Yosh is in My Office

Natutulog na ngayon ang baby ko dito sa office. Nagsiesiesta. Andun nakahiga sa gym mat may hawak na unan.



*insert piktyur here*



Masaya ako sa araw na to. Parang di rin ako napapagod. He keeps me happy and my spirits are up now that he's around.



I've taken some pics.. will post tomorrow (ahahah... eto na naman ako :P)

Today is first time I brought my baby to the office :)

Yes. You read that right. My baby's here with me today at the office. I'm just happy that inspite he's littering while he's eating, he's not crying nor wrecking havoc here in the office. This makes me feel confident that one way or the other, if this need to bring him in the office arises, I could still bring him again.

He's eating Pik-Nik and apples right now.

And another thing that made me write this blog was that there are times that he just looks at me then flashes me his "Yosh-smile". How's that? He smiles showing all his upper and lower teeth while his eyes turn to look like two horizontal lines, with his cheekbones up.

His smiles are so cute.
He's just sooo cute. Ü

Lastly, I would like to thank by "Baby" for just waking up very early in the morning just to bring us to the office and carried our bags for us.

I l♥ve ya. xoxo

Today was the day I was awarded as the CSP of the Month

Yes, that's right :) I was sooo damn happy that in about 9 months since I got here in She Sells Sea Shells, I have now been awarded as the CSP ofthe Month!!

So what? (Hahahahaha)

Oh well, aside form bragging rights, I must say that being one is also a good "way" of augmenting my income. Haha. Yep. Got about Php1.5k additional as a "reward" for being the CSP of the month. Hehe. No wonder Patty (my colleague) is happy being the CSP of the month.

I'm just so thankful that God answered my prayer. You see, I've been wondering how in the world will I be able to buy milk for Yosh tonight (well, aside from asking Beau to take care of it for the meantime, which I fully feel suckish in doing). Now, surprisingly (or almost surprisingly ~ coz I've got that gut feeling that I would win this time as Patty wasn't around ~ hahaha), I won and got an SM gift check for Php1.5k. Whew. I'm happy. Haha. That's all.

And I'm wishing mo' money money money (and giftcheques) to come. Ahaha.

Santorini, Thessaloniki, Folegandros, Mykonos, and Athens

Had it not been because of Athens, I would not have an idea those places would be from Greece. Okay, so I had seen the trailer of For The First Time (with Richard and KC) and I couldn't help but be mesmerized by the enchanting beauty of Santorini and the Aegean Sea that surrounds it. So, I googled Santorini (and not KC and Chard anymore, haha, had enuff of them on TV already), and I found an amazing lines of pictures that even by just viewing a small part of that island, I couldn't help but feel awe in wonder and amazement.

thank you, Google, for providing me these wonderful pics!Ü

While browsing through some websites that talk about Santorini, the lifestyle, the gastronomic quests one could find, the humongous number of history that the place has, the clear blue waters, and the wineries one could visit, there was this little advertisement on top part of one of the pages I was browsing that had a quote "To make a dream come true, you have to start with the dream"... I was stunned by that quote. As there was quite some time that I had been wondering myself what are the dreams I have for myself. I looked at that quote/advertisement that was continously playing and pondered, read again, and pondered again until I have realised that that quote was actually pertaining to their "Weddings in Greece" by heliotopos offer. I clicked on that ad and saw the best places on earth. And all could be found in Greece, and the people/subjects posed on that site were a man and a woman who just got married. OMG!!!Ü I was totally stunned, breathless, and my eyes were smiling as I browse from one picture to another... One memory to another... One couple to another. The background was magnificent, the places in Greece which they got married were simple but the simplicity makes the whole "marital production" elegant. I've never seen a place best to get married but here! Hahaha. Miladies, I absolutely recommend you to check that website out and see for yourself. Gosh, I am currently working right now but heck about the work as long as my eyes were feasting with the thoughts and new "dreams" I now have. Yes, indeed, Hotel Heliotopos definitely have great place to offer. I wasn't even able to realise that while browsing through that website myself, oh gosh... There was a dream inside me that suddenly bloomed by itself. Yes. As a matter of fact, Santorini, Athens, or Thessaloniki... They are the places I'll be starting to look into from now :D

Yay!

Nice View From the Plane (^_^)

Here's the view from above :) Awww...








Beau and I were aboard Cebu Pacific. I've been a frequent flyer of Cebu Pac's airbuses and for me, even when there is turbulence, I really don't feel a huge nausea while on flight. Althroughout the flight, it went on smoothly except for some "airsickness" that I've been feeling from time to time. On the two flights going to and fro Dumaguete, there were even some "games" that were hosted by the flight attendants. They asked some questions like, "What is this big whale that swims in the Islands of Bohol (or this is not verbatim, ok?)" and "What is the inactive volcano that is perfectly cone-shaped that could be found in the Philippines". And guess what? Being the "hyper-active" that I am (as Beau usually puts it), I was able to answer one of those 3 questions when we were on our way to Dumaguete!!! Ü hahaha. Well, such was an experience for me. Well, what can I do? I think I always would want to win contests! (talk about being competitive, eh? Ü).

Next will be my post when we landed at the Airport going to our very first food stop... Sans Rival!!! Ü

Let's Start at the Airport - NAIA Terminal 3

So, of course, I shall not take a boat ride going to Dumaguete (Dgte). I'm a person who easily gets bored. I could already sing "Killing Me Softly" for an hour of flight for me (which is approx the time of flight from Manila to Dgte). I was surprised to know that Cebu Pac had sent us to T3. And sheesh, as I don't travel a lot. I felt really good that I'll be able to take a peek at this Airport the government so much prides.

