crazy for twilight

The title says it all. I just bought the book Twilight around Nov. 20th before the premier of the movie and eversince I started reading it, I got so hooked my nose was completely glued to it when I had the chance. Well, last night (hahaaa) I slept almost 5 am, my husband was awake the entire time coz he couldn't sleep at all and he saw me still reading in bed, he just shook his head and kept on telling me to get some sleep. I fell so madly in love with the story, the way they pictured Edward was really something else, a dangerous yet beautiful "adonis-like" vampire with eyes that can dazzle you when he spoke. golly! When I read a book I just fall inside my own lil world and picture the actors who are gonna play the parts in the book. but since The motion picture was out anyway the selected cast was already inside my head, every scene in the chapter just made me want to see the movie so bad to see how it is. A lot of critics gave the movie a bad review, and a lot of people expected the movie to be a lot like the book, but hey-that can't ever happen, it's only based on the book. :)

so anyways, up to now I am sooooo deeply in love with the story, I heard most of my co-workers went to see it yesterday (boo me) and they told me I had to go and see it for myself since it was such a spectacular movie! I am so jealous. It's really funny how some of the fans of Rob Pattinson were angry coz they only wanted him to be Cedric Diggory and not the gorgeous vampiric Edward Cullen. I think they selected a great cast, they all look so attractive, so fit to be vampires =D especially Rob, they made a great choice by choosing him, and as for Bella, well she was great too I think the way she was portrayed in the book was kinda pale so she was right for the part. Everytime I hold the book it seems like I don't ever wanna stop, you know the feeling, right? Oh, I can't wait to finish the book before I see the movie. I am also planning to buy the whole Twilight saga, darn you Edward Cullen, you're the one keeping me busy away from the Net!

hahaa, anyways I had such a tough week, I closed all night at work, so hectic... that explains why I am not twitting constantly. my day off would be Thanksgiving day and the day after which means... I can go shopping!! weeee! and for my dear friends and visitors, I miss you all sorry I can't visit your blogs yet, a working mommy is so hard, wish I could be Wonder woman anyday. ciao peeps!

what to choose

I squirm when I hear Diet, no kidding! I guess you know what I'm talking about, I have spent quite an amount of money by doing this and doing that, you know trying those fad diets and EVEN trying out a diet pill, everything in the book I've tried it. I can't really say I did try all of them because It is kinda overwhelming. Me and my co-workers usually share what kind of diet works for us and what really worked in the way, some shared some negative stuff that includes me, I guess that diet pill didn't work for me at all, or maybe I hadn't used it well you know all diet fads require proper food intake and daily exercise so maybe that's why it didn't work. Maybe you're interested in dieting and want to get rid of some flab in some parts of your body? I know I do, as much as I hate to admit it. all you gotta do is visit diet-pills.sybervision.com for all reviews for diet pills where you can read a lot of consumer feedbacks and regarding which diet pill is on their number one best seller! See what fits you and before trying out anything don't ever forget to consult your doctor first.

reminding you

...that it's a beautiful life! because of that Jon and Kate plus 8 commercial on TLC everisnce I've heard it I become so inspired all of a sudden, for some reason it makes me appreciate more of what I've got in my life right now. SO if you are feeling down, troubled or whatever... grab a chair, your fave cup of coffee or drink and just listen to this music, it's so nice, it will remind you of your family, I swear!

sad with grief

I lost my bracelet last night. sad, I know. :( after our shift, I went to my locker and grabbed my bag, took off my smock and went to the restroom, I then realized after washing my hands that my darling ol' bracelet is GONE! I suddenly re traced my steps back to the office, my co-worker decided to help me, if things couldn't get any worse this girl (I'm not telling who she is) added to my frustration by telling us: "watch out, you guys! the carpet is wet!" in bossy mode.

wtf? we were standing up in one place only and she's the one walking all around the carpet before she sat down her desk. I just responded with a simple "ok then, let's get outta here!"

When we went out, my friend looked at me and she was like, "did you hear that?"

