P.S.

Happy 78^th Monthsary Lab!!!

Anyhoo, yun so dahil super love niya ang spa sa Batam, dahil kinukuskos lahat ng kasingit-singitan na part ng katawan niya, yun na lang binigay ko.  Hehehe.

Here are the pics of the Batam Trip.

By the way, this trip was supposed to be a part of the big surprise I was planning.  Pero syempre, dahil ang hirap niya i-surprise, nabuko niya din ako.  Dahil nang-gagalaw siya ng laptop ng may laptop.  Eh may laptop naman siya!  Hhmmph!  Kenis!

When we arrived on Sunday afternoon from Batam, we went to Vivo City to have dinner at Wood Bar and Restaurant with Weng.  The place was really really sosyal.  As in nagulat kami kasi ang ganda ng ambience.  Pricey pero the food is super sarap!!!  As in super sarap.  Maliit ang servings pero ang sarap talaga e.  Hahaha. Ang kulit e noh.  Pero super sarap talaga e. Tapos the food in their menu were mostly grilled over wood (thus, the name Wood) kaya healthy din.  Ang sarap, you should try it.   And syempre, dahil sosi place, mega red wine din kami.  Hahaha.  Para mukhang sosyal.  Hahaha.  Here are some of our pics at Wood.

Anyway, on his exact birthday, I decided to make it a Day of Surprises.  Sadly, di ko nagawa lahat ng plans ko.  Pano kasi, a day before his birthday, my sugar level dropped to 70-80mg/dl, which is really bad for a diabetic like me.  Kasi when my sugar level is really low, I tend to get nauseous.  So the day before, I was really feeling weak and dizzy and I had to take a few trips to the comfort room to vomit.  

 Ang 2nd plan ko pa naman was to buy him coffee from Coffee Bean (his current fave coffee) at the airport (dahil yun lang ang bukas na branch ng mga 5AM) and serve him breakfast in bed.  Tapos syempre, I wasn’t able to do that kasi I was not feeling well.  Anyway, the other surprises, I was able to pull through.  2^nd surprise (supposed to be 3^rd), I had a balloon and cake delivered to his office which mukhang dina naman nasurprise ang loko.  Arrggg… Sabi niya he was kinda expecting it but he was still surprised at the same time.  Waahhh!  Kenis talaga!  3^rd surprise (supposed to be 4^th), I had a coffee hamper delivered to his office in the afternoon, just in time for their tea break. 

 Here are some of his pictures at the office.

 This is Gil’s last birthday as a binata. Mwahahaha.  Ina-ask ko nga siya kung diba siya biglang nagka-wedding jitters e nung narealize niya yun.  Hahaha. 

 Anyway,  happy birthday Baby!!!  Hope you had a good one!

We decided to push through with our wedding on May 9, 2009.  Sabi nila mommy, bahala na daw. Di naman daw siguro papabayaan ni Lord na di daw sila maka-attend ng wedding namin.  Pero syempre, I have to ready myself na rin if they choose to stay in Manila with Ate Joan, just in case she gives birth on the day of my wedding.  Well that's life...

We tried naman to move the wedding eh.  Kaya lang yung mga available na dates, either di kami pede (dahil month of lipat/renewal namin dito sa condo) or di pede ang supplier na super gusto namin (so we can lose our DP - nnooooo!) or ayaw ni Lord (like Black Saturday or typhoon months na.  And it is NOT a very good idead to have a wedding in Baguio during the typhoon months.  Baka pati ako di pumuntang Baguio kung may may bagyo sa wedding ko noh!)  Hehehe.  Haaayyy... 

So after a few days of crying and headaches, we just decided to go for it. 

May 9 2009 is the perfect day, relatively good weather, pede lahat ng suppliers namin and higit sa lahat, may meaning ang date for us.  It will be our 7th Anniversary.  

Bahala na si Batman!

April 11 is Black Saturday!   Am I bound to be unmarried forever?????

We are checking with Clarice if it can be April.  April kasi kapag later than May na, typhoon months na.  I do not think anyone will be crazy enough to go to Baguio when there is typhoon noh.  Kahit ako di ako pupunta sa sariling kasal ko kung bumabagyo.  Hahaha.  Joke. 

We are currently looking at April 11.  Sana pede pa ang mga suppliers by then.  Kasi kung hindi, may possibility daw na hindi namin mabawi ang deposits.  Oh no! No! NOOOO!!!!  *sigh*

Kung hindi naman April, di na pwede June-October kasi daw typhoon months na sabi ni Clarice.  So malamang November or December na.  *sigh ulit*

Ang dami kasing kelangan i-consider eh, like weather,  suppliers’ availability at higit sa lahat budget.  *sigh sigh ulit*

Changing the venue is not an option for us.  Mas magaan sa loob ko na palitan ang date kesa venue. 

You maybe wondering why we are changing dates.  We don’t want to risk e.  Kasi po dalawa lang kaming magkapatid.  So kung magkataon na kasal ko at manganak si ate, I don’t want to put my parents on the spot and make them choose.  Kasi alam ko naman talaga na my parents will not leave my sister alone kung manganganak siya.  Ayoko lalo na kasalin na wala ang parents ko sa tabi ko.  So mas okay na sa safe na date.  Kung papalitan naman kasi naming ang venue, hindi naman namin mababago ang due date ni ate e.  Pede pa din siyang manganak anytime so mas ok na talaga na baguhin ang date.  *sigh sigh sigh ulet*

Syempre these are all worth it for my pamangkin. 

