Hello Singapore!
We had a family trip to Singapore last December 2011. Here are some clips from our DIY trip! ^_^
We took the afternoon flight to SG - via Cebu Pacific. Plane tickets were not on sale but are still way cheaper than the other air lines.
What I always like about Cebu Pac is that they are always on time. We arrived at the Changgi Budget Terminal at around 5:00PM.
Our first glimpse of...

Hey Tumblr!
Oh how I’ve missed you!
Lately I’ve been preoccupied with work (naturally), wedding preps, and with books books books! More about that last part soon! ^_^
We’ve been taking our time with our wedding preps lately but we have to pick up our pace!!! Check out the updates on our blog here!
It’s 10 months to go before our wedding and my hair is not getting any longer! HAH!

Bulgogi Brothers
A friend recommended that we visit Bulgogi Brothers in Greenbelt 5. And I’m glad we did! It had a very modern and chic interior with K-Pop playing in the tv screens - adorable!
They served sweet corn, sweet potato and quail eggs as appetizers and spinach salad, kimchi and kangkong in a free vegetable plate. But because I’m a very terrible blogger, walang pictures! HA HA HA!
We were...

Promises are made to be Broken
So I know I promised to update SOON…but it’s only a week to go before Christmas and I am really really busy!!!
There’s a lot to share and I dearly hope I find the time!
I’ve got one thing done though - our new wedding site! Yay!
Check it out! - http://sherwinmarj.wordpress.com/

Young Homie
So sorry, can’t really think of a blog title! Hence, the song by my favorite X Factor contestant - Chris Rene!
It’s been a very busy last two weeks for me, but I promise to update this blog soon!
Meantime, we finally decided on putting up a wedding site - and here it is!
Oh, and by the way, another party’s coming up tonight! Help on this please?!
Wish me luck! ^_^

For the first time, Pacman’s fight caused A LOT of trouble! HA HA HA
No, crime rate during the fight was still low. But it did create a big mess with pinoy boxing fans. Half see it as a win for our hometown hero, and half see it as a win for Marquez.
Personally, while watching the fight, I thought Manny was losing. When he won, I thought that was unfair. But then again, I am not a...

My Lucky Day
My lucky day started with 3 hours of sleep - barely 3 hours. October 22 - I have a certification exam scheduled at 9:00AM. So the night before, I was cramming - naturally. hehe. So with just 3 hours of sleep, during the exam, I felt like a zombie. 0_0 We were given ample time to finish, but my eyes were killing me by the end of the first hour. And so…I gave up on reviewing my answers,...

Fourteen Days Later
This day marks the end of my two week vacation. ;-(
My boss generously gave us two weeks off after completing our project. Of course I wanted to spend it wisely and thought of accomplishing the following:
1. Review for the certification exam
2. Watch Spartacus - Season 1
3. Continue watching the remaining episodes of Macross
4. Finish reading Game of Thrones
5. Learn another dish
6. Finish...

Soon It's Christmas!!!
And my favorite gift to give and receive are books! :)
For a friend’s birthday, I gave her “Before Ever After” - a book I wanted for myself as well. haha.
Aside from loving it’s cover, I am very much intrigued by the book that was conceived in a coffee shop! How I wish something great would also come out of my idle time. HAH!
Three years after her husband Max’s death,...

Back on Track
I think, for the most part, life is pretty simple. Figure out what you want, work hard, then go for it with everything you have. If you fail, learn from your mistakes then try again.
I’ve been doing this for so long, why the heck did I stop now?
I guess it’s true, feelings always gets in the way and leaves you confused and back to where you started.

A Lazy Post
Until today, I am not quite sure what my style is. I just know that it’s a mix. And it’s not girly. And it has to be comfy.
So I guess it’s inevitable that I fall in love with knits. ;-)
But I am getting older, and have got to dress my age. Something like this then?
NAH! Not for a long long time if I can help it. haha. 0_0

This weekend is a non working weekend - finally! And I’m pretty proud of myself for spending it wisely. ;-) I’ve finished one book and started another one, yay!
April and Oliver by Tess Callahan is a good read. The narration shifts from past to present, making it quite confusing at times. I feel for both April and Oliver, both are broken and both are lost. But I found myself confused...

You know you’ve read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend.

It sure feels like I’ve lost a friend. I would miss going to Hogwarts.
This was the last - the last time I would see it all come to life. So I didn’t want to spoil the experience by reading the book again before I watched the movie. Like I did the first...

Razzle Dazzled Again!
I wanted to cut my hair for a long time already. But the stylists always refuse. :|
Finally, I went back to my now favorite salon - Razzle Dazzle and to my favorite stylist - Joey!

Like the first time, I loved it! Plus Joey’s assistant gave me a very soothing head & shoulder massage!...

I did say that I will really try to get tickets…So yeah, I bought tickets from a scalper. =(( It’s not helping to put a stop to them, I know. But since they probably bought every bleacher ticket there is, what else can we do?

Girl, if you were really raped, have some self respect and don’t go around saying you wish them well and you have nothing against them. Aaaarghh. Ikaw na ang madaling maka move on! 1 month? Taray mo teh!
If you were really raped, fight for yourself and for your family, whom you claim you don’t want to hurt.

I just slept all day! Preparing for the puyatan that is Philippines vs. Kuwait Qualifiers Leg 1. They lost 3-0. =(( They did very well during the first half. Sayang. But still, I’m very happy because of how far they’ve come.

Judging by how hard it pours, I knew this would be a long ride home. So while watching the snakelike traffic in Manila, my head started sorting out the things I have to do.
In the middle of report deadlines and dues to pay, I suddenly thought of you - and that area that we’re in. In the middle of everything confusing - that gray area between friends and more than...

Who Let the Dogs Out?!
Admittedly, like most Filipinos, I am a basketball fan. I’ve never really paid any attention to football/soccer/rugby/baseball or any other sport.
That was until FIFA 2010! I went with boyfie to watch some games and had fun! ;-)
This afternoon, the Phil team - Azkals played Sri Lanka for Leg 2 of the 1st Qualifier Round for FIFA 2014.
With a 4-0 win, they keep the dream alive as they...

Health Benefits Unlike regular green tea leaves, which are removed when brewed, Matcha leaves are whisked with water and consumed entirely. This ensures that Matcha drinkers consume a higher concentration of green tea antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and fibres.

I Still Think About You...
Because of the news that too much coffee may decrease your chances of having babies, I am restraining myself from my one favorite food drink.
Okay, so I am not trying to have a baby - yet. Just taking precautions. HA HA HA!
I can’t withdraw from it at once, so I am limiting myself to one cup a day. It’s only been two days and I’m feeling sooooo down already. =((

Or better yet, because it’s Monday! HAH!

I’ll just pin my hopes again to the music of The Script - take me...

Nothing Stands Still.
I hate waiting. Although I am admittedly late myself sometimes! But there are some things that you cannot do on your own. Some things that are not entirely up to you. It becomes especially frustrating when all you can see ahead of you are uncertainties and hesitations. I am a go-getter. I know what I want and I work hard to get it. This time though, I cannot and would not force myself. All I can...
