Heart of the Matter

Last Sunday, I received an iPad as my first christmas gift from hubby (feelingera lang na may kasunod pa), super enjoy ko yung gift nya, I was really thinking of getting one for myself this christmas kasi mahilig talaga akong magbasa kahit ano kaya a bigger screen is really perfect for me. My husband was choosing between a camera and an iPad at nanalo si iPad, buti na lang kasi happy talaga ako, now I am reading Heart of the Matter by Emily Giffin at super naiinis ako kay Valerie at Nick, and I really feel for the wife, biruin mo a harmless dinner can lead into something deeper, kakapraning tuloy hahaha.. (hon basta ako "Im pretty"(ala carmina lang), ikaw na ang bahala kung ipagpapalit mo pa ako hahaha) nag warning? hahaha,,, Oh well sabi nga sa book nung mother ni Tessa, one thing she learned in life was never say never, totoo nga naman di ba, kahit na gaano ako kasigurado ngayon that my husband won't cheat on me e di pa din natin masasabi, I am open that things might be turned around but at the same time I know how to trust and love the commitment of our marriage. I admire so much those women who gave up their career to become a SAHM (Stay At Home Moms) or SAHW (Stay at Home Wives) actually I wished before that my mom was staying at home preparing for everything we need but in my case I can't kahit pa my husband can provide for me, I am somehow takot na walang work, ewan ko maybe because I worked since I graduated from university and hindi ako nawawalang ng work ng more than a month, pinakamatagal na siguro ang 2 weeks or I can;t recall kung umabot nga ng 2 weeks basta mostly after I served the 1 month notice period, ilang days lang I will start with the new company, pero kahit pa I am takot, a part of me also hoping to just stay at home and be a better wife, yung I don't need to drag myself in the morning to work kahit ang sarap pang humiga hahaha.
Oh sya, itutuloy ko na basahin yung book.

Btw, tomorrow is my last working day for this year!!! Hoooray!!! Holiday mode na!!! Excited to see my husband! =)

Question: What is the last book that made you cry? Tell us about the scene

Answer: The last book that made me cry was The Wedding by Nicholas Sparks

Here's the synopsis:

After thirty years of marriage, Wilson Lewis, son-in-law of Allie and Noah Calhoun (of The Notebook), is forced to admit that the romance has gone out of his marriage. Desperate to win back his wife, Jane's, heart, he must figure out how to make her fall in love with him... again. Despite the shining example of Allie and Noah's marriage, Wilson is himself a man unable to easily express his emotions. A successful estate attorney, he has provided well for his family, but now, with his daughter's upcoming wedding, he is forced to face the fact that he and Jane have grown apart and he wonders if she even loves him anymore. Wilson is sure of one thing--his love for his wife has only deepened and intensified over the years. Now, with the memories of his in-laws' magnificent fifty-year love affair as his guide, Wilson struggles to find his way back into the heart of the woman he adores.

The most romantic scene is when Jane learned that all along she was preparing her own wedding which she thought was for her daughter, I love Wilson for doing that, rekindling the love after 30 years of marriage. 

I really really love this book, my all time favorite after I've read it in 2009. #TheWedding

Heartbreaking Sunday

Sorry naman at naging tahimik ako simula last week, alam nyo naman ako pag may dinadamdam, well, sobrang sad lang at hanggang ngayon di ako maka get over sa nangyari kay Pacman. I was so excited before his fight with Marquez, alam na alam ko na mananalo sya. Fan na fan talaga nya ako,, I admire his humbleness, his faith in God, his attitude inside the ring, mabait sya talaga, walang yabang kung makatama man sya ng suntok, hindi madaya, saka yung kung paano sya talaga nagsimula sa wala nakaka inspire. Nakakalungkot lang talaga ang pagkatalo nya, the first time he fell on the 3rd round at umiling lang sya at ngumiti, nakampante ako at sabi ko wala lang kay idol yun, sumisigaw ako babawi yan babawi yan,, at tama nga ako biglang mas gwapo na si Pacquiao kesa kay Marquez dahil sa mga suntok na natanggap nya kay Pacman. hayzzzz,,,

Ang ganda ni Jinkee

Me and hubby watching together

taas ang kamay may palakpak pa yan habang kumakain ng tanghalian

Ako na yata pinakamaingay sa mga friends namin na nanonood, ganun talaga ako madaling maapektuhan ng napapanood, pag tinatamaan si Pacquiao napapa aray ako, at pag sya naman nakakatama ay may palakpak may sigaw at taas kamay, ganun din pag drama ang pinapanood namin lalo na pag MMK maya maya na lang tumutulo na luha ko.

