sa pagiging malayo nya sa asawa at anak, sana bigyan sya ng strenght and more
guidance.

4. para sa aking mga friends na si mel and rona na nasa Singapore
sana nakahanap na sila ng work at maging masaya sila sa kanilang
bagong adventure

5. para sa mga tao at sa aking mga kaibigan na nakaka-eexperience ng kung anumang kalungkutan, paghihirap sa financial at ibang aspeto ng pangangailangan,emotional,at pagititiis, sinasama ko kayo sa aking mga panalangin, minsan naisip natin ang mga sacrifices natin, nakikinig at nandyan ang Diyos sa bawat galaw natin...trust me, God Listens...He always there in every step of the way..

on wanting something (but at this moment can't have it yet)

~ jeff and i went to some garage sale on weekends whenever we get a chance,though its funny that we are not looking for any particular thing, anything that caught our eye or we see something interesting and if it is a good deal we take it. So far we haven't got anything except for the fact knowing that most of these houses are for sale. And there's like a sad stories behind it...well, not all of them but some are...the last place that we went at was in a very quiet, nice neighborhood, very private. The man is very friendly and he talked to Jeff for a while which i didn't mind because they have this big yard and there was a couple of horses, and my son Ozzie was just so happy to see the horses...
I took a few pictures of the back yard, the horses and the drive way..no picture of the house ...and i like it because I like the privacy...the quietness, yet there are neighbors and houses are pretty close to each other, not some like your living in the middle of nowhere...no way.

i want to own a really nice home. not so big. just big enough for kids with minimal, basic things that needed for everyday life.

but for now i will keep dreaming about it, hoping and praying that if I stay good enough (maybe) all my wishes will be granted, that is if it meant to be...

Michael Jackson Medley - Remembering Michael (AJ Rafael - Piano)

~I still can't wrap my head about what happened to Micheal Jackson.
I just love a lot of his songs and his performances in his
show was just amazing!
It was just shocking and .....
i just don't know what to say...

"To MJ : Your music will live in Our Hearts Forever.
Thank you for sharing your amazing talent to the whole
world. You inspired a millions of artist.
You will surely be missed.
You are a legend.

"What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch, we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget."


A special thanks to AJ, who posted this beautiful tribute to Michael Jackson.
this video really made me cry :( and really touched my heart.
And please support him,check out his videos on youtube!

he is an AWESOME artist !!

when i miss home...

i do like sardines... a lot!
and for some reason everytime i open a can
of sardines, and that's normally happens
if i am too lazy to cook or not in the mood
to cook anything...or just simply want to have
that "taste of home"...

this particular LIGO brand is my fave, although
i also like some other fancy one in a jar
like said from Cebu, oh! so yummy!

but this one reminds me of childhood...
my father.my mother. ( lagi ko request ang miswa)
our life back then.
our home.
rainy days in pinas...
or kung may bagyo pa nga.
my friends. (who loves to partner it with payless noodles, then coffee,
kahit pa 100 degrees ang weather. lol)

basta.

i love it.

when my sister came to visit us, and btw. she's a fabulous chef, cook
i always see her having this tomato,onions (vidalia),jalapeno like
a side dish or what not, in her meal ...well, it depends on what she eats or
what we ate that day...and when i had it with sardines, it actually
pretty awesome, i like it!

now, i have to make sure i have these trios, before i open a can,
coz i feel, it isn't the same or not-so-complete if one is missing :)

and yes. i love the red can. the filipino version of i guess spicy.
mildly spicy. but not-spicy for me..at all.
but ...i just like it.

GOOD LUCK RACKIE!

I had a really good talk with my step daughter Rackie
last night...as I wished her Good luck for American Idol
Audition...

I am so positive that She will absolutely do amazingly well.

She is a good singer.

And She knows we are all here cheering Out loud for her!

