Ber and coffee

“Badeya, say do you remember?

Badeya, dancing in September

Badeya, never was a cloudy day”

I’m just singing a song of earth, wind and fire! Lol. Excited lang ‘coz September is here. Yesterday morning, while I was making an egg crepe for breakfast; Umagang kayganda of abs cbn (thru tfc) aired some christmas song as a background music, whoa! Pasko na!

Iba talaga ang feeling when christmas is in the air, excited…happy….butas ang bulsa…. Hehe!

In a jiffy thoughts, I think I should start making a list of my inaanaks and gifts, what would be our theme for christmas decors? What would be my menu for noche buena?

6:50 na time to move on” twas tartsky-the hub, means It’s my turn to take a bath na.

By the way, I don’t drink coffee anymore. People who are close to me knew how addicted am I to coffee. It was my new year’s resolution last year, pero hindi ko natupad. At first few days of rehab masakit sa ulo, para akong inaatake ng migraine. It’s been a month now without a single cup. It’s for health reason. I was suffering from severe constipation (yuck! I suppose not to tell this) for the longest time. I have tried drinking 8 glasses of water a day, I don’t eat red meat either, I am a fruit and veggies lover pero bakit wa epek? My doctor includes coffee as a culprit. I learned that too much coffee could dehydrate us. Siguro nga I consumed TOO much kaya ganoon. I’m okay now…smooth and manageable ika nga hehe. (Gross!) 

Good riddance! But I shall return…muah, miss you. lol. :D

Comes to life….

What about? I’m always out and about :D   Kids were on school break so you could imagine how busy “ME” is me. Weekend is always fully booked and apparently we have more out of town trips coming up wuho! I’ll just post some photos on my next stop or whenever I’m free. For now, I’ll share this pic  I took this morning in front of our apartment. Ahh…finally, spring is on the horizon. I love spring,  when everything comes to life, plants are prosperous. I saw birds and heard them twitting and chirping, they’re back from hibernation too. Hello spring, bye winter!

Colorful days

Still here…

Hey yah! I’m alive and still kicking! Thanks to your concern guys…touched ako :)  I myself, had no idea what happened hindi kami nakapanood ng news kagabi, only this morning when I opened my email and was flooded by concerned email from offline friends and relatives. Malayo po kami doon, don’t worry and thank you.

I won’t be able to bloghop this much, heto kaharap ko drawings, calculator blah blah work load argh! I had some work deadline mga friends kaya nagnakaw ng oras para makapag-update ng madalian. Bawi ako after this.

Moving on…I would like to greet all mommies and your mommies a belated Happy mother’s day. Paano kayo nag-celebrate with your family? Mine?…it’s like this. I woke up at around 6:30 in the morning, hub’s already awake watching Tv at the living room. He greeted me casually..nothing else! no kiss? no hug? 

He told me that it’s the perfect time to have a cup of coffee, demanded and joke that since it’s my day, I should make him a delicious mother’s day coffee. ganun??

I went straight to the dining room and when i opened the door through…tada! I was stunned by the special candle with effects that seems like a tiny fireworks on top of the cake…with my three children gathered around at sabay sabay bumati. awww…I was so touched. My kids used to wake up very very late during school holiday at hindi normal sa kanila ‘yun. I really appreciate their efforts. I’ve no idea of the whole thing or where did they got and stored the cake kasi wala akong nakitang cake sa fridge the night before. Hmmm magaling magsabwatan ang mag-ama huh…buti na lang yummy pa rin at ‘di nasira hehe. Magkakasama kami the whole saturday, we hopped from one mall to another. Then, later afternoon my son Ken told me he’ll go home first because he needs to do some happy ‘pu-pu’! haha, ‘yun pala yun. On top of that of course, I was very happy. We continued the fun , hub cooked a sumptuous lunch nag feeling senyora muna ako. Then we went out for a special dinner that night. It was raining and very cold…pero ok lang, enjoy pa rin.

That’s it, hala back to work muna ako. Pasaway ‘no? See you…muah!

 

What’s in store?

Hello people, hello blogworld!

I had a long weekend because of “pure brightness” festival here, it was a three day holiday. I haven’t done my usual bloghopping and sorry for that…you know why?

Our department had organized a mountaineering activity last saturday in Ai mountain and I was so dead tired yesterday, my legs are screaming in pain but I’ve no misgiving , it was fun and we really enjoyed the actions. I brought along my kiddos and hubby (belonged from other dept.) joined our trip too.

I’ll post some pictures on my next line, for now…here’s for you!

Goodbye winter, hello spring!

