Have you tried the “Royce’ Nama Chocolate”? A friend told me it is the best chocolate she ever tasted, quite intriguing! She said it really melts in the mouth. It was actually a gift from her friend and she only eats one section at a time. According to her, the size of a section is the same as the shift key of a keyboard.
Who hates chocolate? Maybe some, but I am not one of them. Let’s try this and see for ourselves if it is really the chocolate to die for…
Back to vacation mania… isang araw na lang!!! Yep, bukas na lang. Hay gusto ko na umuwi :D Monday na Monday, nakakatamad magtrabaho :D

Gems already went to her trip for her hometown, Ilocos, earlier this evening. Sadly, she needs to go back at the office on the 31st. My December 24th schedule was cancelled, Thanks, so I don’t have to spend the Christmas on the bus, though I don’t really celebrate Christmas hehe.
I received 4 more gifts today, joining the other two I received last friday. Nakakahiya wala akong gifts sa kanila. I’ll surprise them na lang on New Year.
Speaking of New Year, I still got problem, not actually problem but just difficulty, choosing what to wear on our New Year Costume Party! I am actually the organizer – at dapat kina-karir ko to! I’ve got few options in mind:
v Touch of 80’s (yuck)
v Fairy – with magic wand and butterfly wings (eeeew)
v Masquerade – e di same lang sa pictures ko sa Christmas Party? (nope!)
v Lara Croft – this is actually Gems suggestion, keri ko ba to? (gulp)
v Pocahontas – mahirap hanapin ang costume (nuh)
Any suggestions?
While everybody talks about their up coming vacation next week, ako naman I’ll talk about my list for 2009 so I can look back at this post by next year and see if these really happen.
v Save money. It feels good when you get something from fruits of your labor, and you know that you really exerted effort to save that amount. You, and the people you loved most, appreciate it and are happy about it.
v If things fall right into its places, I’ll make the life changing decision in my life, I think I am ready.
v Enroll in a dance class, I’ve got classmates already.
v Collect wines.
v Reveal the greatest secret of my life to someone.
v Gain weight.
Last year, below was my list. Let’s see if I accomplished any. Items in black are those unaccomplished on my list. Not bad! Yey!

It is only 10 days to go before the much anticipated event in our family starting at the end of this year will happen. 5 days to go for my last 2008 salary. And 3 more working days and I will be on vacation! Yey!
This coming Saturday will be our Thanksgiving for this year, giving all back to Him all the blessings that we received all throughout the year. I would say the last two years have been very tough for me but thankfully I’ve been surviving them all, I really can still smile.
Truly, easy becomes very easy when you have learned it in a hard way. Happy reflection!
Twitter mode muna ako, maiba naman:

3:25pm
Zeny started curling my hair.

First time kong makasali sa isang costume party at hindi lang basta costume party, it’s a masquerade party! Madalas sa
Wala na ako sa La Salle, pero
Bukas na ang masquerade party pero hindi ko pa rin ma feel ang excitement. Bakit kaya? Kumpleto na naman ako sa isusuot, pati ang maskara. Nakapag dress rehearsal na din naman ako, at sa tingin ko, ang ganda ko naman. Siguro kasi nasa isip ko pa din ang naka hang na deployment ko ng project. Ayokong masira ang bakasyon ko kung dumami pa ang aberya sa proyekto kong ito. Hay.
Bukas ko na lang kayo babalitaan tungkol sa party.
Despite the busy schedule in our project team, we had our year end party last Friday, just an hour to have a good time and a small dinner party.
I got my gift as wished :D
Just a few more hours after the party was my sister's birthday and another anniversary. Special days are meant to be remembered and celebrated even just in a simple yet unforgettable way.
To this Special Day! Cheers!
I got a very busy, hectic and tipid mode week -- turned out to be a great week!
Since last month, I had to cut my budget because I had to spend some money for our house renovation. I will welcome two more families next month. I want them to feel they are really back at H-O-M-E. Raed and I went last Saturday to Divisoria (the mother of all tiangge’s), and instead of buying goodies for myself, I ended up spending for house decorations. Mas nakatipid ako kung i-cocompare ko sa prices sa SM.
Sowbrang daming tao!
Thanks Raed for this bag. She brought this so we won’t have to buy new ones.
Aside from our shopping, Raed and I also got a chance to talk about what’s new to her… what’s new to me…, and I also got to squeeze out from her some of the hottest tsismis (although bilasa na sa kanila, sa akin smokin’ hot kasi nun ko pa lang nalaman hehehe) in my previous work.
