Pipino. Papaya. Pakwan

Sa dinami-dami ng libro, sa Filipino pa rin ang tuloy.

Marahil, hindi na bago sa inyong pandinig ang ngalan nitong awtor na ito at ang mga librong naisulat nya. Makabayan ang tema ng mga likha niya. Sa wikang gamit pa lamang, Pinoy na Pinoy na! (hindi ito blind item episode) Dagdadan mo pa ng makatotohanang pangyayari sa buhay ng isang Pilipino sa araw-araw. Haluan mo pa ng mga kalokohan na sa Pilipinas mo lang matututunan. Sabayan pa ng mga karakter na hindi paniguradong araw-araw, kundi man ay nakasalubong mo na o nabalitaan mo na sa balita kahit isang beses. 
Sino ba namang hindi naaliw, natututo at hindi nakaka-kilala sa mga obra ni Bob Ong? (ang mga bagong panganak at ang mga hindi pa isinisilang malamang)

Pu-pwede bang laki-lakihan ang karatula? Hindi yata kasi mabasa ng mga pasahero. O sadyang hindi maintindihan. Bakit ba naman kasi Ingles pa kung maaari namang Tagalog na lamang ang sulat. Sa mga National Highways siguro pwede na ang Ingles. Sa ibang bansa tulad na lamang ng Malaysia, isang turistang Amerikano na napadpad doon, at nabasa ang nasa pulang karatula na may walong sulok (octagon ho) na nagsasabing "Berhenti". Naintindihan mo ba 'yon? Miski ako hindi eh.amp! Gi-noogle ko pa translation nun! Ibig pa lang sabihin ay "stop" o hinto. Simpleng salita na kung iisipin natin eh maiintindihan naman ng mga taga-roon, nguit mas pinili nila gamitin ang kanilang katutubong salita upang mas lubos na maunawaan ng kanilang mamamayan. 'Yan, naiisip ko tuloy sadyang matitigas lang ulo ng mga Pilipino. Kung saan bawal, dun sumasakay. Kung ano'ng masama, s'yang ginagawa. Bwahahahahaha!!

Dikit (parang may glue) ang likod ko sa kama (dikit na dikit pala parang may Mighty Bond) tuwing oras ng pagbangon sa umaga. Dahil ba trabaho ang haharapin o ganun lang talaga? Puyat ako at hindi, ganoon lagi ang pakiramdam. Ewan ko ba kung bakit ka'y aga-aga ang laking tukso ng pagtulog sa batas ng pagttrabaho. Hindi na nakakapag-taka kung bakit bihira ang emplayadong walang tala ng LATE sa time-in. Masaya ako at hindi ako nag-iisa. hahahaha! Ang sama ko ba? Hindi ako bad influence ha. Sadyang nalalate lang sila! Belat! hehehe Natural na ata sa bawat tao ang may 'katam' na sa tingin ko ay normal. Aminin! Minsan habang nanonood ka ng TV at nahulog sa sahig ang remote ay pina-paa mo imbes na pulitin mo ng kamay. Tanda mo pa ba nung sobrang excited ka sa darating na SALE sa mall ngunit tinamad ka na dahil alam mong traffic papunta doon? Eh 'yung pag-papaxerox mo ng notes ng klasmeyt mo kasi hindi ka naka-kopya (kasi sampung whiteboard ang haba ng pinakopya ng guro ninyo at sinadya mong wag nalang kumopya) na kinumbinsi mo pa ang sarili mo na mas okay 'yun dahil kumpleto marereview mo kumpara kung ikaw ang nagsulat ay sayang lang ang effort dahil isho-shortcut mo lang ang bawat salita na sa huli, ikaw mismo hindi mo maintindihan ang sulat-kamay mo. 

Bata't matanda'y walang ligtas
Sa katamaran na sadyang likas 
Huwag lang magiging madalas
Dahil t'yak wala na itong lunas

