bonding...

it was "one-feel-good sunday" for us! my husband and I woke up early. we heard mass at exactly 7:00 am and we went to the city to have breakfast. Since the weather was so fine, we decided to look for the crib which i have promised to my friend jeanny who just gave birth a week ago. unfortunately, we haven't found the kind of crib that we've been looking for. We decided to drop by at Villa Jesusa, a small resort in a nearby city, but we went there just for sight-seeing and not for swimming (we were not prepared... but we wanted though!). On our way home, we were thinking if we would go back to go swimming... but when we reached home, we felt lazy... opened the television... and to our dismay, it's not the regular program which is supposed to air that time, it's a boxing telecast (good grace! we don't have cable-tv connection yet since the super typhoon Reming!... Since we're not a boxing fanatic (unless it's a filipino fighter), my hubby and I did something else to surpass our boredom! hay! life!!! It's a good thing there were no power interruptions as what we've experienced a few weeks ago!!!

i went inside our room and started my WWW life!!! LOL! i browsed and browsed and browsed until i got tired of it and lost interest... i went out and ernie was strumming his guitar , the usual thing that he does every weekends. i sat beside him and i realized that he bought the song book that he was wanting to buy several weeks ago! hmmm!!! i told him not to buy the song book since it was so expensive and i thought that it's just a waste of money and not so so so practical! but i never expected that it would become one way of having us bond together! imagine... that day, ernie wants me to sing all the songs that i know from that song book while he plays the guitar!!!! at first, i was energetic to sing the songs... (though it was not a pleasant one to hear... good thing there's no violent reactions from our neighbors). hmmm.... maybe my singing voice is not so bad at all! urgh!!!! But as time passed by, my throat became soar and my energy was exhausted.... then i realized... singing career is not an easy one huh! hahahha ! A BIG JOKE!!!! 4 hrs of non-stop "vocalization"!!!! good thing PDA is over! hahaha! but it was such a nice day... one happy bonding moment for the two of us! before dawn, at last our "jamming" session's finished and i was shocked when my husband told me.... ok! tomorrow then...... HUHUHU! not again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thanks marycel!

honesty

Not long ago, I got into a topic with a friend about honesty? or should I say about being frank? Is a little white lie to spare someone’s feelings a good thing? Is honesty really the best policy… It made me curious about my attitude... I can't consider it as being plastic or not being honest to someone.

I took an honesty quiz online…Here is my score and what it said about me…

Your score is 56. You try to tell the truth most of the time but like the rest of us are torn when the truth may hurt someone you love or when it seems to be more destructive than helpful. When faced with having to tell a little white lie, you know the ins and outs but you get lost when it comes to telling a truth that may cause harm or hurt. You’re only human and nobody likes to be the bearer of bad news but in the end you choose to bury the truth far too often.

We all like to think that we are good and honest people but even the best among us can be untruthful at times. We are only human and we all make mistakes, we all tell fibs and we all engage in a little dishonesty from time to time. But there are those among us who take things to far and make a habit out of being a sneak. So where do you fit on the honesty spectrum?


For me, as long as it doesn't affect my life, my relationship with a certain person - it's just fine to stay unaffected unless it's not tolerable already... it's just a matter of being open-minded and sensitive to one's feelings! It's more inappropriate and inconsiderate to just throw comments or opening your mouth without thinking twice or thrice... you'll never know... you are already hurting someone close to your heart. Just think about how you'll feel if it's the other way around...

pregnants and new mom!

it's been a while since my last blog... i've been busy with something else, but now i'm in the mood...again! let me tell you about the 3 women who just received a special gift from our Almighty. my cousin is now pregnant!!! she just got married last May, and now she's carrying an angel in her womb! she told me that it's an unexpected pregnancy... it's much better than an unwanted pregnancy!!! She was just a little tensed and pressured since it's out of their plan... they want to have a baby 2 yrs from now! i actually scolded her... it's not everyday that God showers blessing especially like theirs! i just told her the magic words... "JUST THINK OF ME". You'll never wish to exchange luck with me...

Another friend Sandra is also on the family way! i was really shocked when her husband Edison told us about the news! They just got married last July... and now a few months from now... they will be called... A FAMILY! I am happy for them...she deserves real happiness of a wife and a mom! that's why i really warned her husband Edison to be nice to her ALWAYS!!! She's such a nice friend!

And the best of them all is the new mom Jeanny!!! She gave birth a couple of days ago to a very healthy baby girl! imagine! more than 7 lbs!!! she's really cute! so adorable!! i just wonder how her hair would look like? curly just like her mommy jeanny?? owsss!!! anyways, not to worry!!! hair straightening treatment would always be considered! LOL!

Congratulations to these 3 lucky ladies! You are all blessed!!!