And so I ended up missing the good old days again. :’(
Di bale, I’ll get to see most of them on Sunday at Snowbell’s party.
Thanks Raed for the company, I couldn’t get there without you. Hehehe.
I also did enjoy lifting 20 yards of slipcover fabric (approx weighing 10 kilos) hehehe. We shared the load.
The rain did add up to fun! ^_^
I am so tired right now. I don’t want to see anymore Visual Studio and SQL Server apps on my desktop before I go home tonight. #_#
All I want to do is to lay my back on my bed and put a pillow under my legs. I’ve got a lot of work to do tomorrow; our family reunion is fast approaching; my house renovation project must be finished in three weeks! But before that, I had to wish first for Jasper bus to pass Ayala intersection at exactly 11:30pm later or else I need to stop at Coastal Mall again.
I had to admit, I have been rude to myself for not sleeping on time that is why I have been so tired this past few days. I installed
Thinking about the getting addicted to pc games again, I miss my Sims 2. The last time I played Sims, I got my 3 daughters to finish college and me getting the highest on my profession as a doctor. Anyone who has installer???
i want my sims 2 back! Waaaaa
Have you ever tried searching for your name in the internet to check out if you might discover that you share the same name with other people you thought never existed?
I always consider my name as unique as my personality :) until I came to discover that I share the same name (and surname) with a girl of my age. It was in 2004, having business email address became so popular with my officemates. It did make sense because I won’t be giving out email address like rainbowbright33@yahoo.com or something like pa_cute_ako29@hotmail.com especially when we were attending Microsoft events and seminars. Since Yahoo offers multiple public profiles, so I tried adding yahoo.com and that was the time I discovered that another person named exists somewhere in Muntinlupa City. At first I wasn’t so sure, but later on I was convinced that I had a katukayo.
And so I ended signing up to Gmail with my named email address.
Later that year, I added her to my Friendster and Yahoo Messenger. She accepted all the invites but we never had a chance to talk. I guess she was not that interested. I visit her Friendster account when I have a chance. Sometimes I still feel awkward that she has my full name. Hehehe.
But here’s another twist: http://cherrie-chet.blogspot.com. The girl is definitely not me and not the other katukayo. I discovered just this week. Well, she has my name and she also has the ‘not-so-usual-nickname’ –- . Hehehe. Check out her website and you’ll see for your self.
Maybe this is no big deal for those who have common Filipino names like Juan Dela Cruz, etc. but for me… it is! ^_^
I found this picture in my Friendster account a while ago. Believe it or not, we laugh at this for hours. By just looking at it, no words, we just can’t stop to laugh!
The shot was taken by my brother-in-law. This was one of our “Maging Sino Ka Man” nights. Thanks to TFC, we were able to reach Filipino shows in
When they come here on December, I want to give back to them the hospitality they have shown to me while I was there. They have given me the most comfortable caring and support beyond what I have expected from a sister and a brother-in-law.
I am still paying for abusing my muscles and remaining strength since last Friday. Hindi pa nawawala ang sakit ng katawan ko. This badminton tournament at Blue Racket in Makati City was a very memorable experience for me because I got four bruises on my right arm, muscle pain on my shoulder and armpit, aching butt, bukol on my forehead and a bruise on my right knee. ^_^
Pero naman…… makarating ba sa semi-finals??? hahaha! Here’s the preview of the game. Game 7 with Daisy and Chris was our last game. Sayang, isa na lang pang Championship na :D
Here are some of the photos:
Of course, meeting new friends was one of my goals. Some were those I only see their faces at the corridor or inside the elvator. But after the tournament, nagkakatawanan na.
Right after Game 7, we went straight to Zen’s apartment because I don’t think I could go back to
Ang s-a-y-a. Videoke, swimming, billiards, kain, inom ^_^v, kwentuhan, tsismisan, tulog. Yun na!
I was with the first group to go back to
After church, I went straight to bed and woke up at 2:30pm. Ooopps, may isa pa palang pending task, grocery! I went to SM supermarket with my sis’s family. Super speedy shopping kami para maabutan namin ang The Singing Bee ^_^.
That’s my weekend. Next week, Divisoria adventure ulit with Raed…

With my PSP coming next month, this game would definitely takeover the Tetris fever in my younger years. Patapon is the most played PSP games right now in my office. Even She told me that she was starting to get addicted to the game. Magpuyat ba? Hehehe.
