This and that…

I wake up so late this morning. And it’s really my first since I arrived here in Tokyo last week. It has been a drag this past days. I actually pinned this transformation in my blog from importing things up in blogger to here. And am really loving this new place. Wordpress,rocks! And you gotta believe me when I say that. :) Kinda homey for me. Clean looking and very easy to navigate. But all the blingin’ in the side bar is in the works as I am still not convince to pay for a blog.lol

Anyway, this week has been the most tiring, boring week I ever had in my entire existence,lol and that I have to admit that I miss my little man. I have been in such denial this week in my blog about him. Yep, I left him in Davao. Okey, slap me in the face:) Remember that he is in pre-school now? So, I can’t bring him along. I will only stay here for a month and will be seeing him again next month. I feel really bad about the idea just leaving him. Though he has 2 Nannys there. His grannies are there. My 2 brothers are there to look for him while I am away but I did promised him that I won’t leave him but oh well, enough of my drama. I have to do something here that its needed to be done. :) After this one, I will be off to the tropics again:) I call him everyday and everything are good in there except that I am not there to take care but I’m sure he will be alright.

As for my digiscrapping, I actually am a scrapping madwman this past few days..lol I scrap like everyday. And here are some of my works:) Credits: You can see in my galleries link in the side bar.


* He’s very tired after class.


* My little man and his Nanny,Ging. He loves this pool very much and I have tons of pics to scrap:)


* Mom and Dad celebrated their 29th Year Anniversary last July 9. This is for them:)


* My teenage sister. I always admire her. This was taken last December 2005. And I have to scrap this photo. Haven’t posted this in galleries yet. Maybe later.

Okey now, I have to take a shower as hubby and I will be off for dinner in this Thai resto:) And oh,I just finished jogging in the park!

Enjoy the weekend,peeps!

Finally..

..I made it here! I have been trying to make a new and clean look of my blog in blogger but it sucks! lol I keep having ERROR and if I want to post pics, it won’t upload correctly or bunch of rants about how blogger is..So, decided to set foot Wordpress and really loving it! I can’t change the color or put any blinkies or whatever girly girl thing in the side bar since I am not paying yet maybe later. This is just a free blog am using but I really love what I got here..It’s so easy to navigate the whole thing. All you have to do is add link and on and on..:) So, if you see this one already, this is my new home in the web and will not be updating my blogspot account and might be deleting old post in there..

Anyway, its so nice to be here..I’m not finished updating my blogroll and my categories but hopefully it will be up in no time! Besides, I don’t have much in my hands now:)

Ciao bellas!

Our Weekend

Funny thing is that until now(we are on our almost 6 years married life), I still think my hubby as my boyfriend! LOL Seriously, Am I the only one here? I hope, not..haha

Last Saturday, we went to this mall(OLINAS) near at our apartment and thought of having a good meal. I miss this Italian resto for the past weeks,Ottemo and was hoping to have a good dinner but since it was full. We stroll over at the 4th floor as hubby told me there’s a few nice restaurant there. The first thing went in my mind was to just watch a movie afterwards. Since, we haven’t watch Jonny Depp’s Pirates sequel. I asked him if he wanted to watch after dinner. I haven’t finished the line yet and he said, of course! lol We had dinner somewhere in the 4th floor. Just another nice Japanese Foods. And we bought tickets for 11:45pm show! Since we still have 3 hours to wait, we went back in the apartment and watch another old movie by John Travolta, Staying Alive! It’s the sequel of his first dancing movie? lol He dance really good..Just nothing to do…Anyway, After watching Pirates, I was soo sleepy..hehe. Got home past 3am. Commentaries on the movie we watched? Hmm..I LOVE Johnny Depp and he’s my all time fave actor so, I feel inlove with the dorky, funny and mysterious role he got there as always. And the movie is worth watching! I can’t wait for the 3rd sequel though! :)

Stayed in the house the whole morning by Sunday. But we jog by the afternoon for an hour. It’s our new routine now. We have to exercise to lessen some bad cholesterol. Hubby’s really getting bigger and we want to help each other loss some unwanted fats..hehe And we are determined to really loss weights. There’s no EXCUSE! I really hope this will works..Anywhow, after having a shower, we went out for dinner. We had a Thai Foods, YUMMY! Not too heavy because we’re also on diet:)
Okey, this will be all for now..Have a new and wonderful week peps…Btw, I love this fab new song, “This Love by Maroon 5″! Isn’t it COOL? I love it and I’m listening right now :) Ciao, chickies!

Taken last June 2006-Father’s Day.

