Thank God It's Friday!

Today, I woke up with a grateful heart. I have so much to be thankful for. First of all, today is our 118th monthsary. Two more months, and it's going to be our 10th year together! ^.^

Another thing to be thankful for is my very supportive and loving family. Last weekend, I got to talk to our eldest sister whom I haven't spoken to for four months because of a petty disagreement and misunderstanding. ^.^ My Kuya is staying with us right now and his girlfriend keeps cooking lots of food for us. My Ate Leda and her daughter, Krisette, visited us for seven days. It was a short visit but we spent quality time together. Seeing my pamangkins bond really gave a peace of mind and elation.

I just signed up for Mary Kay last Tuesday and already made a sale last Wednesday and received the payment yesterday in full. Such bliss!

My supervisor just announced to me last Monday that I am one of the four teachers being considered for TLship. We are due to be trained ASAP. It's flattering because I am the youngest among us in terms of length of tenure.

All these and another one... Another blessing was sent by heavens! Thank you, Lord for answering my prayers and for showering me with blessings more than I have ever expected. You truly are a generous God. I offer you this happiness. Thank you!!!

My Christmas Wish List...

Why this early? I'm trying to give my fairy godmothers enough time to include my wishes in their budget and enough time to shop. Fairy godfathers are also welcome to list down my wishes on their organizers... ^.^

10.) Make up...

Maybelline Great Lash Mascara (I lost my old one... Huhuhu!) - No other mascara would do for me.

Bobby Brown Set would be a nice one to wear to welcome a fab new year!

9.) Books

I've been wanting to own a copy of this phenomenal book!

Another collection I want to add to my library -- Paulo Coelho Books. I've read some of them but I also would like to have a copy which I can scan and read again whenever I feel like reading!

*The Alchemist

*The Witch of Portobello

*Veronica Decides To Die

*The Devil and Miss Prym ***etc...

8.) Scents...

My favorite everyday wear -- Bath and Body Work's Cotton Blossoms...

My not-so-ordinary-days alternative: Victoria Secret's Heavenly!

For special occasion: Red Doors By Elizabeth Arden...

7.) Nine West Shoes...

Any of these would be greatly appreciated. I already have two comfy shoes from Nine West. I like it a lot! I was thinking of Balenciaga but did you see the price?!

6.) Playstation Portable (PSP)

Another boredom-buster especially while waiting for the bus to move. Ugh!

5.) An Addition to my Kipling Bag Collection

A red handbag... I left my red backpack in Zamboanga! Kindly send it to me, please!!!

4.) A new cellular phone - Nokia N-95 8GB

My ultimate gadget for the year 2008!

3.) Magic-Sing

A nice way to spend a boring weekend and not needing to leave the house.

2.) A Toyota Fortuner Car

That's my dream car these days... Cheap, right? Any four-wheeled, roofed thing would do.

1.) A Baby Boy

Even just a positive pregnancy test before the end of 2008 would be enough! So, send me lots of baby-dusts, please!

I Love Seed Interactive!!!

38 Hours Straight of Being Awake...

September 12, 2008 Friday

I woke up at 8 am. My husband was giving me an annoying dose of morning tickles. I was still so sleepy. "A nice cup of French vanilla instant cappuccino would work magic on me later," I thought.

While in the office, everyone was already bugging me about the night out which we've planned a few days before. We needed a space in a family KTV. We had two choices in our minds: MetroWalk in Ortigas and Jupiter St in Makati. We called some KTV Bars only to found out that most of them were already fully booked.

Up until the last hour of our shift, we still hadn't decided where to go. We decided to do a walk-in and maybe wait for our turn, instead.

End of shift... Finally, we all agreed to go to Jupiter St. But wait, who were coming? The initial expected number of participants was trimmed down from 15 to 8.

Music 21... We were in the 6th place in the waiting list. But then, Maica's PR really worked for us, we were suddenly accelerated to being 1st. ^.^ We entered Room 5 just a few minutes before midnight.

September 13, 2008 Saturday

We had a feast. I'd never eaten midnight snacks that heavy. Then, the mini-concert started. I especially liked the microphone. It made me feel like a pro singer. I usually don't sing that much on videokes because I know I'm not gifted with a voice. But, boy, the mic worked magic. Hahaha!

We didn't even notice that our time was about to be finished and we were still having so much fun. So we decided to extend our time one more hour.

We went out of the bar a few minutes before 4 am. We decided to head to MCDonald's to enjoy a cup of coffee until the morn comes. Most of us were afraid to go home while it's still dark.

A nice cup of coffee (hot choco for Sher), and an interesting talk took only a few sips before we realized that the sun had already risen and it was time for us to part ways.

I reached home at 7:30am. I had a quick 10-minute nap at the bus and a 5-minute nap at the tricycle. When I reached home, I showed my husband some photos taken on the first night out I had without him since we were married. He was teasing me and I didn't know what other comments he remarked because I fell fast asleep. But then, he was really determined for us to go to my sister's condo unit in the morning because I had to escort my nephew and my niece to a birthday party at Vivere Suites in Alabang at 2:00pm.

I was close to deciding about backing out from the said event and even told my husband that he can go instead of me. I was so sleepy and groggy that when he lifted me from the sofa, I thought he was going to transfer me to our more comfortable bed. Instead, he brought me to our bedroom shower and I got so mad because he ran the shower on my fully clothed and half-awake body. That left me with no choice and so I had to take the shower and prepare myself because I had another engagement that day.

We arrived at my sister's condo unit at 10:30am. I was fully awake by then. The cold shower did wonders to keep me completely conscious. We hailed a taxi at 2:00pm to attend the Hawaiian-inspired party of the A-Listers.

The party started at 4:30pm. Huhuhu! But I got so fascinated with the beautiful kids around and some mothers who tried to make friends with me so I was able to maintain an alert state of mind.

There were a lot of activities for the kids; that's why the party lasted for 4 hours. We headed home at 8:30pm. We got to the condo at 9:15pm. Mhark and I got home at 9:45pm. After washing my face and doing my nightly regimen, I put on my eye cover and went straight to Slumber Street at around 10:00pm. ^.^

September 14, 2008 Sunday

I woke up at 11:30 am. Good thing it was Sunday so it was okay to oversleep. ^.^
