Our Wedding album

After 10 months of waiting, finally we got our wedding album. Paul texted me last Sunday (Aug. 5, 2007) that our album, blow up picture and 100 loose prints are now ready for pick up. Finally, wala na mangungulit sa akin na maghahanap kung asan na ang album dahil gawa na hahaha. I didn't know na bago na office ni Paul at Ivy. Dun pa din kaso sa kabilang street lang nga. Mas ok yung office niya ngayon kasi yung office niya before nakakahilo puntahan ... literally ... spiral staircase up to the 3rd floor! Can you imagine that?

It's placed in a hard box in a cushioned black bag. Biglang nag-flashback ang memories bigla. Ibig sabihin magaling talaga si Paul in capturing our moments. Now you can say that I'm another happy Paul Vincent bride. I love our album sobra! Mom said nga dadalhin nya na daw sa office nila para makita. Sabi ko ingatan nila, masyado mahal pa-duplicate nun hehehe. Ang sungit eh no?

Naku Paul, see you on our 25th wedding anniversary. Sana kaya pa din namin ang rate nyo hehehe.

Hmmm ... yung wedding video? Tanong nyo kay Shierdan Pamintuan, alam niya ang sagot. Kasi ako, I have no idea kung kailan niya ibibigay yun hehehe.

Identification card

I'm married to Jason for almost 10 months now, and I still haven't got any I.D. cards, not one, bearing my new surname. Why is that? I don't have a job so no company I.D. in hand. My driver's license is due on my birthday this year so I spared for a while my attempt to change my status and surname until December 2007. I didn't have the chance to apply for an SSS ID when I was still working. My kuya Stanley is going to SSS on Thursday or Friday to apply for his ID as well. Sasama ako sa kanya so that I could have my SSS ID bearing my new surname.

Today, I applied for my postal I.D. It took us two days to work on it because a slight of delay happened when we got our barangay clearance in our barangay. Nakarating kami sa barangay hall ng 12:30. Obviously, lunch time pa. 1:30 pa bumalik yung person na nag-aasikaso ng clearance. Problem pa, sira xerox nila, so we have to look for the nearest place to photocoy our documents. It also took another 30 minutes for the barangay captain to sign our postal I.D. form. Another factor was the rain ... kahit san kami mapunta eh umuulan huhuhu! After going to our baranggay hall, we go straight to NSO to claim our documents ... marriage certificate for me and birth certificate for my brother and his girlfriend. Grabe ang haba ng pila. Twice pa kami nasingitan. Mga nag-iinarte pa eh obvious na obvious na nga na sumisingit sila. Hindi nalang namin pinatulan. Bahala na si Lord sa kanila. Anyway, since 4:00pm na umuwi na kami at resume nalang tomorrow ulit.

Kanina naayos na namin lahat ng documents. Thumbmark nalang ang kulang. As usual, naabutan nanaman kami ng lunchtime. My bad coz nagising ako ng late. So late na din kami nakaalis ng bahay. Kaya pumunta muna kami kay Paul Vincent. After nun balik kami ng city hall... ayun ok na. Maki-claim na namin sa Thursday. Pero malamang sa Friday na namin kukunin. Coding ang kotse pag Thursday. I'm quite excited about this one. Oh can't wait!

I'm a 7

Soup
What was the last thing that made you laugh out loud?

me, my hubby and my in-laws watched a show in a comedy bar last weekend. The comedians are so hilarious ... that was one of the best laugh and the loudest, too. Plus you get to share it with your love ones :)

Salad
Who is your favorite cartoon character?

Winnie the Pooh

Main Course
Tell about the funniest teacher you ever had.

She's funny in terms of physical appearance. Don't get me wrong, she's a good Science teacher, but she have this dark circles around her eyes that my classmates would always tease her as Undertaker (the wrestler). No concealer would ever conceal her eyebags. I don't know how she got it. Maybe too much stress.

Dessert
Complete this sentence: I strongly believe that ______________________.

I strongly believe that there's nothing impossible with God.

Malunggay

I love malunggay. I really do ... kaso ang nakakainis lang sa pagluluto ng malunggay eh yung preparation. You have to get rid all the stalks para maging edible siya. Imagine mo naman kasi if you eat malunggay na di tinatanggal yung tangkay hehehe. Someone sent dad a whole native chicken already half cooked, ready to cook na kumbaga. Ilokano way of tinola does not consist of green papaya and dahon ng sili but malunggay and ampalaya. Weird ba? You should try it, its so masarap. Pero it's best cooked with native chicken only ... we've tried it using the common chicken you buy in supermarket, hindi siya ganun kasarap.

-ooOoo-

Congratulations to EJ Litiatco for giving birth to a bouncing baby boy. So gwapong baby ... sana sa amin din ganun ka-gwapo ang maging baby namin hehehe.

-ooOoo-

I failed to watch the 1st episode of CSI Miami's new season due to unexpected reasons ... nakakainis na reason na ayoko na i-mention. Pero I'll tell you in time ... kainis no, ngayon palang pinapalabas dito sa Pinas yung new season ng CSI Miami, samantalang in other parts of the world tapos na ata siya.