Oh my gosh, I can’t imagine I was away with this bloggy for over a month! But glad I’m back and that everything went well while we were away. I have so much to talk about. And there has been a lot of changes since I was away. It would be tiring to tell and post it here, the past things that happened for a month. But I will try to recap since I love to update my friends who always sent me personal emails. I love you ladies and you know who you are:) So here’s a recap of my most important things that happened..:)

A month ago, we went home to Philippines! I’d say, it was worth it! We were having fun. Like fun, sun and sea..You can picture that:) Though, hubby went back after a week to work. When we arrived in Manila, we stayed in Shangri-la Hotel Makati! It’s so nice to go back in there. I really love this hotel and its worth it! We had a day strolling over Glorrietta and Greenhills.Not enough time and tiring but no choice. I shopped a little. Bought gifts and my important things. I also got a new Motorola Razor Slim Flip phone which I love. I also bought a phone for Al. Very cute which is necessary since he said he is a big boy now,lol. His Nanny is keeping it of course.

Al’s Birthday was well spent. I will have some pictures here to share next time:) My siblings came to visit us.Which was wonderful. Hubby’s cousins from US was here also. I didn’t expect to see them since their vacation was supposed to be this coming Christmas but it was great to see them again!

We celebrated Al’s birthday in our house. A very simple celebration. I didn’t go for the Pool Party since its raining most of the time as June in Philippines is rainy. Alas, I followed my gut feeling and never checked the forecast as its not that good in predicting weather since that day was really raining. We didn’t got to have a lot of kids,yeah..believe me, my brother had a hard time looking for kids..But oh well, I only had 4 kids with..:( But the most important thing is that, my siblings was here to celebrate with us. Hubby’s parents as well and me and his Daddy. We had quite a lot of fun afterall! And that’s all that matters!

2nd day birthday celebration was spent in the beach! Oh yes,it was in time for Fathers Day so, it was very special day for all of us! We went to Paradise Island.A white Beach around 15 minutes by boat from the main land in Davao City. We had so much fun! Al was so excited to be in the beach again! We played billiards..gosh, how I missed playing with my brothers:) I had a little scratch in my knee as we played volleyball!

And after we had lunch that day, I gave my Father’s Day gift to hubby. It’s a Marcs and Spencer Shirt. And of course with lots of hugs and kisses:) I gave an Oakley Sunglass to my Dad since he’s been talking about it since last year:) And a Lacoste polo shirt to my FIL. I was happy that they all love what they got! I got some nice pics and had been making layouts since last week. It’s so nice to be back home.

So we had a great time, after that it’s the time to focus some important matters like, Al going to pre-school!Yep, Al is officially enrolled and is already going to school everyday now. His class is 1pm to 4pm everyday.I send him off and fetch him in school. Which is very exciting! The first day was UNEXPLAINABLE! If you already experience this then I’m sure you can understand me. lol I was so proud with my little man. Other kids were still crying and even we were kinda late because the school already started like a week earlier but Al proves to be such an independent young man. He didn’t cry. I was the one crying.YES! He was the one hugging me and told me that he will see me after class. It’s not just he’s my son, but his teacher told me so that Al is very attentive and at his first day, he got a STAR! Yay..I’m so proud of him. I haven’t had problem with separation anxiety thing for him but only for me. I cried 2 days before sending him to school.lol because I was worried of him. LOL Hubby was laughing at me. I can’t believe, I have a 4 yrs old son now. I’m so excited for him. With that being said, I am making him a Diary of his first year in schooling. I’m sure I can’t keep up with it everyday but the most important things, I will try my best. It’s already a month since he started school and so far, everything are just wonderful. He learned a lot. Like, he can identify colors perfectly not that he don’t know the colors before but there is really an improvement. He can communicate well now. And I’m just a proud Mom!

Alot of changes happened to us aside from the schooling of Al but I don’t want to bore you with all those talks..lol Instead, let’s talk about my digiscrapping..hehe

How’s me in my Digiscrapping? Before I went away, I think I had like 12 Creative Teams. I was so thankful for all the wonderful ladies who trusted me to make a layouts with their fabulous designs. When I started, I never imagined in my wildest dreams to be accepted in any teams. I only started like almost 6 months now and being on 12 teams before, I am forever humbled. I was so thankful for all the designers I had the chance to work with. And that being said, I resigned 6 of them. I really can’t keep up. I was away too long and I had a hard time going back with all the things I have to do. Since I have a pre-school now, I have some limitations for myself and a lot of things to do aside from this one. Though, you can still see me in boards and comments and everything but not like before like I am scrapping like a mad woman..lol So now, I only have 6 left. Plus another one that I was just accepted which is Robin Carlton’s SweetNSassy CTeam! It was just a spur of the moment. I was trying to get off loads of to do’s but I just couldn’t resist as I love her very much {Imagine to be working with the Ultimate digital Scrapper,lol} and tried but never imagined to be accepted since of course, there will be too many applicants and yes, we were 80 and I was accepted! So now, I am full and this will be the last! Hopefully:) Btw, thanks Robin for believing with me:)

Hmm..I can talk forever but I think I will just have to continue updating next time. For all the lovely ladies who loves me..LOL Thank You!

Ciao for now! :)
