before it went into my mouth. Can you imagine that big embarrassment?

Going back to the present, like i said I was forced to attend the mass. I got caught even before i could escape. Because i delayed getting in the room, by the time i got in, there were only few vacant chairs. The one i occupied was next to one of my lady superiors and to my right was one of my officemates who happen to be a guy i hardly exchange conversation with. Awkwardness. We were about to sing the "our father" when i realized i wore a ring which stone is half the size of my index finger. That's how big it is. I got panicked because as you know, the ring could make my awkwardness times two. I then slowly and secretly took the huge ring off and put it in my pocket.

My awkwardness did not end there. Right before the mass, i grabbed a mirror to check for any eye booger because my eyes are always wet as shit. I noticed my gums and tongue color went noticeably red! Vampire like that. It was due to the lollipops i suckled on an hour ago which my officemate snatched from the giveaways. I swore to god then that i shall not take the communion no matter what. I got saved when noone from our line stood up therefore i was not dragged to take it.

You see, attending a mass is not really my thing, when i was a kid i loathed it when my lola and my parents forced me to go to church because really i never liked the idea of listening to people like priests whose sermons are always based in no other source but the bible. Because the world would get even worse if we are always nice and forgiving..sometimes we gotta teach people some lessons..the hardest way if need be. 

On to other things, i got my dream laptop from my sister. Thank you sis. I couldn't be happier! Now i can make multiple paragraphs and i can post pictures as much as i want. 

Holidays are coming. Have you done your christmas shopping yet? I have but let's reserve that for another post. Be sure to check that out. This is all for now..my pillows are calling me. Goodnight.

Okay...just one picture before I pass out..

christmas deals...

Now that it’s Christmas season..everyth ing I see online is testing my discipline. I’m speaking of Christmas shopping no less! Online stores are driving me crazy these days. My wall is always bombarded with sale, discounts and promos! And yeah they seem to bother me a lot. Sometimes I ask myself whether having a bpi online account still is a good idea. Because it makes every online transaction quick. How quick? Well I can pay a purchase with just a minute or two. Yes it’s possible, whatever time of the day, while lying in bed, while rolling some booger balls. Wtf my reputation. Anyways, I already mentioned some of the shopping sites I have been checking out for great deals every now and then but I have few latest discoveries to share to you. Because I don’t want the monopoly of going nuts alone over amazing, amazing deals. Thus division of my misery. I’m kidding. The truth is I love you and I want you to get the things that you deserve without the guilt feeling of spending too much. I’m normally sweet like this my gosh. Also, we sure need tons of things like food and presents to give to special people, yes? But really you gotta trust me on these things. I’m such a pro. Okay dudes, for moms out there who like to cook and for those who love to eat..now is the best time to buy those ingredients you need for the much anticipated noche buena. You wouldn’t want to queue for high priced grocery items at the super market few days before Christmas, would you? Don’t just settle with the norms when you have better choices. Here is the secret...do you know that Del Monte has an online store? Ssshh they have. The good thing about buying directly from their website is the advantage of paying less for factory priced goodies. Oh my gosh..I’m telling you there’s not even a single occassion we never use del monte product. From fruit cocktails, spaghetti, macaroni, sweetcorn, green peas, juices, to tomato sauce and many other shit, you guys really hit the jackpot here. Now I’m exaggerating hehe. Don’t expect I will post any link though. I don’t entertain sponsored post here. Just use that google search engine now! What the..only from me you know this thing?! Congratulations lolz..you lazy fingers. Now here’s the second interesting secret..dudes listen to this. I have started shopping clothes, shoes and other products I need for Christmas parties and events. The best part is that I only pay for half the price! As of now..I already spent like 3k..thus 6k worth of brand new stuff! Amazing right? Where else to get these from but SM. Nah we haven’t gone to the mall yet. What I got were prepaid vouchers that I will be redeeming starting December one. I already got like how many…about 10 vouchers and counting! Check SMAC DEALS now! I cannot wait to show you what these items are. Well for the pictures, I have yet to get that much needed laptop. Hoping before this year ends, that dream will be made possible. I am such a sucker for deals. Even food vouchers I almost purchased to maximize value of my money, only the last time I checked, the deal is sold out lolz. I guess no thanks but thanks. You might also wanna check okayokay online store and lastly, how can I forget tomato online store. It’s where I bought few pieces of lovely watches and bags. Quality is good but price is affordable. That’s all my friends. Sorry for some wrong grammar and spelling. I don’t have time to edit. It’s time to go out from this boring office. I’m going home now. Byeee.

