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.

I'm off today, I want us to go to the movies today so I was searching for great movies in the internet, but then the commercial of Pan's labyrinth dvd is coming out this May 15th, I've never seen it, since it came out last year I think. has anyone seen it? I wanna watch it, seems interesting. so I went to youtube and found a trailer:

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.

darn you!!! (long post ahead)

hahaa! pardon the post but yeah.. I am currently cooking right now our favorite Menudo and *cough* it's about 10:30 pm. yes, I'm weird like that, I didn't cook anything today so I am making a batch for our lunch and dinner tomorrow. we just came home from the hospital, my brother's going to be discharged tomorrow morning and I won't have time to cook.

speaking of the title I meant the germs, me and Jon woke up around 4:30 am with the sound of sobbing and sniffing, a lil cry that would really scare you. we thought he was just having a bad dream so we turned the lights on right away since we felt some wetness in our bed, and aaww poor baby vomited all over our bed. so we thought it was just a lil indigestion since he overate that night. we told my mom to watch Nathan and call us if we need to take him badly to the hospital. well, my mom informed me that he kept vomiting all day at least 6 times when we were away. after picking up a box of pizza at Costco we stopped and fed Nathan a lil bit of cheese pizza and not even 3 minutes later he threw up again! so we were on our way to the hospital to drop off some food at my brother then continued on to Kaiser.

Nathan got confined for at least 5 hours, golly.. they had him drink pedialyte which was really hard for me since he didn't want to take it. next, they had to draw blood from him so they poked his arms, ughh blood squirted everywhere coz I swear that kid is strong! I had tiny scratches on my face struggling to keep his arms and legs straight. when it was time to put an IV on him they wrapped him cocoon like in a blanket and I think It took 4 nurses to keep him still, he was screaming bloody murder, I tell ya. he kept on doo dooing and I guess that he had diarrhea, coz all day air was having a hard time going out of his stomach. my poor lil man, he suffered so much this month, darn germs!! you can never be too careful. I am so thankful to God he wasn't dehydrated at all.

near death experience
I was hospitalized because of dehydration when I was 16, I was already dressed up for school when all of a sudden I sat down and told my mom that I was having LBM for 3 days already, diarrhea pills weren't helping at all. so I stayed home, but then I was so in pain I told my mom I can't walk straight anymore, my mom rushed me to the hospital coz she saw my nails were almost black already and my face was so pale. after getting admitted at Afable Hospital (my hubby's house was near that hospital. coincidence?) the doctor told my mom that they brought me so late and I had only 12 hours to live. my mom almost fainted when she heard that and she cried so bad. but thank God everything was back to normal. that was such a near death experience, that's why I am loving every bit of my life no matter what pain I go through. another was when I was about to get married with Jon, it was a week before our wedding day. it was also dehydration, and stress because my MIL was a city councilor at the time and we had such a hectic schedule, I was always there to accompany her to her meetings and campaigns, wether it was sunny or rainy I was there to help her. somehow one day I just got it and I couldn't get out of bed. my hubby was giving me a sponge bath and all of a sudden I was getting hot and cold at the same time, hubby rushed me to the hospital as quickly as he could(nagdidiliryo na raw ako) my MIL cried and blamed herself for everything. lapitin daw sa disgrasya ang magkasintahan pag malapit nang ikasal sabi nila. I really don't believe in superstitious beliefs, nagkataon lang talaga siguro. so anyways, I got out of the hopsital right before our wedding and can you believe I was coughing so bad at our reception, how embarrassing! so that leaves us with our story for the day. how lil things like germs can invade your body and could also cost you your life. grr.. and yes, my bestfriend is now water.

I have some assignments from mommy Rose and Yvie.

why do I blog?
I blog simply because I have this certain fulfillment whenever I finish a post. or sometimes whenever I feel down or feel inspired I usually love jotting things down from my mind. I really don't care if people don't read my posts, coz we all know we can't impress everybody, and I am not here to do that either. my posts are mainly about my family, I truly love my family very much and I am always inspired because of them. one more thing is I love blogging because I meet a lot of nice wonderful people who put a lot of input in my site, great feedbacks on my situations and lil comments that make me smile everyday. I don't care if I have a comment or two, I enjoy posting and I love meeting new people everyday. from miles and miles away I realized you can also gain friends thru the net and one outlet is thru blogging. I always stopped blogging and the next thing you know I am back again on the net. I love reading all my previous posts and I am sure you do. it's like reliving the greatest moments that happened in your life. so whenever I get the chance I document every possible detail ever. sooo, that's why I blog.

