I am so sad. Everything is set but i need to cancel one of my most awaited travel next due to work related issue.. Macau and Hongkong trip will not happen on January. We're planning to go there instead on May to celebrate our Anniversary which means that we need to cancel our Bali trip. Hays.

I hope that i will have the answer tomorrow..

Dad and Mom's bash

2011-11-08T23:44:00.009+08:00

Our surprise birthday party was a success. ^_^

Lucky and I arrived 4:00 am at NAIA Terminal 1 and went straight home.. reached Tanay at 6:00 am and started the preparation for the party.

Without enough sleep.. thinking of my dad and mom's smile kept me going the whole morning.

At 10am my parents are not yet aware that i am already busy preparing for their party.

With the help of family and friends we were able to pull out a very convincing and dramatic surprise my dad and mom ever had.

My mom literally cried on the street when she saw their friends waving at them. (We're supposed to eat lunch at DAd's Megamall with the whole family.)

My brother who was assigned to accompany my dad and mom and make sure that they will not go out of our house was surprised as well. It's his 21st birthday and we did not let it just passed without celebrating it.

Love made stronger by friendship.

Ber month is here!

2011-09-01T13:01:00.003+08:00

When i woke up this morning the first person that flashes in my head is Nanay (Lola Roning). It's the 1st day of 'ber' month and during these day it is in their house that i can hear the first Christmas song for the family with matching singing portion with my cousins. ^_^

Time passed by so fast that i did not even notice that this coming months of celebration will be my second christmas and new year without my family. Although i go home very often, still i cannot deny the fact that i missed my family during holidays and the way we get along together is something i will not miss for anything.. it's just that i have no choice but to be here for work.

I missed my family. For real.

2011-08-21T17:14:00.003+08:00

I am quite confused now. ^_^ Lucky won't be joining our trip on January (still keeping my fingers crossed) so i need to set our 2nd anniversary. Our first choice is Bali and still sticking to it. I am planning it with Val this time, she and her boyfriend -who is one of my good friend as well will join us.

What are words

2011-08-17T11:07:00.004+08:00

I am so touched by the music video of Chris Medina's --What are words. I know it's quiet late to know this kind of beautiful song.. I love this na. ^_^

AVENGERS

2011-08-02T17:06:00.003+08:00

I've watched them all.. And i won't miss their movie together for anything.. ^_^. Excited much.

Family Bonding at Macau and HK

2011-07-16T19:43:00.006+08:00

It's official. My Sister and brother in law's honeymoon will be a week after their wedding. Instead of them celebrating it together.. "We" will be with them.. hahaha..

I have mentioned in my previous blog entry that we will have a birthday part on October for our parents.. but they decided to join the tour in exchange for the party. (Nice choice) lolz.

Mark and Yana's honeymoon with Dad. Mom. Lucky. Grace. Mikel (Mark's brother). DT (Yana's bestfriend). Serwin (housemate here in Sg).

Can't wait. yeah. Ticket. booked. Hotel. Next.

2011-07-16T12:46:00.003+08:00

Very nice message for me today.

Dream no small dream for they have no power to move the hearts of men.

A dream written down with a date becomes a goal.

A goal broken down becomes a plan.

A plan backed up by action makes your dream come true.

Effort is the best way to realizing your dreams.

Monte Carlo

2011-07-10T02:22:00.015+08:00

Me and my hubby's plan for our next day off is just to stay at home, watch movie online and have a cup of coffee. I am hesitant to ask him watch the movie with me since it's more of like a girly movie so i asked my friend to go with me instead. But unfortunately, she just watched the movie with some of her friends too.. So i've decided to just watch it alone. Yeee.. But my hubby.. sweet as he always is.. volunteer to watch it with me. So sweet. I hurriedly booked the ticket before he change his mind. lolz. Really loving him so much. Monte Carlo on Tuesday. Feels so good to have a hubby like him.

"A young woman, her uptight step sister and her best friend use their savings for a long anticipated dream trip to Paris, which turns out to be a big disappointment. When they decide to take a break from their blousy tour and duck into the lobby of a 5-star hotel, one of them is mistaken for a spoiled British heiress. Before they get the chance to reveal their true identities they are wrapped up in a whirlwind of paparazzi, private planes, couture gowns, storybook romances, and a vacation in Monte Carlo. "

So excited.

Cowboy  Cowgirl

2011-07-08T00:04:00.004+08:00

During their college days my dad and mom was part of what they call Cowgirls and Cowboys in their school. lolz. That is why for their 50th birthday we've decided that the theme will be western.

Busy for their upcoming event. This will be one of the best event of my life.. to see them celebrate birthday together. (My mom's bday was cancelled last January coz hubby and i can't go home. So we've decided to have this party on October. So excited for this.. aw.

2011-07-07T23:32:00.005+08:00

New addition to our collection. At first we are planning to get a macbook pro 15" but decided to have this instead. Hubby will use it at work while i'll be using it for business.. hihi.

At first, i am hesitant to get it since i know that there are lots of problem with Ipad2 (don't ask me why -- it's just that I know ^_^) Hubby still convinced me to have one since he is only using ipod which originally was his gift to me but i don't use very often so he take charge. Glad that i made him smile when i finally said yes.

I am happy seeing him very excited on this. Oh yeah, haven't get it yet. Just ordered it and will arrive mid this month. Hubby text me everyday to follow up. haha. I am so excited to play with it and watch movie together while on our way to work. Isn't it so cool?! Another

Photo shoot

2011-07-05T00:32:00.004+08:00

My hubby play with my cam during his day off. I had my first pictorial and i am so excited to have another session with him. He did good for a first time serious pictorial.. lolz.

Love et.

2 day off means...

2011-06-18T15:06:00.006+08:00

Two day off means a lot to my hubby. That is why we make sure that every off he have, he will have a good rest and have fun.

Our first plan is to watch the movie in Malaysia and eat at Seoul Garden. But my hubby and i think that it's time our housemate have some bonding moment together. July 3, 2011. yey! We choose to watch transformers (one of our fave movie) -- I bet this one will be one of the best movie this year..

And that day.. i'll be buying my first travel notebook.. soooo excited.

The day after that my hubby will play.. ^_^ I'll have my first photoshoot with him. Weeeh..

New found best friend

2011-06-10T20:22:00.005+08:00

Walking around Orchard this afternoon and surprised to see my two new best friends. I promised myself to buy one per piece every month of my choice.. yey! with hubby's approval.

I am so loving Singapore ^-^ So much to see.

Open letter for my hubby

2011-05-27T19:31:00.008+08:00

His mom gave him the nickname Lucky because she was a Vilmanian. But who would have though that Julius aka Lucky is also one hell of a lucky guy?! with so much of love he received from everyone. In return, this guy never fails to show his love to all for just one simple reason.. he wants all of us to be happy.

His real name suits his characteristics, JULIUS (LUCKY) MASAYA . -- being happy is not a problem to him. Even at the saddest part of his life, he can still make you feel happy or make you laugh.

Hi baby -- so here it is.. my letter to you.. lolz. Happy 14th month as hubby and wifey. I know you have given a lot for me and sacrificed so much :) without complaining even a bit. I am so lucky to have someone like you. Let me have this opportunity to tell you how sorry i am for the times that i made you feel sad and alone. And i thank you for the never ending love you are giving me.. I will support you all the way as promised I love you so much. I am so proud of you. Soon you will be more happy when the one that we are praying for will come true. Excited?! lolz. Love you.

P.S. Thank you for always making your spoiled brat wifey smile even i always frown in front of you.

2011-05-27T16:00:00.003+08:00

i love our new passport holder. Hopefully i can get use of it very often. lolz. Sweet escapades is definitely 'still' on baby.

My hubby and i decided to have just one travel in a year.. but currently.. i am soon to break that agreement..lolz.

One more thing that my eyes has been looking for a very very long time.. hahaha.. DAMN! I love their luggage.

The reason why i hate malls here in Singapore.

DREAMING again. haha. I love dreaming with my bestfriend. Even some of them are too far to reach.. still i am loving every single second of it.

Falling in love over and over again.

2011-05-14T14:28:00.003+08:00

I am falling in love over and over again. A life with him is not a perfect one, we have our own flaws and a lot of not so good things happening within our relationship. But every time i am with him, every thing seems to be so perfect.. so light.. so good.

Hubby and Wifey

2011-04-26T00:23:00.003+08:00

Each day i thank God having you in my life :D

My Passion.

2011-04-24T17:58:00.006+08:00

When?! Hmm. I hope one day i will be attending their seminar. ^-^ Looking forward for it.

Currently, I am enjoying my work here in Singapore. But still i am missing my work as an Event Coordinator. Once in a while i deal with clients who wished to have our service but cannot fully commit to closely monitor their events since i am quite busy with my work.

"Bring it on." This is what i've been telling myself from the start. I know i can work under pressure. I can make a mistake but i will surely get on tract in no time. Now?! yeah. Still telling that to myself. I am determined to make a name for our team. It will take time and a lot of efforts but i am pretty sure that we are getting there.

While browsing the net, I saw the site for this Event Coordination seminar here in Singapore. But when i saw the fee involved.. haha. Jaw dropped. With the price?! I can have my office renovated.

