grad party

I just finished attending the graduation party of my friend Kimmy's brother. It was awesome really, what touched me the most when I said goodbye today, the celebrant told me they really pulled a lot of strings so I could come to the party (that means I'm special) =P. It was held at the Pearl Country Club they had a lot of Hula and Tahitian intermissions, I swear those little kids can really swing their hips! too bad I didn't really took videos of the intermissions, I was too busy watching the kids dance, I especially loved the number they had, they danced to the song of He Mele No Lilo from Lilo and stitch. so cute! I wanna share some pics but most of the pics are on my friends' cameras. so I'll definitely share more later...

Chrissy and Jamie


Chrissy and Leona


Meleane and Russel (the celebrant)

party ended up with lots of dancing. All my supervisors and store managers were there dancin' like crazy, it was just fun! can you believe that it's my 1st party (again) in 4 years? I'm so getting old! I've been considered a workaholic (for which I am)... oh well,later peeps, gotta get some sleep now..

have a blessed day everyone!

back to work + other stuff

I am soooo happy. Leona just came back from Hilo a few days ago and before I went home that night our director asked me if I can work overtime on my day off the next day. I really didn't care about the stress anymore, for 6 hours overtime, not bad. I only had one day off yesterday and I spent the whole shopping. I swear I hate this, I've been spending a lot lately and I don't wanna make hubby feel bad. Our first stop was at Borders and Nathan had picked up a spider man book I dragged him quickly out of the store kicking and slapping me in the face smudging my lipstick (oh, dear) but he was just screamin' bloody murder, I tell ya. shopping is therapeutic. but when you have a lil one with you, I doubt if it's anymore therapeutic, I think it's more stressful. I saw this little paragraph at a Reader's digest magazine (JAN 2007) I really see me and my hubby in this lil story here. =)

Walking downtown, I passed an elderly couple holding hands. Utterly charmed, I commented on how delightful it was to see them being so tender at their age. "I've been holding her hand when we go out for over 30 years," the man told me. "I have to. If I let go, she shops." - RON BIRD

yay! I think hubby's gonna buy me a laptop. he has his dell card while surfing the dell website last night (eeekk, I'm so excited!) he didn't tell me what he bought just yet, I guess it's a surprise.

hubby, I love you! xoxoxoxoxox

for the love of money

Me and my mom just had a conversation about a family friend long time ago. she was such a sweet friendly girl for may years, but after dumping her long time bf just for a rich british boyfriend it seems like she didn't know anybody at all. she seemed to have everything she wanted, from house, to cars and jewelries. she was a stuck up snob. recently we heard that she robbed her british bf for money according to her relatives. how pathetic.

What goes around comes around

And this neighbor of ours who started out small but became a well off family coz her daughters were half japanese and chinese so they worked in Japan as entertainers. We saw how their life went. they would have their house filled with party guests thru the wee hours of the morning almost everyday, can you imagine that? they didn't care if their neighbors were bothered or not. I just felt sad for the other girl, she was like my auntie since she was a very good friend of one of my aunts. she didn't had any luck with love at all, she became anorexic, had breast cancer, but my mom told me she already had a child but still no husband. BUT as for her family, they lost their house, their money, and oh goodness I think the grandmother is wanted now for drug pushing. their life slowly crumbling down to little pieces. see how life works? God works in mysterious ways and if you don't ever look back from where you came from, expect the worst. It might just hit you hard on the back. I just don't get it why people can be like that? They can be blinded by money and forget the special friends they once had. hmmm... I gotta get ready work. love you all!

have a blessed day everyone!

shopping, rants, laptop, sweet, karma

I feel exhausted.. =/

we Watched Shrek the third last May 18, and It was wonderful! The theatres were packed with family audiences of course. we got to choose good seats, thank goodness. So if you haven't watched Shrek 3 yet, you all must go and see it now, such a hilarious movie! anwyays last night after watching The last mimzy I dropped by Blockbuster to rent a movie, when I parked next to a truck, this guy from the waiting shed came real close to our vehicle and he was like looking at us in a weird way and all that. I got down. rolled the windows up and told my brother to roll his windows up, too and lock the doors. I walked away from our van hoping that this stupid guy would just leave already. my heart thumping so bad, it's better to be safe than sorry coz (ahem) you never know he might have a knife in his hand or what, gahh I'm scared of that! I hurried to the counter if they had the Pan's labyrinth movie but tough luck they were all checked out. so I headed back to the van and asked what did the guy want, It turned out he was only asking if we had any lighter for his cigarettes. =/ blehh..

