Winter Wonderland moment with my colleagues. Late upload cos I just grabbed this from Jack yesterday. Highlight of that night was when we ride the “KILLER RIDE” of our lives. hahaha.. I swear, I could definitely do that again, seriously, but I bet they couldn’t do that anymore. lol :p Happy times, indeed. :)

Finally got my casette tape iPhone 4s case. It is like a real casette tape that whoever sees it won’t notice that it is actually my mobile phone. There are cleverly cut holes for the camera and the flash. Though the Apple logo and some letters of the word iPhone can be seen on the holes, still, it was brilliant. Credits to whoever invented this.
Mama just got back in England yesterday morning. I was so pleased like a happy child when I opened my late christmas pressies from Vegas. Got loads of stuffs from my three lovely Aunts and from my beautiful Granny. I reckon I just fixed my messy wardrobe few days ago and now, this is causing me another stress on where should I put it. lol
Thank you Mommy Loida, Tita Maganda (chos!), Tita Luisa and Nanay! :)
Now, who’s the spoiled brat?
And so after using Blackberry for how many months, I’ve now switched to Apple’s iPhone 4s. Great! I have a new best friend and enemy now, Siri. I am like a crazy bitch talking to her (American) and him (British) all day.
These Apple gadgets are so enticing. Brilliant creations, indeed. Now, I have my Macbook Air, iPod Touch and iPhone 4s, all that is missing is iPad to complete my Apple collection. But not so soon, probably I have to wait till the iPad3 is out in the market. Gadget-holic much?
1. Quit smoking as a vice
Well, I really quit smoking the moment I knew that I was pregnant last year. I haven’t smoke for over a year, until last November, I got depressed and I reckon I just needed my ex-bestfriend back. lol Probably I can still puff on one stick or two, occasionally.
2. Resist being jealous and needy
I just thought I need a little bit of love from myself as well.
3. Never sneak back from the past
After how many years, there’s still this thing that I could not get over with. But now, it has to be stopped, totally!
4. Exercise regularly
Though I have gained my pre-pregnancy weight back, I still have to work out on my little fluffy tummy and tone my biceps just a little bit more. Maybe the Zumba Wii will do.
5. Forgive quickly & spread Love instead
I need to learn to control my emotions especially when I am angry. This year, there’s gotta be less hatred but purely love…
Bring it on 2012!!! I am ready for you!!! :)
That you fall in love with someone who loves you—really loves you. (Or fall even deeper in love if you’re already there.) That you finally, finally fall in love with yourself.
That you breathe and allow yourself to be silly every now and then. That you don’t take everything so seriously. That you don’t forget how to have fun. That you never start thinking you’re too old for it.
That you have adventures, do things you’ve never done before, go places you’ve never been. That you work towards turning at least one of your biggest dreams into reality. That you turn “why?” into “why not?”
That you’re brave enough to make mistakes, and learn from them. That you pick yourself up after every fall, and stand taller, stronger, and wiser for having fallen.
That you learn when to hold on, and when to let go.
That you change someone’s life. Especially if “someone” is you.
That, by the end of this day next year, you have three hundred and sixty-six new stories to tell.
Happy new year, everyone.
A mother’s treasure is her precious daughter. <3
Feeling nostalgic after seeing this photo wherein I can still hold & cuddle my pretty baby Tannia. She was just 2 months old at that time & she was very active, trying so hard to communicate with her Mummy.
Few days to go baby, Mummy’s gonna caress, pamper & make everyday beautiful and happy just for you. We’ll enjoy every moment just like what we used to do. For the mean time, do not give your Daddy so much trouble. I know he spoils you too much, you little brat! :p
You know what babe, you are one of the reasons why Mummy & Daddy keeps holding on and will keep holding on for as long as we’re breathing. Despite all the hardships & struggles that we’re going through, giving up will NEVER be an option because of LOVE and because of YOU. When you grow older, you will realise how lucky you are because you don’t just have parents, but you also have best friends, acquaintances, clowns, playmates, mentors and everything you want & need from a mother & father.
