It's back...

My favorite ice cream is back in town. It's now in it's original brand name. I bought a 1.9L of Double Dutch ice cream last night. I was excited to taste it. So when I got home, I grab a cup and scooped some and upon tasting it, it was oh, so heavenly. Nothing beats the original and it comes with its cute reusable tub container. So you want some...

Wait and Find

The other day, a college friend emailed me. I noticed a familiar name in her thread. It was JH. A classmate in college and a bosom friend. It's been 10 year since I last saw JH. So I emailed her, said my hello and asked about being married with D (also a classmate), they got married when we were at 2nd Year College

The next day, she replied. According to her, she is okay and happy and has 2 kids. But she and Mr. D was separated for 4 years already.

From there my heart moved. I knew they were inseparable during our college days. They we're so sweet and for me they are a perfect couple. I envied them during our college years. Yup, I am also involve in a relationship, but not as serious as what they have. After a couple of months of my relationship with my BF, we broke up. I did have a couple of relationship after that. I broke up again, cried and found somebody else, that's how love plays with me. Some of my friends believed that I could handle the painful part of the relationship, the breaking up. But the truth is, I'm hurting and my heart is crying. That's why I envied JH and D so much. How come they found the real love. How come I cannot find the right person.

After graduation, I haven't got any news about this couple. I've still been into some unsuccessful relationship but finally found my great love when I was 28. Got married when I was 29. So up to this moment, I'm very much happy with him.

From this, I've learned that God know the right timing, He knows who is the best for you. Just wait...

Happy Weekend to all!

Numbers@Work...

7:55am...
8:01am...
8:05am...

wooohooo...I've been that early here at work for three days and I'm planning to make it a habit of being early at work.

1...2...
Yup it's 2. 2 cups of coffee a day is what I'm having from Monday to Friday. I have lessen my coffee intake since the first day of work this 2005 and I'm trying to trim it down to 1 cup until no coffee a day habit.

1...2...
2 servings. I tried trimming down my meat serving a week. 2 servings will do and have more veggies and fish dishes for lunch instead.

1/2...
My rice per meal. 1/2 serving of rice for lunch. This is kinda hard but since I want to trim the size of my belly, this is the thing I should do.

1...
An hour of jogging is what I've wanted to do eversince. After a week of office stuff, I do want to jog during the weekend but I haven't yet learned the art of waking up early during Saturdays or Sundays,he he he.

10...
10 Glasses of water that I often take everyday. I'm a water person. Though I still drink colas, I'm trying to avoid it. Cola's makes me feel bloated.

1...
One loaf of wheat bread is what I consume per week. Im a bread person and wheat bread with butter is my favorite,so I always have this yummy sandwhich in my bag when coming to work.

85...
85 Is the number of mp3s that I have im ny office computer. It takes about 4 days to listen to all of it.With my headpone, I listen to it ever now and then. Working while listening to music is relaxing for me

9...
9 is the number of hours I spend at work. 7.5 hours infront of my computer, an hour for lunch break, 15 minutes for coffee break and the remaining minutes is for going at the restrooms from 8am-6pm.

2004...
Nah it's not actually the year that Im referring. It's the version of the Autocad that I'm using here. I much like this version that the previous one. There's a 2005 version but I haven't tried it yet.

and ofcourse, I must not forget this number

1 or more...

1 or more is the number of times I called and/or text Dj when I'm at work. It's my habit of asking him if he had lunch or just say hello, or tell him that Im missing him while working.

I'm not good in calculations and math is my least favorite in class way back in college but at this point, mathematics is made easy,he he he.

Food Trip Tayo...

You know what I'm thinking right now...

