=(..

its' been a while since i went to baguio.. i came back last weekend and guess what.. we had an accident in concepcion tarlac.. this is one of those places where people arent friendly.. they gang up on you and they dont help you! grrrrr.. bad experience..

was asleep when i heard a loud bang and saw our side mirror on the road.. thank God i had my seatbelt on even if i was sitting at the back.

our driver hit a motorcycle coming from the other side of the highway. turns out the guy only had a student permit and didnt really know how to drive his scooter (on a national highway). we were late for 3 hours.. had to wait for the police report and bring the dude to the hospital. sheesh..

i'll never forget this kagawad who was in shorts, a yellow shirt, and tsinelas. he took our keys and told us kagawad daw sha. my boss was super tapang: "wala akong paki alam kung kagawad kayo. akina yung susi namin. kelangan ko ng aircon!" go ma'am sue!

nanoys looking at our service.. haaay..

our busted tire

my boss, and our driver.. talking to the kid's dad.. palitan daw namin ng bago yung motor niya. haller?????

birthday ko

the Lord is so good.. He gave me a perfect family and awesome friends... my birthday was supposed to be an "emo" one.. but the Lord did not allow it. haha!

i love my family.. and i love my girls.. no single girl should live without them..

thanks for my surprise!!! loveit loveit loveit

Vietnam food

our Vietnam branch sent us some of their delicasies.. i wasnt brave to try them.. just some...

this is hard as dried caramel.. they warned me not to try it since i had my braces on..

this is 14200 dong! (spell check) have no idea how much is that.. siguro mga 100 pesos?

the caramely candy

this tastes like dried atsara daw


this looks like a lumpia wraper

parang prunes daw ito.. and kyamoy

with my magnet.. ito masarap.. cashew with caramel

lisa frank

sorry, i dont think i will ever outgrow this part of me..

i still feel excited when i see pencils and stickers and notepads and all those non-sense stuff little girls want.



this is on my list. a 30 piece collection. i'm splitting with 4 other girls since this is too expensive. i'm excited!

1. the story had a really good sense.. not the usual batman movie

2... but i have to watch it again to catch every single detail

3. no wonder why they say heath (spell check) couldn't take the role.. joker was a sad character

4. joker was excellently played by the late heath ledger.. sayang..

Prep Camp

Visisted PREP CAMP 2 weeks ago. i used to be a pre school teacher and this was my first job. the school has a new building and it looks great! it was a surprise visit. sayang nga, was not able to document it. my phone got busted and my dad was waiting for me outside so i was in a rush.. i said hi to the teachers and visited one of sheka's class.. this is the only pic i took. after that, my camera stopped working.. =(

.

i miss teaching so much.. i know this will still be my calling after many years in the corp world.. i wish i could go back to my classroom with my old students (who are probably in 6th grade right now) and just stay in for a rainy day...

umbrella covers and more

was really rainy in hk when we arrived there the other weekend. nways, one of the things i noticed was that stores provided plastic bags for your umbrellas when you walk in so you dont get their place all muddy.

one store had this nice container out front. tek a luk!

you slip your umbrella in the hole on top and pull it out of the box towards you. and behold: your payong is now in a plastic and is no longer dripping all over the place.




i duno if you guys seen this stuff around but for me, this was a first. i wonder what they call it?



another weird thing i saw during my vacation was this gigantic walking stick? mantis? ewan.. it was almost a foot long... just there... on the wall... what the?? it really looked like a twig





another weird thing was this: strawberry butter.. super yummy... and when i asked our friend where they got it, she said someone brought it from GENERAL SANTOS city.. haller??? meron ba nito sa manila? bakit hindi ko alam?

Inside a HK cab

a funny reminder:

IF A PASSENGER DOES NOT WEAR A SEAT BELT (IF AVAILABLE):

1. He commits and offence;

2. The driver of the vehicle may refuse the hire or to drive ; and

3. He may be required to pay the fare and leave the vehicle


MWEHEHEHEHEHE... c'mon it! enumeration time...

Love at first sight...

~40% off

~last pair

~my size

MEANT TO BE..

shop and sell

when you buy and buy stuff for yourself.....

you should de-clutter (tama ba?) your life....

after several visits to the mall, i decided to have another garage sale. i duno if it's because our posters were released less than a week before but my garage sale was a flop =( compared to the previous ones i had, this one was really sad. i havnt even counted the money we got in the shoe box.. as in siguro mga less than 1k lang yun...

oh well. it just shows that maybe people are realizing the need to spend less for things you just want... look at the fuel price!

but then how come whenever you go to the mall, people are still swarming over bargain stuff?

Congratulations to Jose Bien, Jr. and Genevieve Magallanes!

~i'm super happy for you sis!!! love you!

Lyrics - Healing

Now that we have gotten through
One more fallI can just admit I've got it all
Cause I do Cause I've got you
We've crossed these battle lines to many times
It passes throught the heart
But it never leaves a mark

Cause Your love just keeps on healing me
No matter how I bruiseIf I just trust You
Your love just keeps on healing me
One more clue
One more chance that wasnt there before
In your armsno pain can harm the way im feeling
Lord I know that Your love is healing

I've kicked around those lines in my head
But I've never listened to the words that
You saidSee where its lead
Well I know I have it now
Cause You showed me how
And all I had to do
Was just to keep my eyes on You

Cause Your love just keeps on healing me
No matter how I bruise
If I just trust You
Your love just keeps on healing me
One more clue
One more chance that wasnt there before
In your armsno pain can harm the way im feeling
Lord I know that Your love is healing

(break)

Cause Your love just keeps on healing me
No matter how I bruise
If I just trust You
Your love just keeps on healing me
One more clue
One more chance that wasnt there before
In your arms no pain can harm the way im feeling
Lord I know that Your love is healing
