Got a horrible headache this morning, been crying all night ‘til the wee hour… hubby tried his best to comfort me and stay up late just to calm me while I’m in the midst of agony, while my tears doze me to sleep… my world suddenly stops and I can’t do anything about it! I hate being weak and too emotional, I hate bumping to news which gives me the reason to pity myself… It sounds weird but I really find it hard dealing about it! I want to hold back my tears and keep me calm, but unfortunately I can’t help it neither I can’t even hide what I really feel… My heart starts to sink, I wish I can face such news positively and be happy about it but here I am with puffy eyes, can’t deny that I cried all night… I hope this dilemma will soon end and I pray to god to guide me in moving on… This doesn’t mean that I am not happy upon hearing it, this may sound weird but honestly I’m glad about it and I want to be part of this happiest moment… My mind says to take it positively but my heart asks me to cry to free my negative feelings… How I wish I’m numb and forgetful, to make it easy for me to move on… Until when will I dwell with this insecurity? Can somebody wake me up or put me inside a cage where I will not see anybody neither hear anything or can i freeze the world and stop everything just for awhile? Now, I’m thinking to withdraw the idea of socializing… For now, all I want is to be alone and find myself… Find the place where I really belong, accept the truth and face the reality without bitterness… geeeezzz, I have to find ways to deviate my attention, I have to keep myself busy, but how? Oh god, am I such a freak? As day’s flies, the pressure keeps adding up, oh my, please somebody stop me from ranting… I may sound bitter but who the hell cares about it…

To hubby,

I know you’ll be reading this but please don’t be upset, let this journal carry all my ramblings which I want to get rid off… Whenever I see you sad it breaks my heart into pieces… You are such a wonderful man and I can’t ask for more and you deserve to be happy… I hate to think that god is punishing me… Honey, please help me pray for forgiveness, I know he’ll listen… I want to stop crying but while writing this, tears slowly drips, well, if this is the only way to ease the pain then let me cry ‘til my eyes run dry…

Honey, keep the faith and hold on with me… Be strong for I am getting strength from you… I love you more than words can say!!! Marrying you is the best thing that happened to me…

I am not loosing hope that one day emptiness will be fill-in and we’ll be “Complete”… I believe that soon we’ll reach the end of the rainbow with tremendous happiness along with our most precious bundle of joy…

France investigates Airbus crash

French authorities have launched an investigation into a crash involving an Airbus plane due to be delivered to the United Arab Emirates carrier. Etihad Airways said none of its staff were involved when the A340-600 crashed into a barrier at Toulouse airport, injuring five people on board. A spokesman for the airline said those hurt belonged to a firm contracted to test the plane before delivery. None of them suffered severe injuries. The cause of the crash remains unclear.

The aircraft was scheduled to be delivered next week to Etihad Airways' Abu Dhabi base, the airline said.

Oh crap, I am dead sleepy!

The weather is really great! It’s already winter and I can’t deny the fact that this season makes me lazy… Waking up in the morning was the hardest part of it and natural coldness makes me want to sleep more and more… Oh well, I have to force myself to stand up, take a cold bath and go to work… How I wish we have this flexi-time schedule so at least I can wake up anytime I want (wish, wish, wish!)… On being lazy, whenever I am already home and I have set my eyes on TV or PC, I don’t want to go out again even if I need to do some errands, I’d rather ask somebody to do it for me (sobra na ito!)… Anyways, this is the best weather here in UAE in which I do prefer rather than summer… Let me tell you, temperature during summer ranges from 45 – 50 degrees which is absolutely hot and sweating is the name of the game… Urggghh, the bloody smell of sweating people around makes me even sicker (eeehwww)… Thank God there is winter…

Side kwento;

Last Thursday was indeed a fun day… It’s the birthday of hubby’s cousin and since it’s a weekend we decided to hold a small party at home… I cooked pancit canton and breaded shrimp wherein I assume they did like it (kse walang natira) and other foods prepared by hubby’s cousin... And of course party wouldn’t be complete without over flowing Heineken plus Fundador… While the guys are enjoying their beers, we, the ladies on the other hand are having fun singing (even out of tune – heheh!)… Sayang there's no pictures 'coz they prefer to have it on video... After they have emptied all the cans of beers and finished 1 bottle of Fundador, our guests left our place at around 3.30 am (thank god none of the guys will drive) my sister is good enough to drop them off, it seems everybody had fun and drunk?!?… 4.30ish am, we finished cleaning all the mess and by 5am we’re off to bed… Got up around 12ish pm to cook our brunch… And this is my version of Chao Pan Fried Rice topped with fried egg…

Yummy, isn’t it?!?

