Umagang kay ganda

Friday pa lang ng gabi napagkasunduan na namin ni tartsky-the hub na lumanghap ng sariwang hangin sa tabi ng dagat ng linggo ng umaga. Unpredictable ang weather these days at madalas umulan. Time flies like a jet, fall is here. Hindi ko masyadong naramdaman ang summer dito…or sanay lang ako kapag sinabing summer sa Pinas na talagang mainit. Unlike here, mainit pero hindi kasing init at madalas windy pa and with ocassional rain.

So bago pa abutin ng taglamig kailangan nang magbanat ng buto, I mean kailangan na ng konting exercise dahil sigurado ako, couch potato na naman ang drama ng lola at matutulog na naman ang mantika sa katawan. In fact, I gain a little weight last winter. Hindi ko napansin dahil sa kapal ng suot ajejeje! (tawang jejemon)

Isang kilong tamad din kasi ako sa mga exercise exercise na iyan, aging fat na rin siguro kaya bumabagal na ang metabolism ajejeje! (ulit) dati kain lang ng kain, no exercise at awa ng diyos hindi ako tumataba, but those were the days ‘no! Hoy babae, wake up. Sabi ko sa sarili ko lol!

I wanted to share our pictures last sunday. Nag-iinarte na naman si photobucket dito so I uploaded my pics from my livejournal account.

 

@6:40 am, may mga local tourists na

 

Makulimlim ang kalangitan…

tartsky-the camera man

 

 

The sleeping fisherman

 

Morning kikayness…

 

Siya rin daw pa-cute…

 

As agreed with the hub, we took our breakie in KFC…lugaw! We’re on our way home nang bumagsak ang malakas na ulan, it lasts until monday…ho boy, ang sarap matulog!

That’s all for today. Till then…. 

Food haunting

Posted by nona | foods, random thoughts, Life in China | Thursday 12 August 2010

Happy rainy thursday from your lady bug! Today is all about updating, since we had an unfriendly weather. I have been thinking of going home to my apartment and pretend that I am sick, I just wanted to sleep snugly under my blanket. How I wish only.

This is also the time when I am craving for foods back home.

Missing my roast turkey last christmas…

 

Chicken Shawarma at Baba Ganoy

 

And the best halo halo in town…from Max!

Pat me, it’s my three years in the company. Parang kailan lang, tatlong taon na pala ako dito. Those days when I almost backed out because of language barrier. Doon ako nahirapan, makakasurvive kaya ako dito gayong hindi kami nagkakaintindihan? Simpleng pag order lang ng noodles hindi pa magawa? BUT I did! Kahit “etien tien” lang ang natutunan kong zhonggou words, at the sametime marami nang natutong magsalita ng Engguo (English) sa company kahit pabarok enggou okay na ang usapan at nagkakaintindihan na with matching sign language, its just a matter of mastery  :D   

It’s time to blog….

Howdy? It’s nice to be back again. Nasa sistema ko na yata ang blogging kahit gaano man katagal akong umaalis for sure I’ll keep on coming back. Ang bilis ng panahon parang nakatulog lang ako ng mahimbing; July na. Five months to go and here’s 2011. And how about the Apocalypse 2012? No comment, it’s scary.

Bakit ako nawala? Marami…first, I have to focus on my project’s load out. Finally five modules (which consist of three E-house, control building and Reverse Osmosis building) have been sailed off to Perth Australia. So far, one more Reverse Osmosis building is scheduled to load out by end of this month. I hope we could finish on time, and thanks to our team! I guess, we deserve another ‘angpao’.

After the load out, I went home to PH for 7 days only together with my daughter. Inayos ko lang ang enrollment niya sa college. La di da…my girl enters a new phase of her life. College na si Joy! She undergoes medical, orientation etc. Then we came back in China on May 11. And send them home again last May 29. Her school started early; twas May 31st in which naligaw siya on her first day. I guess it deserve another post. I was back last June 13th. My vacation was not more on pleasure, it’s more on a “motherly task”. In short, I don’t have time for lakwatsa. And sorry to Melski, I was not able to contact you. Wala rin time, even my kins that I suppose to visit. Sorry po talaga. I’ll make bawi next month or by September.

That’s all people. See you next time. Xoxo!

Looking forward

I’m excited to see this…taken from Nanshan last spring 2009

I am happy today, I received a bonus from the company! I didn’t expect the amount…yay! I’ll go and get a new car lol! (just kidding) Thank you Lord for the blessing.