I was like: "pasalamat sya mabait ako kundi binara ko sya!"

When I went home, after eating hubby came out of the bedroom to go use the bathroom. we greeted each other, when he came out I confessed that I lost my bracelet. he was so furious and told me he wouldn't buy me anymore, which broke my heart of course, that bracelet was a gift from hubby since 2003 christmas time. It was a simple one and I loved it so much. never did I replaced it for another. filled with tears of disappointment, I ironed one of hubby's uniforms, tears kept on falling. aaww, I ma just hoping someone would return it.

I lost my wedding ring once. I lost it a mile away from our house, at the salt lake shopping center. thank God it was night time, I drove back crying on the way because hubby told me I should drive back to where we shopped, It must have slipped somewhere.

thank God, I saw a twinkle from the darkness, must have been from those tiny diamonds, I finally found it! so yeah, it was a miracle finding it again. now I am hoping for another miracle, oh my goodness...

Oh, Europe!

I know a few friends who now live in Europe and I am so dying to take a vacation there. yeah, yeah it seems unreal to me but hubby promised me one day when the kids are all grown up, we'll probably be able to save one up for those European cruises who knows, maybe we'll hit the jackpot one day, right? anyways, it's considered to be one of my lifetime wishlists, my things to do before I retire or when I do retire someday. I don't know how it is over there, Their lifestyle over there is pretty darn good, or is it how I see it? however, I still would like to get there. I heard it's pretty expensive over there. I love travelling, I got this from my hubbykin's side of his family, they are all travel oriented people. We don't get to travel anymore because of work, but that's ok, at least we have something exciting to look forward to one day.

F.A.S.

I was just watching yahoo about this:

At first I was like, maybe she IS faking it? but then there were other cases as well years ago due to accidents, It's called Foreign accent syndrome... I didn't really know such a thing existed. amazing speaking languages you just don't know. babbling foreign words to people that couldn't even understand you. It really creeps me out in away, though. imagine listening to your old voice and language just weakens you from the thought that you might never ever gain it back again. so weird.

Ruby Tuesday #1

goodness, me... call me crazy but I just had to put up the tree earlier this year. ;) I added more mini stockings, I don't buy those huge stockings coz first of all we don't have our own fireplace to hang it from. =) I usually put up the tree around after thanksgiving but since the lil one bugged me to put it up, ta-da! I haven't displayed the smaller ornaments, I got too tired that night. I couldn't forget one morning when I woke up my son and told him to check out something in the living room he was like "whooooahhh!" and got all giggly asking santa for extra gifts for his wishlist, oh my.... happy ruby Tuesday, everyone!

yummy figs

I envy people who have a big yard with a huge garden! That's the best part of having your own piece of land, you can always grow your own fresh produce right there and then. Most of my co-workers give me lots of fruits and vegetables when they harvest, I appreciate them giving me some eventhough I don't ask for it. One of my filipina co-workers, she's like a mom to me because she is so sweet and she constantly smiles when she sees me, we're very close she bakes me banana bread whenever she has time, too. One time she gave me a bag full of figs, and oh boy they taste so delicious, I can't really tell what it tastes like though, but she has her very own fig tree at their backyard given by her dad many years ago when she was a lot younger, when I asked what it was she told me it was called a fig, from the biblical tree, like the one we eat called fig newtons. As I tried it, it somehows resembles a kiwi fruit or a very soft guava, except it was really sweet. I told her someday I would like to own some of those Fig trees, my son loved it so did my mom except for hubbykins, he didn't really want to taste it at all fearing it wouldn't taste good. for those who want to own a fig tree, visit the Nursery at tytyga.com, browse their selections for they have hundreds to choose from, may be it for your own personal yard, your business or just for your home, rest assured that they got it!

wishing and hoping

Wishing and hoping. The title pretty much sounds like one of Chikai's blog hehee...