Yesterday is already part of the past
Today is the reality I have to face
Tomorrow is something I am worried

Too many thoughts linger in my head, it’s such an obscure feeling in which keeps me bothered… An unexpected spurt for me but a baloney for others… Certain matters that drowns me each day, ghesssshhh… No matter how hard I try to compose myself it swiftly sinks in and pushing me deeper… Albeit, I am trying doubly hard to over come things, but it seems time doesn’t permit… Terribly wanting to be out of this predicament though, but there are circumstances which are hard to ignore simply because it’s reality… Yah, reality bites and nobody can stop it… I am yearning for a stress free and most likely out of depression but until now I am still struggling in the midst of uncertainties… What’s holding me back from moving on? Actually, I really don’t know… Maybe most of you will ask, “What is it? I can’t merely understand”, well, it’s one of the top 5 rants of married women (definitely not about my hubby)… I can say that roughly 60-70% of women went through this kind of rage, so it means I am not alone… I hate to scuffle when I know somehow there’s a possibility of losing the brawl and the chances are not in my hands… I may sound so weak and hopeless, but I am not, it’s such a relief whenever I write what’s within me… Pardon me for I’ve been so pessimistic and too shallow… One thing is definite, I will not give up!!! For the meantime, all i need is a big hug and a loving kiss from my hubby, ghessshhh, that makes me feel better...

Well I guess its part of life, we have to fathom every bits of it!

One of the best weekends we ever had…

We’ve gone mad shopping!!!

(my stuffs)

(his stuffs)

From Friday ‘til Saturday we’re off for shopping… A grand sale of awesome brands is being held twice a year at the function halls of J.W. Marriot Hotel… They are offering the best buys ever, from variety of stuffs such as make-ups, perfumes, clothings, shoes, bags, accessories, etc. Participating brands are Fendi, RL, Lacoste, D&G, Prada, DKNY, Anne Klein, Escada, Marc Jacobs, Jimmy Choo, Chloe, just to name a few… Who will not be tempted to spend few bucks to grab those items if prices from AED 2500 was cut down to AED 200/-? Well, we’re one of those peeps who didn’t let go of this rare opportunity… Although, lots of people are rushing so as not to be left out empty handed... Pushing one’s back was one of the toughest part of it, but it doesn’t troubled me because they pushes me in (thanks guys for the good push)… There’s one thing I hate whenever I am in a hurry (well I have to, otherwise I’ll be left with nothing) I don’t have time to check the stuffs i grabbed… As you see, I bought mostly shoes, and to my giddiness I wasn’t able to check if the sizes are right. At home, I’m sorting out the things that we shopped and finally found time to check each and every item, after fitting one shoes from another, I’ve noticed that 1 pair of it doesn’t match (see the photo of the maroon sandals), shocks, 1 pair with 2 different sizes (left 35.5, right 36.5) sheesssshhh… Well, my fault ‘coz I got that pair when we’re already in the counter… Later I’ll check with SAKS Fifth Avenue if I can exchange the item (I hope I can)…

Shopping is indeed great and One of the vast pleasures that this remarkable city offers!!!

Wow, it’s such a great feeling, today's the 1st b-day of our blog… We never thought that this journal of ours will come this far… This is our 85th post for the year… Well, let me share to you the short story how it all started.

Surfing the net keeps me away from boredom while waiting for hubby. While browsing one site from another I was caught by a certain wedding blog (sorry I forgot the site’s name). I was so amazed on how detailed he/she on updating their wedding preparations and so on. While reading it, memoirs of my wedding slowly sinks in, alas, why not make my own blog? Hmmm, sounds good, this would be the perfect place to keep our colleagues on the loop. Then, I checked the net which sites provides free registration and landed with Live Journal. I signed up for a free account and created my very first post. But then after a week, I got bored and decided to delete my account and again tried to Google other sites. Blogger.com caught my interest, alas, I immediately signed up and started blogging again. And this is my first entry First Time Blogger, and followed by the next, ‘til we became part of this blogging world, began to be addicted to it while we write anything we can think of.

Finally found an outlet of our own where we can vent our rants and adventures. At first, I was hesitant to spill the beans to our circle of friends for I am afraid that it might not be their cup of tea. But after countless thoughts, we decided to post it to our Friendster’s shout out box. From then on our friends started to have a peek and we’re happy to hear good feed backs from them. Their comments keeps us motivated, we’ve been boost and very much inspired to write more. It’s such a blissful feeling to have a journal in which reminiscing will always be easy.

