Welcome home

Everybody knows how sad I was when I lost my Fender Bass. I felt that all the world came down on me on that tragic day. And I know it's time to move on. Last Sunday, me and my dad went to JB Music Store to check out their items when my eye caught this acoustic bass guitar on the stand and I ended up paying for this baby.

~ It's time to move on... ~

I know my Fender bass is way better than this but this is my new baby now. Welcome home!

~ She likes stacking her Lego high! And this time with the
help of her daddy. She even make and imagine things with it--like
a flower, playground and more. ~

My Birthday

We enjoyed the food, music and small chats together with booze on the side. See full story *here*

~ Jamming the night away... ~

Surprise!

All I wish was to be with my family and close friends on the birthday. But look what my sisters had prepared.... a lovely banner and a fire guitar cake!

~ What a lovely banner! with my family and friends! ~

~ Fire guitar cake! ~

I really appreciate all the effort and making my birthday a success. Thank you for sharing that special day with us.

Frustrating

Don't you find it frustrating when something doesn't work? I've been complaining for the 2 days why I can't post a picture on blogger. That's why I missed the 'Weekend Snapshot'. I can't figure out if it is the Internet connection or the computer. I've noticed the computer is slower than the usual slow ever since I saved the pictures from last Saturday. I'm assuming it's eating all the memory. I really need the external HD badly or better yet a new computer! I'll try again to post a picture when I get to the office just to isolate it if it really the Internet or the computer.

Not working

I'm excited to post some pictures for the weekend snapshot but this Add Image option on blogger is not working. I've trying to upload the file since last night. Tried it also this morning, and also now but failed. I'm not sure if the Internet here is slow or my computer is slow. But I know for a fact that this computer is definitely slow. It's kinda frustrating but oh well, will try again later tonight.

Happy Birthday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! to me...

See you!

There's so many things to do. And I still have work later this evening. Tomorrow's my birthday! I hope everything will turn out okay. I'll be signing off just for the weekend. And when I come back on Monday, I'm sure I have tons of photos to share. Take care!

~ See you here! ~

Check list

Last night I made a check list on the things to buy, bring and what to do on Saturday. I cannot afford to forget anything. Since I'm a certified forgetful person. *read full story here* I always call my mom or my sister on how to go about the plan or the trip so I will not forget anything. Hopefully I'll have everything ready before Saturday. Oh I'm excited! To meet again old friends and hopefully make new friends. I'll just pray that I wont forget to bring that check list hahaha!

Wordless Wednesday

~ I've been trying to get a decent photo of the little angel riding her toy.
I was literally shouting "Smile! Smile!" when unfortunately,
a bunch of birds passed by--she looked up, the same time I clicked my camera. ~

Rocker girl

Yeah, I was a rocker girl before. But now, I'm a proud mommy! I can't help but reminisce those days especially with my beloved +Fender.

Double excited

The winner of my little contest for the domain name sent me a message yesterday, saying that she wants to give the prize to the little angel. That was so sweet of her really. I plan to get her swimming gear for our family outing this coming May. It's the little angel's first time to go to the beach! And I'm really excited to see her reaction on the sand and the salt water. I was also thinking to get a beach umbrella. The kids might play on the sands for hours and they needs some kind of protection from the sun. Oh I'm so excited!

Another reason to be excited is that my birthday's coming up. Swimming party! I'm already inviting some friends over at my BIL's resort house in Bacoor Cavite this Saturday and I can't wait to meet them. I've prepared mieryenda and some cool drinks on the side. I'm really hoping they could make it.

Tired me

We had a great time earlier with the rest of the zitros. And I'm so tired today because of the little angel keeps on running and running and it's very hard to keep up. I think I need to double my exercise tomorrow because of all those yummy meal we had for lunch. Not to mention, we ate ice cream twice. Wahh! I need to stay focus and keep up with my diet. I really need to loose weight before summer. Stay focus lizzie! Oh btw, I'll be a year older next week and I'm excited! Sleep well.

