we had to comfort ourselves after a bad movie

we watched ouija in blue wave marquinton. we decided to watch this movie because 

a) i have slowly but surely turned into a juday fan (hehehe… ever since watching KKK, i loved her!)

b) i also love iza calzado( she’s great in this movie, the only saving grace for me)  and

c) it’s a scary movie. (hubby and i just love scary movies!)

too bad the movie is such a disappointment!  sure the cinematograpy was ok, camiguin is beautiful… the musical score was so-so. the  most disappointing part of this movie is the fact that almost every scary part has been shown in other movies i’ve seen before. i already know when the ghost will appear and where they will appear. the crawling on walls, “the sadako walk”,  “emily rose pose”, the hiding under the blanket… almost everything! the music, which is supposed to help build up the suspense didn’t help at all. i wasn’t scared even a little bit…. blah blah blah… in other words.. for us, it wasn’t worth watching.

this was how we looked like when we got out of the movie house:

when we got out we were so disappointed with our movie, we had to comfort ourselves… so we went to timezone hehehe. we went in those videoke booths and let out all our pent up anger, and sang ala-piolo, sam, savage garden, britney, madonna, lea etc  as in mayanig-yanig ang booth! hehehe.

           

 

then by the time we were  done with our mini concer, we have already worked up an appetite and ate at hotshots…i ordered the kamikaze burger. 1/4lb patty with cheese and wasabi spread. hot and yummy! hunny had a burger deluxe plus a junior burger (medyo nabitin!)

     

 

well ok, the only good thing we got out of watching ouija is that it allowed hubby and me to spend a fun saturday night bonding and having quality time together… a very much appreciated break for the both of us!

ps: hubby read somewhere that ouija will have a sequel… uh,puh-leeez!

hubby is trying really hard

i just want to ackowledge my hubby for trying really hard to keep his cool whenever he is feeding bea. i know he is just concerned for bea’s well being that it results to his being quick tempered. typical male characteristic i guess, because i also remember my father being this way. recently though, in the face of bea’s most-difficult-to-feed days, i can see his effort to remain calm and patient. a grace from God. ;)

thanks hon, for really trying. 

hubby is sick… huhuhu…(singot! ubo!)

last monday, hubby was feeling a bit under the weather, but he’s not someone who’ll allow the sniffles get the better of him, so he went on working as usual… tuesday, he got up later than usual. i thought he wasn’t getting up to prepare for  work at all. he has muscle pains and a bad headache. still he went on his usual morning routine, driving our van. after lunch we went to the hospital for bea’s checkup. that night, he felt so bad that i told him to just stay home and rest for the night. he did. but a good night’s rest is still not enough. wednesday came, buti na lang coding… he got to rest a bit, but he still made kalikot “hapi”, our van. he also attended the prayer meeting with me, but he was already running a slight fever. he took paracetamol that night and some rest. earlier today, he woke up with a runny nose and a heavy feeling on his back, made it difficult for him to breathe. so after his last trip this morning, he visited the philam clinic in makati. the doc checked him up (normal bp at last! yahoo!) checked his blood to rule out dengue, good thing the test turned out negative (thank God), it was just flu or trangkaso. he was given antibiotics, and meds for his cough and flu. the antibiotics were so expensive! (at P93 a tablet 2x a day!) hubby decided to just buy the meds for the flu and cough and not the antibiotics. he is still a bit sick but no more fever. i hope he gets well soon, he’s not his usual sunny self when he’s down with something, but then again, who is? plus there is a chance that bea might catch a cold too by being too exposed to germs…

Get well soon hunny! good boy na, wag na kulit…

celebrity sighting!

while we were strolling in megamall last sat, we spotted these two celebs sharing a venti banana java chip frap. they looked awfully familiar…. hmmm… what do you think?!

for you my love

                          

i was inspired to create this layout after thinking about the 6 years that has gone by…    

Celebrating, Manila Style

As I’ve posted previously, we just celebrated our 6^th year anniv as husband and wife last Friday (it was also a Friday when we exchanged I do’s last 2001) we were planning to go on a swimming trip, just the two of us. Hubby was already planning and scouting the prospective resorts we could go to, but of course work had to interfere (hehehe) i decided to just go on leave for half a day. Hubby fetched me from work, gave me the flowers and his other gift and we went straight to MOA. We ate lunch then ikot lang.  i was trying to look for board shorts for Saturday’s family outing… but the good once are all sold out. We tried to watch a movie but all the cinemas except one were were showing spiderman 3…and we already watched that last Wednesday. ( the other one was showing “ang cute ng ina mo” ) so no movie for us today.

At around 4pm we decided to go toFort
Santiago, the place where Rizal was kept prisoner before his execution in Luneta. Why here? We have always been interested in historical tours. The corregidor tour amazed us incredibly. We are now even trying to book us a tour with old manila walks. It’s just nice to go on an adventure where you don’t just go for sight seeing and picture taking, you also get to learn stuff and appreciate your culture in the process. Plus, well being a Mapua student, hubby used to bring me here when we were still bf/gf, we even celebrated one of our annivs here, syempre picture taking galore din even then. I remember, we had this really nice picture on the intramuros wall,but both of us were feigning a smile but ended up with a “simang look”…because before the pic was taken, we were arguing about the camera’s positioning. I was afraid that it would fall into the river as he rushes over to my side after pressing the camera’s self timer. I bugged him about it and I pissed him off. Hence the “simang look” hehehe…

We toured the museum, there was a group of foreigners with a tour guide and we tried to follow them, listening to the guide’s trivia and explanations, until he started looking at us. Buking! Hehehe. When we went outside we saw a “katipunero” having a hard time folding the Philippine flag during flag down. Being a C.A.T. officer in highschool hubby knew that the flag should never touch the ground, in reverence to our motherland. (officer din ako noon, pero di ko alam yon!) and here was this man trying to fold the flag with its edges all over the floor. Of course to the rescue  and hubby ko! Here are some pics. Notice ka-kulay pa nya ng uniform ang mga katipuneros (lol!)

  

We left na soon after, we were tired, hungry and dehydrated. B decided to conclude our day with a authentic manila experience, eating at the estero at ongpin. Grabe lang talaga ang traffic! We wanted to visit the old church there but there was no parking area. Hay. When we got to estero, it was a bit crowded. It was a little street beside the creek with food stalls offering fresh seafood on their trays. You can request how you want you food to be cooked, whether stuffed, fried, steamed etc.. Dampa style eating with a distinct Chinese taste.  We decided to stay in the upstairs aircon room. We ordered 2 pc stuffed squid, beef with broccoli, calamares, hototay soup, 2 rice and 2 cokes. Everything looked yummy and the preparations didn’t really take along time. Plus cheap too. Everything cost us a little more than P300.  Haay, sira na naman ang diet, what diet?! Mwhehehe.

 

                                   

After dinner, super busog na! we went driving around and were able to take these pics of manila by night.

 

                                 

 

Hay, on our way home, kahit super sleepy na, we had to pass by a grocery store and buy our supplies for the family outing the next day. And when we did get home I had to cook some spaghetti.

Busy, happy, fun, fulfilling day.
