Fated to Love You

The main casts of Fated to Love You

With all the Asian dramas I’ve watched, I know Fated to Love you is a typical story of a fairy tale romance.  But aside from the familiar cute face of Chen Xin Yu (Chen Qiao En) and the loving and handsome face of Ji Yun Xi (Ethan Ruan) this story will make you cry, smile and laugh all the way to the end.  I long stopped from watching Asian dramas since I was hooked again in reading books and watching US TV series.  I first heard about it when my office mate keeps talking about it and even asked me how to get a wallpaper of this hit Taiwan series.  Since I become so curious that I started to asked questions on the story line and she said it was being shown in Channel 7. Darn, we are solid Kapamilya (Cha.2) and never can I have a chance to change the channel when my in-laws stocked in the TV screen from 6pm – 10:30pm straight, every weekdays. 

 

And so I bought a DVD of this series and start watching it just last weekend. The story moved me that If ever hubby will see me, he will start to tease and laugh at my smiling then crying expressions. I was so freaking hooked on this series and loving it. Most of the time, I was teary eyed because being so forgiving and selfless person are very rare in this world. The story was so touching. But then it was a happy ending, we can surely believe that love will always finds it way. Press on! =)

First Ever

It is my one dream to have a bakeshop or cake shop someday.  Though I know It requires a lot of study, effort, knowledge and money to start, I can only wish that I can fulfill it just by doing it at home.  I started buying one by one some important things needed in baking like sifter, spatula, scooper, wire whisk, measuring cups/spoons and bowls.  Though I have few cake pans at home, I still needed more just in case I venture more on this long lost hobby of mine.  

And so one night, thinking I have to test my baking power, I try doing the easiest cake I known on earth, the Banana Cake (lol!) My mother in-law and hubby’s aunt gladly help me prepare all the ingredients needed and eagerly watch as I put the cake pan in the oven. 


After 35 minutes, and after a toothpick I inserted came out clean, I know, I just made my first ever crunchy banana cake and hubby loves it! He said its even better from the banana cake he tasted before (or he was just being nice for my effort, he-he) But those who tasted it said I should make it as a business.  O di ba, I am so happy, I am inspired to bake more cakes in the future.

 Take a look at the picture =)

Unlikely Reunion

My brother called my hubby and asked him if we are busy. He told him what’s up? And he said he wanted to invite all of us in the family to have a get together in our other house in Laguna before he goes back to Qatar next week. And yes, I turned out to be an unlikely reunion after all. We haven’t been complete most of the time coz our eldest sister and my brother were abroad and sometimes, Dad are in the province.


We bought so much to eat that day and our family friend brought a cake and ice creams and at night,aside for grilling pork, we bought ready to eat pansit, chopseuy, crispy pata and lumpiang shanghai from a Chinese Restaurant. It is indeed a food feast and they indulged a green label Johnnie Walker as we shared some stories in the garden. It was past midnight that we decided to go home as hubby needs to be in the office today to supervised one of their major activities at work. Now, after blogging, I and Mico will attend my high school classmate’s son 1st birthday at 2pm. And hopefully, we can have some more time to stroll at the mall later at night.

From Sad to Happy

I went went to Baclaran Church last night alone.  Hubby text me that as much as he wants to go with me, he still had meetings and conference call to attend to.  I thought of asking my sister to be with me but she was out and strolling with my brothers family in Tagaytay.  After church I strolled around Baclaran and bought some delicacies being sold especially during Wednesday mass.  I really am hungry that time and I brave myself to eat alone at Jollibee.  I don’t usually ate alone in a fast food restaurant, I have a tendency to eat fast and really felt so alone (he-he).

 

Hubby came home late that night but with some happy news.  He was able to talk to his boss about some issues and he felt so relieved.  And seeing him so happy made me smile. I can never think of anything else but to see my hubby happy.  He was so stressed the other night that I saw him eating his dinner with a bite and swallow mode (and forgot that he still needs to chew the food!) and to top it all, being an only son doesn't guarantee you a heavenly life.  It really depends, you know =)

Fashion Site for Men

I know my husband still needs to find ways to improve his fashion taste and I’ve been looking for a site that can help him on that aspect.  Until one day, he showed me the site of ShopWiki.com. This site seeks out every shopping store on the web and it gives a shopper everything and anything for sale when it comes to men's fashion. And ShopWiki.com gives tips, idea and in-style type of what fits you and your budget. Hubby learned a lot from this site and came looking over for the next style he wants to wear during office meetings, presentation or client calls. And even just an ordinary day he now knows what to wear and feels confident about it.

 

Being in the corporate world requires wearing formal suits almost everyday and they can only dress down on Fridays.  One thing I know is that he is such a fashionable guy who loves to buy something new and likes combining his suits, dress shirts and ties and can still look stylish. And during weekend, my husband loves to wear jeans or cargo pants when travelling or just having a free time at the mall. He really feels good from all of it now. And I’m happy seeing him so happy.

Some Blessings

There are good things coming our way this week. Though hubby told me sad news about political issues in their office, I still managed to make him smile and advised to take it easy. Though I know it’s actually not that easy, I don’t want him to be frustrated for what is common and obvious in the corporate world.

He handed me last night a letter from the distribution office of Readers Digest stating that he won a consolation prize of one Reader’s Digest product worth P2,190.00 ($44.69) and it’s a 4-disc CD of world great music collection of all time. And it’s really a collector’s item and hubby said the he can’t recognize the name of the singers but it’s really soothing to the mind when you start playing it. Ah, I think it’s the best to play it when you’re having a hard time sleeping =) At least, of all the years we subscribe to Readers Digest and we sent all the docs needed in their sweepstakes draw, hubby finally won a prize. And the prize is still related for our being music lover (he-he)


Another surprised gesture came from hubby’s cousin who gave me a turtle green Lacoste bag this morning. And it’s really cute and most especially, it’s big enough to put all my heavy things (which I don’t know why it’s heavy). Bless her for her kind heart to our family.
