My Doggie Dog Dog

2011-11-21T13:41:00.000-08:00

Meet Miumiu!

I love dogs. We used to own house dogs in the Philippines. The first family dog that we had was Jaworski, I can clearly picture that dog in my mind. He's a huge white askal we had when I was still 4 years old He's named after Rober Jaworski, a famous basketball coach. After Jawo, more dogs came into our lives (I can't recall their names tho').

I've been thinking of owning a dog here in Italy for the past days. I'm clearly aware that owning a dog in a far far away land is really expensive, it's like adding a new family member in the house. I have finally decided to get one after my parents approval. (Thanks Mama & Papa!)

I checked every corners of the cyber space to check on what dogs fits me best. I prefer toy dogs from the start, dogs that I can bring anywhere without giving pain in the ass. I first though of getting a Pincher. These dogs are awesome, they look so smart. Funny thing about these dogs is that they are not aware that they are small (compare to other dogs), so they act like they're the boss.

Then, one breed of dog came into my mind. I suddenly scanned through a pet shop site & saw some puppies of dogs, different breeds. I instantly fell in love with that black dog with these huge floopy ears (with curly hair). I find them so cute, and yes, I have finally decided (with all heart & soul) to get a Cocker Spaniel Inglese.

Last November 13, 2011, I finally got her. I got her from one of the Cocker Spaniel Breeders from Bergamo. This way I'm sure that I got the 100% breed. I named her Miumiu after a luxury line of apparels (Prada). The sound of the name seems like a cat but NOPE, it's a dog. I find it cute & she learned her name in a snap. The first days of her in the house is a huge trouble. Since she's still a baby, she can't contain yet her pupù and pipi. After a week in the house & after giving her sometime to get used to doing poopies outside our house, she finally got the habit of doing his business outside, 3x a day after meals.

She's a lovely dog, no regrets at all. :)

Looking Back: The Friendly People of Switzerland

2011-11-07T13:35:00.000-08:00

The driver waving his right hand when he noticed me taking a picture of him (--well the furgone actually!)

Know what, what I like about the people in Switzerland is that they seem so kind & fond with the brown races (ahem!) -- . From the small town of Einsiedeln up to Bern, I've seen a lot of Swiss who smiled & offered a lot of help (taking pictures, giving way, etc). One of the reasons why I fell in love with the country.

Swissing on the Halloween!

2011-11-06T12:07:00.000-08:00

If you are living in Italy, Switzerland is the most accesible coutry you can ever get to visit (a day, not just even a day!) I have all the means to go to Switzerland, but due to job & time constraints, I just couldn't. So, last November 1, I feel like I wanted to give in and go visit this neighboring country.
PS. A heard a lot of people say ("Ano switzerland lang eh!"). Well, I tell you whoever you are. Where were you last November 1? In your house? In Milan? Duh, oh well, I had a great out of the country trip!

Halloween Face!

It's a long weekend! 4 days off aka Relaxation Muchos! This morning while checking my daily mails etc, I found this:

and a weird text message from the Questura informing me to appear & get my PS on a specified date. Anyways, happy that the process went so smooth. Thanks Lord!

No Bday Post as of yet?

2011-10-22T13:57:00.000-07:00

I'm so happy. My bed is so Autumn-ish! Warm blankets. Softy pillows and bright covers. Purrrfect!

NO, BASICALLY THIS SHOT DOESN'T SHOW IT ALL.

BUT DO I HAVE TO?!

Give Meh Some Scratch, Bebi!

2011-10-06T14:30:00.000-07:00

GREAT!- this morning just brought me a great surprise, one inch scar located on my left cheek. A tingling sensation struck me during the middle of the night & I didn't realized that my face was literally scratched! I wasn't so sure if it's me, but I believed it was really me, lol. So, I was hoping it would heal soon. Now, I'm a living testimony that our upper skin has a lot of pain receptors. Dang, it really hurts!

HERE YOU GO. TAKE A QUICK SQUICKY LOOK. FANTASTIC YO!

The MINI Photobox Milan

2011-10-04T14:18:00.000-07:00

After work, I went out with Papa to meet Mama in Duomo. One spot caught my attention, the AUTO-RITRATTO Booth along the side of Via Torino. Since it's a free photobooth, I grabbed the offer to have a free photo from the endorsers of the New Mini Cooper. Along with the printed copy of my picture (see below, dang!), is a code to have my image seen in the Mini Cooper Billboard. I look so wasted in that photo. Haha!

Just a remembrance from today.

JACKPOT!

Routine Routine!

2011-10-02T12:46:00.000-07:00

And after a year, my converse has gone totally ragged. At last! I've been waiting for this day since day one!

AND TELL ME WHAT YOUR DAILY ROUTINES ARE?!

To some, I look like an outgoing happy non-stop person but in reality, I'm not that much. As a matter of fact I always run through a routine that has been in my system for years. This post maybe a bit boring to some but you just need to bear with me having this urge to post it. (Chicken!)

Ok, Lemme start:

1. I always have my breakfast before I start cleaning myself. I find it more solemn to eat with that bed scent (does that make sense, boh!). I try to enjoy eating my breakfast, usually with caffe-latte, 6 pieces of biscuit, a fruit and a glass of water. I take right about 10-15 minutes to finish up. But in case that I'm in a hurry, I can eat in 5 minutes. (Darna!)

2. Shower & Bath. Ok honestly this option varies from season to season. Winter/Autumn seasons has to be a bit more easy. Ok hypocrites may say that they take a bath everyday even in winter... Oh hey, I tell you, they really don't! Bathing means cleaning yourself from the head to toe (HAIR included). You may do body shower but not letting your hair wet on these snowy seasons. Duh!

3. GYM-ing. I do this as often as possible. I prefer cardio exercises & aqua aerobics that doing repetitive machine stuff. This makes my stressES go away in a snap!

4. Reading books. I may look like I don't read books but I really do. I have finished a couple of books, from novels and some inspirationals. They somehow take me into a different world, Guess that I have a huge huge imaginary techniques & talent. I imagine a L.O.T.

5. Surfing the net is a must. I do connect myself to my friends miles miles away. I love to lerk. I guess that lerking & stalking a different thing.

6. LUUUXing. I'm a part of a LUUUX.COM Team and I'm proud of it. I love this site so much that I make it a point to do my job on a daily basis.

7. Sleeping after work! Oh how I love resting! Before, I deprived myself from this, when I was still committed with someone (hmmm :D) not that I do not have "someone" to spend most of my time texting/chatting, I devoted that free time to sleep. I'm somehow fighting this habit since it's reaaaaaally alarming, I don't wanna get FAT!

8. Window shopping. You just read it right. I love strolling alone, looking at some of the latest & the coolest stuff when I feel like doing so. Our house is very much near to a commercial zone, fortunately. When its pay day I usually let myself buy something valuable (clothes? makeup? nah!). To me, shopping, bith window & the real thing, makes me satisfied in any way especially when I'm stressed.

9. I do bible reading & organizing church activities. Everyday, I make sure that I do stuff for the church. I'm a seventh day adventist christian & a part of me is having myself involve in Jesus' ministry. It makes me more alive & content.

10. That's all.

I'm continually finding ways on how to make my life more enjoyable, and more meaningful. I really don't want to dedicate all my life to work. I want to look beyond what life is and His purpose in my life. And I continually pray for that, that He will guide me everyday and do a good turn on each and every step I make.

Godbless you all!

Curly Tops (Eco-way)

2011-08-29T14:06:00.000-07:00

Hooray after 2 weeks of getting a package from China, I can now try the curling foam! Well, honestly, the entire product (quality & size) didn't meet my expectations. But with it's prize, you couldn't expect for more. Lol, I used it for like 1 hour with damp blow dried hair (with a drop of conditioning serum), and the finish product is a complete FAIL. I should've prepared my hair well enough, less dampness & no serum. I'm gonna try it the next time.

Hoola! It doesn't look cool after all. Right, eh?

Pizzata in Cuneo

2011-08-29T00:53:00.000-07:00

Before September starts, we have decided to stay with my Tita & cousin near the mountains of Cuneo. It's a cool idea too since the hot humid summer air in Milan kills us (literallly). The weather is perfectly good, the air though the sun is in it's full blow is so fresh. We stayed there for 3 days. Thanks to Marc's BB we were able to go online. And oh! Tita Adet is here with us now! Waha!

Bonjour France! (Family Trip Diary)

2011-08-17T04:02:00.000-07:00

An unforgettable experience with family in Paris France. A short 3-day diary written by me.

