TGIF

 

SATURDAY, October 31 @ 12:20 A.M.

picture this: the winds are too strong, the sound they make are a tad creepy. galvanized roofing are flying everywhere, trees and plants are starting to get uprooted, and my poor puppy bailey is whimpering in fear… so what do you do when a super typhoon packs a helluva wind and strikes your little town on hallow’s eve, which began at early dawn?

you don’t sleep.  

naturally, napuyat ako. I slept the whole day, skipped lunch and wake up intermittently just to go to the bathroom for water breaks. that afternoon, tffee was supposed to attend the trick or treat party at the island cove because we didn’t have any celebration in my place of work. since this is the case, I never bothered to have a new costume made for her. I also didn’t know if her angel gown (an old one) was available, and my sis-in-law didn’t advise me if she was able to find it at all. in short, I thought my date with tffee was totally called off.

MONDAY (a holiday),  Nov. 2nd @ 8:00 A.M.

tffee said her gown was ready that saturday. but since she didn’t see me (I was sleeping, remember), she thought we weren’t going to island cove anymore. oh, no! my niece wasn’t able to go trick or treatin’ and it’s getting clear as the skies after typhoon “santi” hit that this is all MY fault! darnnitt.

to make up for it, I bought treats that same day and packed individual bags which I then handed over to all our kamag-anaks within our family compound. I asked tffee to dress up, and I put facepaints on her face haphazardly. she merrily went house-hopping and filled her neon green pumpkin bag to the brim with goodies. the little girl was a happy “moo-moo”.

and that’s how the scripted trick or treatin’ ended that beautiful november afternoon. good times

have a great weekend, everyone!

a!a  

what a boring blog. seriously.

 

I am still here. but obviously unable to blog for the longest time.

case in point:

- I was drained of all creative juices after the “idol” competition, mojo decided to hibernate

- I got sick for several days

- I got well. but mojo decided to eventually take a leave of absence

-  I got busy at work

- the homefront needed my undivided attention

- work made me leave home and fly the local friendly skies

- when I got back. I was too tired. got busy again.

- I was introduced to facebook.

- but I managed to do design team work for a bit here; which was like ages ago

- got sick again (what the?!)

- enjoyed facebook

- then typhoon ondoy hit

- putting my scrapstuff in a very depressing disarray

- still enjoying facebook (ooh, I’m so busted!)

but I promise to get back on track. I missed blogging. I may have a couple of good news in the next few days thanks for hanging out just the same.h

women + chocolates + age

 

here’s a fun game to brighten up your gloomy thursday:

DON’T CHEAT! it takes less than a minute. work this out as you read.

first of all, pick the number of times a week that you would like to have chocolate (more than once but fewer than 10)

multiply this number by 2

add 5

multiply it by 50 - – - c’mon, get a calculator

if you have already had your birthday this year, add 1759 …
if you haven’t, add 1758.

now subtract the four digit year that you were born.

you should have a three digit number -

the first digit of this was your original number
(of  how many times you want to have chocolate each week)

the next two numbers are…

YOUR AGE! 

this is the only year it will ever work, so spread the joy!

q

happy easter!

 

f

you know the drill.

 

to the tune of  “bubuka ang bulaklak”

bubukesh ang floweret 

jojosok ang reynabelz

shochurva ang chacha

pa-jempot jempot fah

boom tiyayavush

tiyayavush chenes… boom!

to the tune of “pen pen de sarapen”

pen pen de chorvaloo

de kemerloo, de eklavoo

hao hao de chenelyn de big yuten

sfriti dapat iipit

goldness filak chumochorva

sa tabi ng chenes!

shoyang fula, talong na fula

shoyang fute, talong na mafute

chuk chak chenes, namo uz ek!

HAPPY MONDAY!

who wants to be dolled-up?

 

my good friend ana santos is offering a very affordable hair and make-up graduation package. and I  must tell you that she is very good (she did my make-up once), having been educated at the center for aesthetic studies (sister company of franck provost).

graduation package: Php900.00/person for a group of four (4)

special package for a group of five (5) or more

some of her recent juicy gigs are fashion shoots for metro magazine and uno magazine for men. she also does weddings, proms and events.  if you want to go the extreme by having avant garde make-up, she can do that as well.

and you know how women are so antsy in the way their base make-up is done, i.e. foundation? she does it f-l-a-w-l-e-s-s-l-y. so please help spread the word! link them up to my friend ana santos

thanks, peeps!
