Changing house..

Nde naman mashado obvious na wala ko ginagawa db?

Last night, bati na ulet kme ni Jeff.. alam nyo ba? Sobrang bait yesterday ni Ilo.. sabi nya sa aken..he went to greenhills to check on the gifts that we wanted for the principal sponsors.. hay..kelangan ko pa pala magalit ng sobra para lang mag kusa sya to help me out sa preps.. ang role lang nya kasi is ipag drive ako.. at financier..=D good thing na realize na nya.. so ang nkita nya is serving tray with decors and glass top ( wish tama pag ka describe ko).. ang mga pics kasi na kay Jeff pa.. =( (kelan kaya nya upload?)

Another thing na pinag usapan namin last night was our house.. last dec 20, I talked to the owner, ang sabi naka pag bayad na daw sa BIR.. and malalaman daw within that week kung kelan mare-release ang title.. sa kabutihang palad.. we talked to her last night.. nagbakasyon daw ang abogado nya na nag lalakad ng papers.. so "baka" within the week pa naming malalaman kung kelang mare release ang title.. baka lang un ah?

If I remember correctly.. august nag start na kme sa pag process, una sa pagibig.. ang daming delay..kesyo ganito, kailangan ganito.. hindi maayos ng broker, so ako na lang ang nag asikaso.. so ok na "sana".. ang problem naman is ung title nga..kailangan daw ipa-reconstitute.. hay.. ang processing started September/October and 2006 na halos.. same old status pa din kme..tama ba yan? Or mainipin lang kme..ako particularly..

Kasi naman..the reason why we wanted to get a property early so that we'll can concentrate on the preps since malapit na nga..and para ma-budget namin ng maayos..tas ganon din..mag cram din kme. =(

Mali ba? Mali ba?

Last week, I took a day off sa work just to find a condo. Condo naman ang option namin ngaun..ung mga nag lipana na rent to own.. sa 3 place na pinuntahan namin.. (one in edsa near mrt kamuning stn, sa may congressional ave.. tapat ng chery grocery, and ung spacio bernardo near Mindanao ave and Sauyo).. pinaka choice na namin ang spacio bernardo…why? Here’s the list of good/ bad points

Edsa kamuning
- mejo mahal
- bare pag turnover ang unit
- crowded. Parang isang building lang na hinati into rooms.

Congressional ave
- mahaaall…2.5M for a 2 bedroom unit
- maganda ang mga units..class
- mahal ang parking slot 495k!!?
- near lang sa cherry, sm, sa lahat.. kasi malapit lang to sa bahay namin.
- We can transfer agad

Spacio
- cheapest among the 3, less that 700k for 30 sq m unit
- furnished pag turnover ang unit, with vinyl tiles, with paint, and kitchen sink.
- We can transfer agad..
- With pagibig assistance.
- Malapit sa bahay namin, sa sm, sa mrt, sa fx stn..


Naisip namin ni Jeff na its better if mag start kme from scratch.. kahit maliit lang muna ung bahay namin, ang imprtante may matitirhan kme na sa amin talaga..Ü plus mas maliit ang amortization ng spacio, kasi nga mas mura sya.. one more thing, since we have plans to go abroad, if maiwan man namin ung unit.. pwede namin sya paupahan..investmet db? Nde sya mahirap ihanap ng occupant kasi nasa QC naman.. hindi rin mahirap punuin ng gamit kasi mas maliit ang space..pero I know, we can accommodate visitors naman..saka na lang siguro kme mag acquire ng mas malaking property pag ok na lahat.. nag sisimula pa lang naman kme.. saying din ung bahay sa cogeo, pero baka hindi talaga laan for us..Ü ngaun ko lang naisip.. if makuha nga namin ung sa cogeo, sana lang tuloy tuloy ang work namin pareho.. what if hinde? Mas malaki ang amortization nun.. mas mabuti na ung sa mas cgurado kme..

hay, life is really a gamble. Lahat kailangan pag isipan mabuti.. hay.. sana lang, ok ung decision namin.. mahirap din I give up ung cogeo, pero mas mahirap naman kung huli na ang lahat, before namin marealize na nde pa namin kaya, not as of this time.. one small step at a time..

almost gone..

