We were in church today for the Ash Wednesday mass which leads me to the realization that…..I must be dreaming that the 3 of us is stepping on Sydney lands.

Well, if ang aking pagiging dreamy lang ang pa iiralin, well, I could move here next month but much to my dismay, we have to cater for the practical side of life—–and that’s surviving Sydney. Well, based on experience, never pa Nya ako pinabayaan.

Am mesmerized- doing my readings, researches, etc. Mixed emotions. I am working from home ( again ) today so I can do my other research of Australia! I can’t wait to step on the land of Oz next year.

It would be an adventure for my family. Yeah..in February we have one goal in mind- to familiarize the country and imagine—it is HOME.
Imagine Chy furthering her studies with various options, she could be a member of Hi-5! And I could procreate a younger generation- we could drive around the country , spend bbq nights with friends while our kids are playing in the backyard. Hahhahhaa…Wake me up, I am dreaming!

Can’t wait.

In addition, am also excited of my US trip on Friday. Am currently drooling on Coach Bags ( forgive my vanity!) but yeah..i could buy 2. Wake me up, am dreaming all over! hahhahahha

Yesssssh—toughest days in a Finance person’s life.
I really want to be a pre-school teacher and an entrepreneur

Maybe- when millions come into our bank account.
If that comes, I could construct my own school and surround myself with kids. I will own a farm and grow veggies and fruities on it. I am dreaming. I am half awake. Don’t wake me up!

It suddenly rained hard last night-making SG temperature tolerable today. You only need an electric fan to make u sleep. It is beautiful. I had a wonderful nap while my daughter was very busy watching, re-watching ICE AGE 3 for the nth time. We had a late bfast, so I dont worry about our lunch just yet. It is SUNDAY- a beautiful time to rest while Chy is on her random rantings about the future.

Like—
she wants to be a ballerina teacher
she wants to marry and wants to be a wife while she is still thinking of who will be her hubby
she likes children
she wants to become a mother
she will take care of Shan when her mother gets a job
she doesn’t want to go to office

We both are lazy in bed today. She actually awaken while I was in the middle of this writing and now–she is back dozed off in bed while classic Christmas songs are playing in itunes.

I guess like me-she is tired, we went to Ethel’s party last night and she had fond mem’ries of Pipit- a male dwarf rabbit, Ethel’s pet.

I am actually undecided yet on where we go for her bday while our renewed passports are not in yet.

I am very much interested in high -ceiling nowadays!
Wish ko lang interior ng bahay ko to.

I thank Daphne Osena’s website for this photo. Sorry , had to grab it. It is irresistible!
and i dream of pretty yellow roses!

And this photo is from an interior designer’s blog- which I am so fond of.

i already love your work.

This is my new fave blog- I Wrote This For You

You get to choose the people you like. Not the people you love.
===
And then my soul saw you and it kind of went “Oh there you are. I’ve been looking for you.”
===
Fuck it. You throw a dart at a map, we’ll go there and start new. Somewhere else in the world that’s not here. Somewhere where we haven’t said things to each other that we can’t unsay and done things which we can’t undo.

There we can say new things. We can do new things. And those new things we say and do will be more important than the old things. Let’s leave. Please. Leave with me.
===
The universe made you the way you are.

Which is why it loves you, just the way you are.

===
You are worth so much more than you give yourself credit for.

Charge accordingly.
===
Mourn what you lost. Celebrate what you had.

All things come to an end. Just as all things come to a beginning.

====
Not until you understand that to want is not to need and that love is meant for people, not things.

===
You can never lose yourself so much that I won’t find you. And remind you of what it felt like to be here.
===
It’s no coincidence. I play that song around you so maybe you’ll actually listen to the lyrics for once and know how I feel.

Remembered when I was younger- I always have a pen a small booklet with me and write short stitches like this and re-read it until I find a situation in my life where I could apply it. I just lost that art.
Finding this - is like finding who I am then.