Magpapasko na ang lahat ay kay saya (maliban lamang sa ga taong kahit may vacation leave pa ay hindi makapag-leave dahil sa hinahabol na deadlines). Abala ang karamihan sa pamimili ng mga regalo at paghahanda sa mga party na dadaluhan. Malamig na rin ang simoy ng hangin (kahit papaano sa hapon at madaling araw) at ang aircon dito sa aming opisina ay lalong nagyeyelo sa lamig. Kinakailangan kong mag-jacket dahil para akong nasa Baguio! Brrr! Ako ay busog. Idagdag mo pa ang lamig na nakakapanginig, kung kaya't nakakaantok. Salamat na lamang sa mga taong hindi patay sa paligid ko. Hindi ka mapapanisan ng laway dito sa pwesto ko. Tas matingkad ang kulay ng cubicle gawa ng area decoration contest dito sa opisina. Makaka-panalamin ka nga sa kintab, yun nga lang distorted ang imahe mo.hahaha! Pero nakakabuhay talaga sa mata. Iinom ko pa ng malamig na tubig.
Mabalik tayo sa pasko. Kumpleto na ba ang gift list mo? Hindi yung mga hinihingi mo kay Santa, kundi yung mga regalo sa mga bibigyan mo. Sa nanay mo, tatay, kapatid, lolo't lola, mga tiyo at tiya, bespren mo, kapitbahay, sa isang katerbang inaanak mo, ka-exchange gift mo, kaaway mo (na pwede mong regaluhan ng pla-pla for advance happy new year), sa yaya mo, sa aso mo, at daga sa inyong bahay. Kung ganyang kahaba ang listahan mo, hindi ko na huhulaan, dahil siguradong mamumulubi ka. Pero uso na naman ang tiangge ngayon. Madami ding palabas na nagtuturo ng mga lugar kung saan mura mamili at nagbibigay ng tipid tips. Ang siste lang, minsan yung ibang nireregaluhan, choosy! Sasabihin pa sayo kung san mo nabili yung regalo nya na ang dating, ikaw pa ang may hindi alam kung saan mo yun nabili gawa ng hiya. Mga tao nga naman, sadyang iba-iba.hahaha! Kung ako yun, binawi ko na regalo ko sa kanya. Ayaw mo, wag mo! Pero biro lang yun, dahil Christmas season naman, di dapat magpauso ng kabayolentihan.
Ako eto tag-hirap na. Parang gusto ko nang agawin yung kesong hinanda ko para sa bubwit sa bahay namin. May kulang pa nga akong dapat bilhin. Naalala ko nung bata ako, ang yaman ko. Yumaman ako ng walang puhunan kundi ang pagsasabi lang ng "Mano po." (Sana pwedeng ganun sa buong taon ano? Magpapaka-sobrang-super-galang na ako kung ganun!) Magka-isang libo lang ako nun pakiramdam ko meron akong madaming salapi sa magkabilang kamay na pu-pwedeng ipamaypay. Ang tangi mo lang aalalahanin ay pano pa madadag-dagan ang kaban ng kayamanan (kala mo negosyante ka na nagpapalago ng korporasyon kung kaya't kulang na lang ay mai-stress ka sa pag-iisip).
Ngayon, nagttrabaho ka na. Ang iniisip mo na ay paano pagkakasyahin ang hawak mong pera sa dami ng gastusin. Yung 13th month pay, parang bula lang. Isang pasada mo lang sa mall, voila! wala! hahahaha

Nakakatuwa namang magbigay, dadaan yung oras na mapapaisip ka kung papaano naubos ng ganung kabilis. Pero kung titingnan mo, maswerte ka pa rin at ikaw ang nakakapag-bigay. Hindi yung habambuhay kang naghihintay ng may mag-aabot sa'yo na para kang bata. Isa lang ang tanong pag ganun. Nagsumikap ka ba o tinamad ka na?

♪ Santa That's My Only Wish This Year ♫



Canon is my ULTIMATE xmas wish.hahaha! 
I've compared T2i from T3i. Specs-wise, T2i is not far from what t#i has to offer. 
Except from the swiveling monitor T3i has, all others are closely the same. 
So why spend another 5k for that?haha So I've decided Santa.. 
T2i it is! I'm very much a budgetarian..right? right? ^____^

I want this PURRfume a lot santa! Just as much as how i love Katy Perry!
I'm quite eager buying it from Nordstrom online, 
but  I guess you'll be generous enough to give me this. :D

If ever you have a hard time hunting down PURR,
This'll be my second option.. Escada Ocean Lounge.
I won't be choosy, it can either be Ibizza Hippie, Sunset Heat,
Moon Sparkle, Taj Sunset, or even the older yet
very lovable scent of Pacific Paradise will do. haha!
The mini collection will be lovely as well! :D

Here are the options for my Xmas footwear Santa!
Aren't they lovely?? :D  I really think that Vivienne Westwood
would be the perfect fit! :D Lady Dragon in any color! :D

 
Satchels would match the planned Xmas outfit. :)
I'll need one to fill in the goodies I'll receive as well as the goodies I'll give! :D
This one's from Topshop. Any color is okay as long as it's leather :D


Quite short but those are really the things I'd like to have for Christmas.
Just one will make a litol girl like me really really happy! :))

The Sweet-tooth & The Dream ☺

Like any other person who has their dream house built in their minds, I'm no different..
I have this picture of a huge country-meets-modern type of house where I'll be living in the near future..