Before, we just blog out of curiosity, but Now, we consider blogging as our priceless treasure.
Through this blog we gained numbers of friends and we’re happy about it. Well, this is also one way of letting others know that we do exist.

To all readers out there, don’t simply blog hop, make your own and start the ball rolling.

wHaT's On Tv...

I’ve never been a fan of any tele-serye or tele-novela, but I’ve been hooked by Marimar… I am beginning to love it because the phasing of the story is quite fast and considerably exciting… From this side of the world the airing of Marimar is a week late and the time slot was never been convenient on our part, it is aired around 2.45ish piyem (by this time we’re still in the office) followed by a replay on 12 midnight---local time (by this time we’re already in lah-lah land)… Youtube makes it possible for us to watch the latest episodes of Marimar, thanks to advance technology… Though we weren’t really able to watch Marimar when it officially started, we're counting on watching it ‘til its seasons ends… Every night we make it a point to watch 2 episodes to at least catch up with what’s currently aired in manila… Tonight we’ll be watching episodes 61 and 62 we’re almost a par with Manila episodes…

On Eat Bulaga during i-tak-tak mo game portion, the contestant was asked by the host to answer a question (as per the game guidelines), he promptly gave his answer out loud, he’s really shouting on top of his lungs and suddenly his denture accidentally fell on the ground, my gracious that was embarrassing and it happened on TV… He quickly picked it on the floor and put it on while covering his mouth with a white hanky… The momentum was indeed hilarious and we can’t stop ourselves from giggling, the hosts along with the crowd can’t stop themselves from laughing and most definitely all viewers had a good laugh out of it… Good thing that the hosts of the show were able to deliver a good punch line… This contestant does have a good sense of humor since he didn’t show any trace that he’s bothered neither humiliated on the unexpected thing that happened to him… Though he didn’t win, I’m sure he became famous because of that incident…

That’s all for now… Stay tuned…

What a day!
I was awakened by a warm kiss from my hubby, he left home at around 5:45ish in the morning. Our car is out for service therefore he has to leave early to get rid of the morning traffic hassles and at the same time to catch a cab before morning rush begins. From the time he left, I still have an hour to sleep but to no avail I find it difficult to win back the sleepy head in me. After countless turns from left to right, the alarm went on. Gosh, what a day… I stood up and took a cold bath… After doing all the kikay rituals, I am off 10 minutes earlier from my usual take off... I thought by leaving a little bit early will give me the chance to catch a cab on time… 7:25ish, I am already standing at the usual spot where I hail cab, I thought I will be lucky since I am the only person standing there… 7:40ish, I am still waiting for my luck, few people had passed my way and I began to wonder why… 7:55ish, guess what, I am still patiently waiting and still on cab hunt, I started to notice that those people who’s actually passing my way was actually hailing a cab few meters away from my spot… 8:10, it’s such a pain in the neck, I am overly late, our official timing is 7:45ish and our office is just 5 minutes away… 8:15ish, finally got a cab, I was really upset by that time ‘coz I hate being late… Hmmmm, would it be time to have a driver’s license? That makes sense…

--oooOOOooo--

Last Friday was a tiring but enjoyable one… We attended the afternoon mass at St. Mary’s Church from there we’ve meet up with my siblings (along with their b/f and g/f) and also my cousin with his wife… It has been agreed that we’ll be having a get together every end of the month to at least have some time to bond and to have fun… We went to Dubai Outlet Mall for the second time around of course to do some shopping… we’re not able to shop a lot ‘coz we haven’t gone through the entire mall, it’s to exhausting to walk and make a quick stop to each shop… mind you, that mall is huge and will surely eat a lot of your time while hopping from one shop to another… but believe me it’s worth it… Our hungry and complaining stomach stops us to roam more… We did take off at around 10ish piyem… It’s a little bit chilly outside, winter is already approaching, and this is the best time to have Bulalo…. and so we headed to a Filipino Resto along Deira… We reached Tipanan Resto at around 11ish piyem, thank god we’re already seated and the waiter had taken our orders so fast… we’ve waited… Ajah, the waiter came back and told us “Sorry po, wala na pong Bulalo”… damn, we’re so disappointed and cancelled all our orders… We headed to Karama for another Bulalo hunt… At Tagpuan Resto ---- No Bulalo… At Bulwagan Resto --- still No Bulalo, holy crap, now we have to decide ‘coz it’s already darn late and we haven’t taken our dinner… so we ended up ordering, Calamares, Fried Tanigue, Kare-Kare, Pancit Bihon, Inihaw na Pusit and Sago’t Gulaman of course with Bulalo Soup at least even just a sip we’re able to satisfy our cravings… Busog to the maxxxxx…

I Love Weekend…