Rockin Girl Blogger

Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket

Wella left a message on my tag board and telling me to visit her site. So I did and found out that she nominated me as one of the Rockin Girl Blogger. Oh stop Wella... I'm blushing joke! Since Wella is an exception because she already voted for me, I'll tell something about how we became online buddies. We are in the same group called Weddings At Work. It's an e-group for Filipina bride-to-be forum where in we share some ideas on wedding stuffs and suppliers. It all started with an email and became a fan of her blog. Actually she's the one who inspired me to have my own blog. And there's a time she helped me on editing my blog template. I haven't met her in person, but I could say she's a true friend. You can tell her everything under the sun. She'll make you laugh on her witty replies. To know more about her ... just visit her site here.

And here are my nominees for the Rockin Girl Blogger. So I tag:

1. Bianca - ok, this girl doesn't know me, but I've been a fan of her blog way back 2004. She's a showbiz personality by the way (obviously, I'm not) and I've found out a different side of her through her blog. There were a lot of her entries that really moved me. She's so smart, kikay and so pretty.

2. Mec - just like Wella, I met her through W@W. She's really good in what she writes. Wishing someday I could be like her, writing in English fluently. Her writing skill is so amazing. I've felt the need for a dictionary whenever I pass by her blog. Some words aren't that common to my sight, and I have to read the definition of the word. Being a bookworm herself, she might have got it through reading. I remember me once when I bought this certain pocket book by Anne Rice with so many words that I have no idea what it means ... I tried to write them down on my notebook and find it on the dictionary to understand the meaning of it. Back to Mec, I love how she deals with life with style. She knows everything, she's a know-it-all girl. That's how I see her through her blog.

3. Mai - She's one of the few who inspired me on digiscrapping (digital scrapbooking). Met her on W@W as well, she's one of those people who inspired me to release those creative juices and express it through digital scrapbooking. Too bad, I'm not as artistic as her. I can only do a few, but she can do it a hundred times. Go visit her blog, she has everything on it.

4. Cheche - I love her pay-per-post blogs. Like Mai, they are very informative and at the same time, they get to be paid just by blogging. And have you seen her photos? She's one hell of a great photographer. Do we need to hear where I met this girl? Where else ... at W@W hehehe! W@Wies are bloggers as well. It's our way of sharing our wedding ideas to other bride to be. And Cheche did a great job. Although we don't have common suppliers, she helped me with some details of her wedding through her blog.

5. Thet - I met her through W@W and exchange some emails before I stumbled into her blog. This girl rocks! Hehehe ... She's so outspoken, she doesn't care what other people would say, she just let it out. She's hard on the outside but soft on the inside. Family is always first on her list. She hates being mushy but if she did end up like that ... not bad... keep trying hehehe! Just kidding girl :)

From now on

From now on, I'll stop blogging about pregnancy issues. But I want to let you know that hubby and I are now in the process of producing the prettiest baby there is. For now, all I need is your prayers that everything would turn out fine. And I'm also praying to God to grant us our wish ... ok enough said.

~ooOoo~

Tonight, Jason and I are going out with my in-laws. It was Mommy Perlie's birthday (Jason's mom) last Saturday. Since Jamie is in Palawan, Kuya Jade was with a patient, Jason is in a tournament and Mommy Perlie didn't file a leave of absence for her day, we just called it off and celebrate it tonight. The last time I went out on a gimik was last May or June... I couldn't remember. I seldom go out now. Hayz... ano nanaman ang isusuot ko waaaaaaaaah!

~ooOoo~

We watched a show on a local channel last Thursday... the topic is Mahirap Maging Genius. Do you still remember Shaira Luna? The Promil Gifted Child who already know the anatomy of the human body at the age of 4 I think. To summarize the whole story, I think she never enjoyed her childhood days. Because based on her stories, that time she's busy excelling in all things like academics, play different music instruments (piano, violin, flute and drums... and she's all good at it), do gymnastics, joining competitions etc. There was a time in her life that she got tired of studying ... shifted course for several times already... I think it's 5 courses ... and still an undergrad. Right now, she's a professional photographer doing prenups and weddings. It's something she wanted all her life. She also said that she doesn't care if she's undergrad. Maybe for some people, having a diploma can do wonders. But for her, it isn't. And the career path she have chosen was something she will keep forever.

They also featured some 4 year old kids who are genius as well. Imagine, he was asked about global warming, he answered it well detailed. He also know who Al Gore is. I thought kids only know Dora or Big Bird.

~ooOoo~

Huhum... boring! Have a nice day guys!

MIA

Here's one reason why I haven't post any entries this past few days.

Your Blog is locked


Blogger's Spam-prevention robots have detected that your blog has characteristics of a spam blog. Since you're an actual person reading this, your blog is probably not a spam blog. Automated spam detection is inherently fuzzy, and we sincerely apologize for this false positive.

We received your unlock request on July 19, 2007. On behalf of the robots, we apologize for locking your non-spam blog. Please be patient while we take a look at your blog and verify that it is not spam.

The other reason is because I'm tinatamad again. Maybe it's the hormones. Guess what? It's been 5 days of inducing but still no period. Hmmm...
