Mom in Law. ( sepsep)
For I could pour out anything to her and in return she could pour out anything to me. Money, family disputes, weaknesses- just anything. Of course we had our fair share of misunderstandings in the past- but because of how we become brutally frank- we became the best of what we are today. She is sooo full of life with a young disposition regardless of age. So , when am down and out, I turn to her to share a good laugh and my heart lightens up. She is the kind that doesn’t really care what other people say- she focuses on what is required of her in given circumstances. She is a mother of 4 boys, grandma of 3 , widow and happy!
Her best: Generosity

The Singapore Ladies
I like the way they celebrate womanhood. They go out and really do themselves. Dresses I believe is more sought of here than long pants, slacks, etc. That is the reason why beauty saloon , make up and kakikayan is expensive here- bec…women chase for it! I had a very simple hair cut 2 weeks ago for 16 bucks, gosh- that is 470 pesos. What a fish! I miss getting my nails it’s well deserved manicure and pedicure- although Chuck told me I should go to pamper myself, I just can’t take yet paying around 25bucks = 750 pesos.

Music from Coldplay.
Perhaps, I am a late bloomer in terms of music but yeah- this is my new liking and hooked up to it.

Money.
I know why God gave me the opportunity to earn more this year- I had to give enormously. Chuck and I may not have all the liquidity we need but we surely are on the right track. Give more and you will receive more. Promise..it works for me, just keep generosity alive when you have the means and I don’t guarantee you it will come back like an investment- but i assure you of this overflowing blessing coming in. It could be a mere feeling of surviving on grace, it is just so amazing!

Stock Trading.
i like the idea of trading soon. But here’s the principle my friend shared. For as long as you have money in your bank account that could afford your operating exp for 6 months, go ahead, invest the remainder! Take risks!

Monday mornings are inevitably challenging for me and Chy. Firstly, because we don’t look forward to Mondays and I am the one who should send her to school early to start the week right. Today, wasn’t bad. She woke up and we chat about Transformers 2 and yeah..had to keep the ball rolling to keep her entertained, otherwise, she will go back to bed. So, we discuss about Bumble Bee, and the rise of Prime from dead. And came the mysterious question—-

” Ma, bakit walang babaeng Robot? ” panic moment ko to.

Mama: Kasi, mahihirapan mag wee-wee pag girl na robot kc uupo pa un eh. Ngeks…., my quick reply.

Ikaw, what would be your clever response?

I am..sabi ko na nga ba..nasa akin ang swerte ngaun sa mga extra extra ko sa buhay.
See it yourself, I am named as a winner of an EZ Link card worth 50 bucks! My, thank you Lord!

Last weekend, we have saved 30 bucks for 3 movie tickets to watch Transformers 2. In my personal view, the first installment of the movie is not surpassed. We actually watched the first at home by the time were home for Chy’s sake and I noticed change in how Megan Fox looked. It is the nguso thing that is quite intimidating in Part 2. ( huh—may binabagayan talaga ata yan, bagay sya kay megan pero di pa ako kumbinsido kay pops)
Next in Line! Harry Potter.

And finally, The Dora show ( second time). Todo video si mama para ma i review…as we don’t know when Dora is coming back in SG!

Iba talaga ang airport dito sa SG….Child friendly..Aside from that Dora show, they also put up a kid’s corner where kids could laze around and watch their fave cartoon shows!

Very good…they should leave their slippers before hitting the mat. I do not know with you but have been very conscious with the idea that slippers used outside cannot make the grand entrance in!

I am starting to embark to new horizons, my greater heights! Do the initial little leg work to achieve my future!

I am a bit anxious given that I don’t have experience on this - so for tomorrow, I am armed with my willingness to learn and passion to make this happen!

If God allows me to do this- then I could continue my schooling with sponsorship from the school that will hire me at no extra pay. However, the only lingering question now is - how much is my earning out of this? Could I survive SG? I will know tomorrow. Maybe.

Life has a bunch of choices for me- I just need to know to grab it .
Thank you Lord, you made my life so much a source of inspiration. Sorry for being so difficult at times!
=======================================================
note: i am wondering why most of Leona Lewis songs are about being heartbroken. she indeed has a fantastic voice. marie digby’s collection is a must - listen! Thanks to Joan’s spare ipod. pwede ang Wii ihatag nimo namo? hahahha
=======================================================

let me remind you that there are things you just have to let go.
So, focus on your priorities. Never mind the hassle, the inconsistencies, non-conformity of your stds- all will be well. No, it is not a promise but then, we have been trying so much lately on how to just ignore the little stuffs- move on ..go on…To heck with impossibility- yes, you can. Be brave and go! You are a survivor!