Hopefully, i can find any school that will offer a much cheaper price for a seminar. Hihi. I really want to enhance my skills, although experience is the best teacher.. it's nice to meet people having the same passion as i have. Soon gracey. Soon.

Val's vacation

2011-04-24T10:08:00.006+08:00

A day tour with Val, Aidz and Hubby at Bintan, Indonesia.

Val, is a friend since College (thesis mate as well) ^-^ The moment she asked me where to stay in Singapore.. i told her she can stay at our place.. who would say "NO" to that?! haha.

A very short vacation in Bintan completed her stay. Much to my delight, while having a vacation.. we are planning another vacation. haha. I love et. She also loves traveling (btw she's a cabin crew for Saudia) and we both love adventure. aw.

Very nice to have her for about 4 days. Looking forward for an adventure with her in Korea on February. It's just a plan. Hopefully, we can go. haha. Knowing her?! with the free tickets she have on hand.. waaaah.. pity me.. need to save a lot. waaaah. ^_^

2011-04-22T18:20:00.005+08:00

I always keep a notebook in my bag. It's a fact. If you're with me the whole day, you will notice that at some point i will take it out and write something.. or even just stare at it.lol.

Today at 6:00 pm an idea popped out my mind.. I will write a book. (haha) Still thinking of where and how to start but i will definitely have one. I want to write something that will mainly focus on the relationship of a young couple and all the things around it.

Hope I can start tomorrow.. hahaha.. implusive. aw. brrrrr.

Happiness to the the nth level

March 26, 2010 - The day we tied the knot. And now time passed by so fast that we will be celebrating our anniversary.

We choose a place where we can relax and have fun. Details after our celebration. It will be a week before our day.

Beach. Beach. Beach. I am so loving et.

Surprise Surprise!

2011-03-03T00:11:00.004+08:00

While walking to meet up with Lucky.. i saw him hiding with his Singaporean friend but eventually show up in front of me.

Gracey: I saw you hide something in your pocket.

Lucky: That's nothing.

Gracey still not convinced. Put hand in the pocket and when she pulled the thing inside it.. A Blackberry torch.

I am amazed. But i know it was a big joke. How can he bought it when i know that i am in control of the budget. ahahaha.

Saleh: Ate, kuya bought it for you.

Gracey: No la, i know it's not mine. Not his type to buy me a phone when he's telling me not to buy a Fried prawn noodle. haha

Saleh: Kuya very bad. I didn't know you're like that.

Lucky: No. It's for his girlfriend.

Saleh: But ate you like blackberry too?!

Gracey: Yeah, i love it.

Hubby and I went to mrt and talking about the blackberry again.

Gracey: I really love the blackberry

Lucky: We'll buy after our anniversary. I saw 3 colors black, white and red. What do you want?

Gracey: I want the red. Love et.

Then all of a sudden, Lucky handed the phone. Waaaaaah. Speechless.

I cannot thank him enough seeing the Blackberry torch red. Aw. It comes with a note. And i am so loving him more. Not because of what he can give but of how he can make me feel when he pulled out a good surprise. I can see that shining eyes while handing me the phone as if he wanted to cry. haha.

Hubby and Wifey's month is March. And now, i am receiving early surprises from hubby. Whew. 17 days to go for our post honeymoon... what more to expect?! So excited. Being with him for 3 days in a getaway will definitely make this month a memorable one.

Night out with the boys

2011-02-27T01:10:00.002+08:00

Today is our 11th monthsary. Hubby and I just hang out together after work. Even though a bit tired, we are currently having a drink with our housemates. Such a crazy night while watching Windstruck..

Hugs & Kisses

2011-02-21T00:49:00.002+08:00

Hubby and Wifey's never ending mushy mushy together.

Impulsiveness

2011-02-11T00:19:00.009+08:00

"is a personality trait characterized by the inclination of an individual to initiate behavior without adequate forethought as to the consequences of their actions, acting on the spur of the moment."

When you look at me wearing a simple shirt and jeans you would think that i am just an ordinary girl.. but I am not! For a woman named "Grace" doing many things is a normal routine.. (on a daily basis). There are times that they will ask me where do i get the energy with this kind of body.. 'THIN' -- but can carry 1/2 cavan of rice or be a spotter during our cheer dancing days that can lift people?! The answer. I still don't know. Or maybe it's the determination. Or maybe it's because I believe I can do it. Or it can be because I do it without thinking that I can't and hurriedly do it.

"I want to go on vacation..booked! I want to buy that..swiped! I want try that food..bought! These are the top 3 reason why I know I am a one hell of an IMPULSIVE gal.

Whenever we have get together and childhood memories will be the topic, one thing that they will not forget was the time when I always said "I want that Ma. That also." Even if it's not needed as long as it's cute -- no one can stop me from buying it.

At some point i've realized that being impulsive is not good because you tend to go on for something that is not a necessity and most especially it affects your budgeting for the whole month. GUILTY On the second thought, it can also give you a satisfaction and fulfillment because you will be able to do or get what you want.. Think about the positive side. lolz.

Impulsive -- I am one. But I don't regret any of the decision I've made. I am currently enjoying my life at the same time trying to control this kind of behavior as I need to bear in mind that I am now sharing a decision with someone whose opinion matters -- a lot... my Hubby Beski.

Taj Mahal

2011-01-16T22:46:00.002+08:00

Talking to my indian friend this afternoon and we both agreed that we love Taj Mahal. Aw. So loving it..lol. Hopefully, her father will allow us.. haha.. (she's my boss daughter) Yiiiii.. A romantic place to be..

Surprise Gift

2011-01-15T02:01:00.011+08:00

My hubby got a gift from his wifey :) So happy to see that smile. The book Wordplay that we've been looking for since last year. And it comes together with a perfume.. that is full of love and E-F-F-O-R-T. Together with my colleagues, i was able to find it.. 2 hours of walking is nothing compared to that happy face i saw when i handed it to him.

And i got a surprise too :) And i cannot tell it yet. Actually, i've blogged it already but i cannot tell the details. But i am just so happy knowing that it actually came true!!! Love et.

Revealed

2011-01-13T23:10:00.009+08:00

My dream!!! -- that i never mentioned to anyone but myself. ^_^ and my hubby. I had a customer who is taking his masteral here in Singapore. Waah. It's my dream to take masters degree after i graduated last 2005 but my dad won't let me.

Now, i am here again thinking of taking it to the next level. Maybe i can have it here in Singapore. But oh my, the price is way beyond my expectation.. waha. Maybe i can just take it in the Philippines. I can do this.. 3 more years.. I will :) That's a promise to myself.

Always learn from my experiences.

Never get tired.

Be sensitive enough.

Live-Laugh-Love.

Be inspired with the people around me.

My family and friends most especially.

Let God be the center of my life.

Aside from having my hubby and I's kitchen to be one of our favorite part to hangout. I wished to have my own library. Since our house will be something we will really push through with after ? years. I love et.

So nice to have a lot of books.

Celebrating Christmas 2010

2010-11-21T14:00:00.007+08:00

Simplygracey

2010-11-21T12:09:00.008+08:00

It's been a while since my last blog. And a lot of changes with my lifestyle. And most especially, a lot of changes.. within myself. So proud of myself now.

I am working now. And I still coordinate events in the Philippines. How can i do that?! Simple. Surround your self with people who you can trust. And everything will be just like before.

I admit it is not easy. Sometimes I can't update my work back in the Philippines because i am a bit busy here in Singapore. But because i have someone who reminds me everyday, even late at night.. I will. --Thanks to my hubby. lol.

Learning to be independent is easy most especially when you have no choice. lolz.

As i've experienced different things here.. i've learned to value a lot of what i have. And learned to save and not spend so much. Living life independently without my dad and mom is hard. lol. Because i am used to just work for them and they give me my allowance, but most of my daily needs was available in our house. So i need not to worry. -- being single and still with my parents is the best. lol.

But now?! I have to go to the market to buy things for me and my hubby. Have a notebook of our expenses. To go to work and talk to people. To cook before my hubby go home. Do the laundry --using washing machine (^_^). Iron my hubby's uniform. --just the uniform. Here's one thing, we never iron clothes here not unless we will go to church or attend an event.

10 things i need to do here in Singapore.

WAKE UP EARLY!!! Please.

Always take note of all the expenses and bills.

Always!!!! Bring my camera wherever i go. Because, scenes here in Singapore are soooo damn beautiful.

Take note of the things you experience for the first time.. Because you can use it in the future.. BELIEVE ME.

Keep in touch with your loved ones. And also your business partners and clients as well.

READ A LOT of books. It can help me to relax a bit.

The thing that i hate to bring the most in the Philippines.. now i have in my bag.. Just because there is no tricycle here in Singapore and the only way i can go home is by mrt and a long walk to our house. (TAXI is not an option here. lol.) Need to bring umbrella day and night.

Make my hubby feel sooo special by at least cooking breakfast 2x a week. -- but i am trying to make it 7x a week. Really! Give him chocolate once a week. Going home with him after work even if i wait for an hour. Do the laundry. Hugs and Kisses daily. Eat at hawker and treat him by ordering his favorite.. LAKSA and ICED COFFEE. And most of all.. Pray together.. --the sweetest thing we do as hubby and wifey.

