And We Turn 4...
Today, NG and I are celebrating our fourth anniversary. Who would have thought? Coming from a long-distance relationship, 4 years is quite a long time. This is our first time to be together on our anniversary. No more emails, webcam chats, text messaging and phone calls on this day. Been there, done that. Don't wanna do that again. We've exchanged cards. Tears abound, mostly mine, I'm such a cry-baby. SIGH. We have a long way to go, I pray we'd always have our faith in each other and most importantly in God. Do include us in your prayers too. Keep the faith, I know, it can be tough from time to time. God Bless.

Pimping...
Is it just me or does Jamie Walters stand out among the other guys in the pic? Hee. I could just be biased though. You can read the story about the show here. It's cold here in O, trying to stay warm. Have a good one. God Bless.

Cold December in O...
I don't like getting my period, the painful cramps makes me bitchy and irritable hence I just wanna take naps. Hate cramps. Men are sooooo lucky they don't endure this every month.
Saw the commercial for Trust Me last night while watching Cheech & Chong Roasted with NG. I half-squealed when I saw Ed Stevens on the screen, the show will start airing in January 2009. Something to look forward too.

From a year ago...

Dear Future Me, today is September 29, 2007, and you're still awake, as always...it's been tough lately between you and ..."
I forgot about that email I sent for my future self to read after a year...thinking back, that was the time that the distance was really getting to me. It was VERY tough to be in a long-distance relationship. It is not easy to be in a relationship period, much more if it's long-distance. A year after I thought we're not gonna make the relationship work because of the distance, look at us now, together in one timezone and married and dealing with life as one. I still won't recommend long-distance relationship to anyone though. It's a toughie. I'm glad we got through that.

I'm Not Bored...
This was taken December 2000-2001 me thinks, AJ is the one on the left [wearing glasses] and Nadine is on my Nanay's lap on the right. It didn't seem that long ago.
This is Nadine now. She was in charge of the candles on her sister's birthday. 9 years from now, Nadine will be 18. Sigh. I'm getting nostalgic now.

And You Did What?...
Saturday, August 09, 2008
Them Blogthings...
You Are a Realist |
You don't see the glass as half empty or half full. You see what's exactly in the glass. You never try to make a bad situation seem better than it is... But you also never sabotage any good things you have going on. You are brutally honest in your assessments of situations - and this always seems to help you cope. |
You're a Pack Rat in Training |
You know those crazy old people with a ton of video tapes and cats? Well, you're training to be one. Time to do some spring cleaning. Even if it isn't spring! |
What Your Bathroom Habits Say About You |
You are a giving soul. Way too giving in fact. You often get stuck doing the dirty work that no one else will do. You spend a lot on clothes, and you tend to be a very dresser. However, it's hard for you to throw away trendy clothes when they go out of style. You have the perfect blend of confidence and class. You're proud of who you are - but you don't broadcast it. In relationships, you are practical and realistic. You have a romantic side, but you only let it out when it's appropriate. |
You Are Sunrise |
You enjoy living a slow, fulfilling life. You enjoy living every moment, no matter how ordinary. You are a person of reflection and meditation. You start and end every day by looking inward. Caring and giving, you enjoy making people happy. You're often cooking for friends or buying them gifts. All in all, you know how to love life for what it is - not for how it should be. |
You Are 58% Peaceful |
In general, you think the world's a pretty great place - and you're happy to be a part of it. Sometimes you struggle with life, but who doesn't? You are quite level headed, though you have more inner angst than you'd like. |
You are a PC |
You're practical, thrifty, and able to do almost anything. Appearances and trends aren't important to you. You just like to get the job done. |

