Will pack again (soon)
We might move again. We will confirm this news in a few days but there's a 80% chance that this will be a reality. My parents will be purchasing this house at their village, so no more rents for them. And they invited us to move in with them, so no more rents for us too (fingers crossed). What I'm thinking about now is the move (again). I know how it is to pack, move and unpack. We've done it 3 times already hahaha. I've been checking sites for information and tips on how to pack easily. I found some very useful tips on packing with names and twist tie, prioritizing non what to pack and what to leave behind. We've done this before, I know we can do it again.

Starbucks Planner 2012
Starbucks Planner 2012:
LIKES:
> Its compact and portable. Just the right size. Fit inside a backpack, shoulder bag or purse.
> I specifically like the bag/pouch that comes with it. I could easily slide a pen, cash, my cellphone or an ATM card and go.
> Discount coupons are an add-on. It would be nice it they would add more perks in it.
> Neutral earth colors. It suits the taste of many. It's classy but not too formal.
> Paper quality is good. Easy to write on.
> Less adverts/pictures, and more space for notes to write on.
DISLIKES:
> The planner is slightly deformed once the outer plastic cover is removed (it's not flat anymore).
> Hard cover. At first, I was afraid to touch it because I might get a splinter. It would be great if the cover is not that hard. Maybe that explains why the whole thing is deformed.
> Since the planner is slightly open, the bookmark adds to it because it's too thick. Plus, there's a 99 percent chance that I'll loose it because it's not attached to the planner.
> It would be swell if there's a pen that comes with it.
> Cannot put the planner in the pouch easily. Probably the texture and material of the pouch. Sometimes it's an hassle especially when in a hurry. Arrgh.
What your verdict?
Anyway, Thanks sister A for the Starbucks Planner!

A-OK
I just realized that my birthday is coming up. So a month from now, I'll be a year older again. I A-OK with growing up and getting older but ever since I got into my 30's, it's hard to deny that I'm worried and don't know why. Life seems to pass with a blink of an eye. So what do I want for my birthday? Here's a list of what I can think of...
1. Join Fun Run
2. Full body massage
3. Ace Water spa
... but if you're planning to get me something, funny t shirts will do but I prefer a good cup of joe.. Cheers!

BBM me!
Everybody in the family is using a blackberry phone. Even my mom and dad who is not a techie person is an expert on sending BBM messages and pictures, and I ENVY THEM! My sister S really wants to get one. She will even pay for it. Now, I'm currently hunting for a great deal. I even texted my other sisters--I asked if they know anybody who will sell their blackberry. I don't mind second, as long as it's still in good shape. I'm now feeling the blackberry craze and I can't wait to get one! BBM ME SOON!

2 days left
Yup! It's two days left before the kiddo's birthday. Plus MIL and BIL will go back to the US on the same day. We'll definitely gonna miss them both. Anyway, kiddo and I are here in SM Fairview doing some last minute shopping for her birthday party in school tomorrow. I ordered spagetti and drink at Mcdo and will be delivered 8am tom. Loot bags checked. All we need now is to buy mamon from Red Ribbon plus decide what cake we need to bring for her candle blowing.
Kiddo is growing up fast. As in growing taller. That's a good sign right. Anyway, will continue walking after I finish my coffee here in Country Style.
Have a fun fun weekend to all!

FIL's 60th Birthday!
FIL's 60th birthday today at Jade Valley. It's gonna be a major family reunion on my hubby's side of the family. Can't wait to meet them all. But I'm still undecided what to wear. I agreed on the motif--something Blue. Then I realized, I don't have anything blue. As in. Wardrobe check please. Will probably wear the maroon dress since the kiddo will be wearing pink. Good day.

Gift idea
BIL's 60th birthday is coming up and I haven't got anything for him yet. He seems to have the things he needs and if I get something that he likes, I can't afford it. Yes, it's that expensive. I'm thinking of something thoughtful this time. Not really expensive or anything, so I thought a desk name plates for his table at work. It's simple and nothing fancy. Besides, it's the thought that counts right.