Hello, I'm back!

How are you all doing? I know I'm missing out on what..a lot. I was busy with things and being absent for like..I don't even know..I already forgot what took me preoccupied. But don't worry here’s me catching up. Let's size up current events first because I know you can't get enough of tsismis. Later part then, let it be all about my latest interests which I know would be interesting to you too. I'm crossing my left and right index fingers. I'm joking lolz, you will never be bad ghosts to me. You are my friends right? To start off, what do you guys think about the government response to the typhoon victims? Is it really SLOW or..or..fuck that..there is no other word to compare! I can't use FAST because the government did not act any fast! Let me change the question, is delay in government’s efforts acceptable? The extremeness of the storm, the damaged roads/airports, the missing in action of local government because they were..well victims too, and all other excuses we can think of. Hmmm..not acceptable period! Ooops..not acceptable exclamation point!!!! A storm is like a poop that I can always predict! Why the fuck this government of all government which country is a storm-prone country lack preparedness in times like this? Why? This is the government who told us that super typhoon was gonna uproot trees and rip out roofs. They knew all along what’s gonna happen to trees and roofs. So how the hell did they not know those mess were gonna block the roads? Where were those mess supposed to go? Fly away into space? Where is plan B? and C? If I was incharged, I could have snatched ampatuan’s backhoes and placed them, their operators and tons of fuel at safest place. Heck, even ampatuan could bury many bodies faster even before the police could arrive. That’s what you call well preparedness! Tsk. Didn’t they know those areas hit by the typhoon are islets? They should have prepared for the aid to be accessible within the island. If they have to build a tsunamiproof, stormproof, earthquakeproof, fuckproof, whateverproof food storage within the area, they should have done that at any cost! Zero casualty my ass! Now dudes, this whole pacquiao tax thing vs BIR. I’ve heard a lot of people siding with pacquiao on this. I could understand that, you know pinoy’s EQ is above ordinary. Pacquiao brought victory, pride and hope to us so we are in return excuse him which is not doing our country any good. I salute the head of BIR for doing its job! For going after tax evaders whoever the fuck they may be. Even if it is the Pope! Now let’s dig on this issue some more. I saw pacquiao showing IRS tax returns to reporters (documents needed to avoid double taxation) which he said he already submitted to BIR. I was like, the BIR stamped logo..come on manny baby show it! Heck they showed no stamp. I got disappointed. Another thing, this Bob Arum. Did somebody tape his mouth yet? Because he needs to shut up. The moment he said this problem is between BIR and IRS and that the only solution to this issue is for BIR to ask IRS copy of pacquiao’s tax returns, I turned the TV off! It is the responsibility of the tax taxpayer to accomplish copy of his IRS return if he wants to use it for tax reduction. Why would the government act in pacquiao’s behalf? Other taxpayers are doing it, why not pacquiao? Many people said the government should go after the corrupt officials first before pacquiao. Why are we like this? If someone is doing something other than what we want, we are like always suggesting them to focus on other priorities instead? Do we really want them to do things one at a time? BIR is infact already looking into details whether people like napoles are paying the right taxes based on their declared and acknowledged properties. Because BIR can only base their tax computations on declared assets if I’m not mistaken. How could BIR charge tax on property with unknown owner? There is another government unit working on ill-gotten wealth but definitely not BIR. In all fairness to our leaders, they may be slow yes but overall they are doing fairly well. The president and his choice of cabinet secretaries are doing the right thing. The DOJ secretary is good and the ombudsman too. DILG secretary is OA though but aside from that he is good too. BIR head is well.. I like her. She’s intelligent and unbiased. Oh my G..this post is too long now! Because I don’t wanna bore you to death, I will just continue with more next time, ok? I mean, the interesting part will be reserved on the next post. Until then…happy almost weekend!

Looks all the way...

