Just a little update

Hi girls!!! miss u all!!!

Sorry, I wasn't able to update my blog, we had experienced a low moments but life goes on, and God is good in comforting us. Fight lang ng fight sa buhay. Our first IVF experience didn't result to pregnancy, it was physically, emotionally and financially draining. We moved on and now focusing on our goals in life. tuloy lang ang buhay :)))

By the way, after 11 years I am back to school, language course lang but it really feels good.

Got to go, it's my birthday in 2 days.

 Thank you Lord for the gift of life, family, and friends. Love You Lord, mwah!!! 

Life is (Bitter) Sweet :)

Hi pretties :) 

We can't have it all sabi nga nila, what's with the title? I just believe na once nag lelevel up ang trials sa buhay the more we learn, gain more experiences and it made us a better person. Just like a dark chocolate it has a bittersweet taste but it is healthier and as I matured I find it yummier than other sweeter variety of chocolates, kumbaga nagkakasubstance ka you became more valuable. 

Last Friday, we went to a city 2 hours from our home and had our check up, and there the doctor confirmed that I have PCOS :( Madami akong bagay na di maunawaan, at pinipilit inuunawa sa tulong ng prayers at research sa internet pati sa mga kagroup ko na nagbibigay support and tips. There was a moment that I felt numbed, worried and still thankful kay Lord that nothing serious (than that) had seen sa scan halo halo sya, I am hopeful din because of the promise of technology :) and somehow a bit worried and inaalalayan ko din ang feelings ng husband ko basta I can't explain. Kung pwede nga lang sabihin na kainin ko ang isang sakong ampalaya ng hilaw o ang pinakamapait para lang mabuntis ako gagawin ko. I know that this journey will be another one of the difficult rides in our lives as a couple but I beieve that God is leading us in a right direction, that He's on our side in every step of this journey. I really pray that God will give us strength and also to help us sustain the financial aspect. 

on our way to haugesund

I was actually delayed for 16 days and was really hoping na I'm pregnant more of the financial aspect I was really hopeful that I'll get pregnant in a natural way but yesterday my mens came, I felt sad and down but I am a fighter I moved on easily and think what's the next step I should do. That's what I told hubby, and everytime there were unfortunate events or rejection the sadness is there hindi naman yun maalis agad agad but I will think ahead of another options, mabilis ako bumawi and hopefully tuloy tuloy yun. 

Had dinner with hubby after buying all the necessary meds. Behind that smile is a little sadness but me with a lot of determination and a stronger faith in God. We're gonna win this Hon, with our love with each other and the love of God to us, and His promises of a better and happier life, this battle is just a small thing for Him. It's a sure win win for us!!! :)))

This is the first step to see our little giday or little mark. To our future daughter/son I want you to know that we are going to do everything just to have you with the help of our Lord. We are very excited to finally meet you deary!!! and to everyone here please include us in your prayers kasi I believe that more prayers will make us nearer to our dream. 

Thank you Thank you Friendships!!! mwahugs!!! 

Don't worry about me I'm very much ok!!! :))) 

3 Favorites

Hello Friendships!!!

Nag iisip ako ano nga ba ang dapat ko idagdag pa yung food saka na lang kasi ang dami kong ngutngutin hehehe pero yan muna sa ngayon.

1. Dolce and Gabbana Desire

I am in love with this new scent I discovered in duty free, lasting ang scent and nagiging powder yung amoy nya, my husband loves it too on me. Perfect sya sa medyo formal and romantic dinner, basta ang sosyal ng amoy nya,,,, Magamit nga mamaya, will meet hubby later eh hehehe...