Since i am newbie at work.. Always ASK question.. but once i asked for it. NEVER repeat it again. Take note of everything. Don't just nod and nod and nod.

ONE of the most important thing to do. Even foods are so expensive.. just go and eat a LOT. Because by doing so.. the satisfaction it can give you is priceless. ^_^

SIMPLY+GRACEY=

Eye Opener

2010-10-14T18:47:00.003+08:00

i have a new icon in my side bar. The words that i'll always remember..

I woke up early and was shocked of the news from my sister. "Ate love and kuya bok's youngest daughter past away. -- she's just 2 yrs. old. Respiratory problem. She is just a kid.

I go online on Yahoo this afternoon and Joan's status is "taken away so young...." she is referring to her cousin who died at the age of 19 in an accident.

Life is too short.. we don't know until when we are gonna stay here. Time to move. Time to share your life to other people..time to do the things you know you need to do.. and time to be faithful to God.

Live-Laugh-Love.

Live your life to the fullest.

Laugh everyday.

Love beyond words.

Missing Hubby

2010-08-17T14:01:00.007+08:00

It's exactly 1 month and 6 days since lucky left for Singapore. For the first time in our relationship we see each other on webcam everyday.. It's hard. I can still remember the first week without him.. It feels like i always want to go out with friends so at least i can't think of the fact that i'd be going home without him..

I missed everything about him. And all the things that we do most especially our road trips. Whew. That's life. Sometimes you need to be away with each other. I am so happy that our love grows stronger everyday. He's so sweet. He never stop surprising me with everything.. Simple thoughts that can melt my heart.

I can still remember his promise.. to go around Singapore with me and take me to different restaurant for our food trip.. lol. Hope to see him soon. I just don't know when.. sigh.

From HUBBY with LOVE

So loving them.

Sobrang kulit nila ngayon. And ang dami ng alam gawin. This is their first outing. Can't get them out of the pool even they are shaking. An afternoon of laughter and a lot of fun. Looking forward for another day with them..

Missing Panget - Over and over again

2010-06-06T22:29:00.017+08:00

Championship game ng ginebra ata to at alaska..(Habang busy sila Christian, Lester, Joan, Rachel at si Tito Charlie kakatalon sa harapan ng TV.. kami eh nag moment sa duyan nila Christian ) That's the night we confirmed our relationship but decided the date will be the 28th of January because that's the first time i say 'i love you'.

Our first Christmas together. We're still friends here.

"Pangets" - On September we'll be celebrating our 10th year anniversary as best buds. I used to confide everything to him.. as in everything. I can still remember how we talked until we fell asleep.. He used to be a 'kuya' to me and a lover pala sa totoong buhay. --kaya ayaw magpatawag na kuya dahil may malaking HD!!! I missed those times na pasimple kaming maghahawak ng kamay sa ilalim ng lamesa habang nag-iinuman sila.. hahaha. Which in fact nabuking ng isang friend ko kasi nakita pala nya.. haha. =)

Panget -- for me is a very sweet guy.. kahit kanino sweet. Kaya minsan namimisinterpret ng mga tao. There was a time na kahit di nya girlfriend.. nafeel ng babae na girlfriend sya ni panget. Result?! A semi-malditang best bud. I used to reply to 'their' text messages (with the permission of Panget. Lahat yun before ko isend may approval nya..haha) pakners in crime eh.. pero try to ask him if it's true.. he'll just say "WALA AKONG ALAM DUN" -- yeah yeah.. i know you too well.

Most memorable day in our relationship?!

The moment we danced to the tune of Can't We Try.. friendly dance na nauwi sa aminan ng nararamdaman.

The first time he kissed me after we broke up.. (October 29, 2006-November 1, 2006 --the three-day love affair because i have a boyfriend who found out i cheated on him to try if Panget and I can take it to the next level-- haha.. ang weird ng feeling-- having your best bud as your boyfriend.. bigla na lang mang aakbay ng walang paalam?)

Why is it memorable?! As i have mentioned dati pa.. that was the time that almost 100+ persons texted me asking for forgiveness in behalf of panget dahil sa kasalanang hanggang ngayon di nila alam kung ano..

Ano nga ba yun?! THE FIRST KISS. At dahil hindi naman ako sanay sa mga pakiss kiss na yan.. After we broke up.. ayaw nyang magpakita sakin dahil 'he's hurting daw' may paiyak iyak effect pa sya that time. May usapan kami sa sementeryo magkita dahil Nov. 1 (pinaglinis ko pa nga sya ng lapida ng lola at lolo ko and pinakilalang bf ko sa mga pinsan ko..--after 2 hours?! nakipagbreak ako..bad girl!!!) He doesn't want to see me or even talk to me but i insist. Nagmeet kami sa office namin. After we talked about everything -- he asked for a kiss kasi kinikiliti ko sya that time.. sa paa, sa siko, sa palad..haha.. i didn't know na hindi pala pwede sa mga lalaki yun.. hahahaha.. i said 'yes' -- then we kissed..

Nasampal ko sya after nun and here's my line-- "Ang sama mo!!! T.A. (taking advantage) ka. bakit may dila?! pumayag na nga ako tas ganyan pa!!!" -- hahahaha.. the innocent me. Tinaboy ko na sya.. at hindi sinagot ang mga text nya.. That night?! Panget, Joan, Christian, and Monty met up at Cafe Aldea and Panget was talking to them telling "Dapat kasi di ko ginawa yun.. pero di naman talaga ganun ginawa ko.." and started texting for help...hahaha.. Sumabog ang inbox ko. -- and now?! we were just laughing when we reminisce that time -- kasi wala naman pala talagang dila.. binasa lang nya ang labi nya.. hahahaha. --ang dumi ng isip.

We became close even without seeing each other for three years. That is why we call our friendship, a strong one. Even it was an ON-OFF relationship.. (longest without communication was 2 weeks) Famous line: "Wag muna tayong magtext nagseselos na sayo bf ko"- GRACE "Sige ganyan naman lagi eh.. aantayin ko text mo ha" - LUCKY after ilang days lang.. "HI PANGET..musta?! sorry ah" -GRACE "Okay lang yun mahal naman kita eh." - LUCKY 2000-2006 texting days

Until now we used to text each other.. yeah.. laging may nagtetext sakin "Hi nget". Di pa din nakakalimot. lol. Ngayon ko nakikita yung sinasabi nyang difference kay Panget at kay Lucky. But i am happy na kahit may pagkakaiba..

"Hi, this is panget. Thanks for remembering me khit we're married na. I'm your husband but still, we have this part in our lives na we'll be reminiscing our "panget" days. lol
Panget will always be there for you, as your buddy, your bestfriend and your hubby. forever and ever, babe."

----never namang mawawala ang friendship na yun. ♥

kahit paulit ulit na ang kwento.. ang sarap balik-balikan. It's nice to know that the at the end.. it will be the love and friendship that made your relationship surpass everything. Love my panget so much.. Thanks for the real friendship that you gave me. I appreciate it a lot.

When we are not yet married we had a concrete plan not to have a baby during our 1st year as husband and wife. But now?! We are praying and hoping that we'll have him/her or them soon.. 'THEM' haha.. I am dreaming again. Lucky's been waiting for it for so long that is why we are really praying hard. YEah.. sobrang aga pa for that. But who knows when he/she will come. Can't wait for next year.

Too good to be true

2010-04-20T09:08:00.011+08:00

My first real post after our wedding. I still can't believe that i am married now. I still find myself waking up in the middle of the night just because i am on a different room. lol. silly me. =) Being a wife is not easy for me most especially doing the chores. But because of his help and motivation from my parents i am now happy to say that i am now a certified wifey. But not to the extent of washing our clothes. Actually, i've tried it on our first week but after that?! nope! I am taking our clothes to my parents house. You'll see me every tuesday with a basket. lol.

It's hard at first. Totally changing my way of life. From being someone who was pampered by everyone.. to a wifey whose responsibility is to make her hubby feels good, happy and loved. (no effort at all.. it comes out naturally-- magbuhat ng sariling chair!)

Being a wife while working is not that bad. Considering that i am in control of my time at work. But sometimes the stubborn me was always on the go.. i can't help but to stay at bed and sleep while he was cleaning the house*.

*Once a week i guess. lol.

The best part?! I can now wake up early. To cook (only). lol..

I am pretty sure that we will be encountering a lot of new things. But isn't that great that i will be sharing them all with him?! The only person who will accept me even while sleeping i am occupying 3/4 of the bed.. Changing the channel of the television to my favorite show while he was watching the last quarter of the NBA.. Washing the dishes in the morning so he won't wake me up that early.. (He always wakes up at 6 in the morning-- which in fact i can't do..).

I love the life i have now.. no fights.. no arguments (so far). lol. (What?! --i am sure it makes life more exciting.. arguing then after, you will have the sweetest moment while laughing because of that. Just so lucky.. Just so happy. I am now married to the man who i met 10 years ago. Love et.

