Hello everyone! Ang saya saya at ang successful ng 1st ever PBP Bazaar kahapon. Straight from shift kami ni Marseng Joanne, pa freshen up pa kami, ako nag shower pa sa office. Pag dating sa venue at after mag ayos ayos at mag setup, aba parang nabalewala ang pag papa-fresh namin. Pero okay lang, bukod sa it's for a good cause, fresh naman kami naturally ni Marseng Joanne #umangalmasasaktan.

First sa venue kami nina Marseng Joanne and Empi, next sina Senyor and Juicy Jay. Next sina Josh, Mar and Lori with Joel and pretty Sophie. At sumunod na ang iba :) May ganyan talaga para malaman na kami ang una, baka may premyo ang early bird e, hahaha :)

Set up agad sa venue, again, ang Pasig Capitol Community Church :)

Ang daming books! :)

..and toys (pwedeng endorser si cute Sophie)..

..and clothes!

Finally got to meet some bloggers for the first time - una, si Cheenee na super cute. Charming Cheenee dapat ang pangalan nya, super charming kasi. At ang dimples ni Charming Cheenee, ayaw paawat. Tinalo pa ang lubak sa lalim :) Thanks for the support Charming Cheenee :) Paulit ulit ako sa Charming Cheene ano? Lol!

Na meet ko na din at last ang very celebrity ang peg na si Miss Balut! Super thank you for dropping by and bringing so much stuff for the bazaar. Thank you too for your super sweet gift. I love it a lot! Nice na naka pag chikahan tayo kahit sandali lang about you being prone sa mga maniac. Sa sexy mo ba naman, di naman surprising hehe :) Again, super nice to meet you and thank you for supporting PBO! :)

Also, I got to meet Juicy Jay! Buti na lang hindi english speaking in person si Juicy Daddy Jay kundi baka nag nose bleed ako. Dahil sa nag tatagalog sya in person, naka usap ko naman sya, at super nice sya in person. Very warm and cheerful :) Thanks Daddy Jay for your support sa PBO :)

Special thanks kay Pastor for letting us have the bazaar at their church! At bumili si Pastor ng books, again super thank you Pastor! :)

Most of the people who bought stuff form the bazaar are people who attended the service at church. Gaya nitong si pretty Ate sa baba, na na-hard sell ni Nutty :)

Mukha bang emotional si King Arvin dito sa pic with his kambal Empi? Kasi naman babalik na sya sa New Caledonia later that day. Pero okay lang yan, we'll see each other again soon! :)

Come hapon, nilabas na namin sa harap ng church ang table. Mas dumami na ang buyers namin na passerby, at mga kuyang tricycle driver na BARATODA yata ang pangalan ng toda nila, grabe mang barat e haha :)

Humabol nga pala si Axl with a lot of clothes na dagdag sa mga nabenta namin :) Thanks Axl! :)

Kami nina Empi and Marseng Joanne. Haggard na sa antok pero.. pero.. zzzzzzzz!

Humabol din ang ating treasurer, si pretty Arline! Ang kapal lang ng suot nya, hindi kita ang pusod #kabaliktaranlang :)

Some more pics - boy and girls next door :)

Nag papatuyo ng sampay sina Nutty and King Avrin :)

Rubadubango amoy araw scent na kami ni Marse :)

Sitting pretty sina Empi, Josh and Meow :)

Ang liit liit ni Senyor! Petite much!

After sometime, nag decide kami na pack up na. A huge thank you to Nutty for bringing home the left over goods. Pwede pang mag 2nd bazaar! :)

Group pic muna bago mag uwian! :)

Humabol din si Rix! Bumili sya ng cupcakes ni Arline na super hinard sell ni Josh :)

At after ng group pic bago mag uwian, kainan bago mag uwian naman. Had a quick dinner at KFC :)

Back to New Caledonia na si King Arvin later that day! Thanks for spending time with us, sa Siargao trip at sa bazaar. Wag ka gaano malungkot kasi may blogger, FB, Twitter at kung ano ano pa naman, and we'll see each other again soon :)

Went home dead tired after! I was awake for more than 24 hours so you can imagine how sick I was feeling. It was nice though, being tired but knowing it was all for a good cause :)

Here are the stuff I bought from the bazaar nga pala. I bought a set of Stephen King books at Php150 only, The Undomesticated Goddess by Sophie Kinsella, a wallet (not in the pic) and a Toy Story toy - ang mga cute alien na nag sabi ng "The Clawwwww!" Cute!

Miss Balut btw, gave me a sweet present, a frame - perfect for the wall thing I finished today (kita may nalagay na akong picture) It has shells too which I added to my shell collection. Best of all, the present came with a sweet note / picture of Balut. Thanks again, super love this present :)

And that is our successful 1ST PBO Bazaar For A Cause! As our sexytary Joanne tallied, we earned : Php9,210 ++coins! Yahoo! Again, a huge thank you to everyone na nag support, nag volunteer at lalo na ang mga nag donate for the bazaar. All the earnings will be funds for our next outreach project. Hope we get to see you all and we still have your support on our next project :)

Sabi ko nga sa FB, I am super proud to be the current president of such a great group such as PBO! Super duper proud! Extreme level! Ka level ko ata ang saya ni Jennifer Lawrence sa pagiging Best Actress! Woot!

Ayan. tama na, nababaliw na ako :) Thank you again everyone, much love as always! :)

Sino ba namang may ayaw ng weekends?! A baka yung may mga pasok ng weekends! :)

Anyways, ang saya saya ng weekends ko. Syempre weekends ang aming date days ni Tikboy. Pag Sabado, we meet then go out for lunch or dinner. This week, we tried the seafood buffet at La Travieza, a seafood restaurant here in Antipolo. Guess what watawat! Php 199 lang ang buffet! :)

O sabi ko sa inyo e! :)

Pag dating ko sa La Travieza, nasa loob na si Tikboy, aba excited! Haha! Anyways, there are quite a selection of viands, mostly seafood. Nagulat nga ako may pork roast kahit seafood buffet. Baka laking dagat si porky :)

Ito lang ang mga nakunan kong okay, yung iba blurred, nanginginig kasi ako sa excitement haha :)

Tuna Sisig

Seafood Paella

Tahong and Clam Chowder

Curried Crabs

At eto ang aking plate! Naka 2 plate lang ako kasi fit pala nasuot kong shirt. Natatas-tas na ang tahi sa laki ng tyan ko :)

Si Patootie Tikboy 2 plates lang din :)

Anyways, bukod sa meals, may unli gulaman pa (na sobrang sarap kulang na lang strawhin ko mula sa bowl) at desserts! Ang desserts, ang daming pagpipilian! May gelatin na pink, may gelatin na dilaw, may gelatin na green! Hahaha ang daming gelatin. Buti may winner na maja blanca, in case ayaw nyo mapurga sa gelatin :)

Tapos namin kumain ay change venue na kami. Pumunta kami sa bahay namin to watch World War Z. Ang ride nga pala namin sa mga lakad namin ay si Red - ang official ride of the Patooties :)

After ng movie, change venue ulit! Punta naman kami kina Tikboy for a sleep over. Pero may surprise sya sa akin, pumunta muna kami sa Mahabang Parang. Parang ano? Ewan ko ba, basta mahaba tapos parang, so alam nyo na haha :) Nakwento ko kasi sa kanyang gusto ko makadaan doon - thanks for taking me there Pats! :*

It was a fun ride! Lovely skies ahead! :)

Like we do on Saturdays, we go to Tikboy's home. Kagabi sinalubong kami ng slight pagbabaha sa kanilang sala - nag tubig pala ang ref na dinefrost. Kaya nag punas punas at linis linis kami. At syempre count on me to make something nice out of a mess - ginamit ko ang yelo mula sa freezer to make this! Cute no! :)

Bukod sa baha, sinalubong din pala kami ng pets nina Tikboy, ang mga cats..

..and the orangutans!

We then watch tv - our favorite show on Saturday Nights - The Voiiiiccccccceeeeeee! :)

Pag commercial, mga tattoo naman ni Tikboy ang pinapanood ko :)

After The Voice, bed time na :) This is the moment I look forward to all week, (more than the great, mind blowing sexy time) the time I get to sleep beside Tikboy. Because it means I get to wake up to a lovely morning next to him.

See, it is a really lovely morning :)

This Sunday morning was extra special though because may natupad akong wish. Wish ko noong high school pa lang ata ako - ang mag simba kasama ng boyfriend. We heard mass at the Antipolo Church. There was so much to be thankful for, I was praying non stop in my head. It was crazy.

After mass, we had breakfast at McDo then we went home. Time for ME time and family time naman for both of us :)

I am so happy with how my weekends are nowadays that I could break into a smile with teeth showing. I'm THAT happy! :)

Ang saya ng weekends no?! Tapos biglang mag cha-change ng schedule sa office at magiging Thursday Friday na ang off. Ang saklap! Why o why?!

Yes mag-i-iba kami ng schedule. Kung kailan pa naging mahalaga sa akin ang weekends. Pero okay na, nag isip na kami ni Tikboy ng magiging set up namin sa bago kong schedule. All will be well :)

And with that, thank you for reading abut how my weekends are spent! Kayo, how do you spend your weekends or your offs? :) Hope it's as great as mine. Tandaan, no matter how simple it is as long as it is spent with people you love, weekends are always great. Love love love! :)

For this post, hindi muna Kempet ang K sa HHK. Kain muna. Halo-Halong-Kain. Lakas maka kaning piggy no? Oink! I mean - game! :)

LUWAS EB

Yesterday I finally had the pleasure of meeting my blogger friend Marge of Piso Fashion and Coffeehan. Tagal na din kaming chika chika sa blog, FB, Twitter, Instagram, kulang na lang snail mail, chain letter, penpal, atbp! So I was really happy that we got to finally meet. Kasama sa kita kits syempre ang aking Marseng Joanne, Sis Arline and Rhoda na nakasama na namin ni Marse sa aming La Union trip :)

So Marse and I made luwas luwas to Makati and we went on probinsyana mode. Nag malling kami at nang stalk at ogle ng kuyang gwapo (mas detailed kwento sa post ni Marse) then met up with Marge, Rhoda and Sis Arline. Went straight to 8065 Coffee Shop.

