The Center of Distraction

My officemate Beng, who is the famous author of Entertainment Spree, forwarded this to me. This picture was taken last Christmas 2008. The group behind me are some of the Finance people in our company, i was wondering why are they looking at me!

I was kinda hesitant to post it coz Beng's camera caught me in a very compromising situation, but am glad i did! Am actually laughing at myself now! LOL

Our Day Before Christmas

I was supposed to take a leave at work on the 24th since it was declared halfday by the company, but as i still have to finish very important reports- to the office i went with my daughter Yena in tow!

Look who's sitting so proud at mommy's chair huh?

Because she didn't want to nap on chairs beside mom, she dozed off at my lap after a series of her little trick shows at my officemates..

Well she was unbelievably very behaved while waiting for me to finish my work.. I cant stop myself capturing her every move, forgive me am a MOM! What do you expect, hahah.. I finished work right in time before lunch :)

At 3pm we're at the mall already for our last minute christmas shopping, whew! That was really really tiring to recall now, Next year i promise to shop starting november (Well that is another wish!) My little darling really loves to ride at those carts :)

Not so tiring?! Hahah. I know that from that last day of work every christmas time, i will be bringing her to my office, so i must get used to it! I hope i can get used to it actually, but i love every single moment with her at work. If only everyday is christmas time, and she is with me while i'm working :)

4AM Midnight Mass

Hubby and I went to simbang gabi (midnight mass) just before dawn this morning. Our first ever attendance to simbang gabi for this year. Our choir is scheduled for two rows to sing on that novena mass, so instead of nagging and begging hubby for a longer sleeping hours, I braced myself to take a shower. Oh boy, i cant stand cold weather, I felt like am a frozen chicken on the shower.. I just wanted to get through as soon as possible! Now that leads me to thinking, if there were snow here in the Philippines, what would I possibly look like?? LOL

Rushing not to be late on the mass proper, we walk and run to get to the church on time, and oh the joy of having a husband to embrace you while walking on a very cold street.. ;)

Not my first time to see people outside at 330AM and i wonder again; I don’t know if other churches are like ours, lots of people are lining up outside, lots of vendors and lots of different noises too! Fiesta atmosphere really it is! I wondered where did they get all the energy on that so early morning.. If it is not a mass, I wont be getting my butt up.. I miss sleeping already. Hahah

Oh well, that is all for today, coz it will be another simbang gabi tomorrow, it is a must once again to sleep and rise earlier, take a frozen bath, endure cold weather outside and sing my heart out! Wish me luck.. to take a bath! LOL

My Christmas wish list

Twenty days to go before Christmas and here i am wishing again. I have been on deep thinking if i should post it here, afraid and shy that my ever good blogging friend who surprised me with my nancy laptop might grant this lists again on the spot, heheh.

But i am writing it here now nonetheless for my 'santa'. I wish he has time reading this, coz this is what i am wishing this christmas time.

1. 2gb (or higher) flash drive for my nancy laptop

2. 4 Books of the twilight saga by stephenie meyer

(i already have ebooks but i want to have all the four books. all my books will be a hand down to my yena - i want her to love reading too.)

Dont cry out loud..

Ang nakaraan..

December 20, 2006 - ETPI Finance Christmas Party

Kakaluha sa kahihiyan: Ang di malilimutang performance night (waaaaah! i dont want to be reminded!) nagkalat lang naman ako! Pero infairness danda costume namen.. at nakuha namen ang 1st Prize noh. But that will never equal the shame and scandal ive done. i admit i am a poor dancer, really! yaiks talaga. next chika please!!

Kakaluha sa takot: Mas may kadiri pa sa mga kadiri akong naeksperyens dito! tatlong beses ba namang sabihin sa'ken ang mga katagang ito "iuuwi kta!!!" at karipas na ko ng pag uwe.. buti na lng at sinundo ako ni baby. :)

December 21, 2006 - Best One Christmas Party

After effet of kahihiyan: Wala akong hangover sa previous party, 8pm pa lang nkauwe na ko noh! ciempre pa mahirap na, ayoko pong maiuwe ni "lolo". never! over my dead bootylicious body! weheheheh. Pero parang sabog akong pumasok.. natatakot akong lumingon baka anjan na sya at di ko pa nakikita... yay. trauma ata ako! di na talaga ako sasayaw or kakagat ng labi or BOTH. YAIKS tlga ako! yan tuloy..

