Best offer of the month

To chat! It’s because I am nowhere to go…I mean I could not still access most of the blogsites I used to visit. Mas nauubos ang time ko dati sa bloghopping. Mas naeenjoy ko magbasa ng mga post kesa sa magpost. Namimiss ko na ang mga updates niyo.

I never knew that LJ is a cool blogging place until I have tried to create another version of Caprichosa. The posting and uploading is easy as 1-2-3. Friends, I am cordially inviting you to try it…obvious ba? Para ma-access ko rin sana kayo lol! There is no harm and is absolutely free. See yah when I see you.

I could still reckon how excited I were when I got hold my first film SLR as a birthday present from my brother. He bought it during their first dry dock in Greece, he is a seaman. Those were my college days pa. The camera is still working but never used it for a long time. 

Finally I got time to blog my new baby, a Canon EOS 450D. The Canon’s digital rebel. Akala ko di ko siya magugustuhan ‘coz Nikon D90 is my first choice. My friend who owns a Canon 400D advised me to *better* get the 450, my capricious mind is active again.Nagbago isip ko @ the last minute. I called hub in Singapore, that time he was already @ Funan center. Nakahabol pa ako, at least I saved a few bucks ’coz the cost of D90 is more hefty than 450D. 

We also canvassed and compared the price here in China lumalabas na mas mahal pa dito than buying outside CN. Sa peke lang sila mura pffft!  So this is it, my new baby…need more bonding time, and  I have to save for the macro lens.

Sobrang magastos ako lately, I admit. I had just purchased an IPhone, a Sony printer and this camera just in one month. Guilty! I still could hear my dad’s voice saying….“save for the rainy days my dear”. Don’t worry ‘Pa, I would. Starting today….promise! Promise na talaga.

Did I say Macro lens? Forget it, okay?    

Btw, here’s my babies

Thanks for reading, tagal ng update ano? Oo nga pala…pautang ha!! hahaha!   

Gone haywire?  I’m referring to the tricky limbo time when the season had officially changed, but the weather has not. Yesterday it’s been snowing heavily for the whole day. “Winter is back”! My officemate screamed. Last week, I already stored some of my winter clothing and got it replace with spring’s traditional dressing because we had a consistent 8 degrees for the past two weeks. Unexpectedly, here comes the snow again and the temp dropped @ negative 5. I’m already tired wearing those layered of clothes for 6 months now. *Ang dami kasing nilalabhan*   Ang hirap maglaba!

By the way, I’ve got a little something (as she said) from my friend Aida….she just came back from Australia to spend sometime with her son. She’s living in Malaysia and she just sent it through a common friend. I was touched….’coz we haven’t had communications for more than a year now and was surprised to received the loot with a note yesterday. aww…thanks mah friend, It’s a big thing for me, the thoughts of it. I’ll give you a call promise. *As if she’s reading my post?*

Here’s the one, a combi of black beads and white pearl bracelet.

One more thing to get excited, kiddos would be here this sunday!

That’s it, just a filler. Kailangan nang mag-update to get rid of the fabulous and freaky 

*I even deleted my close up pic. awww…*

Gong xi fa cai! Angpao lai lai!
Happy new year everyone. I’m super late. But I hope we could still grooving. It’s been ages since my last post, actually sama sama na lahat…busy at work, homesickness…holiday aftershock…laziness, weather (too cold) and all. I just got my time now because of the long holiday here in mainland, spring festival and chinese new year. Oh my, banyak makan lagi! Haha, means…puro kain na naman eto. I haven’t get rid all the extras I gained during my vacation.

2009 na! What’s in store for us? Too many blessings and good things that happened to me and my family last year. ‘Though, we couldn’t get all what we wanted but at least…it’s not bad and I am very thankful after a blow late of 2006 when our long running company of 21 years has been grabbed by our trusted business partner in other country (not in Phil). I’ll not put any details by now, maybe some other time ikukuwento ko sa inyo. Basta iyon na yun. I thought it only happens in the movie but it happened to us…in real life. Anyway, I’ve been through with that. I already forgave them. God has other plans for us I believed, he didn’t do it for us to suffer but indeed for a more better opportunity. I didn’t even question Him why? We just roll with the punches and go with the flow.  If He closes the door He opened a bigger window, wider. O ha! Those people who did it to us were now facing some legal problems. All I could say is…”thank you Lord, now we know”. Hub’s business were doing good as well as his work, it’s a double thanks! I could sing my heart out with Shakira’s line “all the things I deserved for being such a good girl…” correction, I’m not a girl…I’m a woman.   Kumusta naman ang holiday season ko? Well, same question for you guys kumusta naman ang sa inyo? I hope lahat kayo naging masaya and wishing you more happiness and blessings. Medyo bitin nga lang ang bakasyon ko, okay na rin kesa hindi natuloy. Muntik na talaga kaming hindi matuloy. Our flight is from  Shanghai to Manila last 22nd of Dec. Then we still have to fly from our place Yantai city to Shanghai on the same day  @ 4:50pm  but 4 days before our flight biglang nagbago ang weather condition. Snowy and foggy and according to forecast; there is a snow storm coming on Dec. 21^st to 22  Oh no! Not again. Taranta ang lola niyo. We rebooked our flight to Shanghai on Dec. 20 it cost us almost doubled not included the hotel, the heck! Ayaw ko na maulit ang nagyari last year. In short, we stayed in Shanghai for 1 day and 2 nights. My friend called us that we did a good decision kasi kanselado lahat ng  flight from our place and his flight going to Singapore via Beijing was cancelled too. O di ba? Kung hindi baka naglupasay na naman ako sa airport.
The day we arrive Manila, hubby received a call that his brother was rushed to St. Lukes hospital. Wala pa kaming pahinga we headed to the hospital at ayun. Thank goodness, he’s fine now after his kidney transplant tsk tsk, another story. Whew…the rest ay okay naman. We celebrated christmas our traditional way, lotsa foodies! Exchanged and opening of gifts after our noche buena. Family reunions with both sides, reunion parties with friends…new year’s party at home…hay, kakamiss. *sniff*
We did spent an overnight stay in Tagaytay as our family bonding, that morning we stopped over @ Enchanted Kingdom in Sta Rosa. We tried some rides, kulang pa ako sa tulog so after one ride aww, nahilo agad ako.

