We're two steps closer to our wedding! Yehey!
License: check!
Rings: check!
Grabe, totoo na ito! Haha. Nakakaexcite! We have yet to decide on the date though. I think we still have to file an application for civil marriage. Nabasa ko sa isang forum na ang cost is around P3,500. Already asked mommy for help on this (not financially). Maybe it would be more feasible to have the ceremony in Laguna instead of QC. We'll see.

Napagana ko rin sa wakas ang MMS ko! Was able to send flowers to B via MMS. Hehe. Coolness!

rock-a-bye baby
I was supposed to have my hair cut (and curled) today but I decided to just go home and spend the whole day (chatting) with my boyfriend. Pag long distance relationship, dapat you make time. So I did.
At around 6pm, after he went out with Denice and Mike, ito na siya:
Haha. Sarap ng tulog!
Hindi yan ang unang beses na naka-on webcam nya at online sa YM pero tulog siya. I like watching him sleep. He lives up to my term of endearment for him: baby. Hehe. Para siyang baby matulog. Ang peaceful, ang himbing.
Mas okay pa rin though kung katabi ko siya. =)

Uber late ko na nakita to so ngayon ko lang gagawin. Was tagged by Selena. =)
List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your LiveJournal/blog along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they’re listening to.
1. Oo by Up Dharma Down - Perfect song for someone who was left by a lover and couldn’t get over it. This would’ve been my song had I been in that situation. Thank God I’m not.
2. Such Great Heights by The Postal Service - A song from Grey’s Anatomy. It’s about waiting for your loved one to come home.
3. Blue Jeans by Rocksteddy - The band’s remake of an APO song. Saya lang pakinggan.
4. Taralets by Imago - The band’s really gone bubblegumpop! Although Aia’s dancing (in the video) turns me off, the song is catchy and I like it.
5. Sugod by Sandwich - I like the video! Astig!
6. Nothing in this World by Paris Hilton - This is my guilty pleasure. Nakakaindak lang. I don’t like Paris at all.
7. Leave the Pieces by The Wreckers - Country song featuring Michelle Branch and the band. Gusto ko lang din.
Kayo ng taya Iggy, Louie, Tracy, Gladys, Moks, Kitch and B!

workstation
I was feeling bleh yesterday morning until I saw a new flat-screen monitor on my desktop. Suddenly, sumaya ako at naexcite magbukas ng PC. Nakakatuwa! Hehehe. While I'm at it, isheshare ko na hitsura ng aking workstation.
Serious stuff--for work, of course, which is the main reason I'm here.
Pampahappy stuff--para naman pag nabubuyset ka na sa writers eh may makikita kang maganda sa paningin at pampalambot ng kutis. Hahaha.
Nakakaloko stuff--para lang mangulit. Hehe.
Yun lang. =)

k for kasal
First, the marriage license.
I filed the application last Tuesday, just before I left for Hong Kong. Our contact said I should call him on the 20th to remind him that the license should be released on the 23rd. Sana lang makuha ko na kagad ang license. Ang mahal ng talent fee ng contact naming ito!
Second, the rings.
Turned out B doesn't like the design. But he doesn't have a choice now (hehe). Sabi ko, let's just think of it as something for better or for worse, whether you like it or not. Hehehe.
A ring's just a ring, after all. We're getting married and that's what's important.
Third, the church wedding.
Christine told me I should aim to have a church wedding. Jec too.
Okay. Have to talk with B about this pa.
Oh, and Aimee gave me a W@W wedding primer. She's already given me the Wedding Essentials compilation of best weddings. Really useful references.
Thanks bozz! =)

oh and
I found our ring. It's similar to the one I posted. Got it for around P10k+ lang. It's 18k white and yellow gold.
Salamat kay Ems! Hehe. =)
Salamat kay Ems! Hehe. =)
am back
From Hong Kong. My favorite city so far. Hehe.
I love Hong Kong. Feeling ko di na ako turista dun dahil thrice na ako nakapunta. Minsan though, feeling ko nakakapagod ang sobrang bilis ng takbo ng buhay dun. Parang mabilis akong tatanda. Nacompare ko na siya sa Singapore and mas fast-paced sa HK at mas mataas din ang lahat! Ang mahal ng pamasahe, ang mahal ng food. But I can live in either.
Coming home is bitter-sweet. Bitter kasi nakakainis balikan ang mga wreckless at walanghiyang drivers sa Pinas. Biro mo, que mahal-mahal ng airport taxi (na itetake mo dahil either yun or maghanap ka ng taxi sa labas ng NAIA) tapos magpaparamdam pa ang drivers na mag-tip ka. Kahapon P750 ang binayad ko. Lekat, tama na ang sampung pisong tip.
Isa pang nakakafrustrate eh yung pag naisip mo na mas maliit ang HK at SG sa Pinas pero mas maunlad naman ng madaming notches. Haler, parang kayang-kaya natin maachieve yun. Siguro dapat lang ioverhaul ang gubyerno natin. Puro corrupt na ang nakaupo dun eh. Buyset. Nagbabayad ka ng tamang tax but no, di mo maramdaman yung tax na yun na sana ibinili mo na lang ng sapatos o damit.
Nakakalungkot lang isipin na sobrang hirap ng bansang ito. Nakakaawa din mga Pinoy kasi masisipag naman tayo, talented, magaling. Pero madalas shortchanged tayo--mababa sweldo, mataas presyo ng mga bilihin. Kulang na kulang napoprovide na services ng gubyerno natin. '
Pero siempre, itong third-world country na ito ang home ko. Sabi nga ni Christine, "You're always welcome here, Kat." It's always good to be home.