Eto kami, in random order. Kung by beauty ang arrangement ako nasa unahan. Ang umangal masasaktan okay? Tandaan 6'2" ako. Hahaha :)

So best in chikahan portion kami. Really fun kausap sina Marge and Rhoda - parang ang tagal na naming friends sa kadaldalan namin sa isa't isa. Anyways, Marge is really pretty so yeah, kung by beauty ang pila, payag na ako pangalawa ako :)

I gave Marge a present - I drew a picture of her fabulous self :) Sorry sa frame Marge walang girly color so I brought a blue one just like mine.

Marge also had presents for us - a keyholder, an uber cute paper swan and a super sweet note.

Her note is too sweet to be kept to myself so here, you must read it too :)

Marseng Joanne in case you are wondering, hindi ako kasama sa pic ng note kasi ako ang kumuha okay? Hahahaha :)

Anyways, back to the 8065 Coffee Shop - it is a really homey coffee shop that Marge discovered and frequents. Glad she took us there. They have a really interesting display of toys! The boy in me (yes may boy sa loob ko, may girl din ) felt so happy seeing all these! I'm a big Marvel fan you see :)

This is what I wanted to do with this Gambit toy! Kung pwede lang nakawin!

Eto pa! X-Men collectible!

Leave it to me to make a gay scene with Spiderman and The Hulk :)

Enough playing around, usap naman about the food! They have rice meals at 8065 Coffee Shop - na puro bagnet ang ulam pero iba ibang luto. Gulo ng explanation ko no? Halimbawa! I had Spicy Gata Bagnet. Arline had Binagoongang Bagnet and Marge had Bagnet Kare Kare. Si Marse had plain and simple bagnet.

The verdict - super sarap! Mouth watering! Looks yummy! Hope I can try that too! Ganyan! Haha :) Kung hindi lang malaki ang posibilidad na pumutok ang batok ko malamang umorder pa ako ng isa pa :)

We also had this yummy Pesto - Php120.

And for dessert - a slice of Chocolate Campfire Cake - Php105 per slice. This made it to my list of yummiest cakes ever. Slice of heaven. At syempre - super sarap! Mouth watering! Looks yummy! Hope I can try that too! Ganyan! Haha ulit! :)

So over that yummy dinner and coffee we had a super fun talk. I know I'm a gay guy but it really is fun talking to girls kasi mas ka level ko ng isip at ng kung ano ano pa. Kahit ano pwede pag usapan, love life, gay bar, mga manlolokong lalake, etc. I had a really great time meeting and hanging out with you guys! Looking forward to hanging out with you again :)

Uwian time came at syempre nag pa-pic ako ng likod ng aking outfit for the day - sayang naman pag di nakita ang detail. Thanks for the pic Sis Arline :)

THE MILKY AND SUNNY SHOW!

Last week, after ako samahan ni Lori na kausapin si Pastor for our PBO Bazaar venue, we had a quick meal at Milky and Sunny in Kapitolyo, Pasig. Kaya ko i-nentitle na The Milky and Sunny show ang part na ito kasi lakas maka talk show ng chairs at sign sa harap ng resto :)

Me and Lionel the puppet. Sa resto po ang puppet na yan, nilinaw ko lang baka isipin nyo may dala akong puppet lagi. Rabbit na puppet po ang dala ko lagi. Hahahaha! :)

Milky and Sunny has a really lovely interior. The blue and white paint makes it really cozy and they have contemporary art to spice up the cool colored walls.

I love their wall decors of random frames and stuff. I love it so much na inspire ako and I'm working now on having something like this in my room. Wala nga lang EAT yung sa akin, baka lalo ako tumakaw, ay ibang level na yon.

Some of their other art fixtures. Love the skull, very Alexander McQueen! :)

And a bunny! Reminds me of my late Antoinette :-/

Now about their food, I think they serve mainly breakfast meals the whole day. See for yourself, here is their menu :)

I had Blueberry Pancakes - Php145. Sorry sa haggard face, puyat at pagod ako nyan ha. Wag magulo, mainit ulo ko.

Lori had Chocolate Chip Pancakes - Pp145 :)

I told her the chocolate chips in her pancake looks like goat poop, e sabi nya mas mukha daw goat poop ang sa akin, basa basa pa. Erks oo nga naman!

So note to self, wag magpapandiri ng iba kasi malamang bumalik din sa akin. Karma.

Malapit lang ang Milky and Sunny sa gaganapan ng PBO Bazaar natin so if you guys want to try it too, we can! Libre nyo ako ha! :)

TO INFINITEA AND BEYOND! PANGKALAWAKAN!

Hello Pao! Naalala kita sa title ko sa part na'to kaya tinodo ko na! :) After ng kainan namin ni Lori, nag Infinitea naman kami ng aking dear sister Carla and dear brother Ge. First time ko sa Infinitea kahit sobrang lapit lang nya sa amin.

So they have the usual milk tea choices. I had Peach Lychee Milk Tea (large at Php95) which is super yummy! Kanina nag Infinitea kami ulit and I had the Blueberry Milk Tea (sana nag Peach Lychee na lang pala ako ulit)

One thing that I am curious of at gusto ko ma-try ay ang milk tea liqueur! May percentage pa ng alcohol content. Gusto ko sanang magtanong "Wala bang 'tambay sa kanto levels? o kaya butas atay levels?"

Our drinks! Love how it's served in a basket :)

They have nachos too btw - Php 80 :)

And they have a band! Na gwapo ang guitarist! His name is Chard at boyfriend ko na sya, di pa lang nya alam.

Nakita ko ulit si Chard kanina and yes, he is indeed cute! And yes, di pa rin nya alam na boyfriend ko sya :)

Marseng Joanne wala si Carla sa pic kasi sya ang kumuha. Pero ayan sya sa baba, wala kami ni Ge kasi kami naman ang kumuha.

It's great having Infinitea really near our home. At least madali ko madadalaw si Chard my love! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPA!!!!

Birthday ni Papa ko last February 8. Straight from uwi namin from Siargao, bumili ako ng cake from Red Ribbon. This medium sized cake is at Php250 only.

Surprise Papa Jun! :)

A few days after since di ko na kaya kumain sa labas that day, we had Papa's celebration at Pizza Hut. Simple dinner lang with my crazy and fun family :)

Very Rihanna ang styling ni birthday boy Papa Jun :)

Mama and Carla :)

And Ge and me! :)

As expected, pasta and pizza ang nilaps sa Pizza Hut :)

AND THAT IS EAT! I mean IT! Ang daming kain no?! Now before I end this post, I want to greet all of you my dear friends..

Hope you had a great Valentines! Ako very isdang di nabili ang peg, nilangaw! Pero okay lang yan! Masaya naman ako so yeah! Yeah! God is good! Yeah yeah God is great! Yeah!

PS : This Sunday na ang PBO Bazaar for a Cause! Pwede pang humabol ang donations! At pwede ding sumama sa event itself para maka pag volunteer at para mameet namin at malibre ako sa Milky and Sunny! Go na! :)

Set up agad sa venue, again, ang Pasig Capitol Community Church :)

Ang daming books! :)

..and toys (pwedeng endorser si cute Sophie)..

..and clothes!

Special thanks kay Pastor for letting us have the bazaar at their church! At bumili si Pastor ng books, again super thank you Pastor! :)

Ayan. tama na, nababaliw na ako :) Thank you again everyone, much love as always! :)

Hi everyone! March na! Summer na ulit at syempre extreme ang init. Lakas maka Pan de Manila ng levels ng init lalo na sa kwarto ko, kailangan mag deodorant kahit sa pag tulog.

MAJINIT JACKSON

Kanina, instead na usual "Thank you Papa God for another day" ang nasambit ko nung nagising ako, napa "shet ang init!!!!" ako. Sorry naman, magising ka ba namang basa ng pawis. Bukas hahanda ko na sarili ko para Thank God muna, tapos sunod na ang shet na malagkit at mainit, blah blah ek ek.

Anyways, dahil dyan, inaya ko si brother Ge sa malamig na lugar. Kung saan aircon at may giant ceiling fan. Saan yan? Sa SM Masinag. Ayan o, may giant ceiling fans :)

Dahil summer na, napa shopping ako ng sando. Tingin nyo ano sa dalawa ang binili ko?

Syempre pareho! :)

Kinailangan namin umalis agad ni Ge kasi ang dami pang magaganda, baka mabili ko lahat (lahat ng kasya sa konti kong pera hahaha) We then had merienda at Sbarro. Sabi kasi ni Ge hindi pa sya nakaka-kain dun at naawa naman ako syempre. Pina-experience ko sa kanya ang aking favorite na spaghetti with meatball at ang pizza supreme :)

Nose nyo ba kung gaano kasarap ang spaghetti? Masarap sya! :)

Ge loved the spaghetti and pizza. Dahil nasimulan ko na last post, half order of spaghetti with 1 meatball is Php104 and a slice of Supreme pan pizza is Php110 :)

At nung gabi na, umuwi na kami. Malamig na e. Mahal mag pa aircon kaya magpapakabit na lang ako nung mga giant ceiling fan sa kwarto. Mas bonga yun di ba? :)

THE GREAT WALL OF ZAICY

Natapos ko na ang aking artsy wall na inspired ng artsy wall na nakita ko sa Milky and Sunny! Here is how it looks. Ang gulo no?! Hahaha :)

In case you want to know (high-light nyo lang ang dark parts para makita at mabasa nyo, in case you're not interested, you can actually just skip it - totally fine :) Anyway, these are just random things that I love :)

1. a picture of Malena ( one of my favorite movies)

2. a mini poster of To Wong Foo, Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar (favorite feel good movie)

3. a very inspiring chu-chu about love (because I need to not be bitter hahaha)

4. a nice red plate (dahil ako ay matakaw)

5. a picture of the painting Ophelia Drowning by Paul Steck which is featured in my fave album, Hole's Celebrity Skin (yeah rock rock!)

