It's the end of summer as we know it

Summer has officially ended, by the last week of April. Imagine that? We seriously need to think about Global warming.

I hate skipping a good sunny day at the beach. Crossing my fingers and praying for a trip to the beach soon! Please.

Pacman is really D MAN!



What a sight! Hatton didn't know what hit him, well, he probably did... Surely wasn't expecting such a quick fight. Congrats Pacquiao! Wooooohoooo!


Since I'm still figuring how to upload a video from youtube.com, please go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FxfHWTETT_o

Late bloomer

I grew up watching my Mom and my Aunts do their make-up before they head out the door. I found the process enthralling, I would hang out my Mom's room while she does her face, watching her every move. I liked to witness her transformation, from plain Mama to a nicely made-up working Mama.

The whole process though I found tedious. When I started working and could officially wear make-up, I just didn't had any interest in make-up. Sometimes I would do face powder or lipstick. But most of the time, I would face the world without anything on my face.

That is until about 6 months ago. I started really liking this face powder by Maybeline. And then my friend gave me a really nice make-up brush from Body Shop for my birthday. When I was in HK last February, I killed time in Sasa. They have really interesting make-up and everything that went with it. I ended up buying a set of eye shadow and liquid eye liner. A good friend is my personal supplier of make-up, she's been giving me lipstick, lip shine and recently eye shadow.

Now I enjoy the process of putting on make-up. I only have one nice brush though, and would really love to win this from http://beautyforaliving.blogspot.com/.

I read in one article (totally forgot from where) that even when the world is experiencing recession, lipstick sales are still up. It goes to show that in depressing times, there's more reason to put on make-up. I personally find myself feeling better after I put on make-up. Somehow it lifts my spirit, probably because it helps to feel beautiful in these trying times.

Before time stops tomorrow

It's the eve before the Pacquiao-Hatton fight and we're about ready as we can be. There's a live telecast in a nearby hotel and the hubs got his ticket already. For P500, he watches the game live, with free beer and food. Not bad, I think. ShangriLa Makati offers P1,200 for the live coverage and buffet food.

I'm staying put though, I'll live without watching it live.... unlike the hubs hehe! I'd just wait for the delayed telecast like the rest of the Filipinos.

We usually hear the 10am mass at our church. The fight's just about the same time, so we'll have to hear mass tomorrow afternoon. I can just imagine even our priest wouldn't want to celebrate the mass at 10! By 10am tomorrow, streets will be deserted, all Filipinos would be stuck in front of their TVs, rooting and praying for Pacman. I know I would be.

Good luck Pacman! The whole nation is already very proud of you. Just don't run for congress hehe!

Kids are so funny!

“Mom, there’s a party in my tummy.” - Said my little one after we had lunch at home. Asked him what he meant, he said that he’s already full and doesn’t want to take another bite. =)

“Ya, I ate this morning.” – Answered my little one after we caught him licking something from his finger, which came from his nose…. It turned out to be his booger. =D

“Five little monkeys jumping on the bed, one fell off and bumped his head. Mommy called the doctor. The doctor said, No more monkeys jumping on the bed.” – My little one suddenly sang out while we were on our way to pick up his Dad. That was a Tuesday, he memorized that song just the day before. =)

I just love how kids are so honest. I pray and wish that the little keeps being honest, even when he's grown up.

Not a "Smart" broadband after all

I've been a Smartbro user for over a year now. I wanted to switch to PLDT DSL for the longest time, as friends said that it's definitely better than Smartbro...but I had a one year lock-in with Smartbro. And when that passed, I just didn't have time to go to PLDT.

But this is definitely it! We've been having really lousy connection for the past 3 days. Either I get a "Cannot find server" error or connection is extremely, superbly s.....l......o......w. And so I called the Customer Service hotline, I was on hold for about 10 mins. And all the girl could tell me was to observe the connection in the next 24 hours. WHAT. DO. YOU. MEAN?! Seriously?!

Tomorrow is a new day. And hopefully a start to a new, fast internet service life!