So my dear, Good Luck and this will be a Fabulous Experience for you :)

With all Our love!!

p.s.

i also sent her a text message:

Good Luck to the best sister in a whole wide world!
Your number one fan, your baby brother, Ozzie

I had an idea because when Rackie was singing
in karaoke, Ozzie loves to listen to her..
and its a joy to watch..so i guess as a mother
I just put it into words for her to know :)

YUMMY BLUEBERRY MUFFINS

~ jeff baked a yummy blueberry muffins on friday
he actually used a yellow cake mix then he mix a LOT
of fresh blueberries in it...and it was simply delicious.
ozzie had a lot of it for breakfast & snacks.
I prefer to eat it with freshly brewed coffee :)



~You can actually see all that yummy blueberries inside-yum-oh!~

i have something for you...

~ i have something for you...
eto ang bungad sa akin ni hubby kamakailan lang.
oh dear, i totallly love surprises. (right kat?)
so sabi ko...what is it?

at nilabas nya ang plastic ng 3 manggang hinog (from his lunch bag)
alam nyo yun, parang plastic pa nga sa atin sa Pinas
(yung pang-isang kilo)
sabi nya....bigla kitang naalala nung nakita ko to eh
(sinabi nya sa english siyempre he he)
nag-deposit lang sya ng sahod nya, (may bangko sa loob ng grocery store)
at namataan nya nga itong
mga mangga na para bang kumakaway daw ( as in with matching "wave" action yan ha)

aww...na touch naman ako sa sweetness ni hubby ever...

saya ng life.

i love LOVE. (LOVE ko sya kung tawagin)

can i handle you? (doubtful)

~ i am really a wedge kinda gal, pumps ba ito?
i tried. pero di masayadong ma-carry eh.
but i love this one :(
but i know i have to let her go...
coz i will not be happy just staring at her..(for sure)
as a mommy of a toddler, i honestly trying to EMBRACE the comfort
of flats and sneakers. oh well...

maliit kasi ako, ilusyon ko na lang a 3- 3 1/2" na heels
para feeling 5"3-- but all in all. I am grateful sa height ko (no more complains)

Chocolate cake with chocolate icing

If all of the eight desserts listed below were sitting in

front of you, which would you choose (sorry, you can only

pick one)! Trust me...this is very accurate.. Pick your

Dessert, and then look to see what psychiatrists think about

you.

REMEMBER - No Cheating. Make your choice before you check

the meaning.

After taking this dessert personality test, send this e-mail

on to others, but when you do, be sure to put your choice of

dessert in the subject box above.



ALSO, SEND IT TO THE PERSON WHO SENT IT TO YOU. DON'T

FORGET TO CHANGE YOUR DESSERT CHOICE IN THE SUBJECT BOX
BEFORE YOU FORWARD IT..


Here are your choices:


1. Angel Food Cake

2. Brownies

3. Lemon Meringue Pie

4.. Vanilla Cake With Chocolate Icing

5. Strawberry Short Cake

6. Chocolate Cake With Chocolate Icing

7. Ice Cream

8. Carrot Cake

No, you can't change your mind once you scroll down, so

think carefully about what your choice will be.



OK - Now that you've made your choice, this is what the

researchers say about you.... SCROLL DOWN---No Cheating










1. ANGEL FOOD CAKE -- Sweet, loving, cuddly. You love all

warm and fuzzy items.. A little nutty at times. Sometimes you

need an ice cream cone at the end of the day. Others

perceive you as being childlike and immature at times.



2... BROWNIES -- You are adventurous, love new ideas, and are

a champion of underdogs and a slayer of dragons. When

tempers flare up you whip out your saber. You are always the

oddball with a unique sense of humor and direction. You tend

to be very loyal.



3. LEMON MERINGUE -- Smooth, sexy, a diva at times..
You are an excellent caregiver and a good teacher.

You set your own style because you do your own thing.
You shine when it comes to helping others and have many
friends. Natural leader, loyal, spontaneous. Love to laugh.



4. VANILLA CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE ICING -- Fun-loving, sassy,

humorous, not very grounded in life; very indecisive and

lacking motivation.. Everyone enjoys being around you, but

you are a practical joker. Others should be cautious in

making you mad. However, you are a friend for life.



5. STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE -- Romantic, warm, loving. You care

about other people, can be counted on in a pinch and expect

the same in return. Intuitively keen. You can be very

emotional at times but a true person in every way. You like

to do things for yourself and help others learn about

themselves.



6. CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE ICING -- Sexy; always ready

to give and receive. Very creative, adventurous, ambitious,

and passionate. You can appear to have a cold exterior but

are warm on the inside. Not afraid to take chances. Will not

settle for anything average in life. Love to laugh.



7. ICE CREAM -- You like sports, whether it be baseball,

football, basketball, or soccer. If you could, you would like

to participate, but you enjoy watching sports. You don't

like to give up the remote control. You tend to be

self-centered and high maintenance.



8. CARROT CAKE -- You are a very fun loving person, who

likes to laugh. You are fun to be with. People like to hang

out with you. You are a very warm hearted person and a

little quirky at times. You have many loyal friends.. You

were meant to lead and teach others. A wonderful role model.

ibaling sa movies:

hay naku, masyadong ma-drama ang aking friday last last week.
jeff was so upset so naging upset na rin ako.
mahabang istorya...and i only have a few minutes
para mag-blog dahil mabagal ako mag-type so yun na yun..

dahil mga kaibigan ko rin ang involved.

pag ganito ang mood ko. kelangan ko manood ng movie.i mean, movies.

but..it has to be a feel-good movie.

oh diba.

the following day. saturday, jeff has to work, and i need to do some
stuff around the house and a few stuff on gardening ( ew, hindi talaga ako
garden-whatsoever-person) so ang contributon ko sa garden-gardenan ni jeff
eh mag water, at kung anuman yung madali like mag-alis ng patay
na damo, bungkal here and there, hayun....masaya na sya.saka siyempre
ako taga-kain so kelangan magpakitang gilas din kahit pano
para di saktan ng tyan he he he.

anywayz. wala naman kasing magandang on sa tv pag weekends.
and marami akong naririning tungkol sa moving Twilight.
ewan ko ba kung ano pumipigil sa akin lagi namang available kung
gustuhin ko mang i-rent...so hayun na nga...

OMG. i'm so glad I did.

basta. wala ako pakialam sa kung anuman ang sabihin ng iba.

RETURN TO POOH CORNER

- I first heard this song when i was 23,
it was break time and I heard my preschooler,
His name is William.
and he sung it so good and i actually asked him
to sing it again. It was the chorus part.
I just fell in love with the song.
Since then it was one of my ultimate fave.
Thanks William.

It also remind me how simple our life back then
when we were a child,
how simple our dreams...
how simple things made us laugh and felt happy,
made us cry ..
NOW...we all grow, learn and
make choices as a grown-up.

Not always easy.
But we all try to enjoy the jouney.
Like how we used to enjoy the journey and memories of childhood.

There's something about the song that made me feel
that we all can be a child at heart.

It was a pretty amazing feeling.

And of course I want to share to you all my fave quote from Winnie the Pooh.

“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must
always remember.

You are braver than you believe,
stronger than you seem,
and smarter than you think.
But the most important thing is,
even if we're apart.. I'll always be with you.”




Christopher Robin and I walked along
Under branches lit up by the moon
Posing our questions to Owl and Eeyore
As our days disappeared all too soon
But I've wandered much further today than I should
And I can't seem to find my way back to the Wood

So help me if you can
I've got to get back
To the House at Pooh Corner by one
You'd be surprised
There's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh

Winnie the Pooh doesn't know what to do
Got a honey jar stuck on his nose
He came to me asking help and advice
From here no one knows where he goes
So I sent him to ask of the Owl if he's there
How to loosen a jar from the nose of a bear

Help me if you can
I've got to get back
To the House at Pooh Corner by one
You'd be surprised
There's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh

It's hard to explain how a few precious things
Seem to follow throughout all our lives
After all's said and done I was watching my son
Sleeping there with my bear by his side
So I tucked him in, I kissed him and as I was going
I swear that the old bear whispered "Boy welcome home"

Believe me if you can
I've finally come back
To the House at Pooh Corner by one
What do you know
There's so much to be done
Count all the bees in the hive
Chase all the clouds from the sky
Back to the days of Christopher Robin
Back to the ways of Christopher Robin
Back to the days of Pooh

I NEED HELP!