6. a Tale of Peter Rabbit bowl (dahil mahilig ako sa bunny)

7. a pic of the poster for Breakfast at Tiffany's (thanks Ms Balut for this frame!)

8. a drawing of mine featuring Alisha from Alisha's Attic :)

9. a pic of Carrie Bradshaw from a scene from Sex and the City movie (favorite series!)

10. a table napkin with cat prints (love cats!)

11. a flag of Britain with the keep calm kembot (para kalma lang haha)

12. a pic of the F.R.I.E.N.D.S. cast (favorite series too!)

13. a pic from Memoirs of a Geisha (my fave book)

14. a pic of the painting The Great Wave of Kanagawa by Hokusai (love this painting and it is so Japanese)

15. a pic of Spongebob and Patrick!

16. a pic of the paintings Dog and Fowl with Pearls by Michael Sowa, both featured in my fave movie, Amelie

17. a pic of Marilyn Monroe ('cause I'm sexy like her hehe)

Ang saya no! Let me know if you love any of the things I love too :) BTW, in case you have a bare wall, you can try doing this too. It's a really simple, fun and very personalized way to spice up a wall. Always fun to look at, lagi nga ako napapa smile pag tinitignan ko to..pero pag naiisip kong dagdag punasin pag naglilinis...hay! Haha.

ANG BUHAY NI PI

I finally got to watch Life of Pi the other day. It's a really great movie, story and production wise. No surprise that it won Best Director for Ang Lee, Best in Cinematography, Best in Visual Effects and Best in Original Score. My favorite scenes from the film are : nung very calm ang ocean and it was sunset..it was like being in a dream..

..and the scene where there were all the jelly fish and plankton and then cam the whale. Really magical :)

Hopefully you saw Life of Pi too. Ang ganda di ba? :)

And that's all the HHK for now! Hopefully we all get to survive this cruel summer, always keep yourself cool and hydrated ng hindi ma heat stroke at syempre mag sunblock para hindi mag tutong :) Thank you for dropping by and see you all soon! Much love as always! :)

Hello Hello everyone! Kamusta ang lahat? Anyways, I hope na hindi naman kayo na u-umay sa recent kong posts, kung puro Tikboy, Patootie, Tikboy, Patootie..etc, etc. Ganyan lang talaga, pag bigyan nyo na. Ang tagal ko din hinintay ang love life kaya tiis tiis muna kayo mga friends. Mag dala ng candy / atchara / stressball bago dumalaw sa blog ko, kontra umay. Ready na? Okay! :)

Ayan, kahapon ay 1st monthsary namin ni Tikboy! We met early in the morning so I can give him a simple gift - a pack of chocolates and the sweetest card I have ever seen. I saw it in NBS one day and after reading it, I literally went "awww!" kahit may mga tao. Sanay naman na ako pag tinginan so okay lang.

That night at work, Tikboy surprised me too. He dropped by my office, at the uber, very, spacious Robinsons in Cainta and had some goodies for me! Here they are..a jar of the yummiest cookies and gift na rinequest ko - si Smurfette! If you know me, you'd understand bakit hindi na umabot sa bahay ang cookies. Kasi nag share ako (at syempre nabuos ko hihihi)

And with those came this - a Patootie bucket list! This made me smile like a crazy person. I love everything here but if I were to arrange them in the order of my liking, last syempre ang pag donate ng dugo! Aw! :)

And also, there was this sweetest letter ever! Kahit yung card ko na sweet naging corny dahil sa ka sweetan ng sulat na ito. Remember my post about my weird stuff about myself that I fear he might not like? Binabasa na pala ni Tikboy ang blog ko, akala ko wala syang idea. Anyways, he replied to each weirdness I noted - at based sa nabasa ko ha, at sa pagka intindi ko (hahaha) tangap at love naman nya ang mga kweirduhan na iyon. Thank you Patootie! I was crying while I was reading this (while Marseng Joanne was laughing at me) I never felt this loved or special. Thank you, I love you very much!

In other news! I made a new pasta dish! Shrimp pesto. Hinanda ko para kina Patootie, his pamangkin Barbie and Ate Belen. I was excited to make this - sa sobrang excitement ko nakalimutan kong di pa pala ako nakaka pag luto ng hipon kahit kelan! Nahiya naman ako mag tanong baka matakot silang kainin ang lulutuin ko haha!

Syempre instinct na lang ang pinagana ko. Ginisa gisa ko sa butter, kumain ng ilang hipon para malaman kung luto na. Mga 6 na hipon ata nakain ko hahaha. Nung luto na, matabang naman kaya nilagyan ko ng asin. Napadami ang asin, umalat naman. Excuse ko na lang na maalat talaga ang hipon na yon hahaha :)

It turned out quite well! Buti na lang masarap ang pesto pasta kaya pwede nang tyagain ang maalat na shrimp :)

I found this cutest thing over at Patootie's. Guess what it is! Sireeeettt?

It's a radio! The coolest looking radio! Pats, pag nalooban kayo at ito lang ang nawala (at ilang laman ng ref) alam mo na kung sino nang loob ha? :)

May biglaan kaming kita kita ng ilang blogger friends na sina Josh, Jun and Empi last week! Nagka ayaan bigla after I posted about La Travieza. Sayang di nakasama sina Marseng Joanne, Arline and Hustin. Sana next time! Anyways, ang saya at nakita ko ulit ang aking mga kaibigan na namiss ko ng sobra! Kain at kwentuhan lang kami. Picture picture din syempre!

Josh and Jun :)

Empi and Me :)

I didn't take much pictures of the food kasi pareho lang halos ng selection the last time I was here. Ito lang ang kakaiba - ang fish fillet with tausi na mukha at lasang adobong pusit. Galing no, magic! Hahaha :)

BTW, may seafood buffet pa sa La Travieza though Ph230 na sya at hindi na Php199. Okay pa din :)

Uwi kami after sa aking bahay at kwentuhan pa. Nag aya mag inuman, si Josh hard pa ang gusto pero endng nakatulog sya! Haha! Nuod na lang kami ni Jun ng The Impossible which by the way is a very nice movie, made me cry! It was really nice seeing you guys, sa uulitin! :)

I would like to formally introduce you to our new family member, Tom the hyper chihuahua! He looks like a hyena sometimes, pero aso talaga sya. He likes to play around in bed and has a crazy habit of wanting to always put his front paws in my mouth hahaha :)

And lastly, may trip kami this weekend! Me, with Tikboy and Marseng Joanne (sayang di na makasama sina Baby Faye at Kitboy) ay pupunta ng Baguio! 3 na lang kami pero I'm sure we'll still have fun. Really excited for the trip, we need a vacation away from our stressful work. At ayan lang po ang HHK! Thank you for your time!

I hope you'll always have a positive outlook in life, believe in love and in prayers. Be a blessing to others and as always, kumain ng madami! Haha! Much love from me to all of you. Tsup! :)

A rainy hello to everyone! Kwento ko sa inyo ang aming fun weekend get away to Baguio! Ang kasama ko - syempre si Tikboy! Honeymoon namin e, in celebration of our first month as Patooties! :)

At kasama syempre sina Baby Faye and Marseng Joanne. Hindi nila honeymoon, pero eventually parang nagka something sila #umay #kaloka #kabaliwan #hahaha!

We took a Victory Liner bus to Baguio, Php450 ang ticket. It was about 6 hours of shifting in our seats, napping, snacking and countless "are we there yet?!" moments til we got to Baguio. We stayed at Hotel 45 Extension. Okay ang place, it is located near SM Baguio and several restos. Fairly priced too - our room, the Matrimonial Room is only for Php1,100. Know more about Hotel 45 here.

To make the most of our first day, punta agad sa Camp John Hay! Gusto nina Baby Faye at Marseng Joanne magpakamatay a.k.a mag tree drop adventure pero di namin naabutan. We went around the park na lang #conyo! It was lovely - seeing all the pine trees, the flowers and breathing in the cool Baguio air. Buti na lang di nautot si Baby Faye, kundi nasira ang moment! :)

We saw the Cemetery of Negati-Negatividi-Negati-AteVi-Negativism! Hirap i-pronounce, parang tongue twister! You should read this message on the welcome epitaph. So true! :)

There are about 15 epitaphs in The Cemetery of Negati-Negatividi-Negati-AteVi-Negativism. Here are my faves among them. Really witty! :)

After namin dalawin ang mga patay na Negati-Negatividi-Negati-AteVi-Negativism ay ikot ikot pa sa CJH. We saw this totem pole with the heads (not the real heads okay) of some military leaders. May premyong Php500 pag napangalanan nyo kung sino sila! Haha :)

Eto may give away na, yung dalawang ulo ay kay yours truly at kay Tikboy :)

May nakita din kaming malaking malaking flower - ang giant sunflower! May dumating na giant bee kaya napatakbo kami hihihi :)

At syempre ang Bell House. Ito pala ay vacation house ng mga general dati. Buti hindi ako general dati kasi ayaw ko tumira dito, nakaka takot! Creepy ang dating lalo na sa mga kwarto. Pwede pag shootingan ng The Conjuring! :)

Pero syempre kodakan pa din! :)

Sa loob ng Bell House..

Patootie Mirror Shot!

Knock Knock!

Hay!

Hay who?!

"I said Hay, Hay! I love you til the morning comes!"

Hahaha! Ay joke lang po, ang serious ni Mr John Milton Hay!

Table for?