Di ko na kayang tingnan ulit yung picture ni Pacman nung bumagsak sya kaya hanggang dyan lang ang pics ko, talagang may heart stopped for a few seconds until I realized that the fight is over and my idol was still lying with his face on the floor, I was so scared na baka wala na sya, and when I saw Jinkee in the screen crying my heart sank for her too, ako nga na fan lang sobrang tumigil ang mundo ko sya pa kaya na asawa, Thank God he's alive. Everything happens for a reason, God is sending message to him and to all of us.

Thank you Pacman for giving pride and honor to the Philippines, thank you for making us all proud that we are Filipino, thank you for being our inspiration. Mabuhay ka Manny Pacquiao!!!
You are still the  People's Champ!!!!

P.S. Saludo din ako sa undercard na lumaban din kay Michael Farenas, sa tapang na pinakita nya kasi magaling talaga yung kalaban nya pero ang tapang nya pa ding makipagpalitan ng suntok. Thank God at kinaya nya hanggang matapos ang laban.

Loot from H&M

Hello friendships, musta ang weekend? Uber busy ako nung weekend tapos ngarag ako sa work last week kaya last weekend ko lang naramdaman na 3 weeks na lang pala hehehe,, Ang lamig na daw ngayon dun, nag i-snow na eto yung picture na sinend ni hubby.

After ko makita yung picture na toh, ay bigla ako nagpanic, wala pa akong susuotin panglamig, I really planned to go to Uniqlo kasi may sale din nga na mga knitted na blouse, buti na lang nagpunta muna ako sa H&M kakaopen lang nila sa ION, tapos may opening sale sila yey!!!
Would you believe I got these sweaters for S$ 7.90 each? binili ko na tuloy lahat ng kulay na andun, tenchu H&M, I save a lot of $$,, ayoko din kasi gaanong gumastos sa panglamig, ang dami ko pa naman gustong bilhing pang outfit of the day kaso lahat ng budget ko ngayon ay pang winter clothes,, di muna ako makakabili ng shorts hihihi.

S$7.90 =))

original price S$39.90

Tapos may mga nakita pa akong tig S$5.90 =)))

S$5.90

Heto pa shirt dress for S$7.90

Oh di ba ang saya mamili pagka ganito kamura lang, di masakit sa bulsa, wais! =) alam nyo naman ako mahilig sa 5-10sgd lang, hihihi,, 

Madami pa akong kailangan na bilhin kaya kailangan ko magtipid, di pa ako nakakabili ng scarf/scarves, gloves, leg warmer/stockings, saka shoes,, kaya for the coming weeks e shoe hunting ako,, sana sana may makita akong uber cheap na maayos saka gusto ko pa makabili ng isa pang jacket, e ang mahal pala talaga ng jacket.

Wish me luck mga sis!!! 3 weeks to go!

What's the good news? =)

Last friday was another milestone in my life, I was really worried that I wont get it but God is really good to us, He answered our prayers and He granted me my Schengen Visa!!! I applied and handed all the required documents in Danish Embassy last week, Monday, then the consul asked me to collect my visa on friday, I was teary-eyed when I heard that, sabi ko totoo ba ito parang the way he said it ay approved na visa ko, after ko makalabas ng embassy iba yung pakiramdam ko parang nasusuka ako na nagugutom na ewan, siguro sa sobrang kaba. Ang pinagpasalamat ko pa is it took only 5 days to release my visa, maikli lang yung torture ng paghihintay ko hehehe. As soon as I got my visa dun pa lang kami nag book ng ticket, kaya few days before Christmas I'll fly to Norway to be with my hubby wawa naman kasi sya e pag mag isa lang sya na magcelebrate ng Christmas, I am a little sad lang kasi hindi ko makakasama family ko sa Pinas but my parents are very supportive and very understanding, super the best sila, bawi na lang kami pagbalik ko.

Nag start na ba kayo ng Christmas Shopping?  Less than a month na lang Pasko na, how you'll celebrate Christmas? What's your menu in Noche Buena?  Ako nags start pa lang magplan =)

Godlovesme!!! =)

Outfit of the day: Playing Plain

Hello friendships!!!