random stories

weeee I'm back, people! sorry for the delay, yours truly got sick for the past few days, and got busy with a lot of stuff. I still have a lil runny nose but it's all good. we took Nathan to the hospital last april 13th coz he had a very high fever, so we decided to take him to the hospital since it's just a 5 minute drive from our place, and from what we've noticed for the past 3 weeks he had some trouble urinating, I think it was very painful for him everytime he urinates. he'd scream and run around in circles with his toes curled up, then when he finishes we'd asked him:

"are you ok now? is it still hurting?" then he'd answer the same reply as always, "it's hurting my pee-pee.." hehee, that's the way he talks, his sentences aren't straight just yet. so the doc checked him out, he was very cooperative, he only cried when he had his shots in both legs and when they took a blood sample from his arm. an hour later we found out that he has a viral infection. we were sooo worried about Nathan. so doc gave us this medicine, Omnicef 7ml each day for 7 days. his last day is today and so far the past 4 days we didn't see him hurting at all, hurrayy!!

after Nathan getting sick, Jon had a fever, too, that night. then the next day my brother also probably caught it. so did I coz I realized after working 3 hours on my shift I started sneezing like crazy and my face was very red as a tomato, they tried telling me to go home but I told them I'd survive my 8 hour shift =/ Kimmy, my friend at the cash room bought me some soup, she's so sweet. now I really know she'd be a terrific successful nurse someday as well as her bestfriend Candice, they'll be graduating next year and I know I'll miss them terribly at work. they'll be interning at Queens and Tripler hospital. remember, guys: I LOVE YOU!!!

so after work at 11:00 I drove them downtown at Kapiolani hospital and left him there after settling down for 30 minutes, they said it was dangerous for cancer patients to have a high fever, a lot of cancer patients die if they disregard having a fever, they asked him to come to the hospital right away. so they had him confined up to now...

here's a funny conversation from Leona (my co-worker) and our customer refunding 10 vagisil creams.

Leona: ma'am, I need to see your receipt, and please sign your name at the bottom. by the way, what is wrong with the product?"
Customer: Oh, oh.. there's nothing wrong with it, in fact I bought a lot and I am just TOO DRY."

for most of you, it's not funny. but when Leona had finished refunding the vagisil creams, she was like, "I AM SO DRY!" helloooo, isn't that just too much information? we don't need to know that you're so dry. but yeah, if you were in our place here you'd be crackin up, too. arghh, grocery stores just have the funniest and irritating customers ever. cripes, a lot of people would think our jobs would be stressful, to tell you the truth it is SURE stressful but if you're enjoying yourself you'd be successful soon enough. all we have to do is have patience. patience is a virtue. that's our motto. and it always works everytime. every thing pays of in the right time.

I threw a lot of papers from last year, it was my my mother-in-law's print outs from over hundreds of houses for sale ads, she would be spending her vacation here around July, and I am pretty sure we'll be house hunting again like we did last year. she's constantly collecting newspapers everyday, looking at ads for affordable houses. she wants us to buy a house asap, coz if you think about it spending 1250 a month on a one bedroom condo including utilities is expensive. not for us, we don't think about that just yet. it seems like the money we're spending is enough for mortgage already. so we decided not to buy a house here, me and hubby decided we'd finally buy a house in San Diego, where my sister-in-law and her family would settle down eventually, maybe in about 3 yrs. they have one more stop in Korea and that's it. I am hoping by then my brother would be as healthy as ever so he can move on with his life, too. I love my brother very much and I just worried with his situation. as for this week, I am taking my mom to the airport, at Gate Gourmet to apply for a job, please pray for my mom... I hope she gets it...

and of course last but not the least...

for the birthday girl:

pictures time+ long story

first of all hope you guys had a great easter! early saturday morning I had to drive hubby to work at 5:30 in the morning. drove back home waited the next 2 hours, stayed in bed and instead of dozing off watched "six feet under" on tv. drove my brother to Kapiolani for his chemo, took Nathan and mom at St. Philomena's chapel nearby our home. after that we went to the easter egg hunt, and nope, Nathan didn't play. why? coz we're too late and besides the heat is just killing us that day so we decided to head back home and eat ice cream.

Nate and mom in front of our van at the chapel.


I love you...


just too pretty to miss.


at the Salt lake community easter egg hunt.


Nathan enjoying himself.


Nathan with his egg eyes. trying to be funny. =)


after a long day...whew!

well, the day didn't end there, Jon wanted to shop at Daiei (now, Don Quijote) but something popped in his mind, he wanted to drive us at Waianae since we've never been there, and after long, long miles later we finally saw what waianae looked like. it basically looks like subic back in the Philippines, if you've been to subic, Zambales then you know what I'm talking about. it's so quiet there and laid back, feels like home, I suddenly miss Olongapo *sniff* anyways, the beaches are terrific although it's a lil scary living way over there. on our way back I spot the pretty subdivisions nearby the interstate, I shrieked in excitement for I loooove looking at houses, wishing someday we could already afford to buy one soon. but I don't think we'll be buying one here sooner coz houses here in Hawaii is ohh, so pricey! drat.

anywaysss, I'll be seeing you guys later... time for me to sleep. =) mahalo nui loa!

grrr...

