My Birthday Post

Today's my birthday! Happy twentieth birthday to me! Hahaha! Well, I just had to work today but when I got home, Bienie and Basil greeted me with this acrostic poem, presented in a pop-up card!

L - Lovable are you, caring too. Very pretty, thoughtful too!
E - Excellent at art, very smart. She gives gifts from her heart!
N - Ninang Len, it's been a wonderful year. But we just want you to hear...

...and more years to come. Now our poem for you is done.

How artistic! (mana talaga sa Ninang nila! hehehehe) Pero swerte nila at three-letter word lang ang pangalan ko. :P

Mothers really know best!

Before the sem ended, Amy and I were craving for a bowl of champorado. Yesterday, I told my mom that I missed eating champorado for breakfast. When I woke up today, my mom actually granted this week-long desire of mine. (woohoo...finally!) Here's an addition to my life's little pleasures...a bowl of hot champorado! (with tuyo on the side...yum! :P) Thanks mommy! :D

Life’s little pleasures…

1. cheetos twisted!
2. very good service from a restaurant
3. receiving a gift that you really wanted
4. free upsize from starbucks
5. full body massage @ the spa
6. receiving a text/email/IM from a long lost friend
7. waking up late on a Saturday morning
8. lying on bora sand
9. ogling at a gorgeous man :P
10. a good f. . . (foot massage! hahaha!)

i am the one...

i am the one
who stirs it up everytime
i am the one
who never knows how close she is
i am the one
who'd rather be dead than confess
i am the one
trying to be good, wanting to be bad and so on...

d'sound
people are people

Little Angel...

It has been a busy month for me...no posts for September. I have been dumped...(hmm?) with work, school, work, school, work, and school again... but seeing this small, innocent creature will surely relieve my fatigue and even yours...


Meet LUKE! The youngest addition to our family...my 10th pamangkin! :)
*mana sa tita, antukin! :P

For better or for worse…

…in richer or in poorer…til death do us part. You hear this almost everytime you attend a wedding. Of course, I must admit, I dreamt of saying this to “The One” during my own wedding someday (Sana! Bwehehe). Being a part-timer with the 3rd party (the best coordinators in town! Applause! Applause! Free plugging! Hehe), Amy and I were finishing up missalettes and souvenirs for a wedding the next day. Basil (of course, my cute pamangkin) was also helping out (nakikigulo :P). He asked what we were doing.

Basil: Whatchadoin, Ninang?
Me: These are for a wedding.
[I was surprised to his next question (he even knows what ‘getting married’ means)]:
Basil: Who’s gonna get married?
Me: Hmm, somebody but you don’t know them, Bas. (Then, out of the blue, I asked) Do you want Ninang (that’s me!) to get married?
Basil: NO. (serious, very serious)
Me (I was shocked!): Why?
Basil: Eh kasi wala na ko ninang.

*Awww, I felt a pang of mixed emotions! I was REALLY touched but at the same time, perplexed…(Oh no! Malakas magdasal ang bata!) :P

Laking National (a.k.a. MUKHANG National)

Yesterday, I went to meet up my groupmates in one of my MA subjects since we’re due to report next week (oh yes! On a holiday! Arrgh!). After our meeting, I felt very hungry that made me crave to eat out. While I was already thinking of the menu, I texted my friend to ask where she was. She replied but to no avail. I texted another friend but to no avail again. And texted another…and another…and another… The bottom line? Nobody can meet me! (waah!!!) My friends…where art thou?!

Instead of having a sumptuous dinner (imagine…imagine…), I drove to National Bookstore Quezon Avenue (cut price book sale!) and went home with a bag of books. :)

Nothing could be sweeter than this…

On a late QC Day holiday morning, my 5-year old nephew, Basil, went in my room and greeted me:
Basil: Hi ninang! Good morning!
Ninang: Hi basil! (kissed him on the head)
Basil: Whatchadoin?
Ninang: nag-internet
Basil: Nagbreakfast na ikaw?
Ninang: Hindi pa po. Ikaw, nagbreakfast na?
Basil: Yup! Brownies!.....
Basil then zoomed out of the room to realize that he’s already missing his TV show.

Note: Basil has a “brusko” personality (may mood swings pa yan!). I’m so touched whenever he greets me in the morning, all the more, when he asked me if I had breakfast already. It definitely made my day. :)))