So, check out the pictures and maybe you can pass the verdict yourself. Ü

BTW, Terminal Fee going to Dumaguete (or in any domestic flight I assume) is Php200.00.

Upon entering the Terminal. (Singing ~ I've come back this morning to where I first... Came alive...~~~). Look at the flash, somewhere there you will see my silhouette. ;p

For me, this is already humongous. Ü

I think they're for international flights S:)

Spacious, I should say Ü

I don't know what these booths are called, I call them booths - hehe (okay, educate me). But I know for sure this is where we got our plane tickets ♪♪♪ And this is where some people leave their baggages too.

Mr. Manong Guard and behind him is a spacious lot. (It's good to have ample space. I'm claustrophobic by choice. Hehehe).

Wow! Looks like I'm on my way for an International flight. (naks)

Yes. They also do have Cinnabon inside. It's about Php100.00 (approx 2 bucks) for 1 bon. At the malls, it's about 85 (I reckon).

Couple's pic before the flight. Ü

ÜÜÜ Here are some of the weird stuffs I saw inside the terminal ÜÜÜ

To be totally and reaaally honest, I don't have an idea where she'll be going. Ü

Sila Kuya ano kaya ang tinitignan sa banda roon??? (What are these guys looking at?)

And Finally...

Gate 116

I was there...

It was dark and raining before we went aboard.

Before boarding the plane. Lemme show you mah sweet smile! Ü

... And off we went! Ü♪Ü♪Ü

So there you have it. The first few hours of my trip :) I'll try, as much as I could, to post one trip per day as not to keep you hanging guys, fans, and gals!!! Ü

Tomorrow, then. ;p

Let Me Walk You Through My Entire Vacation

While I was away and experiencing Dumaguete and Siquijor for the first time. I was so in awe and I have realised that most of the time that I was silent, I was actually talking in my head! Ü

Anyhow, without further ado, here were the highlights of my entire travel this 2008.


Wednesday - Ate breakfast at Sans Rival. Tasted some of their goodies. Ü Went straight to Coco Grove Beach Resort in Siquijor. Swam in the pool and we ate a lot. But mostly took pictures and just went around the resort.

Thursday - Went around sightseeing in the island of Siquijor. We saw the oldest Balete/Balite tree in the world (about 400 y.o.). We also saw the Mangroves, the Cambugahay Falls, we swam at Salagdoong Beach, we saw the oldest house in Siquijor, the Capilay Spring Park, St. Isidore Labradore Parish Church and Convent among many others.

Friday - Left Siquijor at noon. Ate at Jo's Chicken Inato at Dumaguete City, then went straight to KooKoo's Nest in Antulang Peninsula.

Saturday - Left KooKoo's Nest at noon, went back to Dumaguete City. Looked for a neat hotel available (city is usually jam-packed on a weekend). Settled down, slept a little. Ate some spag from Sans Rival. Then ate pizza at Rosante's (now don Roberto's). Ate some Panda Ice Cream. Played Wii (hehehe). Went to the Boulevard to eat Dumaguete-style tempura.

Sunday - Can't get enough of Sans Rival! Waaah!Ü Went walking around the boulevard, took pics, roamed around the downtown, went to the "market" (palengke), dropped by the church for a quick silent prayer, went to Sans Rival to eat cakes, went to Urban Nirvana Spa to check the spa out, then back to the hotel, then back to Sans Rival for some spags and for some take-home goodies, then back to Urban Nirvana Spa for a 2 hour massage, and lastly, we headed to the Airport!

ÜÜÜ

Yes, I know you want mooore details. Don't worry. See my next posts :D

Mukha Ba Akong College?

Alam nyo ba nakailang beses ng sumakay ako ng bus tapos ang laging tanong sakin ng kundoktor eh... "Ma'am san kayo?" (normal question); "San kayo galing?" (normal question)...

Shempre, wala namang kakaiba sa tanong na yan dahil yan naman kadalasan ang palitan ng salita na nangyayari sa loob ng bus.

Pero eto ang malupet na tanong na halos gusto ko ng tumawa kapag tinatanong sa kin:
"Miss, estudyante ka ba?"

Nyorks! Gusto kong sabihin kay manong kunduktor na 2 taong gulang na ang anak ko, 3 taon na akong nagtratrabaho at halos 24 anyos na ang gulang ko... ESTUDYANTE?!?! Magna cum laude ba? (Magna-nine years sa kolehiyo? Excusa moi!)

Parang gusto kong isipin sa sarili ko kung naiisip ba nyang estudyante ako dahil hindi ako marunong mag ayos o estudyante ako dahil bansot ako. Kung alin man dun ang rason kung bakit ako tinatanong na estudyante, parang wala atang magandang sagot.

Sabihin ko kaya pabalik kay kuya... "Kung mukha akong estudyante kuya, sige go!" LOL

Ilang beses na din naitanong ng iba't ibang konduktor kung estudyante ba ako. Sa totoo lang, minsan, napag-iisip isip ko na din kung mula bukas kaya eh umpisahan ko ng sabihin na estudyante ako kapag nagtanong sila. Ha ha ha.

Cher at BBL, baka malugi kayo sa maling akala.
