Do you like my new look? It’s an old layout from my file actually, I uploaded tons of themes but it was all ended up broken with missing css stylesheet. I don’t know why. Ayoko naman kalikutin baka maglaho ang site ko.

Our new place seems a bit okay, but need to put some blings kasi plain na plain siya. It’s recession time yah know…so instead of buying I just painted some small abstract pieces with bold hues to add colors in the living room. Haven’t framed yet, kaya di pa naikabit. Tipid di ba? :D

  

Here, mukhang gawa ng grade one yung abstract ano? :D

I’d like to share some photos of our new home too.

  

Living area ,dining and kitchen’s next to that door.

  

Stairway going up to creepy second floor. I find it creepy because of its stillness, dim lightings and verrry cold esp at night.

 it has two identical bedroom. Perfect for my two girls. No beddings and all yet.

 The other room downstair is for my son Ken.

No picture of ours because hubby’s still snooring at this time. Nyahaha!

Few days to go before christmas! May you all have a joyous and meaningful celebration.

Weekend Snapshot
Filed under: photo post

 

 

Weekdays had been snowing and temperature drops at -8 C so we stayed home most of the time. Good that the weather this weekend were fine, sunny but still cold.

I went out to do my grocery round up and thought that walking can be fun. I passed by these group of old men, taking advantage of the fine weather catching up. I’m sure they’ve miss the outdoor too!

 Just would like to post the black and white version of the photo :D

Last one was taken at the top of the building near our block. A bit far but I just zoomed at its maximum to get some details.  

 Hope you all had a great weekend and a happy monday!!

Anything goes…
Filed under: Uncategorized and blah blah

Hi there, as what I’ve said before we already moved to a new apartment, I might share some pictures as soon as everything is in the right place. Nagkakagulo pa ang mga gamit namin all over the place, hahah OMG! Daming kong gagawin. It would be just another busy weekend for me, but at least I know I’ll probably be grinning right on through our upcoming christmas vacation wuho!!


By the way, please delete the link of this site in your blogroll. Forever and ever. Amen. Those who have read my rant at simply moi, then you’ll know why. That’s it. Catch up with you again next time. Hope you’re all well and as excited as I am for the coming holiday season.  Luv u all!

It’s Christmas!
I’m still here! Sorry guys I may sound nuts for jumping from one site to another. But it’s final, I’ll be staying…and I am staying hahaha! Labo ‘no? I couldn’t explain in details but I am so thankful with no other than my mamakoni.  
It’s really December! How time flies…it’s christmas! “mom, it’s only dec. 1” my daughter Joy told me when I greeted her. Yeah, dudette…I know. Mommy’s excited for the coming holiday season.
December means a lot, hub and I would be celebrating our church wedding anniversary on the 16th, his (hub) birthday would be on 22nd….of course the main reason of the celebration…Christmas day, a family reunion that will be held in our house on the 28th and the new year too. It would be a tiring task but it happens only once a year so I wouldn’t mind. I’d prefer to keep the holiday kitsch to a minimum because the other part of my brain is screaming and reminding me; RECESSION! with echoes. I’ve heard a lot about this recession and economy thing…scary huh!
I wouldn’t want to get lavish either as long as it’s a fun-filled celebration and the spirit why we are celebrating is still there ‘ayt?
Yesterday’s hustle bustle.
The weather has been kind, no rain…no snow just a cold temp and biting winds. So got my head start on some holiday shopping and checked out some stuff for “pasalubong”. Blabbing too much, and oh…I heard the scream again!     

I’m just human, I’m excited rawr!

Today…
Filed under: photohunting and random

Is Monday once again…time flies really fast, before we knew…it would pass and here comes another weekend.

Moving out to a new apartment takes all my time. We’re moving this end of the month. I was busy packing our things and had plenty of other things in my mind as I ran errands in town this weekend. Still, blogging my way is included in my routine also.
Just would like to share some photos taken last summer, I have tons of pictures in my folder but haven’t posted it. The reason why I loved taking because I am using it as my subject for my other passion which is…painting!  Be it in watercolor, acrylic, oil or just simply rendered it by pencil and ink.