I was not rushing with work this afternoon so I sneaked in little time watching youtube with my bb phone, I stumbled upon showtime obviously because vice ganda was in it. So there was this new segment on their show called 'that’s my tomboy' which contestants are all lesbians. It’s very entertaining and very interesting. Showtime grabbed my attention all the more. Like vice, I find gays extra-ordinary. Most of my gay friends are either extra talented or extra humorous. I’m glad showtime started a segment, this time for lesbians because it’s long overdue. It’s about time for people to understand that gays and lesbians are not less than any gender. On a related note, I find one of the weekly final’s Q&A interesting. The contestants were asked to arrange three things according to importance. LOOKS, INTELLIGENCE, SENSE OF HUMOR. Most of them picked intelligence as the most important, sense of humor next and looks last. I was kinda impressed with how they were able to justify their answers. (Infact I like the way lesbians answer a question, they are more sincere, straightforward and totally not exaggerating very unlike sireynas) However I thought they just gave safe and common answer which majority of the people wanted to hear ofcourse. Oh well I'm okay with that but I liked one contestant’s answer better. She said sense of humor is the most important thing followed by intelligence then looks. She said she placed intelligence second because she thought some intelligent people are too weird, geeky and unapproachable, something like that. I liked this answer because it was out of the box at the same time she had a very good point there however I was expecting atleast one from them to be unique enough to go for looks first because that was my answer lolz. Imagine my face when one of the contestants went for looks first! But the smile on my face did not last because she did not justify it convincingly and confidently. Sayang, She is cute pa naman with that Justin Bieber peg. She is actually one of my early favorites. As I said, for me looks would be on my top list, followed by sense of humor and intelligence only third. Why? Because the question is to arrange, not to pick one. I would assume I was already given these three things but I need to arrange because even 100% divided by 3 doesn’t have an exact answer. There has to be one most dominant of all and I would have to say looks. Yes looks. If I was already intelligent, would I want to be more intelligent? NO. I could not handle that. I would want to have more sense of humor instead because I want to have more friends and I want to make people laugh but not too much sense of humor. That I could not handle either. Now, assuming I was already intelligent and already have more sense of humor, what else would I be asking for? Great looks for sure. The greater the better. No limits, as long as there's way to enhance it, ahead I go. Let's face it, human as we are, it's impossible to get enough when it comes to looks enhancement. Infact even holywood stars underwent plastic surgery as there's always gonna be some points we're all gonna feel insecure. Good looks apply not only to human but to everything around us. Anything that is pleasing to the eye attracts more attention and always gives better first impressions. Before I end this post I just thought I need to share to you one of the contestants pickup line for Anne Custis. "Anne, nagreview ka ba? Bakit? Kasi pasasagutin na kita!" Aaaww! And ofcourse this you gotta see...the weekly final's Q and A, the link for ya http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Td0rHtX5SAw

I have issues..

I always avoid going out alone. For lots of reasons. Firstly, I get dizzy too quickly moving a lot. And when I mean dizzy, it is always followed by headache. Secondly, I have no sense of direction. I get lost always. I have trouble finding my way in and out, above all if it requires many left and right turns. Also, I cannot differentiate cars. One time our company driver dropped me off to the bank. When I got out the bank, I could not find which car in the parking lot was our car. I didn’t know what to do. I was standing too long and when finally I reached the one that I thought might be the one, the car’s alarm started to go off because obviously It belonged to someone else! Thirdly, I have trouble getting familiar with people’s faces. I’m not sure whether it’s because I have poor vision. It could be one of the reasons but even with glasses on, I still hardly recognize people. You won't believe it but up to now, I can't remember how many cousins I currently have. I fucking cannot tell them apart. I also cannot tell how am I related to a certain relative. Don't even think about asking me to draw my family tree or I screw up. Not that I don't care, I really do, infact I always ask my mother but typical me would remember one minute, the next I would totally forget. It's never easy for me to memorize the names of my husband's aunts and uncles, how many they are and where their houses are located. I cannot take medine like three times a day. I always take them less than the times required because I forget. Do you think I have early signs of alzheimers or am I just crazy? All these justify why I hate going to social gatherings and family reunions. I don’t want people to think I'm a snob when actually I'm not, I really just can’t recall people and things like most people can. I am such a total outcast as shit. Now you know why I love online shopping. Lolz. Let me shift from being an idiot to being an expert now, I don't wanna hate myself some more that's why. As I was saying, I am an online shopping addict. And that being said I found a new online store! I tried it and so far so good. They offer free shipping nationwide and you can pay thru credit card, online banking and even over the counter remittance. During their clearance sale, I was able to get two pretty watches for just the price of one! I am very familiar with this brand because I bought one worth 700 pesos from lazada before and I did not regret it. The quality was good. You can compare it with other brands with higher price tags. Paying 500 now for two cool watches is such a steal, yes? But being one of the few to get limited time promos has a trick. Do you know that you can get real time notifications by liking any page in facebook then clicking get notifications? If you want to be notified of sale alerts ahead of others, do this. Trust me. I am a sucker for online promos! And all these won’t be possible without an internet connection. Did I already tell you I have unlimited internet connection whenever wherever, 100 all network texts plus a brand new blackberry phone, all for only 550 pesos a month? Because I have. You can’t find anything greater than this right? My only problem so far is phone battery. I need to buy perhaps a power bank to extend my phone battery life because internet sucks battery faster than normal. And..and I run out of stories to tell. Well can I call it a day then? Yes I can. Goodbye