Day One, August 13, 2011

Saturday, 14.30, we finally arrived in Paris after a long night travel. We reached the hotel half an hour after we reach the country's boundaries. The name of the hotel is Campanile Hotel & Restaurant, very near to the metro. After checking in the hotel, we dressed up & went to the center of the city (not the main spots yet). It was 4pm when we started our very own undirected pre-tour so we haven't got much time to stroll. We went to some commercial centers near Opéra de Paris. It was pretty much like Milan except the eye catching building structures the city has. Crowded with people but the place is literally tidy and I love the busy city ambiance. We planned to eat in KFC, but it was a total fail! So we ended up eating in Pizza Hut, which is a fulfillment too. We were in a hurry going back to the hotel for dinner at 20.00. The food was great, & I ate more desserts than the main dishes. We went back to our rooms bloated,lol. I was totally tired the moment I reached our room, I was half asleep, half awake but I still managed to organize my stuff, get a hot shower, go net surfing & finally @ 23.00 slept soundly.

Day Two, August 14, 2011

The call time was really really early. The fact that I slept 2 hours earlier than my usual sleeping hours, my 8 hour sleep wasn't enough. We ate our breakfast at 8 in the morning & get ourselves ready for the main tour @ 9AM. The weather wasn't really inviting for it was gloomy, but not raining. It was a cloudy day, but the good thing is that the sun peaks through the thick clouds every once in a while. The cold paris winds & the people around us wearing thick clothes (much like in the fall/spring seasons) make us feel weird for it was supposed to be summer (lol). Here are the spots we visited in order. The tour's itinerary is a mess, I'm not personally impressed with it, honestly.

The Eiffel Tower, I love love love the feeling seeing the tower the first time closely & touching it with my hands.
The Notre Dame, One of my most wanted spots. I know much about the disney story behind it (The Hunchback of Notre Dame). The structure is pretty much like the one in the cartoon movie. We went in, and I was amazed by it's French gothic structures (very much different from Milan's Duomo).
The Lourve, I've seen this in the movie The Da Vinci Code. It is one of the world's largest museum. I've seen the glass pyramids in the rectangular arena in the center of Lourve Palace as well as the inverted glass pyramid found in the underground lobby. Such a nice place.
The Arc de Triomphe, I feel so overwhelmed seeing this structure the first time when the bus just passed around the spot. So I insisted on hopping into the place and getting into the arc by myself instead of seeing in afar. This arc is one of the biggest monuments I've ever seen.
The Sacré-Cœur Basilica, it was located in the highest point in the city. The church was closed the time we get into the place. I didn't enjoy much seeing this place. The fact that it was the end of the day and we were pretty much tired, going up with the 300 steps up into the church main location is too much! So, our lazy feet only reached the mid-hill level.
Moulin Rouge (Pigalle, Boulevard de Clichy), Oh yea, the place reminds me of the red light district in Amsterdam & our very own Mabini in the Philippines were are all the cabarets are.

We have seen a lot of monuments & crossed a lot of bridges. Walking around the city is the best way to get a full adventure experience. We forgot to take our lunch, we only ended up eating Panino & cold drinks. I guess we are fed up with all the nice places we witnessed! We ended the day in an Eat All You can restaurant, huray! After the dinner, we went back to the city to see the Eiffel tower at night. The moment we came, the tower was well lit with golden lights, with silver sparkling lights showing up.

We went back to the hotel at around 23.00. Tired. I was pissed off discovering that my main laptop charger's plug is not compatible with the hotel's electric outlet, so I tried to make the most out of the laptop's restored batt. After chatting with a friend & surfing the net, it was drained off. I wasn't able to charge my Flipcam, wishing it would last until our last stay in Disneyland. Uff!

Day Three, August 15, 2011

Our last day in Paris! It's a disney day today & we were all ready to experience our funniest & enchanching kiddy days of our lives,lol. We reached Disneyland Paris at around 10am. Entering the Park makes me feel glad, not because it was my first time but the fact that I know that God made one of my life's wishes came true. The place is makes me feel like a kid "again". We tried to save much of our SLR's battery making it sure that it would last the whole day until the last parade & fireworks. Strolling the place for 1 day isn't enough for me missed a lot of spots (hmmm,.. especially the Discovery Land). The best part of getting into Disneyland is seeing the parade , both the afternoon & the evening one. The casts portray the characters perfectly and my fave Disney princess, Belle. We ate in Hakuna Matata Restaurant, & I guess we got a nice table outside the resto where we can have a nice view of the Frontierland. The food was great & they offer abundant amount. Yes, we (including my parents) tried some rides! It was fun discovering that they both like it and they didn't act like KJs. After the last parade, it's Enchanting Fireworks time! I cannot comment much about the Fireworks display, I can only say that it's Perfect. One of the best fireworks ever! The got the full coverage of the Fireworks with my flipcam (good job!)

After the fireworks display, we hurried back to the bus getting ourselves ready for going back to Milan. It's sad to know that our 3-day tour is finally over but with all the memories noted in my mind (how the Eiffel tower looks like in a closer view, how huge the Arc de Triomphe, the beautiful monuments, the playful ambiance of Disneyland) made my heart melt. All these are gifts from God, for without His blessings, we can't experince this memorable trip.

(fin)

Thanks God! <3

Bracin' & Packin' Up for France!

2011-08-11T15:14:00.000-07:00

No! I say no to cramming & I absolutely say NO to oh-I-forgot-something moments. This late afternoon, I came into a decision to get my stuff ready for our 4-day stay in Paris. Just a small trolley is enough I guess, where all my shoes, extra bags, clothes & beauty stuff (Oh!Oh!) should fit purfectttly!
Am I too excited? OBVIOUSLY, YES!

I'm not as organized as you think.

Hmmm, ok whatelse?! !"£$%&/!

Only the essentials! Nah, I'll bring them ol!

New Beybi!

Waterpark 2011

2011-08-07T14:24:00.000-07:00

Giovedi, 4 Agosto 2011
It feels good splashing all the way and feelin' the summer heat! Again, we (my bros & tita) went to Gardaland Waterpark to experience our pre-summer water adventure. One down baby, and 2 more to go! I've been a Dora the Explorer this summer. And my skin colour is turning into Dora's too!
All images are seen in my PHOTOBUCKET account.
Here some generous snappies.

Moving along, I wanted to say that God has been so good to us, to my whole family. Generous amount of blessings are coming and we are very much thankful for it. As the saying goes, when it rain, it "really" pours. We owe these to God, who keeps my family whole. Simple and happy life, that is what we always wanted. I'm not writing this to brag, but I'm writing this to give everything back to God. All glory belong to Him.
More happenings this August. Can't wait!

2nd of August 2011

2011-08-02T04:59:00.000-07:00

** Weird feeling I got when I typed in the number "two". Why?

Mhhkay, so I (or we) did some general room cleaning this morning & we disposed liberal amount of mess and extinguished all the crap out of the room. After doing so, we tend to breath a lot more lighter. Summer & dust come together for all y'know. When trying to pull off some old stuff out of my drawers, I got these 2 old "old" ID Cards of mine way back 3 years ago.

One: My college ID. I can say that this ID was one of the essential things we need to have whenever we are in the campus. No ID, No Entry rule sometimes sucks but for the past 4 years of knowing that if we don't have our IDs with us, you cannot literally get in (unless of course the security guard & you are close friends).

Two: CCN Trainee ID. Apparently, this is the lastest ID I have in connection with MAMC. I have no idea why this ID seems to be so important to me, merely because of the fact that it has been one of the witnesses of something-i-don't-wanna-talk-about topic. Having 3 months of intensive nursing training, from IV insertions, ICU rounds, etc, it made my nursing career a lot more exciting & fun.

EXTRA:
How is my current situation? In a scale of 1 to 10, ONE! Wuuuhu!
Basically this chart is one of the vital assessment tool we have in nursing. The images look a bit creepy but this is helpful indeed in making interventions. And look how it has been translated in Tagalog. Kool! :)

Recaps of the Mending Me!

2011-07-12T04:15:00.000-07:00

m'Kay. Just plain recaps.

PALESTRA (ON)
I started going to gym for 2 weeks now (1st of July). I have a small built body and gym isn't really needed. However due to personal (slash) mental (slash) emotional concerns I have decided to give myself a break from my normal routine. Quite relaxing & a great shock absorber! I do aqua gym most of the time & cardio workouts. I love love love the hydromassagio & sauna (&bagno turcho too!).