Finally, it’s spring time here and the weather is fine at 6 degrees C

Flowers flowers everywhere! :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Happy Monday everyone :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Posted by nona | anything goes | Friday 18 January 2008

Happy new year to all! late ko na kayo nabati…sa hindi nakakaalam nagdown ang site ko, nagkaroon ng minor problem. Basta ang importante heto at bumalik na. Thanks to mamakoni and to manay ethel! Congratulations nga pala sa iyo lolli for having your twins safe and sound.

Here, new year…new life…new chapter. Sa dami ng pangyayari di ko naman alam ngayon kung saan ako mag-uumpisa.

Just arrived here in China last Jan. 13, 1 week delay ang balik ko dito paano delayed din ang flight namin ni hub pauwi ng pinas. We’re supposed to fly on the 20th of Dec, lahat okay na…we’re set to go…sobrang gloomy ng araw na iyon, ang kapal ng fog habang walang tigil ang snowfall. Hinatid pa rin kami sa airport, 2-5 meters visibility kaya pagdating ng airport ang daming stranded, all flight was cancelled! huhuhu…gusto kong magwala, alam niyo iyon? ‘yung feeling na excited ka na, uwing uwi ka na then suddenly biglang *poof!* hindi natuloy? Lahat pinapa-inquire ko kay hub yung mga route kung saan puwede, even the bullet train going to Beijing..etc etc.

see pic…

On our way to the airport

Afternoon, naglakad lakad na lang kami at nag-emote

Hopeless, kaya nang mahimasmasan ako tinanggap ko na rin…hinatid uli kami ng company driver sa apartment. Sad pero naisip ko rin better safe than sorry. No more available flight for friday and saturday kaya 23rd na natuloy ang uwi namin.

Medyo nagka-slight fever naman ako the following day pagdating dito, nabigla siguro ang katawan ko sa sobrang lamig. From hot temp. galing pinas  to negative (-10) ang sumalubong sa amin. Sabi nga ni Mr. Peck sa akin never catch a cold, oo nga kaso the cold catched me. Okay na po ako ngayon kaya heto blogging to the max na naman :)

Happy weekend!

 

“Espiritu ng pasko”

Posted by nona | anything goes | Wednesday 5 December 2007

Christmas is fast approaching, most of us were looking forward of the holiday season. Hindi ko pa napi-feel ang spirit ng pasko dito, no street decors, no giant tree or lanterns, no christmas song air on tv or radio…I understand, they don’t celebrate christmas here. Kaya naman kahit papaano I put up my tiny Santa in one corner of our apartment, lonely niya ano? wala kasi akong mabiling christmas tree dito.

But the height is, pinayagan na akong umuwi! “I’m so excited, and I just can’t hide it…I know I’ve got to lose control but I think I like it!” huh, napapakanta at napapasayaw pa ako sa tuwa. My boss allow me for 12 days only, sa august pa dapat ako entitled to take a VL well, not bad pwede na rin…at least..(^_^) ‘di ba?

I’m sure, matatagalan na naman akong makapag update kaya heto…pagsabayin ko na :)

I’ll do the tag from Lolli, correct ka ‘day, kahit hide and seek gagawin ko pa rin eto hehehe…

1.)  Would you rather be alone OR surrounded by enemies for the rest of your life?

Pwede na sanang I’d rather be alone kaso for the rest of my life? hmmm, parang mahirap ‘atang mag-isa habambuhay, sige para enjoy…I’ll be surrounded by enemies na lang para challenging! lol!

2.)  Are you an early bird OR a night owl?

I used to be a night owl, but not anymore…once I get going, I keep rolling and it’s best to go to bed as early as I can and keep my energy levels up.

3.)  When sick, do you prefer to be pampered OR left alone?

Of course, I want to be pampered…minsan nga nagsasakit sakitan lang ako , then aalagaan ako ni hub hahaha.

4.)  Do you believe in the relative OR the absolute truth?

Absolute truth, kahit anong mangyari…at the end of the day, the truth will prevail.

5.)  Which is worse, the burning question OR the painful truth?

Painful truth, although masakit tanggapin ang katotohanan I have to accept and face it, truth can set us free, ‘ika nga.

That’s it! :) I’m passing this tag to Ann-ni-t2-kd, Raquel and Dodong Flores

The last but not the least, I’d like to thanked the gorgeous CARLOTZ for having me as her “BLOG of the WEEK” kaya lang, ganda I’m sorry hindi ko matanggap personally ang recognition mo kasi hindi ako makapasok sa site mo. Bakit kaya? hindi kaya may kinalaman eto sa patutsadahan ng intsik at panamerikano? lol! Ganunpaman, thanks…I really appreciate it, sobra! :)
