Another Fun This Weekend

thoughts of Mye | Labels:

My hubby informed me last week that they will have a team building/outing somewhere in Calamba, Laguna this weekend. Never i know that their partners will be included and the children should stay home.

It will be my first time to join in with his department's outing since i only joined him during their company's family day. But now, all their partners are included in this activities and its spells F-U-N! I hesitated at the moment, when i think of maybe some of his office buddies will joke on me for being fat. Coz, i knew most of them when I still working of their company. But he said its okey, and told me that at least his officemates will know that I'm living a 'healthy' life with him..haha! And he told me i can blend (hunyango? lol!) and go along with anyone else in the crowd and make them smile and laugh with my antics. He is so sure that i will fit in.

Okey cge, with all the flattering remarks, I'm touched..and i know he will really feel sad if i don't come so i said, yes.

Since we live near the public market place, they requested him to buy the food for their breakfast on Monday (yes, Monday.. that means i need to take a leave from work). They want tinapang bangus, itlog na maalat (salted egg) and kamatis (tomatoes) with fried rice. Sounds yummy!

Must have fun this weekend!

I'm Your Angel

thoughts of Mye | Labels: ,

After a long time, we finally used the Pioneer component my hubby bought as his Christmas gift to himself last year. I'm referring to our battle of singers in our house. Since he bought the compo, we haven't tried the using it to sing. But this time, I bought a series of VCD karaoke at Astroplus in MOA last week and I'm urging him to try to sing a song with me coz I know he's not use in singing with duets.

My hubby was a band lead singer before in his company and he was also a school choir singer (tenor) since his elementary days. And we know his voice can make places if he wants to pursue it and he even passed in the PETA audition. But his college course was way different, so he dropped the opportunity and instead work his way as engineer. And now you can only hear him singing while taking a shower or doing his work in front of his laptop. Due to his work load, he even resigned in his band to concentrate on his projects.

I'm into singing also and because of that we met when they held an audition for the company choir to perform in the 20th anniversary of the company. To make the long story short, we both made it in the choir, we had an applauded performance that night in PICC and that year, we became officially on.

So last Monday, i asked him to sing a love duets by Celine Dion and R. Kelly, "I'm your Angel" but he said he doesn't know the man part of the song.. I insisted and he tried singing with me without a microphone ( he is so vain with his voice). Our voices blend. And few more practices, we will be able to perfect the song. And I am so happy I get him to sing again. I missed that.

(You can find the lyrics of the song in the bottom page)

Too Hot

thoughts of Mye | Labels: ,

With the searing heat and the burning sun when you walk outside, it made me wish it's already the last quarter of the year. So we can have a cool wind and breeze when you go out of your house. It's so hot nowadays and we can't barely sleep and i just keep on putting baby powder on my baby (my hubby's) back coz he just keeps on tossing and turning on my side and sweating all over. Even our doggie pet, Chase can feel the heat and he wants to stay in front of the electric fan and he keeps on going back there even if we put him to his dog house.

And now, no one can stop my hubby (even me!) from buying air conditioner. He said the heat now is unbearable due to climate change. Even, if we left our window open at night, the air was too warm for comfort. And he can't risk our health and he already have a runny nose and he cited so many reasons just to justify to me the benefits of having an aircon to our room.

Well i guess, he's right and so, after his company outing (i'm going with him!) this weekend, we will scout for an aircon.

Hmmm... goodluck to our Meralco bill. Goodluck to our new expenses. Goodluck to my budgeting.

I'm Back!

thoughts of Mye | Labels: ,


After 3 days, I'm into blogging again. We had a 2-day company outing at Loreland, Antipolo and amidst the fun and laughter, comes body aches and muscles strains. And yes, because we want to enjoy the whole place that time, we explored even the deepest location of their pools. We never knew that after we went down to their endless stairs to have a better view for our picture taking, we will having hard time climbing back to our place.

We arrived at Loreland at 4pm, had our mirienda (pansit, puto and suman) went to proceed to our respective rooms that were too far from our company's gathering place. And we need to went down to a series of stairs but were satisfied because the room was spacious and we have a tv, (and yes, we watched the PBB big night) the aircon was alright and our room is overlooking the whole Antipolo! We also had a Mass and after that the games begins...

One thing i don't want in the company outing, is that they tend to mixed the fun with their own version of team building. They announced that the team building they conducted for the past months will be continued that day thru what they called 'Survivor' game. But naughty as we are, we didn't joined our team and instead we went all over the place (avoiding them) and had a time of our life posing and exploring.

I love the food, overflowing iced teas, san mig light (I didn't drink though). And there's a Band playing while we were dancing and swimming at the same time. We also had midnight snacks (lugaw and tofu) while we're wet all over. We thought of jamming in one of the videokes placed in the pool near our room but we are too tired and sleepy so we erased the idea and went to to our room to rest.

It's good that they invented the timer in the digicam. For us who want to pose all day and don't want to do the picture, its so helpful.

After breakfast, we again went down in the forest, and this time with our whole team! One thing I'm happy about is that in times like this, we gathered as one and we talked and have fun during the picture taking.

We departed at 12 noon, it was too hot and I'm starting to feel tired and sleepy.
So here's some of the pictures we had.






no entry daw pero nasa loob kami (hehehe!)





ayan, labo-labo na yan.. One team! One kapamilya! tira-tira!

Breast Cancer Awareness

thoughts of Mye | Labels:

Got a tag from Milet

"Let us help spread the awareness on the ‘Breast Cancer Awareness’ month of June. Please help convey the importance of regular examination and early detection of breast cancer in order to catch this disease when it first erupts, maximizing the chance of survival and recovery."

These are some facts I got from Cancer Research web site. How many people survive breast cancer?

  • More women are surviving breast cancer than ever before
  • Breast cancer survival rates have been improving for more than twenty years
  • In the 1970s around 5 out of 10 breast cancer patients survived beyond five years. Now it’s 8 out of 10
  • Breast cancer survival rates are significantly higher among women from the most affluent areas compared to women living in the most deprived areas
  • Breast cancer survival rates are better the earlier the cancer is diagnosed
  • Around 9 out of 10 of women diagnosed with stage I breast cancer survives beyond five years. This drops to around 1 out of 10 diagnosed with stage I

So I advise women out there to have their breasts checked if they feel something wrong with it. It doesn’t matter if it’s a false alarm, an unnecessary worry on your part. What is important is that you’re doing your part in preventing it.

Help spread awareness. You can help the lives of many women by spreading the word about The Breast Cancer Site. If The Breast Cancer Site receives 8 million clicks on the pink button in June, their premier sponsor -Bare Necessities- will donate $10,000 for more free mammograms. CLICK the pink button today!

The Breast Cancer Site

Now I am passing this to Kate, Charm and Yeyen to help spread the word.

Robi of PBB

thoughts of Mye | Labels:





I'm quite sad that I might not able to watch the big night of PBB teen edition plus tomorrow night. But i just hope that our assigned room do have a tv so we can watch the show.

As a certified PBB enthusiast, I'm in favor of Robi Domingo to win the grand prize. He is the most deserving than the other 3 housemates included in the teen big 4. So, you guys out there. Kindly vote for Robi.
