Its been a while.......

It's been almost 2 months since I arrived and I have mixed emotions about being here. On one hand, I am super excited about the new experiences and all the new people I'm going to meet. On the other hand, I miss my family, I miss my friends and I miss my life. Here are some new pics, just wanted to post some fotos i have recently:


We just got married last April 12, 2006, this is our wedding pics.

We went to south florida last week, spent a few days there, i met Gil's brother Mark and his family.


Nathalie, Mark, Michelle,Gil and me..

Some new people i met:
Me and Karrah, and Melanie.

So that was then...

FINALLY, i found pictures from my last week in Manila. Here they are:

Dorky smile..............................

The past 3 weeks..............

In the past 3 weeks, i tried to take the most of my time in Manila as i could, with family and few friends... - hanging out with family and friends before i finally say goodbye to them... i wont be able to see them for a year or two =( . Before i left, i have eaten my favorite food, went to places i wont be able to go to for awhile and i went partying as hard as i can.

So now here i am in Florida, I dont know anyone other than my fiance Gil, i dont have a car, a job or anything to do yet really. I miss Manila already, i miss my family, my pet, friends, neighbors.. (although i dont get along with them that much, i miss the noisy neighborhood during my afternoon nap). Anyway, i feel that i found something here that i could never find in Manila... peace and quiet?... space?..... and silence... all of the that.......


There's a lot to get used to and some are the most bratty things, i do household stuff in manila, but one thing thats hard for me is the kitchen stuff, i cant cook, now i have to cook and prepare my own food, which i am not used to.......... you know, my mom who's always there who can do it for me. Im such a lazy bitch sometimes, thats one thing i need to unlearn over here. Ahhhh, i told myself the first 2 weeks to relax, i will be fine and get used to where i am right now.

It was sad the day i left, although i dont show my emotions to anyone, im good with hiding it. My tears wont fall when everyone is there, i can control it. Even the day i was about to leave, i was able to hold my tears. I rode with Edward, (my sister's boyfriend for 4 years)going to the airport, with my niece and my sister Rea in the backseat. It was sad, i dont even know when im gonna see them again.


I started crying uncontrollably, while i was already on the plane when it started to take off, i was sitting next to 3 senior women, i really didnt care if they hear me crying, then they started to notice me and asked me if everythings allright....... "I'm fine" i said and smiled to them... and i heard my cellphone beep and i cried more after i read the message....... anyway...... i know its sound ma-drama... i made it safe to Florida peeps!

Oh well, greetings to everybody! I miss you all! i'l be home before you know it!...........


This foto was taken last Saturday (Mar.25) with Alma (first pinay i met here) It was her birthday. Im happy i was able to meet a few nice people here.



Saturday night, parteh, parteh!!! Peace out Philippines..................

Partied all night........

Moi, posing in front of Rockwell Tent after the Intima Fashiow show, we went to Temple after with friends Yabo and Pam. I had fun as always when Yabo is present in every night out, i haven't parteh so hard for a while... last weekend i have all my energy to dance crazily, with a sore legs and feet the next day.... but its alright..... partying releases all my stress and sadness..... But I think my "sad eyes" are started to sparkle again.... oh well... a few more pics....


Oh and i got a comment from my previous post about my driving violations, im sorry if it sounded like i assumed all cops are corrupt.... i didnt say ALL of them.... "some" of them are "kotong cops" {mulcting cops}... I am now a good citizen of my own country... I FOLLOW all the traffic Rules... *winkwink*

"interesting to know that you had a driver's license in the first place when, i think based on your blog on "driving violations" -- it seems you don't know how to drive. or you know how to even just a little bit, but the problem is you cannot interpret road signs (bad way to get behind the wheel). worse, you claim that you've been driving for 2 yrs, and you still violate road laws. and also not all police officers and MMDA personnel are corrupt. happy driving! --Posted by Anonymous to My Life Adventures at 2/11/2006 07:34:58 AM "

Love month...and something to bitch about...

Its been awhile since my last update, i have been busy the past few weeks... i finally done everything and i have some few things to bitch about..... but il tell you later....
Anyway, its LOVE month.... my second Valentines with my bebe together.... and last one apart. Hmmm.. what i can do this
Valentine without my baby here, hmmm im going to make a "fantasy box!" where i will write down all my fantasies in seperate pieces of paper.... fold them, put them all in a box and when im with my baby [soon], and when that steamy mood strikes........ i could pull one out.......... I love you, Gil.........