One of them days...
MajorDad gave this to us. We only have a handful of spices here at home, will have to get more so we can use this cool thingy.
My cousins Tin, Nadine and AJ, taken from the anniversary dinner of Tita Loida & Tito Raf. Missing them esp. Nadine's story-telling about anything and everything.
Been spending time on youtube lately and here are a few channels that I've been following lately, you might want to check them out if you have time.
Last Friday, I went to the mall, I got there okay. Found what I was looking for. On my way home, stopped by McDonald's and got some food. I was 11 blocks away from home. Waited at the North Omaha Transit Center. I know what bus number I was going to take. Waited some more. Finally, bus #18 arrived. The driver said how I was doing. I said, I was ok and asked him the same, he said, he's tired. I paid my fare. First time I didn't asked if the bus would take me to my destination. FIRST TIME that I didn't ask. And it turned out to be something that I would regret. The bus was going the opposite direction, I just kept quiet, because I thought the bus will just go around as they do on their routes. BUT this particular bus was going to the garage after the route. The driver let me off to a street/bus stop where the same bus number will pass by and take me to my destination. It would have been okay except the next bus didn't come until an hour after. And when that bus finally came, it didn't stop. I hailed it. BUT for some reason, that I still and don't and may not ever know, the bus DIDN'T stop. I was the ONLY one at that stop. I was wearing a red shirt that it would be impossible to miss seeing me. SIGH. I lost it around that time and I cried out of frustration. I was in an area that I'm not familiar with. I was the only one waiting. Only passing cars and other type vehicles come and go. It was a scary time for me. I didn't know if there was a next bus coming since it was getting close to 8pm [good thing, even at that time, the sun was still up]. I waited another 45 minutes when bus #18 came by again, this time, I asked the driver if it was gonna pass by my destination. And thank God it was going that way. Was praying all throughout my wait in that bus stop. 2 hours me thinks. I cried some more when I got home. I'm a cry baby, couldn't help it. There were messages from NG on the machine waiting for me, that he was getting worried that I'm still not home when I told him I will be home around 2 hours earlier. SIGH. We got to talk about it when he got home and he decided, the next time I go out, I'll bring his phone with me, until I get my own. So, I can reach him if something like that happens again. I told him that will not happen again. It was MY mistake for not asking. I always asked the driver if it was going to where I was going the past times that I took the bus. It was the first time that I didn't ask and I paid big time. I rode the bus again last Monday, even transferred to another bus to get to my destination and I asked the driver each time. I learned my lesson. ALWAYS ASK, no matter what.
Met NG at Sam's Club after he got off work. We got some laundry detergent and caffeine for me. Before heading home, passed by Rotella's factory/bakery to get some bread. Got 3 loaves of bread, as we were paying, the cashier told us we were the 100th customer and the bread is free. Hee. That was a good surprise. We got 3 loaves of bread for free and it was the first time that we went there. NG has been telling me that we'd go there but it was only last Monday that we actually did and it turned out a goody one. He said, we'll get our bread at that place from now on and it's way cheaper there vs the other grocery places. Gotta love free bread.NG and I will have our civil wedding ceremony next Friday. Seems like yesterday that we were talking about that day and now, it will happen in a week. We don't have any preparations for it, it's not really a wedding wedding where there are invitations and the works. It works for us, for now, we couldn't afford a wedding right now. With all the expenses ahead that deals with my status adjustment. It's not cheap. I want to start working soon, so, I can help NG with the expenses. I do have something to wear, will have to get NG's this weekend or on Monday, he doesn't like shopping. MajorDad emailed me and that we should meet and get something for NG. We got the rings, just waiting for it to arrived. I didn't think about the engraving until NG said we should add that. So, we did. Would be arriving this weekend me thinks. And that's about it, we might have lunch the next day after but still not decided since NG doesn't know if people will come. Will see. We got engaged in 2006 and it's 2008, we're still together and actually going through with this. We just have to see where this will take us. Not everyday you can meet someone the way we did and actually have something good come of it. I still can't believe that I'm actually here now...with NG...but it is what it is. One day at a time right? So far, so good. Please include us in your prayers. Will be appreciated. God bless.