Actually I am not in my happy mood today, so im out for some destressing, the title should be playing pain not plain hihihi!
Have you watched Zoren-Carmina wedding? I was in tears the whole time from Zoren's proposal to the time when Carmina walked the aisle, mahal na mahal ni Zoren si Carmina, sabi nga yung groom lahat ang gumawa ng kahit pati part ng bride. : )

I am now in the middle of shopping, dont know yet which store is next, I am also thinking of watching twilight if my feet get tired of walking. Hay bahala na. I dont feel really good today, Im excited pa nmn sama to share the good news I got last friday kaso lang life really is complicated sometimes, how ironic that one moment you feel the overflowing happiness then after a few minutes you'll feel really disappointed and annoyed. Hay ok sori nmn for venting out here.

Beauty of EmpoWerment: Beauty Secrets

I noticed the Panasonic Ads on the right side of my blog and I got curious, basta about beauty and topic  ay super like ko ang yaan. I am far from being beauty queen at mala model ang kagandahan, kaya I want to enhance whatever little beauty I have, ayan nadagdagan ang list ng things that i "must-have". 
Seriously, after i watched the video I really told myself that I should invest on these products, I love big curls which I can't do without the help of salon, and I want to learn how to apply make-up para naman mabeauty ako palagi,

For more videos on beauty tips, please click their ads on the side bar, they also have video on how to put on make up like a PRO.

It's time to love ourselves and be beautiful inside and out! =)

Sweets from my SWEET!!!

Weekend is over, another week of work, work and work, good thing it is holiday on Tuesday! yey!

Today, I woke up early and went to church, and I want to share with you this beautiful quote from John Wesley he is the founder of Methodism. 

“Do all the good you can,

By all the means you can,

In all the ways you can,

In all the places you can,

At all the times you can,

To all the people you can,

As long as ever you can.”

- John Wesley

Super nice noh. Being nice at all times is what I am striving to be, minsan kasi  I lose my patience easily wahehehe, kaya this quote is a very good reminder to me in my daily life. 

As for my personal life (shumoshowbiz lang waheheh), my husband and I still struggling with the time difference, especially that my husband is very busy now in his work and he works overtime din in preparation for december as he is planning to take a leave for Christmas. We miss our daily routine together kaya every time we chat is happy happy lang, we talked about our dreams and plans together, we know that life is full of surprises, even if we plan on our own, God has already plans for us, like 5 months ago we plan to spend christmas in the Philippines but now we don't know, 1 year ago we plan to spend our Anniversary in Boracay and Bohol but since I joined my company now kaya hindi kami natuloy, 

sabi nga "Life is like a box of chocolates, you'll never know what you're gonna get." eto na ang segwey, sharing with you also the sweetness of my hubby.

ito pa lang natitikman ko e, wahehehe,, cheat day muna sa diet wahehehe. 

Life is indeed Sweet!!! Thank you Hon!!! mwah!!! mwah!!! mwah!!!

Pampering @ Life Spa

The much needed relaxation happened last night at Life Spa, it was an offer from Groupon and I grabbed the chance to save money for a massage. This was my first time to purchase from Groupon and I am happy that everything went well, I am very scared on buying online, but now I am learning to take risk, did I tell you that I also bought two blouses from ASOS, the items will be delivered on Nov. 1, let's see if it's also a success for it was also my first time to buy online clothes, I am now loving online shopping!!!

Groupon sends me their daily offers and I tell you I am always tempted to buy and buy and buy!!! wahhhh,, And everytime I go to ASOS website there are lots of nice dresses and tops I like, they offer free shipping that makes me want to order again, good thing I can still think and wait for my purchases to check the quality and the size, I ordered M size wahehehe,,(fingers crossed sana kasya) 

I snap some photos from last night:

the waiting area

I want like this on our home but I want it in red =)

the room

Me, feeling relaxed, renewed and refreshed

The room is big, there's a lavatory and a shower inside, the ambience is very relaxing =) 

After the massage, they offered me a ginger tea to drink that I didnt enjoy much because a staff was there and offered me a discounted package for a year,  I told her I am not getting the package as I have to consult my husband first ( I can't think of any reason, she is very persistent that she doesn't willing to leave me unless I subscribe with what she is offering, yung convincing power nya is very high, buti na lang I learned to say "NO" on every situation like that) then she said "thank you for your time"  in mataray tone hehehe. 

All in all, the service from the time I stepped in from the waiting area and inside the massage room was a very relaxing and nice experience, I just didn't include yung after because I understand how the staff wanted to sell their promo.