1 month to go

2010-02-09T19:17:00.011+08:00

Yeah. 1 month na lang and instead of resting.. eto at may problem naman. Buti na lang ang daming tao na tumutulong samin. From Manila to Tanay. Sinong bride ang matutuwa na halos two years inayos ang kanyang wedding tapos one month na lang.. tsaka pa mababago?! Hmm. Wala siguro. Kahit ako di natutuwa eh. Buti na lang.. kahit malungkot i have a lot of people around me. Si dad na sobrang sinuportahan ako sa lahat. Si mom na nakikiiyak sakin..haha.. si lucky na taga tapik ng balikat ko.. and ang mga kaibigan ko na nag uplift sakin at nagsasabing.. ayos lang yan.. "Maganda ka pa din sa kasal mo.."

Got problem with the person na kinuhanan namin ng package. (yung problem?! enough para malipat kami dito sa tanay -- hard earned money yun.. kaya kahit maliit na amount.. sobrang makakaapekto saming dalawa.. =( ) My family decided to have the wedding here.. Same theme, same guests, same suppliers at may rsvp pa din.. bawal ang gate crashers. lol. ang nabago?! ang idea na Manila yun.. Tanay to..

Tawag pa ng lolo ko sa states "Ninakaw na pangarap"

I am so happy that even we won't have our wedding in Manila there are still a lot of people who are willing to lend their hands to help us go through this toughest time of our preps..
Sir John Ong - the best na adviser at friend.. sobrang sya ang tumutulong samin na makaovercome sa nangyari na to.. hehe..
Ms. Christine Ong - ang aming sobrang supportive na OTD coordinator
My DAD na sobrang sya ang nag iisip kung paano ang gagawin sa church - and having the best idea ever..
My MOM na halos araw araw nag uupdate din ng mga gagawin para sa kasal
As much as we wanted not to have them spend for us.. ayaw papiit ng mommy ko.. na parang gustong pakyawin ang sasagutin.. lol. -- pero syempre hindi kami pumayag na madami.. --kami pa din ni lucky ang gagastos para sa wedding namin.. Glad to have parents like them.. parang debut ko lang..

And of course my h2b.. kahit pa lagi akong ngarag at sya ang lagi kong nasisimganutan.. sobrang suporta pa din ang nakukuha ko sa kanya at sa kanyang family.. sila Mommy Eva and family..

i will not think of it until the wedding day.. Yeah.. i know that i'll be a beautiful bride.. o may angal?! hihi..

Dear John

2010-02-06T23:20:00.006+08:00

I missed crying in the movie house. The story's great. Touching. Love et.

"I finally understood what true love meant...love meant that you care for another person's happiness more than your own, no matter how painful the choices you face might be."

"And when her lips met mine, I knew that I could live to be a hundred and visit every country in the world, but nothing would ever compare to that single moment when I first kissed the girl of my dreams and knew that my love would last forever."

"I love you, not just for now, but for always, and I dream of the day that you’ll take me in your arms again."

"Even now, I'm still not sure how it happened. One instant we were talking, and in the next she leaned toward me. For a second, I wondered whether kissing her would break the spell we both were under, but it was too late to stop. And when her lips met mine, I knew that I could live to be a hundred and visit every country in the world, but nothing would ever compare to that single moment when I first kissed the girl of my dreams and knew that my love would last forever. "

Pre nup pictorial at Acuatico Beach Resort

WE had so much fun. Left Manila at around 1pm.. worried that we won't make it in time.. Just so glad we DID.. (Acuatico Beach Resort 1.28.10 --our 3rd anniversary)

Alvin and the chipmunks 2

2010-01-09T21:28:00.009+08:00

They are sooooo adorable. From start to end 'they' will make you laugh. The story became more exciting. Para kaming bumalik ni Lucky sa pagkabata. The kids around us was clapping their hands.. haha.. parang live. Sobrang nag enjoy kami sa kanta ng Chipettes na 'All the Single Ladies'. Haha.

This movie's so good that your kids will enjoy watching while learning a lot of lessons.

Lessons Learned: Keep your word. Obey the elders. =) Family First. Whew. I remember on how theodore feels so left out because of alvin and simon.. aw.. he's so cute. Especially when he wrote a letter stating "i ran away from home.. don't look for me at the zoo i am not there.." haha.

77 days to go

2010-01-07T22:32:00.008+08:00

Parang kelan lang sabi pa samin ng family and friends namin na masyado pang maaga para magprepare.. That was 2 yrs. ago. Ngayon?! parang di ko na alam kung pano papatigilin ang oras. lol. Although halos lahat naman eh ayos na at babayaran na lang ang mga suppliers..masyado pa ding hectic ang sked dahil halos lahat ako ang nagbibigay ng instructions sa mga tao. i just wanted to have it personal as possible..

I am hoping that this month everything will go smoothly. Kasi naman syempre may time kami na magrelax lalo na at sabay ang pre nup namin sa aming 3rd anniversary so we have time to relax and just enjoy that day.

Lucky's been very supportive sa preps namin.. lalo na sa pagtawag tawag sa mga suppliers. Can't do this alone. Lalo na at yun yung weakness ko.. PHONE!

And yeah.. and dami nga pala nilang tumutulong there's Yana for graphics, Joan for opinion and updates. My mom for moral support hehe. Thanks muchos. Can't do it without you guys.

MORE UPDATES LATER! GOT TO GO. MAY DATE PA KAMI. =)

Eyes on Me

2010-01-07T21:53:00.003+08:00

Whenever sang my songs
On the stage, on my own
Whenever said my words
Wishing they would be heard
I saw you smiling at me
Was it real or just my fantasy
You'd always be there in the corner
Of this tiny little bar
My last night here for you
Same old songs, just once more
My last night here with you?
Maybe yes, maybe no
I kind of liked it your way
How you shyly placed your eyes on me
Oh, did you ever know?
That I had mine on you

Darling, so there you are
With that look on your face
As if you're never hurt
As if you're never down
Shall I be the one for you
Who pinches you softly but sure
If frown is shown then
I will know that you are no dreamer

So let me come to you
Close as I wanted to be
Close enough for me
To feel your heart beating fast
And stay there as I whisper
How I loved your peaceful eyes on me
Did you ever know
That I had mine on you

Darling, so share with me
Your love if you have enough
You're tears if you're holding back
Or pain if that's what it is
How can I let you know
I'm more than the dress
and the voice
Just reach me out then
You will know that you're not dreaming x2

Sister Act

2009-12-19T01:35:00.012+08:00

My mom was telling me her encounter with a nun in our office. I was just listening to her and gave her comments about that sister. (Masungit kasi yung madre)

I am just laughing until Lucky got mad at me when i told him to meet that sister in person to give her the documents she needed. (Sya kasi ang nasigawan. haha)

I thought that i will be spared of her cruelty.. not until this morning.

I used to be the collector of my dad's business most especially when the money is huge. So i went there confident that everything's gonna be alright.. that's what i thought.

SHE's soooooooo BAD. The first time i asked myself -- "Meron ba talagang madre na ganito?!" But there she was talking and talking and talking.. pati ang mga bagay na labas sya eh pinakialamanan parin nya. I am not talking. I let lucky do it. Kasi baka mamaya kung anong masabi ko.. Walang tama sa kanya kundi ang sarili lang nya.

It's because of one simple reason. My mom signed a paper wherein my uncle Pete is the signatory.. After 3 days.. still the same issue.. And added a lot more issues after that.

When i went out of their house.. i am really mad. Why?! She did not give me the money. Why?! "Malay ko ba kung ikaw talaga ang anak ng may ari?!-- yes. even with my ID na katulad ng name na nasa resibo dahil sakin nakapangalan ang business ni dad. And she wanted a notarized AUTHORIZATION LETTER -- napakaarte. haler. Magpagawa kang mag isa. It's been 3 yrs. na ginagawa ko ang collection na ganun.. kaw lang ang nanghingi.

"Nararamdaman kita kanina..sasabog ka na." --that was lucky talking.. Haha. True.. konting konti na lang.. ni hindi ko nga ginalaw yung juice na ibinigay sa amin nung hipag nung madre na yun.. (na nagsabing masungit daw talaga yun)

Scene AFTER: GRACEY crying. hahaha.. yeah. cry baby eh. Kahit naman ako matapang ng konti. Iyakin pa din ako. Kasi foul ang mga sinabi nya. But when i went home parang saktong sakto.. may visitor si dad na sister din.. Si Sister Philomena..

She's asking me what if our wedding won't happen and i have a calling to be a sister.. hahaha.. I told her i can serve with all my heart kahit na may asawa.

SHE told me. When someone tell you bad things.. BE happy. Thank the Lord.. kasi buhay ka pa kahit may nagsalita sayo ng masama.. pagpapakumbaba.. (yeah..i am practicing really hard on that. lol) -- narinig nya kasing nagsusumbong ako kay mommy. hehe.

 Sana matouch ni Lord yung life ng sister na yun.  Baka may kulang sa buhay nya kaya sya ganun.. Masaya kaya sya?!  I can't believe na may mga ganong klase pala ng tao?! yung tipong Lahat sila ang tama.. at lahat ng kausap nila mali. Kahit anong sabihin..walang paki sa taong kausap nila kahit nakakasakit na sya. After that?!.. Final decision.. Dad ko ang makikipag usap sa kanya.  Hmm. I bet.  She can't talk the way she was talking for the past 3 days.. =)

Life has never been this good

2009-12-01T20:31:00.006+08:00

It's been a month na pala since i had my last entry. Song pa na galing kay lucky ang inilagay ko. Hmm. A month full of activities.. emotions.. pressures..

