WS: HK Tickets

PROJECT 365: HK Tickets
Went at Cebu Pacific Office in Robinson's Galleria on Sunday with my niece to purchase tickets for our Hongkong Trip this December 21- 24. I was hoping that I'll get the promo MNL- HK price of only P1,299 (excluding tax) but unfortunately it was fully booked already.

They said that only 9 tickets/flight are given. Anyway, i opted for the regular price which is way too expensive. I bought 7 adult tickets and 1 child ticket tickets courtesy of my 2 sisters (I paid mine wahhhh.. Cebu P. is also offering a lower price compared to other airlines and I hope there'll be no hassle.

We are just excited for our trip bec. we'll be meeting my other sisters and their family coming from Saudi and Australia in HK. And also our very first time to go to HK DISNEYLAND !! and of course it's a place for shopping galore wahooo..!!

My Dad's Birthday

PROJECT 365: Pancit
March-26 (Thursday)--Day-85
It's my dad's BIRTHDAY last Thursday and if only he was alive then he'd be 75 already. We had a small family celebration. I dreamt of my dad last night and I was talking to him but I didn't see his face. I woke up right after that and I uttered " Happy Birthday, Dad". I hope he is happy wherever he is.

My SIL cooked this yummy pancit paired with bread and we also had Halo- halo for dessert. We all got stuffed!!

My bro woke me up early this morning and asked me to put make up on my 5 yr. old niece Reign bec. it's her graduation day. She graduated from KINDER 1, next school yr. she's PREP already. This means that school year is over for her now.

She was very cooperative and even giggled when I am putting the eyeshadow , she said she was tickled and told me that the eyebrush (ELF) is soft. I used the eyeshadow that Yen gave to me and a local eyshadow. Lipstick is a mixture of maybelline and avon plus i put ELF's pumping lip glaze.

Anthony Bourdain , NO RESERVATIONS in the PHILIPPINES

I only knew about Anthony Bourdain when I was in Australia for a vacation last year. When I have nothing to do, I always watch FOXTEL and there is when I watched the shows of Anthony Bourdain. He loves traveling and eating and that brought him to many key cities in the world.

I was browsing YOUTUBE earlier and found this new video where he went here. There are many clips on youtube about his experience here and I think I'll be watching them all later. He went to Manila, Pampanga and Cebu to taste all our wide array of Pinoy foods.

Here's
Anthony Bourdain, NO RESERVATIONS in the PHILIPPINES Part 1. Don't forget to view pts. 2-5 at you tube as well.

Self Portrait

PROJECT 365: Self- Portrait
Reign (my niece) saw me taking photos for my photo a day so she borrowed her mom's camera and little did I know she was also taking photos of what I am taking.. hehe. I didn't teased her for doing that bec. I know she'll stop or she'll become shy.

Later on i found her taking photos of herself so my attention was put to her. Kids these days are very clever in using gadgets and gosh i guess in no time she'll be using DSLR already. She had fun taking photos of anything, she even took photos of me and my butt.. LOL.. She end up being my photo a day.
Having fun

Sick Again

PROJECT 365: Sick Again
My poor 11 yr. old nephew, Dither was sick since Sunday. He's been vomitting has fever and complained of headache. SIL and my bro brought them to his doctor and gave her some medicines for his tonsilitis. Today (tues.) he was not able to go school bec. he is sick again, he has no fever but still got a headache. Poor kid..

FIY, he doesn;t like to eat veggies or any meat while eating rice.. very picky! he can only eat rice with soup (SABAW lang talaga!!!) either tinola, nilaga or sinigang.. Dunno what's wrong with him really, if we force him to eat rice with meat or anything he'll throw it up..

Last year, he got sick of Dengue and has 50/50 chance of survival but thank God he survived it.Pls. say a prayer for his recovery this time. Thanks

Meet Snoopy!

PROJECT 365: Meet Snoopy
A family friend came yesterday with her dog SNOOPY. We didn't have a pet dog so we are all eager to pat HER. Yep, she's a girl and I thought that her name doesn't fit her..lol She was actually afraid when she saw us, her knees are trembling, probably bec. we are new to her sight.

She looks adorable and sweet and wish we have a dog pet too. She was a bit shy, I found her just sitting in one of the small area rugs in our gazebo when I took photo of her.

After 25 Long Years....

I was a bit shocked and so happy yesterday afternoon bec. around 4 pm there was a lady coming inside my store. I looked at her and immediately recognized her face and the 1st thing that I blurted out loud was her name!!!

It was Lourdes, my friend and one of my buddy buddy way back in 4th yr. highschool. Although we have sent text several times, it is our 1st time that we saw each other after 25 long years and it is really good to see her!! After that never ending stories where exchanged among us, just imagine the endless chit chat that we have.

I showed her photos and encouraged her to attend meetings or gatherings of our highschool batch bec. I told her she should not miss the fun! We were like highschool while we are talking bec. we also reminisce our crushes lol! I am just too stupid not to take photos of us together bec. it slipped my mind.. gosh.

Baby No More

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
Got this photo from my Sis JoyD's flickr account. Bianca has grown so fast that these days her said she is into Barbie dolls and other girly girly play already. She also turned 4 last Feb 21 (Happy Birthday sweet Bianca!) and there's no doubt that is no longer any baby anymore. In fact, my sis removed the baby bedding and her cot last year that she is sleeping in her bigger bed now.

I remember when she was born I was there in Sydney so I saw her in her few days after being born. She is a very sweet and she sleeps most of the times w/o any hassle and now that she has grown already her mom told me that there are times she doesn't want to get a nap in the afternoon..lol

PC Clean Up

PROJ. 365: Computer Clean Up
It's Clean Up day for me last Friday. Every now and then I try to "clean" the computers for rent here at my net cafe. I usually delete files and even programs that customers installed ( i don't allow it but they sneak sometimes) . I also update antivirus, check for malwares etc. but most of the times they still ends up being infected.

I also checked for not working headsets or wires etc. Some customers just don't care, some try to change settings, make vandalism etc. it's hard to look after what they are doing. There is also instances that I ask customers to stop opening porno sites bec. it's a public place and my lil nephews and nieces are just near buy. I also tried to REFORMAT one of the pc, bec. it is soooo slow eventhough it is virus free, I did it successfully but failed to reconnect it to the network. That gives me a headache so I sent it to a technician friend.