More random pics! :)

Ito yung nabanggit kong may something sina Baby Faye at Marseng Joanne!:-/

Liberty ang peg :)

Who's the cutest couple? Zai and Tikboy or Pine Tree and Marseng Joanne? :)

Nung nagutom na kami, we took a walk out of the CJH grounds (which made us more hungry) then we had dinner at the 50's Diner! There was a queue, just shows how famous this diner has become :)

I love the 50's theme which was incorporated (big word! haha) in the interiors, the staffs uniform, the food choices too. Ang daming posters ng 50's movie, medyo umiral pagka klepto ko, gusto ko kunin! Haha :)

Baby Faye and Joanne enjoying their drinks :)

They both had an order of GUYS ON THE HOOD (Php130) which had pork chop, fried chicken, a slice of pizza, spaghetti, bread and fries. Yep, all for just Php130! :)

Patooties had SHE (Php190) which has fried chicken, pork chop, a fried fish fillet, a slice of steak, a hotdog, vegetables and fries. It was yummy and at Php190, was such a great deal.I love 50's Diner! :)

After stuffing ourselves, we went to SM Baguio!Eto proof :)

Took obligatory pics of the lovely view of the Baguio view :)

Then went on a walk along Session Road. Lovely night to take a walk :)

Baby Faye made us try Karamay, which was like baby kamias - ang asim! Kahit sya di nya naubos hehe! :)

Ended the night with a stroll around Burnham Park then went home to some much need R&R! It was a long day but not long enough to enjoy our first day at Baguio..pero don't worry may days 2 and 3 pa! :)

Thanks for reading and tagging along our trip everyone! Stay tuned for the rest of our Iwas sa Bagyo adventure! Much love as always! :) xoxoxo!

Hellllloooooo everyone! Nawa'y kayo ay nasa mabuti at tuyong lagay sa pag basa nyo nito. Pause muna ang post ko tungkol sa aming Baguio Trip, kasi may bagyo tapos tungkol pa sa Baguio ang post, redundant na! (at corny ang hirit hahaha!)

Anyways, ngayon kwe-kwento ko muna sa inyo ang isang very happy na kaganapan sa aking buhay. Ako ay naka bukod na ng bahay! Yahoo! Di man lang kalakihan ay masaya lang na meron na akong sariling uuwian.

Malayo ang bahay ko sa original naming bahay kung saan naiwan ang aking the rest ng Zailonga Family. Isang bahay ang pagitan namin! Haha! Pag namimiss ko sila, umuuwi ako doon o kaya kinukulit ko sila na bisitahin ako. Pag ayaw nila, sina Luna at Tom ang sinasama ko, dahil hindi nila kaya tumangi haha :)

Anyways, original naming bahay ang aking bahay ngayon, na nilisan at pina upahan namin kasi sumikip sya para sa amin. E umalis ang naka upa (haunted daw kasi - The Conjuring levels! Joke lang po, knock on wood!) at ginamit ko ang aking charm (at sangkatutak na pangu-ngulit at pag iyak iyak sa sulok (emo lang hahaha!) ay napa payag ko sina Mama at Papa na ako na ang titira sa bahay. Big YEY! :)

Naka lipat na ako ng mga gamit kahit paano kaya halika at kayo ang aking first visitors sa Zai Manor :) Ito ang entrance. May built in tambayan na sa labas :)

Sa loob, may bintana na ako. Pwede na ako manuod ng mga taong nag dadaan habang nagkakape. Pang matanda na ang trip ko haha :)

Ito ang isang side ng bahay - dining at kitchen area. Mukha lang hindi, pero dining at kitchen area talaga yan okay! :)

Isang pinaka excited ako magkaroon ay ang sariling kitchen! Kasi matakaw nga ako diba, at mahilig magluto. Halos kumpleto na ang gamit, kulang na lang ng personal ref, blender, food processor, steamer, waffle maker, siopao / siomai steamer, rice cooker, at kung ano ano pa. Papakasal nga ako next month ng may mga mag regalo sa akin ng mga yan! :)

Kakaroon ko lang ng kalan kaya pwede na akong tumigil sa aking sandwich diet at makaka luto na ng pasta! Eto ang mga nakasabit sa ibabaw ng aking kalan, ang dati ko pang kinollect na Tale of Peter Rabbit dishes :)

Off to the dining area naman! Syempre wala pa akong dining set! Kaya naging make shift cabinet muna. Dahil wala pa din akong cabinet, nasa folding bed lang ang ila sa mga damit ko. Di ko pa malipat lahat dahil baka bumigay ang folding bed, maging flattened bed bigla :-/

Ito naman ang isang side! Office at bedroom. Again, office at bedroom yan, mukha lang hindi :) Ito ang aking office, katabi lang ng bintana.

At ito ang aking bed room :) Nalipat ko na ang frames, na kailangan kong dagdagan kasi nag mukhang konti sa laki ng space.

FYI, ang sarap ng tulog ko dito! Malamig at presko, di gaya ng mala Pan de Manila at Putok enducing kong kwarto dati. Excited na akong mag over nighter si Tikboy dito para makita sya ni Papa at mapikot at maikasal na kami at regaluhan nyo na ako ng mga nabangit ko sa taas hehe! :)

Moving on, may banyo din ako syempre. Medyo unsightly ang tiles kaya di ko na picture-an ang loob. Basta alam nyo naman ang banyo, may bowl, tiles, aquarium, piano. Ito ang pinto ng banyo - sinabit ko ang aking favorite sando para very summery ang feel kahit epal si Maring.

Sa loob ng banyo, andun si Ponyo to keep me company in Pupu moments at may bag na may magazines. Dahil hindi ko kayang mag Pupu moment ng walang binabasa :)

So all is well pag lipat ko until umeksena nga si Maring. Biglang naging Lake House ang bahay ko! Meron ba namang may pumapasok na tubig galing sa ilalim ng kusina. Hindi ko alam kung paano sya naka daan sa sementong sahig pero andyan sya. Kailangan akong naka monitor at laging may ready na basahan kung hindi hangang dining, bedroom at office ko ay babahain.

Tapos may isang parte ang kisame na may tulo, na discover ko pag uwi ko galing trabaho. At ang kaisa isang parte ng kisame na may tulo, alam nyo kung saan pa tumapat? SA TV!!! Sa linaki (di naman kalakihan symepre) ng space e sa tapat pa ng tv natapat ang tulo. So nabasa ang TV. Pinatuyo ko ng isang oras, pag bukas ko - may line na sa screen at ayaw mawala :(

Nilagyan ko pa ng picture ni Mama Mary para umayos hahaha! Pero di kaya, papa repair na lang. Inisip ko na ang na much worse could have happened kaya okay na din na ganito lang :)

And that is my tour of my own home, the Zai Manor! Madami pang kulang pero pu-pundar ko yan unti unti nang maging bahay na talaga ito. I guess that's the beauty of having a house, how you turn it into a home :) I hope you enjoyed the tour at sana maka dalaw kayo dito my dear blogger friends! I leave you all with this inspirational ek ek hanging in my office wall..

Hope you are all safe and not so wet! Always take care and I love you all! Tsup! :)

After 48 years, ito na ang Day 2 ng aming Baguio trip! This is quite a long day, hence the quite long post but I'm sure (yet I hope) you'll enjoy reading this :)

Umpisahan natin sa isang Girl to Girl moment, featuring Marseng Joanne and Baby Faye :)

Maaga kami gumising at naglakad sa Session Road. Bumili ng tickets para sa byahe pauwi bago magka ubusan. Pagkatapos ay kumain ng Strawberry Taho! Yummy! :)

Pagkatapos ay nag hire kami ng taxi para sa mga lakad namin that day. Second day kami may pinaka busy na itinerary, tinalo pa namin si Dora na tatlo lang ang usually ang pinupuntahan sa mga adventures nya. Php 2,000 ang rent namin sa taxi at kay Kuyang Driver, para sa aming Baguio tour.

First stop namin ay ang Lion's Head sa Kennon Road.

First time ko mapunta dito. Ang laki nga ng lion! Mas maganda sana kung tumutugtog ang Roar by Katy Perry sa background, dagdag sa emote. Tapos sana pumipikit ung lion, tapos may apoy na lumalabas sa bibig at umi-ikot ikot ang ulo. Naging horror no? Hahaha :)

Next stop ay ang Lourdes Grotto. First time ko din dito! Medyo masama ang pakiramdam ko nung pumunta na kami ng Grotto, hinigh blood ata ako sa kinain kong breakfast ( pang dalawang tao) kaya extra effort ang pag akyat ko sa 252 steps pa-akyat. (Paakyat ba? hahaha )

Sabi nila pwede daw mag wish pag first time mo sa simbahan o sa grotto, kaya ang winish ko ay sana wag pa akong madeds, sa high blood as sa pagod ko pag akyat. At natupad naman! :) Bakit nga pala wish, e hindi naman genie si Mama Mary..prayer pala dapat no?

Pero speaking of wish, may maliit na box sa gilid ng grotto kung saan pwede kang mag hulog ng mga wish o prayers mo. Nagkakatotoo ang wishes kasi alam kong nag wish si Tikboy ng perfect boyfriend and tada! Wish granted. Level sa confidence! Hahaha :)

Ganyan ichura ko pagka high blood at umakyat ng 252 steps.

Thank you Mama Mary and Papa Jesus for granting my wishes and listening to my prayers :)

Next stop namin ay medyo malayo malayo mula sa Grotto - ang BenCab museum. First time ko din dito. Lahat na lang first time ko ano? :)

Syempre more lovely artwork and art pieces sa BenCab by the National Artist Benedicto Reyes Cabrera and some other artists. More pictures din kami. Pre nup shoot dapat nina Marseng Joanne and Baby Faye, pero extra si Tikboy.

Dito naman extra si Red Face from Insidious

Pre nup shoot din kami ni Pats :)

Song ni Baby Faye ang "Don't Want No Short, Short Man!"