Life oh life!

I was brushing my tongue slowly, because as you know, brushing the tongue takes a lot of patience and concentration. One wrong move and you’re messed up. So while I was concentrating on cleaning my tongue with a tooth brush I remember one article I red on yahoo website about human not originally from earth. Aha rocket science! Whatever. I’m boring so deal with it. To continue, so there is this one rocket scientist saying human were not meant on earth to live. He said there is possibility humans were from other planet or other universe. Just so you know there are I guess facts coming out that our universe, where earth belongs, is not the only universe out there. It is most probably one of the many universes in space. Google it, I am not making stories up. So what made him said that? Well it’s just his theory. He said there are obviously things that are not compatible or does not go well with humans. Disease is one thing. Humans are more prone to sickness than animals which according to him is odd because humans are the most developed species on earth and yet they are the least compatible with environment: harmed by sunlight, with strong dislike for raw foods, etc. Thinking about his theory, I realize what he is trying to say, and that is Earth could perhaps only meant for animals and humans were meant elsewhere! It could be true right? There are a lot of things we have and we know that animals don’t. Oh my, how could we be the aliens? Poor animal kingdom, we invaded them! On a related note, did you happen to see on the internet what a parasitic twin looks like? There is this one baby I saw on youtube with a parasitic twin. Her parasitic twin is another head conjoined on top of her head like a crown. What shocks me is the fact that her parasitic head has a face and has a life of its own! It’s basically another baby, only it has no body at all. The head can blink, yawn, sleep while the other is awake, even suck a pacifier! OMG. The sad part? The baby could survive only by removing the parasitic head. So the doctors had no other choice but to cut off the other head. And the saddest part of all. The baby also died of brain infection one year after the operation. Why am I saying this? I realize that life and our body are two separate things. Given the right elements and composition, a life could exist even without a body that controls it. Who knows, there might be life outside earth. It could be just a tiny particle or it could have no form but can move freely. Or maybe one day, even life could be cultured or processed. And that brings me to my own theory. Not only would natural humans soon be gone but emotions as well. Why you ask? Because we got emotions out of PAIN. We don’t want to be hurt so we protect our body and the people closest to us. And once pain is gone, love is gone. Without pain, we know everyone is safe. We know everyone is fine. No reason to worry. Scary right? Happy advance Halloween!

My story...