I might be on hiatus…not sure until when…not too long, maybe two weeks :D

I am praying for the May 10th election, for the good news on the 16th…for my sis-in-law who passed away on good friday…I’ll make chika next time. Kids were on school break so need more bonding time with them. Till then friends…see you pa rin.

xoxo

Update as of May 20: Matagal akong mawawala pero babalik ako :) See you when you see me :) )

Debut for Mac

Posted by nona | random thoughts | Friday 26 February 2010

Not sure if you still remember Marco and Dadu. Finally, I’d set Marco free last december, after one year and a half of being together. No complains on its efficiency, still very hardworking and never get sick. I handed it over to my son, Ken. It wll be in good hands because Ken is masinop sa gamit. So no worry.

Dadu is still with me. I like it being small and handy. When I am multi-tasking, It’s always beside me to support my Kapritso. I need to stay online for my love ones so while I’m doing something I am using Dadu for chatting.

I’d switched to a new macbook. I am amazed with all the features. You could have two operating system such as OS Snow Leopard and Windows 7 at the same time. The graphics GE force NVidia is a thumb’s up, now I could play my Sims3 family with no lag time.

 

Dadu and mac

Long holiday is over. We didn’t go out of town, it’s still freakin’ cold here at sobrang nakakatamad lumabas. We only hit the town to do some grocery shopping. Most of the supermarkets and malls were close, bongga talaga mga intsik mag celebrate…they don’t care about the kita for the whole week. It’s not a common sight here without those crowd on the streets.

 

Glad to see that Jusco was open. Wala masyadong tao, good for me kasi mas masarap mamili kapag hindi crowded. What I like with Jusco is the neatness and the quality of goods. Jusco is one of my favorite mall during our stay in Malaysia. I was delighted to see one here in Yantai.

 

 

Ghee, notice the name of the store…long version of amesweet :D

Took some pictures inside the supermarket using my iphone. You know it’s not obvious kapag phone ang gamit. I’m not sure if camera is prohibited inside, wala namang nakalagay. This is my first time also taking photos inside the grocery store. Trip ko lang.

Colorful drinks

 

O…ha! Congrats to me

Sushi’s

 

Bought 2 sets of smorgasbord, pansin ko ang lalaki ng sushi dito

 

After the round, we grabbed our super late lunch  at “Easy way restaurant” (in english translation)

Super hungry na so we preferred the fast and easy way ika nga :D

I ordered chicken rice with veggies. Not bad…but nothing could beat the chicken rice of Malaysia and Singapore. The best I tasted so far. Hub got a beef rice topping. No pic ‘coz I don’t want to interrupt him which I always did *certified bloggers could relate what I am saying*

Can’t get over with the yumminess of my cheesecake desert….

Hub savored his blueberry too….*walang kibuan*

Hope I didn’t bore you at all. Thanks for reading.

xoxo everyone.

Ps. Dodong, it’s okay…I still could visit your site when I get home to Manila by June. Lol! Tagal pa ano. Thanks anyway. I wish too that CN would lift the ban to blogger, facebook, multiply, twitter, youtube and etc. See, sa dami di ko na mailagay lahat. I admit that blogging is two-to-tango, if you don’t visit your friends they would not too. Gosh, nag-eemo ba ako? Hahaha! Okay lang, promise.

Greetings in a Jiffy

Now you see. Okay, okay…walang bago except for my ‘fink’ theme and my title “Caprichosa” whimsical, changeable, unpredictable whatever basta type ko lang parang tunog bad at maarte lol!
Could you feel the heat? It’s summer! First time na umabot ng 37 degrees dito according to the local forecast. It only happened for one day but  ho boy…super init talaga. There were many people @ the beach esp during weekends, I didn’t go on swimming yet instead I love to feel the serenity of the place later afternoon or at night…so peaceful and relaxing sarap magmuni muni.

 

 

 

feeling emo emo ako…


Been hanging out in facebook lately, since I could not visit some of my  friend’s blog. Beside my project is at its peak. It would be load out by next month or early september. It’s a 50-man four-storey living quarters with helideck.  Lookie me…with my hard hat on. No glamour…but an image of a hardworking fella. I deserve a clap, right? Hehe…

 
That’s it, just wanted to let you know that I am still around albeit I don’t visit yours ’coz you know the reason why.

Miss you guys…

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.
