My Aunt (the one who’s house had been flooded) had finally move to their new house. Yesterday she toured me around and I saw a lot of I”m-superb-envy-that-is-so-pretty kind of stuffs. Her bathroom is super duper cool! It’s sooo comfy you wanna live in there. I also saw a water softeners to which I’m like “Whoa! What is that???”. My Aunt explained that it’s a device that removes calcium and magnesium from water and will leave hair and skin feeling smoother and less dry. My eyes definitely became green yesterday! Oooh I’m green with envy, wish I have a bathroom like hers!

Aside from getting so envious,I’m also happy that they (Aunt’s family) had already move to their new house. They had been traumatized and stressed out due to the flood/typhoon. Moving to that new house and a more peaceful place will surely make them forget of that tragic thing.

I am an addict! My gosh, I’m an addict with FB games! I can’t stop playing which is really bad because it’s eating a lot of my time! Lately, I’m also becoming lazy and all I can think about is how to level up or how to get more coins… Hay, need to wake up and comeback to reality. I need also to remember that laziness or spending so much time playing will not do me any good! And speaking of coins, I think I need a lot of that in reality especially now that Christmas is just around the corner.

Will somebody please shout “Earth to Phoebe!!! Wake up and do your job!” Stop playing FB games and be productive!”

Holiday Party Invitation

Holiday Invitations make you feel the Christmas spirit more than the lights and decors you see everywhere. That’s because this one has the personal feel to it. Yes, there are people celebrating it and you are invited to be a part of the celebrations!

Greta will be throwing a holiday party on the second week of December. It is a last minute decision and all because she’s getting married early next year. She wants a holiday party for the last time that she’s single. Right now, she’s busy looking for holiday party invitations that she needs to send out right away.

I told her she can get the holiday invites at http://www.holiday-invitations.com, a web site offering unique and exclusive designs of invitations holiday cards. They can modify any design on the site as well as the color as requested. Get the minimum order they need and they will throw in free thank you cards. They also offer free shipping. Good deals, don’t you think? I am sure Greta will find Holiday-Invitations to her liking. And did I mention they offer same day printing and shipping? ;)

I have a poor eyesight and sometimes it bothers me. Sadly, having a poor eyesight runs in our family that’s why my Ate and I are saving money for lasik surgery in the future.

My tita (aunt) who’s based in Mexico is thinking of undergoing a lasik surgery because she cannot work well due to her eye condition. She’s looking for something that’s within her budget and find the lasik surgery Mexico in the web. I hope it will be a successful surgery so she could have her 20/20 vision again. Goodluck tita!

Next week I’m going to attend two weddings. One for my sister’s friend and the other one for my friend/colleague. I I just bought a nice outfit for these weddings. Honestly, I’m not that successful in dieting so I’m still on the chubby side.

Yesterday I saw my friend who’s part of the wedding entourage trying her gown and she’s lookin’ good! I envy her because before she’s also a plus size like me, but now, she looks sexy and pretty! I asked her what’s the big secret and she talled me about Fastin and how it works magic for her. She’s really looking good and I think after I Google about it, I’m gonna try one.

Last Saturday, my bestfriend and I went to the mall and she’s looking for an anniversary gift for her fiance but she couldn’t find anything that she like. We just shop for ourselves instead!

Carlo, my bestfriend’s fiance, is into cars so I gave her ideas to buy something for his car. When we arrived at her place, we searched the web for auto accessories and find the perfect gift that he will surely love. We’re sooo amaze at how stylish those auto accessories are. If only I have a car I’ll definitely buy one and show it off to everybody!

Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time,…
Let us then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.

-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Two weeks from now I’m going to attend two weddings. The first one is to my sister’s friend and the second one is to my colleague. I’m quite nervous thinking about it because I still don’t know what to wear and aside from that I’ve been thinking of cutting my hair and I don’t know if I’m gonna do it or not.

Earlier I cut my hair and now I have fringe or bangs. I think I look a bit more edgy when I cut my hair. Actually I’m loving it, right now. Hay, I really want to have a haircut but my major dilemma is if I cut it, how I’m gonna style it when I attend the wedding. Hmph! I know, I sound a bit crazy but most of the ladies knew how I feel.. To cut or not to cut, now that’s my biggest question. LOL

My friend’s cousin Liza is so lucky. She recently graduated from College and because she’s a Cum Laude, her parents gave her trip a to Florida. Oooh, I’m so green with envy! Lucky girl!