My life began 33 years ago in a small town in Bataan Philippines. That was eleven months after my parents got married in 1979. I was the eldest child. To complete our family, my two sisters and my youngest brother were born like one every after two years gap. I went to public school in elementary when I was only six. I got memories of grade school, lots of it actually. I was a shy boring girl. I was never popular because I was no extraordinary kid. One of the highlights of grade school was in first grade when I was picked by my teacher to join the beauty contest kind of thing. Please don’t laugh I didn’t know how it happened either. As expected I lost it and cried my eyes out because that was my first ever official failure and as a child I didn’t know how to deal with negative things. Another failure came when I was in sixth grade. I was chosen to represent our school for math competition because my teacher believed I could do magic with numbers. I really had no idea what kind of grass my teachers were smoking back then. I sucked at competing with others because I never believed I could beat anyone. I lost again but this time I did not care. I was never a studious student, I was lazy even then. In fact there were those times I got zero scores in quizzes and seatmate who was in charged of checking answers was so mean and he would laugh hysterically at me the entire week. What I knew was that I loved reading romance books. They never failed to thrill me. That explained how I got blurry vision. Surprisingly I graduated in elementary and what was even more surprising I got the first place in academics. Told you my teachers were into drugs or something. Plus I sabotaged the intelligent ones lol. Seriously I thought it was just pure luck, I could not believe it, I thought I did not deserve it. So being first placer in the class gave me the chance to deliver a speech in front of many people and that was my first and last public speaking experience. My valedictory speech was fucking scripted. I forgot who the genius made that speech for me. Too bad google wasn't even an idea that time. It was full of drama and bullshit. I never really liked it. What I liked about the outcome of it though was my father's gift to me. It was my first ever wristwatch and I thought of it as the most treasured thing in the world. So after graduation I went to high school which I referred to as the school of pine trees because there were beautiful tall pine trees and underneath them were those big rubber truck wheels we used to sit on during break time or during crush hunting because our crushes were kinda missing in action all the time and we were like paparazzi. I got lots of crushes in high school. But I had my first unofficial boyfriend when I was in sophomore class. I had a boyfriend and I was only fourteen yay! Ssshhh my parents did not know about it because they were the strictest parents in the whole galaxy. I swear. But that was just pure teenage love. No biggie. That guy was a schoolmate of mine but we first met not at school campus but on the way home. A group of students were on a tricycle and there was this cute guy enjoying the ride as he gripped the tricycle like a monkey. He was weird as fuck. But instead of fearing for his life...he was smiling at me. It all started there. We got very close especially the time when we both joined the drum and xylophone group because we avoided joining the student military training. All my friends did not like it too so our circle of friends all joined the band instead. My friends and I played the xylophone and he played any drums. So every time there were rehearsals, Christmas carols, out of school performance or competition, we would be constant buddies and everyday was getting more fun and exciting because we would always be together. So cute. But immature love could not last I guessed. He found a new girlfriend. And it broke my heart to bits. But I got through it because my best friends were there making each day extra cheerful. I belonged in one big group of eight girls during high school. All of us were in the same class. We had so much fun together. We tried all the good and bad things at school. We cut classes to give way for some adventures with the boys. There were also some points we got addicted to drinking alcohol. Oftentimes the principal had to suspend us for like a day or two as punishment. My friends were never bad though. We were just like everyone else who wanted to try out everything. All of the things we did we considered them part of high school, part of growing up. Just when I got over my first boyfriend came another guy into my life. I was in senior class when I met that cute dancer I got caught staring at me across the classroom. We got introduced and I liked him right there and then. He was good looking like that. But the downside was him being younger than I was. He was a sophomore that time and I was in graduating class. I thought going out of high school and moving into college would eventually separate us. I felt everything was hopeless for us so I dumped him. Stupid decision ever I know. I thought it was over but I was wrong. There were few occasions after graduation where our common friends would arrange events and meet ups and we would be reunited again and found ourselves enjoying each others company again. One time we were together in a friend's house and it was getting late. He said nobody's staying in their house for some reasons and he was alone. To cut the story short, he asked me to stay. I panicked. I was brought up conservatively. I was only 16 years old that time and I was afraid of what my parents gonna do to me once they knew it. So I told him I would rather go home. As much as I wanted to, I was afraid what was gonna happen when it was only me and him. Well maybe nothing because we were so innocent then, I mean what would a 14 year old boy and a 16 year old girl do? Like my parents I just got paranoid. As you all know being obedient to parents means boring life, perhaps yes? So the guy felt bad about my decision. He said that was the second time I rejected him and then we never saw each other again. My life was shattered. But I still went on with life, with college and shit. I met a lot of new friends. Also I got the chance to befriend familiar faces in our area. One of them was this tall jolly guy I used to know. He was a varsity player in their school in manila. He was very funny guy like he made tears fall down my face out of just laughter…. Oh my geeespot…I can’t keep going. Stupid migraine gets in the way. I’ll get back with part2 okay? Keep well baby!

Video scandal...

