Dawal beach resort - Zambales

April 26-27, 2008 - We had our over night stay @ Dawal Beach Resort in Zamabales. The travel time was a bit long. But it was never boring because we kept each other busy. I only slept on hour and the kwentuhan kept me awake. And there are times that I had time alone with my ipod and moments later we were there already.

~ On the road to Zambales ~

We made ourselves comfortable in out A/C rooms and prepared food for dinner. We had grilled liempo (pork), chicken, eggplant and sinigang. I was able to roam around to check the place. They have everything there. From the beach front to the pool area, restaurant and bar.

~ At last, sand on my feet... ~

I had a quick nap before dinner and felt recharged for the night. After dinner we all went for a swim in the pool since it was too dark to go to beach. I got a good exercise because I swam and swam until I'm out of breath. We also did group games and everyone enjoyed. I did not had the chance to take pictures because I was one of the committee and was busy preparing and assisting everyone. I really enjoyed the night.

6AM Wake call - but I woke up at 6:30am. We quickly prepared breakfast and wore our swimming gear for an Island hop to Potipot island.

~ A boat ride to Potipot Island. ~

The boat slowed down once near the shore and look what I saw in the water... it's so clear that I could see the rock formation at the buttom.

~ Clear water ~

The peaceful waves matched the clear waters and the white sands--perfect for swimming. It was still early when we got there which why the shot is not that bright.

~ Perfect weekend getaway ~

~ The team in Potipot Island. ~

We got back to our rooms, got dressed and hit the road to Manila. The travel time was a breeze. It kinda felt good that we're going home. But before that, we stopped by at Xtremely Xpresso Cafe' in Subic bay for a Big Ben Pizza. Their pan pizza was huge! And about the same price as the one's we usually order from Pizza Hut and Shakey's but the difference is, you'll know it's freshly baked. I loved that chicken with herbs. It has a kind of twist in it that you'll want to have more.

~ Xtremely huge pizza! ~

The hubby and I plans to go check out the zoo in Subic bay for the little angel to see and maybe try the Big Ben pizza too. I can't wait.

First Hair-cut

It's a Friday and we attended my hubby's (cousin) graduation in PICC. It's so nice to see students graduate from their chosen field. It got teary-eyed when I imagined that it was the little angel's college graduation hehehe. I wonder if she's gonna be a nurse like her God Mother Kris (in the picture) or maybe a doctor!

~ Congratulations Kris! ~

We celebrated the occasion and ate lunch at North Park. The food was great. The little angel ate wanton noodles. Thank God she's eating more and more everyday. After that we went to Kris' house to get their bags because they'd go for a swim the next day with the hubby's side of the family together with the little angel. I was not able to join because I was in Zambales for a company outing.

We dropped by at Trinoma for the Little Angel's first hair cut. Yes, all the baby hair was still there waiting to be cut. We went to "Cuts 4 Tots" because they have the first hair cut certificate which I want to hang in her room. She picked the motorcycle chair and stayed there and did not move at all. Thank goodness for that chair.

~ Before they cut her hair. ~

Usually she gets mad when we mentioned that we'll cut her hair. But she's like, well focused on the motor bike and didn't mind what was going on. The hubby didn't like short hair so we decided to have a little trim instead which turn out to be nice.

~ Barbero in action... Little angel deadma. ~

~ New hair do. ~

The hubby even bought her a gold head band to match her new hair do. I think she looks mature with her new hair. And it looks healthier too.

~ Picture taking with McDonald. ~

~ Now we both have the same hair length. ~

Antartica wave

I got this email several weeks before and it's pretty amazing. This is called the "Antartica wave". Pictures are cool. Read on.

The water froze the instant the wave broke through the ice. That's what it is like in Antarctica . Water freezes the instant it comes in contact with the air. The temperature of the water is already a few degrees below freezing. Just look at how the wave froze in midair? Some amazing pictures ... Enjoy.

BTW, since i got this email as spam... I don't know the guy in the picture hahaha!

my cam

I've been updating my other home more than this recently. Why? Because I got sad these couple of days because my cam is under repair. To think it's only 2 months old. That's why I had nothing to show here. Oh well.

But I got a text message yesterday from the store and they said that my cam will be ready this week. I hope I don't go all that trouble again once it's fixed. And I wish they'd text me asap! I've been dying to take pictures for days now.

Party Rentals

My sister was asking new ideas on kiddie birthdays because her second daughter will be celebrating her first birthday this year. She search the Party Rentals nearby and they were all the same. I browsed the Internet and found Inflatable Party Rentals online. She might consider getting this especially the Water Slide Party Rentals. We are all excited and I'm sure everybody will have a blast.