I just finished applying online for the temporary job announcement: Lead store associate that just opened at our store. I've been working for 5 years now at the commissary and I am just truly praying so hard that I can get it. GS-05 is a good position at our place, it's not bad. It's a temporary spot not to exceed 1 year and can be made permanent without further competition. A lot of people from work has been encouraging me to try it out, and I was surprised, blessed them :) one of them was L who is now a temporary supervisory associate alongside with M who owned the spot I am applying for, she really begged me to apply for it... aww, how sweet...

I am such a nervous wreck right now since I found out that the whole GS-04 from our admin office are going to apply for it not to mention they have all been here fr almost 15 to 20 years now, yikes.. I am trying my best not to be too confident about this, it's up to God whoever he chooses to get it. I'm contented with my current work, being in the cash cage handling a big sum of money, I'm the youngest that ever got the GS-04 teller spot back in 2005. A lot of my co-workers said that I was very lucky to get that spot since most of them had to work around 10 years the most just to get promoted. Customer Service is hard work. Well, we can all say that there is no easy job at all, right? plus, it's only a 10 minute drive from our place, avoiding the traffic jam (yeahh) *fingers crossed* but, whoever gets it there will be no hard feelings, I'll still wait for a slot that will be truly mine. ;)

these I like....

I love simple gifts like beaded jewelries, I have a passion for earrings and necklaces, but these will do... thank you! ;)

view the rest of my etsy faves HERE. you can call me etsyhollic hahaa!

it's the place to be!

It's that most wonderful time of the year... I just feel like singing, because I can just feel the cool breezy air, the smell of chestnuts roasting in the air.. sounds like a song huh? I'm not kidding I love christmas! who doesn't? anyways, I'm a sucker for any sale that is going on, yes and where can you find those great deals for your christmas shopping list? at Buy.com, where else? this year I want to make sure I am not behind and try to avoid the holiday rush, order online for all of your christmas shopping needs. Where else can you find the greatest deals, low and affordable prices, free shipping, anything you have in mind Buy.com has it! incredible, no wonder this online shopping store is a hit! so don't wait a minute until the holiday rush comes, shop at Buy.com now!

toy hunt # 1

This pink stuffed toy is among the favorites of my son besides of the other few stuffed toys he has. why PINK? don't ask me why. he just loves it eventhough I tease him that it's only for girls. we actually got this by mistake, in one of those toy vending machines, we were actually lucky we got that that day coz we never EVER get any at all. he says it's very soft and comfy. =D can't help but make a face everytime he hugs it and sings the song:

P is for Penelope,
Penelope, Penelope.
P is for Penelope,
a proud and pretty pig.
Penelope is pink and plump,
pink and plump, pink and plump,
Penelope is pink and plump,
a truly perfect pig.


over and over, and over again...

It just cracks me up coz he's singing that to a pink dog! lolz. funny!

been there, done that

Believe it or not, I've been there! losing weight has been one of my greatest challenges and I am still my own chubby self no matter what I do. no motivation and determination. these are the only keys on creating a healthy weight loss plan. without these you'll only gain more and more weight. It's almost 2009, I remembered on losing 13 lbs the first few months but when my brother passed away I wasn't really watching what I ate then, so I packed on the pounds again. I gotta stop this before I blow up more into a hot air balloon. It's not easy, folks. I keep on searching for the right diet, ut unfortunately nothing seems to be working. everything you take must have complete diet and exercise, nothing works like a miracle, people. I guess some diet pills out there works for some people depends on your body chemistry.

read more on how to lose weight at lab88.com, you got to be careful on what you take, reading helpful reviews will save you a lot, too. don't just purchase any kind you got to know the history and feedback on certain diet products and be sure to consult your doctor first before taking anything.

What I want...

