Archives for February, 2008

I demanded that Alpha tag me, so here is mine :):

Totally random.
As of today, 3PM, the most unimportant things about me are:

1. I listen to songs on multi-ever-repeat. If I like a certain song, I can listen to it ALL day. Right now, it’s alternating between The Wannadies’ “You and Me Song” and Beyonce’s “Me, Myself and I”. (Di ko alam bakit, I just like it!)

2. I have a very hearty trademark laugh. So trademark that when you hear it, you will instantly know it’s mine. So trademark Matthew even commented it needs to belongs in a cartoon. Bwahahahaha.

3. I think Im in between jologs, palengkera and sosy. I can be very jologs but can be sosy when it calls for it. Does that make me TH? I dont think so. I can blend. Yes, that’s the term I think.

4. Much as l like to post about things I shopped for or would want or drool about, outside the blog and the internet, I hate malls. As in hate them to death. Im your worst mall companion I swear. Id rather eat out. Yes. I make a very good eating companion. Im very madaldal in that way. Ask anyone I get to have the chance to EB with. There was one that lasted six hours. Hahahaha.

5. I dream a lot. Call me psychic. But when I dream it almost always come true. It just sucks I forget them 90% of the time. I think it’s a gift.

6. As much I want to claim Im independent, I am very dependent on my parents’ influence and advice to decide anything. Im always a little girl at heart I think.

Tagging Joy (para magblog na sya), Apple, Glo, Jacq and Litzie.

Ang Cute ng Asawa Ko Eh.

Hahahahahahahahaha.

I think I got your attention with that title.

(And havent you noticed Im on a blogging mood today?! :) Finished work early!)

So I blogged earlier about having a new phone right?

So I slept early last night with instructions to Edil to prettify my phone. I woke up at 4:30AM to have my internet time before I prepared Matthew for school.

The phone was at the computer and I checked to see if Edil did his work ;). It got the pretty Martha picture on it and some more pictures when you press some buttons (Di talaga ako marunong sa cellies, sorry).

So I was checking emails.

And then the phone rings. Heehee.
My ring tone was one I blogged about :D
Edil rang up my phone so I can hear (and know) what he did.

And that wasnt enough.

He texted.
And then the phone rings. Heehee.
So I knew what he did.

And he texted:
Saranghaeyo.

*Swoon.*

And you know, Edil really isnt the husband you get to depend on for the big stuff. He didnt give me ANYTHING for Valentine’s nor for my BIRTHDAY, but he does these little things. Which husband supports his wife’s lust obsession with another man diba? LOL.

And for a woman like me who is self-empowered (read: I am Wo-MAN, hear me roar), I have to admit giving me stuff is hard. I am pretty much very hard to please if you give me stuff (call me materialistic, pero if you are going to give, give na the best diba? I dont like small stuff!) So he does these things.

He doesnt complain if I dont wash the dishes overnight, or I dont do the laundry, or if I do takeout seven days a week. He doesnt care if Im mean with my jokes but get pikon easily. He doesnt even complain when I tell him we need to watch Coffee Prince before we go to sleep. In fact, he knows exactly when to turn his head to me, to catch me tearing up or rolling my eyes in kilig-dom. He says, “Oo, sinabi mo na yan dati” when I always say, “Alam mo ba Thart si ganito si ganyan smoker?” Bwahahaha.

Most of all, he gives in. Im really a bossy woman. Edil is the boss of the family, but I call the shots, honestly. And Im happy to realize it is a non-issue for him already. Dati, super issue yan but now, he knows Im just naturally like this but it doesnt mean I dont value his position in the household.

So I may not have the usual prince charming but Ive got the perfect man to suit my imperfect self.

And Im writing this so that I wont get jirita when I come home and see a butt of cigarettes on the computer table again! (We dont allow smoking in the house and the man sneaks when Im not there). Hehehe.

Sure, he drives me crazy all the time.
But my point is, I drive him crazy too.
And he doesnt talk as much as me.
Bwahahaha.

Moving

It’s so unreal that we are really moving houses this month. Truth be told, I havent really done anything to prepare for the move, physically speaking. We need to buy boxes and really have a garage sale soon. Thinking about it makes me anxious already. Good thing there are moving companies like Service Network. It has announced its quick and easy moving company matching system. Service Network has set up a network of moving companies that go through a strict application process to ensure a quality moving company. All of their movers in the network have to be licensed and insured. They must meet a number of qualifying factors in order to be accepted into their network. Their moving process is set up to assist individuals and families to not only select a reputable mover, but to also have some assurance that they will have a smooth move.

I Still Have Kids.

Dont worry, I still have kids :)

Im just too lazy to upload their latest pictures.

E ano ang post about them without it right?

Unlimited.

Since Edil’s company issued them SUN phones, we decided to get for the two of us as well (so we can give one for Matthew), since we dont have a landline anymore and we anticipate more calls when we move, definitely.