Teka lang busy pa.. intro muna.haha. Later uli!

=( lang maisip. dahil ayaw mag isip.. hehe.

Standing right next to me

2009-11-09T11:35:00.003+08:00

Love is like the wind,
Sometimes it blows your way,
And until now
It missed me somehow.

But when I turned around
I saw you standing there.
The sound of your voice -
I had no choice.

I used to have a wish
One day I'd feel like this.
Now I know love exists
Cause it's standing right next to me.

Beneath the moon tonight
I see it in your eyes -
No more false starts,
No more broken hearts.

I used to have a wish
One day I'd feel like this.
Now I know love exists
Cause it's standing right next to me.

Even in the dark,
Even when you're gone
I feel you in my heart.

I used to have a wish
One day I'd feel like this.
Now I know love exists
Cause it's standing right next to me

Standing right next to me.

Movies to watch out for

2009-10-29T12:34:00.013+08:00

Last night we celebrated our 33rd monthsary and we had our date at Sta. Lucia. "Jennifer's Body" yeah..that's the movie for the night. I want to sleep.. Lucky was sleeping too.. lol. The movie was not that good. After the movie Lucky told me that it was all about 'showing' Megan's body.. haha. I knew it-- we should have watched Astroboy instead of that..lol.

Serena Van der Woodsen..

I love her style. Really loving it. Actually i am planning to have the gown (long white) to be my dress for our second reception..but not the neckline..lol. Stylish. Classy. Simple. That's her.
But don't expect me to wear those clothes here in Tanay. haha. Ayokong magmukhang ewan sa harap ng mga tao at pagtinginan ng mga lalaki dahil nag iisa akong nakaganyan dito.. Sa Manila pwedeng pwede.. but not here.. haha. Spare me. I've tried to change my attire dati dito pero nasa gate palang ako.. pinapaakyat ulit ako ni lucky..haha..Take note: Sleeveless lang na medyo manipis ang suot ko. Akyat. haha. A simple top and pants will always do.
SAbi nga nya.. "You don't have to show them na ganyan ang damit mo..wag dito."
See me with this..?! Yep. Location: Manila and Abroad. lol.

I am really not a celebrity admirer person but this time when watching them.. their style was really something.. And i am just so glad to know.. just now. hahaha.. yeah that LATE! that Serena and Dan (Gossip Girl) who in person was Blake and Penn is together-- for real. lol. See?! really not into celebrities.. haha.

2009-10-26T09:41:00.006+08:00

The movie was so quiet.. that you'll hear the voice over and over again.. Too bad for me. haha. I am there covering my eyes.. but i can still hear the voices. So lucky and I decided to go home.. Yey. finally. lol.

A night of fun and food trips.. so short yet so good...

I just got a new puppy. Her name is tattoo.. Lucky surprised me this time.. As in..i have no idea that a puppy will arrive here at my office. Sooo loving them both. I still have to talk to the previous owner for her vitamins and food..

She's soooo cutie. Can't wait to sleep with her later.

. FYI. All our dogs are named after a telecom or cellphone product..lol. WE have SMART, GLOBE (+), RED, TOUCHY (stealed), NOKIA (stealed), now we have TATTOO.

finally

2009-10-13T21:05:00.017+08:00

i will soon be a real office girl...lol.

I am not really that strong in facing people but i need to learn.. That's what my friends and my sister always tells me. That's my weakest point.. talking to people. (those that i am not close with). I am really the type of.. give me truck loads of things to do.. just don't let me answer the phone or talk to other people for informations.. lol.

That is why.. next year if i will pursue applying for a job.. i think i need to start dealing with this fear.

Nyi.. starting to refresh everything..as in everything..

FYI. since i graduated. The only office that i've worked from 8-5pm was my dad's. And my mom was always bugging me to go out and explore the world.. that is to be employed! hihi..

At the age of 26 next year.. i know that it's not that late to have my own feet back on track.. I love pressures.. and i think i am really getting the hardest now.. lol.

And now?! as i started out our business venture..(my sister and I) the EVENT MATTERS and studying Catering Services operation.. i am beginning to learn dealing with people all by myself.. but sometimes.. i let lucky face them.. haha. cool. (i am soo good at planning..writing it down..organizing it.. but i am not the one who talks to people..ahaha..how do i do it?! i am surrounded with great friends who can call or talk for me.. haha..

but as i was saying..i need to learn on dealing with them all alone.. lol. I am now.. it's hard.. but at the end of the day.. i am so proud of myself and say.."KAYA KO PALA!" lol.

**Oh yeah.. Lucky and I decided that we'll be working after the wedding while we have our business here in the Phils...Work was supposed to be this year but because of the preps and some business matters.. we decided to go there next year.. yep.. we are going abroad for work.. where else?! -- we'll start our married life on our own.. just so excited but worried because of the work..hahaha.**

A million tomorrows

2009-10-01T02:27:00.012+08:00

that's what the card Lucky gave me says..

" A million tomorrows wouldn't hold enough time for me to tell you i love you."

It was just an ordinary day when i entered our store.. Something made me smile..

"Eversince i met you, i promised myself that if chance would come for us, there will be no ending.. i will love you for eternity.

You've thought me so many things. You've shown me that love could change a person. you've proven that my life could be much much better.

Without you, i am probably lost.. without you i am empty..

You've given me love enough for me to love you faithfully in return."

REMINISCING..

Lucky and i were friends since 1999 and his feelings was revealed on year 2000.. He was my kuya back then. But he doesn't want me to call him that way.
Oh yeah, "eversince i met you..." Why?! because everytime there will be a chance for us to meet.. We are always committed..to other people. That is why our feelings was really not that open to the public..even our friendship. Some of her gf's were jealous of me.. While ALL of my past was sooo mad on him. Can't blame them. Whenever you will see us together.. who will say that there is nothing going on between us.
Now that it's less than 6 mos. to our married life. We always talked about how our friendship will play a huge part in this relationship. Yeah.. without it..we are nothing.

That's the best part of our lives.. being friends for 9 years really mold us to be strong.. yep. We need the friendship to stay together. We've seen everything..the best and worst side of one another. He'll always tell me.. "You're the first one to see this..experience this with..etc etc.."

I really don't care if i am the first or maybe the last one.. i've heard his stories (everything- iam 100% sure).. and are still fresh on my mind.. What is important is that.. I knew him. And i accepted him for what he was the day i met him.. and what he can give me.

I admit.. he's not my ideal man.. i mean.. i never really want him to be my husband when i was in high school.. but when i finally got to know him.. i saw that aside from that CUTE dimples and pair of eyes he got.. his heart was telling me that even it's not visible in my eyes.. he can really make me feel that he can be someone who can love me until the end.

ONDOY -Tanay, Rizal

2009-09-30T19:40:00.010+08:00

Tanayans are aware that a typhoon will hit Metro Manila-- Signal no.1. It's on the news. So everyone here was expecting to experience the same. What we did not know.. the least thing that we expect to happen.. was on it's way to us that day between 9am-12 nn.

Then the worst thing happens..

I just opened my computer in my office and checked out my files.. The electricity went down 3 times.. and remained down on the 3rd. I stayed beside my glass door to see what is happening outside.. It's raining.. I was texting my friends to come over to my office to have lunch with me.. (still not aware of what to happen).

Then suddenly.. i saw the water came.. entering my office door.. rising.. I was in shock. My dad was beside me that time. He just arrived. Blocking our office with his SUV to lessen the pressure of the water. Still rising.. from the floor.. to my ankle..

I was starting to pack my things in the office. The moment i saw the water i was really shouting..calling my mom to help me. I have to pack everything by myself.. The computer.. the files- i was talking of 6 traveling bags of files here.. books.. magazines..everything.. the water level was on my knee that time. 

When the water reached my legs.. I was in shock.. again.. My door give up.. The glass door was about to break (thank God the water just moved the braces and the glass did not break at all).. I don't know how i managed to hold them until my dad came.. But i am sure of one thing.. My body hurts after that scene. It was only me and my dad at that time. So that means.. i am the only one that can help him carry everything.. including the casket in our office.. yeah.. that strong.. with the help of what you call..adrenalin.

I packed everything..put it on my table (which at that time is ready to float) and wait for some help.. Lucky was still saving some items on our shop- motorcycle parts.. I waited for him.. He put the bags upstairs..

Hours passed by that we are fighting against the water..it's not easy.. watching how the water destroy a lot of things and interrupting the signal of our communications.. People crossing the water.. going straight to the church and a safe place for some shelter.. Still the water reached my dad's waist.

This is it.. The scene was really stuck in to this. I am worried that it might go higher than what i am seeing since my uncle just texted me that in Pililla.. the water reached their chest.. and worst some part was even above the head.. that is why they can't go out the church where they are stranded.

But by God's helping hand.. the water stayed that way..slowly moving down..and down.. until all that is left was knee level. and a lot of MUD.