Acoustic Nights

We had our office activity last night--Acoustic Nights, which 2 bands will be picked and scheduled to play every Friday in the next 4 weeks. This is the 3rd week and we won over Kitchy Balls (the other band), by just 1.5 higher hehehe. I still don't the official photos but I got one shot from my office mate's camera phone. Take a peak--I'm on the far right side. Final competition... coming soon!

~ Cocofish rockin' the night away. ~

Kinda sad

I'm kinda sad these couple of days because we just brought my camera to the service center. The cam is just 1 month old and we just used it for like 3 times only. The weird part is the lens cover would not close and it's giving us a blue screen on the LCD. How sad. I kinda liked that cam because of it's features. I hope it'll be fixed soon. So no pictures for now.

S for supah straight

Yesss! I had my hair done care of my mom! I'm so lucky because my mom sponsored the rebond treatment last Sunday. It was quite a surprise because I really didn't expect it. I was just suppose to have my hair cut at that time. Now, I'm enjoying the softness of my hair... do I need to complain? Lucky me. And since I don't have my cam with me, I found a picture from the Internet and my hair really looks like this. I like it.

~ Picture from *here* ~

6-hours in the salon was worth it... Thanks mom!

Weekend Snapshot

~ Meet "Blue" ~

Yes, this deserves a solo post. Meet "Blue Thomsun"--my new bass guitar. It's a brand new Yamaha 4-stings 24 fret matte finish and maple fret board. I like it a lot. Thanks papsie!

Pasalubong

~ Pasalubong! ~

I know this is not much but I really appreciate it. Thanks to my sister S for the Dove lotion and herbs. Will be trying that Roast Chicken soon sis! I love the red bag. Just in time for summer. Also the little camel for the little angel and cereal cars for me and hubby. Thank you!

Car Show @ WTC

I always wanted to go out with the hubby and the little angel. I'm happy the hubby took the day off. And here's one of our small trip last Sunday at the Car show in the World Trade Center. It was hot afternoon but we really enjoyed especially the car stunt.

~ On the way to Car show. The little angel loves to do funny faces. ~

~ She loves motorcycles too... just like her daddy. ~

~ Russ Swift with her famous Car stunts ~

~ Lovely lady. Don't you just love that flawless white skin?! ~

~ The little angel loves spaghetti so much.
Oh I think she's already hungry, don't you think? ~

Writing Help

School activities can be really stressful. We need to be active both on major courses and extra curriculum activities at school. I remembered when I was still studying, I would participate on extra activities at school but end up not getting my report done. Or even if I would, I would just cram and not be able to do my best. Until I heard that there's a custom writing online that we can buy. Yes, we can buy essay from professional writers and PhDs. This writing a dissertation will help and guide students get that A+ score they deserve.

Nursing School

There are a lot of nursing schools in our area and a lot of aspiring individuals out there who wants a better career in the said field. But getting the right cna schools to get that cna training is all it takes to get a better career. These includes cna courses for nursing and many more.

Sonography Medical Information Site

Sonography technician courses are beginning to be a demand nowadays. And the best way to get quality education is to enroll on top Sonography schools in the area. This will help one achieve proper educational knowledge and proper trainings for sonography tech which can even land you a high paying job abroad.

Back!

They are back! Yes, I got an IM message from my sister that my parents are safe and sound at home. I would be counting the hours until the end of my shift so I can go there and check my pasalubong! And also give them a warm-welcome-home-embrace! =)

I still have tomorrow evening, good luck if I can make at least 4-hours of sleep at home. I'm sure I'll be looking at pictures, videos and listening to stories. Sometimes, I wish time would just stop even for a moment.

What's up?!

That is--what's up with me?! Had a busy busy weekend. I only had one day off and that's the Sunday. That means I still had to go to work Saturday evening then went to church Sunday morning, so no sleep again for me. Then after lunch, three of us went to World Trade Center to check out the Car Show. I had to borrow my sister's cam because my mom brought my cam in Dubai. Unfortunately, we only few photos because most of them were videos taken from Mr. Russ Swift's car stunts. The hubby enjoyed the show and the little angel was like walalang. Maybe she's not into car right now. Oh well. After that, we went to MOA. Despite the heat and crowd, I still manage to stay awake. I wonder how I do it or if I will get sick someday because of this. Wag naman sana. I remembered we bought 2 sets of drinks because we always get thirsty. Init kase.

