Post Bongga Christmas Reunion

Regardless of the short notice, almost a complete attendace of the Bongga barkada @ Redbox, Trinoma and most of all it was another precious moment made possible thru the effort of Rye (thanks thanks!, you’re truly Ravishing to treat us all, sa uulitin ulit HAHAHA).  And take note this was Baby Boo2x’s first gimik with the barkada!   Getting bigger & bigger bongga family!  More power. More babies! 

P.S.  It’s been a very busy tiring week(wherever: office, road [bat ba napakatraffic na naman POTAHHH!], home…).  To the avid viewers of this blog, I apologize HAHAHA…(stay tuned for more overdue posts!)  As for now the brightest idea is to join my two chickas in their good slumber (I’m awake from 1AM for my Boo2x sitting shift). Goodnyt, good morning!

P.S. multiply                   

T.G.I.F.s

Thank God It’s Friday. I’m out of the office (since Wednesday) once again bcoz Dambby’s a year older today.  We just enjoyed a not too sumptuous foodams @ Friday’s Rob Place Manila (originally my plan is to take them @ a resto in Boni High [maiba naman paminsan]).  I’m so apologetic (my really bad).  Hope the mocha mud pie (yum yum) really punctuated the lunch date with a smile.  

So frustrating (especially during this time of the year : Dec to Mar are the months when I needed money to the max level) , the budget for something extra-special was unexpectedly depleted by no other than LeonaH (I give our bloody red civic hatchback her official name today.  Leona - named after the artist and with an H for hatchback).  Costly maintenance almost killed my ass. First rear bearings were replaced. Then the left rear lowering spring busted [naputol pa sa gitna], last Wednesday I had the new set of springs installed and also during this time the disc break pads also juiced, hence should be replaced and the discs machine-rejuvenated…If we can only dictate “No, pls. not this time”… But then again permit me to shout: Thank God I’m Fortunate and right now I’m still alive!  ‘Cause on my way home,  the break pedal got loose! (Break master gave up wahhhhh)  Lucky me I’m still at the slow-moving street of Banawe and I easily managed to stop on the side…

What else? [Radiator drain rubber washer pa]  Keep bleeding love.   Happy Birthday Dambbs! (wish makabawi ako) Tsup3x Tsupahhh

P.S.  Thank you Mommy for preparing the all-time favorite Filipino-style spaghetti (dinner). Da bes! Thanks thanks!     

P.S. for Christmas

Peso Savings for Christmas.  Throughout the year, I’m dropping 5-peso and/or  10-peso coins in our Garfield piggy bank telephone.  From this savings, I have something to give to my godchildren (kaunti lang sila) and bonuses to some people who rendered assistance in some chores (alalay na lang for short).   Amount collected this time was smaller: PHP1,800 compared to 2K++ of the past years.  But well actually this is BIGGER considering this was accumulated for only 6 months since the other half of 2008 I was in Hongkong.  Christmas eve, Che helped me wrapping these coins.  Almost 3 hours in the morning (Christmas Day), what I did was I took snaps similar to the one posted on the left.  And I really had fun, kahit olats ang dating (I want a genuine Canon lens! crap).  Yes isip-bata!  I envy Sam!  She had earned about 4K++ without going out there and begging for aguinaldo.  Special delivery, door-to-door!  Samantalang ako, sinusuyod ko lahat ng kamag-anak at mga ninong at ninang kahit mag-amoy araw, ala pang limang libo ang kita ko.  Bitter…nope.  Ka-miss lang maging bata.

…my paternal leave extended till today (tomorrow back to office).  I’m a father now of two chickas, lacking healthy sleep as well as Baby Maj these past 2 days.  Just this day we had the chance to take her to the doctor, and she was diagnosed having lactose intolerance.  Solution: switch back to her old infant formula.  Good she’s sleeping right now while I’m still awake…yun na ‘yon (that’s all folks).  Good night!  

P.S. Belated Happy Birthday sa tatay ko…hindi ko ata nabati nung kaarawan nya (January 3).

BEAUTIFUL

My BIG BIG BIG THANKS to the Lord our God  (as always) for a wonderful year [2008] He’d given us! One of the best year I believe: {Start of the month, my promotion was granted (gandang buena mano talaga)}, {assigned to an off-shore project (Hongkong) opening lots of firsts and exciting experiences that made me a better living creature (i guess somehow)}, {and mostly I was able to share also with my family and some friends the joy of being a child again in HK Disneyland!}, {lists of big purchases/investment includes: a brand new FD car, repaint of EG hatch (with its brand new shoes) , Samsung LCD TV, KBIII rubber shoes and many more}, { I was able to save  (hephep hooray!) a little which is an old habit that should be continued}, {my family and I were safe, healthy and still breathing free air (at least)} and lastly {the bonggacious of them all to end the year was of course  no other than Baby Maj}.   Wheew, truly amazing! 

Though blemished with unwanted events and shortcomings (and some evil  hanging around),  still these negatives created the perfect reason  to start a brand new year  [2009] of hope, peace and love.  Like for example, as far as I can recall I think this was the first time it rained on a New Year’s eve and what made the occasion more horrible in our hometown, at exactly 12midnight power supply been troubled until 4AM.  Scary as the financial crunch the world’s carrying right now, this should not stop  us believing and living our lives, even it seems impossible.  If we are by God, nothing is impossible.  (sabi ko sa inyo dapat mag-pri-priest ako e)

Yes the sun sets but then it will shine brighter again thru your window in the morning.  Positivity.  Think BIGGER cause BIGGER is BETTER and BETTER is BIGGER! (but remember we can’t have it all & let’s always keep our feet on the ground).  

Manigo, Masaya at Malusog na Bagong Taon po sa ating lahat! 

P.S.  On a brighter note, I created  Photo Boo2x album (grouped by month) in my [multiply].  Of course this will feature  daily snaps of Baby Maj (However I failed already December 19th because of the Sunlife Christmas party, [my bad]) ’cause viewing her thru this as she progresses is LOVE (sulit na sulit pa ang camera ko).