FAMILY DAY IN LAGO DI COMO
Yes, I might be left out. The fact that I'm here in Milan for 3 yrs now and not having the chance to see the Como lake is a shame. So, thanks to a friend of ours giving us a free train ride to Como and see the lake (kind of a promotion). The air is hot and humid but I tend to enjoy the day with my family. Trully, it's true that healing begins in the family. Too bad, Papa didn't able to make it (work reasons).

VENICE & HER WATERS
First time in Venice, where all things are expensive & the surrounding waters are endless! It's one of the most adventurous tour ever (Rome being the second). 1 hour walk going to the center of the Venezia is epic! I've witness how seagulls laugh, they are really funny! Wohoo! Too bad we are "really" short of € not being able to ride the Xpensive gondola! But! But! I promised myself to go back & will never ever miss riding that amazing boat! Wohoo! Something to look forward too, right? (ryt!)
(Full Raw Photos)

Summer has just began. Still up for BEACH-ing, more out of towns with family & friends and our Disneyland Paris Tour next month! I'll make this summer worth remembering before the heat of the sun disappears (-ber months ,nah!)

     Notes
     Sneak photo uploads to be done soon. I'm going to run some errands , "Turin bound this 16.00" whew!

So let's just claim that it's summer season right now, o'yea? Hahaha!
It's summah time and as I always promise my self everytime there's a new month, I'll do healthy diet (--errr a more natural way of eating). Thus I promise myself to eliminate artificial/preservativeful stuff around me!
And to have a good start I have invested on these food preparation gadgets for me to hit my aim with all possibility! TADAAAAHHH! I guess I don't need to introduce these mini-machines posted right here in front of you all! :) SO FAR, I'M LOVING THEMMMMMMM!

TGIF (Again!)

2011-04-01T14:24:00.000-07:00

It's payday today. I miss the feeling of getting paid after work (aside from cyber thingy). Of course, equal divisions is done between myself, family and extras.

This afternoon I have decided to contact a bike seller online. I have decided to buy myself a bike (drooling). It is just a plain graziella bike that I've been wanting all these years,lol. I love biking, it is as if I miss this after a decade. Plus, biking in a cool spring season is lovely! I guess I can get it this sunday (fingers crossed)

Tomorrow is our day! MONTHSARY! Wipiy! I just recall the last time I posted a Monthsary donut here, huh? It's like yesterday. Anyway, it's great knowing that the time of us being together gets a lot closer! Sweet!

Short is Short!

2011-03-31T15:14:00.000-07:00

Today, I finally realized that I love and I miss having a short hair! It's been 4 years since I had my hair cut this short! Hoooplala!

Rome Meets Milan @ 26/3

2011-03-30T12:47:00.000-07:00

Raining Cats and Kittens

2011-03-16T13:26:00.000-07:00

Today's Mood: -.-
It's been raining for 2 days (I don't have any idea if it somehow stopped for a while), but yes.. I never saw it stop since yesterday. I've starting to love my week aka my first week of work. I can't wait to lay hands on some €s again (I need to get a new watch y'all know! I'm literally a wristwatch hater, but I guess I somehow need it.). I'm eyeing the yellow watch in SWATCH. Deym! I'm gonna buy swatch again then after a couple of months I'll forget to use it then poof gone! I should somehow learn how to invest on good stuff and not settle in being a mediocre (ow.. is this me?!). Since monday, I'm telling everyone that I will have my haircut on Thursday (that's tom) but I didn't even realize that it's festivo tomorrow so, I guess I'll have my hair cut short on Friday! I don't have an idea why I feel the urge to cut my hair a lil' shorter. Whooppppp! (it must have been because of all these !"£$%& stuff happening to me, hah).
NO WORK TOMORROW. I MISS MY FRIENDS. :)) CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THEM ON SATURDAY! SABBATH DAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's Haulage Time

The Weekend Conclusion

2011-03-13T15:37:00.000-07:00

My last post as a bum, y'all heard it right! I've been waiting for this moment to at least let my muscles stretch a lil' bit more and earn for my family. I do love my life and I would choose this life over and over again. God has given me a lot, when it rains it pours!! Wipiy!
It has been a stressful week and I myself can't believe that I'm still up and kicking. Feedbacks back and forth, defending, backstabbing, condemning? etc, DONE. I'm all fed up with these all highschool childish issues running around the corner. I won't stoop down to anyone's level (I don't ever take even the slightest effort to do so,lol). I love being me. I may not have all but hey God has given me just enough not for me to starve. I feel pity on people who drag you down up to the level that you can't pull up. But one thing I can be sure of, I am content and I don't need anyone who'll stand before me. I speak myself, for I no need any one's mouth to speak what my heart feels and my mind thinks. Offensive? yes! Hurting? yes! We should all grow up, not grow down (is that existing, NOPE!). If you see any offensive details found in this cyber diary of mine, just get off and do your thing. I'm not forcing anyone to read my posts, not even let just ANYONE to disrespect my posts. I DO NOT DELETE ANY OF MY POSTED COMPOSITIONs , FOR I FEAR NO ONE! If you don't know what respect means, feel free to click the red X button on the upper left hand side of this window. Clear? Hope so!
Thanks for reading this! LOVE PEACE AND RESPECT (Respect begets Respect, this includes men, women, young or old) You don't ask for people to respect you, it is EARNED.

SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL MY VIEWERS!

The SeaFood Pasta in Celebration of Festa delle Donne!

2011-03-09T08:06:00.000-08:00

We didn't go out. I mean, yes, we did go out just around the vicinity to get something to eat. We were like looking for great dishes to cook for Mama on this special celebration for the women. We finally decided to cook for a seafood pasta with tomatoes and butter. It's a total delishhh (I tell you..) Nothing special about this day, we just had a small dining in together, watched a couple of Philippine local tv shows, cooked some donuts and fritelle and done.

And who can forget about these flowers. Mimosa given to me by Mama.

BTW, I updated my Beauty Blog. Follow me. Here's a sneak peek:

My Monday Nail Polish Mini Haul + MA

2011-03-07T10:02:00.000-08:00

I went out today for 2 reasons. One would be, to process my application for Tessera Electronica for ATM and two, to do some nail polish hauling! I went to several stores and since summery and springish nail colours aren't out yet, I tried to buy 2 nail glitter toppers from OVS. I think these are somehow regular nail polishes (permanent colours) of Essence the very reason why I bought them. It was such a great deal since the pink one is only €0.99 while the silvery glitter costs €1.99. The shades are: No.04 Carrie (Hot Pink) and my favorite No.02 Julia (Silver). I love these colours, perfect for the sunny season! :)

I'm wearing the Essence Quick & Go You're the One and Essence Nail Art Twins Julia

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Sigma Complete Kit with Brush Roll in Black

2011-03-04T04:06:00.000-08:00

Here are the brushes I got from Sigma Make-up! I have cleaned them overnight & I have tried some brushes today. Most of the brushes have natural bristles and they are extremely soft (My favorite so far is the Duo Fiber Brush , the second from the left). Though I haven't used and tried all of the brushes, I know that they're of high quality. Looking forward for the weekend that I may try them and experiment on different looks! Enjoy the pictures! :D

Parcel from Sigma Make-up Arrived!

2011-03-03T14:50:00.000-08:00

After a month of waiting, my Sigma Brushes finally arrived! It was such a great feeling knowing that I don't need to pay for the taxes. The parcel arrived from the US, so the waiting time is painful. The brushes arrived in a perfect condition and the Mirror too. Pictures of the Brush Roll + Brushes + Mirror will posted soon! Whooplalahhh! Right now the brushes are dying up (I just washed them with baby shampoo, I'm not too excited, am I?)
BTW, I'm halfway to get my 5th prize. Still deciding whether to get the Rayban Wayferers or the Flip Cam. Can't wait for that moment that I'll place my 5th order. I'll keep ya'all posted! Ciao!

The 39th Monthsary Donut (What?)