After our Christmas breakfast, Jeff left and promised to be back, pero nde na sya naka balik.. may bisita na daw sila.. my joyful day started to be ruined. He didn't keep his promise that he'll be back. Hanging gabi bad trip na ko sa kanya.. ang mean ko no? Stubborn. I was nagging Jeff already.. kung ano-ano na ang mga sinasabi ko sa kanya..small things na hindi sya nag hug-back sa akin on Christmas eve, naalala ko and sobrang tampo talaga ko sa kanya.. and wanted to call off the wedding all because of the petty stuffs, like he lost my credit card bill, was crying all night,. Feeling ko kasi mashado na sya pasaway..na tipong lahat I need to organize for him. Tama nga si geri, buti na lang at love talaga ako ni Jeff.. at 2am I got a text from him, I thought kasi wala na talaga kme.. he texted me na i-work out namin ang mga problema.. was able to sleep na ng maayos bcz of that text.. the thing is, the next morning, got another from him that he's expecting a new set of friends that'll be coming over sa kanila in the afternoon.. eh hello! May usapan po kaya kme na lalabas kme ng Monday..hay.. hayun, sobrang bad trip na naman ako..

he tried na lambingin ako.. he went sa bahay.. and asking me to go with him to prepare food for his friends.. ayoko nga! Sa galit ko sa kanya, at sinabi ng ayoko muna sya maka usap, nasisigawan ko na nga sa galit ko eh.. I locked my self sa room..nde ko na sya ulet nilabas.. don’t care khet pagalitan ako nila mame at nag aaway kme.. ayun, nag sawa din..left a note sa may door ng room ko.. he won't bother me na daw ever.. that he's letting me go.. at that time, I didn't worry..but was neither happy.. I don’t know how to describe what I felt that time.. maybe kasi im still mad at him.. I didn't text him, nothing.

So that afternoon, I spent time with Bryan, since feeling ko pareho kme walang partner..so treat ko nga sya sa jollibee.. and funny, akala ng mga tao, anak ko si Bryan.. Ü nag grocery tuloy ako para makalimutan ang bad trip ko kay Jeff.. but still, makulit pa din.. sinusuyo pa din ako.. pero I was firm. No, nde ako mag papasuyo, dahil nag sasawa na ko sa ugali nya.. he'll promise na naman na he'll change..pero sooner balik naman sa dati..

Hanging gabi nde sya sumuko.. he went pa din sa bahay at 11 pm, when everybody's sleeping already.. he wanted to talk, pero as in ayoko! Since ayaw nya umuwi.. I got his things sa kwarto ko.. lahat sinoli ko sa kanya.. even our engagement ring..sinoli ko sa galit ko.. he was crying, begging.. pero that time ubos na po ata luha ko.. I pushed him away.. I said, I quit. Wedding is cancelled.

The next morning got no text message.. had coffee.. and muni-muni..as in blank ako.. dumating si ate..nag babayad ng utang sa akin.. I said wag na..sabi nya bawi na lang daw sya sa kasal ko..uh-oh.. can't hold back the tears.. pano ko kaya sasabihin na hindi na matutuloy ang kasal? Dati feeling ko, ako lang ang concerned sa kasal namin.. now my sister remided me of the wedding I'm planning to cancel.. sinasadya nyo ba? Tas ang all my life, na madalang ko na marinig sa radio.. is now playing! Hello! Christmas songs kaya patugtugin nyo! =(

Went to the office at lunch time.. kakatamad as usual.. napansin ni Monica na swollen ang mata ko.. sabi ko na lang.. sobra sa tulog..pero actually, if they knew me better, they can easily tell na umiyak ako.. had a chat with Gerard.. a married friend.. ayun..share ko lang ung situation ko.. sarap pa nga sapukin eh.. kinampihan pa si Jeff.. at ako pa ang mali.. nde ko matanggap na ako pa ang mali.. ang tanong ko.. blet kelangan parati ako umintindi..eh ako na nga dehado? Bket ako pa ung masama.. eh ako ung nasasaktan? Madrama na kung madrama.. pasensya na.. i thought I knew everything..

Hay.. sabi ni Gerard, ganon daw talaga..if mahal mo isang tao, tanggapin mo sya.. and I must learn to accept the fact na he'll spend more time with his friends and family.. since last naman na daw un..feeling ko kasi im the second or third priority na lang kay jeff.. he would remember me lang if wala na pumapansin sa kanya, and galit na nanay nya sa kanya.. hay.. corny, pero that's what I felt.. sabi nga sa isang comment sa blog ni reeyuh.. we are all fools pag dating sa love.. sabi pa ni Gerard, its better to lose your pride with the one you love that lose the one you love..