After hours of a very shocking moment.. We went to the Market to check Lucky's house (which to our dismay the tv, refrigerator, our motorcyle..files.. and things on the floor was facing down..all soaked in MUD).

We've been hearing that a building collapse in the Plaza.. and when we saw it.. Oh my. This is really happening. And again..the worst part is soon to be seen.. Business section on our way to the market was gone.. I mean..some..but they are all affected. Flooded.. Destroyed.. Gone..

Banks go offline..

Soldiers are everywhere..

Rescue teams are ready..

The first time i saw Tanay under a state of calamity..

And as you go around the town..to the highway.. Many of our fellow Tanayans (in BAtac) lost their things..their home..their LOVED ONES.

Typhoon Ondoy will really leave a mark here in Tanay. And will remain a history on how it will change our lives seeing how devastated Tanay had been most especially our nearby town here in Rizal. (Marikina, Cainta, Pasig, Taytay etc) Which i heard was far more devastated than what we've seen here in our town.

Bridal Shower -- Ecel, Analyn and Gracey

2009-09-02T11:00:00.005+08:00

The BRIDES.

The whole gang.

Soo happy.

"Madami akong dalang damit para walang pwedeng magdahilan na wala silang dala." -- that was me texting Kyrstal. Isang travelling bag kasi ang dala ko. May laman pa syang tripod and camera for our pictorial. GO pa din kahit mabigat.. Nagkasundo kami sa bagay na yun..dahil sya? para ding naglayas ang dala na bag. lol.

I left Tanay at around 10 am. Pero dahil ang tagal mapuno ng fx dito samin.. inabot ako ng 11 am. I went straight to Intramuros to check on our wedding reception..Nagandahan ako so siguro okay na din sya. lol.

Nameet ko na ang tropa ng 2:30 in Makati. First choice of hotel --negative. Fully booked sila so lipat kami ng iba. And there goes. After checking in.. Para kaming may mga ginawang kasalanan kasi isa isa kaming pumasok. haha. Para daw di makita ng receptionist na madami kami. lol. Pagdating sa room nakita ni Geofred na good for 6 persons ang room..and that time 6 palang talaga kami. lol.

And the preps begins..

Floor arrangement was needed para maluwag ang kilos namin for the whole night. And picture taking went well for that. And yes, di sya kumpleto kung wala si Manong na nagdeliver ng pancit..nagcrave tuloy ang mga nasa room. lol. Nakumpleto na kami at around 9 pm.

Pressured. Yep. No one can say "NO" --starting with the outfit, down to the accessories and most of all....THE activities. lol.

It's been what?! almost 8 years ba since the time na ganito yung feeling. And i can't help but to look at them that time. Eto kasi yung mga tao na kasama ko sa mga camping during our Girl Scout years, sila yung pinapanood ko na magformation nung COCC sila..then kalaro sa mga ball games during high school and most especially sila yung mga tao na nakaaway, nakainisan, nakaiyakan, pero at the end yung mga hindi nang iwan. --hmm..lam ko na ang comment sa FB nito..madrama. lol.

Hayaan nyo na muna ako..kasi ikakasal na eh..

Sobrang saya ng ginawa namin for the night. Sabi ko nga kanina sa FB, for now?! eto ang isang reason kung bakit ako naexcite lalo sa kasal. haha..

That night was one of those few nights na nakasama ko sila--- na hindi ko makakalimutan. And for the girls..you know why.

TO BE CONTINUE.

Nawindang naman ako kasi while chatting with her.,hindi ko kaagad napansin na yun ang background nya. and yeah..kakaopen ko lang din ng resto city ko. Hihi. Parehas pa pala kami ng ginagawa ng ate ko. Hihi. La lang. Nakakatuwa lang. Parehas ng hobby sa gabi.

(Ulap na Bilog--yan ang tinawag namin sa kanya since napaka unusual ng korte nya compared sa mga ulap na kasama nya.) hehe

The advantage of riding a motorcyle: "Mas nakikita mo ang paligid mo.." hehe. Eto ang mga sample pics na nakukunan ko habang nakasakay sa motor. Yep. so natural

Daang Antipolo

2009-08-19T18:53:00.011+08:00

Antipolo (zigzag) ang isa sa pinakagamit na daan dito sa Rizal. At hindi na ko magtataka kung bakit after a month lang ay sira na din ang mga ginawa nilang kalsada na halos umabot din ng ilang buwan..

(left photo) ginawa yan last april-may-june ata..di lang ako sigurado sa mga buwan. Medyo nakakalungkot lang kung bakit lagi na lang sira ang mga kalsada dito.

(right photo) along teresa road. Marble Company.

Tipid sa pamasahe. Nakakaamaze naman ang mga taong to. Bigla na lang sasampa sa likod ng truck para makisakay hanggang sa kanilang destinasyon. At hindi pa nakuntento sa kanilang pagsakay. Para silang mga normal na bata na susubukan ang maisipan hindi alitana ang panganib na pwedeng mangyari sa kanila habang tuwang tuwang nagbabalanse.

Ilan lamang yan sa mga napapansin ko pag nakamotor kami ni lucky. And i am happy na aware pa din pala ako sa mga nangyayari sa paligid ko. lol. And the last picture is the reason why gustong gusto kong dumadaan dito. soo loving it..

Lucky and Gracey's night out

2009-08-19T15:53:00.008+08:00

Lucky's been bugging me for a whole night of food
trip and movie
marathon..pero dahil hindi naman talaga ako pwede for an
overnight na sya lang
ang kasama..i promised to stay kahit gang 12mn to
watch movie with while having a food trip.

We used to have lots of food trip lalo na ng nagkaron ng savemore. lol. And we just bought a few of our faves kasi baka masobrahan naman eh bawal pa sakin ang mga food na madami since kagagaling ko lang sa sakit.

I hate frying. Pero yan ang binigay na work sakin ni Lucky that night. Hello?! Yan ang hindi ko talaga kayang gawin sa buhay ko. Ang magprito. lol. Pero wala akong nagawa. I have to. But in the middle of it all.. I was shouting., "By, nasusunog na ang bacon at hotdog." lol. Tumitilamsik kasi ang mantika kaya nagpapanic ako. (in fairness naluto kong mabuti ang hotdog.--kasi di naman sya nakakasakit pag tumitilamsik..lol.) You see, paglutuin na ko ng kahit ano wag mo lang ang pagpituhin..magkakasundo tayo. hehe.

After that. We wathced 'Dance Flick'. Which later on was changed to 'Finding Nemo' --the child in me. lol.

We had a blast. Food trip together was really something na hindi na mawawala saming dalawa. oops. yung third pic. SAME old lucky. Laging nakakatapon ng iced tea. Parang kelan lang. lol.

Open Letter

2009-08-13T13:20:00.008+08:00

This is my first time na magsulat ng isang letter sa blog ko addressed to a particular friend.. Oh kahit na TO YOU ang nakalagay sa letter mo sa blog mo..kilala ko kung sino ang tinutukoy mo. FRUZ's BLOG.

TO YOU.

I am not sure of how to stop asking and talking lalo na pag alam kong may naaagrabyadong tao sa paligid ko. Lucky's trying to pull me hard to stay away from all the issue dahil alam nya ang kapasidad ko na magtanong at mamprangka ng tao lalo na pag alam kong di naman maganda ang naririnig ko at walang katotohanan. Last question ko yung narinig mo last time. I told YOU..don't let me start. Madami akong pwedeng itanong. lol.

YOU. I really don't know ang buong story ng kaguluhang ito pero eto ako at nagtatanong sa mga taong may naririnig ako. Kasi ayoko nung idea na may nakakawawa eh. Kahit pa sabihing.."SHUT YOUR MOUTH--PWEDE?!" Sige try to stop me. Kasi i won't. Pero dahil dalawa na kayong nagrequest.. sige hindi na ko makikisawsaw..if yan ang iniisip nila ngayon.

I am your friend. Pinsan pa nga ata kita eh. Tas Ex ka pa ng best friend ng fiance ko.. Kaya malapit tayo sa isa't isa di ba? hahahaha.. Sige magsalita ka pa YOU.

Ganito lang naman kasimple yun. I appreciate that they were sharing things with me na ang ibig sabihin eh pinagkakatiwalaan nila ako. But once i asked the person involve..it doesn't mean na sinira ko na yung trust na yun. I am aware of the things na pwede kong sabihin at itanong sa mga tao. Alam ko kung saan ako lulugar. Kung pakikialam man yun sa side ng tinatanong ko..Pasensya na. Yung mga bagay lang na medyo foul sa iba ang tinatanong ko dahil ayoko na magstay silang masama sa paningin ko that's why i CLARIFY things personally. La akong mapapala kung lahat ay sasabihin ko kaya yung mga bagay na alam kong dapat sa akin lang..sa akin lang..

YOU. Sige na. I will let you fight the battle alone. lol. As if may laban. haha. Pero bear in mind na hindi lahat ng nakikita at naririnig mo ay tama. --galing yan sa pinsan ko. YOur Love. lol. Be wise to use your words. Baka dahil din dun kaya sila ganyan. Wag masyadong matapang. Minsan you need to listen to your advisers...minsan sila nakakaalam ng tama.. lol. Sabi nila tumahimik na lang at magsawalang kibo.. honestly..ayoko ng ganun. Dahil yun ang klase ng mentality na umiiwas lang sa pwedeng kalagyan nya sa huli..