Finally, napanood ko na din sya. Thanks Kent for the DL.

I find myself crying in the first part of the films, maybe because it involves scene of kids living in slums, became orphan and got exploited. Whilst an Indian film, it depicts a Filipino “isang kahig, isang tuka”  setting.

If the film were created the Filipino way, according to me, the stars would have been:

Game show Host - no doubt would have be Boyet de Leon

Salim- Robin Padilla

Latika- Kaye Abad or Alessandra da Rossi

Jamal - John Lloyd or Gerald Anderson

boss ni Salim- Johnny Delgado

Nyahahhaa…glad it is Friday!

Each time I dream, I make it look and sound dramatic so that when it gets fulfilled- whatta BOOM. I celebrate like I have never been victorious my whole life. That life is getting better! And every time I fall, I could easily convince myself that the failure I experienced now is just 10% of the victories I have rejoiced. So, why fret? I have worked hard to keep positive attitude towards life, I used to be a NEGA—-until I met another NEGA and that is my husband. Hehhee…Batteries are powered both positive and negative to ignite and that’s how our tango worked well. I should say that his negativity is workin pretty well to my advantage.

When it comes to finances, I am the loser. But Chuck, geared with the vision of what may lie ahead taught me to save for rainy days. So, when I came to work here in SG, he set the record straight,
” your money goes to the bank” and so I had to work on a budget- his salary. And in just 6 months, the rainy days strike, that is the world crisis. I know life would be better in the comings days ( that is my positivity) while Chuck said, we keep on saving, we will never know what will happen in 3 months time. And reality is hitting the world- more work force reduction. And we are not an exception. But we kept efforts to a TARGET which we will fulfill soon. And soon, we will celebrate another drama to our dreams. Just how Chy attained a dream. Holding on to a dragon fly. Sabi nya , “this is a baby dragon, mama” . This is good. ” She has a hundreds of dreams- we are looking forward to fulfilling another one in March. Her dreams turned my world to ellipticals. We’ll see. It is free to dream!

what’s in my luggage?
Onli n the Pinas stuffs
pinakurat
star peanuts
dried mangoes
chicharon
sisi
pinikas bulad
argentina corned beef
fiesta meatloaf
cdo sisig
a whole lot more.

My desire to spot on sale items might be deferred depending on the remaining budget while in Cebu tomorrow. Our luggage is quite huge now, although we don’t exceed the limit, we are already anticipating the situation we will have when we get to singapore by midnight tom and one taxi might not be enough. Taxi fare in SG is quite expensive esp at midnight for they automatically charge you 50% of your metered rate. Ahihihih…back to SG mode, the past 2 days, I was already working and responding to my boss calls.

haaay..back to reality but this one is a dream.

Chuck gets an Anniv gift too!



I haven’t took a foto of the actual item but managed to pull photo of replica watches from Swatch over the internet.

Now, am waiting for my anniversary dinner. I just thought this is funny. We never afforded expensive stuffs for each other during anniversaries and never been to some luxurious restaurants but whether we afford this dinner or not, I am kinda imagining that someday, we might afford having dinner to these places and dress up to make the ocassion special.
Hmmm…it is free to dream! Ika nga ni Cinderella, “a dream is a wish you’re heart makes, when your fast asleep, ………the dream that you wish will come true” ( favorite din tong kanta na to ni Chy)

Dinner at the Singapore Flyer ( SGD1,500 for a private capsule) hehehe..wish ko lang.
Sky Dining by the Cable Car @ Sentosa ( SGD180) Kalokohan to.

Pero actually, simpleng dinner lang gusto ko. But may isa akong wish, I hope it is an outdoor dinner where we could dance the night through. nyhahaha.. ( ambisyosa talaga)



PS. It is not our anniv yet, I’m just too excited to see a younger ChuckYen in this chaotic photo. Hahahhaha
