Just got home. Went out to see Sherlock Holmes. It was a nice movie. I think there's a part 2. Next time, we won't see movies in tampi. The seats are not very comfy. We love the ones in cathay better. We'll explore downtown east next time.

Went to The Cathay to see the movie Avatar. It was a great movie! Didn't realize 3hrs have passed so quickly!

The day has come. Woke up early to eat the powerbars (provided in the race pack). Then geared up and headed to City Hall MRT station for the race. From the Bus stop, we could already see people with blue shirts (the SCB uniform). And we saw more people on the train. It got more exciting when we reached City Hall MRT. The whole crowd was wearing the blue shirt :) Carlo went to the starting line. The Men's 10km started at 7:30AM. So I went to the esplanade to meet up with Pam and Nerie. At around 8:00AM, some of the full marathon experts have finished their race. Lousy (half marathon) was on his 8th km already. We were about to start. Jog jog jog, wave wave to the crowd and to the cameras... hehehe... After the 1st km, Nerie and I started walking. Until the 9th km I think... hahaha... We started running again during the last km. It was fun, exciting, and I remember I couldn't wait for it to end coz I was so hungry! Carlo finished the race at 1hr and 24mins, and I finished at 1hr ...

A week before the Marathon, we got our Race packs already. We are so excited! It'll be our first race. Bahala na si Lord sa kin.. hahaha... basta my goal is to finish the 10km in less than 2hrs :)

We got our free starbucks drink! after queueing for about 10mins :) yey! And then, we found the perfect Christmas Tree! It sings and dances to the tune of Jingle Bell Rock.

I'm so excited to use the oven. So I tried baking this Dory Fish. And it turns out, it's just like the deep fried ones, but only healthier. Ingredients: Suchi fillet fish (but I call it Dory fish) small lime 1 pack of McCormick Fish Nuggets sprinkle the fish fillet with small lime. Then roll it with the fish nuggets crumbs. spray some oil or butter on the baking pan. Put the breaded fish fillets. Bake for about 10-15 minutes. It's so easy and yummy. :) Sides: 1) white sauce pasta, like the Prego Creamy white sauce. 2) Macaroni salad 3) mixed veggies (broccoli, carrots, etc)

After a few days of cleaning and arranging the house, finally got the chance to have it Blessed by Father Angel. He's a Filipino priest here in Singapore. He's the suking pari for most Filipinos. I just gave him a call, and he came right on time. :) Bhernzy was the first guest to arrive. She actually volunteered to take photos using her new D90. :) The snaps are wonderful!

My whole family is finally here! I'm so happy. They booked their flights in March. And 8 months later, they're finally here... hehehe... I'm so happy. They'll be doing the cleaning and the cooking for a bout a week. It's a vacation for me as well.. hahaha... Only 1 more day in the office, and my 2week vacation begins :)

Finally finished packing. Had dinner with our Lousy House Family, and guests Jerome and Djix. After dinner, the girls went up to RD and Tinee's room to watch Tinee's MTV. It was a fun night. Lots laughter (mostly pinagtatawanan lang at inookray ang MTV ni Beklah.) I'm sure gonna miss them... :( We went to bed at 12midnight. My honey dozed off easily. An hour and a half later, he woke up saying he has backpain and abdominal pain. I asked him to take some meds, but he refused. After about 30mins, we decided to rush him to CGH. We called a cab and took my honey to the ER. He was wheelchaired in. The doctor said it's kidney stone. They injected some pain reliever and then gave him some more meds to take for about a week. And they scheduled him to see a specialist on Dec.1st. Got home at around 4AM. He, again, quickly dozed off. Me? I couldn't sleep. I barely had slept at all! at 9AM, the movers will come in. This is what our room for almost 3years and 8 months looks lik...

We're moving to our place soon. Couple of nights more to go... We haven't packed our things yet... hahaha.. goodluck to us! Last Thursday, we visited our new home. It was a still a mess, and smelled like paint. See the clutter? The mattresses have been delivered. It was dinner time. Carlo bought some chicken rice and milk tea from Simei. Yum Yum. This is our first dinner in our very own home. :) We're super excited!!!

The last time Ana was here was about more than a year ago. We left the office early coz she needs to change her top. So we went to her hotel. Then she introduced me to a new drink (new for me)- The Cosmopolitan with grey goose vodka. It's a super yummy drink! I love it! Here's a snap with our cosmos (Just to make JW [my boss] jealous) then we went to Clarke Quay at the Cafe Iguana to have some Margaritas. We met the rest of the QA team there. It was a fun night. It just ended too early. Around 10pm, I was home already!