THIS IS SO HARD. TRY TO UNSCRAMBLE THE WORD BELOW AND SEE SOME OF MY ANSWER IN MY COMMENTS BOX.SEE IF AM RIGHT. YOU CAN ALSO POST YOUR ANSWER THERE.TNX.

What is the Value of an Hour?

Posted: 23 Mar 2009 11:03 PM PDT

It was almost midnight on an idle Tuesday and the hospital hallways were unusually calm. I had just finished reading an old issue of Sports Illustrated from cover to cover. “Waiting sucks,” I thought to myself. “Why didn’t I bring a book?”

As I sat quietly with my eyes closed, I could vaguely hear the soft mumbles of a verbal plea going on in the hospital room beside me. “You’ve kept him waiting long enough! My grandson is here! Oh please, let him in.” More mumbling… “Please, please… nurse, bring him to me.”

A moment later the nurse stormed out of the room and looked startled to see me waiting in the hall. “Oh, you’re here!” he yelped. “I’m sorry. I’m a hospice nurse and I’ve only been watching over your grandmother for the last 24 hours. She insisted that you were coming to visit her last night too, so she had me scouring the hospital halls looking for you to no avail. When she told me you were coming again this evening, I assumed her dementia was getting the best of her.”

“Well, I…”

He interrupted me. “But I’m really glad you’re here. I think she’s been holding on just so she could say goodbye to you. It’s actually miraculous that she’s still able to speak, because her body is rapidly shutting down on her. The doctor gave her 24 hours to live about 24 hours ago.”

“Jeez, that’s…”

He interrupted again. “Sir, once more, I’m truly sorry. I had no idea you were out here waiting. Please follow me.”

I stood up and the nurse guided me into the room. “You’re grandson is here,” he announced from the doorway. The old woman’s eye’s lit up. “Oh grace… Oh joy!” She looked right at me and smiled with all the might she had left in her weak body. “I knew you’d come.”

I sat down at her bedside and placed my hand over hers, interlocking our fingers and squeezing ever so slightly in an attempt to show affection. She squeezed back and tried to speak again, but she was too exhausted. Instead, she stared directly into my eyes and held her smile for several minutes as we continued to hold hands. Finally, she closed her eyes and rested.

For nearly an hour I didn’t move. I sat there in silence as she maintained a soft grip on my hand. Then slowly, her grip loosened and her breathing slowed. For a moment I thought she was falling into a deeper sleep, but then her breathing stopped altogether.

I let go of her lifeless hand and used the emergency call button to summon the nurse. The nurse hustled in, covered the body with a white sheet, recorded a few notes on his clipboard, and then began to offer his condolences…

“I’m really sorry for your loss,” he said. “Have you made any funeral arrangements?”

“I don’t even know her name,” I replied.

“What do you mean?” he asked. “She’s your grandmother.”

“No, she’s not,” I assured him. “Prior to stepping foot in this room, I had never met her before in my life. I’m here at the hospital waiting for my roommate who needs a few stitches on his chin.”

He looked confused. “I don’t understand. If you don’t know her, then why didn’t you say so? And why did you sit beside her for the last hour?”

I smiled. “Well, I knew immediately that she wasn’t my grandmother. But when you informed me of her life expectancy, I also knew that her real grandson wasn’t going to make it in time. So curiosity got the best of me and I followed you into the room. Then when she saw me and smiled, I realized her vision was so bad that she actually thought I was her grandson. And knowing how desperate she was to see him, I decided to play the part and spend the hour with her.”

We Determine the Value of Every Hour
Our lives are measured by the value we provide to others. This value arises from the things we spend our time doing. And since time is quantified in hours, the value of our lives is equivalent to the sum of every hour we spend.