Lam mo..i still stick to my suggestion. Mag usap kayo. Yun lang naman ang pwedeng magawa na pwedeng makatapos ng usaping ito. Believe me. Mas mahirap tapusin ang isang bagay na mawawalang parang hangin at babalik na parang bagyo. lol. San ko ba kinukuha mga sinasabi ko? Hay. Ayun. I am not good with letters kaya pasensya ka na kung pang aasar pa din ata to.

Bellaroca Resort -Marinduque

2009-08-10T18:55:00.008+08:00

I was in college when i visited Marinduque for our yearly Visita Iglesia with mom. I thought it will be the first and last visit..Not until last week. I bought a Metro Weddings Magazine and saw a resort that almost dropped me again to my knee.. Bellarocca Resorts --Marinduque.

Straight from their Homepage..you'll clealy see that Bella rocca will be one of the best reason why you will visit Marinduque. Aside from the fact that Marinduque was really one of the nicest town i've ever been to. Cool place..nice people and good food. (loving seafoods sooo much)

With it's Santorini inspired look..who can resist?!

Their Website: Bellarocca

Enjoy.

Food TRips

2009-08-08T23:15:00.004+08:00

Kainan?! Hindi namin yan uurungan. lol. Blogging soon.

DOTA

2009-08-05T18:15:00.008+08:00

Lucky was one of the best players here in Tanay. lol. That was 5 yrs. ago. But now?! he is starting with me again. I am not a good player but i am learning..the slowest i can be..lol. I don't want to be addicted on this like him.. We argue a lot because of this game. I can't understand why he stayed up to 2 am for this ..just because so and so and so reasons of him..hehe.

Still the best player in town..xxxdotcom
While the starter name was.. wifenixxxdotcom

But he's teaching me now. I personally love it.. kasi he was telling people here.. "Wala kayo dito kay Grace pag eto ang naglaro na." haha.. that sounds to be a threat to them but actually i am the 'BAIt' now for the opponents..pampalakas nila ako kasi ako ang laging napapatay. haha.. That is for NOW. Kasi nag aaral akong maglaro. I know now how to get even with a player na walang ibang alam gawin kundi patayin ako sa game na to.. Buti na lang marunong na ko gumamit ng mga skills.

Lucky was tapping me everytime i killed a hero or even more when i had the chance to have a double kill...haha..it's because of him. Laging nakacommand ang hero ko na bumuntot sa hero nya kaya ang result.. we are stronger.. sa kanya umaasa ang hero ko na mabuhay. hahaha. Nagsasalita sya sa tabi ko on what to do and i followed his command.

It was fun. And i really loved the game that i once hated. We've fought together..WIN or LOSE.. he will always be my best trainor ever!

Some of you may find this amuzing or even some may not agree. But this game was not as bad as you may think. For GF's out there..i do read some blogs and bulletins stating how much they hated this game.. Go with the flow. Don't try to stop them on this. Pampalipas oras lang nila to. After all..they deserve some time off di ba?! Pero ask them in a way na maiintindihan nila na.."WAG NAMAN HANGGANG 3 AM" --believe me habang inaaway nyo sila..lalo lang silang magmamatigas na maglaro hanggang madaling araw. lol. Give them a time limit in a nice way..

2009-08-05T17:59:00.004+08:00

I can still remember a text message from a friend stating "Today was a new day..Make the most out of it. Whatever happens yesterday is part of the past."

That time. Lucky and I had a problem which made us closer to each other. And a perfect timing for some inspiration and lots of support from our family and friends.

I was able to passed by this book which i may say now..Gives a lot of encouragement for me as a person of low self esteem to get on track with things that i am afraid to try.

It did helped me see a lot more than many of you can ever see when you look at me. Discovering things i should have done or not done in the past. Oh, it won't hurt telling myself that i've been a bit bitchy last time but now i am into a more positive side of myself. Better late than never to realize it.

This book it about everything about yourself. Things you are soon to discover. Inspirational. Yeah. Best Days starts every morning where in you can always start good..your choice. No it won't hurt.

2009-08-05T17:23:00.006+08:00

I bought it a month ago and things was kinda getting exciting. Although i am sure that almost 3/4 of it will be hard on my pocket. lol. Just sooo loving the places. And i am sure you'll love it too.

My love for travel started when i was in high school. My dad's family and mom's as well..loves to travel. Family by family. I can't remember my first road trip but the best that time was our Baguio-Vigan trip that almost dropped all of us..leaving enough money for gasoline and food. lol. I am pretty sure that no ATM yet that time. Shop till you drop drama.

My first out of town trip alone (no family member on board) was in Leyte--which in fact my first plane right too.. it was during my 2nd yr. in college--yeah that late! That is why i envied my brother and cousins who was able to experience it at their young age. lol. My dad knew about this just last year..5 years later. lol. He won't allow me that time that is why my mom and i split on this one. yeah. mother and daughter tandem.

Now?! I do travel at my own expense..leaving me enough money for some stuffs. lol. Yeah that was the sad part. When i was sooo young..my parents do pay for everything..but now?! yeah.. i need to save, for me to travel or shop. lol. Sabi ko nga.."SA tanda kong ito.. I still need to ask for their permission to allow me have my vacation kahit ako na ang gagastos..and if they said 'NO'..i have to go through a lot alternative reasons on how to still go on..without them knowing it..hahaha."

Yeah. i am a bit impulsive when it comes to this matter. Once i saw a place and boom. I need to be there ASAP. But it gets slower because i have to save a lot before it can happen. No loan for this. lol.

I am not sure on how many places i can visit.. or even how much time i can be there. But i am sure of one thing.

All of us have the privilege to have the best days of our lives. And only us can make it happen. Whether it is a travel by land-sea-air. It doesn't matter as long as you enjoy it in your own way.

Happy TRIP.

LUCKY

2009-08-04T09:35:00.004+08:00

Loving this song..Thanks Fruz for opening it to me..lol. Love ettt.

Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
under the open sky, oh my baby, i'm trying
Boy i hear you in my dreams
I feel you whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard

I'm lucky i'm in love with my bestfriend
Lucky to have been where i have been
Lucky to be coming home again

They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you i promise you, I will

I'm Lucky i'm in love with my bestfriend
Lucky to have been where i have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island were we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through trees
Move so pretty you're all i see
As the world keeps spinning round and round
You hold me right here right now

I'm Lucky i'm in love with my bestfriend
Lucky to have been where i have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday

9 Simple Things Women Want

2009-08-01T11:35:00.004+08:00

From Yahoo this morning.

Source: YourTango.com

Respect. Show us through your actions that you respect our opinions, careers, interests, friends, bodies and minds. You don't have to agree with all that we say or do, but try to honor our opinions as valuable contributions. Follow the golden rule and treat us as you would like to be treated: Be honest, fair, kind and considerate.

Romance. It's another night on the couch with takeout and TiVo? Just because we're staying in doesn't mean the evening can't be romantic. Light a few candles and see where the night leads. Treat us like your girlfriend, even after we become your wife. Date nights, physical affection in the ca, kissing like we were first started dating -- all of the things that made us fall in love with you don't have to stop just because now there are bills to pay, a house to be cleaned, and kids to be bathed. Bring home flowers for no reason. We're not talking of $100 bouquets of roses here.
Even the $10 bouquets from the supermarket are enough to make us smile.

Time. We understand relationships can't be all wine and roses; simply making the time to be with us and treating us like your top priority says "love" more than all the fancy gifts and lovely letters ever could. This includes helping around the house. The realities of a 21st-century relationship are that both partners probably work. If you happen to get home before we do, why not vacuum the living room or throw in a load of laundry? If you take the carbage out without being asked, chances are you'll be getting a big ole smooch when you come back.

Dinner. Of the homemade variety. You may not be good at cooking and you may not know how to boil water. But greeting us at the door after a long day with fish sticks (or whatever you can wrastle up) makes us swoon, because it shows that you've been thinking about us and our hectic day.

Communication. Women are vocal creatures. We know you love us, but it's nice to hear you say it, too. We can also be insecure. We wish we weren't, but the reality is that we often notice our wobbly thighs and forget about our gorgeous eyes. So let us know when you think were hot. Tell us were beautiful. It helps us feel good. Words of appreciation aren't half -bad either. Tell us you love the lasagna we made. Notice that we cleaned the bathtub. It doesn't have to be over the top, just let us know that you see the effort we put in, and your greatful.

Consistency. This doesn't mean be boring and predictable. It means that we know you will (usually--no one is perfect!) give us the love and support we need. Knowing that you're coming at this with the same desires and energy as we are goes a long way to making us feel secure.

Engagement. Of the mental kind, not the "I'm getting married in the morning" kind. You don't have to like everything we like (we might be a little concern if you do), but showing interest in our passions, be it career-related, a sport, or a hobby, goes a long way. Listen when we talk to you. We're not speaking just so we can hear our own voice; we want to connect with you and this is one valuable way we do this. This also means paying attention to the little things. Whether it's the name of your bestfriend's husband or the fact that you hate Nicolas Cage movies, it's the little things you remember about us that's so endearing.

