Nakapanghihinayang

Have you experienced buying things on their regular price and then the following day you'll see that they are already on sale? Nakakapanghinayang di ba?

It was just last Saturday when I went to Landmark to buy prizes and materials for our company outing's teambuilding activity. I was so happy then because I found cutie and usable items which I think our staff would like. Then, just this afternoon when I came back to Landmark to buy bread, ang bumungad sa face ko sa entrance ay napakalaking streamer na "Sale! Up to 50% off on Selected Items from May 31 to June 3, 2012."

Nakakaloka di ba? Hinayang na hinayang ako talaga. All the items I bought last Saturday are 10% off kasi. Sayang, pandagdag din sa prizes yun or savings na ng company. Hindi kasi biro yung discount na makukuha ko kasi ang laki ng napamili ko that time.

Anyway, tapos na yun. Wala na akong magagawa kahit maglulumpasay pa ako. Isipin ko na lang is prepared ako and hindi ako nag rush di ba? Think positive na lang! =)

Excited for Boracay

Our company outing will be today. We'll be leaving for Boracay this afternoon. It will be a long travel since we are going to ride a ship instead of an airplane. Ang dami kasi namin eh. We are like 140 plus. Oh di ba ang saya? The more the merrier sabi nga nila. =)

I'm very excited since I'll be bringing with me my kulilits and hubby. Vacation na naman kami for 4 days and mega bonding na naman kami.

It will be my twins' first time to swim in the beach. Galing kasi sila sa sakit when we were in Miami eh. And the beach in Miami is not that nice din kaya hindi enticing magswim. At least sa Boracay, ang ganda ng sand and clear ang waters. Sana nga lang walang mga lumot this time. Kadiri kasi yung mga lumot lumot na green eh.

So adios! I'll be busy preparing for today's trip kasi and I'll be going to the grocery to buy some bread for the whole company's baon.

Mama G's Laughtrip: Scooby-Doo

My mom never fails in making us laugh talaga. Walang kupas kung baga.

During our road trip in US...

Me: Ma, look oh, gustong gusto ni Chris yung toy na napulot ni Tito Alex.
Mama G: Ano ba yan?
Me: Nickelodeon something
Mama G: Ah. Eh yung Scoopy-Doo, asan na? Type din ba niya?
Me and my brothers: (singing) Scoopy Scoopy-Doo, where are you? (then laughed)
Mama G: Bakit, ano ba dapat?
Me: Scooby-Doo ma. Pinaghalo mo naman si Snoopy and Scooby-Doo eh
Mama G: Ah (laughing also)

Twins for Delivery

GRABE! That's the word that I can say sa sobrang kulit and likot ng twins ko. Imagine, they are only 1 year and 4 months old. What more if they are in their terrible two's already. Goodluck to us!

I just want to share you some pictures of my twins when we were in Carson, California. This is the time when we are already packing up for our flight to Dallas, Texas. Ang dalawa, they like to go inside the balikbayan box and ayaw umalis.

Drive-in Movie Theater

Before, I only see drive-in movie theaters in movies. Now, I already experienced watching in it at Galaxy Drive-In Theater at Ennis, Texas.

All the while, I thought that these drive-in movie theaters exist only before (meaning: bata pa ako or hindi pa ako pinapanganak). Yun pala they still do exist! Kaya when my brother told us about it, my reaction is "Mayroon pa pala nun!".

Eto ang aking perception sa drive-in movie theaters before:

We watched a back to back movie there. The movies are "The Avengers" and "21st Jump Street". But...But...But...we didn't finish watching "21st Jump Street". I will not just go into details. Bad experience kasi eh.

The entrance of Galaxy Drive-In looks like this:

Di ba, it's like a regular movie house na maraming theaters? The difference lang is outdoor siya and pwede ka manood inside the car.

And siyempre, I took photos of our experience.

Other drive-in cinema theaters at Galaxy

We watched inside the car kasi super lamig outside. Nakatune-in kami sa movie para sa sounds. Buti na lang maganda ang sound system ng car ng brother ko kaya parang nasa movie house na rin kami.

So that's it! Thanks to my litter brother, Ramon Jr., for this experience!