Customers can really test you to the core sometimes. being in customer service for 4 years I think I've been able to sprout some balls =). Today I had a cashier who cried so bad coz a senior chief cussed at her and yelled at her just because his paper towel rang up wrong. (sigh) the cashier ran to the break room, I finished the rest of the transaction. she was hurt very bad. I understand her coz I had my own experiences, too. we all do, I'm sure. but from time to time I just became immune talking to customers and hearing their complaints. I developed a lil bit of self confidence and I learn a lot from my superiors, I am really thankful to them coz they make me more stronger each day.

Low class?

My fellow co-workers had told me something about this new girl at work, they told me she was a real sassy one and she commented to one of my filipina co-workers that she doesn't mingle with low class people (since her husband's captain), come again? did I hear that right? I suddenly felt the urge to meet this lady. low class, my a**

Oh, lookie.. our video clip for the day:

whenever I am watching a video clip my lil Nathan comes and watches with me, too. that's ate Rose's site we're watching.

I have to get some shut eye, I'm supposed to be off tomorrow but our director asked me to work 6 hours overtime tomorrow. Blessings have been pouring in, thank God. just like what they say: "there's always sunshine after the rain."

have a blessed day everyone!

a Wedneday LO~

Time for a layout. I decided to make an LO last night. while working on my scraps, it's about 12:30 (Oo nga naman, matulog na kami) and my son was bugging me to go to bed already since he wanted to watch his Over the hedge dvd (which he watched a hundred times already, cripes), and I'm like:

"wait a minute.. just hold on.. a few more minutes.. teka lang, anak ko! wait for mama in the bedroom, ok?"

and still later...

he comes out of the room with an angry face and tells me:

"mama! you should turn off that computer right now! I'm waiting but you're not done yet! turn it off! turn it off right now!"

*sigh* what can I say, the boy is so much like his father. everytime I'm in front of my computer my hubby keeps telling me to shut off the pc. The only time I enjoy my scraps are at night when they are asleep or when hubby is at work and Nathan's fast asleep.

happy 24th

I had a wonderful birthday! thank you so much, guys for making it all a great one for me. I baked 2 trays of chocolate cake to take to work the next morning. I didn't really want them to know it was my birthday but somehow the cake gave it away, I guess. the first person gave me such a sweet smelling lei, then the second lei came and then another and so forth. It was so funny coz each person who came to the door just greeted me with hugs and kisses. my supervisor made me a lead at the front end for 2 weeks until they find another lead. so I am supervising the cashiers for now. I miss the cash cage very much, I think it's more stressful not doing anything at all outside than doing a lot of tasks inside the cash room =/. It was so funny, after an hour later someone called me to the lost and found for customer assistance, then all of a sudden I went inside the customer sevice office, and lo and behold, I gasped in disbelief... SURPRISE!!! I almost cried when I saw the boxes of pizzas and sodas inside, they all pitched in and called for a pizza delivery, aww.. those kids were just awesome. I really value all my co-workers, I think that's the price you pay when you are very kind to them. I am so thankful to God for it was a blessed day. the commissary was busy but we get to enjoy my birthday. it was just funny coz my manager was just typing away in the other half of the room never minding the noisy kids hanging around in the office (they're not supposed to, though) but since it was my day they were allowed to play around, I'm tellin' you it was like were havin' a party there! so yeah pictures down below.

