HAPPY NEWS!

Sabi ko nga sa aking comeback post, I will make bawi to you guys by sharing a happy news from the Aguilars. Ready? =)

I will be the Cosmopolitan’s cover girl next month!!!

CHOZ!!! Hindi naman kyo mabiro ;)

Owkei, eto na talaga – Guys, WE ARE MOVING IN TO OUR NEW ABODE SUPER SOOOON!!!! Wooohoooo!!!!

Remember my post about Dik-Dik, the unit we bought in Silang Cavite? We didn’t push through there anymore kasi we were blessed by a much better unit in Laguna Bel Air 3 located in Sta Rosa Laguna.

We are super duper excited about this! As in the day will not end without me and Poy talking about our ‘move in’ in the next 2 months. Parang hindi pa nag si-sink in talaga that we have our own house na. All by God’s grace.

Let me show you the turn over unit. 

This is Daphne unit with 4 bedrooms and 3 toilet and bath. It is ready for occupancy already but we are doing some enhancements to maximize the area. We will be repainting din the whole house. We want brown shades paint for the exterior and if the budget permits, we will construct even a simple fence lang.

One thing that enticed me and Poy about Bel Air is their community. It’s near to almost everything. It’s near to Nuvali area, to Tagaytay, to Alabang, to so many schools like Laguna Bel Air School, DLSU, St. Scholastica, Xavier and Miriam, to hospital like Southern Luzon Hospital, to Enhanted Kingdom and marami pang iba.

Laguna Bel Air 3 also has this nice clubhouse with pool, pavillion, bowling alleys and basketball court. Saya!

Our weekends are always busy hunting for fab furniture pieces for Bela. Oh by the way, our house name is Bela, si Mimay nakaisip nyan. Naki Bela na lang din kami J Hay everything is becoming more and more exciting everyday.

All praises to you Lord for this wonderful blessing! Poy and I are still in awe of Your faithfulness in our lives. 

I MISS YOU GUYS

I don’t know what to write, honestly. Hindi na ata ako marunong mag blog. All I know is that I miss writing down my thoughts, sharing my everyday kwento to all of you and jotting down stories about anything just to loosen up from my super mega busy schedule at work.

My life has been abnormal for months now, but I do not complain. Abnormal sya pero masaya. Very fulfilling kasi so okay naman. Yun lang, no extra time for me to make daldal here because in as much as I want to make time to blog, ang hirap. Parang I don’t have the energy anymore to type away my thoughts. I don’t even have the time to open up my blogger account. I am so much having problems in managing my time. It feels like 24 hours a day is not enough for me to be able to do what I need to do at work and sa bahay. Totoo nyan, nahihiya ako sa inyo eh (feeling may readers talaga haha!). From my last post kasi, I promise there that I will find time to update my blog pero obviously I didn’t keep my promise. Bad me. Sorry. Can we now move on? No promises na. Gagawin ko na lang J

And to make bawi on the lost times, I will be sharing a super good news to you on my next post. You will all be very happy for me, Poy and Mimay =) Stay tuned!

MAMEE NANI’s COMEBACK POST

Hello guys! Grabe I cant find the right words to start my come back post. I missed you all! Super miss na miss! As in miss na miss na miss na miss to the highest level! And syempre, I miss blogging! Suuupppeeeerrrr!!!

I was browsing my files in my USB and found the folder with my blog photos. Na sad ako bigla, ang tagal ko na pala talagang hindi nagbblog. There have been so many stories that I missed to share, so many unforgettable moments that I was not able to document. Pano na pag laki ni Mimay, wala na syang mababalikan na memories?! So with that, I made a decision to make my come back in the blogging world. I am doing this for Mimay and for our future children. So that they have something to look back when they grow up. Yung tipong something to talk about and reminisce during kwentuhan.

Promise, I will make time starting today. Kaya ko to. Tsaka na muna yang work, nakakasira yan ng bait. Choz!

It’s been almost 8 months since my last blog update. I was too drowned with work. Kinareer ko at kina-career ko ng so much so much to the point na I feel super tired na. But don’t get me wrong. I love my job. I don’t have plans of resigning from what I am doing now. Masaya ako, I love the people that I work with, I love my daily tasks na talaga namang very challenging, I love my bosses and of course I love Maxim. I just really have to know how to manage my time better. Di ba sabi nga ni Sophie Kinsella “Never give up on something you really want. However impossible things seem, there's always a way”. Yan ngaun ang motto ko. Although it looks very impossible to squeeze in blogging with my super loaded daily to do’s, there will always be a way. And I will find that way. Wish me luck guys ha?

I honestly don’t know how to collate my thoughts yet. Hindi ko alam ano ba una kong ikkwento sa inyo. Bear with me ha? For sure, on my first few posts sabog sabog pa kwento ko.

Let me end my first blog entry for 2013 with this kirempot photo from me and my unica hija. This was taken last weekend during our post valentine celebration.

Watch out for more of Mamee Wifey Babblings! Please stay tuned =)

 

 

MAXIM MILESTONE

I am super excited to share to you guys the reason why I wasn’t able to update my blog since March. Eto ang dahilan bakit lagi akong busy. Eto ang dahilan bakit lagi akong wala sa sarili. Eto ang dahilan bakit lumala psoriasis ko. Eto ang dahilan bakit stress drillon lagi ang drama ko.

But all I can say is that, sobrang worth it all the stress this project brought me. I am super proud to become a part of the success of Maxim’s expansion building to think that I joined the company only last January. I thank the management for the opportunity and to my very supportive boss for trusting me. I’ll be in Maxim’s history forever. Di na mabubura yan =)

Lobby pa lang yan ;)

The Inauguration of the new building happened last April 27. It was a beautiful day, really perfect to welcome all our distinguished guests and guest of honor, Sec Lilia de Lima. I am again very proud to be chosen as one of the usherettes. Ang gaganda te ng mga usherettes eh tapos kasama ko, ibig sabihin nun maganda din ako? Char!

