Happy Father's Day!

Fathers' Day is a special day to honor not only our dads but those who've been a father figure to us. So, Happy Father's Day to my Papa and to the father of my baby boy.. This song is for the fathers! Love you both..

-xoxo-

Dont expect anything from him..

Should I give up or should I just keep chasing pavements 
Even if it leads nowhere?

This song is for you..

You came along, unexpectedly
I was doing fine in my little world
Oh baby please don't get me wrong
'Cause I'm not complaining
But you see, you got my mind spinning


Why can't it be
Why can't it be the two of us
Why can't we be lovers
Only friends
You came along
At the wrong place, at the wrong time
Or was it me


Baby I dream of you every minute
You're in my dreams
You're always in it
That's the only place I know
Where you could be mine
And I'm yours (Baby I'm yours)
Only till I wake up


Why can't it be
Why can't it be the two of us
Why can't we be lovers
Only friends
You came along
At the wrong place, (you came along) at the wrong time
Or was it me

You will never win this fight..

Minsan akala mo gusto ka rin niya,
pero nadadala ka lang pala sa tamis ng dila niya.
Mahirap tikisin ang nararamdaman
lalo na kung umaasa ka na sana ganun din siya sayo..
Wag ka nang umasa na magwawagi ka sa labang ito
kahit saang anggulo mo tingnan, talong talo ka
Sa tingin mo ba tama ito?
Tama bang pagtuunan mo siya ng pansin
habang nasasaktan ka..
Wag mong ipilit ang mga bagay na hindi dapat
Kahit anong gawin mo, hindi ka mananalo.
Mabuti pang tapusin na ang kahibangang ito habang maaga pa
Habang hindi ka pa tuluyang nahuhulog sa bitag niya..

A Message for MOM..

Every 2nd week of May, we are celebrating Mother's Day. We Filipinos are very much known as having close family ties. Today, since Mother's Day is on May 8, I am thinking what treat or gift should I give my mom. Well, I've listed at least 5 things to do on Mother's Day since I'm a mother as well.

First, I thought of giving her time to relax like giving her full-body massage or body spa. Since she's taking care of my little boy, I know that she's very tired making habol to him. You know how toddlers are so playful.

Next on my list is taking her to a restaurant of her choice. But mom doesn't eat too much so it's not a good idea if we go to a buffet restaurant. Lugi kame kasi konti lang siya kumaen! Hahaha.

Third is taking her to a movie. How I wish I could find a movie house na nagpapalabas ng mga lumang pelikula. I'm sure she would appreciate old movies than the latest ones.

Next is giving her a set of jewelries. Yun tipong 24k gold! Complete with earrings, necklace, bracelet. I know how women really love jewelries. Diba diba?

Finally, if ever, I have lots of money to spend, I will take her to a salon and have a make-over. Hahaha. I want her to look fresh and young pa rin kahit may edad na.

Kung mayaman lang ako, I would not settle for one, I will give her these.. Im sorry mom, isang hamak na call center agent lang ang anak mo. As always, alam kong hindi ka nanghihingi ng kung ano man. But as your daughter, I would like to give you everything you ask for kahit di mo hinihingi.

Message for MOM:

I'm so grateful having you as my mom. I'm not so expressive about my feelings though but I really love you. Thanks for everything you've done for me and my son. I love you so much.

BPI Direct Express Teller Savings

Eversince Zhyle was born, I was really planning to open a Savings Account for his future. 

 

However, I wasn't able to do so, first, wala akong time, second, walang natitira sa sweldo ko kasi maraming gastos. 

Until a friend of mine suggested a bank na maliit lang ang maintaining balance which is BPI. 

 

So I inquired online and the good thing is, pwedeng mag-apply thorugh their site. 

 

Nag-apply ako then I replied to their confirmation email 

 

They advised me to submit the requirements sa branch of convenience ko. 

 

Super bilis ng processing. 

 

Imagine, I applied online last Sunday then kinuha ko na yung Account Opening Kit nung Wednesday.

 

I also submitted the needed requirements like 

1) 2 valid Ids 

2) Proof of Billing and 

3) 1x1 photo ID. 

 

This account has P500 maintaining balance, which is hindi mabigat sa bulsa. 

 

Sa panahon ngayon, every cent counts. 

 

So for me, hindi practical ang P3000 maintaining balance. 

 

Madami na kasing pwedeng paggamitan ng amount na yun.P500 lang din ang required monthly hulog. 

 

So when my friend recommended this bank, nag-apply talaga ako. 

 

Now, I am happy kasi makakapag-save na ako para sa future ni baby boy. 

 

I'm also planning to get an Educational plan for him, kaso pinapa-aral ko pa yung kapatid ko. 

 

Siguro by next year, I would get him one. 

 

You can check their site for more info.

Maggie Wilson and Victor Consunji Prenup Video

Well, after ten years! Ngayon ko lang na-blog ang video na ito.. I know right! Hahaha.. When I first saw this video sa Youtube siyempre na-curious ako. Sabi ko parang sex video lang. Pero hindi pala.. Medyo sexy talaga yung mga scenes pero in a different way. 