...Is to splurge on elegant style jewelries! ha! like I need more, right? kidding aside, I sure love jewelries, fake or not I still wear them no matter what. I just feel so bare without any jewelry especially when at work, you know. I want a little spark with me anywhere I go. I usually go at my favorite shops at the mall and buy whatever I am interested in at the moment. I'm building up my wishlist right now and I might buy some of these wholesale fashion jewelry at dskeepsakes.com. I looked at so many designs and from different categories, I loved it so much and I enjoyed browsing their shop. maybe you are opening your own mini shop you might want to head on over there and buy your stuff with incredible low prices, not bad. I'm thinking of buying a few stuff for friends and families because christmas is just around the corner I still need to do a lot of stuff!

what is fibromyalgia?

When we hear fibromyalgia, what do you think it is? ask me that and I will have no clue what it is. seriously, We learn something new everyday, right? I just had to look it up online to see what it is because you don't really hear that word often and I am not really familiar with it. according to Wikipedia: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a disorder classified by the presence of chronic widespread pain and a heightened and painful response to gentle touch (tactile allodynia).

Now, based on what I read I think I've known some family friends back then who suffered from this and I am pretty sure this is what they were suffering from I just had no idea what it's called. visit www.ultrapms.com for more information on this type of condition and They have this kind of natural vitamin and mineral supplement called Fibrostol to help you prevent and relieve the pains caused by Fibromyalgia and CHRONIC FATIGUE SYNDROME.

fright night (part1)

Let the pictures do the talking! here's the first part of our trick or treating. I am in a hurry, so a few pics won't hurt. wait for the next one! Nathan had a lot of fun at their halloween fall fair, he brought back a huge bag with lots of goodies in it! as well as halloween projects they made in class. we met up with our neighbors and with their kids around 6:00 pm and we went to the navy housing and had a great scare! had lots of candies and the houses were just amazing than the last time, so cute! It didn't rain either, hurray for that! the sucky part was.... I was sick! allergies acted up since at work. so bummer. but all in all, it turned out great for all of us.



















Please claim your treats over HERE.

weekly roundup

happy 1st of November! and now time for another weekly roundup.

Well, I'll just give a summary of what happened in my week. tuesday morning I was heading back home from Walmart at Pearl City, as I was driving in the road I noticed a chunk of metal laying on the middle of my lane, it was too late to change lanes since there were lots of vehicles on the other side so I took the chance and heard a loud thug sound underneath. When I got the chance to park our van, I hurriedly took a look underneath if there was any damage at all. thank goodness, nothing happened to my car.

a few hours later after fetching my son up from school and my hubbykins when we were driving home all of a sudden the engine sounded funny! a bit later, we found leaks and they had to tow our van away since it wasn't safe to drive it! the next day they reported that it was a huge damage and it costs $2,400, so we called geico and everything went ok, at first they told us that we were going to pay $500 then the next hour we needed to pay $1,000! but they assured us that they will do everything they can to low it down a bit since 1,000 is too much. so we have a rental car at the moment. I'm telling you, our van is suffering from one accident to another. and with the expenses we are having at the moment, I am not gonna shop for material things just yet. I feel bad and I hate to shop when I know we need to pay for a lot of things, you know what I'm talking about. =(

Nathan had a field trip at Aloun farms and presented me with his lil cute pumpkin. I carved it the next day, here it is!






yesterday was a fun day! I worked in the morning from 10 to 4, a lot of people dressed up, a few witches here and there, bagger wore a zorro costume, one cashier she was african-american of course but she was cute coz she had a marilyn monroe costume, a gorgeous one I may say =). one spent $800 (heck no!) for a costume, he was around 18 or 19 I guess, it was some sorta robot costume, hard plastic and leather, and he was pretty tall so it was pretty freaky. a couple old ladies dressed as evil hags, one cashier dressed up as a vampire school girl from this manga she was reading, complete with fangs hehee. one was a prisoner who escaped from the corrections, and one with balck and white prisoner suit with her back saying caught from shoplifting with a serial number on her back, hahaa! I didn't bring my devil horns nor my witch hat, it was pretty hot at work esp. when you are running around like crazy! after that around 6 we went trick or treating by the navy housing, it turned out great since it didn't rain! you can read more about it HERE. well, that's about it! happy weekly roundup! pls join us HERE.