2. Dolce and Gabbana Shades

I love it here sa Europe di gaano kadamihan ang pinoy na nakakasalubong ko hindi ako naiilang masyado mag shades hehehe,, saka di uso ang payong at pag uminit mainit talaga, kaya super may reason to wear shades not for porma lang but mainly for protection talaga to the sun. Alam nyo naman di ako nabiyayaan ng matangos na ilong kaya frustration ko talaga mag suot ng shades hehehe,, I was victim kasi ng pangungutya before ng pango at pangolo hehehe,, sabay may kakanta ng tayo'y mga pinoy tayo'y hindi kano wag kang mahihiya kung ang ilong mo ay pango hahahha,,, 2 lang shades ko yung sinusuot ko dati na Dior kaya lang ako nakabili nun kasi nung pupunta kami sa Thailand, and nauso yung mga cat eye shape na shades kaya triny ko kung uubra hahaha,, and kahit pango feeling ko bumagay naman hahaha (pinilit talaga)

Baste kiber ko na lang hahaha basta magshashades ako hihihi!!! =)

3. My Pink Long Champ

Long Champ bags for me are very useful, ang dami ko nalalagay at worry free sa scratch or dumi, kaya I love long champ talaga plus ang dami nilang colors, and this bag being pink made me love it even more. =))))

Thank you Ladies for letting me share my current favorites. See you soon. miss u all. mwah!!!

Di pa ako makareply sa comments, AC, Diane, M, Edelweiza and Rem, pero maraming maraming salamat sa messages nyo!!! love you all!! =)

Swissotel and (in) Berlin

Hello Friendships,

I am not sure why I can't blog these days, pero heto na =)

I want to blog about Swissotel kaso major fail na di ko sya nakuhanan ng picture, pero all in all very nice ang experience namin with them, the staffs were very helpful, location is very nice as in shoppingan ang street na yun, very comfortable ang bed and nice toilet and bath too, nagustuhan ko yung separate yung shower at bath tub, kasi medyo takot ako sumampa at bumaba sa bath tub before at after ko maligo plus medyo aware ako kung nababasa ko na yung floor, kaya like ko talaga yung separate shower, malaki din yung bath tub nila, nagkasya kami ni mark (hahaha ooops censored). We had a very early flight and we arrived sa hotel about 10 plus na pero the hotel let us checked in na agad agad, super winner sa akin yun kasi after ng flight pagod and gusto ko mag shower muna.

And if you are coming from Tegel Airport less than 20 euro lang ang taxi from airport to Swissotel di ba winner, di kasi ako nakaresearch hehehe buti na lang si mark magaling sa distance distance na cacalculate nya kung malayo ba itaxi o hindi hehehe,, 17 euro lang ang alam ko ung binayaran namin, pero nung pauwi na kami saktong 20 euro yung binayad namin sa taxi. Nahirapan ako sa train sa Berlin, kasi sa isang track ibat ibang trains yung dumadaan kaya kailangan alam mo kung ano oras yung train na sasakyan kasi matagal din ang interval nila. Hindi ako mahilig sa museum ha hehehe kaya kada kanto lang ako picture hihihi masaya na ako nun. Medyo nabitin kami sa shopping pero kasi mas panalo sa spain magshopping kasi nasa 20-23 percent sa pagkakaalala ko ha yung tax refund, samantalang sa berlin 11 percent lang. Ang init pati dun nung nagpunta kami sobra siguro mas mainit pa kesa sa pinas kasi nung Sunday punta namin sa Potsdam ang init grabe hindi ako maka pose hahaha,,, yung mineral water na hawak ko umiinit din hehehe.

Yung breakfast nga lang sa hotel e napakasimple hehehe,, medyo nadisappoint ako pero carry lang

Honestly hindi ako naimpress sa Berlin, mas nagandahan ako sa Barcelona, sa Barcelona kasi maganda ang paligid, mura ang shopping hahaha,, pero more on talaga maganda every kanto, masarap ang food, sa Berlin siguro dahil di ko pa gaanong na explore pero hindi ako nagandahan sa kanya parang nothing special.

But I'm still happy coz I got to see/experience again the things close to my heart.