Insecure sina Ning Ning at Ging Ging sa solo ni Selya :-/

Adventure Time!!! :)

Ang painting na ito ay named Joan in a Red Dress - what a coincidence! :)

Sa lahat ng galleries sa BenCab, ito ang aking favorite..come in ;)

Don't get any ideas Pats! Just kidding, go get ideas please :)

Madaming sexy themed art pieces sa Erotica Gallery pero ito ang pinaka naka bother sa akin. Gawa sa kahoy! Baka masalubsob ang gagamit, sakit! :(

Moving on, sa BenCab Museum makikta ang Cafe Sabel. It is a really cute cafe with colorful interiors, art pieces by Ben Cabrera and a lovely view of a duck pond and a forest.

I had an order of this Tomato and Basil Pasta - not to brag but my version of this is tastier :)

Eto ang mga cute ducks sa duck pond :)

After feasting our eyes on art and our tummies on pasta, off we went to the next stop - ang Strawberry Farm. And you guessed it, first time ko dito :)

At guess what! Off season ang strawberries so Lettuce Farm ang naabutan namin. No fun seeing all the lettuce when I was expecting strawberries :-/

Dinaan ko na lang sa Strawberry Ice Cream para naka strawberry pa rin ako kahit paano.

Moving on! Punta naman kami sa Mines View Park. Dito hindi ko na first time syempre. Pero first time ko kumain dito ng mais :)

Hindi gaanong magandang idea kumain ng mais kasi puro tinga tuloy kami at di maka smile with teeth!

Syempre pik pak kami with the famous St Bernand ng Mines View, si....ay di pala sya famous, di ko maalala ang pangalan nya! Basta alam ko mabait sya, Saint nga sya e hahaha :)

Super sikip na ng Mines View with all the stalls and some construction being done. Siksikan tuloy ang mga tao and it was hard to enjoy the view when there was a queue of people waiting for their turn to take pictures.

And andun pa din ang mga kawawang horse na dyed ang buhok. Poor horsies.

Next stop namin ay ang Tam-awan Village. We made it on right on time as some young Ifugao were about to perform traditional dances. Syempre nakigulo muna kami bago sila nag dance dance :)

It was nice watching them dance and knowing that the Ifugao culture is still alive and in practice by the young. Even some of the audience are familiar with the dances :) At syempre bonus na may cutie Ifugao dancer na crush ni Baby Faye at crush ko din hihi :)

Went around the Tam-awan Village after their performance. There were several Ifugao homes, pinaka pansinin ang Dukligan - ang fertility hut. Ayan si Baby Faye, mukhang gustong i-try :)

Gusto din namin try ni Pats pero mukhang mas matindi pa sa hut ang kailangan para kami ay magka baby! Himala ang kailangan! Haha :)

Biglang nag fog nung nasa taas kami ng Tam-awan! Nakakain ba ang fog Baby Faye?

Matapos malaman ni Baby Faye na hindi nakakain ang fog, bumaba na kami at pictures pa with the fog. Bihira lang ang fog sa buhay namin! :)

Ito nga pala si aming Kuyang Driver for the day :)

On to our last stop for the tour, ang Botanical Garden. May on going renovation, mga statue ata ang gumagawa.

More pre-nup pics! :)

At ang obligatory picture sa harap ng Botanical Garden kasama ang mga lola at lolo na Igorot na mabilis pa sa alas kwatro sa pag tabi sa amin nung kodakan time na :) Sabi ni Kuyang Driver malakas daw ang dasal (nice way of saying - sumpa) ng mga lolo at lola na Igorot kaya buti na lang binigyan ko pala si lola ng 20!

And that is our tour of Baguio, in one long post :) Sana nag enjoy naman kayo at nainggit para ma-isipan nyong mag Baguio din :) Next post naman ay tungkol sa aming food trip on our second night in Baguio :)

Thank you all for the time reading this! Love you all and have a great September! Much love, as always :)

3rd out of the 4 posts about our Baguio Trip last August! Sa sobrang dami ng ginawa, pinuntahan, kinain namin nung umaga ay kinailangan na separate ang post tungkol sa aming second night sa Baguio. At ano ang ginawa namin nung second night? FOOD TRIP! :)

Syempre same pa rin ang partners - me and my Patootie, Tikboy :)

And Baby Faye and Marseng Joanne..tawagin natin silang Marsifaye :)

First naming kinainan, for our appetizers ay ang favorite restaurant ni Marseng Joanne - ang Oh My Gulay!!!!! Kailangan may exclamation mark para may feelings! Btw, naka skirt po si Marseng Joanne dyan, baka akala nyo wala syang suot. Mabuti na ang malinaw :)

Ang ganda ng interiors ng Oh My Gulay, na nasa 5th floor ng La Azotea Green Building, in Session Road. Para kang pumasok ng garden at mawawala sa loob mong nasa 5th floor ka pala. May plants, mini pond, mini bridge, mini pincher, iPad mini (haha) at kung ano ano pa :)

May stage din! Natakpan lang namin :)

Ang dami pang magandang points ng interior kaya lang madaming tao at hindi gaanong maganda ang lighting pag gabi kaya di ako gano naka pag picture (at syempre low class lang camera ko hindi perfect sa night shots hihihi)

Anyways, so we had our appetizers here. Marseng Joanne had OMG Salad for Php120. Love na love nya ang salad na yan. Sobrang love nya, pina ubos nya sa akin :)

Baby Faye and Tikboy both had Lumpia Salad, Php120. Ang sarap ng lumpia! Kahit hindi budburan ng suka! :)

I had mushroom pasta, na di ko maalala ang price. Naalala ko lang na medyo matabang sya. Humingi ako ng paminta, na di ko mataktak mula sa lalagyan. Ang dahilan : buo ang paminta. #tunaynanakakaloka

Oh My Gulay is great for vegetarians. Gaya ng goats, cows, horses, etc. Okay din for anyone who wants to feast on fresh vegetable dishes :)

Next stop namin for our main course ay ang Good Taste(!!!!!!!!!) na recommended ni Carl (at sa sobrang love namin sya ay tiniis namin ang kalayong lakarin makarating lang sa Good Taste) Sa pagod, syempre mukhang bad trip ang mga kasama ko..

Ako masaya pa din, kakain e! At order ko ang aking favorite tandem na beef mami and siopao :)

Di ko napicturean ang food na kinain agad agad sa sobrang gutom. Okay naman ang food, not worth lang na pwede na ipang fun run ang layo haha! :)

After our meal, off to dessert! We went to Visco's (!!!!!!!!), home of the famous Strawberry Cake. Visco's is in Session Road too :)

They have a selection of cakes..

..but of course I had my eyes set on this baby..

..it's like a slice of strawberry heaven!

The Strawberry Cake is perfect! It isn't too sweet and it melts in your mouth (not on your hand - naging M&M's!) It is fairly priced too, an 8 inch one is Php610, a 6 inch cake if at Php375 and a slice of it is Php80. Papagawa ako ng 10 tier Strawberry Cake para sa wedding namin ni Tikboy hihihihi :)

Must try ito when you're in Baguio. Tapos pasalubungan nyo ako ng isang buo :)

For our dessert number 2, we went to Hill Station (!!!!!!), which is in the Casa Vallejo, located in the Upper Session Road. We came here for ice cream! :)

Ang ganda ng interiors ng Hill Station! Ang sarap lang mag debut haha :)

Same ang sweet pairing, kami ni Patootie..

..at sina MarsiFaye :)

Singit ko lang ang lesson on paano mamili sa menu ang maganda. Ganito dapat, may slight pagtataray.. taas ang kilay at naka hawak ng konti ang kamay sa mukha. Parang commercial ng facial wash :)

At paano kumain ang maganda? Syempre mataray pa din at dapat naka bend lahat ng fingers, parang pinag lihi sa alimango :)

Anyways, we wanted to try the Ice Cream Palette but it wasn't available. We settled for the Mango Rum - which is the perfect mix of sweetness and sourness of mangoes. Php 120.

We also tried the sinfully good Death by Chocolate, for Php115. This was very good, the chocolate was gooey and sweet. I'm not willing to die because of this though! :)

They have meals too but I got the impression that they're more famous for their desserts :)

At matapos nyan ay umuwi kaming bundat na bundat sa dami ng kinain! Super fun ang aming 2nd night sa Baguio. We got to try 4 different restaurants in one night! :)

Next and last post about Baguio ay ang aming 3rd and last day. Sorry if thiis Baguio series has been dragging but I hope you're somehow enjoying it. Thanks for reading everyone and have a great and safe week! Much love as always! :*

Hello everyone! Hope you are all doing better than I am. Meron kasi akong sakit, I have Chikungunya!!! Apparently sikat pala ang sakit na ito, ako naman walang kaalam alam. Nung sinabi ko pa kay Mama na may sakit ko at ang symptoms ang sabi nyang "ah baka chikungunya!" ako naman napa "sino po?!" pa, hahaha :)

Chikungunya is almost like dengue, transmitted by a mosquito bite and lucky for me, and for all of us, not as fatal. All I had was fever, joint pain and rashes. Fever went away quite fast, special thanks to Pats for being my personal nurse (tsup!) pero may joint pain pa din. Parang may preview ako ng mararamdaman ko when I get old (okay, okay, much older!) Again, luckily mas madali pa gamutin ang Chikungunya kesa sa tandaan at bigkasin sya. To know more about it, magtanong kay Kuya Kim or para mas madali, kay Ate Wikipedia na lang :)

Aside from having Chikungunya, eto ang mga recent ganaps :)

Not so recent na pala! Last August 30th, lumuwas kami (yes, luwas ang Antipolo to Makati) nina Marseng Joanne and Baby Faye to Makati. Bakit? Eto!

Eto po si Marseng Joanne na alam ko miss nyo na. Miss ko na rin yan! :)

Eto ang ginawa sa kanya! :)

Hindi po sya na The Matrix o brinain wash, nagpa digital perm sila ni Baby Faye sa Beauty Brick, same salon kung saan nagpa digital perm si Marge. The salon was nice, it had bare yet nice interiors at ang get up ng staff, akala mo mga G-Force.

