Celebrating with My Kiddos

What better way to celebrate a very special day in my life, then being with my kids. I filed a VL just to be with them. Although Papa is not around, I feel that we need to continue celebrating every momentous moment in our life.

We went to SM North and have our dinner at Kenny Rogers. It was a real coincidence, because when the cashier gave us a number for our order, it was a NUMBER 37. Was it by fate or purely coincidental.

After the dinner, we watched the last full show of Transformer. It was really an action-packed movie which we really enjoy from the start to the end. My little Bumble Bee Icko was full of energy as he was recounting the movie to his Papa.

Simple joys like this does not cease to give me enough happiness and inspiration.

Birthday KO Ngayon

Yup, yup Birthday ko ngayon and I have every reason to be thankful and happy. 37 years old na ako, parang kailan lang pero ang state of mind ko naiwan na sa 25 hehehhe. It is not that I refuse to grow old, it is just that I want to be always young at heart.

Andaming answered prayers, salamat na marami kay Bro. Alam mo na yun Bro kung ano ang mga yun. Sana tuloy tuloy ang aking lucky and happy streak.

At 37, I can say that I am complete. My husband and two bundle of joy (Ishi and Icko) makes me complete. Parang sila ang centrum ng buhay ko heheheh.

My memory is already lagging at times (early signs of aging huh due to my 2 CS operation perhaps) but nonetheless kalabaw lang ang tumatanda and since Dyosa ako wala kong problema dyan hehehhe.

Katagal kong di nagblog ng ganito...yung tipo bang kahit na puro hehhehe lang ang isulat ko solve na. At dahil birthday ko ngayon, minarapat kong magsulat ng kahit ano lang...basta kahit na anong pumasok sa isip ko.

Bago ako umupo at tumeklado sa keyboard blanko ang isipin ko. Birthday ko ngayon, eh ano ngayon. Pero nung tumitipa na ako, isa lang ang nasa focus ko...Birthday ko ngayon at gusto ko happy ito.

Madaming babati, salamat sa inyo...sa magreregalo aba mas salamat sa iyo. Sa makaka alala at magbebelated masaya ako na naalala nyo ako.

Birthday KO ngayon, 37 na ako, 36 ako kahapon at 38 ako next year. Hay buhay parang life. Basta ang importante mahalaga. Makulit ba??? Hayaan mo na birthday ko naman ngayon.

Your greetings is good but I need.......................................CASH???? Wala kong sinabi na ganyan ha...Joke lang....Pero kung totohanin mo iPM ko sa inyo ang bank account ko hehehhehe.


Since birthday ko ngayon, feeling ko nanalo ako sa Famas at ito ang aking thank you spiel. Hayaan nyong maging national thank you day ko today.

Sa mga kaibigan ko, ilang beses na ba tayong nagkanda kabag kakatawa, mga kaututang dila kung tawagin....may kasabihan nga tayo baliw of the same feather flocks together. Let us continue to make good laughter and jokes together. Patuloy natin patunayan ang buhay may drama man, masaya pa din.

Sa aking mga kapatid, salamat sa lahat. Kahit na madalas ako ang finofrontline nyo pag may mga pang stand up comedy na okasyon. Salamat sa pagpapadama na bida din pala ako...sa pagpapalakpak ng malakas tuwing tinutulak nyo akong kumanta ng aking national anthem na Zombie at Ulan sa harap ng madaming tao para lang may representative ang pamilya natin hehehhe.

Sa aking magulang, salamat po...sana wag na kayon mag-away...may edad na po para sa lovers quarrel. Enjoy nyo na lang po ang life...Balato nyo na po sa birthday ko....kahit isang araw ceasefire muna....

Sa aking mga pamangkin, salamat for making me feel na cool tita ako....

Sa aking Ishi at Icko, salamat for making me Complete. For being an inspiration. Luv na luv ko kayo. Salamat sa mga halik at yakap na talaga namang gustong gusto ko.

Sa aking lovidoods, mahal, salamat sa 3 years na pinadama mong na maganda ako (mag-BF tayo nyan) at 16 years na pinadama mo din na maganda ako kahit na hindi pala hehehhe. Kaso mo naniwala ako eh belat at patuloy na naniniwala na maganda ako inside and out. Imagine that 19 years of togetherness saan ka pa. Sana wag mabasag ang helmet mo hahahha.

Sarap mabuhay sa mundong ito...masayang pamilya, masayang buhay ano pang hahanapin ko...Aba wala na kaya thank you sa IYO Bro....Hindi mo ako iniwan sa laban ng buhay ko. Hindi man ako sa Aling Dionisia na matinding magdasal tuwing laban ni Pacman, pinapakinggan mo pa din ang mga munting bulong ko. Salamat ha Papa Jesus. Salamat sa buhay na binigay mo sa akin...simple pero rock....