I'm so pissed right now but I can't rant over here. basta, naiinis ako!

friends tayo! (tagalog post ahead)

hubby and my brother are soooo addicted to god of war 2. they just finished the first one and I'm telling ya it aint funny anymore. there are times my hubby can't sleep anymore because of playing the game. ack, I'm not fond of playing video games. eversince I got married I somehow departed with my other half who was once a video game addict. =P natutuwa ako kagabi, nakachat ko si sis Lin at si sis Valerie, ang saya saya! kahit sa sandaling panahon lang masaya pa rin. sana sa uulitin! bakit kaya ganun ano, kung sino pa mga online friends mo sila pa talaga ang mas concern sayo. mga friends ko sa malayo, bihira ko na lang sila makausap. namimiss ko na sila sobra. yung bestfriend ko naman, na hindi ko na masasabing bestfriend talaga eh wala nakong balita sa kanya. di na sumasagot sa email ko, dinelete na nya yung friendster nya, hindi na rin sumasagot sa mga letters ko. ano bang ginawa ko? anong ginawa ko sa kanya para ganituhin nya ako. last na nabalitaan ko eh umuwi ng pinas from Korea kasama ang anak nya, tapos kung sino sino ang mga nagiging bf nya sa Olongapo, which is hindi ko pinaniwalaan. I was waiting for an answer pero yung huling email nya sakin eh namimiss na raw nya ako at sorry daw dahil busy daw sya. nag aaral daw sya, "kuno". narinig ko na yan eh. pero huminto rin ulit. di ko alam bakit bigla syang nag bago? wag nyang sasabihing ako ang nagbago dahil simulat sapul sinabihan ko na sya na kilalanin mabuti mga lalaking kinakasama nya. she wouldn't listen. I treated her not only my bestfriend but a sister as well. siguro dahilan sa nakita ko na ang lalaking magpapasaya sa akin kaya umiiwas na sya akin. basta ang akin lang bakit mo kelangan sirain ang friendship natin sa walang kwentang bagay? buti pa yung mga tropa ko na hindi ko gaanu nakasama sa mga galaan namin noon hanggang ngayon nariyan pa rin sila panay email lang ang aming tulay, buti pa sila, nakakaalala...

naaalala ko rin noong buntis pa ako pinuntahan nya ako one day sinabi sakin yung problema nya, baka daw buntis sya kung pwede raw umutang, so pinautang ko naman. hindi ko sya siningil kasi wala naman syang trabaho noon eh, parang yung isa ko ring friend sa college na pinasukan ko, panay ang dalaw sa akin one day naglakas loob rin umutang buntis daw sya hindi sya sure, kaya ayun pinautang ko. bakit ganun, anong nangyari sa kanila? lalo na doon sa huling friend na kaclose ko pa mandin sobra nawala bigla?! for me, wala naman sa akin yung perang yun, all I ask is for their friendship, maging loyal lang naman sila sa akin. may isa akong kasamahan sa work, koreana sya, mahilig manlibre, pero pangit ang ugali nya, kasundo ko naman. ang pangit lang is yung mga co-workers ko eh niloloko lang sya. =( so akala nya nabibili nya yung friendship nila, para sa akin hindi mo pwedeng daanin lahat sa materyal na bagay para lang magkaroon ka ng kaibigan. naiipit ako palagi pag nag aaway away sila. kasi nagkakaron ng sumbatan. kaya pag inaalok ako ng kape or kahit anu nung ibang co-workers ko, simpleng no thank you lang ako. kaya ayan naman, wala silang masabi sa akin. ayoko ng may kaaway. sa totoo lang. lahat ng tao sa amin, kasundo ko gaya nung sabi ni Valerie nakakasundo nya pati mga masusungit, tama yun ako ren ganun, bilib nga sila sa akin na tetake ko daw yung kasungitan ng mga kasamahan ko, it's just so funny talaga. I love making friends. I don't judge people on how they look or if they're rich or not. basta kaibigan kang totoo at may puso, friends tayo!