PS. We will survive.

things are hard to understand. the more you linger to it, the more incomprehensible it becomes no matter what. why? is it hard to accept in the first place? so, it starts with ACCEPTANCE, eventually UNDERSTANDING.
———————–end of drama saga—————————-

i can’t stand;
1. seeing the it …….
2. the boredom……
3. the room with AC not functioning well- getting hot in here!
4. myself today

feelings nothing more than being unwell. Confirmed, I am 100% human as am on a roller coaster of emotions. teka- buntis ba ako? hehehe….cannot imagine but am actually at the lowest ebb of my emotions.

Because of you, I couldn’t plan our HK trip.

sleepy me. why?
Damn—-if only I could stop my heart from beating fast. That unknown phone call in the middle of the night sucks! I wouldn’t mind if it is an emergency call. Damn it!

STOP the non-sense.

Dinayo ni Chy si Dora sa terminal 3 last Friday!

I have finished my new fascination.

Dada’s reward after a day’s work.

Kalami mouli sa bukid. Wishing this is my farm and am picking fresh vegetables!

Winners Week 2 (1 Pair of Movie Tickets) courtesy of Listerine.

I won or my name won. Joan did the dirty work though but here’s an observation-  since I started to change my name to Baquial-luck started to run into my veins when it comes to raffle draws. If I remembered it right there were 2 instances - one was a one night stay in a luxurious hotel back in Manila and the second one I couldn’t remember but I think it was a luxurious freebie as well. This one , no matter how small - I really celebrate because, I basically feel that my luck is back. So, come end of July, there might be some good newsies again- one, the grand draw which is 3D2N weekend resort getaway for two to either Bali, Bintan or Cherating and the draw I just joined today after our laptop purchase with the chance to win a Chevrolet! Walah…….

goodluck to me!:-)

My girl in her uniform from her new school. She said- she is excited and may wane next week coz it wouldn’t be new na daw. arte mo talaga Chy.

at my PA ka pa!

Belated post to tell the world, that my man turned 31.

And since it is June- bday and father’s day in one month- he got what he wanted- kung ano yun, SECRET….

PS. dada, ang wish ko lang sa bday ko ay breakfast in bed.  But not the Jurong East platform- maybe Sentosa?ieeww..ang mahal, pang shopping na nga lang!

Many thanks to those who came despite the very short notice- etong asawa ko kasi, pag nag desisyon, a night before his bday, so, me in a changed disposition- never panicked and said- yeah, we can, let us buy foodie then- I can’t cook eh. It was Thursday, so most of the guests need to retire early for work on the next day.  Chy took this photo just before we wrapped up our munting salo-salo at 11. Hehehe..wala lang.

Joan is back in Bohol and right now making me inggit of the new look of our simple habitat there. Can’t wait to see my room and my Pxxxxx ( inutang nga bed), sabi nya looks like candy daw ang second floor-even more intrigued na may halong inggit now.

on track. Why all of a sudden am becoming the person i love to hate.
C’mon, how dare you , trying to pull me down to this senseless direction.

No, don’t get me wrong- I am actually talking to myself.
Along came Chy……

Somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly……Chy comes away with me on dreamland, my sweet escape from REALITY.

“i love beer”- shan-

“we love beer” - shan&chy -

” i’m drunk ” - chy -

Gosh- for the longest time ever- no “palo” for almost a month. Wow..

But she was at a brink tonight- her response was in time for the first blow of dada’s infamous belt. Yay….kasakit! wala ra bitaw madayon.

But she said : Ma, sleepy na kasi ako.
And the belt stopped to function as one.

Haaaay….no easy way to raise a child and not easy to be parents.

There will be more…more growing and crying times.
==========================================
Omni Theater @ Science Center
We watched this very huge =larger than life documentary on the making of Space Station, we wanted to watch Sea Monsters- it would have been enjoyable for Chy but it was fully booked. So , hanggang pix nalang mi and I promised her that we would go back ( when our budget permits)

you are in a bus with trees breezing through your eyes, I am not with my New Moon ( Twilight series) today as I decided to shift with ipod as my company this morning. Play Colbie Caillat songs , oh..what a beautiful day + it is Friday!

I am half awake actually and all I could think of - is Chy. We were browsing through her clips last night- when she was a year and half old and how amazing she is…well, one thing never changed- she is this sweet beautiful little baby. I was misty eyed while walking through memory lane. I hope I could add one more to our lahi, I don’t care if I will be a bit older by that time. Perhaps a little Chuck this time. Somebody more reserved. ( hahhahaaha)

Hang in there sweetie, let us have this ride of a lifetime!