Gone Too Soon : Michael Jackson

One of the famous music artist if not the best of all times has just passed away. Michael Jackson has been popular in my household, that even my kids grew up with his music. Why? It is because Wacko Jacko is the favorite of my husband.

Although he has his share of his controversies in life, one thing remain constant...his contribution in the world's music industry is a feat that is hard to surpass. His music will surely continue to linger even after his death.

Some of my personal favorite among his songs are Ben and Gone to Soon.

Michael Jackson may you have a wonderful journey back to Our Father.

=====
On the sidenote:

• I read it over the Net that the traffic generating from the search about the death, life and music of Michael Jackson has been bringing considerably huge traffic over the Net. Likewise, people has also grew interest on searches about the death of Elvis Presley and Beatles' John Lennon.
• Charlie's Angel's Farrah Faucet has also died and together they journey to the light of the Lord.

=====
Death is truly painful but inevitable that no matter how we prepare it will always come like a thief in the night. No one can ever be so watchful, because it comes unexpectedly in the most unexpected moment.

Classes Suspended at my Daughter's School Due to Confirmed Case of A(H1N1)

Just the other night my brother texted me to inform that classes has been suspended in Manila Central University (Caloocan City), where my Ishi and my other pamangkins are studying.

It was reported by Ces Drilon at Bandila (ABS-CBN's news program) last night that classes are suspended starting today, June 23 at the Manila Central University (MCU) in Caloocan City after some University employees tested positive for H1N1. Classes will resume on June 29 (Monday). Updated count says that there are already 8 confirmed A(H1N1) victims in MCU.

Naturally, everything that has been happening is really alarming and frightening. The more worried I am now that the school of my daughter has been affected.

I enjoined each and everyone in praying that everything will be fine. and for all of us to get hope, courage through this difficult times. May Father God intercede and put an end in all these pandemic.

=====
In times like having a medical / health plan will surely help, I am very glad that my company has one of the best medical coverage extending to our family. Perhaps its about time to consider getting a health plan for you and your family if your company does not have one for you. But always be cautious. Remember that at times cheap insurance does not deliver what you expect them of and sometimes you will encounter problems in reimbursing your bills.

My Love Story with Goldilocks

My love story with Goldilocks started even when I was a kid. During those times, life for our family was really so hard that my parents being both government employees will only buy us what is essential and necessary. I will often treasure every birthday celebration in our family, since no matter how hard up we are during those times, my mama and dad will really find a way

I can vividly remember a time when I was still in Grade 5, my Mama bought a chocolate cake from Goldilocks; I was teary eyed as I was blowing my cake because I know that we have a little money during those times. Before my birthday I over-heard my parents talking about how they can pay our Meralco bills. That’s what makes my cake and birthday even more special. I know that they did everything they could just to give me a cake. Just the thought that they really exerted and exhausted all their efforts just to give me this special present makes me happy. I would always treasure those times.

No celebration in my life will pass without a cake from Goldilocks. It is as if every event in my life were witnessed by Goldie. It is the easiest gift that I can think of whenever there is a potluck or I need to show a little gesture of my thoughtfulness. I just can't help to remember their old tag line: "How thoughtful. How Goldilocks."

Now that I am a Mom, Goldilocks has been a household name in my humble abode. Even without celebration in my life, I would always buy healthy pambaon for my kids which they really love. They surely love the meat-filled breads and those malinamnam na mamon.

During all my growing up years it has been inculcated in my mind that when I think of cakes and pastries, I would only think of Goldilocks. It is like as if cakes, celebrations and Goldilocks are synonymous to one another.

Life since I was a kid has not changed a bit except that now, there is no need for an occasion to buy a cake from Goldilocks.

"You're the one Goldilocks because you have been a silent witness of all my fond memories."

Yan ang Filipina : Pussycat Dolls' Nicole Scherzinger

Yesterday I was able to catch the entertainment news and I feel so happy that Nicole Scherzinger together with her all girl group Pussycat Dolls are here in the Philippines for a concert.

Nicole is half-Filipina (her father with surname Valiente hails from Batanes). In her interview, she feels elated to be back in the country and says that she is proud to be a Filipino.

During one of her commercial shoot with Bench she says that she is in real life:

“Like the Filipinos who are often respectful and sometimes meek, but can be assertive, confident and brave, too. Qualities that I like, qualities that I got from my dad,” she beams."

The half-Filipino lead vocalist for the American pop group Pussycat Dolls says she wants to sing the Philippine national anthem when boxing champion Manny Pacquiao fights again.

Her name is Nicole...Yan ang Filipina