2011-03-02T05:35:00.000-08:00

I woke up today feeling the urge to eat something. And since Marc bought a dough yesterday I have decided to make a donut (yes, just one) to give it a try. BTW, we ate a lot of fritelle last night the very reason why we still have the pasta dough. And since it's (Ian and I) our monthsary today I have decided to do a lil' fun with it. Enjoy the pictures. Good thing the donut was successfully delishhhhh! :D

And, I just want to greet my boyfriend.. a HAPPY HAPPPY MONTHSARY! I LOVE YOU! :)

8th Anniversary Celebration of SDA Filipino Church in Milan

2011-03-01T01:27:00.000-08:00

Last Sabbath, we celebrated the 8th Church Anniversary and it was so much fun! The theme of the program is "UNASHAMED" which is mainly focusing on the verse found in Romans 1:18. It was such a great program since we have invited Doc. Cabungal (from Switzerland) as the guest. He's one of my favorite since he has the enthusiasm in delivering the word of God, something not all leaders have. He did a Courting Workshop for the youth right after the AY program and we learned a lot.

The Program (Excuse the add'l writings)

The letting done by Tito Abe speaks for itself

The piece for the special song sang by the church choir (US!)

And some mug shots of US again!

2011-02-20T14:50:00.000-08:00

Why am I getting so into these junk? Lol! I'm eyeing on a transparent lil' cabinet for all my stuff,because I have decided to be a little bit more organized this time since my collection is betting bigger.
On the other hand, my dear Canon D3000 got it's kit lens broken and it hurts,lol. I'm planning on getting a better lens after my first salary. Whooplalah! So for now hello again to my Pentax digicam. I'm on the acceptance stage of the grieving process so I'm all good!
I'm no longer a BUM! Good news? Yes, it is! So please pray for me!

What else? Yes, I miss the love of my life. AND I ALWAYS DO.

Philippines P1: From Italy to the Phils (Upadated)

2011-02-07T23:55:00.000-08:00

I still have a lil' bite of jet lag so please forgive me for doing a photo blog without details. I promise to do it soon, when I gain full strength, lol. I had so much fun! But zZZZZZZZ for now! Ciao!

TADAH!

I'm back! So, I'll go update this post! Enjoy!

Ok, the day was so gloomy. I prepared my things right after I woke up. I stuffs everything in a small baggage for hand carry and done. After doing my daily routine, a close friend of mine, Claire, stopped by to see me before I go. It was a pleasant meet since she took a mini coverage of my departure from the house up until we hopped in the tram. The video can be found in her FB account. Thanks Claire!

ETIHAD.. This is the 3rd airline and so far the worst I've tried. The food is drastically a no-no and the plane itself is so untidy. Yet, thanks for the safe fly. lol

I always ask for a window side seat everytime I check-in. I feel more relaxed since I don't need to bother myself of the people around me. The view is also amazing. Great!

We arrived in Abu Dhabi International Airport before midnight (local time).

The view is great, too bad my cam isn't in the right mood to take pictures.

Manila. I guess I toot this photo 40 minutes before we landed. Great to be back! We arrived 1 hour late (uff).My family from the father's side fetched us. Great trip and tiring trip all in all.

EOTD: Green and Black Eyes using Deborah Summer Palette

2010-12-21T16:31:00.000-08:00

Photo I just took recently. Not too bad huh? I hate green, but when you blend it out with black, it'll surely become vibrant and vivid! The Deborah Eye palette I used was a gift from my Aunt. I usually get my everyday look from it. Note: Please excuse my messing bed.

I'll do reviews soon on these MaxFactor goodies I got recently. Great limited edition stuffs. All will be posted through LUUUX. I just need to finish something a lot more important. Due projects and church stuffs. We are going to VERONA for the SDA Youth Congress... O'Yea!

This Week's Favorite

2010-12-20T06:27:00.000-08:00

I have a lot of back items to do a review about, but this week, let's talk about this wonderful product from The Color Workshop. It's a 5-nude eyeshadow palette. I've been using this product for 2 weeks now and I could say that it really works for me. Though the product is good, I won't consider it as one of my holy grail. I won't repurchase it, for I want to explore more,lol. Make sense?
This product is highly recommendable. You can check the FULL review on mg LUUUX page. Click the button below.

There is a new product in the shop. Unfortunately, YOU CAN'T BUY IT USING YOUR POINTS. But it's a pretty nice brush set. I would love to have one of these.

Oh Wazzup Jem! Part 1

2010-12-17T00:32:00.000-08:00

I know, I have NO time to blog and I always do photologs. lol, but honestly I've been getting so lazy this past few days. Now, if you are about to ask me how things are goin', it's unbelievably fine. I got a lot of stuffs to do the last week and this week is a lazy week. What am I looking forward for the next days? Hmm.. christmas is out, I don't feel much the spirit of it (Aside from the cold freezing weather). Here are the list (part 1, my laptop is having an attack & images aren't loading the usual way).

HELLO PHILIPPINES! I plan to go back to my beloved home home home with Papa (& hopefully Marc too, if given the means). And Im gonna get loaded up with the food/dishes I miss. O----MG!

HUGS & KISSES FROM MY LOVE LOVE LOVE. I do miss him a lot, the fact that we don't talk so much this past few days. I'm looking forward to see him soon, again. Sweet?!

MY BENEFIT LUUUX PACK DELIVERY. I know it takes a while. But I'm gonna get those lovelies sooon! How soon is soon, btw?! Fingers crossed!

Oh yea, did yoiu noticed the new layout? I'm freakin (or even dyin') to have my pink/black layout to be changed into something more "me". I've been talking to my brother to make a great layout for me but since we are both lazy, no layout made. I was playing the entire blogger templates & here are the results. I'm seeing myself Vblogging in the next days sooooo... the HD video cam.. come to mamah!!!!

Oh well, till next time. Ciao!

2010-11-19T03:24:00.000-08:00

When I heard the citofono sounded, I knew it was either from ELF or Luuux. I wend down and took the package from the delivery man. And when I saw it was from Denmark and from Lauritz, I knew that it's from Luuux. So the Triwa Blue Watch came and it is all worth the wait. The watch is in perferct condition with a little instruction guide and a black case. I cant wait to place may 3rd prize. My passion for blogging is turning into bright lights with Luuux. Thank you Luuux, to my blog followers & to those who contributed through comments! Godbless!

2010-11-16T06:10:00.000-08:00

I've waited for more than 2 weeks before the status finally changed from Pending Order to Completed. At last my 2nd order has been dispatched and will soon arrive here. I've been so impatient since a lot of orders made before aren't completed yet so I really expect late update, good thing its coming & Thanks to God. It will take 5-7 days before it reaches here so next week monday I guess I'll have it.

The Photo that Made my Day

2010-11-15T06:09:00.001-08:00

I had doubts if Manny will win this match. But when I saw Margarito's fighting style over Youtube, I finally felt that he's a lot slower compared to Manny. And so after several rounds (though they finished the match), I knew it was Manny's game. I'm always proud tobe a Filipino & even prouder thatn before because of Pacman's victory. Now Mayweather, come out!

About the photo: Maga is the tagalog translation of SWOLLEN. Maybe I don't need to elaborate more. The picture tells it all. Peace MEXICO, PEACE MARGARITO.

A COPY PASTE ARTICLE FROM MY FRIEND'S PM SENT JUST NOW. READ. IT'S A NICE MESSAGE EVERYONE SHOULD PONDER UPON. Happy Thursday Night Tutti!! :D

YOUR SOUL MATE
BY PASTOR T. D. JAKES

Turn in your Bible to Psalm 65:4 (the New King
James Bible). It says, "Blessed is the man
you choose and causes to approach you.
That he may dwell
in your courts and shall be satisfied with the
goodness of your house"

Pastor T. D. Jakes made a statement once that was
morbid but SO true! He said that when choosing a
mate, you need to ask yourself whether or not that
person is the one you would want to hold your hand
as you are lowering your parents' bodies into the
grave for the last time. That is serious. Meditate on
that for a few seconds. Your entire perspective is
term.
Is what you are searching for in a mate should be
based on that one question.

Are you dating?
Think about your boy/girlfriend. Is he (she)
seriously the one you would want holding your hands
during the darkest hours of your life?

Look even deeper.
Is your present boy/girlfriend the type who would
offer you assistance during the time of grief?

Unbelievably, there are numerous men (women) out
here who offer absolutely NO comfort to hurting women
(men). And no, it does not matter whether they are
married to those women (men) or not! I wish you could
see some of the personal letters this site receives
from married people.

Yes, some of them are happy, praise God! However,
the ones who are not happy are miserable. There are no
in between. Either you are happy in a marriage or you
are not.

There are married women (men) writing saying their
husbands (wives) never show authentic affection
towards them, never offer expressions of love for
them. That is real. Because it is so real, God desires
that women (men) are exceptionally careful when
choosing a mate. Notice I did not say that women (men)
should FIND a mate! I said, "Choose." There is a huge
difference.