Busy Bee

Hi guys! Today, I'll be super busy like a bee. I still have to prepare for our company outing. This Thursday na yun!!!

I still have to finalize the list of attendees. Matagal ng prepared yun...but...a big BUT...may mga issues kasi...haaaysssttt...nakakainis talaga if there are some aberyas like this. Gusto mo ng matapos para makamove on na pero bandang huli preparation to the last minute pa rin.

Next is the bus. Believe it or not, wala pa rin kaming bus. Before I went to US, nakausap na namin ang DLTB & Co. Finalization na lang of contract ang kailangan eh. Then malaman laman ko nung pinapafollow-up ko na yung contract, nag-iba na ang may handle. Ayun, pinaikot ikot ang HR assistant namin. Nandun na yung kailangan bumalik ulit dun. Pero walang nangyari. 2x nang-indian yung person-in-charge. First, nung pumunta ulit yung mga staff sa DLTB & Co. Next is yung nagcommit na pupunta na lang sa office. Kaya ayun, pinatawag and pinagocular ko sa ALPS yung HR assistant namin. Sa ALPS, ok kausap and they are very prompt. Yun nga lang, they are more expensive by P2k per bus (3 ang bus namin) and ayaw nila magpawithhold ng tax. I mentioned the issue to my dad (my boss). He instructed us to try again DLTB & Co. Finally, nakausap na namin yung real person-in-charge. Yun nga lang, today pa raw bibigay yung contract. Oh di ba last minute din?

In the afternoon, our contact person from 2Go will go to the office to deliver the ferry tickets. I'm sure medyo magulo yun since he prepared the tickets based on my initial list. Wala pa dun yun mga cancellation, replacements and additional passengers. So he needs to go back tomorrow for the other tickets.

We have a committee meeting also in the afternoon. Hopefully, magcooperate sila para hindi magulo pagdating sa Boracay.

Also, I have to prepare a request for budget. May mga cash payments pa kasi like the terminal fees, boat ride, multicab, contingency, etc.

O siya, I have to work na. I still have 5 minutes to prepare for work.

Pineapples and Garlic for Doc Padu

I'm really glad that patients of my hubby appreciate him. This is one indicator that his patients are delighted with his service and of course that my hubby is a good doctor.

One of his patients gave him a bunch of native garlics:


Native Garlics

Yay! May panakot na kami sa aswang. Joke! May pang sinangag (garlic fried rice) na kami... Don't you know guys that native garlics are best used in cooking garlic fried rice? Super malasa siya compared dun sa mga imported gigantic garlics.

Another patient gave him two pineapples. Sorry...naalala ko na lang kunan nung nabalatan na ni Manang eh:



 Di ba nakakapagpataba ng puso? Imagine, my hubby just came back to his clinic after a month long vacation and yet his patients never forget him.

To my hubby...Kahit paulit ulit kong sabihin ito sa iyo...I'm very very proud of you! I love you!

I'm BACK!!!

Hi guys! I'm back...

"Manila...Manila...I keep coming back to Manila..."

I can relate to the song "Manila" talaga. Kahit sobrang init at magulo ang politika sa Pilipinas, hindi ko ipagpapalit ang aking lupang sinilangan. Naks! Pero promise, totoo yan. Sabi ko sa sarili ko, I will never leave my home country. I can go to different countries pero for tour lang. Mas masarap and masaya yata ang buhay dito sa Pilipinas.

Anyway, I'm so loaded of kwentos that I don't know how to start kaya abang abang na lang kayo guys. =)

Sorry

Hi guys! I'm so sorry for the lack of post nowadays. I'm currently in the US and I didn't bring any laptop with me. I only brought my iPad which wouldn't allow me to upload any photos in my blog. Boring naman di ba if all you can see in my blogs are only texts. Aside from that, I'm looking after my kulilits. Lam mo na, walang yaya sa states. Grabe, they are so handful na, considering that they are only 1 year old. What more if they are already in their terrible two's.... Goodluck to me!

Don't you worry...I have a lot of stories to tell you about our US trip. Ilang days na lang at mapupurga na kayo sa blogs ko... See yah!