I was alone in coa office when out of nowhere my guy officemate came in. I have to make a little bit of a disclaimer before I go on just so I would not be judged. This small guy is married, has two kids, he was the first person I got close to since I came here eight months ago. He was funny...and harmless. Think of any guy that could run errands for you but…with the right amount of bribery...he’s that kind of guy. Going on with the story, so my officemate came in looking excited then asked me if I want a copy of chito and neri sex scandal…I was like who the hell are they? See how watching almost no TV made me left behind? I seldom watch TV, the time I use for it I’d rather use for watching favorite sites on youtube. I totally don’t know who that neri is, though I know little information about chito. I know the band called parokya ni edgar, I always recognize them not for their songs, I really don’t like their music, but because they wore, each of them, long lady skirts during their first tv appearance couple of years ago. They looked retarded but their efforts paid off. They got peoples attention and eventually got famous. So handing in a controversial video not everyone could see is a test to my curiosity. I am no saint, I’m just like everybody else who finds genuine sex very interesting to watch because it makes every emotions in our body coming out all at once. Disappointment, shame, awkwardness, pity, anger, sexual tension, guilt, arousal, surprise, grossness even comedy! I swear it would make your heart palpitate. That’s how a sex video going to affect us. Therefore I watched it, period. And that was hardcore sex. Its boldness is equally leveled to that of hayden-maricar sex video, if not beyond that. Tsk tsk…very scandalous. Then I searched what were the persons involved reactions. According to the news, chito cried foul, he said their computer hard drive was stolen and the robber was the one that leaked the video. He also made some statements asking apologies from their parents and then thanking everyone for their prayers. What. The. Fuck. I cannot for the life of me understand why these people after making scandalous sex videos blame other people and then incorporate God and prayers. If I were God, I would be super pissed! I mean come on, why would you pray after watching fucking sex video? Do they really need divine intervention? I reserve that for people who have cancers. Majority of the people would be super horny after watching a sex video right? Praying during or after an arousal is just unthinkable. Filming a sex video for me is like signing a waiver that if in case it went public, it would be your sole responsibility and accountability. Blame noone but yourself alone. Another point, if having a sex video is okay, why blame anyone? Just be happy and proud right? It’s okay after all.

Subscription Box

For those of you who don’t know about what’s in and what’s trendy in PH beauty industry very recently, I know some of you already know but for the most part, this is still gonna be the first time you’re gonna hear about this so listen. Long before beauty boxes made them here in the country, came already a bunch of companies around the world like US and Canada sending out not only beauty boxes but products of varieties to consumers by way of subscription to try out their products in samples. I’ve seen many reviews and unboxing of these subscriptions on youtube and I swear I wished I could get one for myself too. They’re like gifts which you don’t know what’s in them until you open them. Who doesn’t love opening a surprise, right? So currently here in PH there are three beauty box subscriptions making their hit to beauty and fashion world. They are the SALADBOX, BDJBOX and the GLAMOURBOX. Their costs are less than 600 pesos monthly and you will be getting monthly goodies from skin care products like make-up, body wash, lotion, to signature perfumes samples, etc. depends on the box theme because they do change monthly. But I was not subscribed to any of them, I could if I want to though because I could use for payment my BPI account other than a credit card which I do not have, unfortunately. Only reason being beauty products hate me so much. I have extremely sensitive skin and they hate me for that, I tried many products on my face before and they only made my skin worse. I easily get pimples like hundreds of them everyday, it’s really frustrating. Currently, I am not using any soap or whatever shit on my face, I am using only shampoo as facial wash and my skin got fewer pimples since then on. So that makes toothpaste and shampoo two products I cannot live without, other than those you can take away everything else, Im fine. Being said of boxes, there is one new addition to three subscription boxes I mentioned, this is the SM BEAUTY BOX that SM and Watsons launched few days ago. This box is worth 4,000 pesos of Watsons goodies but you only need to pay 799 pesos! Amazing right? I tell you I’m not a fan of beauty products but this one is just so irresistible! And what’s even greater about this box is that you don’t need to subscribe online, you just have to go to selected SM malls and pray they will not run out of stock, they are too good to be true like that! The box was launched last August 1 but I got to know about it just yesterday so I immediately called boyfriend to get me one in SM North but as expected, we’re too late, nothing’s left for me, not even one, not even the shadow of it, very disappointing. Now that I still think about it, you know what…fuck that! I want it but I don’t need those shit in it! I would just give them away. I am more satisfied with zalora now. Do you know about zalora yet? And lazada? Well check them out now, you are missing out! Lazada is my first love, previously I got to win free vouchers of as much as 1,500 on their fireworks of vouchers promo. Now I got less interested joining because the newest vouchers that they are giving out have minimum purchase of 3,000 or 4,000 depends on their mood as compared to 2,500 of before, and another thing, they are limited only for use on gadgets which are kinda pricey plus the fact that gadgets are not that important. I already got gadgets that I need and I don’t plan to spend that much cash on luxury. Zalora on the other hand doesn’t give vouchers higher than 500 pesos. But the good thing about zalora, you don’t need to join any contest to get vouchers plus they regularly have flash sale of 15% off on selected products. You just need to check out their website regularly to get advantage of the discounts. To give you an idea, I could have items worth 1,800 and pay only 1,000 for an order. That’s roughly 45% off! And the best part, I can pick whichever product I want without the disappointment of getting crap I hate. Another best part? They have sale of as much as 80% off on many products! Do you know that I can afford now to collect signatured lotion and body spray? Yes I can. Gone are the days I wished somebody would gift me one to have one. And oh, I have one box coming to my doorstep tomorrow, I bought two shoes, what? Do they fit? Gosh I’m not sure. Whatever. They have to. So do you want to join zalora now? I got a voucher that you can use to get 15% discount. Register on their website, just google zalora okay, remember everything is just a google away, pick products you want then use ZBAP0Fs before checkout. There you go. What else to say? Hmm nothing else so