Turn in your Bible to Proverbs 18:22. It says "that He
who finds a wife finds a good thing"
Interpretation:
MEN find women. Women should not be out trying to find
a man! HOWEVER, once found, the woman can then choose
to be with the man or to wait to be found by a
different man.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN CHOOSING A MATE:

Proverbs 20:6 states, Who can find a faithful man?
The fact that the question is asked is indicative of
the fact that there are not many faithful men out
there.

However, there is good news. The good news is that
JESUS knows where the faithful men are! ( AMEN!!!!)

Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary offers several
excellent definitions of the word faithful:

FAITHFUL:
(a) Steadfast in affection or allegiance (b) Loyal (c)
Firm in adherence to promises or in observance of duty
(d) Conscientious

The scriptures say that a faithful man is
difficult to find. God is saying that it is hard to
find a man (woman) with the qualities in letters a, b,
c,
and d.
However, wouldn't you love to have a man (woman)
with the qualities listed above? They are rare.
But GOD knows where such men (women) are located.

Turn in your Bible to Ephesians 5:23. Scripture
states, for the husband is head of the wife, as also
Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of
the body.

Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so
let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also
loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He
might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of
water by the word. That He might present her to
Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle
or any such thing, but that she should be holy and
without blemish.

STOP! Now go back and re-read that passage. God is
offering us a blueprint on what to look for in a mate.

Let's pick that scripture apart.

1. The husband is head of the wife. That means that
you need to choose a man who is born-again. He also
needs to be a man under whose authority you will feel
comfortable submitting. It is dangerous to submit to
the authority of a man who is not saved or who does
not have a relationship with God.

2. The husband must love his wife as Christ loves
the Church. That is a tough one! Look at the degree to
which God loves His Church! He died for the Church
(the entire body of Christ). How does God love us?
He is kind, patient and nurturing to the Church.
Those are the qualities you need to search for when
determining who to marry.

3. The husband must sanctify, cleanse and wash his
wife with the Word of God. Again, only a born-again
man can wash you with the Word of God. Think about the
dating ritual. Boy meets girl, they date, start to
care deeply, and the subject of sex pops up.

Question: HOW will the man handle it? God says that it
is the responsibility of the man to see to it that he
presents a woman clean and holy. If he is fornicating
with her, how can he present her as clean and holy?

Sex outside the marriage bond is dirty. Therefore, if
you find yourself with a man trying to fornicate with
you, you have the wrong man.

God says that He presents the Church (His Bride!)
without spot, wrinkle or blemish. Your future husband
must present you at the altar without spot, wrinkle or
blemish. This is important. Please listen so that you
don't end up miserable.

BECOMING ONE:

In Ephesians, 5:31 the scripture states that, For this
reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be
joined to his wife, and the two shall become one
flesh. This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning
Christ and the church... God hates divorce.

However, He also hates abuse. God does not want you
physically or mentally abused. He certainly does not
want you disrespected by a man (woman) committing
adultery against you.

Too many women (men) in this country, in their quest
for a mate are settling with people who are not worthy
of them. The reason so many people are in unhappy
marriages is that they latched onto the wrong person
to please society, family or friends. Now they are
stuck with a mean, unaffectionate, or abusive mate. It
is not too late for you. If you pick the right mate
from the beginning, you will not end up hurt and
miserable (divorced).

Listen carefully, GOD says that when you marry, you
become ONE with that person. God no longer sees you as
separate, but He sees you and your mate as ONE person.
We cannot fully comprehend it because God says! it's a
great mystery! Think about your boy/girlfriend.

Do you see yourself becoming ONE with them? If you
have problems after marriage it's because something
was broken before marriage (that was obviously
ignored). If you do not have a boy/girlfriend yet,
GREAT! Now you know what to look for!

Too many people are getting married multiple times.
God is not pleased with that. He sees it as adultery.
It is His will that we marry once, create a family
with that one person, and be happy ... ecstatic in
that marriage. The scriptures also states, the man
shall leave his parents.

Please do not marry if there is a shadow of a doubt
that you are totally attracted to them physically.If you doubt, Don't!
Too many women lose their husbands because after marriage
they stop having sex. The reason many women stop
having sex is because their husbands are cold, rude
and abusive.

If you are married to a man/woman who has the qualifications
of the "faithful man" listed above in this article,
you will be attracted to him forever, emotionally and
physically! Women/man who do not want sex with their
husbands/wives are the ones who married the wrong person.

PLEASE ladies; do not marry the wrong man. Wait.
In Solomon 3:4, it is said, I found him whom my soul
loves. The reason she found the one whom her soul
loves is that she was PATIENT! Luke 21:19 says, in
your patience possess ye your soul. The interpretation
of that for a single person is that if you are
patient, you will meet the one whom your soul loves.

Regret nothing, not even your failures. Take in the
richness of only today because to carry any more will
only weigh you down. Do not look backwards.

The moment of absolute certainty over decisions made
never arrives, so make your decision and move on.
The Lord has promised to help with the burdens of
today

Ask Him to grant you the wisdom and confidence in
making your choices and the ability to recognize when
new decisions need to be made.

"Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series
of small things brought together." -
Vincent Van Gogh

Wait on the Lord !
For what God has put together let no Man (Woman) put
asunder. God bless you all know that the worst is over
and the best is yet to come.

"Faith is taking the first step, even when you
don't see the whole staircase."

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean
not on your own understanding; in all your ways
acknowledge him, and He will direct your paths"
--- Proverbs3: 5-6--

2010-11-10T16:59:00.000-08:00

It's 1.30 in the morning when I decided to check on ELF Italy site if they have great deals on their products. I guess they are doing a run down of their products so I decided to take advantage on 3 of them. Here are my orders:

Total Face Brush	Total Face Brush	€1.70	1	€1.70
Shimmering Facial Whip	Lilac Petal	€1.70	1	€1.70
clarifying pressed powder	Apricot Beige (tone 1)	€1.70	1	€1.70

YAPS in Como

2010-11-02T07:35:00.000-07:00

October 30, We visited the Inaguration og Seventhday Adventist Church in Como. Since it's a jampacked program, we sang 1 song. The whole program is fine though we went home late. We have decided to have a sleepover in Ate Emy's house and practiced the whole Sunday. More pictures in my FB account.

I Finally Received My Order!! Thank you LUUUX!

2010-10-28T00:05:00.000-07:00

I CAN'T BELIEVE ITTTTT! Luuux is really legitimate! I ordered this Eastpack backpack October 14, got completed October 20 then the shipping took 6 days. I got it yesterday. I was woking on some posts on Luuux when our doorbell rang. I knew that there's a package for me. Lol, I wasn't able take a pic of the whole box but it was really huge for this bag.
I started luuux October 7, a week before a filed my 1st order. So, I really worked so hard to pearn points through extensive blogging.
If interested, register and log in to LUUUX.COM. It basically an online pay to shop. The items in the shop are so great, better give it a try. :D

2010-10-20T00:26:00.000-07:00

I've been into luuux for almost 2 weeks now, and finally after accumulating points I have decided to purchase something from the shop. I was supposed to avail the skull candy headphones but I guess I'll give way to my Marc's request, the eastpack bag. So I placed an order, October14. It was pending up until the 18th of october where it is currently in a processing status. Now, it is almost 6 days. I just hope I get it early so I can prove that all is legit. Wish me all luck!

UCB's Freaky Cam

2010-10-15T03:04:00.000-07:00

While waiting for Mama. We didn't notice that United Colors of Benetton Botique has a camera out that flashes live footage of people who passes in front of it. So made poses and took some pic. This was may pre-birthday celebration since papa needs to work the day after which is my birthday. We ate huge burgers and a lot of fries and onion rings. I never felt so much full for a long time.

I'm felt so much guilt after waking up this morning. I realized I haven't update this site for quiet a long time now. However, before my age steps up 1 more number, I have decided to post.

I've been busy in a new blogging site, www.luuux.com. It is a pretty good site, for fashion, designs etc name it. I'm not posting my personal issues there but one thing I like about it are the freebies they are giving away. This is like a revenue generating site, but instead of them giving you real money, they're giving virtual money you can use in buying their cult items. I'm eyeing a LV tote bag as my first purchase. Long way to go but, yea, I'm almost there.