We had 2 stuffed pizzas and one half order of spaghetti in tomato sauce for the little angel. The hubby and I were happy to see the little angel eating alone. It was messy but it's okay. She almost finished her plate. Pictures to follow because the connection is acting slow again.

After our feisty meal at Sbarro, I caught myself pinned on the dvd sale. Original dvds from Php400 or 500, now it's only Php150 and 175. We bought Monsters Inc and Thomas the train for the little angel. I wanted to buy more but the hubby said it was getting late. damn. But I gave in because, of course I don't want to spend that much money on dvds alone.

The little angel was fast asleep in the car on the way home. How about me? Well, I fell asleep couple of times but the hubby kept on slapping my knee. Obviously, he doesn't want to me to sleep because we still need to go her Aunt to run some errands and no one will hold the little angel if I fell asleep too. Again, I manager to stay awake.

We were all dead tired, especially me when we got home. But I enjoyed the day. I love going out with them. I hope we can do it more often. Our next road trip--Manila Ocean Park.

I had the whole day yesterday dedicated to "sleeping" alone. I can't even remember if I ate anything. All I can remember was the little angel was there beside me playing with her toys. I remembered, I woke up when she had to climb over me to get to other side of the bed, I slightly opened my eyes and was half asleep--then she touched my face and she said "Sleep mommy, sleep..." with a soft voice. I wanted to hug, cuddle and kiss her but I was too sleepy to do it. Joys of motherhood.

Then off I go again to work at night. Everybody was smiling last night because it was a holiday. That means 100% hehehe.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

I kissed the little angel and went straight to bed when I got home this morning. I had a 7-hour sleep and now my eyes are puffy. Too much sleep? I don't know. If my memory serves me right, I was awake for almost 2 days and I think 7 hours of sleep is not enough. Oh well.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

My parents, my sister and her hubby will be back tomorrow from their 16 days vacation in Dubai. I can't wait. I had to admit I miss my parents. I miss my sister and mom's text messages and my dad calling me at 10AM just to check if I'm already home in Bulacan with the little angel. Of course, I'm excited with the pasalubong! yey!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
I still can't upload pictures with this damn slow connection. Maybe I'll try again tomorrow morning. Tsk.

Pahabol: I was dead desperate last night because my hair was a disaster. Yes, I'm getting those bad hair days again. Now, I'm thinking of curls, straight or bangs. Oh well.

shopping cart software

There are so many factors that we need to consider before taking the risk in getting into the business world. Recently, my uncle contacted me because he was thinking of putting up his own business here. And luckily, we are already in the research stage and has potential clients and revenue. I introduced to my uncle the shopping cart software. Good thing is that he is considering this option because surely it will make sales up high on the roof. This service offers a 10 day free trial that can help us test the sales if will market online. They also have a free virtual online store design that can really attract potential clients in the future. They are so many ways to advertise and market online and this is real deal. Getting an online virtual store will definitely help our business to grow and reach more customers around the world.

Weekend Snapshot

Don't worry--The little angel is Okay! The hubby just gave the little angel a quick dip in the pool for that this one shot. They just can't get enough of the underwater cam. This was taken last month on my birthday.

~ Hold that breath. ~

Together forever

We are technically 8 years today. I wanted to post our first picture together but I don't have a soft copy of that. I received our picture as a gift (in a frame) because it was taken from my cousin's cam. But I was able to find one of the oldest picture we have. This was taken way back in March of 2002. Mukhang bata ako jan...

~ 8 years and counting... ~

ecommerce software

They say that the best way to advertise is on the Internet. Because more and more people are getting connected using the Internet that's why the world today is becoming smaller because of this technology. Anything is possible nowadays. Before we need to go out and spend countless hours in the office just to earn for the future of our family. But now, even stay at home mothers and housewives can earn extra cash on the side without leaving their comfort zone. As a mother of a growing and active two year old daughter, I work full time just to earn and save for her future. Sometimes, I think of staying at home so I can grasp and embrace her growing years. My sister proposed a small business that we can start since she too wants to stay home and manage her own business. I believe it will work but we need marketing strategy for our sales to up. Looking for answers on the Internet, and there I found Shopping cart software. It's an online ecommerce software that can help us built our dream online store. They have a 10 day free trial online so we can further asses our sales if can do it. But I'm sure we will be needing ecommerce software that's why we are now choosing our very own virtual store design. And we can't wait for it. Shopping cart will definitely help our small business to grow.
