Sick

September welcomes me with a cold weather. Cold season usually starts after my birthday but I guess things turned out the other way these past 3 days. As a result, here I am, feeling super ill! I wish this goes off until I wake up tomorrow morning for my first day of work. Wish me luck!

My Other Side

I used to compete in poster making contests during my Elementary years... Tried if I still got that on and off desire to draw... Tihihi!

Jogging Challenge of the Week

I just had my 4th day of my fitness challenge for summer. Since I don't have any plans of going out of the country this summer I guess this would make me a bit busy for my entire vacation. I love eating, and since I am short, gaining too much weight would make me look drastic aka human pumpkin. For 3 days, Miumiu (a cocker spaniel,10mons) joined us. She too loves to run and run! Wish me luck!!!

Verifica and Magnum

Great results, deserve a good night treat!! Yurm!!!

Sunday Rain, the after Quake and the Long Nap

Okey, it's been 3 sundays already that we are having a hard time with this weather instability. I just wish that the next would be better, no rain pls though weather previsions that it will.
I woke up reallu late today, and did a few stud before heading to QT8 and too bad it raine just right after I came out of the metro. I'm glad that the church people know how to adjust and still manage to enjoy the rain tru potluck and small chats. For me, that is reallu important.
We went home after a few hours and when I got back home, i slept for 2 hours... I feel revived!
Tomorrow is another week Lord! I dedicate his week all unto Him!! Cheers!

Sabbath Day is a Happy Day

What a great sabbath day today. I came to church late for sone medical reason but I thank God that He still blesaed this day with so much joy and peace. After the sabbathday service, we had a Youth get-together which we do monthly @ tito abe and tita pina's humble home. We had a worthwhile activitu, a minidevo and of course lots of food... Its a good bonding time and we gained a new friend from France/London. We went home late but yes, we did enjoy the day! Can't wait for the next sabbath.. Sportsfest tomorrow!

I Survived this Week!

It's friday tomorrow, and I'm trying to think back the things I did to for this entire week to be settled... I got a flu (viral thing!) , fixed some appointments for vaccinations and had may clearance (for my tiro) and patched things up with my job.
Despite the hard, challenging week, i strongly believe that Someone out there is helping me, yes, God. I can strongly feel his presence with me, I got a lot blessings and miracles this week, to the point that I thought that I don't deserve it. But God's love and mercy, and faithfullness is greater than I am.. Thank you Lord, for keeping an guiding me!
Im looking for a restful and blessed weekend.... I love this day! ;)

One more thing... It is such a blessing having a baby! And my friend just got hers,... Goodnews!

I'm on Sick leave!

All day at home today. Still thinking if I would attend my course. Maybe I should... My throat aches like hell and I feel so weak. Tomorrow is my due for the PPD test, and I believe a miracle happened again! Thanks God!

Back on Tract

So, I'm trying to figure out some stuff on my phone and I finally decided to install this app... Haven't updated this page for a long time! Nahhh.. This is a place where I go back and hop in every once in a while..
My last post was about my dog, Miu. She's 8months now and learning a lot! She's still a pup, so he does a lot of silly things still. But the good thing is she learned how to keep her bladder and to hold on her cacca until we take him out for a walk.
I'm actually sick right now.. I had a stressful week and I guess my body tries to stop me. Time to rest, no work for tomorrow. Sick leave!

My Doggie Dog Dog

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

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!

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!

Finally!

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?

Nooo! Why do I feel so busy whenever I feel like blogging about my birthday! What the hey! :( P.R.O.C.R.A.S.T.I.N.A.T.I.O.N all the way, eh!

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!

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

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!

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)

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

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!