Maybe Jeff knew that line..that he really doesn't want to lose me.. kasi after an hour, manong guard is handing me a bouquet or flowers.. I was asking pa nga kung for whom ung flowers.. eh ako lang naman babae sa area ko.. 6 pink roses, perfectly arranged to melt anyone's heart.. when I opened the card, a sorry message.. Jetaime..reading the last word, alam ko na sa kanya galing.. and mejo hindi ko lang naman napigil ang umiyak.. I was sobbing on Jass' shoulders.. saka lang nila nalaman na we we're having problems.. and that I was not wearing my ring.. Sending flowers is totally not an Ilo style. but he did it still just to win me back..

Last night we talked already.. and told him I felt so tired na..and I hope hindi na maulit ung misbehavior ko.. hope ma overcome pa rin namin lahat ng trials along the way..

Sobra haba na pala ng blog ko.. thanks for taking time..Ü

Christmas 2005

We first thought and agreed that we'll celebrate this Christmas with our families separately, since this will be our last Christmas with them. But I guess things just happen as they should.

Morning of the 24th, got up at 9 am and prepared my ingredients since im cooking puto cake again. Despite the fact that I'm having dysmenorhea, just need to finish cooking these stuff since order to ng friend ng mommy ko..=P good thing my brother Ian was there to help me with the icing mixture and Jeff arrived just on time, to help us too. I guess he enjoys cooking with me..=D we spent the whole afternoon cooking puto and leche flan. Grabe kakapagod! Ü at 6pm, Ate Precy (my soon to be mother in law) and Grace (Jeff's sister) arrived. May wine session kasi si ate Precy and mame, alam mo na, ang mga mag kumare, miss ang chikahan pag ganitong season..=D sandali lang sila, they left din at 8 pm. Jeff didn't stay na din.. since we've talked about it that he'll spend Christmas with his family.

At home, mame and dade enjoyed the videoke.. take note, got a video of bryan singing alone. As if alam nya kinakanta nya, Unchained melody lang naman. Ü nakaka tuwa talaga pag may mga bata sa bahay.. I took a couple of pictures of Bryan and Arrianne ( my niece)..hehe! si arrianne baligtad, mag smile lang sya after ng flash ng camera hahaha!

After dinner, natulog na si mame, lasing eh..Ü si dade naman ka-session naman uncle ko hehe! Kaya at 11pm tulog ang mga tao sa bahay..usually naman talaga mas gising ang mga tao sa amin pag New Year.. thankful na rin ako dahil kumpleto ang family namin, walang may sakit, everyone's healthy. Though I don't have a gift yet for everybody.. bawi ako sa new year..I'm grateful for my sister too, since she was able to recover.. sa lahat ng mga naging problema nya..i can tell we're closer to each other ngaun.. at least complete ung family nya on Christmas eve..

Since tulog ang mga tao sa amin, Jeff invited me over..since sinabi din naman daw ni ate Precy na doon na lang ako sa knila..kasi alam nya na matutulog sila mame..=D

Kung gaano katahimik sa bahay, yun naman ingay kina Jeff..well mas marami naman kasi sila..at mas magana kumain mga tao sa kanila..Ü so napakain ulet ako..pero I wonder bket nde pa rin ako tumataba, khet malakas ako kmain..hehe! had a great time with them, puro kulitan ang maririnig mo.. buti na lang walang pikon sa knila.. at ako naman ang taga saway sa kuya nila na sobrang lakas mang asar!! Ü

After that, hinatid na ako ni Jeff, and this time I heard him mag paalam kay Ate Precy na he'll sleep over sa amin..

We never planned this Christmas, that we'll end up na makasama pa pala kme..isn't it great, waking up on a Christmas morning with your mahal? Ü so many blessings I got and I can never say thank you enough to the Lord for all of these.

Morning of 25th
We woke up at 9:30, kasi I heard na nasa baba na sila ate, his husband and si arrianne. This time of the year really makes wounds heal. Before kasi not in good terms kame with Kuya Bytes ( ate's husband) pero good thing he went over and sya ang lumapit kina daddy ko..a form of respect na din and pag papakumbaba..Ü I greeted him merry chirsmas when I went down. I showed arrianne a dancing santa (surprise gift sa aken ni Jeff before xmas). We had a family breakfast. Ang saya saya ko that time. Kumpleto family..and kasama ko si Jeff. Ü parang I don't want this to end.. as in freeze!

The big escape!

