Kamusta ang pasko nyo?


December 26, 2008

christmas 2008 would have been a big let down just for the fact that i spent most of it alone and at work (sige, taas kilay na...). i also never got to receive as much gifts as i usually do, nor had i had the time to do my christmas shopping too, which i find gratifying once i finish my list and knew i got everybody something they wanted or didn't know that they wanted. hehe!

but then i still can't bring myself to feel bad. how can i when i feel so blessed, blessed with people who loves me, blessed with great food (mama's here, so i have my kare kare for christmas..yeeeeaaaahhh!!!) and blessed with red horse. (picture me at the grocery spotting a tower of red horse, my version of giant christmas tree lang,, hahahahahaha!)

no, but seriously, there's nothing like being with your loved ones on Christmas, there was a moment (when i wasn't alone or at work) when i just look around me and watch all the commotion take place like i was watching a movie. mama cooking her famous karekare in the kitchen, paulo grilling like mad outside, the kids running and squealing around the house, my sisters and the rest trying to chase and calm them down, friends singing karaoke so loud you could hear it from a mile away, the cold winter breeze burning my face and keeping my beer cold at the same time...it was chaos, a war zone, but i loved it.

that's christmas right there, the sight, sound, taste, smell, feel...sure i had to leave early, and yes, i missed watching the kids open their presents, but then again, who was i to complain, i had my christmas wish, i got more than that actually. so yeah, try anything you can think of that can ruin my mood and see how far it would take you, as for this lady, i don't think there ever will be anything to stop me from being happy and contented -- not even my body bending dysmenorrhea :D

So Merry Christmas everyone! And i sincerely hope and pray you had what you wished for, like me :D

Who's going to Maui??



















I am! i Am!!!! weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh!!!!!

whale watching, falls and beaches photo shoot, cliff jumping (kung keri), star gazing and sunrise watching at a volcano crater (kahit mag-isa akong aakyat kakaririn ko talaga!!), around the island cruisin, snorkling/diving at a marine sanctuary (i have to check how much and if the weather and surf is favorable,,but..omg)...ocean view condo... 3 days of beach.. and the best part is, NO WORK!! waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!!!

AYLAVEEET!!!!

so alot of people have been askin, how does it feel like to be married? honestly? it feels kind of the same to me,, still very much happy,, and its nice to have someone, a constant, now that im so far from my family and friends. (well besides cha, but i barely see her too because of work).

i just hope things will only get better from here. I'm positive it will be. mababaw lang naman kami pareho. Even solving the daily newspaper "unscramble the words" puzzle together is a treat. (how dorky, right? but that's our thing) or just lounging and watching animal planet or national geographic, or youtube-ing. planning is also nice, things i can add up to my long list. but this time i share it with him :)

im not the mushy type, never was. i mean, yeah, id like to get that kind of attention sometimes but id like it to be kept at a minimum or at least not make it too...too much of an effort. that's what i like about us. we're both like that. coz we both appreciate the small things more than the big gestures.

like preparing his lunch, or refilling my glass, or moving his truck, or buying my favorite drink, or cooking for each other.

i don't like all those flowers and chocolates and cheesy lines. gusto ko simple pero rock! hahaha! 

like me saying "i hate you" after losing in a card game, and him answering "i love you, so its ok" in front of his friends then grinning at me for acting like a kid,, not an "i'll give you the moon and the stars" kind.

so if you'd ask me again how's the bewly wed and what does it feel like being married, i'd say its the same, its great, im very happy, and i know by how things are going, that it will only get better.
