Online Lover

I'm sure you have all had your encounter with online weirdos. The ones who magically finds you on the internet and tries to sweep you off of your feet. Funny thing is you guys don't know a thing about each other.

I was just checking out blogs and chatting with my brother when suddenly I get an instant message on yahoo from this guy named Mark David Leo. Thinking he might be someone who has read my blog, I decided to go ahead and be nice and to reply to his message. The usual thing happens, starting off with ctc (care to chat) and a brief introduction. hmmm...and now let's fast forward to the interesting part... Click on the picture to enlarge and read a copy of the instant message.

That was a bit weird. For someone you've chatted with for only a couple minutes talking about marriage and all that is not something you would want to bring that early into a conversation, and with a complete stranger? I mean, come on, how much more desperate can this guy be? No wonder he is not in a relationship, heck if I met someone like this in real life, I would avoid him like the plague. Luckily, this was just in yahoo, wherein if you get annoyed you can just click the beloved IGNORE button. But anyway, gosh, this guy just seemed a bit racist to me. Respect is earned, it is not a matter of what race or nationality you belong to.

So anyways, you've heard about my experience, now tell me about yours. =)

My Baby's Daddy

No no no...I don't have a baby. And I'm not having one any time soon either. So what's up with the title? Well...Flashback....

Rewind to 2 years ago...

After tons of shopping I was super hungry. My brother and my little cousin Brian, who was 4 years old at the time accompanied me on my shopping escapade, but of course that was in exchange to some stuff they had me buy for them.

So after walking endlessly around the mall our next stop was food. My little cousin Brian was in the middle of me and my brother. We were trying to decide what to have for lunch. And then all the sudden my cousin started laughing. He asked me who I was talking to. Apparently I had been talking to no one but myself. My brother had suddenly pulled the disappearing act on me. So trying to look around I found him talking to some girl. I think he was asking for her number of something. And so the flirting went on. I sent him a message saying"I'm freakin hungry". His phone beeped and he just read the message and kept talking to this girl. No reply. I called him and he didn't answer. Ok fine, now my stomach is growling and I'm pissed. And little Brian needs to go to the little boy's room to tinkle.

So what do I do? I have my little cousin run up to my brother saying "Daddy, I need to peeee and I'm hungry. Mom's there waiting for youuuuuu". The girl look mortified. My brother tried to explain that Brian is just his cousin, and Brian really played along, tugging on my brother's shirt saying daddyyyyyy...And the girl walked away. My brother glared at me with evil eyes as I batted my eyes at him and flashed him the sweetest smile. When he was near the only thing I could say was "hey daddy, where have you been?"

hahahaha....

Ok, so before I forget, this is totally off the topic, but last Saturday I had in an oktoberfest beach event. There were lots of drinking and games and the music was awesome. So here are a couple pictures from the party.

Ending the night with fireworks. Happy Oktoberfest to all. =)

Atchooooo... Next Time Don't Rush Me!

I'm sure all of you are guilty of doing last minute stuff. Some of you are also ok with having to pack your bags just an hour or 30 minutes prior to leaving for a planned trip. I'm that way sometimes too.

So just yesterday, I had dinner with my boyfriend and his family (his parents and 3 brothers). So I was the only girl there aside from his mother. Anyhow, this was not a spur of the moment dinner. It was more like a weekly dinner with his family. For 4 years into our relationship I should already know by now that we have this dinner every single week. I still put an effort into my appearance, how I look in front of his family (his parents are a bit conservative). My boyfriend called me an hour before our scheduled dinner and told me that he would be leaving the house soon to come pick me up and that I should be ready by the time he arrives. Ok sure, no problem, I assured him that I was almost done getting dressed and everything.

By the time he arrived I was not done yet, as expected. I was still drying my hair and still trying to decide on what to wear. And after all that I did my nails in a french manicure. Boyfriend started nagging and I knew he was really trying his best to be patient with me. So I ran to my drawer and grabbed my hanky (I just can't live without my handkerchief/ hanky) and placed it inside my purse.

We arrived 25 minutes late at the restaurant where we were to have dinner, but it was ok, I guess since the food wasn't there yet. All the sudden my boyfriend sneezed. One of the old ladies behind him sprayed some old lady perfume which just made everyone's nose itch! So anyhow, boyfriend asked me for my hanky and I said it was in my purse. He wrinkled his nose and his eyes started to squint, I knew a big sneeze would be coming soon. He hurriedly grabbed my hanky and placed it over his mouth and nose and sneezed. And to my surprise I just wanted to die. I'm pretty sure everyone saw what I just saw. It wasn't my hanky he had over his mouth and nose when he sneezed. It was my RED UNDERWEAR!!!! He dropped the red underwear on his plate from shock. And I didn't know whether to pick it up from his plate and stuff it in my purse or crawl under the table and hide. Oh my goodness, I wanted to die right there! I could hear my heart beat faster and slower at the same time. How did my undies get inside my purse? I must have grabbed my red underwear when I was in a hurry and thought it was my red hanky. NOTE TO SELF: NEXT TIME MAKE SURE TO SEPARATE UNDIES FROM HANKIES IN MY DRAWER!!!