Zhyle's first swimming experience!

In preparation for our family outing, since this would be the first swimming experience of my baby boy, I bought him the following:

Intex Life Vest para di siya malunod. Hahaha.. Nasa SM palang kame, nakasuot na kaagad sa kaniya yung life vest at humihiga siya. Tuwang tuwa ang loko. Palibahasa first time niyang nakakita ng ganitong bagay.. He really looked innocent and parang taga-bundok..

I also bought him swimming trunks! Actually, he wants spongebob daw kaso, super laki ng mga sizes, walang kasya sa kanya. And parang ayoko naman yung brief style, gusto ko yung parang shorts siya para comfy. We ended up having the tom and jerry since fave niya din yun. Super saya niya. He kept on saying, "tom and jerry tom and jerry"..

And since na-inggit siya sa kapitbahay namen, nagpabili din siya ng goggles. Whew.. Look how kids are maluho nowadays.. Well, wish granted. I bought him this goggle. And siyempre para matibay ulit, I chose Intex brand.. I also promised him na sa next payday, Ill buy him a new swimming pool. His old one is nabutas na.. Nanghihingi na ng kapalit. In fairness, tumagal din yun ng 1 year, pero ngayon, tuluyan ng nabutas. SM Cubao is having 50 - 70% off sa mga swimming pools so sana umabot pa sa next payday yung sale nila.

 

Then last Sunday, we had our family outing sa Femar Graden Resort and Hotel sa Antipolo City. The entrance is so affordable. P100 lang yung adult and P80 yung kids. Siyempre ang aking baby boy ay walang bayad. The cottage is P500 good for 15 pax. We enjoyed a lot. We arrived there at around 6am. I know right.. Super early diba! Haha.. I know, kahit nakakapagod eh super nag-enjoy ang aking baby boy. well, mukhang di naman siya napagod, ako ang napagod sa kaniya! My God! Sobrang sakit ng katawan ko.. Hahaha.. Well, no pain, no gain!

...ing

Through my malditang kapatid, nahilig ako sa mga korean movies..
I dont know why but the way they create the story, hindi mo mahuhulaan kung ano ang susunod na mangyayari.Its just like, unpredictable.. Minsan nga tragic pa yung ending eh. Yun tipong hindi nagkakatuluyan yung magka-loveteam.. Unlike sa mga teleserye natin, in the end, alam mong they will live happily ever after.. Parang fairytale lang.. right?
Anyways, na-curious lang ako sa title ng movie na ito.. ...ing.. hmm.. After I watched the movie, I conclude that maybe, yung meaning ng title is like.. DY...ing (dying) Kasi yung bidang babae dito ay may nakakamatay na sakit. Ayun.. super touching na story, very inspiring and siyempre nakaka inlove.. YUn nga lang eh tragic nga yung ending.. Namatay si Min-Ah, yung bidang babae, nung time na sobrang mahal na mahal na siya ni Young-jae. And napaka-supportive naman ng mother ni Min-Ah sa kanya. Dahil nga sa life-threatening disease niya, she spent her childhood in the hospital. She didn't make any friends. Ilag siya sa mga tao. Loner. Emo. Lahat na. Well, better watch the movie na lang para macurious din kayo..  

Min-ah is a high school student who has just been transferred from another school. She is quiet and keeps to herself as she has a deformed hand. She's spent most of her life in the hospital battling a life-threatening disease. She lives with her mother Mi-sook, who is widowed. Mother and daughter share a close and intimate relationship, and Mi-sook wishes for Min-ah to experience all aspects of life, including first love. Min-ah befriends Young-jae, the new neighbour downstairs, and starts to experience her first love. However, everything is short-lived as Min-ah finds out that she is dying...

Until my next movie review.. hahaha,. di talaga ako marunong mag-review ng movies.. Much better kung panuorin niyo nalang. See for yourself.. ayt??

Starbucks' Signatured Hot Choco: Tickles my taste buds

After shift, me and my girlfriends decided to bond in Starbucks to relax and unwind.  Since I usually order Frappucino, I decided to try their Signatured Hot Chocolate.. Hmm.. It tickled my tastebuds cause it's not your typical sweet hot choco drink. You can taste it's bitterness and it really relaxes me. Forget about the diet because of its astounding 600 calories in it.. Haha. I don't really care about my figure especially if I love what I'm taking. Life's so short, you have to take all of the awesome things you have in the world. Embrace them as if today's gonna be your last day.. *eye blinking* To top it all, I must say that Starbucks' Signatured Hot Choco is a must-try drink.

"Watashi wa anata ga totemo o ketsujō.."

Happy Heart's Day!

Happy Valentines! Better late than never.. Well, what's new? It's just an ordinary day for me. I dont know when was the last time he gave me flowers. 4 years ago? When I was young, I've been dreamin of a guy who will give me chocolates and flowers even if its just an ordinary day. But what happened with that dream? Well, maybe if your really love that person, you'll still accept him with all his flaws even he doesn't surprise you with anything. So aside from the drama, I've also prepared some facts about Valentine's Day.