The digital perming took more or less about 4 hours so good thing there were a lot of magazines to keep me entertained. I spent about an hour staring at this ad of David Beckham..kidding, 55 minutes lang! Hihihi :)

Some random stuff I saw - astig tong projctor na to! Parang ang saya manuod ng Insidious 2 habang naka project sa ibabaw ng kama no? :)

At ito, Korean ang sulat kaya di ko malaman kung ano. Ganito kaya ginagawa sa madaldal at chismosa sa Korea? :-/

After flipping through all the mags, tapos na ang digital perm nina MarseFaye. Nagulat ako ng nakita ko ang nangyari kay Marseng Joanne, being styled by Mr. Shin.

Akala ko kung magkaka Pinoy version ang Maria Mercedes, magkaka live version na din si Mary at ang Lihim na Hardin! :-o

Buti hindi naman pala! Vinolumze lang. Now, meet the newly kulots, my lovely friends! Tandaan, may kasabihan tayong, pag kulot...mayaman! Halos 4k ba naman ang bayad e! :)

After the perming session, we met up with Arline and then Marge for a long overdue get together and dinner at 8065 Bagnet. Binigyan kami ni Arline ng framed certificates from PBO - di ko naman to expected, sana nagpa perm din ako! Thanks a lot PBO :)

We ended the night with desserts at 8065 Coffee, this time with Tikboy! :)

It was really fun seeing, talking and laughing with Arline and Marge again, missed them and I miss them again! :)

In other news! Mag o-one month na ako dito sa aking home, which I call Zai Manor. Lakas maka mayaman! :) Doing good so far though I miss my family sometimes (seriously) kahit isang bahay away lang sila. I have them come over and prepare food.

I had my first visitors, MarsiFaye! I made them pancakes for breakfast friends come over, I like cooking for them, kasi sabi nga ni Mikee Cojuangco sa Knorr cooking ekek, "because cooking is how we show we show our love" :)

Regular visitor too of course is Pats! We celebrated our 2nd monthsary here :)

May pancit! Parang swumeldo lang si Itay. May steak din! Malaki ang swledo ni Itay! :)

This Saturday may mini kita kits ang ilang blogger friends dito and I'm excited to see them! Maliit lang ang bahay ko so di ko maaya lahat, so batch by batch na lang :)

Anyways, so far, living alone made me more independent. About time, I'm not getting any younger, though I don't look like I am naman haha :)

That is all for now my friends! Stay safe and dry at wag pakakagat sa lamok! Mahirap na magka Chungkunya! Mahirap i-spell! :) Thanks and much love as always! XOXOXO! :)

A few days to go and it's October already! My birth month! Atin atin lang pero wala na ako sa kalendaryo sa darating kong birthday! Napapa O-M-G! ako tuwing naiisip ko! #tandangsora!

Ang bilis lang ng panahon, dati ang problema ko lang ay ang pimples, paano mag papapansin sa crush, ano ang susuot, ngayon ang mga problema ko na ay ano ba talaga ang gusto ko sa buhay, ano ang kakainin at kung ano ang susuot. Yup, some things never change! :)

Anyways, yup - isa sa aking issues ngayon ay ang ano ba talaga ang gusto ko sa buhay, specifically sa career. Sa totoo lang, pagod na pagod at sawang sawa na ako sa aking trabaho sa call center. Walang growth at paulit ulit lang ang ginagawa. Mas gusto ko yung nag iisip ako, yung masaya, yung bago.

Goal ko sana na sa January ay iba na ang trabaho ko, pero ano? Ayaw ko naman lumipat lang ng call center, dahil ganun din naman yun. Uulit lang ako. Pag iniisip ko kung ano talaga ang gusto kong trabaho - wag sana kayong matawa - gusto ko mag trabaho sa office! :) Yung tipong mag fo-formal, naka dress up, kabugan araw araw. Tapos bibigyan ako ng task, mga paper works, etc. Yung pwede ako makinig ng radyo at minsan makipag kwentuhan. Ganun lang masaya na ako. Yun naman ang mahalaga, na masaya sa ginagawa. Yan ang isa kong natutunan sa (*gulp*) pag tanda ko.

Naiisip ko minsan, ako lang ba ang ganito, na hindi pa alam ang totoong gusto? Naging mabilis kasi ata ang lahat - pagka graduate ng high school, aba college agad - pili agad ng magiging career. E paano kung di mo pa alam ang gusto mo nun? Ending go ka lang sa kung ano ang trip mo sa panahong yon. Tapos pag graduate malalaman mong mahirap pala at mababa ang sweldo ng napili mong career. So pasok ka sa may malaking sweldo (sa kaso ko, at ng madami pa - ang call center) at doon, swertihan ka ng mapapasukan.

Anyways, I always pray nowadays that I get enlightened, and I get to finally realize what I want and I get the strength to go for it. What ever will make me happy, that is the goal. Life is too short - it needs to be fun!

Sorry about the mild rant, ito na ang lighter side of the news! Masaya ang aking buhay living alone ( a few houses away from my family!) dumating na ang unang bill sa kuryente at tubig, may mini garden na ako sa harap ng bahay, madalas akong (mag plano) mag linis at tulog ako ng tulog. I have settled and I'm loving it :)

Syempre, I love cooking and eating! Ito ang aking favorites nowadays..

FRENCH TOAST!

TOASTED BREAD!

..at walang kamatayang SPAGHETTI! :)

At eto ka, sa isang araw ko lang kinain ang lahat ng yan haha! Ganyan pag walang magawa, kundi ako tulog, ako ay kumakain! Buhay pugad baboy! :)

Nagka mini housewarming ako last week. Present ang ilang blogger friends - sina Marseng Joanne, Empi, Hustin and Jun na balik Bicol! Present din syempre si Patootie :)Thanks sa pag punta sa aking mini bahay at pasensya na at di naka pag overnight. Pag madami na akong kama pwede na mag pajama party :)

At yun lang ang mga ganap sa ngayon, ako ay gutom na ulit. Thank you all for dropping by and reading about my HHK's! I wish you're all well and doing great. Til next time! xoxoxo!

Hello everyone! Last time I was here, I was ranting about how I dislike my job. That time, lagi akong hini-high blood and all I wanted to do was rest. I was okay, stressed na stressed lang talaga ako. All I wanted was a change kasi sawang sawa na ako sa ginagawa ko.

And tada! Prayer granted! I became a QA Intern! It could not have happened at any other time, the timing was just perfect. I thank God everyday for this change that saved me from being...crazier :)

Almost 3 weeks na akong QA Intern and I love it. It's challenging, it's new. I love listening to calls and laughing at how crazy the conversations can go. (Kahapon may inevaluate akong call, naka 9 na "in here" si agent in one sentence! Parang ganito,"let me check in here, my system in here, what it will show in here.." Kaloka! Pero kesa nga naman mag "uhhmmm.." "ahhh..." hahaha!)

Anyways, after every evaluation, I coach the agents. I write notes with updates, etc. I want to make the notes special so inaayos ko ang sulat at sprina-sprayan ko pa ng cologne. Bath and Body Cucumber Melon pa para fresh na fresh haha! Kung may glitters o stickers lang akong dala malamang may ganun pa :)

Anyways, not a day goes by that I thank Papa God for this chance. I hope I get to be a certified QA for real because I'm really loving it :)

While all of that was happening, I worked on being my happy self again. I did the things that I love to do - cook and watch movies with Ge! I sometimes have the family over come visit me and we have dinner together. Bukas na din ang Ynares perya so we go there sometimes too :)

Ge and I were watching Evil Dead hence the face :)

And of course, I have the date weekends with Patootie! We went to Ace Water Spa one Saturday. AT ETO KA! Kasabay namin si Paolo Onesa - my super crush from The Voice of the Philippines! It was unreal, na nakita ko sya tapos naka topless at trunks pa hahaha.

Too bad bawal ang camera sa loob at nung may chance na na makapag pa-picture ako sa labas, aba nahiya si Tikboy! First time ko ata nainis sa kanya haha. Sana sinakyan na lang ang kajologsan ko, e di sana may nai-post akong picture namin ni Paolo :)

E wala, so eto, picture na lang namin ni Patootie :)

On our date weekends we either watch a movie (we saw Gravity [and ganda!!!] and She's The One [kailangan laging sumasayaw si Enrique Gil?]) or we stay home and nap and eat and nap some more. May mga sexy time in between pero syempre hindi ko binangit kasi conservative ako (pero binangit ko na, hindi talaga ako conservative hahaha) Thanks Pats for making me always happy, tsup!!! :)

Ito pala ang lunch namin kahapon, sardine pasta and iced tea! Na nasa aking kay tagal na minithing mason jar :) Lakas maka sosyal di ba?! :)

And that is it! So far I am well and happy again and I want to share it with all of you guys. I hope you're all doing well and are happy too :)

MGA P.S.

The worst has happened - ayaw mag on ng aking external hard drive! It's 1 TB of pictures, videos (both wholesome and not so wholesome) and much more. I was very sad nung ayaw nya na mag on. Paano na pag gusto ko manuod ng Friends! O ng mga movie ni Sharon at Regine! Oh no! But no use in sulking, move on na lang. Ito ang aking goal na bilhin - a replacement! Fast approaching ang aking birthday so kung wala kayong maisip na gift, pwede na to hahaha! :)

I was much sadder though about what has happened and is still happening to Cebu and Bohol. These are two of my favorite places and seeing them; the people, the homes, the churches, the sceneries in destruction is really heart breaking. Sana tumigil na ang mga aftershock para maka pag umpisa na maka pagayos. Prayers for Cebu and Bohol!

And I end this post with this lakas maka Englishero na parting thought - I think our lives are like the phases of the moon. At times we experience phases of darkness where we are shadowed by sadness, grief or any troubling time..but it is inevitable that any dark time shall pass. We just need to strong and believe that we will surpass anything and after all the dark phases, we will shine, like magical full moon :)

Have a great week ahead everyone!