Few photos to share…

View from the hotel…

  I miss sunshine! 

We tried the zipline too…wuho!! (with my daughter..)

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!
 

Yes, hubby is back last Wednesday. No more lonely nights and take home foods. That’s why I was not around to hop that much. Lots of catching up you knows.

He brought me pasalubong goodies from Pinas, although I did not ask for it. Funny because all the stuff in my mind that I wanted; I got it! Even my favorite magazine, a shirt I wanted from Beijing Olympics, and a box of ensaymada lol!

  The moment I got it, I couldn’t help to chomp! nyum…

We’re always like this; our minds connect. Most of the married couple do I guess, do you believe so? That is one funny thing being a married.

He got me some tops and bling bling too. He said he couldn’t take buying his own stuff without getting something for me. That’s sweet and thoughtful. Yeah, that’s why I loved this man!

Last night, we had our dinner at steamboat restaurant. The place is good, very oriental. I don’t know the name because it is in Chinese character.

I haven’t had a good meal since I was alone. I miss real foods. Rawr! Rawr!

Although the night was cold, we just walked on our way home.  

Okay got to go! Have a great weekend everyone.

This is what I am doing at times when I don’t have much work to do. It’s my habit, even when I am talking to somebody over the phone; I am sketching unconciously, after talking, makikita ko na lang nakabuo na pala ako. If you would see my desk at work I had lots of paper with sketches of anything, clothes, faces, etc.

Wala lang, wala lang din akong maipost hehe. I’m not in the mood to post something personal lately, if you notice…just more on tags or LP entry. *Sigh*…wala lang. Just thinking, I’m blogging for more than two years now. I miss some of my online buddies who lost their interest in blogging…ever since nauso ang monetizing. Ups…don’t get me wrong, I have nothing against it, in fact hindi lang kaya ng time ko kaya di ko magawa iyan. Kaya go go lang! Iilan na lang kaming natitira haha! Although we still get in touch through emails. Ilang beses ko na rin binalak to quit but you told me, I should stick in this world with you…pero asan ka? tinamad ka na rin haha! I miss you guys!

Happy Monday to all!!!

Time for blog again after 9 days of not being able to visit you and even my dear bloggie. I went back here in China 2 days ago. During my previous trip I usually took the Beijing route from Manila, and this is the first time I tried Shanghai way. The airport is huge and beautiful. Although I arrived almost 12:45 midnight, too tired and sleepy yet, I still manage to take some photos inside. It’s all for the sake of blogging hehe…

My flight to Yantai City (my final destination) is 9:55 am the following day, I checked-in @ airport’s hotel to spend the night. I got pissed off ‘coz I’m asking for a single-bed room only obviously I’m alone, but the receptionist told me that no more vacant single-room and the only avalaible is the deluxe room which is of course more expensive. Well, business tactics huh..I had no choice but to take the bloody deluxe room she was offering. 

I was too tired and my head’s already spinning so I was fast asleep.

After 4 hours of blissful sleep I  was awakened by my mobile’s phone alarm which I set before tiring to bed. My phone service is dead and couldn’t call hubby to inform him that I’m in Shanghai, knowing lately that he hadn’t slept well because he’s frantically worried where am I and why I hadn’t called him? 

I took a cab going to Hong qiao (domestic airport), got my luggage checked-in and everything. Whew, the security were so strict but it’s okay, it’s for everybody’s safety and no questions about it. Our boarding time is 9:15…around 8:30 there is an announcement that our flight and other flights going to Yantai city will be delay because of the weather condition. Visibility problem due to the thick fog in Yantai. Oh no! Not again! At times like this, I don’t need juicy fruit gums anymore….

Good thing Marco’s with me, he’s my companion and my only consolation during those 6 hours of waiting. hey, this is Marco…not that gorgeous huh..! Luckily, my phone network was activated at that time also. Hubby and I were able to communicate each other, he’s already at yantai airport.

 ”Marco”

Finally we boarded at 12:35 …delayed is better than cancelled. Thanked GOD we arrived safe and sound.

Hub, gave me this flowers upon my arrival. I was tickled  *woot*

There you go…my amazing blah blah’s for the day.