Readings from last Sunday:

Ezekiel 33:7-9 (New International Version)

New International Version (NIV)

Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society

7 "Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; so hear the word I speak and give them warning from me. 8 When I say to the wicked, 'O wicked man, you will surely die,' and you do not speak out to dissuade him from his ways, that wicked man will die for ^[a] his sin, and I will hold you accountable for his blood. 9 But if you do warn the wicked man to turn from his ways and he does not do so, he will die for his sin, but you will have saved yourself.

There is a need for us to stand up for what is holy and right that will help others to turn away from sin because if we don't we are as guilty as the sinner for the sins he commits, and WE will be held accountable.  

Sad but true.  Unfair but this is the word of the Lord.  

Let us pray that we will always have the courage to tell people what sin they are committing to help.  Then all of us will be saved. 

Wala lang, I just want to rant about PAL.  Kasi naiinis ako sa kanila.  Kapag nagpapa-promo sila, like ngayun, yung Miles + Cash nila, ang unti-unti ng slots.  Tapos ang bilis-bilis pa maexpire ng miles noh!  Kenis!  Sabagay lahat naman ng airlines, pa-epek lang ang mga promo.  Hindi siya promo e, ang tawag lucky dip.  Kung sinong swerteng makakuha, panalo.  Leche!

Orton was a cross-breed of a Labrador and an askal owned by a very good friend.   I cannot remember who came first, Orton or Ginger.  But they came to both our lives almost at the same time.  He was as makulit as Ginger and was a walking disaster as well.  I believe, I influenced my friend in giving his name Orton (I used to like Randy Orton, the wrestler, way way back – when he was not yet a villain in WWE).  And I was actually the ninang of Orton and he was the ninong of Ginger.  I used to say na when they grow-up, we will make them meet.  But that didn’t happen, because Orton was sent to the province na.  And when I came to Singapore, Ginger was also sent to the province because my not so nice neighbour is claiming he has asthma!  Duh!   Kakalipat lang sa katabi namin, feeling may-ari na ng buong subdivision.  Arrggg...  So no choice but to send Ginger to the province where she would have lots of space to run and be free. 

But this morning, I was surprised about the news... Orton died and my friend does not know the reason why.  *sigh*  How depressing. 

My friend made this electronic gravestone (wattaterm!) for him...

 Borrowing the words of my friend, you will be missed Orton!

Meron akong kaopisina, umaga palang wala nang ginawa kundi bumuntung-hininga at tumatat (yung tsk tsk tsk).  As in mga wala pang isang oras pagdating niya, naririnig ko na siya.  Parang pasan ang mundo.  At tuwing tutunog ang telepono nya, sasabihin "Haayy!" o kaya "Tsk!".  Naiirita ako. Sobrang inis ko pag naririnig ko siya, nagi-ear phones ako tapos full blast yung sounds.  Kaya lang di ko naman alam kung may parating ba sa likod ko.  Baka makita ang meebo ko!  Hahaha.  Kaka-stress!

Meron pang isa, ayaw niyang magbigay ng leave sa Christmas at New Year.  Kasi daw ina daw siya.  Parang hello!  Anak din naman kami.  Ulila ba kami at siya lang may karapatan magleave ng pasko at new year.  Last year, tagal na din niya nagleave.  Nagleave din siya ng buong Christmas vacation at New Year.  Umuwi lang siya dito before New Year dahil mahal daw ang pamasahe.  Pero  after na din ng New Year siya pumasok. Hino-horde ang lahat ng holidays.  Last year, di na nagleave si Jho kasi wedding niya sa December.  Eh syempre a-attend ako ng wedding niya noh!  Sabi nga ni amo, package deal kami.  So ayaw niyang magbigay.  Gusto niya talaga magleave ng Christmas at New Year.  Eh nakiusap nga kami na New Year kami leave kasi ang wedding ni Jho, December 30.  Ayaw nya, sabi niya "Di ako magi-gib ap!"  Hello naman, isang beses lang ikakasal yung tao, parang super understood naman na a-attend ako ng wedding niya.  Pero ayaw niya talaga kahit madami pang pasko at bagong taon noh! Hehehe.  Prinsipyo niya daw ang nakasalalay. Please lang, kung prinsipyo niya eh makasama ang pamilya niya sa lahat ng Holidays, dapat di siya nagOFW.
Eto pa ang hirit: Kayo kaya niyong dalhin pamilya niyo dito.  Excuse me lang, ang pamilya ko nagdadala sa sarili nila dito, di ako ang nagbabayad!  Saka ano ba yung, sa lagay di na kami pedeng mag-leave ever kasi kaya naman magbayad ng pamilya namin papunta dito sa Singapore.  Paawa pa ang drama!  Ano ito, PBB???  Mahirap lang ang nananalo.  So dito, kapag may-kaya, walang karapatang mag-leave!   Duhhh!!!  Sugapa sa leave!  

Sana pag kinasal ang anak niya eh walang maging kaopisinang gaya niya.  Damot!!!
