Warning - EMO post ahead!!! ---- My childhood was filled with lots of playing around and sleepovers at my ama's house.  I enjoyed the company of my cousins.  I had a *best* cousin - and I loved her very much.  But as we grew older - things drew us apart.  I remember in HS she wouldn't be as friendly to me - it was only years after that I learned that the reason behind it was that I took her for granted one time.  She mentioned to me that I left her alone by herself when we went skating with my friends and that hurt her.  I wasn't aware that I did that, I couldn't remember anymore - but I told her I was sorry. So we were a bit okay for the next couple of years.  We would gladly bump into one another during gimmiks (in college).  It was a nice time.  Our parents' relationship I guess drew her apart from me.  I couldn't blame her.  I mean that's her family - and she will feel the havoc of anger when she disobeys.  We g...

I have been a lurker of Jane's blog for quite a while now.  I love visiting her blog because her happy-ness is contagious!  When I'm having a not so good day, I just type her URL and voila - a smile creeps up my fave.  My friend Kath loves her too and one of the reasons is that she's so fasyon and fabulous!  Read her posts and you'll see what I mean. So imagine my shock, kilig-ness and pure joy when she invited me to do a guest post.  I mean, ME?  Didi?  Was she serious?  I had to read her email THREE freaking times just to be able to absorb the reality that, she emailed me!  I was literally in shock - but mind you, I replied immediately.  So I guess, I must be speed reading at that!  Haha!! :)  You can read about my post here . I was still reeling with shock and delight and then I received another invitation to meet her.  Gosh, I was rolling all over the floor in happiness!  I was so kilig and over the moon....

Yesterday afternoon, I accompanied my Panget's SIL (Sis-in Law) and cutie niece to Landmark to buy a few things. Ellie, my Panget's niece is the most mabait 2 year old that I have ever met! She doesn't throw tantrums, she listens to what we say and most of all, she knows how to compromise!! :) She doesn't run around the mall, she just follows us around - although there are moments where she goes astray - like wanting to ride the escalator! and sitting on a huge palanggana and watching people do their normal shopping and looking around - but overall, she's such a sweetheart to watch over, no complaints! When we got home to SIL's house - I saw how she took care of her 2 kids, and I thought to myself - in a few years, I will be like her! But I'm honestly afraid, SIL is one of the most considerate, most caring, most loving people I know and me? Well, I honestly think I am sorta selfish - although I have a good heart, I don't know - there are doubts, d...

About a little past 4:00pm this afternoon, the basement part of the Christ the King church was filled with the sound of a crying baby girl. All of a sudden, all eyes were searching for where the sound came from. It came from SASHA ANDREA , Imma and Marshall's 2nd baby angel. And at that moment, she was being Christened - welcomed to the Christian world. It seems that she was irritated with something - Annie, my friend - suggested that it may be the sound of the microphone, because baby SASHA was not used to loud sounds. I hope that reason was right, or else.. Just Kidding!! To SASHA ANDREA - welcome to the Christian world, CONGRATULATIONS!!
