may 19- I woke up early to get ready for my flight to San Francisco. I did my final check on my luggage. Made sure that i won’t pay excess fees. Also checked everything in our apartment, the stove, made sure all the appliances were turned off. And just waited for the camitocs coz they’re going to take me to the airport. We left my place at 12nn. My flight to SFO is at 4pm. I arrived SFO at 6pm, it was a long walk from the domestic terminal to the international terminal. When i checked in , excess ung carry on ko!!!!!!!!! OMG!!! It was good that Mariebeth came to the airport to hang out coz my flight out would still be at 10:30pm. So i left her some of the things in my carry on (para ma-ibanan an timbang).. And did i mention, that from 10:30pm my flight was delayed for 2hours.

Giging also came and we went to their house and dropped my luggage, lunch at (i 4got what restau) then went straight to SUBIC. We checked in at Subic PArk Hotel.. Nice and cozy hotel..

Then we went to Ocean Adventure and watched their dolphin(ng pa picture ngay-an kami ni jampOt w/ the dolpins), false killer whale and sea lion shows. We ate lunch at Camayan beach resort. Then we spent the afternoon at Zoobic safari. Sayang, we wanted soo much to have our picture taken w/ one of the little tigers, but papa was hesitant to let us. OK lng, we had our photo encounter nman w/ the dolphins. We ended the day by strolling around subic and checking out their duty free shops. When we arrived at our hotel, jamie and i went swimming ha pool. Then we watched a local band perform ha boardwalk.

last weekend i was swamped with the preparations for mama’s surprise birthday party. i coudn’t even count how many times i went back and forth to the grocery. i didn’t get all that i needed from the store all at one time coz mama would get suspicious. i had to hide the marinated chicken drumsticks in the vegetable compartment of the ref. and my stuffed fish. i had to wait till mama gets to work at 7pm to buy the balloons, flowers and the birthday cake on new year’s eve. good thing she was working new year’s eve, i had time to prepare not to mention cook. i had 4 entrees by the way. when i went to go have my the balloons blown up my friend Amy was there and we talked for a while and my 2 dozen balloons were the center of attention. then when i went out on my way to my car t’was windy (as in mahangin ba sa labas effect) a lady said "be careful those balloons might fly you some place". i smiled at her, greeted her happy new year and i thought to myself, hopefully to the Philippines(",). i finally got home tied the balloons all over our place, i set up our dinning table ( see how red and beautiful our dining table  in MY PHOTOS). then at about 09:30 i drove myself to the CAmitoc’s place to spend the new year. i was able to go home 2am. i was soo sleepy, i slept for a couple of hours, woke up @6am started cooking then sure enough when mama arrived from work she was SURPRISED (it made everything worth it). And the rest of the day went well friends came. We had a feast, talking and we watched step up on dvd. and did i mention, amidst all these i get two phone calls from the hospital asking if i can work, and to think that i emailed(we have a local lab. email/messnging system) everybody that they won’t be able to count on me this weekend &JAn. 1,what part of my very simple message did they not understand?), and 2nd i’m not the scheduled on call tech. this is the first time that i didn’t respond to a hospital call. i usually do even if i’m NOT the on call tech.

this weekend, i pampered myself by having a haircut (just a trim), and went shopping in Houston. then we watched 2 movies Happy feet and the pursuit of happYness.

%^&*$#@ kin’da lost SOMETHING and *&^%miss it.

voice: but how can you loose something, that you’ve never really had…. (now that’s a relief)

never really thought that *&^%$ will miss SOMETHING this much.  guess that *&^%took SOMETHING for granted.

*&^%* think that, maybe &*^%$ never deserved SOMETHING. *&^%$’s friends think the other way around, they told *&^% that SOMETHING did not deserve &%$^*. is that suppose to make ^)(*&^ feel better? &^%$* don’t think so, but *&^%$ appreciate it.

the way Y^%$*) feel about SOMETHING doesn’t just go away with a snap of a finger.

i don’t know why we put things off, but if a had to guess, i guess it has a lot to do with pain, failure, rejection…. sometimes its a fear from having to make a decision. what if its wrong, what if you’re making a mistake that cannot be undone.the fear of crossing to the other side , taking RISKS…

if only we don’t step on anyone. of only we respect each individual for who or what he or she is. 

even in our everyday lives, can we choose NOT to HURT someone? i bet we can. because i think whatever problems our world is facing, it all boils down to how each one of us live our lives. the choices we make may affect more people than we would ever know. i’m sure we’ve all heard of the riple effect. Take into consideration not only our own feelings, but also other people’s feelings.

did u knw dat golf balls in their original form had no dimples? they were smooth and when u hit them, they hummed through the air and to a short stop. but only after a ball was used several times, scratched and scarred did it begin to soar. So the manufacturing company began making balls w/ "defects". Now a dimpled golf ball will soar high and a half times farther than a smooth one. Isn’t that the same w/ us? we should use our cuts, scars, failures , weaknessess, frustrations to soar further than we ever would…

WHAT GOOD WOULD IT DO A MAN IF HE GAINED THE WHOLE WORLD AND SUFFERED THE LOSS OF HIS SOUL?

i just watched "little manhattan" yesterday!! i liked it very much.. nothing can beat "first love". so pure & innocent..

it’s amazing what u can do when u live by urself…

i was able to cook "Ginata-ang Manok" the right way. The best ever! I’m so proud of it. my co-workers liked it very much. They said the flavor was really absorbed by the chicken.. U all should have tasted it.

thanks to Mana Belen (frm Philippines), Tita Marian, and Tita Elda… Days before, i called them and asked how to do it. They each have different ways of cooking it. i just combined all their ideas.

actually i can cook. But it’s the first time that i cooked by myself. using my own judgement and first time that my cooking was served to other people. coz i only cook for myself, my family and some really close fwends.

u can just imagine how delicious it was that it caused me to write bout it here in friendster.. hehehehehee..

well i just wish that everybody will have good food each day.. happy eating!