Hilot
Finally finished 'hilot' an hour ago at my parents house. I was advised to keep the bandage on for 3 more days for support. And for my right foot, I was advised not to wear heels, and careful not to step on bumps and humps. I hope my foot will recover soon so I can start working out because I just received Wii Fitness Plus from my sister last Christmas and I can't wait to try it.Enjoy the rest of the week guys!

Talks
Being talkative has it's advantages, like the kiddo.. she always say what's in her in mind and what she feels. And being her mother, that's a good thing. We always talk about anything. From our fun talks to our serious talks. She even told me what she would want to be when she grow up. Nurse, doctor, veterinarian and teacher. I know I want her to be a successful musician because that's my frustration haha. We always want our kids to be like us. But of course I will not force her to be someone she does not want. Anyway, she's considering to be a Veterinarian because she's in-love with pets nowadays. Veterinarian Jobs are always in-demand so that's okay hahaha. Anyway, she still has more than 15 years to decide so we need not to hurry hahaha.

Subic
We are here in Subic. Finished the Sea Lion and Dolphin show this morning at Ocean Adventure and had lunch at Xtremely Xpresso Cafe. Big Ben's pizza never fails to full an empty stomach. We are on our way back to Ocean Adventure to claim our cd from the photo souvenir. Yes I did touch them and it was creepy (for me that is). Then we'll go to Zoobic Safari next. Have a great weekend to all.

TGIF
Our Ace Water spa trip was cancelled today so we just slept the whole day. Off to subic very early tomorrow. Hectic schedule I know. Thank God for vacation leaves. We've been in and out of town since the start of the year. I hope it'll be like this the whole year hahaha, or maybe out of the country? Who knows. Anyway, I'm still reminiscing the events of my sister's wedding yesterday. We are all excited to see pictures.
My left foot still hurts and so is my right. I'm not concern if I will survive the subic tomorrow because I know I will. I'm more worried on the 'hilot' part on Monday. Goodluck to me.
Anyway, happy TGIF to all.

Just got married
....my sister that is. Oh gosh! The wedding yesterday was so tiring. Everybody did a great job. Kudos to my sister A and of course, the on-the-day coordinators. Another successful zitros party! Can't wait to meet zitrobelles again later plus our new extended family. We'll hit Ace Water later this afternoon to unwind, chill and relax. Problem is, I think my left is worst than ever. I used high heels at the wedding until reception and now I can't walk flat properly anymore. I hurts alot when I put my foot down on the ground. Left side of the foot still hurts from the previous fall and now I can feel pain on the right part. I really need manghihilot big time.
Anyway, I can't wait to see the pictures from the official photographer. But for now, here's a sneak peak of my sister's wedding....

Thunderbird, Poro Point La Union
It's our second day here and we're going home tomorrow. Love everything here. The room, service, accommodation, mood, pool, etc. Minus the beach because it's small and full of seaweeds. But we still had fun time together. Quality family time. Anyway, here are some pictures taken from the iTouch. I wish apple would make an iTouch with better cameras. As in 8MP camera just like the iPhone4s haha. So I would blog from here with no hassle.
Anyway, random pictures below....

Watta week!
We spend our new year at hubby's house. MIL was so happy to be with the kiddo. Priceless moments. Then we went to Pampanga for a small family birthday lunch. Hubby's side again. We just got home at my parent's house now is currently waiting for my sister, who just arrived from Dubai. Hubby and the kiddo are playing Wii while I post an entry. Anyway, I might fall asleep anytime soon because I'm so tired.
Tomorrow will need to wake up early because we'll go to Thunderbird in La Union with hubby's family and will stay there for 3 days. Then when we get back on Thursday, it's gonna be my sister's wedding. Watta week!
