last blast for summer

Tetet, my sister in-law, celebrated her birthday last June 11, 2006 at 8 Waves in Bulacan. We stayed overnight in their hotel & it was fun! I really enjoyed the man-made waves there for it was close to the real thing. Sad thing though, I had an asthma attack & I was not able to bring my maintenance medicine with me. I woke my husband up at around 5:30 am to have coffee (since it is anti-oxidant & somehow it eases my attack). Unfortunately, there was no coffee shop in the hotel and there's only Pancake House inside it which does not open until 7:00 a.m. So we went out hoping to find even a7-11 or any convenience store , but we were unsuccessful. We ended up in a carinderia cum beerhouse at night (yes, I was that desperate for a coffee). Funny thing was, there was a man sleeping near the counter with a Red Horse beer in his hand, the carinderia personnel were trying to wake him up but to no avail. One more thing, according to the lady who served us, the sleeping man even had a companion who was sleeping in their bathroom! One of their staff wants to pee but couldn't since somebody was in there, sleeping. Hahaha! Oh well, it was a relaxing weekend for all us. Here are some pics;)

tired

Current state: Tired

I was sooo busy with work lately that I could hardly breathe! Even when I sleep at night, I usually dream of it...my husband even heard me sleep talking as if I was talking to somebody at work...pathetic! I could not even update this blog of mine with all the things that happened in the past 2 weeks. I am just so tired and today is one of those days that I wish I am somewhere else... relaxing. Sigh:(

blah...blah...blah

- I got sick last week...I was not able to go to work last Monday & slept the whole day. Trian was with me & she was my official "utusan" since I was too weak to move (yun nga lang muntik nya ng maubos ang stock of food nmen,hehe). Tuesday, I had to go to work even if I was still not feeling well 'coz I had to finish the payroll (baka mag-aklas ang mga empleyado). Wednesday I took a leave again to rest, I was still weak. And when I came back last Thursday, my work piled up & until now I am oh sooo busy!

- We were finally called to make our membership in Couples for Christ official. We met at Tito Mel & Tita Daday's place (their house is so nice). We were introduced to our future household heads and fellow members. We knew most of them since we were together in SFC (different chapters nga lang) and most of us got married last December. We are having our official first household meeting this coming Saturday, June 3. I must say that I'm psyched up 'coz I really miss attending households and it's almost six months since I last attended in SFC.

- My younger siblings Third & Trian, spent the weekend with us since Jeng & JM attended the Tobits weekend in Tagaytay. It was a blast! We talked & ate non-stop (I made sure that I have plenty of food in the fridge since I know they eat so much) and we also made some crinkles (palpak nga lang yung shape but it was yummy!). We also watched X-men in Eastwood which we all enjoyed.

- Speaking of Eastwood, Kokoy & I chanced upon Passage Band there last Sunday. As you know, TM has a booth there and the said band was their guest in their live broadcast. We just heard them sing 2 songs... an old one, "You Won't See Me Crying" which was a hit back in the 90s and one of their new songs which was actually a revival, "Perfect Combination". Seeing them perform brings back memories of high school when we used to watch them in Music Hall back to back with Side A. I must say that despite of the new bands coming in, they can still be considered as one of the best. Good thing Lucci (their female lead singer) came back after enjoying motherhood. She can still capture you with her sweet but powerful voice and Mark (male lead singer) can still belt out any tune. I did enjoy listening to them, hope I could watch them soon in a real gig.

- Lastly, I would just like to greet some friends & family members who are celebrating their birthdays, my high school friend Farrah & my cousin Ryan ( both May 31), Chang Che (June 1), my cousin Ate Joan (June 2) and last but not the least, my little big bro Third (June 3)! Happy Birthday to all of you & may you enjoy God's blessings as you go through this journey called life!