So my trusty (old, phased out) Nokia 1110i will be my back up for my existing number (I love that too much to let it go. Besides, the SUN phone is for SUN users din para tipid). My SUN number is unique too, since the network is still growing, you get to choose the number you want din!

I wanted to have the Samsung E250 but Edil was making pa-cute na sa kanya na lang daw un, so fine. Im sure the slide feature will not be lost on Martha and it will be broken anyways. Plus di talaga ako mahilig sa cellphones. (I reasoned I have the laptop anyways so kanya na yun mwehehehe).

So I got the Nokia2630 in black. I like the sleek design, the radio, the camera is so-so. But at least there are themes! Guess what my theme is?! Heehee.

Nah.
Martha is my wallie but White Love Story is my ring tone and the La La La Love is my message alert :)

Im still compiling pictures of Gong Yoo for my GIF kasi.
(Pinapagawa ko lang lahat yan ke Edil, di ako marunong sa ganyan eh!)

Hindi na jologs cellphone ko :)
Hahahaha!
I think Glo would be so happy to hear that!

LoversPlanet

They say that Russian women make the most beautiful brides as they are one of the most beautiful women in the world. The question is, where do you find them? LoversPlanet is a Ukraine dating service website where you can find Russian or Ukraine women. This is a legit dating service. They dont act as a middleman translator between you and your Russian bride. All communication is direct. These “traditional” Russian dating agencies often leave you ill-prepared for a lifelong relationship. LoversPlanet women all have at least a basic understanding of English, so you are able to work together to communicate and get to know one another without experiencing any unpleasant surprises down the line. LoversPlanet markets directly to Russia and Ukraine women so your experience is direct with women from cities like Kiev, Moscow, and St. Petersburg. They really encourage you to get to know your woman, speak to her on the phone as much as possible. With Skype, calls are easier and faster.

G Explained.

I was literally laughing from Jen’s comment on this post. So Litzie asked me to explain about it in a different post. So here I am.

Borrowing from this post:

And this year, she gets Gloria (Yes Mare, she will have your name - I will call her
“G” for short. She will be my lakwatsera since I wont be going anywhere as we will be living simply when I stop working, o diba? Connect lahat!). I hope I wont get Gloria when she’s five years old already though, hahahaha!!!!! (I think that’s the main material goal for me this year).

So here she is:
Dell Inspiron 1525

It’s a Dell Inspiron 1525.

Here are its specs:
Intel® Core™ 2 Duo T5450 (1.66GHz/667Mhz FSB/2MB cache)
Vista
2GB RAM
120GB HD
CD / DVD Writer (DVD+/-RW Drive)
15.4 Anti glare screen
Webcam, bluetooth, LAN
Intel® 3945 802.11a/g Mini-card
Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100
Integrated Sound Blaster Audigy

Not that much but I think she will keep me happy for a looong time :)

Highlight of the week:
(Yes, even if it’s only Thursday!)
Finally ordering G! It’s my biggest splurge to date (after my SLR) and I cant help but feel guilty - we might make use of the money in some other things, you know. However, as a friend nicely puts it, I have been working my a** off for a year now and it’s about time I get this. OK. So with closed eyes the purchase was made.

Im excited! G is bi. G can be a she when Im a good friend and G can be who-else-but when Im all hot and heavy for GY! Bwahahaha. Edil let me have his picture on his Vidal Sassoon endorsement as our desktop :D.

Lowdown for this Week:
Well, if you can see it in a way that I cant eat and still need to go to the restroom 10 times a day so I can lose weight, fine. But the cramping is killing me. Damn virus.
Edil is hot (not hot-hot, LOL) with fever since the other day too.

Im sorry pero we need summer already!

Never underestimate the power of getting online education. Did you know that Capella University is an accredited*, fully online university that offers graduate degree programs in business, information technology, education, human services, psychology, public health, and public safety, and bachelor’s degree programs in business, information technology, and public safety? Recently, a faculty member was named president-elect of the Texas Mental Health Counselors Association! He is Dr. Christopher Lucies, a core faculty member and teaches CACREP (the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs) counseling education and counseling studies programs in the online university’s School of Human Services. With teachers like him, you would not doubt the university’s capacity to really deliver quality education!

Take the Rate My Life Quiz

Your Life Analysis:

(Parang ang taas ng love ko!)

Life: Your life rating is a score of the sum total of your life, and accounts for how satisfied, successful, balanced, capable, valuable, and happy you are. The quiz attempts to put a number on the summation of all of these things, based on your answers. Your life score is reasonably high. This means that you are on a good path. Continue doing what is working and set about to improve in areas which continue to lag. Do this starting today and you will begin to reap the benefits immediately.