I remember I used to hate Mr. V buying overpriced GameBoy games. Inaaway ko talaga sya. Nagseselos yata ako. Hehehe. And here I am doing the same thing. ^_^ Hahaha!
I guess sometimes we need to let our inner child come out. It is one way to balance things out. However, it should be in a moderate way or else the balance will get ruined.
Happy playing!
Morning of Saturday last week I went to a Jollibee Kiddie Party of my officemate’s son. He turned four. The proof that I enjoyed the party was that I even joined one of the games for growies, the look-a-like contest. I picked Angel Locsin (hahaha!), Zeny was Lucy Torres and the rest were Anne Curtis and Marian Rivera. We were asked to show our talents and through the audience’ round of applause, Anne Curtis won. I think she’s my officemate’s neighbor (madami kasing kasama, hahaha!)
After the party, I was supposed to go with them for binyagan event of another officemate in
At 4pm, everyone at home was getting depressed that no delivery was coming yet and of course the excitement was spoiled. I called SM customer service to check the status. The girl said all deliveries on that day should be finished by 9:00pm, oo nga naman maaga pa para mag-panic. At 6:30pm, someone knock at our gate and whoa! The boxes were there! I got three big boxes: one for the tv, for the home cinema system and the other one was for the free tv rack. Although I didn’t have more money for my groceries the next day, my expenses paid off with excitement and more bonding moments in our house.
My next target is Wii!
This week will be a very busy week for me. I got a lot of deadlines and presentation on Friday. Badminton Championship will be on Saturday morning, and our overnight team building at Laguna in the afternoon as well.
Partner List is already sent out! And my partner is… Che ^_^
Che – Che'T – nice combination. If we’re going to compose our team’s cheer, it would be ‘Go Che-Che't, Go Che-Che't!’. She’s level B and I’m level C, patay tayo dyan. There are limited players in level B so I got dragged up to fill in. Tomorrow will be our first practice as teammates. Hopefully we could build up some good teamwork. ^_+
As preparation, I bought a Nike backpack and a new badminton racket this morning. Naks, excited talaga hehehe. Late bloomer talaga ako. I need to replace my old racket I have been using for years. I guess three years na! Hahaha,my old red
November 15 Championship, here I come!
Here are my 3 ½-hour grand puppies. Time of birth: 6:30am. It was very hard but we decided to keep only three of them. The white one will go.
We haven’t decided their names yet but I am thinking of naming the one of them with Sam or Max or Buddy. ^_^
Ooopps! As of 10:14am, another two puppies came out! Waaaaaa. And another black puppy and a white one too. Six na sila!
Three browns,two whites, and a black.
Latest Update: As of 11:50am, there were seven of them! Three browns,two whites, a black and a gray.
DaddyDemz: Ano ba yan, parang factory ng tuta!
As of 2:35PM, EIGHT na sila!!! Another black pearl puppy. ^_^ And... we decided that we'll keep them ALL!
Everyone was on a holiday, Catholic’s day of celebrating the reunion of the dead relatives with their families ...
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I liked the weather yesterday, so nice for having a swimming at Oceana in Island Cove. This was supposed to be my treat for Jellypotpot’s birthday, but I did not pay for it actually, it was Mr.V’s.
We had our lunch at
I think we waited the food for almost an hour! We also noticed that all huts were occupied by guests, families everywhere, and normal for a holiday like last Saturday. And because of the liquor ban on that day, “Lasinggeros” like CoolJo were very disappointed. Hehe. But there was a loop hole; we saw the hut across us got a bucket of beer then the waiter told us only foreigners could order beer! CoolJo even joked that he is a Chinese. After a while, we noticed that beers were served. Sobrang dami siguro ng nagreklamong customers.
After the bountiful lunch, we went straight to Oceana for the main event -- the swimming.
There were few people inside unlike during summer. Mr. V promised to send the pictures as soon as possible. I love my head-first glide position at the slide!
Since our Oceana tickets have free visit to Island Wild Life, we went there as our last stop. I think the best part there was the Butterfly Farm because the rest of the animals were the usual ones seen in other Zoo’s I have visited. However, we never saw even one butterfly because it was already getting dark and I guess they were already hiding somewhere. People should go here during daytime to appreciate the beauty of the wild life more.
No sunset was captured, not even the cute little blue bird and the colorful flowers around the park along the pathway. It was because no spare batteries were brought. >_<
At the end of the day, everyone was tired but made us all very happy. If Lola and Nanay were there, it would definitely be happier. They were already gone but they will NEVER be forgotten.
Love you Lola, Love you Nanay...