Kakaiyak na nakakatuwang takutan: Lunch time, sa glorietta (chuchal!) Saisaki c/o Boss Kits! Lufet talaga.. ayoto tlaga ng japanese food! once i tasted it sa BentoBox (nung birthday ko!) at promise ko sa sarili ko na LAST na yun! yaw ko tlga ng lasa, i swear! :) Sushi and Maki tasted just fine, pero ang Salmon Sashimi???!! YOKO!!

at ang pananakot ni Boss "Iuuwi ka ni "lolo" o kakainin mo tong Sashimi!"

"Boss magpapauwe na lang po ako!" LOL

Ang ending, di ko pa rin kinain. Tigas Talaga ulo ko eh!

Kakaluhang asaran: Asaran, dito nag eexcel ng sobra ang baby ko, tuwang tuwa siyang naaasar at napipika ako sa kanya! habang party panalo na naman siya, di ko nabilang kung ilang beses akong napikon.. pero ok lng nanalo naman kami sa game.. weheheh. at ang prize? jewelry box! :)

December 22, 2006 - The Ring

Luha ng kagalakan: May pasok pa sa opisina, pero dahil sa "puyat" ng nagdaang party.. we decided not to go to work na lang.. sabi ni baby bili na lng daw kmi ng matagal na namen parehong pinapangarap bilhin.. ang aming wedding ring! :) yahooo!

After praying and blessing of the ring sa Sta Cruz, naghanap na kmi ng 501, yes si levi's nga.. ang lagi niyang kinukulit saken (ang galing po kasi may free na white shirt, heheheh) and what touched me was, the smile on his face, ahhh PRICELESS! thanks mastercard! :)

and speaking of Mastercard. Thanks tlga.. Priceless din ang ngiti ng mga kapatid kong c Aya at Lui at ang fave kong niece na si Iya nung nagshopping kami.

At ang mga pamangkin kong makukulet hanggang tenga rin ang ngiti.. all the best siyempre para saan pang nagttrabaho si ate, it's all for them! yaiks. heheheh

thanks mastercard. now i have to work double time to pay you. mahirap mabankrupt! kakaiyak yun!! :D

December 23, 2006 - Shopping again??

Kakaiyak sa pagod: It was a planned day, punta ng SM to buy something for Macky and Chang2, my baby's brother and nephew. at ang laging pahirap.. si baby di na naman nakakapag withdraw!! na naman. basta daming beses na kaming lumalabas na naghahanap ng ATM. ang siste, sobrang haba ng mga pila!! pero naging "OK DIN" after 48 years. next time tlga magpapakagirlscout na ako! yun lang!

December 24, 2006 - 3 Masses, 1 Missed

Missed: 4am mass- As usual, tulo laway akong nagising ng 4:30am. palpak na naman ang alarm ko! kamusta naman?! call time sa choir ng 3:30am, para sa last simbang gabi!! weheheh. so dahil late na ko, tinuloy ko na lang si tulog ko! :)

9:00am mass went just fine. hayun di lang pala ako ang tinaghali ng gising at di naka attend ng 4am mass! heheh. si leader of the band humabol lang din pala! :) ninerbyos si baby.. hehehe nagsolo ba naman sa pagtugtog! sayang di ko napanood ang panginginig niya!

after mass, me and kat had a heart-to-heart talk. haaay. miss talking to her! so much. miss ko na rin ang tropang PLM ko. huhuhuh. pero hindi na tlaga ako ung tulad ng dati.. ngayon, i dnt tell everything na. more than half of what i feel, im keeping it all inside me. naiyak ako while talking to her.. pero iba na rin. di na ko nagbabaha ngayon.. i guess im much stronger now! or maybe now is not yet the time to tell it all out.. not now. maybe never. :(

9pm mass: i cant cry out loud! tears of joy po eto. if only i can attend the mass with the whole family just like last year.. pero iba na ngayon. sana sooner matanggap na nila ang desisyon ko. i just have one wish this christmas at yun na yun! ACCEPTANCE! yun lang! maybe only time can tell.. pero sana time bilisan mo ha, before i run out of time! LOL

after mass i cant cry out loud, pero ang hirap ng feeling na maghihiwalay at uuwe na sa kanya kanyang bahay. i wish to spend christmas with him and my family, kaya lng bomalabs pa sa pinakabomalabs eh! ang hirap po kuya eddie.. now ko lang naekspi eto! haaaay.

sana next year, maayos na ang lahat. (eyes closed, fingers crossed!!)
