" People I Hate...People I Love "
My Mind Speaks… Only For Me !
Local Actress;
I love Claudine Baretto, I saw my resemblance in her…HUWATTTT????….Hey guys speak up!..I mean the way she look, her dress, her style, her life, her family, her career. I totally admire her. Shes a pleasant well being.
I hate Marian Rivera, she looks pale. Pretty yes but something is missing.
Local Actor;
” I do not have favorite sorry. I cannot relate myself on this. ”
Local Female Singer:
Nobody but Sitti Navarro. Her voice sounds like a vintage bossa nova. Relaxing to the ears. Very natural. She is truly amazing.
I dislike Rachel Alejandro. I think she is really trying herself hard for people to notice her craft. She sings well but the way she perform, over and too much…
Local Male Singer;
Joey Generoso of Side A Band. This guy deserves a positive impression. When hes singing his repertoire, I cannot differentiate if what I am hearing is just a plain recording or a live performance. Hes an expert modulating and delivering the right tone.
Not a great fan of Bamboo. Their music makes me stress. It creates too much sound to the point that music becomes a noise. Im not rockista that is why….
Local Female Director;
Laurice Guillen, but of course, her movie covers a lot of sense. For me, she is the best. The movie plot, the actors, the whole concept turns into a reality. She looks like a very intelligent woman with strong personality. I vouch for her.
Local Male Director;
Carlos Sigiuon Reyna. Hes truly awesome. Most of his movie touches my soul. It was a feeling of intense while watching. Meaning, the director were able to deliver the message accordingly. A touch of heart blended with a meticulous eye of an expert. Very well execution.
I hate Carlo J. Caparas. Corny and exagerrated. OOOppss, that is only according to me…But I think majority agree…
I will repost and add more love and hate personalities. Its just so happen, I reached my quota for the day (One blog per day only). Im exceeding already. My head is getting heavier. I need to park my brain…

"It's my Treat ,A Family Food Trip..."
The kids on Holiday. No class, no service, nothing much to do except fixing mess.
Mommy and Pappy’s on holiday also. just finished our weekend events.
No meetings, not much inquiries, no worries. Well, its bonding moment for us. After taking our shower, we were heading our way going to White Plains Quezon City.
It is the home of our favorite pandesal. 
” Pan De Amerikana “
That’s me ordering at the counter. All the choices written on menu list looks tempting. The price is not too high. It assures me to relax. Hayyy.. at least my pocket will remain intact. A little bit maybe..
The kids were getting ready to enjoy battling with the food. Washing their hands is one way of preparing. However due to customers traffic and lunch time demand. It took time before serving the food. It comes with a refreshment first. Kids prefer to have fresh fruit shake. I told them not to finish drinking all. The main course is not yet coming. Kids find ways to divert attention. Playing at the phone, chatting, joking and even arguing.
At last, After waiting sooo looong our food arrive, the kids start to grab and munch. We ordered salad, sisig, spaghetti, laing, chicken pandan, pumpkin soup ( This one I truly love ), dinuguan, meat wrapped in banana leaves forgot the name already, garlic rice and a wheat pandesal for take out. Seeing our kids happy and healthy bring us so much fondness. My bill, oh my! its Php 798. Not too cheap to consider. The food was just fine. Nothing too much to crave about. Except the creamy pumpkin soup. The ambiance were great. Unique and refreshing. Totally an experience. My recommendation! Just stick and patronize their Wheat Pandesal and Pumpkin soup if you will dine. Truly the best….
Virtual Discounts, Deals, Vouchers, Group Buying... How True ?
 |
| Sweet Deals |
Everybody loves shopping. .But the problem really is, How long can you tolerate expenses ? Compulsive buying consider as stress reliever. Most of us who belongs to adulthood stage cannot deny it. The question, ” What will happens next ? “.. The main priorities was neglected. It was a complete mediocre ! “What will I do ?, Now my stress were doubled. “
As a mother, personally I prefer good value. Quality and price needs to be a package. However, most of quality / branded products corresponds a higher price. We were able to orient our kids about this. We always have to work on a budget. If they think the product is expensive, they will not force us to buy it. Very good children… We love you All!