Bukas dadalaw ako ulit sa mga blogs nyo! I miss blog hopping and reading about you! Mwahs!

As always, much love from me to all of you! xoxoxo!

I have been thinking of what to blog about the past days, yung tungkol ba sa birthday ko, yung tungkol sa November 1, mga HHK, kung ano ano.

Di ko alam kung saan sisimulan.

Pero dahil sa nangyari sa ating mga kababayan na napuruhan ni Yolanda, ayaw ko na muna mag post ng kahit anong masaya. Parang hindi tama.

Tsaka na lang pag kaya na din nila ulit maging masaya.

BTW, I just want to share...we found this link to a site with very haunting pictures, showing the terrible destruction caused by Yolanda. Dito ko nakita at nasabing sobra pala, sa picture pa lang nalungkot at naiyak na ako, paano pa kaya ang nararamdaman ng mga totoong apektado, ang mga nawalan ng pamilya, ng mga bahay, ng lahat lahat :(

BUZZFEED - 27 Devastatingimgaes from Typhoon Haiyans destruction

Heartbreaking talaga ang mga nangyari. Parang ang hirap isipin kung paano sila ulit mag sisimula :(

Haaaayyyyy, anyways, I hope we all get to help in anyway possible and let us all pray continuously for our kababayans.

God will never forsake us, let us not lose hope. Prayers for our country!!!

Hello everyone! I am feeling happy seeing all the help for our kababayans, and the hope that comes with it. It may take a while bago sila fully maka recover - pero it is inevitable, they will pick up the pieces of their lives, they will recover and life will go on. Me and some PBO members volunteered sa Red Cross last Saturday and it was overwhelming seeing all the help being prepared for our kababayans. I feel so happy so ayan, I feel I can post na ulit! :)

Short lang ang post na ito, share ko lang ang ganap noong aking ika 32nd birthday! I know right, ang delayed ng post! At I know right, pwede ako sa Myra E commercial! Charot! Pero seriously most people would say I don't look my age - ang secret lang ata ay always be or always try to be happy, have positive thoughts and be childlike. Baliw for short :)

Anyways, eto na ang ganap noong aking birthday last October 30. Winelcome ko ang day sa office, with a potluck sa office. Oo, sa office. Wala akong pictures kasi wala akong bagong damit! Di ko napag handaan haha! Pero kahit wala akong bagong damit for that day ay okay lang, I felt happy dahil sa greetings at food at cake (from Marseng Joanne) For the candle I blew for the cake - I wished that I continue to be blessed with such lovely friends. Anyways, that potluck was a great start for my day :)

After shift, tulog ng ilang saglit at gising para kumain na naman! Malalang kainan naman ito! Treat ko si Patootie sa Vikings where we had lunch. Syempre dapat may picture na dito para may proof na kumain kami sa Vikings. Ayan may picture na (kahit di bago ang damit ko - sorry maarte lang :)

May cake sa Vikings pero dahil sa malapit ang birthday ko sa Araw ng mga Tigik - ayan ang design. RIP!

Buti na lang may bukod pa sa cake for me and all the other birthday celebrants.

Buti din hindi ako kinantahan ng banda ng happy birthday. Weird man, ayaw kong kinakantahan ng happy birthday. Para sa akin isa yon sa pinaka awkward na moment - kasi ano ang gagawin ko habang kinakantahan ako ng happy birthday? Kakanta din? Mag papa cute? Mag cha-cha? Weird di ba? Hahaha :) For this cake, I wished that I spend the rest of my birthdays with my sweet Patootie :)

Anyways, ang dami kong nakain as expected. Natuwa din si Patootie kasi first time nya sa Vikings. Pinagluto pa nya ako ng special sinigang - may mushrooms! Hahaha :)

I especially enjoyed this plate of maki - sobrang sarap! :)

Later that day, family time naman! I treated my family to a buffet dinner at La Travieza.

Of course, with me are my lovely parents and my papa and mama (Melanie M. ang peg ng sentence :)..

..my very matakaw brother, Ge..

..and that's my tomboy..este, that's my sister, Carla! :)

Lafang galore ang Salonga family. Ang sweet pa nila they surprised me with this!

For this cake I wished that even though we have a simple life, that my whole family will always be happy, healthy and harmonious (pinilit ang harmonious matuloy lang ang mga H :)

And I was able to end the day as I wanted to, I watched TV alone, in my lovely home. Even though I am blessed with caring friends, a loving Patootie and a lovely family, I know that I still have to spend time with my best friend - ME. I believe the best relationship that we must have is the one we have with ourselves kaya mahalaga ang ME time. Sino pa ba ang magtitiis sa akin for the past 31 years at sa mga years to come pa di ba? :)

And that was my 32nd birthday! So far so good, not a wrinkle in sight :)

More posts to come about my HHK's, ngayon mag blog hop muna ako. Thank you all for still taking time to visit my blog, for the comments at sa lahat ng bumati sa akin nung birthday ko! As always, much love to all of you! xoxo! :*

Hi everyone! Natatawa ako sa comments nyo sa previous post ko about poems I wrote years ago. Past po yun, hindi current state of mind and of heart. All is well, Noel! Born is the king of Israel! Ayan, kitams pag may mga hirit na ganyan baliw baliw na talaga.

Speaking of baliw baliw, I would like to ask all of you to welcome and follow the blog of my dear dear friend Carlo! Sya po yung magandang kasama natin sa PBO event at Bahay ni Maria. Matatagpuan ang kanyang blog DITO :)

Anyways I want to share, first of all as an intro to this post - one of my favorite sites to visit. This is P.S I Made This. This is a DIY site founded by Erica Domesek, at aliw ang site na ito kasi she makes really great and fab things out of simple things. Minsan fashion, minsan pang decor sa bahay. Nakaka inspire talaga mag DIY when you visit her site kaya nga lang alam nyo naman sa bansa natin, madaming kulang na gamit. Sa kanila kumpleto. Sila na.

Ayan po segue na ako sa DIY project ko recently! Nag linis at nag ayos ako ng shoes at nadiscover kong meron nga pala akong all black na Chuck Taylor. Mga 3 beses ko lang to nagamit kasi biglang nagka kinda red spots ( na di ko maalala kung saan nangaling ) at syempre bilang Terno Queen, mahirap naman ternuhan ang kinda red spots. Kailangan may kinda red ang outfit, e wala akong kinda red na damit, puro red lang talaga. Hence di ko na sya nagamit.

Naisip kong pinturahan ko kaya para matakpan ang kinda red paint. (INSERT BUMBILYA MOMENT HERE ) May poster paint ako at Ginoogle ko kung okay lang gamitin ang poster paint. Napunta ako sa Yahoo Answers at nakita ang napaka pilosopong sagot ni Farien3.

Oo nga naman Sarah, wala namang masama. Gow. Push yan.

So pinaint ko muna ng black ang kinda red spots. Tada! Nagka texture pa ang shoes, ang galing :)

Tapos para hindi naman plain ang shoes, sinulat sulatan ko ng kung ako ano ang inner side, using white paint. Very album cover lang ng No Doubt - Rock Steady! :)

For extra volume and bounce, i blow dry ang buhok. Este para matuyo agad, i blow dry ang newly painted shoes.

Tada! Finished product!

Ang dating shoes na may kinda red spots, ngayon lakas na maka adik! Hehe :) But I love it! So adik! So me! :)

Ayan ang aking P.S. Zai Made This! Try nyo din in case adik din kayo or may shoes kayong di nyo na gaanong feel at gustong bigyan ng bagong buhay. Sa ngayon humahanap pa ako ng tutorial kung paano lagyan ng takong ang Chucks para mas kabowg! Pwedeng pang majorette! :)

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE! Mwahs to all! :)

PBO funded a feeding program last Friday, May 10. This is through Pastor Ephraim V. Guerrero of the Pasig Community Church who was so kind to host our PBO Bazaar. He, with the Community Chest Foundation Inc, (a private, non stock, non profitable, charitable, welfare and civic organization) hold weekly feeding programs at Plaza Salamanca in Taft Avenue, Manila.

Call time for the feeding program is 8:00 am. Marseng Joanne and I went on half day at work at lumuwas to meet with other blogger volunteers and Pastor. Haggard pala ang byahe early in the morning, lalo na sa LRT1. Literal na buwis buhay! Na- disappoint kami dahil hindi kami makasakay sa dami ng tao kaya ~~tumalon na lang kami sa riles~~ nag jeep na lang kami.

We had some issues meeting up with Pastor kasi hindi sya nag re-reply sa texts or tawag. And there was no sign of an on going feeding program anywhere at the plaza. After waiting for a while, I finally spotted him talking to a group of kids. Nang inapproach ko at kwinentong hindi ko sya macontact, hindi daw nya kasi dala ang cellphone. Very good si Pastor, ang cute cute :)

Anyways, before we gave food to the kids - Pastor told them a lovely story about flowers. Some of the kids were listening intently and some...were just being kids, harutan ng harutan :)

This cute girl caught all our attention, she's just so cute :)

She reminds me of a cute baby duck :)

Naloka ako dito sa batang to, he asked me to take a picture of him and said "Kuya tag mo ako ha?" Ako naman, halong mangha at taas isang kilay "May Facebook ka?" "Oo search mo ako, Ornix Sta. Maria" Napatango na lang ako, ang taray ng bata! At syempre hindi ko sya ma-search at ma tag kasi di ko maalala kung ano nga yung first name nya. Basta sounds like Ornix - lakas maka Pokemon :)

I had to stop taking their pictures kasi naistorbo ang story telling ni Pastor :)

After Pastor's story telling portion, we all said a prayer. It is really nice knowing these kids are taught the importance of prayer. They also are taught to be appreciative and thankful. Pastor said aside from the food, they would like to impart values to the kids.

Sampung Palakpak! :)

After the prayer, the kids were given food - a meal of rice, a hotdog and egg. We also gave them goodie bags with simple snacks.