I don't bite. if you want to be my friend or you just wanna say something nice EMAIL ME I'm a nice person if you'll just get to know me. thank you all for visiting my blog, I guess I gotta get some shut eye, it's 10:45 pm and I need to get my sleep na. take care!!

aloha!

last friday we had a great dinner at Hee hing restaurant (great chinese food with affordable rices) down by Kapahulu ave. by Waikiki with my hubby's cousin with her dear hubby. It feels so great to go out once in awhile with relatives, anyway they're only staying here in Hawaii for a few days so we gave them a lil treat. Jon's cousin is sooo sweet, she gave me some pasalubongs like Victorias secret lotion and underwears. they were talking about their houses in San Diego and how they're trying to sell their Lago Madero 3 bedroom house to us. my hubby was like stunned, we can't afford it right now. we'll wait until my sister in law and her family settles down coz her husband who's in the Navy has 3 more years in Korea, they're leaving Japan around July. sooo yeah, my hubby said we'll only buy a house if they're ready to buy a house in San Diego. and oh, I scrapped a bit today and here it is: a day at Northshore.

hubby's vacation is almost done, he has one day left and I tell ya it's been 3 yrs and only this year he asked for his leave, just like me. I guess we're a little workaholic.. I just realized that. =P

I'm so happy! Nathan can finally read a little bit, and he can write his Name, too. everyday at least 2 times a day I sit down with him and his books and we turn off the tv to avoid distractions, what's weird about Nathan is you have to hold his elbow to guide him, although he THINKS I am guiding him but I'm really not, I don't know if you get me.. but yeah, he's been a great kid and he's improving a lot. thank God for giving me the patience to do all of these. and as for all of you folks out there, I'll talk to you guys later.. mommy duties awaits. *sigh*

mushrooms and faes

remember him? I can't believe Elliott Yamin's album came out already. see, you don't have to be winner at anything just to be successful in life. and look, they fixed his teeth, too. nothing new, just a lil random post. I'm bored. supposed to tell some juicy updates, but maybe I'll post again tomorrow. here's his video by the way. well, as you all know I changed the layout again, no sanrio theme this time. mushrooms and faeries (as you can see my little fae's are welcoming you to my lil haven here) I don't know there's something about night time themes, maybe because I can only work peacefully at night before I sleep. I'm a certified night owl, I can't work on the computer during daytime.

so yeah, I have to get ready for work now. enjoy, people! laters..

Elliott Yamin's Wait for you

to LIN and everyone: I just realized I didn't put Elliott Yamin's name here, all these time you guys didn't know who I was talkin' about. sooo embarrassing! anyway thanks again!

OH MY GOODNESS!!

I can't believe the cops went to our apartment last night around 12:30 am, and reported our MPV VAN BEING STOLEN!!! that left us puzzled coz we bought our new van around march 07. hmm, now we were wondering why our name is still on the old van since it's been 2 weeks since we've traded it in? my husband got sooo pissed at the dealer, I don't know if he called them this morning about it. we were thinking maybe because it was a pretty old van myabe instead of disposing it they drove it to pearl city and left it there--just our lil theory. I don't know. but when we heard that we just gasped in disbelief. I truly loved that blue van, so sad to gave it up, too... it was so funny coz my mom woke us up and told us that the policewoman was outside the door and she couldn't understand what they were trying to tell her. we were in deep sleep =P so yeah it was a chilly night, too. we thought that the rental car we had had been towed or something it was just somethin' else, I tell ya. after that we all went back to sleep, too bad it was hard for me to get back my good sleep, argh!

happy monday!

I decided to blog here often better than my multiply, It's so tiring having multiple blogs =) sooo, yeah you can always find my fresh posts here. ok, now for the 411. what happened to me by the way? hmm, been busy doing a lot of things but thank God everything is back to normal, and for our van, hubby's going to pick it up tomorrow at the shop, darn it I missed it so much! could you imagine that, after 2 days I already wrecked our baby (lol) anyways, I promised myself I'll take good care of it next time. coz seriously I'm a careful driver, it's just that the more I was more careful going down the ramp at the parking lot hospital suddenly a huge toyota tundra came up and a few other SUV's and I think I freaked out that's when I heard a loud BAM on my right side and the scraping sound was just sooo bad! I forgot to share the pics the last time.





I can't wait to get the van back, coz the toyota echo we have is just plain small! I hate it, you can't fit a lot of stuff in it. we went sight seeing yesterday, we went around the island, started around 9:00 am and about 2:00 pm we went to see Bridge to Terabithia, it was such a nice movie. very sad one. I held back my tears at the ending (don't ask me why) =) here's a picture of me, Jon and Nate. other pictures you can view at my Multiply.



I didn't get a chance to make an LO! I promise next time I am definitely making one or two. I am renovating my family homepage at last as well as my pixel site, it's almost done, here's a peek on my family homepage:



well, I guess I'll be seeing you guys in a few days. will be visiting friends a lil later, I am off to work now. mahalo!

NOTE: I am currently uploading the pictures to my multiply, if you can't see the album yet pls. check back later. =)