Blackout...
My crush for this guy started when I was still in HS, that's quite a long time ago, and I still have this high school girl type crush whenever I see a recent photo of him. He was the Bench undie model for years until he got "overweight" and lost his right [if you can say that] to be the underwear model for Bench. Nowadays, it's Jon Avila, Dingdong Dantes [my friend said he kinda look like Zoolander whenever he poses...], Rafael Rossell who dons the latest undies for Bench.
Last Friday night, Bench had it's every other year denim/underwear show in the Philippines. If I was still there, I KNOW I would have been there to see that. Jomari is not as underwear ad worthy as 10 years ago, but he still and will always be my Bench undie guy. SIGH. He'll turn 32 next month. I should update the website I made for him me thinks. I've been saying that for the longest time. I just might. If I don't get too lazy. I got the images from the Team Kapamilya Multiply group, click on the link to see more pix from the Blackout Denim/Underwear show. I miss buying stuff from BENCH, they have a limited online store as of the moment, still not the same as being inside the store and being surrounded by the colorful undies. I lovelike undies on men. Bow. Don't ask. It just how it is. Hee.
My EBC friends...missing them...this was taken when Slutty Nurse [2nd from left, I don't remember how she became the "slutty nurse" coz she's really not, I think, we got it from FRIENDS...I don't remember for sure] had a recent vacay in the Philippines. The lucky dude in the pic is Neo.
Eeee, Ada aka Slutty Nurse, Miss Gwynnie and Doctora aka Nerdy Nurse [she recently passed the nursing exams...we now have two nurses in the group...CONGRATS again Doctora Nurse...your being studious and incommunicado during your review months really paid off...a mini wave for you...whooo]. I miss our VS [vodka session] gurls. Not fun to drink by myself. Maybe, I'll drink tonight.
I have been playing this game UNO!!!!!! My cousin Nadine and I used to play this card game back when I was still in the Philippines, now they have a computer version of the famous card game. Wheee. I wish it's an online game where you can play against real people though, that would really be FUN.
Been here in O for 2 months now...where did the time go? What has changed? I definitely gained weight. I haven't been eating much but the lack of activity [like walking a lot back when I was still working] on a daily basis could be the reason for my gain weight. I need a weighing scale, NG promised me one. I'm not overly conscious about it but I know how not easy it is to lose weight, I never really tried, I just played badminton a lot a few years and that's where it all started. I miss playing badminton. Who wants to play versus me? I'm not good at it but I can hit the ball when need to. Hee. I wake up at 5:45am every weekday, the same time as NG gets up. Then just do whatever is needed to do during the day. My computer is always on, just on standby until someone from home gets online and started chatting with me. Had a long chat conference with two of my friends yesterday, must have been more than 5 hours. So many subjects have been talked about. We even tried voice chat. Ain't technology cool? Yes, it is. I went to the mall again today, not much time though, I was there for only two hours because had to get home before NG gets here since they keys were with me. Saw one skirt that I actually really liked. It was white, AND I'm not a fan of white clothing but for some reason, I liked it instantly. Might go back to get it. It was on sale too, so, it's like, coolness. It's Saturday night, NG's night to unwind [loud tunes + drinking his Yukon Jack], so, I'm here in the living room, unwinding with him in the other room, I can hear the tunes LOUD and CLEAR out here even with the door closed. It's loud and I don't like it but that's how he unwinds AND knowing how a creature of habit he is, he will lose his mind if he don't get that each weekend. Hee. It's all about compromise yes? We have so many things to discover from each other, even if we've been together [long distance] since December 2004, we still have a lot of things to discover [both good and bad] about each other. An Aunt told me about something she read about this guy who's had a successful and lasting relationship, the guy said, you must have the 3 Cs: Commitment, Communication & Compromise. Will just have to keep that in mind for now yes? Hee. Sounds easy but it could be tricky. Must go and play my game for now...and I think, I'd have a few glasses of AbDew or AbCran-apple. Have a good day. God bless.