Well, I think she deserves it. Liza’s always been a good / obedient daughter and she never gave her parents a major headache. My friend and I while chatting and gushing at how lucky her cousin is, we also searched florida vacations on the web. We’re kind of torturing ourselves with “what if’s” then we just laughed it off. We also talked about the places that we wanted to see or travel. Seriously we are happy for Liza and proud of her. Have a safe trip, Liza!

Months ago our Faculty Room had been renovated. Now, we teachers are so please to hear that we also have new gadgets and furnitures. It’s kinda big deal that we have new stuffs to use because it’s about time that we have a new one. I mean it’s been ages that were using those old thingy and we really are in dire need to have an upgraded versions or new things.

Luckily our school Admin realizes the need for new stuffs so they bought new office furnitures, filing cabinets, school supplies and most especially the industrial computer. We are excited and so happy that we have a new Faculty Room. I can’t wait to sit on my place again and I’m pretty sure that those new stuffs will motivate us to do our job well!

My sister bought this book and I’ve been reading it for a while now. I’m the first one to read it, and I can’t spill whether I like it or not because my sister had threatened me not to say a word about the book until she had read it, too. Sorry folks my mouth is shut but here’s what I’ve read about Audrey Niffenegger, author of the book and also I’ll share with  you some parts of the story..

The Time Traveler’s Wife, published in 2003, is the debut novel of American author Audrey Niffenegger. It is a love story about a man with a genetic disorder that causes him to time travel unpredictably, and about his wife, an artist, who has to cope with his frequent absences and dangerous experiences. Niffenegger, frustrated in love when she began the work, wrote the story as a metaphor for her failed relationships. The tale’s central relationship came to her suddenly and subsequently supplied the novel’s title. The novel, which has been classified as both science fiction and romance, examines issues of love, loss, and free will. In particular, it uses time travel to explore miscommunication and distance in relationships, while also investigating deeper existential questions.

Henry begins time traveling at the age of five, jumping forward and backward relative to his own timeline. He is unable to control his travels: when he leaves, where he goes, or how long his trip will last. His destinations are tied to his subconscious—he most often travels to places and times related to his own history. Certain stimuli such as stress can trigger Henry’s time traveling; he often goes jogging to keep calm and remain in the present. He also searches out pharmaceuticals in the future that may be able to help control his time traveling. He also seeks the advice of a geneticist, Dr. Kendrick. Henry cannot take anything with him into the future or the past; he always arrives naked and then struggles to find clothing, shelter and food. He amasses a number of survival skills including lock-picking, self defense and pickpocketing. Much of this he learns from older versions of himself. - Wikipedia -

Happy weekend!

My Aunt Marie is living in North Carolina for almost 10 years now. She e-mailed dad earlier – telling him about thinking of retiring here but she’s having second thoughts because Uncle Dondi is sick.

Dad got the chance to talked to her a while ago and asked her about their condition. They’re okay at the moment and they’re planning to renovate their resthouse here in Tagaytay for retirement. She also told dad that Uncle Dondi’s having heart problems and it’s a good thing that they have insurance. I remember talking to my friend and she mentioned about Blue Cross North Carolina so when I talked to Aunt Marie I mentioned it to her. I wish I could physically help them especially Uncle Dondi whom we are so fond of. I wish they would retire here.

She told us that they’ll be coming this Christmas and I’m so happy to hear that. It’s been sooo long since I last saw them and I bet we will have a feast when they come back!

My cousin whom I’m close to, now resides in California. I chatted with her sveral days ago and i found out that she’s going to Germany for a scholarship. Lucky her! I told her I always wanted to go to Germany and I made her promise to send me postcards.

We talked about everything and I learned that she’s been traveling with her boyfriend. We talked about Ron, her boyfriend, then she told about the travel medical insurance that they got and I’m like – huh? I didn’t know that they can get a travel medical insurance that will protect them while traveling outside the United States. Cool, right? I don’t know if we have insurance like that here in the Philippines. Anyway, I told her to travel safe and that she should not forget my trinkets from Germany. LOL! I really miss her.

Christmas time here means lots of parties and lots of delicious foods. I fear that I won’t avoid eating a lot and I can’t, really can’t do that because of the wedding. Oh my, this will surely test my self discipline. LOL!

To surely lose weight fast and not gain extra pounds I’m planning to hit the gym. But my only problem is that I’m always lazy when going to the gym. Hmmm, major dilemma.. Well, my plan B is if I’m too lazy to go to the gym, I’ll just exercise here, at our house. Luckily, I already have some exercise equipments and I’m bugging my sister to buy another one. Later, I will search for treadmills because this is what I’m planning to tell her to buy. Aheheh! I hope I can convince her to buy one.