And then that was it! It was such a fast program, we were all surprised it finished so quickly. We had to say bye bye to the kids, and of course to the cute little girl who reminds me of a cute baby duck :)

Picture picture with Pastor! Thanks for giving us a chance to share and experience being with these kids even for a short while.

For those interested to also fund or support Community Chest Foundation Inc, you can contact them via their Facebook page - here.

The fund we provided for the feeding apparently is for 2 feeding sessions so we have one more feeding program in June. Date is to be announced when Pastor gives me the date. I'll keep you all posted - and I hope you can experience it too :)

And now - meet the volunteers! :)

Syempre, present ang PBO's most beautiful and handsome members - Me, Marseng Joanne, Sis Arline and Pao. First time namin ma-meet at dagdag sa most beautiful and handsome members sina Chard at Caryl! Really nice meeting them, they're happy people just like us. I want to thank you personally for being members of PBO and for being there last Friday. Same thank you sa inyo Marse, Arline and Pao. Isang Thank You song ng SM para sa inyo!! Sampung palakpak na din!! :)

And that was our simple yet fulfilling outreach! Thank you all for your support and stay tuned for more outreach programs to come. As always, much love from me to all of you!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY SA LAHAT NG MOMMY! AT SA LAHAT NG MOMMY NYO! :*

Yoohoo! Nakaka pagod recently, ang daming ganap! Miss ko na matulog buong araw. Anyways, I want to say SORRY because I haven't been able to visit your blogs - super busy and exhausted recently, pero babawi ako I promise :) And I thank you for still visiting my blog despite me not being able to visit yours. Thank you! :*

Now, share ko lang ang biglaang trip namin sa Tagaytay last, last weekend, with my beautiful yet patay gutom friends, Marseng Joanne and Carl Kalabaw :) Eto ang mga ganap! :)

PICNIC SA...SAAN PA? E DI SA PICNIC GROVE :)

Pag dating ng Tagaytay at pagka check in sa hotel, derecho na kami sa Picnic Grove! Php 50 ang entrance at P150 ang rent sa picnic hut :) You can get to the Picnic Grove via a tricycle from any point, in case wala kayong sasakyan..pwede ding lakarin kung gusto nyo magka third degree burns.

Syempre may fashion blog portion, What I Wore : hat from SM department store; mint green shirt from Bachelors Pad; gray jeans from Bench, slippers from Nike and bag from Shopwise :)

Hanap hanap kami ng hut!

At nahanap namin ang perfect hut, with this lovely view of the Taal Volcano :)

Dahil gusto ko bongga lagi, I prepared a fab picnic! With flowers talaga para achieve!:)

Tada! Tawang tawa sina Marse at Carl sa set up ko haha

Ang aming handa : Chicken Tortilla Casserole Overload - has twice the amount of everything! Sobrang bigat tuloy sa tyan haha :)

We also has Pizza by Marse, a bucket of Chicek Joy courtesy of Carl, Peach Panna Cotta by me and Oreo Cheesecake by Marse. Daming food! Sa dami di pa naubos naming mga patay gutom hehe :)

Tamang tawanan, anchahan, pikpakan lang kami sa Picnic Grove. Good fun with my lovely friends, good food and a lovely view - ah it was a perfect picnic! :)

ANONG PAREHO SA MUSHROOM BURGER AT SA FERRIS WHEEL?

Pagka picnic at pagka pahinga ng very mild (with hilik hilik sa side) ay pumunta kami sa Mushroom Burger - to try their famous burgers! Ang layo ng hotel namin sa Mushroom Burger - Php200 ba naman ang bayad sa tricycle! Anyways, Mushroom Burger is at 60 Brgy Kaybagal, Tagaytay-Batangas Highway. Keri gorahan via tricycle, upakan nyo na lang yung driver after sabay takas ng maka iwas sa Php200.

What I Wore : bonnet from Greenhills, hooded long sleeved shirt from Cotton On and shorts from Leixing (hahaha)

What I ate! :) I had the Royal Burger which is for Php105 and came with a regular sized drink and regular sized fries. The burger patty is actually a combination of beef and mushrooms - and the burger itself tastes YUMMY! No wonder it is famed :)

Syempre hindi pwedeng yun lang ang kainin ko - I also had an order of Pancit Canton Delight - topped with yummy mushrooms, for Php95. This is as delicious, the mushrooms gave it a twist.

Here is the rest of the menu! You should definitely give it a try pag napadpad kayo sa Tagaytay :)

See, tuwang tuwa ang aking shutay tomi friends :)

After ng lapukan portion, A Walk to Remember kami ng very mild at tada! Nasa Sky Ranch na kami! We are going to ride the tallest Ferris Wheel found here :)

For more info about the Sky Ranch, you can visit their FB page here..and the rates, sa picture below :)

The Tagaytay Eye or Sky Eye is the currently the tallest Ferris Wheel dito sa Philippines! It stands 207 feet - 33 na ako ang katumbas! O talagang kinompute ko di ba hahaha :) Next lang dito ang MOA Eye na 180 feet.

Bongga ng lights ng Tagaytay Eye, lakas maka fresh :)

The ride btw is for Php150, one spin (spin talaga haha) that lasts for about 10 minutes. Syempre di kami natigil, nag look up pa rin kami! :)

Super fun night! Madami pang rides sa Sky Ranch, kung gusto nyong mag amusement park bigla habang nasa Tagaytay, aba alam nyo na! :)

HONEY, AM I IN HAVEN?

Ang aming home for out Tagaytay overnighter ay ang...tada!!!

Mura lang namin nakuha ang room, Php1,500 booked via Agoda. Medyo malayo sa usual Tagaytay spots pero ang ganda naman talaga ng hotel at ng rooms. May bonggang garden pa at pool! Pool na pinag handaan namin pero wala palang tubig! Kalurks! :)

This is our room from the outside. The rooms are made of container vans thought pagpasok mo sa loob, room na room ang dating. Gulo ko mag explain no? Haha :)

Dahil di makapag swimming, nag pikpakan na lang kami. At syempre, What I Wore : hat from SM department store; yellow tank from Coco Cabana and shorts from Taytay Tiangge :)

Really lovely hotel, I actually want to go back there someday! :) Anyways, check out time na at kailangan na naming umuwi. But wait! Isang look up pa! :)

Palabas namin ng hotel, na-confirm kong uso na nga ang look up! Tignan nyo tong si Froggy! Hahaha! :)

And that is it! Thanks for coming along our fun and bitin trip to Tagaytay. Pag may time, try nyo din ang look up, nakaka alis sya ng stress! AT kung medyo malaman ka, mapapa tunayan mo pang may leeg ka pa pala! Di ba bongga :) Thanks for reading you all and have a great week ahead.

Much love from me, to all of you! :*

Hello hello everyone! Today sa post na ito ay sha-share ko sa inyo ang loob ng aking newly painted home.

Dati ko pa nasabing hindi ko feel na bahay ko na talaga ang bahay ko hangang hindi sya gray (arte lang, kunwari sosyal) and I'm glad to say na ngayon feel ko na bahay ko na talaga sya! Oh yes!

Tutal naman ay favorite ko ang moon, ang pinili kong shade ng paint ay Moonstone Gray at white naman para sa lahat ng ibang bagay. Para fresh lang ang colors. Eto na ang pictures..ika nga ni Korina..handa na ba kayo?! :)

Ang aking closet, mirror at board of pictures :)

Ang aking kitchen and my white cabinets! :)

White na din ang aking table :)

My desk ek-ek! :)

My ever growing collection of framed pictures! :)

My Totoro banyo! Pinaint ko si Totoro ng matakot ang mga kingin@ng mga gagamaba na yan! Mga hayop! Alam ng takot ako sa gagamba, sa bubong pa namahay!

Anyways...kaya lang ang cute ni Totoro, baka mag pa-picture lang ang mga gagamba! Buti na lang may resbak pa, si little dog Tommy.

Ang cute din pala ni Tom, baka sya pa matakot sa gagamba. Ano ba yan lahat na lang kami sa bahay na'to cute! Hahaha :)

And that is how my home looks like now - just how I like it :) Special thank you to Patootie who helped me paint the kitchen! Kahit may picture ako ng aking crush - the late Koh Masaki, ikaw lang ang aking love :)

Speaking of Patootie, he made this list on our first monthsary - a list of things to do. For 2013 lang dapat e kapos sa time, so extended yan! Pang 1 year na! Ay may DONATE BLOOD TOGETHER PALA! Pang 50 years na to, takot ako sa injection!

Isa pa lang ang nagawa namin, ang BREAK A LAW TOGETHER - yan ay matapos humarurot sa motor si Tikboy habang hinarang kami ng pulis dahil wala kaming helmet haha :)

Ngayon, dalawa na ang na Check na Check sa Patootie List - pang number 2 ang CREATE A SIGNATURE DISH! :) Ang ginawa namin ay ang Patootie Ramen. Signature to kasi may carrot na korteng P at may carrot din na korteng heart. At ito lang ata ang lito na ramen kasi mukha syang mami hahahaha :)

Syempre may oh my gulay; carrots, Baguio beans, mushrooms, wansoy, Chinese cabbage..

..at syempre may noodles. Kung puro gulay e di salad lang yun. Hindi namin alam kung ano nga palang type ng noodles ang pang ramen kaya lomi ang binili namin. Very mami tuloy ang peg :)

Pero syempre masarap ang Patootie ramen, mainit, masabaw at puno ng pag mamahal. Hindi man sya sinigang, sya ay may asim kilig!!!! :)

BTW kung napansin nyo, sa Patootie List ay may EXCERCISE AND STAY FIT TOGETHER - kung STAY FAT na lang sana yun aba e di sana tatlo na nagawa namin haha :)

At ayan lang po ang gusto kong i-share sa inyo. Ay eto pa pala..may rainbow nung isang araw, ang saya lang. Totoo ngang may rainbow pag katapos ng....kasal ng tikbalang :)

Have a great day y'all! Mwahs! :)