Sharing to you some of the photos during the Inauguration Day.

Sa curly hair ko at sa putok na putok na blush on ko sa katanghaliang tapat, hindi ako prepared. Lol!

Turtle neck from Ensembles, wide leg pants from Get Laud, belt from my ate and neck accessory from YRYS.

Nani with Eric, our IT Director. Hampogi nyan sa personal mga teh, ambango pa! Landi!

Nani with Ms. Emmie, my super cool boss, our Procurement Director.

Nani with Carlo, our cutie IE Manager.

Nani with John Nichols, our machoness General Manager.

Nani with Ms Marc, our shala HR director and Richard, our handsome Vice President.

Nani with Vivek, our Senior Vice President who came all the way from US.

Nani with the pretty usherettes.

Nani with my Procurement family.

It was truly another unforgettable milestone for Maxim, so proud to become a part of it!

PANGASINAN TRIP Part 3: Enchanted Cave, Cape Bolinao and the House of Asian

As early as 9am super init na in the beach. With this, we all decided to visit the famous Enchanted Cave which is approx 1 km away only from Bing’s Resort. This is famous because this is where Mariane, the actress, shot her teleserye Dyesebel. There was a P100 per head entrance fee which I find really sulit because the cave was really enchanting! Water was very refreshing and clear. Tipid pa sa sunblock because you don’t need to put some as the pool is underground. Alaveet!

Sharing to you our photos inside the cave. This is my favorite part in our Pangasinan trip. Kung hindi lang malayo to, every weekend malamang kami dito.

What’s more bongga here in Enchanted cave are the dried giant clams mixed with the garden landscape. Would you believe that these fossilized remains of giant clams are about 4-5 million years old already? Wow!

We all had to return to Bing’s resort to check out after an hour dip in Enchanted Cave. But before finally leaving, we also went to the must visit spot in Patar which is the Cape Bolinao, the second highest light house in the Philippines. Yun lang, it’s closed na pala to the guests. We just took some photos instead. The location of Cape Bolinao offers a great view of the Patar beach.

On our way back home, we were looking for a restaurant for lunch. We were thinking to try something new instead of the usual fastfood. I suggest having our lunch again in Isdaan in Tarlac but everyone disagreed because it’ll be hours away pa from Pangasinan. Malamang tirik na mata namin sa gutom pagdating sa Tarlac.

Buti na lang my family disagreed because we were able to try the House of Asian located somewhere in Pangasinan. It was owned by a chef Chinese couple who impressed us of their cooking talent. We all had a great dining experience hence this blog for them. We tried the restaurant’s beef broccoli, sinigang na maya maya, sisig and the spicy crab. Boy everything was so delicious! We paid almost P2,000 lang including the rice and drinks for all the 8 of us plus Mimay. Super sulit talaga! I hope this couple would branch out in Manila.

That ends the 3 part kwento of our Pangasinan trip. It was another fun filled weekend bonding for our family. Looking forward to our next trip!

JUST DROPPING BY

Hello guys! I miss you all! I have so many kwentos to share but unfortunately I really can’t find time to squeeze it in my schedule. Grabe my work load these past months. But no, I’m not complaining. I’m enjoying my work. I love what I’m doing and I’m very excited to go to work everyday. Masaya kahit haggardo versoza lagi.

Well, I just drop by to say HI to all of you, to let you know that I still exist and that I’m doing great in all aspects of my life. I feel so much fulfilled now. Working mom on weekdays and a full time wife and mamee on weekends. I am especially excited on this coming weekend. Super double celebration for my 28^th birthday and our 4^th year wedding anniversary. Can’t wait for it! We’ll celebrate it with our Mimay in our wedding venue 4 years ago =)

Sorry ‘bout this post ha? Sabog sabog kwento ko. Ang dami kasi naipon in my mind. I want to share it ng 1 bagsakan lang sana but I know it’s not possible.

Sharing to you our latest family pic in Nuvali. This was taken last Saturday lang. These two people make me smile and laugh everyday =)

O sha, have to go for now. Hopefully today’s gonna be a less busy day for me. Wish me luck!

PANGASINAN TRIP Part 2: Bing’s Beach Resort, Bolinao

We arrived in Bolinao at around 5pm already. We checked in at Bing’s Resort. As much as we wanted to stay in Treasures of Bolinao, fully booked na sya. Choz! Ang totoo, it was super way out of our budget. So we settled in Bing’s instead. Pwede na din at 2,500 per night, which is good for 4 pax already. P5,000 for 2 airconditioned rooms located in beach front. San ka pa? J

As soon as our things were settled in our rooms, we decided to hit the beach. Sinong pagod sa byahe? Hehe. We weren’t able to take some photos in the beach because all our phones and cameras do not have batteries anymore. Pero syempre gumawa ko paraan maka souvenir shot kahit 1 man lang. #talkingaboutresourcefulness.

For our dinner, we asked the resort’s caretaker to prepare sweet and sour lapulapu, fish sinigang and corned beef (for my kuya dong, he dislikes seafoods).  Nothing beats talaga a great dinner with a crazy family like ours.

The following day, we all woke up early to again experience the beautiful sunrise, sand, water, corals and waves of Bolinao. It’s almost perfect except for the rocky beach. We all had our slippers on while swimming. 

I know naumay kayo sa pictures ko, ako din eh haha! So allow me to share also these beautiful photos of our mowdel baby.

Soooper adorable, right? Mana sa mamee J

Next is my post on enchanted Cave and Bolinao lighthouse.