Life is too short......

Hello motherfather gentlemen! I'm finally back on track. Did u miss me? Oh I miss u too! One of the good things about being gone so long is that you have got a million stories to tell but the hardest part is how to start and when to end. But just like life, no matter how we start it, we just have to make sure of doing things as enjoyable as it should be. Life ends when it ends but this blog is gonna outlive me, I'm gonna end before this blog ends so "blog...hang in there, we still got a lot work to do...two and two together". Speaking of life..suddenly why u ask? I miss a friend. Someone who I won't ever get to see and hear again. Someone who I won't ever get to hold of, joke around, smile at...like we used to do. Fuck cancers and their vitamins for making them grow stronger from nothing to fucking ugly serial killers! Fuck you! And yes, don't forget to say 'i love you' to people who mean the world to you because life is too fast. And short. And cruel. And death is very unexpected. It's important they are able to feel they are loved. Did I say I love you Julien somewhere in here yet? Because I always do. I am myself because of this love. You are my son who is composed of my very own cells and my every cell is composed of my love for you. I never thought my life would be co-terminous with another life until I had you. I will never get tired of mending your wounds, fixing everything for you, cleaning every dirt you get, shielding you, nursing you, be everything for you. I will never stop being paranoid, me and my magnifying glass will stay beside you longer than you want in search for bruises and rashes even if need not be. You will be turning 10 tomorrow, another milestone for both of us. I am thankful the sickly child you were before...you no longer are. You're still that clumsy though, you are still having headaches when it's loud, you still tremble when afraid, puke when upset, I can still feel your heart beats fast over loud fireworks, but I am sure one step at a time you will age out of all your weakness. You see you can play basketball fairly well now. You sing inside the bathroom, often times I catch you smile for unknown reasons, you got your first crush, eat fish without any help, finish three bowls of rice with your bare hands. These are only few of the things that really make me smile about you. And to my boyfriend...I married you, only you. Thinking of all the things we got through and still getting through, who would think of remarrying again lolz. Seriously, we had spent like 30% of our lives before we became a thing, then we spent another maybe like 20% living a life together, and I have noone in mind to share the remaining 50% of it with...but you. That is neither because you were good nor bad. The fact that we stood by each other through the years, we made a family, we had a child, we knew each other's ugliest and worst personalities. I know marriage is complications, and if there's someone to get complicated with, then let it be only you. If being married means chaos, then bring it on. If marrying you gave you all the right in the world to hurt me, then I let you. I could always find someone better but noone and nothing could equate the kind of life we shared together. We have been through heaven and hell and thinking about going through heaven and hell again with another would be just a waste. What the fuck..please excuse the emoness. To my only brother, happy birthday to you! We enjoyed the home made pizza you just made... My laptop is dead...and this is basically why it took so long for me to blog...I'm so sad because I was not able to say I love you laptop before it RIP...it's too late now...

