well, as i said, biographies/autobiographies (so sorry, "living history" is an autobiography) are generally interesting; if you found them interesting enough, you would buy the book. in my case, i am intrigued by her life and what she has done. i read somewhere that she may run in the next u.s. presidential election and it wouldn't hurt "to know her better". i don't do book reviews so please do not expect an in-depth review of the book.
i also wanted to get "in my life" by bill clinton but, it's not available in paperback and for the price i'll have to pay, there are other books i'd like to devour.
i hope to finally read the book on the bus on the way home to cabanatuan. that is if i don't get to sleep first... hehehehe
bye everybody!

The Muppets
they're back! the muppets! disney has bought the franchise and has relaunched the muppets!
they now have a website and are currently planning a movie (if they haven't already begun filming it) with queen latifah and quentin tarantino in a cameo, i think. a television show is in the works.
maybe that's why i don't mind being called babuy (especially if ricky is doing the calling). i was known in the house as miss piggy.
speaking of that fabulous pig, she has her own "corner" ala sex and the city
ricky is due in a few minutes and for lunch, we will be having danggit!
our friends mako & cris gave us some when they came back from cebu...
gotta go, sago!

hibernating piggy
oh god, another hibernation.... i'm back for the meantime. whew!things are starting to get crazy....
well, we're going to get the invites tomorrow. when susan (of vcraft) said that, i really couldn't believe it. as my egroupmates say, it's a different feeling when you get the proof, another feeling when you get news about when they'll be ready for pick-up and an entirely different emotion when you see your invites. i hope and pray that they're alright. i'll definitely tell you when we've gotten them; hope to post pictures too!
well, we have really been de-stressing via movies lately. it started with "the incredibles" . i really love most of the films disney & pixar collaborate on ( i haven't seen home on the range on dvd yet.) and this joins my favorites lion king and finding nemo. truly entertaining and wonderful animation i might add! makes me wish i had the artistic talents of both my brothers... last saturday, we caught the 11 p.m. screening of "taxi" a truly hilarious movie! ricky and i had a great time. hehehehe tonight, since it's a holiday, we will close early and watch "after the sunset" (together with my family two/too ... get it? ;) - the syjuicos :))
tell y'all about it tomorrow... ciao!

what's up?
yup, what's up everybody? hehehe maybe i should ask myself that question. it's been two weeks since i last posted something here and i guess by now, the very few people who visit my blog regularly have now left me *sob,sob*
well, things at gotcha have been picking up, our customers have been slowly coming in. we really hope it picks up and stays that way. we were open last nov. 1 and i must say even here along chino roces, makati sure is different. different in the sense that when it's a holiday, you don't get to see much. it was pretty quiet last monday but we weren't without customers. meron pa rin!
on the wedding preps front, i finally got my legal capacity to marry affidavit from the u.s. embassy. whew! i really thought i'd get into trouble *wink,wink* but luckily all they asked me to do was to raise my right hand and swear that all the information i provided on a sheet of paper were true. :)) then the consul signed the affidavit.
hehehehe one step closer to getting married ;)
ciao people!