My Prayers has been answered. Depriving ourselves to avail expensive products is our practice. Unless it is important of course. But now after seeing massive advertisement of coupons, group deals etc. etc makes me excited.
A week before Valentines Day, I asked my husband, where will he treat me? ( It is a yearly routine. He needs to put me on a date or else…) He replied, ” where do you want ?’…Always the same answer for 11 years…hoo-hurmm!. I searched the internet and saw this dinner party happens in Eastwood. Paying for only Php 200 entitles the couple to a free Dinner dance party entrance with 2 drinks stub .There will be games, raffles etc. I told hubby to buy it online. At first we were hessitant. Not sure if the promo is real. Ticket price cost Php 600 but buying it online only cost us Php 200. Amazing isnt it ?
February 14, 2011. We attended Brotherhoods meeting at Rotary. Right after, we proceed to Eastwood. It was hassle free registration. We were ushered going in, avail our drinks at the bar. We enjoy playing longest kiss game however we were not lucky that night. We did not win nor receive anything. He-he. At least we enjoy !
Right now, we are holding plenty of print outs serve as voucher to different group buying sites. Most of deals we purchased consist of Restos, donuts and cupcakes… yummy… Goodluck in our diet… Try it and you will love it !

" A Mystery Called... Love "
” We are compatible in every way “… Are you Sure?
“He brings out the best in me “…….And So ?
” I cannot live without him ” …. Why is he holding your breath?
" He completes Me ” …. Are you a Puzzle or What ?
Well before, hearing all those words makes me sick. For me It is all bloopers and full of never ending promises. Dreaming of a happy ending story is too far from reality. ” And they live happily ever after ” can only be happen in books and movies.Of course I am not sour graping ..Most of men do anything and everything to please a lady. Somehow as time progresses, Men changed and the woman behind them will be the least of their priority. That is totally absurd !!.. I believe of what I feel and what I see. It is hard to justify a fact without a proof. That is why, I keep on telling myself to hold on of what I believe.
Everything change when I met this wonderful man named ” Arcturus”.
It was a whirlwind affair. Him as my phone pal without any idea how he looks like. We were phone line friends for five years.
After 5 years finally we decided to meet at last !!! The location was at Tia Maria in Greenbelt.
Upon entering, I saw this thin guy, not so cute sitting down in front of the bar. Well I guess he is the one. He said “Hi are you Che? ” a simple nod confirming my name. It was plain getting to know each other moment, typical conversation after we called it a night.
Our Phoneline friendship continous, another 3 years passed and we saw each other again. Still no attraction.
Being a friend to him even tru phone, We were able to share each other secrets. In times of sorrows, we gave advices. We do not hesitate to tell each others fault and try to work things up with our partner. That time we are into different relationship.
It was a clash. The communication stop.. He was able to work abroad as seaman. I graduated and earned my college degree finding the right career for me. Few months passed until one day I received an overseas call from him inviting me together with his family to visit him in Bataan. Their ship was bound to discharge oil. It was a mix feeling of surprise and confusion. I did not say no but I did not say yes also. 3 days before the invitation, weather is terrible. Super typhoon hits luzon and huge damaged were not in control. I prayed, ask for his enlightment. Asking him to please give me a clear sign if I will go or not. I believe travel via sea will not be ideal because all the departures were being cancel . There was no easy other way to go there except via sea.
Waking up the following day fancied my eyes. It was a sunny beautiful morning. Everything was bright and clear. I prayed again, asking God if this is his way of telling me to go. I asked again another sign. Seeing anything white that is unussual part of the house. Then I went downstairs. Well everything look so familiar. It is our house anyway.. but wait., there is something being left at the door. I checked it and obviously it was a PLDT phone bill. What a great way to start a day..suddenly I realized, hey ! the bill was inside white envelope. Without hesitation, I proceed.
It was a beautiful memory. knowing his family, fellow crew makes me happy. He told me to wait for him. His contract will take 6 more months to finish. Assuring me of something which I do not believe. 2 months after… An advice that their ship will be scrap and all crews temporarily needs to take a vacation.
