Vote for me!

This is what I get for not going online as much as I usually do for the last few days...Sigh, was clueless that the voting already started LOL!

ONE DAY LEFT FOR THOSE WHO LOVE ME TO VOTE FOR MY LAYOUT!!!!!

Don't be shy :) Click that link above, voting is at the sidebar! Mine is listed together with three other digital layouts (One is by a fellow Bebot Diane whose LO is amazing (others think so too, because by now, she's leading by a mile LOL! Hi Diane!). If you need reminding this is how my entry looks like:

And remember, vote for me IF AND ONLY IF you think I deserve your vote hehe. No pressure really! It's enough that I got posted in another blog *wink*

My kind of Bathroom

...is something like this:

image from lightingshowplace

When we build our own house, the bathroom (and the kitchen, too) will be non-negotiable. It has to be my taste. It has to be a place where we can relax (you know the feeling that you want to stay there and probably sleep too? LOL!). It will be a home within a home. Am i making sense at all? Just look at the image above. So homey! Even the bathroom lights complement the rest of the room's elements. Perfect! It's good that I get to blog about this so I have something to look back to when we actually build our home in the future. :)

Friendship Contract

This was shared to me by Buchay, thanks! So sorry, I haven't been hoppin' around (therefore, I dunno yet who's done with this) but I consider everyone who comes by this blog my virtual friend. Feel free to snag! :)

After serious and cautious consideration…your contract of friendship has been renewed for the New Year 2008! It was a very hard decision to make. So try not to screw it up!!!

My Wish for You in 2008

May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts. May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet of $100 bills. May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips! May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires! May happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy. May the problems you had forget your home address! In simple words …May 2008 be the best year of your life!

Huwwwwaaaatttt?!?!

Where did time go? January is near it's end. I can't believe it's already the 25th and the first month of 2008 is almost over. Our 6th Hunnyversary is coming up and then Valentine's. I wonder what Hubby is planning to give me? I wish I can sense the DSLR coming, but I doubt it, LOL! In all honesty, I just wanna go somewhere and celebrate away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We found this very nice B&B in Tagaytay, so we might check that out. As for my gift to him, I saw these new pocket watches, aren't they nice? Do you think he will like it?

I was away from the internet for a few days and I'm not gonna explain (as if it matters, LOL!) but I will get back to share our date night last Monday. Yep, Hubby treated me to a (not-so) romantic dinner when we realized we had no one to play with that night. For now, there is a meeting I should be attending so bye for now :)

Butterflies

Get up from bed...
Right on time...
Feel the butterflies,
Weird.
Eat some breakfast...
A bowl of rice porridge.
Arrive just on time...
Run.
Walk.
Brisk walk.
Run.
Walk.
Brisk walk.
Run.
Brisk walk.
Walk.
Walk.
Butterflies again.
Continue walking.
Cold sweat on the temples.
Keep on walking.
Stop.
Suddenly Stop.
Run.
To the toilet.
Puke.



Altogether now....



Eeewwwwwwwwwwwwww.


Mwehehehehe. :)

Oi oi oi :)

In case you haven't seen 'em, I finished two layouts last week and I posted them in my other blog. Check 'em out here and here. TFL! :)

Starting him young :)

My brother in-law is such a golf fanatic (and so is his dad). So it is just normal that his son, my nephew J, is learning the sport at an early age. My sister supports this hobby too. This picture was taken at Pebble Beach in Monterey where Tiger Woods used to play golf.


Last I heard, the kid already has his own golf clubs (I'll have to ask if they're Nike golf clubs because I've seen a set like this on the net, and they're impressive, looking so nice and neat) set given to him by his grandpa. And this early, his swing is above average for his age.


Move over, Tiger! :)

What's in the bag?

Guess what? Guess what? Guess what's in the bag? ( no it's not a contest! I just cannot contain myself!) LOL!

The bag has a box, a black box!

And in it is another bag (envelope type), now in brown. What's inside?!?!

Yay! It's THE Album! I was worried it might not turn into what I expected but I am quite impressed with it (this is my blog so I can say that! LOL!). The rest of the shots (some are blurry) are here. Thanks for looking! :)

Here to bore you...

Can't think of another title! Creative juices are minimal! :)

Anyway, am currently home and will pick li'l bro later from his Grad song practice. So am bloggin' away while we wait for his call (Ane is snoring at the moment LOL!) . Last Saturday, I said I was gonna play but deciding to go at past 8pm wasn't a good idea after all because by then I wouldn't be getting my money's worth. Good thing the E's decided to go and watch Alvin and the Chipmunks, instead, at the Promenade. Here's my short review of the movie and a little bit of spoiler, hehe.

After the movie, we ended up in NP Kopi Tiam again because: 1) Mami C and Papi M wasn't with us the last time we were there, 2) they're open till 2am on Saturdays (technically Sundays), and 3) The place is so cozy we might be staying here on Saturday nights until we grow tired of the place, heheh. I didn't have coffee that night, thinking that I slept the whole day, and I don't need something to keep me awake. Ane and I shared Binondo Mami again (I just had the soup and the Siomai...don't really like noodles in general). And then MEG shared some of her Japanese Cheese Cake that looks and tastes ordinary but I find myself wanting to buy some today ;)

On Sunday, I woke up to my Mom's call. She asked me to pick her up from the Annapolis parlor and bring her to Bulacan. Argh. I had little or no choice but to oblige. But we (Mom, Brothers, Ane and I) had a nice lunch (believe me!) at Casa Reyes in Connecticut...we had a pleasant chat, too. I sooo love their boneless chicken barbeque and their java sauce goes very well with the meat. I also tasted their Fresh Lumpiang Ubod and it's really nice too. We didn't order much (as we were in hurry) but our simple feast proved to be enough for our tummies. Can't wait to taste their BBQ again! Oh we also ordered some Turon ala Mode, but it's just ordinary.

That's about it. We just went to mass in the afternoon (I even forgot to bring the Sto. Nino my goddaughter gave me, sayang, it could have been blessed) and then had my pedicure before going home. :)

Unit owners...soon.

The unit's gonna be turned over real soon. Technically, it's not ours but there's a long story behind it I'd rather not discuss here. Bank transactions are in order and they're already corresponding with the developer. We will schedule an inspection and we'll see how it goes. We don't plan to actually live in it...we decided to rent it out. I'm giddy with excitement, though (the way I felt when we we're filling in our home, LOL!).

We plan to semi-furnish it, to up it's value in the market. A shower heater is non-negotiable as it is what we personally want in all our bathrooms! We're thinking of putting a gas range and a dishwasher, too. The first two fixtures would be easy-peasy to decide on, as they are regular/normal fixtures. As for the last one, I think there is a need to read a dishwasher review to check our options. Dishwashers aren't common here (at least for us!) as these consume extra electricity (means more expenses!).

I'll share with you what happens and when we are all done. Yay!