God sent me a nudge
You start the day, thinking all is shitty. There's tons of work to do. You're far away from the one you love. Manila's still in a state of calamity. Our politicians still aren't getting any work done. Our president's playing billiards with Bata and Django. You buy breakfast and the cashier didn't hear you wanted pancakes only, no coffee so she makes a mistake and re-punches your order. You order something for lunch and it takes forever before your order is brought to you.
Then as you walk back to the office building, you pass through a couple of guys who smell good.
Then when you get to the elevator, you find yourself standing between two cute guys who smell good as well.
Suddenly you feel better and think, hey, the world's still a pretty nice place--with lots of goodlooking, good-smelling guys.
I almost heard God telling me "hija, be thankful. You have a sense of sight to ogle at mabango-looking guys and perfect olfactory sensitivity to smell their Hugo Boss and Ralph Lauren's."
Hahahaha. I know God has a sense of humor.
Thank YOU po. : )
And thank You for the best-smelling guy of all, whose Clinique Happy for Men I can smell even if he's miles away. : )

we found our ring
Nagpunta kami sa Soo Kee, Lee Hwa Jewellery (na ubiquitous sa SG na parang Jollibee sa Pinas) at iba pang jewelry stores sa Singapore pero puro brochures lang ang nakita namin. Masyadong mahal ang rings sa SG kaya we decided na sa Hong Kong or sa Manila na lang bumili or magpagawa.
Ito na design napagkasunduan namin:
Yellow and white gold celtic ring. : ) Mahirap linisin pero kebs. Hehehe.

Because there's not much time to blog about Singapura, I'll just post some pictures. : )
Siempre, the main reason I went there last month is to celebrate B's birthday. Ayan ang birthday boy with his mocha cake from Breadtalk. Surprise yan sa kanya ng kanyang friends na si Marjon at Christine. Ang ganda ng cake. May coffee cup sa ibabaw na gawa sa dark chocolate. Tapos merong icing sa loob. Yum!
Ito ang birthday celeb ni B sa Geylang apartment. Ang saya kasi nakasama namin (from left) si Lyn, Denice, Jec at Allen. Si Mike pots ni Denice ang kumuha ng picture. Ang saya ng party na ito. Although nung huli nahulasan kami ng todo dahil sa weird housemate ni bebe. Haha.
Ito ang mga meryenda namin ni B sa SG. Usually, Old Chang Kee lang na sotong (squid) heads. Squid heads are fried until they're uber crisp tapos nakatuhog sa stick. One stick is S$1.10.
Isa pang favorite namin is Shihli Taiwan crispy chicken. Unlike chicken nuggets or KFC hot shots, itong Taiwan crispy chicken ay makikita mong galing sa manok talaga tapos nagtatanggalan pa yung breading. Binubudburan to ng chilli powder kaya maanghang tas nakapack sa paper bag (yung may Chinese characters sa pic). Tas stick lang ibibigay for making tuhog the manok. Hehe. Isang pack nito ay S$3.20.
Tas I tried din New York Pizza. Mas masarap pa din ang Yellow Cab at Brooklyn natin.
Gusto ko rin ang soya bean milk from Jollibean. Note the similarity with Jollibee's font. : ) S$1.20 ang isang regular na baso.
After lunch, usually nagpupunta kami sa Han's para magkape at kumain ng Kaya toast. Sarap ng kape dito at maiitapat sa Starbucks. Mahal kasi Starbucks sa SG, compared sa Starbucks sa Pinas ha. Ang kape sa Han's ay S$1.20 per cup.
Yung kaya ay version ng mga Singaporeans ng coco jam. Light lang yung tamis niya at malalasahan mo yung coco milk. Sarap sa toast with butter.
Ito pa isang sobrang nagustuhan kong food sa SG--inihaw na stingray! Inihaw siya tapos may sambal (chilli and tomatoes) sa ibabaw. Ang dip niya ay parang kimchi. Sarap nito! Yung fried prawn noodles masarap din. Sa Glutton's Bay ito, sa Esplanade.
Ayan, kakalakad namin ni B, nakita namin ang Manila! Manila Street that is. Malapit ito sa National Library ng SG na uber ganda! Parang mall! Hehehe. Kung estudyante ako, maeenganyo ako magaral dun.
Yun lang po. : )