TOMORROW IS MY BIRTHDAY! I'm 24 and I'm loving it. I dont have this super big celebration but and I don't want us to go out and eat outside. I'm not feeling well because I have discomfort on my op site, the weather is getting a lot cooler everyday. So, I think we'll celebrate at home. I wish Ian is here to celebrate with us. I hoep next year we'll have him here. In God's will.

So, OK. Glad that I remember to post before I turned 24. I'm enjoying the last 23 years of my life. <3

PINUNA

2010-10-05T11:35:00.000-07:00

Oh yes, I'm glad I found her on tumblr (uhmm I don't have tumblr account tho') but yes. She's 20 year old petite super talented girl I knew when I was still active in Rakista.com. I met her only once, one time in MOA when my friends and I were eating at Kalye Juan. She's really really adorable and super friendly. She's known as Pinuna (female of Pinuno), the moderator of the mentioned site. She has awesome talent in Photography and Cosplays. I never saw her after the moment I met her in MOA around 5 years ago. But yes, she's really one of the best child photographers I ever knew. Keep it up LUISA! BTW, you can find her here.

Dream Wedding: No.1 THE COLOR MOTIF AND CAKE

2010-10-04T08:08:00.000-07:00

I have a great interest in black weddings. I know that it isn't common since black has a negative meaning. In my my opinion, black is really elegant in anyway. I really wanted to try it. I have seen black motif weddings too like the one of Tuesday Vargas and it's reflection on videos and camera is really awesome and elegant. On the other hand, my Mom also likes a touch of strong red making the entire event happy. I have seen burgundy red weddings too, and like black, it's soooo "sosyalin". So I'm thinking of having BLACK/BURGUNDY wedding someday.

Let's start this DREAM WEDDING BLOG ENTRY 1, on cakes. Cake is one of the creamtops in a wedding. Well normally, wedding cakes are supposed to be tall big and fancy but I really want my cake to be extra special. Fondant tiered cakes are on right now. If given a full blast budget I want that my cake would be 5-tiered. Of course, following the motif. I don't want that it's so huge, but a medium sized cake with an elegant black and burgundy designs. I browsed several cakes online and found a lot. Just by looking at them, it seems like you have already tasted it. I have no idea how much would it costs but a friend of mine said it's from 5,000-10,000 pesos and it depends on the supplier. In some wedding receptions services, fondant cakes are part of their supplies but I think there are some design restrictions. But I believe they offer a best deal and they'll follow the preferred motif.

HAY :(

WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR PEOPLE TO ADMIT WHAT THEY SAID. THEY KEPT ON DENYING, WELL IN FACT THEY DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE THAT THEY'RE FOOLING THEMSELVES MORE THAN THE PEOPLE HE/SHE'S TALKING WITH. I PITY THESE PEOPLE. IT IS EASY TO SAY.. THE TRUTH WILL SET US FREE. BUT WHY COVERING UP TRUTH WITH ALL LIES AND PRETEND SHE'S ALL GOOD WHILE STEPPING ON SOMEONE INNOCENT. BEING HAPPY WITH THE COMPLIMENTS PEOPLE THROW, YET DEEP WITHIN THE ROOTS OF HER SOUL EVERYTHING IS A MASK.

PONDER ON THIS.

I'm So Glad I found New Friends!

2010-10-03T11:44:00.000-07:00

We are off this Sunday. We have decided to finish our practice after sabbath. We stayed up until 7.30 in the eve, and thank God we reached home earlier than expected. The special feature assignment is fun, all those mixed emotions made me a lil' more stronger. It's a good feeling serving God, it's been a long time. :D

I'M SO HAPPY WITH MY NEW ADVENTIST YOUTH FAMILY, TRULLY. :D
I HOPE OUR BONDS GET STRONGER IN GOD. ALL WE DO IS FOR GOD'S GLORY.

I think I'm going back to the Phils this January. Not finalized yet, but looking forward into that idea. Seeing and being with Ian is the best feeling/experience place to be. Fingers crossed. Oh, please. Hehehe o.0

Late Weekend Post aka Lazyness

2010-09-28T02:51:00.000-07:00

LATE POSTS, SORRY!
My weekdays were jampacked.

SATURDAY
T'was realy cold (oh, well the weather changed when the equatorial equinox began). Since I was asked to render a part in the sabbath school program, by any means I need to come early. I only slept for 4 hours for I slept really late the night before. On my way to the church with my bro, I experienced stomach upset for unknown reasons. Sabbath went on smoothly however during the AY program, I experienced extreme headache or should I say a migraine attach. It lasted for hours until the time the whole program was finished. On our way home, in the metro specifically, I vomitted a lot. Thanks to the paper bag my Mom prepared for us. That I realized, Mothers really know best. I feel relieved for a moment after that. I slept for 4 hourds when I reached home, then woke up to eat something. Good memorable day tho'. :D

SUNDAY
Our practice and bonding day. Ok, to make the story short we arrived late. 1 euro fine!!! Goodthing we weren't just 2, Mari, Claire and 2 others were also late. Goodthing tho' since we need to raise funds for AY. We practiced 2 songs and t'was really fun. Oh! yes before that we played softball over a small hill. It was actually the first time I played softball and eventually I got the hand of it. Over all... fun fun fun sunday. Thanks to my AY family. :)

Today, Ian isn't feeling good. Please do pray for his flu recovery... GET WELL SOON MAHAL! I LOVE YOU!

My Surgery Diary

2010-09-23T14:16:00.000-07:00

OK, AT LAST I HAVE FINISHED MY DIARY FOR THE WHOLE COURSE OF MY OPERATION, FROM THE TIME OF INITIAL ASSESSMENTS UP TO THE POST-OP RECOVERY. PLEASE FORGIVE ME IF I MISS OUT SOME IMPORTANT POINTS BUT YES, I'M STILL EDITING IT UP TO THE POINT I CAN FULLY REMEMBER EVERYTHING. (OR THE ANESTHESIA IS STILL RUNNING THROUGH MY VEINS,LOL) BEAR WITH ME. ENJOY!

Hours after the surgery in my room. I can finally smile. hihih :D

The scary IV Insertion kit. Ok, credits again to Ian. :)

The journey began August 11, 2010 when I finally decided to have my initial checkup regarding my increasing abdominal girth. We have decided to have the check up in Tagaytay Hospital since its convenience in terms of distance. The Doctor named, Dr. Russel Correa an internal medicine doctor in the OPD of the said hospital made the initial assessment. He's impression was abdominal mass. He said it might be ovarian in origin but more assessment should be made to rule out it's origin. The day after (August 12, 2010,Wednesday), I had my first diagnostoc procedure UTZ of the whole abdomen. That time I was with my brother, Jake. The result of the examination was abdominal mass with a high probability of ovarian in origin. We were supposed to line up for an OB check up but we thought of going strAIght to MAMC or MMC since if I'm going to undergo an operation it
should be with my preferred hospital.

After a small talk with my Mom, I realized it is better to have my operation done in Makati Med for some private reasons. I believe I can have my recovery faster since I wouldn't have that much stress of people whom I know and for privary concerns. My OB-Gyne doctor named, Dra. Maria Lisa Gozon-Francisco examined me for the first time and decided for a stat operation. But, she needs to have examinations settled first before the surgery which is normally done. My pre-operation clearance wasn't that easy. Part of it was the very important, Pelvic UTZ to rule out if there are chances of carcinoma and to visualize the whole cyst. It turned out to be negative of pre-cancer assessment which made me a little ok. I need to have my pulmo cleared and blood exams be completed prior to surgery. Thank God after almost 3 days, everything is completed and all is set up. During these times, I had the assistance of Ian and Majo, going back and forth to the hospital and back home in Cavite. I thank them for their patience and goodness that they stayed with me all the way.
Days before my operation, my life was turned inside out. It wan't easy being in this situation as an adolescent. I said, this isn't supposed to happen and I'm still young. I prayed so hard and trusting Him that I would pass this test in my life quickly. He heard and asnwered my prayers.

I got admitted in room 557, a small private room in a clean cases unit on the 10th of August. For the first night I stayed with my boyfriend, Ian. I'm so thankful of having him during those times. He is my angel, I said to myself. My operation would be tomorrow of that day, 8.00am. The night passed without any worries. We prayed ang trusted God. We claimed His promises and relaxed.