But the big picture focuses more on a spacious kitchen; An island enough to accommodate me cooking and my future husband sitting on a tall chair excited to taste the food I'm about to serve. Books on some of the kitchen corners & shelves standing near a tea-table for 2. All my cooking tools and needs are present. A wide fridge & an oven big enough to roast a turkey. A kitchen that's very neat-looking, with mini-floral printed curtains that'll add-up to its cozy feel.. :)

I love cooking. I'm not a pro yet but I'm not bad at all.
My grandma is the kitchen expert. The guru cooks really really well, and delicious! I've watched her cook since I was 7. She has become my eye-opener. I stood beside her every time she started the motion of the spatula and the pan. Asking is what I always do then. I do errands which makes me feel I'm a chef's assistant. I volunteered on sauteing the garlic and onion next. Until I can do cooking myself. 



My cooking endevour grew as I age. 
I learn cooking of what I crave for. Desserts are my childhood cravings (until now I guess). I'm guilty for being a sweet-tooth, so my mom never forgets reminding me to ALWAYS brush my teeth, if not twice a day, at least BEFORE I go to SLEEP! And btw, my mom's a dentist. ^_____^

I'm no Italian or Chinese but I love how pasta and noodles roll in my mouth. 
Yes, I soooo love pasta dishes!! It's so goood I can exchange everything for it (except for desserts..and my baby! :P) and that's how my passion for learning pasta recipes came to life.lol Well, seriously, I always have this mouthwatering feeling whenever I see cooking shows that features pasta dishes. My family even asked me (more than once) if I don't pall eating it. The answer has been a consistent "NO", rather I give them a very mirthful explanation which signifies clearly of how I feel seeing one, making one, especially..eating one! :D

I prefer it in bed than anywhere else..



I'm taking the title literally! That's not something to green about ok? lol!
A typical day in my room.. Am I too lame to use the table or what?
So this is one tamad moment for me; When I use my laptop on my bed, even when my mom tells me to use the table so I can sit on a chair and fix my sitting posture.


I've got my own not-so-personal reasons why I like using my laptop in bed:
1. It's wider than a table. The feeling that I'm sitting on top of the table myself .hahaha!!
2. I can lay down anytime.
3. Much more comfy!
4. I can not just sit. I can use the laptop in any position I like. hahaha!
5. I've been infront of a desk 8 hours a day, 5 times a week. (except on meals and weekdays)


That's just a few but I sound quite reasonable right? But I'm also aware that I really really have to work on my posture.



Toodles!!

My only wish..

Oh we love Christmas!! Who doesn't? ^___^
Haven't done my Christmas shopping "yet".. But I'm having the equal feeling of excitement & so much joy by listening to a bunch of Christmas songs! :)
So right now, I'm downloading new revivals of Christmas songs, and some original versions which I totally prefer.. :)

Oh! and how can I forget Eloise, her Chic-chic dress, & her literally LONG Christmas giftlist & wishlist ! Geez geez geez! I'm definitely watching the movie again..and again..and again! :D


She somehow inspired the theme of my blog, "Think Pink! A better way of life!" hahahaha!!
So for me, I'd love to have a really Chic-Chic shoes, which spells Vivienne Westwood Lady Dragon in Glitter Pink.haha!



PS: Do watch ELOISE! Highly recommended! :D
Toodles*

Stay With You ♥


We've been together for a while now
We're growing stronger everyday now
It feels so good and there's no doubt
I will stay with you 



Oh I'll stay with you through the ups and the downs
Oh I'll stay with you when no one else is around

And when the dark clouds arrive
I will stay by your side
I know we'll be alright
I will stay with you

Though relationships can get old
They have the tendency to grow cold
We have something like a miracle
Yeah, and I'll stay with you


{ Chorus }

And there will be heartaches and pains, yes it will
But through it all, we will remain
In this life, we all know
Friends may come, and they may go
Through the years I know
I will stay
And in the end I know that we'll find
Love so beautiful and divine
We'll be lovers for a lifetime, yeah
And I'll stay with you
I will stay with you


{ Chorus }

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 


A song by John Legend which I dedicate to my baby. 
Truly, love will never be the same without you..
That's why I promise to stay with you for the rest of our lives.. 
Through anything, I'll always be here..♥

E.L.F mi love!