So to make matters worst, his brother starts laughing and says, "NICE!" So then everyone starts laughing and I had to explain how that got in there.

On the way home, we were just laughing and laughing, then I blamed it on the boyfriend for rushing me, though I know it was my fault to begin with. lols...

Oh poor my...my misery is your entertainment folks. hahahaha

Mix & Match, Bullets and Pictures

So I have been MIA for about a week. I missed you guys. I had the usual problem, slow internet connection or no internet connection at all. Blogger is blocked from my office computer so boohoo. At least I still have twitter though. So yey! I missed all of you a lot. The past week has been a super hectic one, so I'm just going to blog about a lot of random stuff that happened throughout the week in bullet and picture form.

• I'm sure most of you who watch the news have heard about the typhoons that hit the Philippines. I'd like to thank those who donated and also sent their prayers to the Philippines. I watched the news last week and the Philippines has reached almost a billion pesos in cash donations, so I guess this week we probably already have reached the billion peso mark. Anyhow, what bothers me about the cash donations is this.... On the news last week, a caller asked if the money has already been touched and sent out to those in need. And the lady on the news reported that the have not touched a single cent, they were still "studying" how to make use of the money and how to go about helping everyone. So basically they are sending out the canned goods, clothes, and blankets first. I'm bothered by this. I saw on the newspaper an old man carrying a box of donated goods and another elderly man trying to get hold of the goods and looked like they were about to get in a fist fight. The money from charity keeps getting bigger and bigger and remains untouched! But damn, people need it now. I mean, they don't have to hand out the money on the streets, but they could put it to good news, like relocation projects, or using the money to buy cooked meals to send off to those in need, repair the irrigation systems and streets and homes affected by the floods. But nothing.... the money is getting bigger and bigger and people are fighting over the donated goods. This is so sad

• Last week I went to a corporate outing. Everyone under the company I work for stayed overnight at one of the resorts. We had a lot of team building activities. We had a little over 100 people there. I didn't know we had so much people in this company. But that is good, it means there are 100 people with jobs right? We got free massages and got to use all the aqua sports items for free like jet skiis, banana boat, kayak, everything. I rode on the banana boat again and had water squirt in my eye! Ouch! So I screamed for us to stop, because I just knew the speed boat driver was going to go so fast that we would fall off the banana boat and I couldn't see! I lied and said I couldn't breath and that I had heart problems so they needed to go slowly. Hahahahaha... For the night time activity my group was tasked to do a dance number. We did the SINGLE LADIES dance. My team is teaching me how to dance but I still couldn't do it. errrr... I have two left feet!
  

• My brother and I threw mommy a surprise birthday party. Amyloy, one of mommy's good friends hosted the party in her restaurant. My brother and I also got mommy an italian (white gold, silvery in color) gold laser cut ball earrings and I wrote her a note saying "DEAR MOMMY, HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY. WEAR THESE EARRINGS EVERYDAY SO THE THREE OF US (ME,MOMMY, AND MY BROTHER) WILL ALWAYS BE TOGETHER" and she started crying. Ohhhhh.... She was so surprised. Supposedly mommy and I were supposed to have dinner with three of her friends and 2 of my guests. But that was what she knew. The venue was different and I invited 6 of her friends. These girls have been friends since high school. Anyhow... below are pictures of mom's birthday.

A picture of me and the birthday girl before we go to her surprise birthday party. hehehe

Mommy's cake is on fire! hahahaha. So many candles to blow. hahaha






Group picture with mom's friends. Cheers! Happy Happy Birthday mommy! To many more wonderful birthdays.

• And last thing that's kept me super busy is my artsy self. I'm making headbands. They are super fun that I ended up making a lot more than I needed. I only have one head you know and can't wear all of them. Here are the pictures:

So anyway, I gotta run now. Did I mention I took a leave off from work for 3 and a half days... Ahhh life is good. So today is my last day of leave which means I need to really make the most of it. Going out to a special dinner with my special mom. Mwah...

P.S. I've also been busy with Chictopia.

Curious? Check it out. =)