August 11, I woke up 6.00am for the nurse instructed me to have my last bath and for the last enema (I had my first the night before). 7.00am, 2 nurses came by for my IV insertion. They wasn't able to insert the IV for my veins are weak. Ian also tried, but, likewise he didn't make it. The doctor decided to have the IV inserted in the Operationg room. 8.00am, a nurse came and gave me my pre-meds, 2 IM injections on my both arms made me feel dizzy and a little relaxed. I was able to talk to the people around me, Ian, Jake, Majo and my Mother over the fone while I'm lying on bed for I can hardly open my eyes and stand up. For the first minutes I can still sense everything around me, what the people says, and where I was at. I can still remember the moment I entered the OR, where the Anesthesiologist tried to wake me up to introduce herself. She inserted the IV and asked to turn to side. That was the last time I remembered something. And yes, I still remember the time they cleaned and shaved off my hairs down. ^^

During that time, I can still remember that I woke up 3 times. The first time, when I opened my eyes, I saw this super big light source which I believe is the light that the surgeons are using during the operation. Second,I woke up and had a feeling that someone is touching my abdomen, a feeling like they are wiping something off my abdomen but it is a little numb. Then I fell asleep. Lastly, I woke up and this time I feel an itchy feeling around my left eye. I can lift my left arm this time to scratch off the itch but very weak. There's an oxygen mask on my face, BP cuff wrapped around my left arm and a tight feeling on my abdomen. I didn't feel any pain. I remained awake but eyes were closed for an hour I think or more, I'm not sure. I know that I'm in the recovery room. I heard a nurse telling the doctor that my HR is high so i need to be close monitored. Hydration was also ordered as I heard it. But thank God, it went down a little and heard the nurse telling me that we are now ready to go back to my room. God is really Good. :D

DAY ONE (POST-OP)
I'm already conscious the time I entered my room. There was Ian, Jake and Mamajo. My grandmother and my 2 cousins, Macky and Marvin was also there to visit me. It was so nice seeing them for I know they came a long way just to see if I'm all good. Unfortunately, I was instructed not to speak during that time, for air might accumulate in my stomach making it painful afterwards. It was also nice to know from Ian that the cyst, after FBS turned out to be benign and I thanked God so much for this. He, again, answered my prayers. That time I knew that I stayed 5 hours in the recovery room for I need my HR to be stabilized. All in all, I was out for 7-8 hours. I also realized that I had a foley catheter inserted, a very tight binder around my abdomen, an IV infused on my right hand, an IV stand with 2 lines of D5LR and an anesthetic drip with infusion pump and an epidural catheter still inserted. There was still no pain, only numbness and weakness tho I can move my extremities. Xie and Chi, my long lost friends, also came by to visit me before the day ends. These 2 girls was able to see how my epidural catheter was pulled out andhow painful it was. Before the doctor pulled it away, I had my loading dose of morphine, which made me so dizzy and weak. The anesthesiologist came to visit me and advised taht walking and stting would help me recover faster. But I know it is very impossible on the first day

DAY TWO
I woke up early, and the nurse instructed me that they will discontinue the IV for pain and I'll have the oral ones.My main IV line was to consume and before the day ends, it was taken off me. My flatus was also monitored but unfortunately, I still didn't have it up until the night time.And since I wasn't able to do my first flatus, I'm on clear liquids diet. My foley cath was also pulled out. Learning how to pee without the cath is one of the hardest challenges I need to over come. Thanks to Ian for he help me pee with water stimulation. Since I wan't able to pee in the bathroom, I always use bedpan. Ian and I could never imagine how messy it was, but still he stayed beside me helping me tho I know it's really hard for him.I'm still weak but the doctors were always there reminding me to seat, stand and walk for it'll help on my respiration, healing and circulation. Ian and Jake stayed with me during these times. I can say that this is one of the hardest days of
my operation since the effect of the IV pain meds were fading away. During the night time, I can feel where my incision was.I can now experience pain, but the good Lord help me sustain it.

DAY THREE
2nd day of pain and adjustments. On this day, I woke up so early in the morning. I asked Ian to assist me on a sitting position. I have decided to do this to ease the "ngalay" of my back and legs. It seems so easy to do the sitting position but it's a little awkward tho' because of the discomforts I felt on my shoulders and lower back and diffuclty of breathing at some points especially after meals. But this time, after 1 suppository of dulcolax I began to defecate and do normal flatus. I was able to eat full diet. Full assistance was still needed. It was a good idea to wash myself esp my hair because it smells a lot (i think of anesthesia.. :) Oh, Tita daisy and kids also came by and Ian's friends from the hospital.

DAY FOUR
sabbath day, Majo's family came by, as well as Tita Eta and Tita and Adet. My room was full of visitors that time when my friends from college also dropped by to visit. I'm still weak to laugh at their jokes but I'm happy to see them after almost 2 years. Ian and Jake still stayed with me up to these times. My appetite for food increased and more energized than before. I can still experience DOB at times, but it's tolerable.

DAY FIVE
We really wanted to go back home, since the doctor told us that she already had the going home order. Our decision of going home this day was disapproved by Majo telling us to stay one more night to be sure that I'm all good. Ian and Jake, once again stayed with me. I can sit by myself and go back to lying down position alone, tho' sometimes I coudn't. It depends.

DAY SIX
All bills were settled as well as the professional fees. Majo came early in the morning before the cutoff. Ian also went with us back in Cavite. We rode a Taxi back home. Thank God that we reached home safe and we can finally rest.

My recovery after this operation became so easy because of Ian, honestly.He stayed with me and never complained. I thank God for him, his endless love and care. I can never find someone like Ian, I'm lucky to have him in my life. My parents too, got worried so much that my Mama wanted to go to the Phils for my operation but I insisted that I can do this with Ian and the rest. I also wanted to thank my parents for the support and never ending prayers, they are also my inspiration. My parents love me so much that they were not able to enjoy the ferie summer vacation because of my situation. As days went by, I regained strength. I started to do things and chores more freely without pains tho' I felt some tolerable discomforts. At times I can go out to malls and do a little strolls to unwind. We were able to go as far as MOA and Megamall before we left Philippines to buy the things we need to bring along with when we go back to Italy.

God has been so good to me, and He has guided me along these times giving me people that would love and care for me. During the course of this trial, I realized things that I was never reminded of before, the value of LIVING AND LOVING. God gives and He also takes. But in tough times, He never goes away but instead He does a lot of miracles and gives us gifts through the people around us. People who would care and love us despite our weaknesses without any untoward judgements. These are our Angels on earth. I'm glad I met my angels. :)

Praise be to God.

My First Pet Plant

2010-09-21T09:21:00.000-07:00

Before the day ends we went with my parents in Esselunga to do buy some food stuffs. As i went down the aisle I saw this cute little plant on one of the plant shelves. It caught my attention and had no second thoughts of buying it for such a cheap amount.My father said that it wouldn't last for a long time and this plant is good only for a week. Well, I though I can make it last for a couple of months. It serves as a challenge for me tho, but when I saw the tiny roots, tiny stems and tiny leaves I, likewise sense that it is weak. Yes, it looks weak but I know it can survive. I have a strong confidence that it will. Honestly, I don't have a green thumb nor I don't know the exact name of this plant, but I'll try to take care of it the best I can.

Suddenly, I just correlate this plant to a relationship. The life of this plant as the relationship it self and the soil and the plant as the 2 persons in love. If only the soil and plant hold on to each other without letting one of them lose the other, surely they'll stay alive. The sunlight and water as understanding ang love will keep them alive as well. With the collaboration of these these things together, 100 percent it'll make a good strong plant no matter how weak it looks. Looks are very much deceiving, remember. :D

Adventist Youth: 1st Practice and Bonding

2010-09-20T06:51:00.000-07:00

September 19, 2010.. yesterday we had our 8 hr practice of the songs that we are planning to sing for the up coming Youth Congress in Verona. Basically, my brothers and I don't have an idea if we are gonna make to join the group since we are informed that it is during the holiday season ( family bonding time, yuletide... :D) But then again we are hoping that it is scheduled before or after the yuletide season.

We had our practice inthe church. The Tagalog Church is outside of the main center of Milano. With that said we need to take a long train ride and a bus ride to get there ( if there are no bus skeds, by all means you have to take a cub). Since the place is far from our house, we came late. Marc and I attended but Jake (unfortunatelt) wasn't able to join. We did a lot of stuff including votations of officers, plans for a couple of months ahead and practice 2 songs. And! yes we ate ate ate :))

After 18.30 we decided to go home but the rest planned to go to a certain birthday celebration where we were invited. The day is tiring but, I guess it is pretty fulfilling to let the day pass without us wasting it. We enjoyed and glad that we met a very funny group that would go a long way.