You might want to try these, Krispy Kreme Halloween Treats!… Here are Creepy Crawly Web, Mr. Pumpkin Head and Scarecrow Jr.
The rest are Boo
Thanks for always being there for me...
We went to visit Lola Inching and NanayRose last Sunday at the memorial park. I just realized how irresponsible I was when I kept on requesting DaddyDemz to come with us while he kept on refusing since last week. He had a lot of excuses.
On my calculation, when my mother died, that was his first and last to see her there… he has never come back… My mistake, I was so insensitive to know that he doesn’t really want to go there.
When we got there, most of the people were busy sweeping the ground, cleaning the area and trimming the grass while most kids were running and playing, not aware of the solemn place they were in.
On Thursday, we’ll get back there to put boundary marker on the ground just like other families do so no one would accidentally step on it since we will not be there on November 1st.
I don’t know if I am going to ask him again to come.
One month more, my blog is turning one! ^_^
I bought half dozen Krispy Kreme donuts for pasalubong. @
I forgot to pay the ticket for my bus ride from Ayala to Baclaran last night. >_<
I forgot to pay the ticket for my bus ride from Buendia to Ayala this afternoon, again. >_<
I bought Quickly Taro + Choco + Nata this afternoon, missed it soooo much. T_T
I am wearing my new gray sweatshirt I bought from Folded&Hung. ~_@
My dinner was Chicken Soup and Brown Bread. Yum. “_”
I am already on Chapter 8 of Twilight. I want to finish reading the book before I watch the movie next month. @_@
It’s almost 11pm, I am going home. Happy Weekend! ^=^
Fighting the sleepiness I am feeling right now is no easy for me. It’s 3:18pm. Even though I am on earphones mode with high volume level, my tired eyes are just closing and I keep on yawning from time to time.
I think this is the combination hot shower I took after the badminton session earlier at The Zone from 11:00am-12:30pm and the Spaghetti & Chicken Meal I ate from KFC. I am supposed to be energized but why I really want to lie down on a soft bed and take a deep sleep so when I wake up, it’s 11:00pm already. Hahaha. Bad Cheetah!
Some of my officemates were hiring a badminton trainer for P250.00 per hour. I am still thinking twice if I will join them next session or not because I don’t think the price is right. ^_^ ang mahal ata. But I really want to learn the correct foot works and strategies. Anyway, I still got a week to convince myself.
It excites me every time I think about the tournament, though sometimes watching them play makes me feel a little bit hesitant to join the match. Anyway, it is actually the camaraderie and the experience that matter most…
Today, I was introduced to Ms. Cecille Hayag, another Kforce employee from other team, who happened to be an instructor in
Oh, I got it now why meeyeow is sleepy! It’s been more than a couple of days I sleep for only 5-6 hours. The IS team building last Saturday, Church day last Sunday, Yesterday I went out early to take care of some documents and Today for the badminton. I’ll try to sleep 10 hours tomorrow.
I dedicate this entry to all the mobile phones I have owned for the last 7 years that gave me opportunities to connect to the mobile world ^_^ This post was inspired by Pipay’s new Motorola camera phone she bought just a week ago.
My very first mobile phone was a Nokia 3310 I bought after college, around Year 2001. I got it through installment, SIM lock to Smart! Sinong ayaw magka-cell phone that time? Wala!!!
Then after a year, my sister gave this Nokia 8210. Though has a sentimental value, with a lot of saved text jokes and precious quotes from my friend, I gave my Nokia 3310 to DaddyDemz with lots transition training and tutorial sessions! Hehehe.
I have to mention here my
After few months, my sister BettyB came back from
Year 2004, my sister’s family went back from
With Mr.V’s sympathy and empathy for me, he gave me his Nokia 7210. Unfortunately this one lost again. Then I got Nokia 3660 that I purchased in SM Bacoor for P20,000.00 Aaminin ko hindi ako masyadong gumagastos sa mga gadgets… nasanay siguro ako na binibigay lang sa akin. Kaya kahit naghihinayang ako that time para bilhin yon, na excite din ako nung nasa kamay ko na ^_^. New cellphone – daming ka text, picture dito, picture doon hehehe.
I still feel ashamed whenever I had to tell the story of my lost cellphone list. My Nokia 3660 is added to this list. I was at SM Bacoor that time shopping at the department store for our summer outing, then when I checked my bag…
This was the most depressing of them all because I was the one who bought it. With this one, I cried… then Mr.V to the rescue, he bought me a new one, the Nokia 3120.
In 2005, when my sister came back again from
Then I went to