Oh actually Im thinking and craving for donuts. I really wanted the clock to hit five o'clock so I can lead my steps at Araneta Center. There's a new branch of Go Nuts Donuts at Cubao.wooohooo. Meaning I can enjoy my favorite donuts in no time at all.
I'll buy 2 boxes, one box for us and the other one for my mom. I want to share the satisfaction this donut gives me.

~~~*~~~

Anyway, the other night, hubby texted me. He said that he will be home by 11pm and misses my stir-fry cabbage and tofu. Hmmm... I think he wants to tell indirectly that I should prepare that veggie for dinner. So as a very submissive wife that I am (nah, I'm sometimes bad) I dropped by at Robinson, to buy the ingredients needed for it. I really don't store veggies in our fridge because sometimes, I haven't got time to cook veggies and most of the time the veggies rotten in our fridge. What I do, I only buy them if I do plan to cook it within the day or the next day. Since he wanted it,I'll prepare it then. After having a quick trip at the grocery,I went home and prepared it.

Let me share you, this stir-fry veggie that hubby really loves.

All you need are...
Chopped Cabbage
Slightly fried tofu cut into cubes
1 tbsp. ginger
Crushed garlic
dissolved cornstarch in 1/4 cup water
3-4 tbsp. oyster sauce (depending on you taste)

So what I did, I just sauté the ginger till the smell of it comes out. Add the garlic. Then add the chopped cabbage. After a minute add the tofu then mix. Pour in the oyster sauce let it simmer then add the dissolved cornstarch, wait for another minute then serve hot. This is yummy.

Do enjoy your weekend!

Hubby, Me and 2004

2. My birthday falls on this month. Our first to celebrate it as a wed couple. Do you know what he gave me that time, a tv rack and a dresser. Shesh...I wasn't expecting his gift. I though he'll give me a bunch of roses, or ferrero chocolates or a funky shirt maybe. I was a little upset about my huge gifts but hubby said, the roses and chocolates will not vanish, I'll give you those during the least expected times.

6. I cheated hubby. oopsss...it's not what you think. I opened his gift for me when he was out for work. I opened it, a few days before Christmas then I wrapped it back again. Of course I used the same kind of wrapper so he won't have any idea that I opened his gift. And I was smiling when I opened it.

Well, this is how far I can remember 2004. I know there are lots of funny and happy moments that happened to us last year. At this time, this is all I can remember, by next year I know, I can't tell you more for I am having a written journal aside from this blog that I have.

How about you guys, can you still remember what 2004 gave you...

Not Again...

Sniff...sniff...

After the fever that I had last December (Christmas Eve to be exact), now I have this cold. Damn... it really gives me a headache. Have taken some aspirin but still, I sneeze so badly and oh my nose is getting so red. I'm having a hard time in eating. My appetite is somewhat loss. Since December, all I got was flu & muscle pains and now cough and colds. I badly need a rest and drink lots of water.

Oh okay, I'll better be going now and hopefully tomorrow, I'll feel much better

It's Husby's Day!

It’s the birthday of this wonderful guy that I’ve been sharing my married life for a year and a half. I wanted to give him something for his birthday but I cannot think of anything. I wanted to cook a great and intimate dinner in our place tonight but since I cannot skip work today, I asked my mom to cook a dish for his birthday. I know this guy that I married is a very simple guy who can be pleased by simple thoughts. So tonight, I’ll lit the candle on the cake that I’ll buy later. I’ll sing a birthday song. Whisper in his ears and tell him that I love him, love him more than before.

To you lovey, my ever loving husband, Happy Birthday and I love you very much

have a merry Little christmas

Three more days and it's Christmas. Im so excited can't wait for "D day." The only thing is, I'm not really feeling well today. Maybe it's the continuous practice for our dance number later tonight at our Christmas party. Every dept. are asked to perform, we been practicing since last week. Now Im suffering from muscle pains and some colds. Oh boy, I don’t want this muscle pain and colds interfere my Christmas Holiday. I’ve been waiting for this whole year round. I’ve taken some paracetamol and Ibuprofen to at least lessen this negative thing that I feel.

Anyway, let me leave you guys this favorite Christmas song of mine and I'm wishing all my blogger friends a Merry Christmas and A happy New Year. Wishing you more blessings in Life.

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

Have yourself a merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.

Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.

Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself A merry little Christmas now.

Last Saturday I attended the N@W Christmas party. I've been in this egroup for almost 2 years and it's my first time to attend the Naw Christmas Party. It was really a different experience. It was fun. I met the real people behind the names that I seen in each post that I read in our egroup. I never expected that I’d enjoy such party. There were parlor games for that kids, nanny and of course for the members. Dj came along with me so we join the parlor games as a couple. We didn’t win any game that we participated but we had yummy brownies from Alex Franco as a consolation prize. Aside from the games, I enjoy the exchange gift part. I received an acid free photo album from Leira (a nawie) and I love it very much, timely for my scrapbooking. The party ended at around 2:00pm

Last Monday, was Dj's Christmas party at Star City. Each employee was given 2 free ride-all-you can tickets. So, I skipped work (bad me, he he he) to join him. I've been there twice but not with husby so this time, I much enjoyed it, It was fun. I felt that I was a kid again enjoying the bump car ride, the balloon wheel (ferris wheel) and the breath taking zykloon loop (roller coaster). What an experience! I also did loved the tiange. With my 500 pesos, I had quality toys for my inaanak. I even bought a jelly made Nemo which lights up when pressed by hand. I put it in inside our car and oh the pillow soccer ball was kinda cute for only 90 pesos. I even had the dancing softdrink bottle for 100 pesos. It was definetely a fun filled experience with hubby.

Fernando Poe Jr. passed away yesterday. It was a sad news that affect the whole nation. I am not pro FPJ during the election but I admire the guy in his movies which really made him famous. Where ever he is right now may you rest in peace "the king"

A New life and A farewell...

My close friend, LP just called me a while ago. She's inviting me at her wedding this coming 22nd of the month. I was surprised, really I am. Know why, because she was once married (at the age of 20) twelve years ago. But she and her former husband separated after a couple of months of being married. She told me that everything is okay and things are settled between her and her ex. I may not know anything about the legal proceeding on this matter but I know her decision on getting married isn't right. But again, I don't want to interfere, it's her life, Im just here to give her a sisterly advice, if she's happy with her new found love I'm happy for her too.

Aside from the wedding event, another news shocked me, her younger sister, AP died of brain cancer last Aug. 26. What... Questions starts to tickle my mind. Why didn't LP told me when her sister died ,it's been months, AP was a close friend also. LP said that AP's death was unexpected that they didn't had the time to tell it to close friends. Only relatives was informed. I was sad because I wasn't able to say my last goodbye. I again asked her if it's the right time to get married, her family is in grief. It was her sister's request for them to get married before the year-ends. So that answers my questions.

Anyway, when I heard the news about AP's death, I was shocked. I thought that the chemo went out okay. I thought that she was a cancer survivor. But I was wrong, the chemo didn't helped her. Right now, tears are falling from my eyes. I know I cannot be with AP again and share some secrets about wifehood or just chat and enjoy laughing but my heart is happy for her because all her suffering from pain is over. To you AP wherever you are right now, I will always remember you as a sexy good friend and I will always cherish our joyful moments together.