It was unexpected. Within a blink of an eye, I was overwhelmed, tearfully walking down the isle with my mom and brother. At the end of it, there is this man waiting for me. Showing to everyone how much he love me. I believe God was with us. The ceremony was very sacred and everybody reflects happiness and support.. It was a dream come true…
11 years passed. Still I am sleeping beside the man of my dreams… ” Arcturus” I am so happy to be your wife…
I Love you so Dearly……

" Our Dream Home Becomes only a Dream..."
It was a gloomy day for us. Sometimes no matter how you plan your dreams, prepared for it over years and exerted so much effort to turn everything to its proper place. It will never be if it is not really meant to be yours. No matter how much pain and sadness but the reality knocks and acceptance is a must….
We thought finally we found our home. A place where we will grow old together. A retirement sanctuary after being tired and fulfilled with all the obligations being parents and responsible citizen. Simply a place we called “Home”…
After all the inquiries, browsing the net, reading real estate ads and talking to different agents accidentally on our way going up to Antipolo, we were supposed to have a meeting to a property agent very far away from the city, I saw this humble near to senior age couple. They were sitting down into an old kubo along the highway. tarpaulins were posted in front of them. I told Arcturus to stop the car and inquire. We told them that our budget particularly monthly amortization for house and lot will be up to maximum of 12-14k only.
The couple accompany us to this not so big property within Antipolo City. Very near to everything. We were familiar with the place since I am doing several hosting at Loreland farm resort. It was really pleasant. We never thought that the property cost will only range 1.3 up. It is a single detach property with 2 bedrooms, kitchen, living room, pocket Garden and a garage provision. Perfect for us since we were living on a condominium. Enough space and a place to walk around deprive from us. We fell in love with the place and not to mention few slots left because it is fast selling and the rate is very reasonable. never to mention the area is convenient going anywhere.
We decided to reserve our slot right away. After a week we settle for our complete down payment . We were able to receive all the documents such as contract, official receipt authenticated and sealed, house rule copy etc. etc.. We were able to submit also our business permit and other pertinent papers for the developer to forward all those to their accredited banks. We were supposed to pay the remaining balance tru bank financing loan at 14k+ monthly, just fit enough to our monthly budget.
Our children were so excited. Specially when we visited the place last November 2010. The sun is rising but the weather is so relaxing, cool,breezy and free from so much crowd and pollution. It was so ideal to the point that we wanted to transfer right away but of course the construction of our dear home is ongoing that time. December 2010, We work very hard saving for our dream house improvement. Tiles, kitchen extension and perimeter fencing is not included. Work, work, work to the point that my weight went down from 129 to 101lbs. Same with my husband but not too much reduction on him though.
We kept on following up about our bank loan update but no answer has been given. After a week. Developer called and told us that PS bank didnt approve our loan but they will ask for a second review. After the advice, we receive the permit to occupy the place since we paid for the dues, water meter, insurance fire and health. That is why we decided to prioritize the tiles first. Maverick has seasonal asthma and dust is a no-no to him. It was a full effort choosing the right tiles with appropriate boarders, colors and design. We were able to penetrate depots and we arrive buying some at Wilcon builder, Mariwasa tiles for 2nd floor hallway and stairs. Italian tiles for our living room, Federal for Boarders, Eurotiles for grout and adhesives etc… At the end of the day. We were tired and exhausted. Manning of our good men doing the labor. providing them enough food was a pleasant experience.
January 2011, BPI also declined our loan application. The reason ” Insufficient mode of Income”. We advise the developer if they also submit our credentials at Union bank which we were more confident because based on our record of our current car loan. The payment is consistent and it is actually a good vouch for them to approve us but to our dismay. The application is pending and there is no guarantee of possible result. Credit investigator has an organization and if we were disapprove other bank will be advised. In short, they have transparent access to all loan applicants. Pirating if ever is the name of the game. The developer already charge us 23,085 as first month in house financing instead of falling it as bank financing. There will be no other choice but to continue paying the property as in house financing for 10 years.
