Etcetera

It’s been days now since I’ve posted some personal rants here, uhmmm..I was a little busy and lately, I’ve been going to the gym to get some work out. I don’t want to get sick because of the weather that’s why I need to keep me healthy. Guess what, I’ll be 27 tomorrow and whew..time flies really fast..parang kelan lang..

This is not my first time to celebrate my bday without my family (parents and bro) and I’m used to it. Yeah I miss them during this time..na-mi-miss ko ang kakulitan though at the same time, I’m happy..cause I’m going to celebrate it with my hubby. First time na mag-ce-celebrate ako ng bday na magkasama kami. Sabi ko I don’t want any party or something like that, kasi kakapagod din after ng handaan. I asked him na kain na lang kami sa labas bukas, umuo naman siya.

I know all of my close friends na nasa pinas nakaalala sa araw na to and kahit malayo ako, thanks sa pag-alala. Just remember that even if I’m far, I hold you close to my heart. Thanks din sa bestfriend ko na si Anne, salamat for featuring me in your blog sis..touch ako.

Salamat po sa mga nadaan and day off ko bukas ha..hehe, in-case na hanapin nyo ko .

I’m so tired today. I went to the base with hubby around 7am, he has another christmas party and a going away party for Mia. I had an hour of work out then after that I went to my husband’s office as we need to cook lumpia. They love lumpia here so that was the one that I and hubby prepared. The party started at 10am and it ended around 1pm.

I went to bx (Airbase mall) along with Handan and Ofelia and their kids. We went shopping for a little bit. Bx is having a 75% off on some of their products. Handan surprised me by buying a basket of beautiful flowers. I didn’t know that she’ll give it to me, after she paid for it..she handed it to me and said ‘this is for you’. Ahh that was so sweet of her. Thanks Handan. By the way, we bought this coasters, it as on sale for 75% off. So instead of paying $15, we only paid $3.50. Nice huh?

Later on we went to the town and did more shopping. We roamed around and Handan and Ofelia were helping me find and choose gifts for my hubby. They’re really so helpful especially Handan. I’ll go back to the store in the next few days to buy those. I saw signature purses and bags and its on sale for half the price. Hmmm, I’ll buy me one too. By the way, I bought me fur coats and jackets.

After shopping we then went to the coffee shop in hastings to warm up. After awhile, Handan drop me off here in my house. I am tired right now but it was fun. I love hanging out with Handan and Ofelia. We may have been a mixed culture (Handan is from Turkey, Ofelia is from Guatemala and I’m from Philippines) but we blended well. They are so nice and thanks to them for being my friends.

We don’t have sun today and when we got up around 8am, the wind breeze is cold. I remember, hubby was telling me that there is a posibility that we will have snow today. Hmmm, I’m excited. That would be my first time to see the real snow.float right side =

So hubby and Steph picked up our Thanksgiving meal in the base and I stayed at home to finish preparing our table. When they got back, all we did was to warm the food and after an hour and a half, we had our meal. Of course, we took pictures too (I’ll share it later).

The whole meal we ordered came with an apple pie and I’m telling you, the apple pie is SO GOOD. We enjoyed eating our food and became sleepy after we’re full. We did not took any nap though, we’re here in our living room watching NFL. It’s Green Bay Packers vs. Detroit Lions. I and hubby both like GB so were cheering for them. Later today, college football is on. It’s my USC (University of California) vs. Arizona State. This would be a good game.

By the way, my husband says our table setting looks beautiful . I owe that to my mom in Davao , I got my design instincts from her. Thanks Mom Feym. And hey, I have my first snow today. We tried walking earlier in our block but we weren’t able to walk more further because it was too cold (imagine we’re wearing fur jackets and pants but still I was shaking). And after we eat and sat here in the living room, Steph saw the first fall of the snow. Ahhhh, it was awesome, so beautiful.

It’s really amazing. Right now, the snow stopped and I can see the mountains now (awhile ago I can’t, it was covered with falling snow). That’s a nice glimpse of the snow in my first Thanksgiving .

Happy Birthday Nanay!!

It’s your 50th birthday today and I thank the Lord for giving me a nanay like you. You are such a great mother who is so loving and caring of her family. I appreciate everything you did for us (me and bro). I know you are a little sad that I’m not there to celebrate it with you but you know I love you so much and even if I’m far, I’m always thinking of you. I may not say I love you as often as you did but you know that I really do.

More birthdays to come ‘nay and I know how excited to see your grandkids from me, I promise you’ll see them soon (after 2 or 3 years..hehe). I love you and I want you live for another 50 years. I’ll take care of you when you get really older (don’t worry).

Enjoy your day. I LOVE YOU.

Love much,

Ging-ging (my ding dong pet name)

Son,

***footnote
My nanay is the most understanding person in the whole world. No matter how ‘maldita’ am I, she still loves me and she still says I’m the nicest, prettiest daughter (haha). It’s really true that the love of our mother (or parents, my dad too) is unconditional. I could never forget how I once stumble, made a bad decision but then instead of blaming me, she held me on her shoulders and lift me up. She did not let me go on my own until she felt that her daughter is strong again (remembering all her goodness always made me cry). She’s a supermom too. Taking care of me and bro while working double time to earn an income for the family. She’s the best nanay.

You know, if there would be a next life..I would want to request God as early as now that they will still be my parents on that next life. We may not be rich but my parents taught me (and bro) good values and brought us up with full of life and love. Thanks nanay and tatay

Happy birthday *hugs* and *kisses* Maam Feym. From all the way here in Alamogordo, Carlo and I are wishing you a happy happy birthday. More birthdays to come and more prosperity in the business .

I love you. Happy birthday Mom! Read the rest of this entry »