Humor and Humility. These two tend to go hand in hand. This doesn't mean that you have to crack jokes or entertain us, but jus being able to laugh at yourself is enough. Guys who take themselves too seriously bring everyone down.

Challenge. Not the kind that makes a relationship constant work, but the good kind that surprises and motives us to do, be, or achieve what we desire. Studies show that partners who prod each other to meet goals-- in other words, don't support lazy or bad habits-- are ultimately happier than those who don't each other accountable.

Our Simple Joy

2009-07-29T11:14:00.015+08:00

Who can resist their charm. Soo loving them. they grow up so fast. Dati lang nag aalaga pa ko ng baby na papatulugin lang basta nakahiga..Ngayon? Sobrang gulo na nila.. Minsan lang ako mag alaga pero obviously..pag inaraw araw ko ang pag aalaga..mamamayat ako sa likot nitong dalawa na to. lol.
View their SITE on my LINK list. Dylan and Johan. DOUBLE THE FUN

Ayaw nilang tantanan si RED kahit sobrang hinihingal na ang tuta na to. lol. And this is the first time na nakita ko sila na ganung kagulo at sobrang lakas ng tawa. Kahit madapa dapa na sila okay lang basta mahabol lang yung tuta.

FACT: This two loves to wear helmet. Ang cutie cute nila talaga.

DYLAN AND JOHAN.
(Dennis and Joy's twins)

We visited them yesterday to show RED..our new puppy. They made him so tired. Oh yeah, they are 1 year and 4 mos. old. That's why they were running like no one will ever get tired.lol.

That's our daily routine..visit them at Pililla and play with them. Sad lang kasi they have to be at Cecilio St. more this days.. so we can't visit them that often. But yesterday?! yeah. they made me laugh again.

Wedding Event of the year

2009-07-29T10:46:00.011+08:00

Yeah. 2010 will be a huge event for the Apostol. 3 of the first born child will get married. Harold to Beng, Grace to Lucky and Kristine to Mikel.

March (Manila), April(Bataan), May(Tanay). Yeah every month we'll have a wedding. I am not sure how we can work on this fulltime. But we are starting to plan everything now. I am done with my preps so i will be helping out ate beng for their preps..

STORY on HOW WE SPILLED IT OUT...

HAROLD ON BENG- For 8+ years they've been together. No "on and offs" They go straight. All of us really don't have any idea that our Kuya will get married next year. Even though, i am really pushing them this year to do it.. Still they decided to go on 2010. I was one of the first to hear the news. Mama Agnes spilled it out to me telling me that Kuya Harold talked to them the night before that day..they are planning to get married. I told her.."finally" but i was surprised to know that they will have it just weeks after my wedding. Waah.

GRACE ON LUCKY- You know the whole story. Refreshing.... it was my dad who told lucky to have their "pamamanhikan" on Dec. 2008. Still a year early than what we are planning. But i am happy that finally i am really, really, really sure of walking down the aisle next year. lol.

KRISTINE ON MIKEL- Now this is the surprise one. I am waiting for their confirmation for me to blog their story. lol.

Dance Down the Aisle

2009-07-25T09:15:00.005+08:00

I am not sure how this goes..i was suppose to laugh at this but hey i cried. lol.

From You tube.

For the sake of the call

2009-07-22T09:06:00.006+08:00

I woke up to the wrong side of bed. Thinking of the people from yesterday.. I got mad..but a moment of the past changed my mood.

While thinking of them..i saw my ID in front of me.. The name tags from the conferences i've attended years and years ago..

I am an active member of Youth for Christ when i was in College. I even became the Sector Head of Tanay together with Nico, my partner that time. The fire to serve was uncontrollable.. My dad and my mom was worried not because of me being so active..but the point that i told them..I WANT TO BE A FULL TIMER.. I do mingle with different kinds of people. And i am happy with what i am doing. I do create a vision that someday..i will..serve a larger youth..a huge community.. I am so fulfilled at that time being a servant for Jesus.. A leader to the youth..

When i had my crossover to Singles for Christ..the fire was still there..happy?! yes bigtime. My dad and mom was there also..Serving. I was able to mingle with the SIGA.. Not literally. At that time it means Serving in God's Army..(if i remember it right.-mem gap.) They are my brothers and sisters..we even eat together..i do visit them..and blah blah blah. They are from Bangkusay..Tentado Tanay, Rizal. They are the beneficiaries of Gawad Kalinga.

The fire keeps on burning. The call to serve was still there.

But everything else fails for one single reason. Myself.

I have the choice to continue or stop. And i did STOP. I got my personal things/life.. over them. I know i can do it at the same time but i did not. And up to now i still can feel the urge to be with them but i am afraid to start over again.

I don't know if i can still be the same leader as i was before..just too afraid to try it.. too coward to face things.

Pre nup with Charles, Ron and

2009-07-06T22:25:00.009+08:00

had soo much fun..kahit pa tawa ako ng tawa pag si lucky na ang nageemote..kasi mas magaling pa sakin..hihi.

My sister's coming home

Confirmed! I talked to her last night. But i think her leave this time was the shortest. 5 days. I was thinking na of how we can have the DIY for 5 days. lol. Yeah. I've been bugging her lately for that..since she's one of the coolest artist i've ever known. (Just like my dad)--they're good..name it. She loves personalizing things..since she can create artworks of her own.

5 days but we'll have a great time. Being away with her was one of the things i am not used to. Why?! La na kasi akong kaaway dito.. hihi. I missed the way she tells me on how i messed up with things..or how good i am with what i am doing. Yeah. Just like my ate. Mas bata kasi ako sa kanya.
Looking forward to Sunday. Can't wait.
Need to rest early. Not Feeling good the whole day. But thinking of editing and GALA tonight..hihi.

Our new addiction. GRACEY, YANA, ABEGAIL..Yeah. The three of us. My sister focused on Yoville and Restaurant City, Abegail on farm town and Pet Society..me? I am into Restaurant City and Pet Society. But guess what?! We had all 4 accounts..Yep. We are into those games. Hehe. My sister was even complaining that she can't focus on her work because she's been playing those games..the whole day! lol.

I am still updating the status of my farm town and yoville..since i can't play all of them in a day. But my sister? Top 3 of my friends in Yoville..lol. My cousin?! got lot of stuffs and money in farm town.. I told them to give me some since i can't really focus on the games coz there are lot of things to do here. Pity pity gracey. La na kong magawa..lol. They're sending me gifts though..happy!

I found out that he's cheating!

Nope. Not my fiance.. but my cousin. Someone close to my heart hurting a very close friend of mine.. I hate you. That's what i can say. Lalaki ka ba?! Bakit sa liit ng Tanay nakuha mo pang gaguhin lahat ng tao na nakapaligid sayo?-- actually di ko pa sana confirmed eh.. but someone told me.. "Yes, it's true." Kumukulo dugo ko sayo ngayon. Yeah, same reason why i ignored you last night. I saw you with someone.. but i am not sure if that was the girl they were all telling me. Bwisit.

Gulat ka noh? Minsan lang akong magsalita sayo ng ganyan kasi favorite cousin kita. Try me.. hurt my friend again or i will make you feel that pain. ah..now i am talking..

I can't understand why does someone like you who experienced so much freedom will then claim that you are what?! "nasasakal?" kaya ka nambabae?! at naghanap ng iba? Wag mo kong lokohin.

Enough of this crap. Tell it to her straight. Matakot ka naman sa karma..See concerned pa din ako sayo?! You're still my favorite cousin.. but not now. Ayusin mo muna ang buhay mo coz we are all helping you out to have a good life but it seem that you don't appreciate it at all. Adja!

After years and years..nakumpleto kaming girls dyan.. I am not sure pero that picture was a year ago pa. Naalala ko lang kasi nagkita kami nila ivy, rona at onet.

Yeah. Nothing special that time except for the fact that we are hungry. lol. Hmm.. Soo happy to be with them kasi medyo matagal tagal na din kaming di nagkakasama sa pagkain. Hmm.. Rona(with the eyeglasses) was my bestriend in high school..and now..she's with kikay--her daughter. Sya ang kasabayan ko sa iyakan. Maemote kasi kaming parehas.."anak" that's what i call her.. The other kid was Rubelle's son --Renz.. parehas silang inaanak naming lahat na nanjan..hihi. Beside me was Ivy..(the Model) nagkaron kami ng tampuhan dahil lang sa pagpansin nya sa mga blog ko para lang mang asar. tse. pero naayos agad kami after kong magsalita ng magsalita..lol. She's one of my best girlfriend in high school.. And someone na sobrang nagpapatawa samin at mang asar ng diretsahan.. Ate Onet, in uniform (still single) haha. Isa sa palaban saming lahat. Hmm..

Matagal din ang tsikahan. Sobrang kulit nila.

Minsan naiisip ko sa bilis lumipas ng panahon.. may iba iba na kaming ginagawa..pero at the end..sila pa din ang pwede mong makakwentuhan..na makakarelate sayo kasi halos lahat alam nila sayo.. Hmm.. just so happy.