Last Saturday we went to Leo's Leisure Park to relax and unwind while celebrating our anniversary and we had soooo much fun over that weekend..may hang-over pa nga ako ng bakasyon..=D

Grabe we already left the house when I realized that I don't have my map with me. Ay sus pano ba yon? So mega takbo pa ako sa isang computer shop just to print it.. hay, and at that time Jeff had no idea kung saan kme pupunta, basta alam lang nya we're off to pampanga. We are both excited sa trip,and feeling ko nag mamadali si jeff mag drive.. kaso nag wi-wiggle ung car pag sobrang bilis na..kaya everytime na ganon.. kinakantahan ko sya ng "wiggle it.. just a little bit! " haha! =D but anyways, we're safe naman when we got to the place.

The place is beautiful, at first nga I thought nde sya ma appreciate ng honey ko..good thing he did. Malapit lang ung place, we were expecting nga na 2 hours pa ung travel time namin from San Fernando exit..then gulat na lang kme, ayan na pala ung entrance nung resort/park. Kita na namin agad ang mga horses and sheep na nasa field.

After organizing our things, we rented a boat and fishing rods. Nakaka tawa! kasi ako ung sa unahan na part then sa likod si Jeff. Eh maliit lang ung bangka namin.. haha! Tawa ko ng tawa kasi parang natatakot ako, naalala ko ung kina harbie na mas mabigat ung nasa likod ng bangka.. haha! Tas bawal ang extra movements.. kasi nga baka mag vertical ung bangka namin..=D tas ung pag paddle pa namin.. parang saliwaan kme? Buti na lang at umaandar kme..malaki ung lake/pond.. at naikot na namin ung buong lake eh wala pa din kme huli..=D it was our first time na mag fishing at si Jeff ang taga lagay ko ng bait. Hehe! Nag picture picture din kme while nasa bangka.. na tipong I would request Jeff to paddle more so maka punta kme dun sa mga angle ng gusto namin.. at feeling ko lahat ng kuha ko eh sablay..=D when it started to rain a bit, paddle na kme pabalik, kasi baka bigla lumakas nag ulan eh pag tawanan pa kme dahil sa pag mamadali mag paddle pabalik hehe! =D

After boating, we rested a while ang walked around.. relaxing talaga..sayang lang dahil cloudy, hindi kme maka pag star gazing nung gabi..then another first, our first time for a full body massage..=D sarap grabe..tas ang cool pa kasi ung room na nakuha namin is a fan room, no need for an aircon and under it, you would hear the continuous flow of running water..kasi sa harap naman is clear water pool.. o divah? Sobrang relaxing talaga..after the massage we had our dinner.. hay, can u imagine.. inaawat na ko ni Jeff ngaun sa pagkain? Grabe mejo creepy pa nga eh,, kasi natatakot ako whenever mag move ung mga bamboo trees.. tapos nung moring.. nagulat kme kasi ang lakas ng bumagsak sa roof ng room namin.. mga ibon pala.. ung ostrich daw! Haha! =D

After breakfast, ayan na.. gising na ang mga animals.. ung ostrich, naku po! Nang hahabol, buti na lang at naka tago agad ako sa malapit na mga shed! Tas try ulet kme magisda ni Jeff..this time, kelangan may mahuli kme para may pang lunch kme..=D


So tagal na naming palipat-lipat ng pwesto..tagal na din naming nag aantay.. lastly lumipat kme sa isang area na wala mashado current kasi nga dulong part na nung pond.. akalain mo ba naman na may nahuli si Jeff na isang malaking tilapia, as in huge! Kasi sobrang nag bend ung fishing rod..and hindi na maiangat ni Jeff kasi nga ambigat nya..I turned my back for a sec to get the cam, and ayush! The fish escaped!! Arrrggghh! Muntik ko maitulak si jeff sa pond sa sobrang inis talaga! It such a big catch then naka wala.. mas malaki pa sa mga nahuli the day before, kasi they had a Fishing competition..waahh! kainis talaga. We tried again, hoping mahuli namin sya ulet, pero feeling ko.. un na yun.. ayoko talaga umalis don unless maka huli kme ulet, pero its already 12nn and we had to leave na..sayang..=( d bale, babalikan namin ung huge tilapia na yun..

It's such a great weekend for us, and a memorable anniversary. Last anniversary na mag bf. Hay kakabitin ung bakasyon..=D wala kme ginawa kundi mag tawanan, at pagtawanan ang mga sarli namin..hehe! we're looking forward for more quality time together..ilang months na lang.. and finally we'll be staying together.

* upload ko po next time ung pics..