with ate Rosary (my fellow lead)

birthday note from Josh and Katie (they actually hung this in the cash count room)


birthday note from Nicole (she hung this up in the customer service office counter.


my pretty, sweet smelling leis


mom cooked pancit. here's the pic almost half done.


chocolate cake, hubby bought it. he said he was suppose to buy candles 2 and 4 but he forgot anyway, that's ok though =P

moving on.. last may 4 after work we finally saw spiderman 3 wooo hoooo! love it, love it, love it! I especially loved Topher Grace in this movie, I didn't really care for him from the 70's show but in this movie he seems like a version of Hayden Christensen with his blonde locks *_*. anyways, he looks a lil like Toby maguire, too. he seems to be a bit more buffed in this movie just to play the part of Venom, and of course... I'll leave everything to you guys... go watch this movie now!! but heck, we had a hard time finding a parking space, we went to Ward to watch it and I was just driving around in circles, goodness. half hour later I finally got one, then as soon as we rushed to the theatre a snake like line was just zig zagged throughout the theatre... arghhh! Nathan was a lil fuzzy then but didn't want to go home just yet (he's a spider man enthusiast), and I just wanted to go home so bad the 8:45 show was sold out so I had to buy the 10:25 tickets instead. we all enjoyed it very much especially my lil man who wanted to see spiderman 4.. err, it's not even in the making yet (lol)I swear that's the last time we are ever going to the movies at night, especially if it was just the first day of showing (rats) so yeah, we went home around 1:30, went to sleep around 2:30, got up around 6am and went to work at 7. sweet, huh? gahh, I was so tired that day, I swear.

thank you to all those who gave their warm birthday greetings on my special day, view HERE for my bday greetings and gifts.
thank you Lin for the wonderful gift.. thank you, everyone for all your friendshp. I bid adieu for now, mommy duties here I come!

I need a vacation!

t seems like everybody (majority of my friends, that is) are taking vacations back to the Philippines and I am soooo envious coz I really miss my hometown so bad. I was browsing some Subic bay pictures on the net and I was just so thrilled by looking at them. I myself do not have pictures back in Olongapo city so I took the pleasure of surfing the net giving myself of course a virtual tour of where I once lived (how I miss it so much). how time flies and in just a short time there are lots of new places that had been built in subic. Ohh, it Just brings back lots of memories. I swear, when I am given the chance to go back there-- and even for a short while I will try my best to relive what's on my list:

THINGS TO DO:

1. eat at Sheavens coz this is where we had our very first date Feb. 17, 2002
2. eat at the coffee shoppe a lil fave restaurant of me and hubby. they have the best tacos and barbeques. *yum*
3. go to Ocean view beach resort where we totally got romantic under the sweet moonlight and calm waters of the beach. *sigh*
4. drive around subic bay like what we always do back then.
5. shop in Manila. go see the Mall of Asia.
6. visit Enchanted Kingdom
7. take a trip to the spa.
8. go to the salon.
9. eat at Wimpys Restaurant. a family friend owns this place and we just love their fried rice and pancit there. a childhood favorite place. *drool*
10. visit the bbq place we love close to our street. Jon drives me there like every week.
11. visit Ocean adventure to see the lovely whales and Zoobic safari for the wild animals they had.
12. drop by the little mall they built (once called the night market) by the subic bay gate. it was our favorite tambayan and galaan once with my friends after school and weekends. I'd love to shop for clothes there!
13. visit my friends and hang out with them. I miss them so much!
14. probably go to the beach.
15. shop for pasalubongs for my friends here in Hawaii.
16. take plenty and plenty of pictures!!! fun, fun, fun!

We do have the benefits to fly here and there since hubby works for Continental Cargo but somehow we're not thinking of having our vacation just yet. can you believe it's been 4 years and we hadn't touched our leave ever? yeah, it's that important. but someday I know we'll have our dream vacation and shelling out big bucks ain't our priority just yet. We have 3 places on our list: San Diego, Orlando Florida and the Philippines.

I made one scrap today, thank goodness. quite simple.