Like this Cotton On Shop na halos kaliwa't kanan ata meron sa singapore, too bad di ko sya napasok major fail talaga, yung first day kasi namin I thought warm up lang hahaha pero hindi pala mabilis dumaan ang oras sarado na sila hahaha,,

I miss KFC so much!!! Had to buy a bucket of chicken for pasalubong sa friends namin dito and for us na din.

and this ... =)

Hindi ako maHard Rock before e pero dito kasi palagi meron sa trip namin. more on TGIF ako e and chillis before.

for Attaractions wala talaga kami gaano napuntahan hahaha,, hindi ako mahilig,, yung Potsdam Sunday yun kung bukas nga mga shops nun baka di din namin pinuntahan

Successful Bike Ride Story

Hello friendships!

There's nothing impossible when you Believe, my parents were very protective to us especially when my youngest uncle died on a hit and run, it was very sad and traumatic for the whole family kaya bikes at scooters were not allowed for us. But before my 33rd birthday God saw the determination in me to learn and He granted it. 

Last Monday, my husband asked me to go to XXL, he wanted to buy me a bike kasi he felt sorry for me because I can't join my girlfriends here whenever they have a bike ride session, at first I was hesitant kasi what if Di ako natuto e di sayang lang ang bike, but he told me na he can also use it to buy something or do some errands without fearing na mawala yung bike, yung gamit kasi nya e medyo pricey kasi ginamit nya yun pang long ride at sa nsr. To make it short, we brought home my Contessa.

After we got home, I practiced her in a sloping part in the park, I was just trying to balance with it, after a numerous tries, I tried to step on the pedals, I was having hard time on the grass kaya I tranferred sa medyo patag na lupa na and to our surprised nakapedal ako ng mga 4 times, then my husband encouraged me to try in a pathway na cement ground and was able to do the same, then we went sa isang parking space and really kahit si Mark hindi sya makapaniwala na nakakapagbike na ako. Promise after my first attempt few months back, nag give up na ako, I believe na matututo ako but I didn't know na ganun kaaga was maybe about practising Contessa for more than 2 hours tapos bigla marunong na ako, this is not a joke,,, promise,,, but not naman as good as the others madami pa akong di kaya, at hirap pa din ako minsan, takot pa din ako na baka bumagsak ako, hirap ako sa pagliko sa kaliwa, at masakit sa kamay yung paghawak ko ng preno, masakit din sa pw*t after hehehe.

Anniversary Gift =)

Happy Friday Friendships!!!

I am just happy and I want to document this here in my blog. Whenever I feel down it really helps to go back from my previous post and happy moments, pati date pag may nakalimutan ako binabalikan ko lang itong blog ko, even my recipe pag medyo matagal ko nang hindi naluluto dito pa din ako nagrerefer, I don't take notes kasi except our budget and other reminders events etc. 

And for our 13th years together my husband gifted me a bag. On our first day in Berlin I was looking for a sling bag kasi alam ko yun lang ang budget ko for this trip, I don't have a small purse kasi that will fit a small wallet, cellphone, powder and lipstick whenever we attend a simple gathering, palagi ako nakikilagay sa bulsa ng husband ko saka pala yung Longchamp na Le Pliage kasi afford ko yun at kailangan ko din kasi mahilig talaga ako magdala ng madaming gamit, but I didn't find the sling bag pero nakabili ako nung Le Pliage na super like ko kasi pink sya. On our second day binaybay namin yung other end ng Kurfurstendamm tapos we saw na mga high end brands nag enjoy ako magpapicture. 

and my long time wish, at first ayaw ko pero sa huli nagpapilit na din ako kay Mark hahaha!!!

My Alma in Epi

I Lvoe it! the color the size it is really beautiful!!! 

Thank you so much Hon!!! 13 years is not a joke, there were times when we wanted to give up on each other and a lot of times when we fought and won many battles of life together. Cheers to us. I pray that God will continue to bless us with more years and happiness together.

Meet Buday =)

One of the blessings that we received lately is Buday, our very first car.

