PC # 51

While waiting for my younger brother who's taking the UPCAT, am currently killing time here in a computer rental shop in Philcoa. :Sigh: am bored! I timed in at 2:45...still have about 2 hours to wait..my bro's until 6:20 pm pa. Have to bear with my aching back and heavy-dreading-to-sleep eyes..really would love to sleep..lamig pa naman because of the rainy weather.

I miss Paul na naman..we were together this morning but he can't be with me this afternoon. He has to man his computer shop. How I wish lapit lang ang shop nila dito para libre ako hehehe! and of course to be with him! Anyway, ok naman dito specifically PC #51 (just randomly selected this)...the connection's pretty fast. My blog is functioning sa IE nila. (blog's not displaying correctly in the first shop I went to..)..got to edit some posts, added a couple of w @ wie links, added two weddingsatwork badges on the side bars. My blog's not functioning with a mozilla firefox browser. I wonder why.. Paul has to fix this. There might be some missing or incorrect codes somewhere.

The vitamins i'm taking lately started to kick in its effects..hehehe sobrang bilis kong gutumin. Paul and I just had a merienda and now, am drooling over a chowking tarpaulin here where a platter of chicken, pansit, buchi, rice and chicharap and a bowl of halo-halo tempts me. Hmmm...wahhh nagugutom na naman ako! Oks lang, just like the w @ wie weight gainers, I wish na magkalaman ako before the wedding day..as i've said, it's not nice to see a wedding gown on a hanger walking down the aisle..:D

As Paul's doing our invites, one of our Principal Sponsors hasn't replied back his middle initial. Will try to ring him tonight..hope we could have it na para maprint na yung mock-up invite namin. :D

Fitness and Health: (<--isama ba talaga?)Am trying to gain more pounds. Just started taking Mosegor Vita as recommended by my fellow w @ wie, Jacque and my sister, Dada who attested na nakakapagpataba nga ito because of its effect to one's appetite. Wanna improve my shape and built..don't want to be a walking hanger on my gown. Will update you of my progress. I'm targeting to gain 10 pounds more before my wedding day. As you see, ok pa naman siguro if we're takin' easy on preps lately..we've booked almost all of our major suppliers kaya ok na talaga yun. Still have 4 1/2 months to prepare for the other nitty gritty details..and of course still have about 9 paydays plus one bonus payday to replenish our diminishing moolah.

Anything we might have missed/overlooked?

Questions? Comments? Just holler..........

The Wedding Ring

Paul and I were really more than happy when my dad sponsored our wedding bands for us. He works in Saudi where gold is not that pricey as compared here in the Philippines. A blessing, indeed. Relief both on our wedding budget and of course, saved from the pagod ng paghanap (and I thank my tita for that..who, by the way, is also a reader of this blog nook of mine hehe). I just gave this pic for their guide. We want a white gold one..with a simple yet explicit style..hehe!

Speaking of rings, siyempre, walang bride ang gusto ng ganitong eksena...

I'm deleting my Blog!

Thanks PGMA for declaring today special non-working holiday! Yipee! It was a long weekend..did a lot of things and was just glad to have this extra day..bakasyon galore!!!

Friday evening: After attending the monthly head cashiers' meeting at the HO, Paul asked me to proceed to Sunnette Tower for their Teambuilding (movie-themed costume party). Hehe feeling taga-accenture ako! Oh yes..I'm really invited sa mga teambuildings nila, am lucky kasi nakikikain ako hehe! Pero Paul is luckier to have such kind of colleagues. So bait and kwela talaga.

Saturday: Mah rest day! I just slept practically the whole day (siyempre in between meals)..in short, kain-tulog lang ang ginawa ko.

Sunday morning: After lots of convincing dramas by my younger bro, I attended the Parents-Teachers Assembly at UST High. The reason why my brother insisted na umattend ako? May 5% incentive daw sa project in one of their subjects. Kakaiba na pala talaga ngayon. Hehe! I graduated from the same school pero ni isa ala namang Assembly na ganyan noon haha! How I wish dumating na sina Papa from Saudi para di na ako guardian niyan hehehe! While waiting for lunch, Paul and I strolled muna sa UST grounds..grabe so much have changed..lots of buildings are being constructed...hay! na-miss ko alma mater ko for 8 years. Even in P. Noval, dami ng new restos, shops, etc. I was looking for squid balls kasi kaya kami napadpad dun. ..kaso ala eh. Well, sunday kasi. Dumaan nga pala kami sa gym where the Salinggawi Dance Troupe dancers were practicing their cheering stunts for their performance in the afternoon. May laro kasi UST Tigers in the afternoon..and siyempre talo na naman!

Sunday lunch: Paul and I headed to Chinatown's Best Foods at Banawe. Our HS classmate and Paul's kabarkada until now, Genil, is now an architect! He ranked #9 in the recent Board Exams kaya ayun nagpakabusog kami sa lunch blowout treat niya. Served as reunion na rin kasi daming HS classmates ang nagpunta.

Sunday noon: I accompanied Paul at Gilmore..he bought 2 additional PCs for their shop.

Monday: Just did the souvenirs. Hehe lapit na matapos! Same with the invites lapit na matapos ni Paul yipee!

As for the title of this blog: Hmmm...kunwari lang...though minsan i'm on the verge of doing it kasi naman i barely have the time to update it or kung meron man, blogger isn't cooperating. I dunno if it has something to do with this newly-reformatted PC or with the DSL connection.