    * Every year around 1 billion Valentine cards are sent across. After Christmas it's a single largest seasonal card-sending occasion.

   * The red rose was the favorite flower of Venus, the Roman goddess of love. The color red stands for strong romantic feelings making the red rose the flower of love.

   * The oldest surviving love poem till date is written in a clay tablet from the times of the Sumerians, inventors of writing, around 3500 B.C

   * The most beautiful and incredible gift of love is the monument Taj Mahal in India. Built by Mughal Emperor Shahjahan as a memorial to his wife it stands as the emblem of the eternal love story. Work on the Taj Mahal began in 1634 and continued for almost 22 years and required the labor of 20,000 workers from all over India and Central Asia.

   * Amongst the earliest Valentine's Day gifts were candies. The most common were chocolates in heart shaped boxes.

Hope you had the best Valentines day!
Cheers!

No Strings Attached

I got a chance to read this book. I'm also considering myself as a bookworm. I've read a lot of books already. Kaya siguro lumabo ng bonggang bongga ang vision ko.. *wink*  I found the story very romantic and realistic. A soon to be 30 - year old admin assistant fell in love with a young, athletic and very charming guy. Whew.. Since I got a kiddo at an early age, I'm realizing myself on Carla's shoes. I think, If I were Carla, of course I will follow my heart. I don't care whatever people might think because I am dating a a guy whose younger than me. I don't give a damn. If that's what makes me happy, if he is the one I've wanted for the rest of my life, then go for it. What would you do with a multi-millionaire, stable, banker guy if he cannot make you happy? Right?

So here’s the summary at the back of the book:

Carla is a whiz at her job: she’s efficient, reliable, and a total genius when it comes to putting something together at the last-minute. The snag is she’s single and turning the big three-oh in a few months. Her girl best friend (yes, she’s married just like the other girls in Carla’s barkada) keeps trying to set her up with stable banker-types, while her guy best friend (single – the other single one) encourages her to play the field – no strings attached. Then, through no set up or extraordinary circumstance, Carla meets Dante. Hot, smug, sexy Dante. Definitely not a banker-type and seemingly too good to be true. So there’s got to be a catch. There is. He’s five years younger. Is the universe telling Carla to finally let loose and enjoy a fling with a younger man? Or is there a lot more to this awkward situation that she bargained for?

Next book review.. My Imaginary Ex.. 

So how about you, have you read a book recently?

All about me..

I don't know how to describe myself. Well, Its not that I don't know who I am. Its more of a happy-go-lucky-but-sometimes-serious person. I experienced a lot and learning from it.

I am a family-oriented person. I can't last a day without seeing them, mama, papa, my bro and my sis. And as an eldest, I felt that I should be responsible enough to take care of my family and take care of my parents when they grow old. I studied hard so that mama and papa will be proud of me. I even worked harder to pass the entrance exam of a State University, para di mahirapan sila mama sa tuition, and thank God I passed it. I took up Bachelor of Science in Computer Science and graduated in 2009. But in the middle of my journey through college, I got pregnant. At first I was so scared, the fact that Im still studying but already bearing a child frightens me. It got 5 months before my mom knew it. Maybe it's mom's instinct and to think, monthers know best.. She was there through pain and all.

Until Zhyle was born on Sept 26. I experienced a lot of things at an early age. Do I regret it? Of course not. I was the one who made the mistake and I'm ready to face it -- that's the motivation I always say to myself. While breastfeeding, I go to work in the morning and go to school at night. And nothing else would compare the feeling of  embracing your child after a long tiring day. My kiddo is the best thing that ever happened to me. I never regret having him at an early age. He made me a strong woman. He even brings joy and happiness to my parents. He is my inspiration. He is me.

Me and my kiddo

And now, I would say that I passed that test God gave me. Did I pass it with flying colors? Maybe yes, maybe no. But I don't care. As long as my family is here, and my kid to inspire me.

I dont care what people say, I dont give a damn!

Frustrated Writer

When I was in High School, we used to have an Elective in Journalism. I was also one of the Feature writers in our school paper. I developed my skills in feature writing then. I used to write about love, about a person, about myself, about my mom and about my family. I expressed my feelings through writings so when I graduated, I thought of pursuing it by taking up Journalism. But, I want to be a nurse more than being a writer. Though I know that getting a degree in Nursing costs a lot. My frustration led me to the College of Computer Management and Information Technology department and there I found my self giving my application form and.. getting a degree in Computer Science.. Whew! So what happened with the Journalism degree?? Well, that's why it became my frustration.. Haha.. Do I make sense? That's me.. That's totally me..

So, I decided to be in blogosphere to fulfill this dream.. I wanna share my thoughts, my feelings, my dreams and my frustrations as well with you guys.. This is not my first time to blog. Its my second actually, its just that, I wasnt able to manage my first blog. Well, hopefully, this would really fulfill my dream..