Please meet Buday =)

She is such a pretty, she may not be the latest model and the prettiest car but each part of her now is all about hardwork and another fulfilled dream... kaya patuloy ang pangarap sabi nga ni Angeline Quinto =)
I was bugging Mark to buy a car kasi ang mura ng sasakyan dito ang mahal e ang pag aapply ng license, I am a "pusher" talaga e sa aming dalawa, I know kasi na palaging sa last ng list yung pagkuha ng license kaya naisip ko na bumili na para magkainspirasyon si husband na kumuha ng license although it will take some time here pero atleast meron na sya magagamit para magpractice ng practical driving dun kasi madaming bumabagsak ata. We were arguing na about this kasi pinupush ko talaga sya, aba ang hirap kasi pag winter dito, tapos kelan pa sya makakaisip kumuha driving license until pinabayaan ko na sya, pero from time to time nakikita ko sya nagtitingin ng second hand na sasakyan until a day before our anniversary my husband saw Buday and he knew from there na she's the one na, the next day he paid for her and introduced to me as his anniversary present (arte lang pero super timing lang sa anniv namin hehehe).

Buday and Giday

Why Buday pala? her name was from our surname Bunyi and my pet name Giday kaya Buday hehehe.

Pakita ng Legs

Hello Friendships!!!

Sorry I've been absent for more than a month, a lot of things/blessings were poured upon us. We just celebrated our 13th years of being together since from the beginning of our relationship ang tagal na hehehe and we just came back from a very short vacay in Berlin. We will be busy na din kasi on the coming months kaya we squeezed in din itong trip na ito and tiniming din namin na anniversary.

Heniways, dahil sobra init dito ngayon aba pwede magshorts kaya naman I took the chance na iparada ang legs ko hahaha,,, (hindi perfect ang legs ko ha, pagbigyan nyo na kasi minsan lang sa isang taon ang pagkakataon)

sorry friendships namiss nyo naman ako eh hehehe kaya pagbigyan nyo na me. =)))

Absent today :)

Hi ladies :) 

how's your weekend? 

My body is still aching especially my butt and my thighs, it's very painful to sit down or everytime I will pick up something from the floor. I enjoyed my time in the gym for 2 days, was planning to go today but my husband asked me to stay at home with him but I will be back to the gym tomorrow while my husband is out for cycling. :)

He is very happy and supportive on my #balikalindogprogram and his way of showing his support to me is by coming home with these shirts, and take note lakas ng tiwala ng asawa ko sa akin biruin nyo XS ang biniling size good thing stretch sya kaya kumasya hehehe,, inisip daw nya kasi kung di kasya papayat naman daw ako kaya maiisuot ko din. Hindi kasi talaga ako sporty kaya wala din akong gaanong damit na ganyan, i really appreciate that he is aware of the littlest things that I need :) 

Eto medyo uso dito I'm wondering why it's too pricey, I will test it tomorrow bakit nga ba ang mahal nito. 

my compression tights.

We had a group buy on groupon, nakikiuso lang...monopod for selfies :)

And my first ever sport award :) 

good night everyone! enjoy your Sunday! God bless us. :)

Balik Alindog Program

Hi Ladies,

how are you doing? I'm doing great except that we don't have internet connection at home, there's something wong with the router and the internet provider said they will come to fix it in 3 days wahhhh! 

I was busy last week cooking for some guests from thursday to saturday :) medyo naeenhance na ang cooking skills ko :)

Yesterday, I went out to do some errands and found myself in the vicinity of Elixia (a fitness center), few months back I was thinking hard if I will get a membership but the "kuripot me" told myself that it is best to save the money, that I can lose weight by following those videos in youtube, but it didn't work for me, because when I am at home, most of my time is spent with my ipad :( There were times din that I get bored at home and feeling unproductive, and I don't want to feel that way, so my husband strongly encouraged me to visit Elixia and get a membership.Luckily I went, because they are having a promotion now which they will waive the first 3 months fee,, oh happiness!!! I know medyo paulit ulit na ang pagpapayat ko, but now it is not really about for #balikalindogprogram but I want to spend some of my time outside our home nagets nyo ba ako,,, they have zumba classes oh how I love to dance bonus na lang if papayat ako at sesexy :)

Summer na... usong uso na ulit ang fishing, my husband got his first catch last sunday for this season yey,,, libre ulam na naman kami, kaya eto ang dinner namin tonight! baked cod,,, yum yum and healthy!!! 