Excited this summer!

I can't help but get excited this summer 2008 because I recently bought a digicam that can go with us even under water! I'm dying to have that gadget since last year but I waited until I could buy one for myself. I think the wait was all worth it because they released a newer of the said cam with added features. I'm sure we're gonna have a blast this summer and I have my digicamie-tot to document everything.

~ Olympus SW 795 ~

So for anyone who plans to buy a cam? I suggest you check this baby out! I think the SW795 is released only in Asia. It's the newer version of SW770 and SW790. I know this is still pricey in the market but I bump a local website where they offer brand new items at a very reasonable price. Believe me, mura talaga. Check it out *here* I was not paid to advertise the site, I'm just a happy buyer trying to help a good seller. They have ipods, dvd players and even cell phones. I can't wait for summer!

BIL's birthday jam

Last Saturday, it was our BIL's birthday and we invited my friends for a jam session. It was held at their subdivision's swimming pool area. We arrived at the place around later afternoon so we could set-up the instruments. It's so nice to meet with my old friends again. I miss these jam sessions, late night talks and lots-a-booze! Too bad my bass guitar was not able to join us anymore. But of course, I have to move on. Anyway, we enjoyed the jam and booze and I might do this again on my birthday. See more pictures *here* and see full story *here*

Tragedy struck

It was a pleasant day last Thursday. My dad asked me to setup the drum set and the amps in preparation for th BIL's birthday celebration (Saturday). So after breakfast, I post a quick update and checked my emails. I plugged the amps and I setup the drums and test drive the drums with an ipod to accompany me. Just to make sure nothing would fall off during the party. After that I washed my hands so I could re-unite with my bass guitar again. When I touched the hard case, I sense that something was wrong. Then I panicked when I saw termites falling off the side of the coffin-like case. I quickly called the house helper to help me with it, because the lock was jammed. I started to loose hope because the hard case which was suppose to be hard was now slightly softer than before. I asked the helper to open it so I could take a peek. I saw that the color was now faded. I told myself that the color does not matter. So I asked again asked to just pulled the guitar so I could see everything. And also I was trying to save the lock on the case. But I jumped, panicked, cursed and cried when I saw the whole the guitar. It was totally eaten by termites! Yes, my favorite Fender Precision Bass Guitar was gone! I could not do anything. It was too late. Way too late! Everything was gone! I felt that I lost someone so very dear to me.

I lost my friend

Have you ever lost a most valuable thing in the whole world? What did you feel about it? Yesterday, I did and it was the worst day of my life. I never felt so sad in my whole life. I cant eat, I cant sleep and I cant think straight. If only I could turn back time, I would. I felt irresponsible and stupid. All I can do now is imagine and savor that special moments I had with it. You can say that I'm emotional--yes I am. You can say that I'm a cry baby--yes I am. Because I consider that *thing* that I lost yesterday, a very special friend. *Very valuable to me*. My papa said, to let it go. It has a purpose why it's gone. But I still cant help but cry. I'm really really lost for words whenever I think about it. Do you what it is? I'll post it soon when I have the courage to look at it again. But now, I'm still grieving. I lost my very special friend.

Remembering our Papang

Today, we salute a great man that passed away a year ago. He was role model to all of us. He came from a poor family and earned his way until he finished his school with flying colors. He was able to provide shelter, food and education to his family up until to his grand children. His passing was painful but yet it's nature's calling that he needs to rest. As we remember his achievements, lessons, precious moments and reputable image--we are all happy that he is now at peace. His ways will always be alive in our hearts.

As I browse my multiply account, I noticed that my sister S wrote an entry too. You see, she was the one who left for Dubai the same day our grand father passed away a year old. Here's her side of the story... *Remembering Papang...*

He was the salutatorian in his class when he gradruated Accounting in Jose Rizal and ranked 3rd placer in the over all CPA (Certified Public Accountant) board examination. He was friends with the late +Go Kim Pah and was one of the co-founder of Equitable Bank. He served the Go family for 56 long years.