It was a stiff decision. I cannot stop my tears falling down. It really makes me sad. too much pain. I am only talking to my husband and we are holding each other strength to let this circumstances surpass. It was all of good reason why we wanted to have this home. How come people judge us of our capacity? We work very hard and make sure our obligation will be prioritize before anything. But of course It was their decision and we cannot do anything about it. We just think and telling ourselves that if its really for us, its for us but if not lets just be thankful. Maybe God has some other plans for us.
We rest our case. We decided to sell the property instead of trying which we believe we are not capable of. Better to let it go and maybe there will be a right place for us soon. Selling it for at least we can get back all our expenses and move on. We just hope, Right person with a heart of loving it will be given the privilege to own it. It was a dream home and I think it will be hard nowadays to find a nice place like that.
To all our readers. Thank you so much for taking your time to read this long note. Somehow I was able to share my thoughts at least for the information of everyone… God bless
The youngest among the member of our family.... We called him " Chino"
Yes dearie, Chino is his name. He is a toy breed chihuahua. We acquired chino last November 2010.
Eversince I was a kid, my affection to animals is priceless. I love having cat more because they have this sense of being independent without taking too much of my time. However the last time I tried to bring back my youthfull fondness. Getting stray cat and giving her a home was a huge feeling of happiness for me. Being a mother at the same time to my 3 children means chaos. My son has a seasonal asthma and everytime he inhaled dust, pollen, feathers etc. etc. trigger his asthma. He suffered consistent attacks for 3 months and I feel so worried about it. The pediatrician adviced the cat has to go. I do not have any choice. The feeling of leaving my cat to a place nowhere realy broke my heart. But at least my son recovered. After how many years of not having a pal, I feel that maybe its about time to have another one again. This time cat is not on my list. I am thinking that my choice should be a tiny creature, not big because we are living on a condo unit, do not shed too much to avoid my son asthma, A guard dog as well who will bark if there is something unusual, Kids friendly companion and pooo poo should not be too gross to see.
Voila !!! chihuahua is the right choice..
Chino makes everyone in the family happy. He is too loyal. According to some information I gathered from reading different articles, chihuahua choose one or two master among the family. They will show extreme loyalty to the point that they will not eat if the master did not. They will remain beside the master while sleeping and will not stand up unless master wake up already. Even going inside comfort room while master doing “call of nature” they will just sit down and wait for the master to finish. In short, chihuahua is truly a “little wonder”. I strongly recommend having them as pet for those people who constantly seeking a loyal companion. Chihuahua display a very warm affection to their master but not with a stranger. They have this instinct that they need to protect their master come what may.They cannot be easilly taken away.
My wish for Chino is may he bless of many years living with us. Always in a pink of health and have a numerous “Paquito” very soon…..
"What if I will Host my own TV Program?..."
Talking face to face
with different celebrities and reporters makes me realize that I am truly blessed and gifted.
It was a pleasant feeling seeing your face, million of people watching and listening of what you are saying.
Sometimes I wonder, what if I will be given a chance to choose the right TV program for me ( Hey dude, Its free to dream right? just wake me up if you think I am haluscinating already ). Personally, I prefer to host a travel show…A travel show with a twist. he-he… Instead of highlighting tourist destination, I will focus more of the unique aspect of the place. Like for example, Cebu City. I will not go to Magellans cross, featuring Sinulog Festival, Taoist Temple etc.etc.. but instead I will feature the less or maybe unnoticed places in Cebu like Barbeque Market beside Government Hospital selling inihaw na isaw, bituka,dugo, atay and balunbalunan. Yummy and filling.
I will also insert the number coding of their jeeps. If you are first time traveller, definitely you will easilly get lost because jeep has this number coding. I will tell you it is very confusing. Most of bisaya residents do not speak well in tagalog. A big goodluck if you will be the lucky guy searching for the right signboard.
Another thing that fancied me is that Cebu people do not use fork and knife. When you dine out, most establishment, they will just provide plastic. Yes PLASTIC. we called it “plastic labo” in tagalog. You have to wrap it in your hands and enjoy the food. No wonder time will come. Cebu will be consider as “the most plastic place” in the world. I mean literally….. Peace !!!!
