DINO and MIMAY

One day, when Mimay will come across her Mamee’s blog, I’m sure she will be very thrilled to see her kirengkeng photos with this very handsome lil boy.

my favorite shot of all!

Photos taken in Dino’s place in Jumeirah last Friday.

Ganito ang tipo kong maging manugang after 40 years, englisero at flawless choz! But yes, you read it right. 42 years old ko pa papayagan mag asawa si Mimay. Tamang tama, 67 nko nun, pwede na maging Lola Nani. Eeew!

I hope Mimay’s boypren in Pinas will not get jealous hehe. Hi Renren! Ang playgirl ng anak ko haha!

“HANUBAYAN DADEE?”

When it comes to Mimay’s grooming, I am the one incharge. I’m usually the one who bathes her, fixes her hair and chooses the right clothes for our little dalaga. I always make sure that she looks neat and even if she’s in pambahay clothes, she’s still nice to look at.

But there are just those times that the husband needs to take over.

And this is one of those times, Mimay super tuck-in to the highest level! Kadiri! :D

SPEAKING TOO SOON

There have been many new and exciting things happened in my life for the past week. Everything’s well and smooth at first. Results were actually fast and going to the positive side but I notice nauudlot sya at one point. It happened thrice this week na!

Being a makwentong person that I am, I speak too soon about everything. I share everything with a conclusion especially to the people important to me. I can’t contain the excitement eh. But with what’s happening to me lately, may na-realize ako. Speaking too soon jinxed the moment! I should avoid it.

I should keep my mouth shut until something isn’t confirmed yet. OA kasi ako ma-excite, yan tuloy! Hay!

SICK

I’ve been itching to blog since I came to office this morning. Ang dami ko ng utang na kwento. I have quite a number of entries parked in my drafts folder waiting for final touch ups. Some photos kasi are in our laptop at home but unfortunately paguwi ko I don’t have time to face our laptop anymore, our little biik will not allow me. But I will make it up to you guys, promise! (as if may regular readers talaga ko haha! nani feeling amp!)

I just want to share first the latest. I came back to office today after my 2 days sick leave. I wasn’t supposed to come yet because I’m still not super okay, but I have a feeling na bumabaha na ang pendings ko, and guess what? I am so right!

But before I tell you the reason for my sick leave, intro muna. During the normal days in the office, it’s not very unusual to see me in the toilet often, as in O.F.T.E.N. ha? Tambayan ko talaga yan. Kung pwede lang dalhin laptop sa loob, nagawa ko na malamang. I find peace in the toilet, di ba kaya nga REST room? I feel calm seeing the white tiles, the lavatory, the toilet bowl and especially the mirror as I’m putting my lip gloss over and over again. Yes I’m abnormal that way. All my solo pictures are taken inside the toilet too. Ay aminin, gawain nyo din yan! Sauce!

But last Monday was different. I made a toilet trip for almost 25 times. And in all those 25 times, tumae lang ako! Sorry for the term, too straight haha! Stomach pain is killing me for the whole day until I had fever na din in the afternoon. I was literally shaking on my way home. Nilalagnat, natatae, nilalamig! We were supposed to dine out that night with my mom, hubby and Mimay but because of my condition, we postponed it.

To cut the story short, I was sent to the hospital the next day and found out that I have bacterial infection and due to my frequent pooping, I was already dehydrated hence my fever and chilling. I was immediately wheeled to ER and the doctor instructed to put on dextrose to me to replace the lost fluids. I was given antibiotics too.

I am feeling better now, although not completely well. It really helped a lot if you have a super dooper mega over caring husband like Poy. Um-OA level na nga hehe. Una, nagbilin personally na wag ko daw kalimutan inumin medicines ko. Mya-mya nagtext, wag ko daw kalimutan medicines ko. After text tumawag na, wag ko daw kalimutan medicines ko. Tapos pag open ko ng gmail ko, may message, wag ko daw kalimutan medicines ko. May nag pop na chat box, si Poy, wag ko daw kalimutan medicines ko. Kung sinunod ko lahat yun, malamang over dose inabot ko. Kaloka! Haha! I love you bibi! You’re really the best! Thanks for taking care of me.

O sha 6pm na pala, ang daldal ko talaga. Uwian na! Have a blessed weekend guys!

KINIKILIG AKO!

I was so puyat last night but nevertheless I woke up this morning feeling energized and recharged. I suppose you know why (Nani smiles and winks haha) Anyway, hindi yan ang gusto kong iblog. I’m kinikilig and excited for something.

Remember I told you that ever since I really want a beach wedding? To get married with Poy in a warm, serene beach listening to the sounds of the waves, barefoot in the sand, with a fantastic sunset view… is a big dream for me and you know what? IT WILL HAPPEN!!!

Oh well, it’s not that I’m unhappy with our 2008 garden wedding. Getting married in Tagaytay, with a perfect sight of Taal lake, is a dream come true for me too.

But honestly, I wanted a beach wedding more. It just didn’t materialize for us basically because me and Poy both came from Laguna. Walang beach dun. The nearest is Batangas pa. San Juan or Laiya which are already far from our place. Unlike Tagaytay, via Sta Rosa, travel time is just an hour. Less hassle for the guests. Plus, we got married on June (on my bday too), rainy month yun so delikado din if the location is beach. We don’t want naman to move our wedding month. So with those, we crossed out the possibility of us getting married in a beach.  