Mind: Your mind rating is a score of your mind’s clarity, ability, and health. Higher scores indicate an advancement in knowledge, clear and capable thinking, high mental health, and pure thought free of interference. Your mind score is not bad, but could be improved upon. Your mental health is not weak, but you are not achieving full mental clarity and function. Learn how to unclutter your mind. Keep learning, keep improving, continue moving forward.

Body: Your body rating measures your body’s health, fitness, and general wellness. A healthy body contributes to a happy life, however many of us are lacking in this area. Your body score is fairly average, which means there is room for improvement. Keep a focus on your physical health. Protect your body as it is your most valuable physical asset. Nutrition, stress reduction, and exercise are key.

Spirit: Your spirit rating seeks to capture in a number that elusive quality which is found in your faith, your attitude, and your philosophy on life. A higher score indicates a greater sense of inner peace and balance. Your spirit score is relatively high, which means you are rewarded by your beliefs. Spirituality is clearly important to do. Never let it slip, and continue to learn and grow.

Friends/Family: Your friends and family rating measures your relationships with those around you, and is based on how large, healthy, and dependable your social network is. Your friends and family score is quite healthy. You have a social network you can depend upon. Count your blessings, but never forget that these bonds need to be maintained. Keep your friends and family close.

Love: Your love rating is a measure of your current romantic situation. Sharing your heart with another person is one of life’s most glorious, terrifying, rewarding experiences. Your love score is very high, which means you are in a very happy situation right now. Do all you can to keep it strong.

Finance:
Your finance rating is a score that rates your current financial health and stability. Your finances are somewhat in the middle, neither bad or exceptional. Keep doing what works for you, and improve what doesn’t. Focus on long-term financial stability as your goal.

Tagging Joy, Alpha, Kitts, Toni and Diane!

Domains, Anyone?

It seems that everyone has been taking to the internet and snatching up domain names like pancakes. Blogging is the new way of keeping a diary so everyone is doing it! They even want to have their own and not be hosted on free blogs hence the domain purchases. I currently have five domain names, and Im thinking of adding more! Fast Domain Search is achievable at 10xwhois.com! You can search one domain name in different extensions and it will immediately show up if it is available - if it isnt, you will see the WHOIS directory so you can check who owns it. Domains are really a nice investment if you think about it. If you are able to snatch a unique one, people are willing to pay more than ten times the amount sometimes.

Stroking the Fire.

Literally and figuratively :)

I read some highly entertaining and hot threads today over at N@W. And I was really itching to make it into a blog carnival so I can see my blog visits shoot up. Kaso wag na lang. Hahaha. Baka tarayan ako ni Apols. (Joke!).

Anyway, you dont know the question if you havent read the forum but Ill post my answer here.

We are a very healthy couple.
Period.

I dont think there should be a gauge unless there is something medically wrong - like they are trying to conceive, since every person has different innate standards.However, I personally believe that it is also a gauge if there is something wrong - whether it be they are both stressed, someone is being unfaithful or what have you.

Basta ang masasabi ko lang, malakas ang gut feel ng babae.
Go always with your gut feel.
And its perfectly OK to be the one who asks sometimes!
Mag-asawa na kayo eh!

When Im finished having babies, Ill definitely get this:

Round Photo Pendant

The image is clickable!
Isnt it gorgeous?

These types of jewelry are really heirlooms in the making. I want to give my children one locket each, and if I can find one that etches at the back, Ill have me and Edil’s photo etched there too. Im deciding between gold and silver though. Gold Lockets are usually the most ordered ones, with 14K Yellow Gold or 14K White Gold as options. But Silver Lockets might be better for children since they are cheaper. I like how they can engrave colored photos directly on the locket!

Id want this for Mother’s Day!

gp_he5u8_65732_1203374174.jpg

I can get their pictures on the inside, engraved and even include a message. (I hope my husband can read this!). They are the only ones who can shrink pictures clearly and laser it to the locket directly! This unique process is 100% waterproof and is guaranteed to last a lifetime.

Wow, this is so nice!

Dreaming of the Riviera

Edil and I have never been on a honeymoon or a trip together that is just the two of us. I know we seriously need it so we can reconnect and just have time for each other ALONE. That would be one of my plans after we move and settle a business. Maybe we can afford to go to a romantic vacation riviera maya! Who knows right? I have read of the Karisma Resorts in the region. The word itself is so attractive already, dont you think?!There is a Gourmet Cafe and the Azul Blue Hotel+Spa. Talk about an all-in-one vacation! I will definitely be keeping this on my wish list!

Blogs in the Making.

I have two blogs who have been living under the rock for almost a year already!
I think I need to make time to dress and fill them up so I can use GoogleAds already. I got my PIN from them last week, thanks to Chikai’s advice that I use them as well. Let us see if I can earn through this as well.

I have registered a pinaynurse domain and I havent really done anything with it yet. *Hay*
Speaking of which, I got my packet already. Now I need to renew my PRC license as it expired on my birthday last week.

I have a list a mile long.
