A day of pampering

I could not stand the sight of my feet so the day after I arrived Manila I went to a nail salon (Nail-a-holics) for my feet and hands spa. I never have had my foot scrub and pedicure on winter as my feet are all covered with thick socks and booties,  an advantage during cold season because I am not concern whether my feet looks fine or not lol!!

Tada! Nagmukha ng paa!

Moving on…(A late post)

Posted: March 29, 2011 in Uncategorized

I feel much better now after I learned that our friends and loveones are safe in Japan so I think it is time to move on but I still kept  on praying that Japan  could go back to its normal life again soon .

Tartsky and I planned to dine at Steamboat restaurant yesterday but he changed his mind at the last minute because he wanted to eat steak at Holiday hotel and scheduled the steamboat tomorrow. So off we go…

Our starter…oxtail soup (for him) and a veggie salad  (for her and him 🙂 

Tartsky’s steak…they have the best steak in house, tender…tasty and moist. He doesn’t like the french fries…ang dami pa naman argh!

I don’t eat meat so got myself a salmon steak…goodness!

Our desert…banana and almond crepe with chocolate. Yumminess! I almost forgot what I said…I would cut down on sweets hehe…okay, next time! 🙂

Headed home and finalized my packing…yes, I am going home on Saturday.  It’s just a one week leave, need to settle some important matter in Manila. See you…

The world was shocked and saddened by the news about what happened to Japan. It was the most terrifying catastrophe  I have ever seen in my entire life. The news says that it was 8,000 times stronger than the one that devastated Christchurch, New Zealand last month.  As we all knew, a massive 8.9 magnitude earthquake hit Japan at 2:46 pm on March 11, 2011. Then followed by a violent 7 meters high tsunami that slammed into northeastern part of Japan and the hardest hit city was  Sendai.

I was stunned because as far as I could remember my good friend Ghee, is living in Sendai. Her facebook account was flooded with  messages and concern about her safety on that very day itself  and after three days of silence. It was only last night when a certain Mylin posted in her wall that Ghee and her family is staying with her and that they are safe. The words was a bit crumble and I sensed that she is a Japanese but it doesn’t matter at all, the message is clear…my friend is safe. What a relief! I was so happy and even thanked Mylin for relaying the good news. I cried but it was a tears of joy. Thank you Lord , prayer is powerful. 

Christchurch, New Zealand

Christchurch, New Zealand

Double thanks because my cousin and her family were able to survive the calamity in Christchurch, despite of major damaged in their home. God is good.
Nevertheless, my prayer does not stop there; let us continue to pray for everyone’s safety, for all the people in Japan, for our country Philippines and for the world. God bless us all.

I realized I haven’t watch a single movie for the past five months.  Weekend was a little gloomy as we’ve been hit by spring snow, I called it spring snow since the spring season was officially celebrated last feb. 4 as spring festival together with the lunar new year.  In fact, I already scheduled the last weekend as my ME time, I wanted to go shop at Renminsanzhang…oh, never mind the pinyin writing , I can only say the word but I don’t know exactly how it spelled.

Instead I’ve just watched the movie As far as my feet will carry me in my macbook,  it was a true-to-life story of a man full of courage and determination to be with his family. Not starred by a popular actors but I’ll give my two thumbs up! I even shed a tears and it’s now listed as one of my favorites.  I’m not a fan of  fantasy movies, not that I don’t watch…it’s just that  I’m more on reality…that’s it.

Happy new year…

First of all, happy new year! I know sobrang late ako sa pagbati. It’s been a long time since my last entry too. As we all knew…Christmas and New year are among the busiest holidays we had. I was sooooo busy, exhausted and happy….yes happy, veryyy!   And honestly, I still had this feeling of “deal or no deal” with blogging.  Haist, okay….lumang tugtugin na eto, ang importante is heto pa rin ako sa mundo ng ka-blog-an. And also thanks to facebook, somehow…I still got in-touched with our dear blogfriends. Nakakatuwa kasi kung gaano kami magkulitan sa blogging noon ganoon pa rin kami up to now.  Love you guys…from the bottom of my heart.

xoxo

Moving at Sea dreamscape

Posted: November 8, 2010 in Photography, TOTD

The day after I arrived from my trip in PH, tartsky and I moved to our new place. It was a looong and tiring day. I never realize how much things we have until we got it packed. Some of which are stuffs we’re not using anymore. I did a garage sale when I was in Manila and earned some moolahs. Dito sino pagbebentahan namin? Mga intsik? If we will bring them home, we would pay more on excess baggage at baka kahit ibenta ko pa doon lugi pa ako sa mahal ng excess per kilo. Not a good idea kaya ayun we gave them to the subdivision cleaner, at least nakatulong ng kaunti at haping hapi naman siya. Our stuff are mostly in good condition pa ha.

Oh well…a note to myself: “Stop shopping!”

Tartsky echoed: “STOP Shopping!!”

In my mind: “I’ll try, baka lagnatin ako har har!”

I fell in love the moment I step inside  Hai Mung Yuan subdivision (Sea dream scape in english translation).  Malinis at tahimik. The view of the manmade landscape is refreshing, nakakagaan ng feeling. Importante sa akin ang vicinity ng place before I’ll consider a place to move in. 

This time we wanted a smaller unit only, our previous apartment is too big for us. A two-storey apartment with four rooms. Wala akong dakilang “Chona” dito kaya mahirap maglinis huh.  Saka wala siyang elevator as what I have mention from my previous post in my other blog.

Ok, no more Jurassic building ‘dong, we are moving!

After checking at least five units, we finally made our choice.   A cute and cozy two room apartment, with  a good view from our window and siyempre this time with elevator na, perfecto! (Pics inside to follow on my next entry)

Yes, we are right there 🙂 I am inviting you for an open house. See yah!

Okay, a new blog

Posted: November 6, 2010 in TOTD

Hello, this is my new blog. I am not excited to announce it because my blogsite of four years sucks big time! I couldn’t figure how did it happen. I just uploaded a new theme and when I used it , tadaaa…it’s GONE with the wind! I am not an expert so I don’t know how to fix it.

Sigh..I thought it was a sign that I should stop blogging and forget the whole thing. But after a couple of weeks, hinahanap hanap ko siya. I realized it’s hard to let go the things that I used to do for the past five years. Yes fellas, five years since my now defunct blogspot site until Ghee adopted me at akoni.

I don’t want to disturb her since I know she also wanted to stay away from blogging for a while.  So I’ll just wait when she comes back. For now,  I would be updating here and let this bloggie world know I am still ALIVE.

By the way, just came back from a frequent hair salon. I have had my hair colored with dark ash blonde. It’s kind of reddish in the pic but it was just the effect of light from portable heater. 

Those who want to link-ex just leave your footprints and I’ll follow. Thanks.

There you go, see you then. XO

I knew Celeteque skin care even before but I never have tried using the product.  I know I’m kinda late on my reaction about the launched  of the celeteque advance Anti-wrinkle facial  moisturizer last 2009 in PH when women of all ages were talking about how it reduced and diminished their fine lines and smoothens their face in six weeks, hmm tagal naman ng effect.  I will try it myself  if it really work. I’ll let you know guys. I’d  took my close up picture without make up to see the difference after.  Good luck to me.
