Ant-Man

I enjoyed this film so much than Jurassic World and San Andreas. Worth the cholesterol from my favorite Tater's butter popcorn.

Full trailer here...

Reunion hits

July 18, 2015

And it happened. I'm so glad I attended UST's College of Education Grand Alumni Homecoming tonight. We paid p1000 for the ticket(dinner and souvenir t-shirt). I drove to the venue by four in the afternoon, where our former Gym/pool was situated, now UST's Alumni center. 

In the news

I'm a self-confessed news junkie. I spend a lot of time reading(twitter), listening and watching the news everyday. I feel I'm living under a rock when I'm out of touch. Siguro kaya ako naging History teacher. No wonder.

Dekada Historic Filipino cuisine

June 28, 2015

It was a late 12th birthday celebration for my nephew. We weren't able to celebrate it because they went to Sierra Madre resort for a quick getaway last May 27.

dental visit

You know you're getting older when your set of teeth is getting weaker and weaker. It's been my problem ever since I was a child. My Mom would tell me kasi daw hindi daw niya ako naalagaan ng husto sa vitamins when I was in her womb. 

from running to biking

I've been a gym member three months after my son was born. I was determined then to really get back into shape. During the '90s, p16,000 pesos lang lifetime member ka na. My sis became a member two years ago for p35,000 pesos. Grabe ang inflation no?

Random Tuesday

This is one of those days when my husband was the one who initiated for us to go malling. So I immediately jumped on the offer. I needed to go to the grocery  and he wants to have a massage. We will wait and meet up with our son na rin whose coming from work para sabay na kami umuwi.

But before we proceed to our individual plans, we ended up having our merienda first at Cafe Mary Grace. At first, we sat on the noisy side of the cafe. Na-stress ang asawa ko. Natuturete daw siya sa daldalan ng mga katabi namin. He wants to eat in peace daw. Haha. We requested to be transferred. 

speed ala Lizardo

This is so pathetic. I pity us, Filipinos. We don't deserve this. 

diamond jubilee birthday

We are celebrating my Aunt's 75th birthday today. She is our Aunt(my Mom's cousin) cum Yaya since childhood. She never married and just devoted her entire life to us. She was able to take care of my son for some time and nowadays, my nephews and niece. We are very lucky to have her. We are happy that she survived an accident while crossing the street last November brought by an irresponsible motorcycle rider. Would you believe that was the first time she was hospitalized? Hindi pa natural ang cause. She has a very strong body that one time I asked her what her secret diet is. Haha.

Father's day 2015

June 21, 2015

We've spent this special day for the last two years in Tagaytay. My husband wasn't feeling well this year so we just decided to spend it here in the city. Ayaw pa nga lumabas. He told me to just cook for him. Naku, hindi naman ako handa.

DIY hair dye

In my attempt not to spend for the coming reunion, I didn't buy a new dress. I did my own manicure and pedicure too, which isn't new anymore since I do it every other week. 

This one's new. I dyed my hair on my own. I thought my hair isn't that long unlike before which was an inch above the shoulder, so there's no need to go to the salon this time.

Cranberry Juice

My husband and I both have high cholesterol. This means we have to go on a healthy diet at least for a month while on medications. My OB suggested too that instead of Apple Juice which I've been consuming for a few days now, I should drink daw Cranberry juice instead which is more nutritious.

I googled the benefits of Cranberry juice and I'm sharing it with you: 

at the playground and some Chocolate Kiss treats

After days of no exercise because of monsoon rains, we headed today to our favorite playground. My husband ran while I biked for 13 kilometers. It was still gloomy at 3pm and we didn't feel much humidity unlike weeks ago. 

funny Minion kalokalike

We saw the Minions' movie and was entertained as usual. But I was expecting a bit more. Pambata talaga siya, I should say. 

I didn't mean to mock our President but this really made me laugh today. 

Silver Jubilarian

I hate to admit it but it's been twenty five years since I graduated from college(there goes my age!) in UST. I was reminded by my batchmates thru FB about our Grand Alumni homecoming on the 18th. I was surprised because all along, I thought it was set on December. Oh noes, hindi ako handa. My hair need root touch-ups. I'm not on my fittest because I'm on a month of Lipitor. Sana sa FB na lang mag-reunion no? Walang gastos. Hindi ka matra-trapik. No need for an appointment for a make up and hair do session. Haaay. 

I thought of not attending. It's too soon. I don't have a gown. Formal attire daw because we will be awarded with medals as jubilarians. My husband said in jest, "Ano na ba ang nagawa niyo at dapat kayo maparangalan?" 

I don't want to spend for a gown that I'll be wearing just for a night. Lalo naman ayaw ko manghiram.

But the urge to see my batchmates and close friends made me decide to give it a go. We will see how this would unfold.

Rainy day specials

I've been having headaches since Monday which forced me to get a massage yesterday. My throat is itchy. Nahawa yata ako sa husband ko. 

I want Marian's healing hands(remember her?) to ease whatever pain I was in. Paborito ko ngang linya sa asawa ko "ayokooo nang ganitong buhay!" and he would grin at me. He knows how energetic I am kaya alam niya na naiirita ako kapag di ko magawa yung usual na gawain ko. 

a different Sunday

Husband has colds and can't bike as he usually does on Sunday mornings. After two months of having a dry season aka summer, we woke up to a rainy and gloomy weather. Finally, the humidity has dissipated. Storm Egay is forecasted to head to Ilocos Norte but the habagat is causing the heavy rainfall. 

Strava

I use this app whenever I want to track/record my route and its length when I'm out biking. It is very helpful, indeed. It can be used in running, walking, too.