Eyes.Lips.Face = E.L.F.

ELF has been my college favorite and up to now I'm still using it..:)
I've heard from a friend that ELF uses mineral oil in their make-ups, making it compatible for sensitive skin.
It was indeed, an attention-catcher and a total PLUS!

In this photo:  (Clockwise) 
Eye Widener & Waterproof Mascara
Eye Widener (opened) & Shimmer Pencil
ELF brightening eye color (in shades of purple)


I tried'em out one night 'cause I'm excited to use my new mini palette. I called it "Midnight-Eyeshade" since the effect looked like the midnight skies. :)


Now how do I look? ^________^

J'adore floraux


So how about love for FLORALS? :)
For the past months, I've been diggin' floral prints.. Not just on tops, but in dresses and bottoms too!

Love it YES.
It makes you feel more of a girl when you wear one. All because it's an exclusive print for women. You won't expect a guy wear one, or even BUY one!
Wearing a flow-y dress with this print on, gives you GOOD vibes! Seems like everything else around, becomes beautiful. Like you wanna skip around instead of walking straight..(Don't you get that feeling too? ^^,)

You stand out girl!
While all others wear plain, checkered, stripes, polka.... Your outfit would never be a combination of theirs.
So carry it out. Chin-up. Feel the wind! :)

Chic-Chic. 
There's nothing more chic than floral prints. J'adore polkas, but sorry, it didn't the chic-chic level for me.. ;)

Florals will never go out of style. Not until there are still flowers blooming around! :)

Anybody's Heart

Never thought I'd hurt this much
Never thought I'd post this pain
But I got nowhere to go
Am now in vain..

I really thought I can endure it all

Never thought I'd break down and cry
I hate to say that I feel so weak
My only strength just defeated me


I've always believed in a perfect love
And a gush of reality suddenly strikes;
It hit me hard, I was caught off-guard
Tried to ignore, but it burned me inside





I would've let myself believe
That love could end in just a blink
but still I tried to tell myself
Give it a chance, who am I to tell?

Sometimes it does feels so right
Am blind to see the other side
I wish I knew, I wish I don't
So I could live this life in joy..




















There's so much left for me to fear
The trust I gave, I just got tears
It's hard to earn, now it's hard to give
it entails my life, my heart, my glee

How could one hurt you this much
You wish he's never the one you loved
But then again, life is unfair
Now you're broken, and just can breathe no air..



"I was yours, I was yours
And the heart that you broke
Was devoted and pure
And it wasn't just anybody's heart"

I love this app I downloaded for my Ipod. ^__^
I can just simply write down whatever I want to. Especially mini love notes for my baby!♥
Made this for him..for our 20th monthsary! I'm not really into counting the days  or months;
In fact, I have to compute last night how many months we've been together
since we don't make a big deal out of numbers.
We believe that there's something much important than counting,
That is we enjoy every time we can spend together or apart. =')

It's the LITTLE things that counts big! ^_______________^
So this is how we spent the last minutes of our day..
{Actually, we realized that after it turned past 12 midnight already.}
I don't know what hit me that I picked the cam and started taking pictures.haha!
Too bad, baby can't take a shot, because the laptop brightness is reflecting on his fone.haha
So there he is, PRETEDING! LOL! I love you babe! :D

Notice the date..
Sunday :: 1/23
Check the time..
10:43PM - 12:33PM

Yes. hindi nman namin cnasaja, pero nakaktuwa. ^__________^

{Here There & Everywhere}

To lead a better life, I need my love to be here
Here,
making each day of the year
changing my life with a wave of her hand
nobody can deny that there's something there
There, running my hands through her hair.
Both of us thinking how good this could be.
Someone is speaking
But she doesn't know he's there.
I want her everywhere
and if she's beside me, I know I need never care
But to love her is to meet her everywhere
knowing that love is to share
each one believing that love never dies
watching her eyes and hoping I'm always there
I will be there, and everywhere
Here, there, and everywhere.