Ella ella ella...
This Rihanna song has been covered by a lot of artists [famous or not] as I found on YouTube, for lack of things to say in here, I thought, I'd share some of the vids I found. There are more versions that you can find on YouTube, here ya go. Have a good day/afternoon/night. God bless.
Rihanna feat. JayZ [the original, I like this song, I like Rihanna...]
Marie Digby [she got famous via YouTube doing acoustic covers, this is actually not bad, her original songs are quite good me thinks...]
Boyce Avenue [I'm biased since I like this band...]
John Peter West [he just makes me feel mushy whenever I hear him sing, may it be this song or any other song for that matter, love the guy, would be nice to watch him live...]
Tegan & Sara [thought, I'd include this for variety...]
Vanilla Sky [the video is quite funny...]
Keith Urban & Carrie Underwood [I don't know about this one...]
Coco "Paragua" [I'm guessing paragua is umbrella in spanish?...this video makes me smile...the guy is shaking his bon bon...]
Manic Street Preachers [was surprised they covered this...]
Chipmunks [this is the ear-piercing version...]

I heart this game...
This was their 3rd Wimbledon finals. Rafael Nadal was so close in winning it last year but Roger Federer won it in 5 sets.
It was one of the best matches [I thought their 5-set match last year was the best but this was even better...what's better than best? hee] I've watched. With a few rain delays, the match turned into another 5-setter, Nadal comfortably won the first two sets at 6-4, 6-4. I thought he was gonna win it in 3 sets. A rain delay interrupted the third set, it was close, none of them breaking a serve, until it reached on a 3rd set tie-break. Federer won it. Then came the 4th set, another close game, no one was dropping their serves, another tie-breaker, Rafa had a few chances of winning the match but again, it went to Federer's favor. As the fifth set begins, it was the same thing all over again, no one was breaking and no one was dropping their serves. A rain delay occurred, good thing it was only a short one. In Wimbledon, there's no tie-break on the fifth set, could have worked for Rafa's favor since he can't seem to win a set in tie-breaks with Federer. Rafa finally broke Federer's serve to get an 8-7 lead and he served for the match and ended it at 9-7. WOW. It was really an awesome match. I can only imagine how the people who were actually there felt. Someday somehow, I hope to be able to witness a live Wimbledon match. It might not be between Rafa and Federer but still, I know, I would love that. Will they meet again for a 4th consecutive Wimbledon finals next year? We just have to wait and see.
I was supposed to go out today but the tennis match kept me right here at home. Oh well. I'll just go out and buy a card tomorrow. 2 weeks of following the Wimbledon was all worth it, the men's finals was phenomenal. I now have a new favorite female player in Zheng Jie. Until next year's Wimbledon. Have a good week ahead of you. Keep the faith. God Bless.

Quarters...
The Wimbledon quarter-finals will start Tuesday with the women's singles:
Zheng vs. Vaidova;
Radwanska vs. S.Williams;
Dementieva vs. Petrova;
V. Williams vs. Tanasugarn.
Then on Wednesday with the men's singles:
Federer vs. Ancic;
Lopez vs. Safin or Warinka [their match is ongoing, I want Safin to win]
Schuettler vs. Cilic or Clement [their match is ongoing as of this time]
Nadal vs. Murray or Gasquet [I'm guessing on Murray to win]
Not much rain delay this year, only had one so far, that lasted about an hour and a half. I am hoping no more rain delays will take place in the coming days.
Mario Ancic reached the semis in 2004. Didn't get to play last year due to injury. Had long matches in his 2nd, 3rd & 4th rounds in this year's Wimbledon. He'll face Roger Federer [5 time Wimbledon champion] for the quarter-finals. Will he win it? We'll find out on Wednesday.
He was soooo close from beating Roger Federer on their 5-set finals last year. Could this year be his? I hope so.
China's Zheng Jie will have her first quarter-final appearance in Wimbledon. She beat #1 Ivanovic on the third round. I want her to win but she still need to get past the Williams sisters [if they win their respective quarter-final matches that is]. Go Zheng Jie. This is her best Wimbledon performance to date. She reached 3rd round in 2006 vs Venus Williams.