I guess this fortune teller knew that she would not have customer and would rather took a nap.

I think that covers it all. Hope you all had a great  weekend.

Checking -in (^_^)
Filed under: random thoughts and foodies

Hi peeps of the world!

I am feeling good now a days, no more colds. Giz, thanks!  Sorry coz I couldn’t jump in to your site and to all my friends in blogspot also, and to Mel. There’s something wrong with our browser  *again* :(   I posted here that I created a new blogger account but I am so disappointed because I could only update it, edit and publish a new post but the actual page is not downloading lately. Holy moly!

I’m not sure if this site would still be running by next month…not sure but in case that would happen I have another one here. It’s an old site where I am updating whenever I remember it :D so see you wherever I go! bwehehe.

Today’s been snowing hard and so last weekend. What a boring days huh…I didn’t even go out last sunday. We just watched our previous trips, christmas reunions and other family activities stored from our video files. We had some good belly laughed watching it.

Let it snow…let it snow…

Sketch and net..
Filed under: friendship and Arts and Sketches
Winter’s finally here and know what? I am not feeling good these days. Nope, I didn’t catch a cold but err…the cold catched me. Dang!
That doesn’t stopped me from updating anyway…hah! If it can’t beat me..then it joined me, that is.  Talking nonsense? I’m under this antihistamine medication, felt dizzy actually….
By the way, I am so thankful with this friendster account because I and my long lost bestfriend Gillian, finally got in touched with each other. She was my teeny-boopy years bestfriend . I couldn’t find her because she’s using different surname since she already got married. I even tried searching his brother’s name and there I found her! I learned from him that Gillian’s searching me too all over the net :D . We’re both happy and excited…she’s in London, practicing her profession as a nurse in a military base, had two kids but unfortunately a failed marriage. Hmm, that is another story and I felt sorry for her.
I still could sketched her pretty face in a snap…just like I did a moment ago. This is the last image that has been registering in my memory, her teeny days look. Although years had aged her also, like me haha; she’s still as beautiful as she used to be.
       

I remember, she was approached to join a beauty contest but she was too young that time and we just laughed it off together.
Okay got to go…I think, I should catch some good Z’s to feel better.

Weekend at Nanshan
Filed under: travel

Happy Weekend!

This post is suppose to be up last monday, but our domain was down for almost a week. Because of it I did create another blog at blogger. So in case the same thing would happen again you know where to find me. I’m HERE. Pls add this one too. Thank youuuu muah!

So what’s up in me? Na-da much, besides being busy with my work; I was too busy with myself also haha! It’s getting colder here, good thing before the winter comes and going out is a bit of a hassle because of the cold weather;  I took the opportunity to visit some place. Nanshan is a bit outside of Penglai city where I am staying. The weather was great last weekend, sunny with a spirit of Autumn’s coldness. Love the scene everywhere, quite refreshing. I just walked and walked until my feet surrendered. Nawala lahat ng pressure sa utak ko. 

 

 

Such a long way to go…

So near yet so far….

Along the way….

I’ll come and get you….

At last…

Up close….

A copper buddha, 38 meters high and weighs 380 tons

Down there…hub’s coming over :D he said he’ll come and get me lol!

What a tiring day …

Have a great weekend everyone! :)

October 12

Hubby and I celebrated our 19th year civil wedding anniversary. Yes, we had our civil *secret* marriage two months before our church wedding. Haha, funny…we were both young that time why we came up with the idea since our church wedding was all set up and it was not a secret to both parties.

We had a simple celebration, he just booked a dinner room at Seafood restaurant for the two of us. Reminiscing our good old days hehe..

Here are some photos for you…

  

 

 

Look, my Aspire One! He got me a new laptop…a mini laptop…so light and easy to carry even inside my handbag. I love it!!! It’s very useful especially during out of the country meetings. No need to carry Marco which is 2x heavier than this…I named it “Dadu” why?…ewan ko rin. Lol!  

That’s all peeps, in the middle of work rush ,still got the chance to update, *bumabawi*. Have a great day to all. Muahhhh…..