We will raise you beautifully my lovely daughter.
We love you for ever… <3
This year, though I am away with my loved ones, I am still happy and thankful that we were able to celebrate the birth of Jesus in our own little way.
I had “Noche Buena” with my HUSBAND & baby Tannia via Skype (4pm London time of the 24th). We had exchanged lots of love, giggling and fun on the webcam. At that moment, I never felt that they were miles away from me. If I could only literally hug and kiss them, then I will be the happiest! But that’ll do for the time being. :)
Here in England, they don’t celebrate the Christmas Eve or Noche Buena, so obviously everyone is sleeping soundly whilst Father Christmas (Santa Claus) is getting his way inside the chimney to distribute the presents for not-so-naughty kids.
In the morning (25th), I had to go to work until 3pm. When I get back home, we had a lovely christmas dinner, just me, dad & tony. We greet Mama & our relatives in Vegas via Skype as well. We opened the gifts, cards and christmas crackers.
I’ve received pressies & cash from my parents, from tony & from our residents and employer at work. I still have lots of pressies to open from Vegas when Mama comes back in two weeks time (I can’t wait for my Clinique make ups & Victoria’s Secret stuffs).
Simple celebration indeed, yet it was all felt deep in our hearts. I really hope my husband and baby Tannia will be joining us next year.
Happy Birthday Jesus & Happy Christmas everyone!!! <3

First time to celebrate christmas party with my colleagues. Been working there for a couple of months now and I am so loving these Jamaican people. Well, at first I really dont understand when they speak to each other. Man, they speak so fast! I thought it’s not English. But eventually, I’ve learned that it is indeed, English. Broken English or “Patois” (Patwa) to be exact. Let me give you some examples:
- Mi cant bodda with da foolishness (I can’t be bothered with the foolishness)
- Mi a go bak a wuk pan Chewsday (I am going to work on Tuesday)
- Chobble nuh nice. Yuh inna big chobble (Trouble is not nice. You’re in big trouble)
- Yuh nuh dun yet? (You haven’t finished, yet?)
- Ello, mi can help yuh wid someting? (Hello, can I help you with something?)
- Lawd ‘ave mercy pan Miss Percy. (Lord have mercy with Miss Percy)
- Cuyah, she gwan lak she nice eee? (Look at that, she acts like she is so nice)
How on Earth could Asian people understand that? But I’ve said on my previous posts, Filipinos are clever and I am slowly picking up the way they talk. I think I could speak Patois as well few more days from now. Char!
Anyhow, I did enjoyed the party even for just a couple of hours. Lotsa unfamiliar foods but even so, I still ate ‘em. Delicious.
But what I am so happy about is seeing the smiles plastered on our resident’s faces as they spend quality time with their relatives and friends. They are all dressed up looking smart and nice and I can see through their eyes that they are indeed, blissful.
I love ‘em all and l am so looking forward for more happy moments with them for the coming new year.
I wear short skirts (high heels)
She wear T-shirts (sneakers)
Im cheer captain
And she’s on the bleachers
I remember someone posted this song lyrics on her blog way back rocky road time. According to her, she can exactly relate to this story at that moment. Blah Blah Blah…
And that’s how exactly Im feeling right now. Though I have to change the “SHE” to “I” and the “I” to “SHE” cos I really do wear short skirts and high heels. They are my comfort clothes and I oh so love ‘em. One more thing is that I was really a cheer captain/leader when I was in highschool and college (FYI: We’re the champion on the cheering competition during that time as well) *wink* It bloody fits me, yea?
Weird cos I haven’t heard this music for a long time and now, Im actually blogging this like she did before. Honestly, I hated this song so much (doesn’t mean that I hated Taylor Swift either) but now, I am ridiculously loving it and I could totally sing this on top of my lungs (or should I say throat? lol)… cos you belong with me-eeeeh-eeeeh…
YOU BELONG WITH ME! :D
