Living Mye Life

But for the sake of the children, we endured all the lines and people just to watch Shake, Rattle and Roll X and we manage to get a better seat and my hubby was sleeping most of the scenes because he said it's boring and he can’t believe he’s watching it (ha-ha!) but the children did really enjoy the movie. After that, we braced the heavy rain just to fulfill my promise to my best friend Emy that I will go to their house that evening. She gave me a camera case and it's so pretty! And we finally reached home, It was a very Happy Christmas after all.

Our Christmas feast...yum! yum!

with the whole family!

Kids enjoying their gifts =)

I can't believe its actually raining! Good thing we already bought all the things we needed and we may not go back at the market again ( I hope!) Suddenly, i felt really really tired. Since I wake up early this morning and the moment we stepped inside our house back from the market, I've been working non-stop preparing foods for Noche Buena. But its okay, I enjoy cooking for them. And i need to make it good!

Hubby wants me to go out with him today. He said he'll by me my Christmas gift. But i want to sleep. Thinking I'll b doing lots of stuffs in the kitchen, makes me feel tired again. And he has another job for me to do, wrapping his little gifts for his office mates. Whew! But they're cute though.... see?

Well, got some great news from the office! January 2 is now officially a non-working holiday! Wow!, long vacation indeed! Clap!clap!clap!

By request again, menu for tonight will be; buko pandan salad, baked macaroni, graham cake, relyenong bangus, roasted pork, grilled pusit (squid), chicken lollipop and chopseuy. I need a cape so I can transform into a Super Cook! Haha! I might need to drink red bull for an extra energy. Hubby or Mom might be kind enough to lend a helping hand. The good thing is my whole family will be spending Christmas with us here! I'm so happy and this is the second year they'd be doing that, and it will surely be fun!

Today is my Ate Lhen's 40th birthday. Yes, i know she's so proud that she reached the age of 40 being healthy, jolly, cheerful and most of all - the kindest ate i know. We gave her a party last Saturday and we fulfilled her childhood dreams - of having a children party she once dreamed off (haha!) And so, me and my youngest sister planned for this, with the cake, balloons, tables and chairs, banners and lots of food. And she was really surprised! We can see the big smile she had on her face when she saw the set-ups in the garden and i'm so happy for her.

Giving all the credit for the love, support, being the eldest in our family, Ate Lhen was the one who really helped me to get through the college finances. She's one of the kind. We had a lot of arguments and been through rough times but at the end of it all, blood is really thicker than water.

I just want to wish her good health and happiness. As she said - life begins at 40, she can be sure i will support her all though out. Happy Birthday Ate Lhen! and you know that I and jhon loves you.

a yummy feast!
she's really 40!

with my niece -Francine,Aunt and cousin

fullfilling her wish... balloons!

a gift from a family friend - Lechon!

Hubby wanted me to rest at home today but he can't stay either, leaving me all alone in the room. So i decided I should return to work though I'm really weak and my head ache really bothers me. I really really hate it.

I had a chance to see my 3 high school friends last night, and i can't say no to them when they picked me up in our house to pay a visit to the funeral of the father of my another high school classmate. They got a car and they won't leave till I'm with them. I hardly see them and hubby allowed me to go and reminded me to bring the jacket. After we left the funeral, we decided to move in at McDonalds and we relived all happy and sad moments we had during high school days and talking about our life now. I realized how they missed all my clown moments, how they laugh with all my corny jokes, and i felt that small area in McDo will burst out together with our laughter. I never felt sick at all that time. I'm so happy i got that precious time with them coz i know we all have our own family now. Too great our hubby's were so understanding. We got up there at 11:30pm - imagine that! I told hubby that they are the best buddies i had in school. Too bad though, i forgot to bring my camera, but i got here a recent picture (we're not complete that time) taken last Nov. 15 when we attended the 7th birthday party of Emy's (the one wearing white blouse) daughter at Max's.

Though the years, we seldom see each other a lot. But meeting them - i sometimes felt we are in the same classroom all over again.

The bazaar held in my mother place in Laguna last Saturday was quite successful for the first timers' concessionaire like my sister. Few hours later after we established the entire flower and plants for sale, a woman asked for the roses and she bought 7 pots on the spot without bargaining the price. When my father and sister assists her to the car, she deserves to be called rich. Her car is amazing! =)


I stayed for few more hours in their store and told my sis I need to go back to the house because I'm starting to feel the chill i had inside since I woke up that morning. I've got a worst case of tonsillitis; my whole body is aching (first day of the "red" day) and my body temperature was 38 degrees. Yes, I know, I am sick again. And it doesn't feel good at all. Though my mom said I needed to stay there till Sunday so I can rest, I told them I just rest at home and let hubby do his duty as caring husband (hehehe)

And here I am, alone in our room, nursing a headache and feeling dizzy. I hope i can go back to my hubby place again before our Christmas party this Friday.

Because I was able to watch Twilight movie just now! First day of showing and it feels really great! Whoa! The Edward Cullen mania were visible inside the movie theater when he first showed up in the big screen. And i admit, I feel like a teenager again (giggling a lot) even when my hubby's beside me. He just smiles coz he knows how far I can "like" a certain Hollywood actors and eventually stop when the fever is over. So, he was kind of used to with me like that =)

So the proof is here and I told him that I will keep this ticket till the last movie of Twilight saga will be shown in theater. And i will place it per every book. How's that? (haha!)

Happy because we went to check some book shelves in the hypermarket and I saw one that I really want and the style, it fits. I sweetly told him that's the one I want for Christmas and he answered that he taught the book set were his gift. But i argue that how are my books without a proper book shelf? He thinks I am being clever but I am =) And so, this weekend, we will buy the book shelf in SM. Yeheey!

See, November is quite a lucky month for me. Let's see how my December would be.

Happy Sunday, friends! =)

I spent my night last night coughing and I barely sleep so the result by morning - a truly head splitting headache. I tried to take a bath hoping the pain would go away but its still there and so I decided that I can't go to work and laid beside hubby and sleep again.

But sleeping didn't help a bit, it made me feel worse. Hubby got an early meeting and I know it will be one boring and painful day for me. I don't know why but this year is not a healthy year for me. I almost used all of my sick leaves at work because I had either a fever, cough, flu, ear problems etc. They don't want to leave me, really =(

Good thing hubby came home early. He was so worried that I skipped lunch and he knows that it's very unlikely of me (me ganun? =) and asked me if I have fever. He told me that most of his office mates have cough and flu. Hay, blame it to the weather and the global warming. But i hope I get well soon. Maybe I just need to rest but until now, the headache is still here but it's quite tolerable unlike yesterday.

And imagine cleaning up our room wall to wall, I suddenly collapsed to one side and gasp for air. It was so hot and I'm sweating all over (well, good for the fats) and the hubby immediately ordered McDonalds for our snacks. Wow! I was so touched! When I asked him why Mcdo and not just bread and Coke from the nearby bakery, he said this is very unusual of me and he has to order good food for his wife who's doing a tedious job. Ha-ha! what a compliment!