Went to melville park to meet our Agent. We didn't know that the previous owner of the house will actually handover the keys to us. So, what a surprise! We finally got the keys to our new home. woohoo!!! Okay.. got to run. I'm meeting Ana at her hotel. We're having lunch. :)

Made this video for her.

We've been trying to live a healthy lifestyle. So I had no choice but to cook everyday. I had this beef (cut into shabu shabu style), marinated in soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, garlic, pepper. I stir-fried the beef, and then set aside. I stir-fried the garlic and the broccoli. Then I added the beef, water and oyster sauce. Covered and simmered for a few minutes. And voila. A super yummy dish. Carlo was so happy with the dish. Coz the first time I've attempted this dish, was 3 years ago. And it was a disaster! Hahaha. I think I put too much oyster sauce and salt. It turned out to be too salty. I can say my cooking skills are improving now. :)

Yes! It's September.. finally! I'm not sure if I'm excited or what. First of all, our Macau/HK trip will be cancelled. Due to lack of funds and too much work in the office. (I can't take some time off) We can't even afford to host our annual birthday party :( I'm hoping it's November already. *wish wish wish*

Went to this beautiful Church Wedding Ceremony in Seranggoon area. It's Aldwin and April's wedding! Everybody's been so excited and happy to see the couple joined together in Matrimony. Here are some photos. Congrats Aldwin! Best Wishes to April!

I just registered myself and of course my hubby for the SCB Marathon on December 6th, 2009! Woohoo! Goodluck to us! We have 14 weeks to prepare.

A few days ago, we spoke with this Agent telling him about our interest in buying our own home. We were discouraged with the computations he presented to us. So we have accepted the fact that we can't afford a house this year. We were not prepared whatsoever. But anyway, the agent still scheduled a house viewing with us. So we just went ahead, and decided to go with the flow. The minute we walked inside the place, we loved it! It's not too small, not too big. Just enough for a newly wed couple :) It's a 3 bedroom flat. The Master's Bedroom is huge. We were just thinking too bad we can't afford it.. hehehe Then the agent asked us for our asking price. We were not ready to do a bidding. But okay. And the owner agreed to the price we were asking. So we had no choice but to make the 1% dowpayment. And think of other means for the rest of the 4%. So there you go. Our first viewing turned out to be our first time to purchase a house. I'm so happy and we're so exci...

Badly needed a massage. I decided to book an appointment for Monday Night. hehehe... It was perfect! We had dinner at our fave resto: Bobby's Grill, and ordered the All time favorite Bobby's Pizza: and Chicken Cordon Bleu No wonder lumulobo na naman kami ni caloy... Food trip everyday :P

Went to the Philippine Embassy this afternoon to renew our passports... Then headed to Tanglin mall to have a super late lunch and early dinner :P We ordered these: Yummy crispy chicken with honey mustard sauce and Fajita Quesadillas Beef :) super yummy :)

Sunday is our favorite day. Because it's Pancake Sunday! Caloy and I started this tradition last month. We'll have pancakes for breakfast every Sunday. So it'll be something special for both of us. FYI, Monday to Friday, we always eat breakfast at Hola Cafeteria. And we order the same thing for a week: Roti Prata and Teh Si. And so, Sunday is really special :p

I've been "Kulot" for more than a year now... I decided to have a hair extension thingy done on my hair.. So I booked an appointment right away... but Caloy and I were so tamad to go to the parlor in Paya Lebar, we decided to go to Tampi instead... We planned to see Ice Age 3... but as we were passing by the Jean Yip, I stopped by and asked if they can repair my super damged hair... hahaha... The lady said she can do it for $xxx.xxx amount... Ok.. Can! Firstly, they put something on my scalp... a Scalp Protection thingy.. Then they put some chemicals... and let this autobot thingy roam my head... And lastly.. the digital perming machine which looks alien-y :P But the result is really amazing... haven't taken a photo yet... I'll upload it soon...

3 more months to go... I need to enjoy every minute of the last 3 months of being in my 20's... yep! I'm turning 3-0...shhhh.... I still don't know what to do on my birthday.. I want it to be something special... coz it's ba-bye 20's and hello 30s :) hahaha... Here are my options: 1) HK/Macau Trip 2) Throw a huge 3-0 Party with my friends 3) Go to Bali 4) Go on an Asian Cruise 5) Anything but work :P hehehe shoot! we need to renew our passports if we really want to go out of the country... hehehe...

We went to The Cathay to see the movie, 'Monsters vs Aliens' in 3D. After the movie, when we went down the lobby, there are lots of people queueing up. We then realized, they're queueing up for the Singapore Idol audition, which will start at 8AM. And at 12midnight, they're already there. Here are some snaps:

for those people who are affected by the recession thingy happening all over the world. I feel so sorry for them.
