happy Tuesday

Yay, it's blogging time once again. how's everyone doing? for us here we're doin' fine, it's just one heck of a day, if you ask me. seriously now, It was a great day for us since I was off, can you believe this is my only day off after working 7 days straight? yeah. bummer. I'm off to work again tomorrow, blehh.. but I only work 12 to 6:30 since the store is doing inventory, so yay for that.

all we did today was watch Smallville, yes oh yes we're Smallville fanatics hubby finally completed his Smallville dvd collection, I can't believe that the season 6 costs around $54, but that's ok, it was worth it anyway. glad Walmart had the rest of the seasons for $19.99 each, isn't that great?? love it! I know some of you don't like smallville, but what can we do, right? Everybody has their own taste of tv shows. It's just so fun to watch, the whole family's hooked on it! Can't wait for season 7 dvd to come out since we don't have CW on tv.

anyhoo, as promised here are some pics...

Notice our skin being tan? We visited Hawaiian waters last April 7 and it was so much fun, I tell ya! after that day my body just ached so bad, but I loved it so much. When they left a few days later I dropped about 5 lbs. not bad, I didn't need to starve myself. notice me being so chubby in the pics? terrible! (sniff) so far I dropped a total of 13 lbs. wish me luck that I can lose more. =D yesterday while shopping I was wearing a denim skirt my hubby noticed that I was kinda losing weight, I guess you can't really see it now since 13 lbs. is way too little.. but of course I'll just post a pic of a before and after pic when I lose a lot. (sighh)

and oh, I'd like to extend my congrats to Scart for giving birth to a healthy cute and adorable baby girl, here's to you (cheers) Welcome Freya Ysabel! and to Valerie for having another adorable niece in her family. =D but wait, Monica also just gave birth to a healthy baby girl, Mikaela! welcome to the world, babies!

hmm...I wonder who's next???

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM!

Happy birthday, mom! hope you enjoy your lovely day. we're just gonna treat her with pancit and cake, and some Ice cream of course. and maybe catch a movie at the dollar movie downtown. nothing much today, just wanna share some pics. click on it for bigger pictures. enjoy!

It's the view from our window, that's the Navy housing along Nimitz highway. from our window again. don't you just love the blue ocean? I'll post more pics in my Gallery soon.

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.