But now, 3.5 years after being married with my dear hubby, naiisip ko pa rin si beach wedding. Tapos naka red dress ako and curly curly-han hair. I’m just thinking now that sana we braved out the beach wedding planning before.  I told it to Poy. Oo naman ng oo yun, wag lang ba ako magalit. But the past days and especially last night was different, serious ang usapan namin and husband really has plans of renewing our wedding vows on our 5^th year anniversary. Saan? Sa beach! *cartwheel 1000x*

praying that our's will have a view of burj al arab too!

I’m still in cloud nine right now, as in! I’m still slowly digesting everything. Naeexcite ako eh! First, I am going to have my dream beach wedding 5 years after my dream garden wedding! Lucky lucky me! Second, we will get to celebrate it with Mimay as our flower girl and malay mo I’m preggers na din with our second by that time =) And lastly, seryoso si Poy irenew ang vows nya with me! Hindi nya ko ia-annull after 5 years howyes!!!

But it’ll be super simple lang, I’m just so excited to wear a red dress in a beach tapos the guests would wear white and flip flops. Okay na yun sa kin. No need for grandiose preparations. I have initial plans and ideas already in mind. We’re just not decided yet whether it will be here in Dubai or sa Pinas. But it will surely be a very intimate celebration, very unlike our 2008 wedding na parang meeting-de-avance (how do you spell that nga?). Sobrang simple lang this time pero sa beach at naka RED ako. Yun yon! =)

I want a dress similar to this, good luck sa kin at sa cleavage ko haha!

Me to Poy: Bi ok lang kahit KFC meal lang food sa beach wedding (vow renewal) natin, importante maganda suot namin ni Mimay ;) LOL!

I really pray everything will go well especially ang budget ;) Please pray with us.

I’M SO AFFECTED

… sa break up ni Atom and Patty!

If you’re an echoserang blog hopper like me, it will be very impossible if you do not know Patty Laurel. Her blog is very addicting, very entertaining. I’m her fan. By reading her blog, I learned to love her. She’s very witty! I adore her for her love to travel. One of Patty’s life plans is to match her current age with the number of countries she will visit. And so far, she has accomplished it. She’s also a former MTV VJ and Studio 23’s host.

This is Patty. The very pretty Patty.

On the other hand, in case you don’t know him, Atom Araullo is my ex-boyfriend choz! Atom is a famous news reporter and a host in ABS CBN. He looks very smart and mabango. His eyes actually look like Rico Yan I think. Not only gwapo, but brainy too. Di na kailangan mag-ulam pa haha! He never fails to make me smile when I see him on TV. Kung may ‘crush at first sight (on TV)’ na matatawag, eto yun! Atom baby, you really got me! Haha!

If I may just share, I’m a frustrated reporter/ newscaster. Even before my highschool graduation, I’m decided to take up Mass Communications in college. I really want to be a reporter or a newscaster then. But due to slight family pressure, I took up Engineering instead since both of my siblings are Engineers. Baka ma-OP ako so I took up the same course like them. No regrets naman but I could have been happier if I were a reporter now and not an Engineer. So that explains my ultimate love for Atom. At his young age, aside from his physical looks, he’s a very accomplished news reporter which I once dreamed of.

My forever crush Atom. Don’t tell Poy haha!

Because of my love for these two, I religiously follow Patty’s “Ohlala come waste your time with me” blog. She has many stories there about her and Atom and their travels together. Their love story is like a fairytale for me. They look so perfect for each other.

Until one day, I cannot access Patty’s site anymore. All the while I thought problem lang sa blogger. It never did occur to me that Patty’s actually renovating her blog site because of her break up with Atom. I was really shocked. You see, Patty’s my idol in blogging then I heart Atom as a reporter plus they’re in a perfect relationship tapos biglang no more of them together? It was so heartbreaking. It’s like my favorite fairytale movie ended too, with no happy ending.

I am so affected.

Anyway, here is Patty’s new site. Click here. I am not yet updated though with her new blog entries now, di pa ko nakakarecover sa break up nila ni Atom eh. Backslider fan muna ako ni Patty for the meantime hehe.

HAPPY 29TH BABY!

Dear Mimay,

Yesterday we celebrated your 29 months of existence, which I can say is the happiest 29 months of my life. Because of you anak, Mamee Nani and Dadee Poy were born. Thank you. Your dadee and I still can’t believe that you have grown this fast. Easy lang neng ha? We still want to enjoy you more. Sobra kami in-love ni dadee mo sayo. You are such an adorable baby girl, sobra! The sweetest and biba baby on earth!

kabog si mamee sa boots!

For your 29^th month celebration, we had a simple dinner in Salt ‘n Vinegar with your naynay. You were so hyper as usual. You accidentally tasted the spicy garlic dip which made you scream your lungs out. We were so tensed! Buti na lang you’re brave because after sometime you’re okay na ulit. Kulit na ulit.

The same night, you received your first ever Hannah Montana bike as our gift to you. You were so happy =) I can’t explain the happiness I am feeling just by seeing you jump in joy and excitement for having your own bike.

We love you so much neng. You are God’s greatest gift to us. Happy 29^th month!

Love,

Mamee