You are my bestfriend, my hero and my guardian angel.
You are my best friend, now you know the good and bad in me,
and you still there for me knowing how unreasonable i was.
You know how silent i can be, howcrazy i am.
Remember there's only one perfect coffee for us,
for you its Grande Starbucksmocha frap. for me its the smaller size.
You know my imperfection, my evil side,darkest personality, my fears
and dreams yet loves and cares just the same.
You've been so sweet, loving and caring.
I love the way you grab my hand while we walked and when
you looked at me and smiled at me i feel a gentle dance that
makes my heart flutter. I heard your loving voice i just tend to
lose all thoughts and just listento you.

I stopped believing in Prince Charming, Superman, and
Knight in shining armor.I dont need anyone of them.
You are my hero my personal guardian angel...
You stayed the same person to inspite of everything,
you know how to forgive me whether its a big or small mistake.
You are a amazing person that no matter how sad a circumtances
maybe,you will always find a way to turn it around.
I love your thoughts, your dreams, your hopes,your wishes for
the future. I see you brightly in my life showing me my path,
lifesjourney could get really dark but you were still there to guide
when i am lost, i cansee you shining into the dark.
Thanks for the sweet poem, it brighthens my day and it makes
my smile remembering each single word you wrote. i wish to
hear your laughs reach my ears again,hear your voice calling my name.

That was an old message poem for Gil.... ..........

Anyway, heres something to bitch about.... i noticed this everywhere i go... while queuing.... for that high coveted visa.... ATM machines... post office.... anywhere... where i have to queue...

Sometimes i wonder why some people take so much time pulling out money from the ATM, i was running behind... someone was withdrawing the whole bank's money.. thats what i thought.... why can she do her transaction in a minute??

And there was this guy, that line up to close, almost touching my butt! while queing in the fast food counter, i was feeling shitty and tired and hungry... i just gave him a bad look... like stay away from me look!..... and another thing that irritates me... is his loud voice while his mouth was close to my ear! AND his repulsive bacd breath........ grrrrr.... so i just queued on the other counter.... ahhhh.. LEAve me alone!

And there was this girl... on the fast food counter...... fondling and texting and showing off her hi tech mobile phone while ordering on the counter.... while the queue was long.... tsk tsk tsk....

This one i really hate.... People that smoke while there is a big sign just in front of them "NO SMOKING" and throwing there tiny cigarettes on the street.... grrr.... would you like me to drop that cigarette butt in your mouth? better huh?

Sigh....... these are just the tedious things in life, people in general..... yes, I talking strangers!.... it happens everywhere i know....

Oh, to the readers, im sorry if you think it sounds offensive... this happens... really...

Good Bye 2005, Im ready 2006!

December, December again........

***sigh*** Christmas is coming, it's getting colder already! I can feel it, i was at the terrace last night, i remembered 'bout last year. It is still clear in my head, how i felt that night when i saw the person i once loved, i was close to passing out,weakening knees... i felt someone punched me in the stomach. But the respect still remains, everyone is free to make choices, i dont, and i cant own anyone. "Sorry, i didnt tell you sooner" that message still marked in my head. Like i said, the respect remains, i instinctively trust people because i know this world is not filled with wicked poeple.. i dont want to see the world like that... TAMA NA!!!
Oh well, what i wanna do now.... i wanna go around major bazzar for shopping! Experience the manila traffic, see nice people smiling at each other, kids laughing holding theyre candies, I love this holiday season. but dont forget to share blessing with people who are in need.

Driving Violations

First violation
I was driving already for more than 2 years now. My first was yellow-lane violation, it was sunday and i thought there were no MMDA watching. I was heading to Ayala, i was in Edsa near Robinsons Galleria and will make a U-turn going to Ayala. I was just a new driver and i really dont pay attention with "rules", i didnt realized that i was on the yellow lane [i was already taught by my brother in law about road diciplines and rules when driving], and so since it was sunday, i thought there will be no MMDA around and i was surprised out of nowhere... an MMDA was waving at me, i just wanted to rev up and go fast as i could but, i was scared that they will gonna chase me, so i pulled over. As i opened the window, [i didnt mind sounding stupid, and made a lame excuse that i didnt know those rules are also applied on sunday]. I was also thinking about giving him money {maybe he's one of the "kotong cops" {mulcting cops} hehehe, but i got scared he will put me in jail if i offer him money.. hehehehe.... [i dont know maybe he's one of very few real good cops].Oh well, it was my first time to get caught, [i didnt know what other excuse to tell]...so ended up giving him my license.