Opportunities to provide value are everywhere. Some of them are anticipated, while others blindside us at midnight on an idle Tuesday. Whether or not we choose acknowledge these opportunities is up to us.

How have you spent the last hour of your life?

Friendship :)

loving friends na si flor & jonah.

leny-manang lily-ate divine-and who else,
the pasaway among the pasaways.
yung last picture eh deadma lang.
I tried to set up the table nicely for them.
nakalimutan ko naman picturan ang lafang namin that day:)
(dahil na rin sa excitement na lumafang na nga hahah)
at nawala na sa ulirat.
uy, na-appreciate naman nila and am super happy:)

take note! and super pink na gwantes ni manang lily hah .heheh.

To my friend Flor & Jonah:
You guys! I miss you both esp Jonah.
I always talk to flor on the phone.
We need to spend sometime guys to catch up!
Flor, bili na ng gps at lakasan na ang loob,

MY NEW FAVE SONG :)

Special thank you to acciobrain101 of youtube :)

~Kelly Clarkson performs My Life Would Suck Without You on American Idol. 3/11/09.

-i was singing this song for hours and hours in the kitchen (super super loud!)
while cooking, cleaning the fridge, and yes, baking too :)
and my son looks at me like 'what the heck is wrong with u mommy?' heheh.
and kelly was in Oprah this morning and she's just the coolest artist ever :)
i so love love her :)



My Life Would Suck Without You (lyrics)

Guess this means you're sorry
You're standing at my door
Guess this means you take back
All you said before
Like how much you wanted
Anyone but me
Said you'd never come back
But here you are again

(Chorus)
Cuz we belong together now, yea
Forever united here somehow, yea
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you

Maybe I was stupid
For telling you goodbye
Maybe I was wrong
For tryin' to pick a fight
I know that I've got issues
But you're pretty messed up too
Either way I found out I'm nothing without you

(Chorus)

Being with you is so dysfunctional
I really shouldn't miss you,
But I can't let you go,
Oh yeah

{ music break}

Cuz we belong together now, yea yea
Forever united here somehow, yea
You got a piece of me
And honestly
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you

Cuz we belong (yeah) together now (together now), (yeah)
Forever united here somehow, yea
You got a piece of Me And honestly
My life (my life) would suck (would suck) without you

talkin' about what's 4 dinner?

(i deleted this one accidentally, good thing
i usually have type it in first sa microsoft word
before i post it..whew!)

-- ok last week, we had some sort of contest,
jeff and i on how to make a "looking-good dinner"
ok...well, you guys will be the judge for the presentation:
jeff's creation probably taste better, but i still like mine..heheh.

MY CREATION: VERY SIMPLE: VERY ASIAN

Pork chop ( marinated to secret ingredients heheh)
green asparagus (steamed w/ lemon-garlic-butter sauce)
shrimp fried rice (jambalaya style, meaning spicy:)



Jeff's CREATION:
rib eye steak
portabella mushroom (on top)
baked potato (he likes it w/ sour cream on top. and me,hate it)
white asparagus
green grapes (drama)

On eBay:

I am a buyer and seller, but most of the time buyer.
I had a fabulous 115 feedback, 100%. Positive.

Sa ilang taon ko na ebayer, isa lang yung item na di ko na-received.
And di naman ako apektado dahil 1.99 lang sya.
So deadma.

Diba sabi ko di ako bumibili ng jeans sa ebay or on-line , I bought a few before,
And it was great, fits me perfectly coz of detailed item description, so sabi
Hmm…ok naman pala.
Lately, may binili ako, sure it was a deal.

Pero hanggang ngayon di ko pa natatanggap yung jeans, mag 4 weeks na.
Twice ko pa lang sya na-email.

Naiinis ako sobra. Kasi ayoko. As in AYOKO, talaga mag-iwan ng negative
Feedback lalo na kung 100% yung feedback ng seller.

Ahhrrgg….

Geezz…am really good of “letting it go”, kaya lang naisip ko,
Fair bay yun? Let go ko na lang?
Eh di naman lahat ng tao tulad ko diba?
Yung iba…queberrrrrr talaga..