how about you, how's the week so far? 

need to say goodbye muna :) 

Happy Wifey Moment #3

The happy wifey moment segment continues,,, hehehe,,, ang oa ko na kaya last na to hahaha,,, 

My entire day spent on  our bed, I am too lazy today siguro tumatanda na hehehe,, dami na nararamdaman. I told my husband na hindi masarap ang ulam, just boiled his chicken breast (his diet meal) and bahala na lang ako kung ano kainin ko (ayaw ko kasi nun). Eto naman ang gusto ko sa asawa ko happy wifey moment talaga he asked me to meet him sa sentrum although medyo late na sya nakaalis ng office, summer na kasi and I need a new shoes, naawa na ako sa pedro shoes ko ang tagal na ako na yung naggigive up sa kanya kaya if gusto nyo ng magandang quality na shoes I recommend Pedro talaga. I was eyeing for this shoes for quite sometime na and this is the perfect timing to buy it. 

I love the advocacy of TOMS, that when I opened this box of happiness, somewhere out there another child will also get the same happiness. :) It is really a great feeling knowing that i'll be able to help even in a simplest way that I can. 

It is very comfy and very light sa paa, medyo bumibigat na kasi ulit ako kaya I need something na light sa paa, at mahaba haba din kasi ang lakad dito. I saw some classic designs kaso wala akong makita na gusto kong kulay, kaya I chose this, I love the design girly girly pa din :)

After that, we went to Egon for our dinner, we where there once and we liked the food kaya we decided to have our dinner there.

very romantic and cozy :) 

after dinner we went home na HHWW hihihi! :) 

kayo how's your day? :)

Foodie: Adobong Puti

Hello friendships, 

If you are on a diet please stop and don't scroll down, if you decided to continue don't blame me ha, you've been warned :)

I super love adobo yan, my all time favorite kaso mo dahil nagkakaedad na ako e iniiwasan ko na talaga ang pork, minsan after ko kumain sasabihin ko sa sarili ko na di ako nasayahan hihihi,,, 

My husband also love my adobo, yung usual with soy sauce, but we have our housemate before who cooked adobong puti,,, ang sarap!!! But it will take a lot of courage for me to cook it because of the prito prito part, ayyyy galit na galit ang mantika, honestly I didn't get the same taste of what my housemate did pero masarap pa din sya, may sauce kasi yung sa housemate ko dati which maybe I need to add more vinegar. 

Ingredients:

2 kg pork (i used liempo and some parang pork chop)

vinegar

garlic (i used 2 heads)

salt and pepper

bay leaves

1 cup of water

Seasoned the pork with salt and pepper, add the rest of ingredients. Let it simmer for 1 hour (slow cooking is the secret to make the pork super tender), pagmalambot na ang pork, heat the pan and put olive oil and fry the pork (set aside the sauce), after it turned a little brown pour the sauce and let it simmer for about 15 mins. 

Serve and Enjoy! :) 

Happy Wifey Moment #2

Have you heard of 5 Love Languages? Ako alam na alam ko na Act of Service at receiving gifts yung sa akin, kasi gysto ko tala yung may effort ligaw pa lang pamantayan ko na yun, at i love receiving gifts or letters din kahit simple very appreciative ako. Kaya buti na lang masipag ang asawa ko, and he is well organized din without any expectation na maging ganun din ako hehehe no choice sya kasi ganun na nya ako nakilala nung college pa, ang bait din kasi talaga ng Inay, she never required me to do household chores, she lets me sleep during weekends until late morning, when my aunt will compare me to my cousins, my Inay will simply say "matututo din yan pagdating ng araw" true enough natuto din naman ako magluto, natuto din naman akong maglinis (not sure lang kung papasa sa iba hahaha) and natututo din akong itrain ang asawa ko kung ano lang ang kaya ko hehehe, nasa training lang yan, at totoo na opposite attracts hehehe,, God gave me to someone who can compensate my weaknesses,,, Thank You Lord! :) 

Thank You Lord sa masipag na asawa.