We reached home 9 in the eve. And, yea, I talked to Ian for a couple of minutes before parking and closing the day...

Stone Exhibit at Palazzo Reale

2010-09-08T11:40:00.000-07:00

The day at the start was so gloomy. Good thing my Ian completed my day with a small talk over the net. 15.30 we decided to go out and enjoy the cold sunny weather thinking that it might be one of the last good weather of milan since autumn is fast approaching. We bought a little in H&m, walk a little, do a little spesa and went home. Tomorrow we are planning go in Via Annunziata to inquire about the OSS Corso that I'm planning to do for this anno scholastica..

Happy Sabbath

A week ago I started my intensive scar treatment. I hope it works well with me.

The Cold Milan and the Family's Day Out

2010-09-02T11:34:00.001-07:00

Fall is fast approaching. The cold wind in the morning that lasts until the late afternoon is very evident. I realized how the seasons change so fast so as the things around us change in an instant (like the trial I recently surpassed).

My family and I went out go unwind and have a dinner outside the house. I realized that somehow I miss Milan and it's people. I wish Ian is with me. I always remember him everytime I feel happy. I hope God will make our plans possible for us to be together happily.

From NAIA to DOH to MXP

2010-09-01T11:58:00.000-07:00

Travel from Italy to the Philippines and vice versa takes around 16-17 hours. It's like you are travelling on the ather side of the world. Yes, we just came from a long tiring and stressful travel back in Milan. Aside the fact that I'm feeling extreme sadness from going far from Ian, I encountered several trials along my way. Recently, I noticed that trials come in my way but God gives me courage to face them and guidance and blessings (these are the people behind me helping me to get thru it successfully).

I have decided to update this blog from Ian's request to do so. He's a big fan of my entries here, Reading my blog entries way 4 years back up to present. I easily give in to his request easily when it comes to matters of remembrances and memories. He is my angel on earth, my bestfriend and my future. I can never imagine my life without his support. I believe I can never find another Ian in this world. God has been good to me all the time.. By the way, IT IS OUR 33TH MONTHSARY TODAY!!

I haven't rested yet. I only slept for 2 hours (but I told Ian I'll be online in an hour). Mama and Papa came by and we shared stories, especially the operation I had. We realized we miss each others company. The weather changed totally. From Malpensa the temparature was 9 °c, too cold for me wearing short shorts a sleeveless and a thin sweater. In short, fall is coming. Ever since, I hate this season.

How's that Dateless Vday?

2010-02-13T23:27:00.000-08:00

2 years of dateless Vday isn't bad at all. So basically 1 out of 3 Vdays (gotittt). So my new laptop is going really busy this Vday. I'm planning to stay all day long on my bed. Thanks to this flu I got from somewhere. I'm hoping for a good sunny day today ( hello dear, it's winter). If the sun shines, I'd rather go out than to stuck myself with the virus or bacteria within me hehe. Sometimes, I thank God for letting me experience this for I got the chance to relax even for a while. No work for tomorrow. I believe I'm somewhat contagious or something, bad for the babies.
So yeah, the Vday is just started. Let see what waits for me this day.

Happy hearts day Ian!! You know I love you sooooooooooooo dearly. To sum it all, you owe me 2 dozen of white roses. Yihah.

Our 26th Month

2010-02-02T10:40:00.000-08:00

The Feast of Sant'Ambrogio

2009-12-08T09:59:00.000-08:00

It was predicted that the weather today should be "rainy". But since it is a feast of a saint, it turned out to be the opposite. Though the wind blows really strong, the sun was shining a lot more than we thought of. In short, the day was awesome.

We are complete today, my family. We were able to go for a walk along Piazza Castello while enjoying the Autuno's wind. It was a really a day to remember.

On the mean while, before the said giro we had, I* and I should have talked over skype but unfortunately we didn't. I was really disappoint to the fact that I managed to wake up this morning hoping to get the chance of talking to him. But in the end (just like any other fairy tales ended, lol) we turned out to be in good terms again. Soon, we'll be together mahal. I'm working on it.

Back to work tomorrow. I don't know if it is a fine day after this but whatever it is.. it's still a busy day for me. Ciao for now. Parking cars :D

The Pink Scarf

2009-11-28T10:13:00.002-08:00

I've been eyeing for a pink scarf in one of the botiques (pimpkie) in via torino. It costs 15 euros. Good thing I was able to stop by in Tezenis Portello this evening and found the a pink scarf which is almost the same as the one I saw in Pimpkie. Meno male, for only 5.90 I was able to buy it. Haha. Ting ting One point!

The day was really fine. Sun is shining really brightly but the wind chills are still there. I started to feel the feeling I felt when I first came here, the coldness. I'm not so happy, honestly. IDKW. :|

Things to do tom. 1. Laundry 2. Clean the house 3. Go to church 4. Chat with Ian (Miss him always) 5. Rest. After tomorrow, work again. It isn't cool. The only thing that I'm looking forward this Monday is my pay. So tell me to smile now. Hehe.

Stressful Friday

2009-11-27T10:27:00.002-08:00

I had a long tiring work today. Good thing it's a friday. :D Counting days to celebrate our anniversary. I'm up to something good, I haven't finalized yet what to do. Maybe this weekend I'll find a way to think and hopefully to come up with a bright idea. It's my turn now. Baybayuuu.

Silence

I have decided to say nothing. :D It feels a lot better this way.

Etchoserang Dinedepensahan ang Sarili

The rant part. (If somebody will react again, I'm gonna jump for joy)
I admit it. Some people hate me. And I love them from hating me. There is a saying that goes.. "You are nobody if you're not talked about". Therefore, I'm not one of those. Hehe. So.. still they hate me from not being a nobody.. (which is kinda weird). And so I have concluded that those people who are in the Nobody clan hates me. Now I have realized how hard it is to be nobody. All talk but haven't proved anything yet. Haha. Trying hard ampota.
^^ I hope it's clear.

Moving on, I've got my salary for the half of the month. I'm planning buy something for myself this xmas. Every payday I make it a point to buy something worth having. Life abroad is ectremely different from the Philippines where you need to budget everything and don't let money pass through your hands without even saving a little for emergency puposes. So, I buy wisely. I only buy the necessary. Since life on earth isn't certain, I'm planning to save up for my Sss fund. I know this is an old move but yeah, I think it is important. Kung may sinuksok may may madudukot. Hehe.. So.. I need to help myself.

Ian. Ti amo da morire..

May kamuka daw ako dito. Sino? Tae.. Pangaers.

Over time, Over and Over Again (Ufffaa)

So tired from work. The OTs are just call of duty, not my personal desire (to earn extra money.. nooo!). I earn enough to support my pleasures and to help the people I need to help so yes, I don't need OTs. But since they are requesting me to do it, I have no choice. But please, if they know a thing such as "mercy", they would spare me even for a while. Hayyy.. :(

Buona notte tutti. Ci sentiamo. :| Devo riposare un'po. Prendo energia per domani. Hihi!

Luck as Destiny

2009-11-02T09:27:00.000-08:00

Most of the people who believe in luck believe that some seemingly extra-ordinary events – good or bad – happen in their lives which are beyond their control, and such events are happening because it is written, i.e. it is their destiny.

If you strongly believe that everything in your life happens as written and you can not control or avoid it then somewhere down inside your activeness is lessened, because you believe that if you are destined to have something then you will have it anyway, and if it is not your destiny then you will never have it however hard you try. Moreover, you will stop taking credit for the good things that happen to you and thereby lose out on important confidence-building experiences of life; and at the same time you will stop bearing accountability for the bad things that happen to you and thereby lose out on learning important lessons of diligence with life. By attributing everything to destiny you be loser both ways!

When you believe in destiny you don’t put in your entire efforts because you are always skeptic about whether the thing is in your destiny at all. When you believe in destiny you believe that destiny governs your life. Destiny is active. The stronger your belief that destiny is active, more passive you be.

On the other hand, stop believing in destiny for a change. There is nothing written. No destiny. That means everything is in your control. You yourself can shape your destiny. When you will realize that there is nothing written about your life and you are in complete charge of your life you will have the reason to do everything most actively.

Isn’t active living more full of life than passive living? It is needless to say when you are active the events in your life are more in your control. Of course, it won’t always be in control, but if so happens, then that is what would have happened anyway if you had believed in destiny!

In short, believing in destiny would not change anything except making a loser of you. But by not believing in it you can take full control of your life and be active. Stop being a loser. Feel completely alive!