astoria plaza
well, we have started attending to our wedding preps again. whew! now, with almost 2 months to go, we're starting to feel the panic. hehehe but don't worry it's manageable, feigned panic lang.
ricky and i were in search of a place for our wedding preps and of course a place for my family to stay before and after the wedding. we wanted a hotel in the ortigas area. a few months back, mako mercado, a good friend of ours, showed us some pictures of the room they stayed in once and i noticed how spacious it looked. i thought, "might be a good place to stay for the wedding"; little did i know, it would be THE place for our families and preps. :) mako promised he'd help us with astoria because he's a regular there. so, together with our friends mako and cris mercado, ricky & i visited astoria plaza last tuesday, oct. 19, 2004.
i noticed that the hotel doesn't have a grandiose lobby nor a spacious one. but for the pictorials before heading off to the church, its staircase at the lobby will do. i'm not particularly fond of having my pic taken so, that's okay.
after waiting for a few minutes, the receptionist had us escorted to a two-bedroom suite and i must say, my jaw dropped! i didn't expect it to be that big! hehehe there are two bedrooms (kaya nga two-bedroom suite eh! 'sensya na po, excited lang...) one is big enough to place extra single beds. there's a sala, a kitchen (complete with ref, stove, microwave, pots and pans) and a maid's room. it has one bathtub and it's a bit small compared to the ones in galleria or shangri-la but it'll do for me. i intend to soak and relax in the tub before d-day :))
i was excited that my family won't have any problem about where they'll (we'll) stay for our wedding. another plus is that it's situated in the ortigas area so it's near shangri-la mall, megamall and even galleria, pwede na rin. so if my mom and sisters want to go shopping (ma, shopping po tayo! hehehe) malapit lang.
we're also extremely lucky that it's still available in december which is a rarity nowadays, considering all the functions and weddings that'll be happening. so, we've reserved it for dec. 28-31, 2004. you might wonder bakit dec. 28? hehehehe mom and i will go shopping HEHEHEHE 'love yah ma, mwah!

good morning! i swear, my titles are getting cornier by the minute! hehehehe
again, good morning and welcome back to my blog. geez, i promised to write soon but i realized that it has been more than a week since i last posted something; a message that is. but, i posted the results of my "what kind of smile are you?" (right now, i can't smile because...) and of course, you can check out my mood as of the moment. but for those of you who know me, my mood rarely changes from what i've chosen today. HAHAHAHAHA
so, in an effort to keep my eyelids propped up (without the use of toothpicks...:)) i decided to visit a website i haven't seen for like ages. the palm one website. now, i am not a techie and a gadget freak but i couldn't keep my mouth shut when i saw the overview of the tungsten t5. i was like, "oh my god" & "wow!" i felt so guilty that i took out my trusty m100 and told her she was still my original baby.
i was just reading the overview but when i viewed the specs, i let out a long whistle. the memory is just right (hehehe just right you say?), bluetooth is the way to go, there is an expansion slot, speaker and headphone jack; it can be my mp3 player too! it's entirely different but i'm thinking, i can scratch off the iPod on my wish list and just get this. i mean i don't have to lug around so many beautiful gadgets right?
but i think i can bring so much stuff around if i can iPod my BMW ;P what-my-what you say? yup, you read it correctly, if i iPod my BMW. this is another entry on my wish list. who wouldn't want to drive a bmw? now, who wouldn't want to drive while listening to your fave tunes at the same time? well, iPod Your BMW allows you to (as it says on their website) savor the "...pleasure that comes from experiencing the perfect marriage of design and technology." WOW is all i can say.

ice cream anyone?
i've come to learn that one of the best things in having a convenience store is access to food. one of my current faves is the quezo real ice cream stick from selecta. hay, ang sarap. it's creamy and the cheese! oh man! ewan ko ba basta ang sarap. and because it's small, i end up eating two in a row! hay... sarap talaga.
wow! the weekend went by so quickly! it's monday already! last saturday, we had dinner @ the king crab restaurant along jupiter street. we had crab in sotanghon, crab with rice, veggies and lapu-lapu! grabe, ang sarap! nabusog ako. sarap talaga, oh did i mention masarap? :)
then, because ricky and i haven't watched a movie in such a long time and we wanted to relax a bit, we caught the 11:00 p.m. screening of "shark tale" @ glorietta 4. now, i'm no movie critic but i must say, the movie made us laugh and we were entertained which is exactly what we wanted. mind you, the screening was full and there were a lot of kids in the audience as well! critics didn't rate "shark tale" highly. i guess they were expecting something along the lines of finding nemo. but you gotta admit, after nemo, the bar for animation was raised (so high i must add). (i love finding nemo as well, dory and squirt are my fave characters.) oscar and lenny aren't nemo and marlin but, our admission was worth it.
oh no...i'm craving for another quezo real stick. hmmm at the rate i'm going, i might be the first bride to have her gown altered kasi, lumaki before the wedding! hehehehe ;)
i wonder what we're having for dinner.....
mwah! ciao!
