Christmas Shopping

Just got back from my first batch of Christmas shopping this morning. Next batch will be tomorrow and I'm praying that I could finish it all so I could concentrate more on the upcoming parties. And you know what guys, at this time of the year, I always feel so proud of myself because I have this super talent in budgeting :) I get to save lots of moolah but still able to give the best gifts that I could give to my friends and loved ones :) Good thing that we already got our 13th month pay last Thursday and it made me feel more comfortable budgeting my finances. I find it easier to allocate my money when I have the exact figures than making estimates (i'm also good in making estimates anyway hehehehe....). So guys, let's go shopping!

Relax Muna

I've been planning to have my first ever Body Scrub with Body Massage 2 months ago pa but it was only this afternoon that I got the chance to fulfill this. Grabeee.... soooo relaxing and I vowed to have this on a regular basis (once a month is not bad).

I arrived at the Godiva Skin Station at 2:30 pm and had my body scrub first. After about 30 minutes of scrubbing my whole body, I had a hot shower with Godiva Green Tea Bath Soap.. ohh la la la.. so refreshing. Feeling ko, tanggal lahat ng libag ko.. hahahahahaha!!!! The much-awaited massage came next and I chose the Relaxing Rose Oil (i hope i got this correct) to be used on my body. Haaaayyyyy....... saraappp....

Todo na natin ang pag-pamper sa sarili..... facial came next. It lasted for about 1 hour and feeling pretty again hahahahaha!!!!

Just a trivia, I always have this attitude that every time I treat myself, shopping... dining out... or even a simple lakwatsa, I see to it that I always have something for my family. So after pampering myself, I bought 3 dishes from Savory (fried chix, beef with brocolli and hipon rebosado), for our dinner. Para na rin kaming kumain sa labas :)

Beyonce Experience

2nd week pa lang ng September, nag-plano na kong manood ng concert ni Beyonce. Andyang nagtanong na ko sa mga kaibigan ko kung sino sa kanila ang gustong manood with me. Kaya lang, dahil 2 buwan pa bago ang concert, wala akong nakuhang confirmation mula sa kahit kanino sa kanila.

Eto na, 2 weeks before the concert, I asked Tabel kung gusto nyang manood. Sabi nya, gusto nyang manood kaya lang malungkot naman kung kaming 2 lang. Agree naman ako sa sinabi nya... mas masaya kung marami. Haayyy, kung andito lang sana sina Augs at Don, at kung may panlibre lang kami ke Niks, wala sanang naging problema :( So, paunti-unti kong tinanggap ang masaklap na katotohanan na hindi ko mapapanood ang concert ni idol Beyonce.

November 7, ang pinakaaabangang araw ng konsyerto ni Beyonce. Pagpasok ko ng opisina, agad kong nilagay sa ym status ko ang panghihinayang na hindi ako makakanood. Nakatanggap ako ng ym message kay tabel at nag-aayang manood ang loka. Ang akala ko nung una, nagbibiro lang sya. Pero 'nak ng tokwa, matapos ang masinsinang pag-uusap, ayun... sa bilis ng mga pangyayari, bago mag-tanghalian ay nakabili na sya ng 2 tiket para mamaya!!! Hehehehehe.... pina-ride muna ako ni tabel sa card nya... at nakakuha pa kami ng 10% discount dahil sa pagiging globe subscribers plus ang ganda pa ng seats na nakuha namin... bwehehehehehee!!!!

Sa madaling salita, NAKAPANOOD KAMI NG CONCERT NI BEYONCE!!!!! WOOOOHOOOOO!!!! :)

sa car ni tabel, before the concert :)

kapagod ang concert pero sulit!

ang ebidensya ;)

Give Me More Time... Pleaseeeeee........

I want to post a lot of entries here from the time I moved to my new company up to this very moment (5 months din yun huh!). I missed a lot really. But I couldn't find time. So busy with so many things. Don't know where to start hehehehe... I'm in the mood to write, the problem is baka bukas pa ko matapos kapag sinimulan. Hopefully next week, with a long vacation at that, I can spend at least a day to post everything here. See yah! :)

One More Chance

After about 5 months of staying away from gimiks (due to a very horrible experience that I prefer not to disclose as of this moment, later maybe :D ), finally, I got this chance to bond once again with my girl-friends. Met Tabel, Niks and Jhie after office and went straight to Rockwell to watch One More Chance starring Bea Alonzo and John Lloyd Cruz. It was my first time to watch a movie with them. Yep, first time indeed! :)

The movie was good, well, story-wise. I cannot comment on its technicalities like scoring, editing, etc. 'coz I'm not an expert at it. All I can say is that the film made me cry... laugh... smile... giggle... and think (over and over). Star Cinema's mastery of creating close-to-reality type of story made me felt like I was one of the characters.

We had dinner at Kenny Roger's and still couldn't get over Popoy and Basha. Nakaka-relate kasi ang mga bruha... maski si Tabel! :P After dinner, we met Aedner and his tropa at Starbucks Greenbelt, had a short chat with them and finally, Niks, Tabel and I went to Cena for a few rounds of Frozen Gin Pomelo :).

Had a very heartwarming (hihihihihi...) and meaningful conversation, talking 'bout relationship, career, family and many more. Tabel wanted to sing and we decided to spend more hours in Platinum but unfortunately, the rate was too expensive for the three of us. So, we endep up eating tokwa't baboy in Tiananmen hehehehehe.....

119 --> 110 --> 114 --> 107

It was in May last year when I decided to lose weight. From 119, it went down to 110 in 3 months. I was so proud of myself then and I promised that I won't hit the 112-mark again. Been successful with that until last month, I hit the 114 lbs scale. Gosh!!!! I didn't know what went wrong. I never noticed that change and I was really upset. That's when I started to do regular exercise at home and cut my carb ang sweets intake. Now, I weigh 107 lbs!!!! :) But still, I need to work on my abs to get the perfect look :) Good luck to me!!! :)

My Desktop

My old desktop had its well-deserved retirement last November 1. Actually, it was a "forced" retirement since when I woke up that day and turned it on, ayaw ng mag-boot :( That's when I decided to purchase a new one, hopefully before Christmas since I have a lot of things to do that only the Internet can help me :) After 2 weeks of canvassing thru the help of cyberspace and friends, I now have my new desktop :) Bought the parts and had it assembled in PC Express Monumento branch. I saved around 8K from my first option from another computer store plus I can pay it in 3 months at 0% interest :)

• Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 2.20Ghz 1G RAM
• Asus P5GC1333-MX i945GC Vpcie/S/L
• 17" LG LCD Monitor

And this is the first time that I configured a desktop. Yes, nakakahiya mang sabihin kasi IT professional ako e... pero it was my first time to install OS, configure the drivers, back up my files from my old HDD and many others. I'm so proud of myself.. (*wink*). But of course, all these things were made possible with the help of my friends. Thanks, guys! :)

'di ko pa maayos yung mga cords hehehehe....
