The Story of my Life

...this spanking oversized watch from TW Steel.

I have a long list of wishes but this one tops it all. Will post my other wishlist in a separate entry. hehehehe

I'm so not in the mood to work today. I'm sleepy, tired and my elbow's sore from badminton. So, in an effort to convert this lousy day into a happy one, I need to think of pleasant, exciting and happy thoughts. The only way to do that is to think of my birthday wish list.

Less than a month from now, I'll be turning 33. Wow! Never imagined I'd be 33 and sexy. NOT! Let's not go into that. Anyway, with my birthday fast approaching, I have to start thinking of what I want. hehehe

Here goes:

1. Balenciaga Motorcycle Bag. If my bestfriend is reading this, I'm sure she's going to have a mighty laugh knowing that I still haven't moved on from this. Just a background, a friend was selling her pre-loved Balenciaga bag to me a few months ago. I was sooooo interested, but had to decline because we just spent a fortune on my delivery, was going to spend another fortune renovating the new house, and most importantly, because the hubby didn't like it....Haven't stopped thinking about it ever since.

2. Blackberry phone. I think everyone is into blackberry except for the husbo and I. I heard that I can just add more or less P500 bucks to my monthly plan to get unlimited access to social networks such as Facebook, Yahoo Messenger and Twitter. Plus communicating with friends can be as easy as chatting while on the go.

3. Kenneth Cole Wedge Shoes. The first time I laid eyes on these pretty shoes, I fell inlove with it. I was still pregnant then and buying it would be a bad idea as I know my feet weren't in their perfect form. Now that we're going to buy it, they didn't have my size. We checked from every branch, but unsuccessful. So I don't know how we're going to get this.

4. A new pair of sunglasses. I've been using the same sunglasses since 2006 and honestly, I find it a little outdated now. So, I'm praying I could get one of those huge bumblebee like sunglasses with black frame, please.

5. To trim down to my pre-pregnancy weight. I think this one would be a gift from God if it happens. hehehe

6. Yankee Candles. I have this obsession on candles since we moved in to our new home. I already bought 3 sets of decorative candles and placed them in the bathroom and dining table. But what I really want are scented candles that serve as air freshener for the home. I already asked my friend to buy a couple from the states. But I think I'll need more.

I would also like to ask for books but I have so many unread books at the moment and they're all starting to pile up. So maybe, I'll skip that one for now.

So far these are the things I want for my birthday. If I have extra moolah, maybe I'll get myself a BB. Maybe.

Dearest Hon,

Happy happy birthday. Although today doesn’t seem like a special day because of all your stress at work and school, I hope that you feel God’s love embracing you as you reach your 32nd birthday. You’ve been a loving husband, an excited father, a caring son and a dependable friend so you deserve a peaceful and blissful day.

Today, I hope that we made you feel loved more than the way you love us. You’ve been a great husband to me and I don’t regret walking down the aisle for you. All the sacrifices you’ve made to make our family-life delightful are all appreciated. So today, I have these wishes for you, hoping that God will grant them:


I wish that your client will be kinder to you today.

I wish that God brings out an aura of peace and compassion to you so that your client will be infected by it.

I wish that your Professor will somehow extend the deadline of submission of plates to give you more time to work on it.

I wish that the weather won’t be too hot today while your at the site so you won’t feel stinky and dirty while doing your job.

I wish that you’ll have enough energy to sustain you today despite the lack of sleep from working late for your plates.

I wish that the traffic to work will not be as bad as it normally is so you can be there early.

I wish that your new project will go smoothly and that your new clients will be as warm as the previous couple you worked with.

I wish you’ll have another project by mid-year.

I wish that Struktura will be stronger and bigger in the design industry this year.

I wish that you’ll never get tired of my cooking nor bringing out the trash as needed.

I wish that you can learn how to efficiently juggle your time for work, school family and self. I’m not complaining, I just wish that you can do the things you want without sacrificing others that are equally important.

I wish that you’ll be as patient as always with my tantrums, kakulitan and non-sense.

I wish that you’ll never get tired of puttig me to sleep everytime you need to stay up late for work and school.

I wish that this year, you’ll have more time for exercise so you can be as fit as you once were. Hehe

I wish that you’ll learn to regularly drink your vitamins. :)


I wish that you’ll learn how to cook. Hehehe

I wish that you’ll eventually learn how to read to our children, with emotion and enthusiasm. :)

I wish that our first born will be a healthy baby boy so that he can be just like you…responsible, caring and loving. What a joy that would be if I had two men caring for me! Bu if God wills to have a baby girl, I hope that she’ll be as malambing as you want her to be, hugging and kissing you when your stressed, and lovingly removes your socks when you’re too tired and sleepy to take them off by yourself.

And most, importantly, I wish that you feel how much love I have for you everyday of our lives together.

There’s so much more I’d want for you to have but this will be a loooooooong post if I write them all in, so I will stop here.

Happy birthday, Jerome! See you later.

This Christmas is extra special for me and the husbo because its the first year he and i celebrated it as husband and wife. And it follows that we also spent christmas with two families.

Thank you Hon! Love you. Let's get your car bumper na!

The paper I just reviewed for my boss made me more sleepy. I need to do something to perk me up so I thought I should write down my Christmas wish list. I haven’t done this for a couple of years already, so I’ll revive it this year.

1. Basic baking tools. I want to make a good use of our oven and start baking again. But I lost all the baking tools mom gave me back in highschool. The only ones left are the measuring cups and spoons which will not get me anywhere so I need a new set of baking tools. i.e. baking pans of all shapes and sizes, rolling pins, spatula, liquid measuring cup, cooking cutters, mixers, whip etc.


2. Prime Lens, Tripod, and flash. Since I got Honeylet, I’ve not been able to upgrade it except for the expensive camera bag I bought when her original bag broke. I’ve been wanting to buy a tripod for our travels and a prime lens so I can get more beautiful portrait photos. I’m itching to get this now because when the baby is here I’m sure I'm gonna need to take close-up photos of the baby's feet, fingers and face.

3. Lots of undergarments. You know naman, I’m expanding everyday and most of my undies are small/medium. It gets irritating na down there. Hahahaha! So arte.

4. Season 5-6-7 Grey’s Anatomy. Managed to finish Season 4 and half of Season 5 of Grey’s Anatomy when I was on bed rest.

5. Olive oil. To minimize stretchmarks. I’m allergic to cocoa butter so olive oil only please.

6. Bag. Is being a semi bag hag good enough reason? A Gucci or Goyard bag. hehehe

7. Classical Music CDs for my little one. Although, my readings said there’s really no scientific basis for claiming that a classical music enhances a baby’s brain, I will still try. I won’t lose anything if I did right?

8. Maternity Dresses/Clothes. I’ve been having a hard time finding clothes to wear and maternity dresses are really way out of my style. So I need to get shapeless, trapeze or jersey maxi dresses.

9. Accessories. I also need to start using accessories now that my face is changing. The accerssories will focus people's attention to it and away from my kamatis-like nose.

10. iPad. I’m not really a fan of gadgets but for some reason. I’m beginning to be interested in this gadget.