Second Violation
Hmmmm... second time around [yellow lane violation],again at EDSA... if im not mistaken in span of less than 2 months [hahaha], same violation. I dont know, i just always forgot this rule... hehehehe... and correct me if am wrong, that when you had 3 consecutive same violations, your license will be confiscated? Anyway, again an MMDA waved at me, they we're 3 of them... again i pulled over, i know, i violated a rule, so then again, i ended up giving him my license. I was in a bad mood and not in the mood to make a story or to lie since my day was shitty.

Third violation
[Swerving] This happened when i took my brother in law to the airport i was with my sister and her kids. On our way home, i got confused which is the right way.. hahaha... [you know how bad i am with directions]. it was easy going to the airport as my bro in law tell me the directions... but on our way back home, it was a little difficult... hahaha.... [oh my 11 years old nephew remembered which way, he got better memory than mine.. hahaha] so we were heading back home and i really didnt know where to turn, and so my nephew said "Tita vie, right turn ka na!" {illegal swerving} and then this time a lady MMDA waved at me, so i pulled over. She seemed easy to talk to, so i tried to make excuses, that i got confused where to turn and which is the right way going to EDSA... but then she wanted to see the license. I asked my sister, if she have 100 pesos. [hahahaha]. Yeah, i knew she wanted money... she's one of "kotong cops". Hahaha, and then she said, i can give her money but in a way that no one will notice that i am giving her money... so i enclosed the money inside my license plastic holder.. and she returned my license..

Fourth Violation
This time its not about the yellow lane. i learned already to follow that rule. This time the "ONE WAY rule" somewhere in Makati, you know the one way streets around makati, confusing for me... [hahahaha], but i know it is a one way, it was already pass 3am, so i thought theres no MMDA watching, i was unlucky that night... behind me was a cop in a huge motorcycle which i didnt noticed. {damn, at 3am..} but my emotions was shitty that night, i acted that i was really tired and wanted to sleep, and feel really sorry for heading the wrong way, i almost cried a little bit, just a little bit but no tears falling from my eyes, the emoting came out naturally cos i feel really shitty that night. And so they let me go. [bleh]

Fifth Violation
There was a time I ran a "red light", only when its really late like pass 12am. This happened recently,i think it was past 2 am, i was heading ortigas extension. i ran a red light and i thought there were no MMDA, again... just saw a "Surprise, i'm here" cops.. was waving with his flash light...i slow down a little bit and smiled and waved... and i rev up and go really fast as i can.. hahaha... lucky me, they didnt chase me... [bleh]...

3 options if i encounter an MMDA
1. Make an excuse, story. Beg. or get mad
2. Cry
3. Flirt {so far never done flirting with cops] hahaha...


Message to the MMDA.The painted yellow lanes on the EDSA highway?! where buses are supposed to stay, if they stray out they will be arrested?!! BUT watch EDSA anytime of the day, buses strays out ofthe yellow lanes and no one is arresting them even if they are in plain sight of traffic aides.They should be arrested... bastards....

Oh well this is PHILIPPINES... oh is this for real?!!! how come i didnt get any tickets?!!!




The MMDA has identified the five most common traffic infractions of private vehicles as: yellow lane violation with a fine of 300 pesos;[i paid 300php twice, hmmm, i learned this rule] disregarding traffic signs, 150 pesos;[hmmmm... cops, let me go of my crying chuba.. hahaha, bleh..] obstruction, 150 pesos; and swerving, 500 pesos [hmmm, glad the lady cop accept my 100 pesos "kotong" offer... hehehe.]

MTV Music Summit Tour

I witnessed the rockin' performance of "Mig Ayesa" [Rockstar INXS Finalist] last night. He's hot! Definitely a hottie...
I got an VIP ticket from my friend Marc, who invited to watch the concert. I wanted to see Mig perform live and some other pinoy bands, like... Cueshe, Imago and Stonefree. Too bad i missed the performances from Stonefree and Cueshe, god damn battery of my digicam got drained. We looked for a nearest convenience store to buy a battery, we walked for like 20-30 mins.... Glad that i was able to catch Mig Ayesa before my battery got drained.

Hottie, hottie.... so hottie...

Rachel, Adrian and Me..

Yeah, Mig looks exhausted after his performances,[as you see in his foto] he really rockz, but Mig was really nice and amiable to everybody and accomodated every photo request. He gave such a kick ass performance last night.