Pano kung dumating yung time na ako naman ang iiwanan nila
Ng negative feedback, sana naman may awa ang Diyos wag mangyari,
Dahil marunong naman ako maki-communicate.
Ewan.
Nabubuhay kasi ako sa karma,golden rule and things happens for a reason.

Alam nyo yun.—“ Matt 7:12 Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”.

I will e-mail her/him for the last time.
We’ll see…..

Pero kung ako papipiliin, let go ko na lang talaga.

Movies:

WANTED-- di ko masyadong feel ang sci-fi
this movie, ahh..weird. pero looking good si Angelina JOlie ha

PINEAPPLE EXPRESS---- nakatulog ako kasi late na,
then tinanong ko si jeff, kung maganda. stupid daw.
so di ko na pinanood.LOL
ELECTRIC MIST-- ok lang. good story naman sya.
but so not for me.not my type.

Movies:

- kahit wala na akong netflix, meron pa naman kaming cable,
so may mga movie doon an gusto ko, then i just set the timer:

nitong huling linggo or buwan, i watched quite a few, i watch a movie
at least once or twice a week. adik tlaga ako sa movie.
pampa-relax ko na rin kasi. (akala mo naman kung sinong stress ano?heheh)


27 DRESSES-- so cute, i love it :) pang girlash na movie talaga. :)
my fave part eh yung lumabas sya from the club or yung party nga then sumigaw sya ng mother******!!!!hahah...i think that was awesome, kse minsan na-experience nating mga babae yun, na you are just about to explode,and needed to let it all out badly...and that's what she did :)

FORGETTING SARAH MARSHALL- it was ok for me. pero nagagandahan ako dun
kay Mila kunis yata yun, yung pinalit nya kay sarah.

I COULD NEVER BE YOUR WOMAN- di ito pamilyar sa akin pero nakita ko si
michelle pfeiffer so okay naman sya. its funny!

ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS- hahah. its cute. i like it :)
gusto ko tuloy hulihin yung mga squirrel dito sa amin
at gawing pet. hahah..anh. no-way!

Movie Day (still going on Flor)

~ eto yung 2 huling movie ko for now
sa netflix, sa ngayon naka-hold
ang subscription ko dahil wala
akong budget eh. heheh.
I have chosen to spent the money with clothes,
actually jeans, dahil masyadong lumalaku ang bilbil,
at di na magkasya ang mga old jeans ko, what an excuse
to get a new clothes huh?
oh well...

ok, back to movies:

EAGLE EYE- ewan di ako fan nito, thriller nga pero,
basta, ayoko sya.

NIGHTS IN RODANTHE- maganda sana kaya lang malungkot :(

-gusto ko yung mga feeling-good movie.

Hamburger night :)

~ eto ang kay jeff (looks boring but it was good!)



~ sa akin : ( mas may personality db? puro kaartehan heheh)

5 Facts about me:

INTRO/WARNING:


Ok, here’s the warning : I am not or not considering my self
as an interesting or intelligent (definitely not!)person,
but I do love my life so much.
And I am a very grateful person.
I thought about doing this thingie about “facts about me”,
Just because, I just want to do it.

It might be sound so pathetic, but you know,
I have fun reading my diaries and anything about my own life.

Because I simply appreciate ME. That’s all.

So I will start with 5 Facts about me:

1 I am super bad in grammar, spelling and words (obviously).
Please forgive me.
If there’s one thing that I appreciate so much is that,
If someone help me correct my grammar, I always ask my mom-in-law
about it. I NEVER felt offended, because I know I need help :(

2. In Motherhood: I really take time to learn the lyrics of the songs that
My baby loves to listen to, so I can sing it to him before he goes to bed.
(though am not a good singer at all, well, that’s what good about babies,
They always think you sing like one of those American idol finalist LOL)

3. I bake when am too happy.

4. I bake when I’m a little sad like when I miss my brother
And I don’t have the phone card to call him, or if I know
Its 2am in Pinas and I can’t bug him 

5. When someone left a comments in my blog,
I write their names in my diary, with note:
“Thank You God for this person…. and so on..(about his/her comment)
Seriously.
I am always a believer that “we met people for a reason”.
And luckily, I met really good, amazing people. (through internet or in person)
You guys know who you are. For sure.
Thank you guys…
And thank You God.