I sang and recorded it...wtf.

So for the sake of hearing what its like to hear my own voice singing...I tried to record using the record function of the videoke..

It was insane lolz.... and my diction was terrible...

Don't make fun of me...it was random...no practice at all...

"Gonna make you swet, gonna make you wet...yu no hu ahh emmm..."  fuck fuck fuck lolz...

Seriously..it was not psy's gentleman...but marry me.

For silly reasons...I recorded another one...you're gonna get pissed I know already...I don't have a life hehe..

I was faking it...I'm actually very good...I'm such a pro...

Boooo! Ok enough...

But wait...dondon said..."the mike...pass it here"...

Here's take this love for ya..

My teeth fell out

It was a dream. Thank God I still got all my teeth! But last night I had a pretty bad dream about my front teeth getting loose and falling out one after the other. That was not the first time I dreamt about falling teeth, I had them many times before and more than any other dream I had, losing teeth is one of the few that really bothers me because it seems so damn real. I even spit the tooth and some blood. Yuck. The weird thing about this dream is the feeling of one part of my face being paralyzed for stupid reason. What even more stupid is the fact that when I wake up I have to bite a piece of wood to counter the bad luck that it may bring to my life. Fuck superstitions! Fuck me for eating an innocent wood simply because it doesn't cost me anything! 

For the sake of knowing what could be the meaning of this dream, if there's any. Whatever. I googled its interpretation and got annoyed because it was full of negative shit. How about a little bit of good things?  Damn you people for making all these stories up. 

Sexual tensions

Fear of losing money

Fear of looking stupid

Fear of getting old
Fear of looking unattractive

Fear of failure

Fear of being powerless

Death

Wow. Thanks google for this big embarrassment! Not only did it make me look like a pervert but it shoved in my face that I am fat, ugly bitch who got inferiority and total lack of self-confidence! I tell you something. I don't care what a  rotten tooth says what I am and what could happen to me in the future. My fate would never be measured by how many teeth i have that fell out during a nightmare. Is there even a scientific explanation that could support these interpretations? NOTHING. Now if you'll excuse me, I need to finish my tea. 

Slimming tea. 

What the fuck.

Giggle Blair Giggle

Meet Blair, my six month old niece.  Below is a video of her while my other seven year old niece madi is kidding her. To film this, I had to hold her with my left arm so I can use the other hand to hold a camera. 

Nobody ever makes her giggle but only madi who has been really good at clowning babies. I tried several times though but she would just stare at me like maybe she thought I was a freak. The only times I made her smile were the times I sang gangnam style to her. The "hey sexy lady" part is just her favorite part. I love how babies are weird.

And a happy new year!

It takes a good news to really get inspired huh? I just got a call a bit ago and I suddenly got motivated to update this blog yay! I will let you know what was it about not now but soon. It was not so much though, in fact it was a mixed of good and bad news yet an opportunity I cannot afford to ignore. But now I need to upload pictures of new year's day which my mother has been bugging me to do since day one and what my sister abroad has been longing to see. Don't get too excited, you guys. You will see all the pictures in....3.....2.....1!

Obviously we had a great celebration of new year! Who said we are broke? Xmas and new year are the times of the year when nobody is broke! We cooked bulk of food too good to resist which resulted to me combating terrible indigestion that lasted throughout the evening and the day after. But despite feeling unwell I had joined to celebrate with family. Had my sister come home, we would have been so complete. Anyhow we had an amazing night. We moved out the TV, speakers and karaoke player with songs to sing and dance along to.  The kids were the cutest dancers ever! All of us stayed outside and waited for 2013 to come, even the kids did not go to bed until 2012 was over. There were alcohol I think must have been brandy and vodka calling to me to drink them. I would have drunk some vodka If I could but that stupid indigestion got in the way. When the clock struck midnight, the kids blew their tootles out as loud as they could while the boys lit firecrackers and mini fireworks which got the kids half terrified half delighted. Thanks luckiness nobody was hurt. Well what good is a new year without some noise?

Grab your own kid?

I know what you are thinking...keep it to yourself!

sleeping under the moonlight?

And the other pictures I took during the day...

Aw greasy lips!

He loves to cuddle her!
