BUZZYYY!

Oh how I miss blogging! I am so so so busy this past few days and expecting to be more busy this coming days. Perhaps the whole month of June. Whuaaah! After office naman, I do not have enough energy to blog. I miss petiks days. Hehehe.

It's a small world yesterday!

Yesterday was really a small world.

Our one and only photo na complete kmi.

Got emails from my closests friends at SMITS (Di, Elaine & Ayie) yesterday . . . sending their birthday and anniversary greetings. I was soo touched that they didn't fail to greet me though I am miles and miles apart from them. Huhuhu. Miss you angels!

I was surprised that Elaine (who just recently migrated to US from Sing) & Di (Chino Hills) happend to be at the same project. At eto pa their office is near Ayie's place (Sn Francisco). Sa dami ng projects at sa laki ng US it so happend na nagkasama-sama sila after 4 years. This wasn't planned . . . it just happend. Good for them, ako na lng daw ang kulang. Huhuhu.

Another small world incident . . .

My cyber friend Mari happend to be the wife of my SIL's (Ate Hazel) officemate Gwen. Ate Hazel and I normally exchange stories, I just can't remember how we found out that we both knew Gwen and Mari. Nakakatuwa. Ang liit tlga ng mundo . . .

After VL

Damn! I am soo busy the whole day. After 3 days of VL - tons of work welcomed me at the office. Hmp.

Though busy, happy pa rin. My users missed me. Though some problems were encountered during my VL they tried not to call me. Love tlaga nila ako. Hehehe. One more thing that makes me happy and so touched, I received 2 boxes of Krispy Kreme from my Mareng Irene as a bday gift. Super thanks mare!

I'll try to update our blog tom at lunch break. Can't wait to tell our 1st year anniv/bday story.

May 27 @ “I dare”

I am so excited on our forthcoming 1st year anniversary and my birthday of course! Mwhihi. We’ll be having an overnight stay at “The Boutique Bed & Breakfast” in Tagaytay. I have been craving for this place since it was featured at Boy and Kris. This is it and this is the best time for it. Yahoo!

We just made our reservation and we will be staying at the “I dare” room. Thanks and love you sooo much Babi (kapampangan term for pig - our term of endearment. har! har!) for giving in, though it’s a bit pricey. Hehehe.

We really wanted to have a real out of town trip or out of the country anniversary celebration, but because I am trying to conceive we can’t plan. Maselan kasi ako magbuntis eh. Maybe next year or after having a baby dun na lng kmi mag out of the country.

So when we learned that I wasn’t after the second test (May 22) we started searching where to stay. After reading several good reviews about “The Boutique” we decided to stay there.

Watchout for our "The Boutique" experience. Promise I'll be posting lots of pics.

Happy weekend everybody!

10 Random Things About Me

I am tagged by Sheryll

4. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

Here it goes ...

1. I do not have the song and dance talent :-( Never joined dance contests at school and never hold the mic at ktv gimmicks. Takot ako sa failing score. Hahaha.
2. I so much love cooking but not baking. I never perfectly baked any muffins or cookies . . . what more cakes?
3. I like doing DIY art related stuff. Invitations, cards, etc . . . awarded best in arts when Iwas in grade 4 and joined several poster making contests. Bwahaha.
4. I can make/sew my own clothes (pants, slacks, shorts, blouses, dress but not shirts) & linens (blanket, bed sheets, pillow cases and curtains)
5. I am OC and very keen into details. Aminado ako, tanggap ko at pinaninindigan ko na rin. .
6. I love blogging but I cannot write a very good composition, but I can write legibly (cursive, printed or khit lettering pa . . . ano connect? Hahaha!)
7. I cannot lie in bed and watch tv the whole day. I always want to be productive. Bakit tulog lng daw ang panhinga ko sabi ni hubby.
8. Table tennis is the only sports that I can play and excelled in. Ehem, I was once a table tennis Pampanga team player.
9. I hate unplanned things. I make sure things are always planned with Option A & B.

Let me know if you are done so I can know you a little bit more.

Dart Set

Hubby is a dart player way back his college days, kung saan-saang sulok ng Pilipinas sya napadpad because of dart tournaments / leagues. He was even awarded daw as MVP, 3 times. Hmmm . . . I wonder gaano tlga sya kagaling mag darts. I don’t actually watch him play khit sa anong games nya – darts, basketball, billiards or bowling (hindi naman sports minded si hubby…hehehe). It’s not that I don’t support him – ayaw nya lng tlga ako manood because lalo lang daw sya naprepressure. Hehehe.

Hubby has been longing to buy a dart set noon pa, dahil “gutay gutay” na tlga dart set nya – over used na tlga. Due to super daming gastusin he sets aside buying this stuff. He does his practice at his friend’s place whenever he is invited to tournaments. Sometimes he wins, sometimes not dahil daw kulang sya sa practice tlga. So I thought of buying him as a 1st year anniversary gift.

After office last Friday (May 16) I strolled at the mall while waiting for the rain to subside. To my surprise it was mall wide sale. I hurriedly checked the sports stores good thing that the dart board and pins are 10% off. I consulted Dave (his best buddy) first on what brand and what kind of pins and weight na dpat kong bilhin. Though I find it a bit pricey (o kuripot lng tlga ako), binili ko pa rin dahil for sure hubby will love it.

As I reached home, I left the dart board sa guard dahil hindi ko na kayang iakyat pa sa unit nmin dahil mabigat. Then asked the guard to hand it to hubby pagdating nya. Ung pins na lng ang ni-wrap ko so khit paano may sense of surprise pa rin. I didn’t wait na for our anniversary to come binigay ko na kaagad ung gift ko para magamit na kaagad.

He was soooo happy having a new dart set. He never expected daw na bibigyan ko sya ng ganun. He really liked the present specially the tungsten pins-pangarap daw nya un. Kung sya daw ang bibili para sa sarili nya – ung steel lng daw. If I only knew, un na rin lng binili ko, para nkatipid. Joke. Hehehe.

Though it was already late night, nilaro pa rin nya khit dpa naset set-up. Kala mo batang excited sa laruan. Then he woke up early to set up the dartboard sa wall.

Sana sa next tournament na salihan mo manalo kna. Sana manalo ka ng 1M. Balato ha. Hehehe.

Negative (-)

It’s the 34th day after my last menstrual period (counting one from first day). So, hubby and I decided to take preg test since I am days delayed. Can’t actually say how many days delayed since my cycle count plays at 28 days to 31 days.

Sad to say, the result was negative – again. :-(

Still, our fingers are crossed hoping that the test was false negative.

A positive result would be the greatest birthday gift ever, khit wala ng sewing machine ok lng.

DIY Curtains!

Yey! My DIY curtains are finally hanged.

Almost every lunch break I find time to pass by the department store of Robinson’s Galleria (our office bldg is connected at the mall) to check the displayed curtains. Not to purchase, but to inspect how they were actually made. (Copycat! Hahaha!) They are sooo expensive though 50% off pa sya from P1.5k to P750 per panel. I won’t buy such stuff were I know I can make one. Hehehe. The kuripot in me. So these became my inspiration.

Living Area

Room curtain

Table cover from the excess cloth

My DIY are not as good as those in mall. Pero pwede na for a starter and I am still proud of my work (patronize your own. haha!). And take note they are a lot lot lot cheaper. I was even able to make a table cover from the excess cloth. Best buy tlga ng raw materials sa Divi. Hehehe.

Thanks to hubby for setting up the curtain rods and mom for lending me her sewing machine.

Can’t wait to have my own sewing machine! Hubby promised that I’d be having my own on my birthday as a present. Yiheeee!