Super dooper LATE post about My Vday :)

~ jeff and I had a big fight a day
before Valentines Day, though that

Vday morning I baked a cake for my friends,
we had lunch, and this was the cake :

America's Best Dance Crew Season 3 !!!!

I'm a huge fan of this how,
because people who knows me well, knew
how crazy i am about Hip-hop dance!
i just didn't get a chance to join any classes yet
but in the future that's definitely included in my Life-lists :)

SO I am so thrilled when the new season of ABDC started.
yahhhhhoooooo!!!!!
One of my favorite is BEAT FREAKS!
A group of fabulous girls, they are totally amazing! (check out the vidz)
geezz...i wanted to be so like them he he he...(in my dreams yah maybe!ha ha!)

But I am also in-love with the Quest-crew from California,
i think some of them are filipinos ...well, am not sure.

BEAUTIFUL! "LESSONS" ( please read you'll LEARN something from it ) )

still feel sad...

~ we missed the Super Bowl party yesterday because
the car won't start....i have been waiting for this day
to catch up with my other pinay friends and then just
didn't happened...sad.sad.sad.
disappointed. "shit happens" as jeff called it.
oh well, i'd like to think "things happens for a reason",
but for me who haven't been anywhere because jeff is too
busy working (even on weekends) and sometimes its hard
to be with my mom-in-law because she really does not have
the energy than she used to.
and my only friend who visits and drive down here..
i always have a hard time explaining to jeff that she's nice
and quit judging her and we always lead to arguments.
so exhausting.

i still feel sad in a way.
too lazy to do things.
i cried last night.this morning.this afternoon.
made me feel better in a way.
i had a long conversation with God too :)

we just can't have it our way all the time.
"this too shall pass"....right?

and by the way, i am sad not because of super bowl party,
or didn't get the chance to see all my friends.
i am sad. because i am sad.
and i let my self be.
just for today. tomorrow is another beautiful day.

Inauguration Day 2009

I have never been so interested with politics (yes, am not smart he he)
just because...
but last tuesday January 20th, is totally a whole different story, i was glued watching every coverage of the Inauguration Day of President Barack
Obama. And I already plan to spend my morning coz I was so dead seriously
excited about it :)


I maybe so emotional about all these because Jeff and I have been talking, discussing and planning about our future, and with the economy and the situation of every company,its just hard to make decisions, but then again, we stay Faithful to God, that He has control with everything, as we believe that President Barack Obama will definitely going to do it....



I was so moved by the event and by his speech. I mean. Every word.
The spirit of the event is just unbelievable.
A!mazing.

And of course, my most favorite part of his speech:

"We remain a young nation, but in the words of Scripture, the time has come to set aside childish things. The time has come to reaffirm our enduring spirit; to choose our better history; to carry forward that precious gift, that noble idea, passed on from generation to generation: the God-given promise that all are equal, all are free, and all deserve a chance to pursue their full measure of happiness."

His emotional connection with the people just simply magical.
Really, the light of the new age has begun.
Wherever you are at that very moment if you witness this kind of history you'll be optimistic about the possibilities.
I love the way that he also talks and listen to everyone's soul.

The support of everyone being there, and even me sitting in the comfort of my home feels the incredible history made that day :) again, A!mazing!

And in the evening,at Inaugural Ball I love the part when President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama, did their first dance,(they actually did it 9 more times) I love how he compliments his wife looking so beautiful that night and the way they look at each other, even they weren't saying a word you can feel that they sending a message to each other that " I am here for you no matter what"...

so Beautiful. so Inspiring. A!mazing.

That event makes me feel that I want to be a better person and do better things with my life.

For the first time since i got here in United States , I feel that no matter what happen,
in this very moment i know I am in right place at the right time.


God bless America.
