Randomness is pretty.

Once done stoking the fire till it chokes, I should be well moving on, but the good vibes aren't chanting my song...I want to hear it tell me the certain and not just the thrills of a new beginning. I want it to tell me that everything I planned and hoped for will come true. Uhm...yeah, I'm mad to say I want and I want things definite right now, I don't want second guessing things and get stuck in the middle. Look I'm 29 I should have lessened my growing up years by half! But seems like I plan to live up to 200 that I've got lots of growing up to do and I'm nowhere near adulthood!!! How am I supposed to become a mom when I need a mom myself!!!! Ugh... Mom? Don't do the wide grin, I know you want me to be 5 forever but... Hey I got a wonderful husband that needs me to be 29 :) he's 30 and he's old, lucky me he's old. I get fed and the household budget is safe. I'm just for the floor mopping and ironing clothes, and the dishes but the rest including the laundry is a "take-turns" duty... I can't be left alone or I'll starve!!! .... Ok now thats a lie! KFC has a number for a reason such as me and people like me...

Anyway stop grinning at back of your heads and feel sorry for me now. Oh haha. Nah, kidding. I'll survive and can brave it all. I just want people around and make them feel needed, if mom wants to show me how to mend our burnt shirts from all the ironing I did, I let her... She's a mom, we need moms! She knows all things. She never runs out of money and her budget is always good... How does she do it, I don't know. She always smell nice and keeps her face moisturized! I used to watch her when I was young how she does her face and put on her lipstick... Even at times when she's just going to do the laundry, she's powdered and cologned! Classic.

How come I just do laundry straight out of bed! Oooow! Are you supposed to know that?

Anyway friends, I'm always out of the box, never seem to be in sync with anything, but that's okay, sometimes the randomness makes it all pretty, so yes... Even if I don't know what's ahead I'm counting on sheer guts and your prayers :)

Love from here,

Sassy

Some days

Are like this when you get to challenge yourself to be good and struggle with all your might to present yourself nicely? You fail.

I'm trying to be good. I'm trying to be someone who will be taken by others positively. I wanna be that rainbow aura that
everybody loves at first sight.

Well... We can't please everybody that's what they say all the time. No matter how the great majority adores you there'll be some who'll want to tear your gutts out! So beware not to get close or they'll tear your gutts out you, hear me! Just stay clear and say the things they want to hear, you can only be too honest to people who are your friends and they won't lie when they say they hate what you said! But to these people who aren't even your friends but dare to hurt your feelings... Be nice. If you still have loyal friends with you it means you're good. So don't let them get you down.

loyal friend,
Sassy

fabulous.

Okay, so I dont understand anything about the lyrics except for some english parts, this is a Korean girl group performing in the Philippines, I was mesmerized. How cute! ^^

I'm Filipino but have no trouble understanding Mariah Carey singing to her songs or Taylor Swift or watching those english movies because most people here do speak and understand english very well, but now I get a chance to know what it's like to be Korean or Japanese or Thai listening to music I dont understand but still like it. I'm now liking many songs that are Korean and Japanese not caring for the lyrics or if they are in Hollywood all I care is when they are entertaining and good quality.

cheers to music, it bridges us across language barriers!

helloooo world

...and before I begin I would like to say many thanks to everyone who has been so nice in welcoming me back into the bloggie world even if I had been a delinquent writer for coming and going with many inevitable excuses... I still have some more here, I should be lying in bed and get that much needed rest and twiddle my thumbs for a bit longer ... but heck! I'm writing!!! I miss you all really bad that this keyboard will have good chances of breaking, mah fingers are burni'n!!! type!type!type!

So anyway, I found myself lying in bed groggy that Friday evening...a pretty woman in white had pat my shoulders calling my name with a "miss" ... I'm "mrs." my brain called out, I knew this is how it's going to be, I'd be in bed with oxygen mask on and wont have any recollection of whatever happened inside the Delivery Room...(I have not given birth!)though I wish I had!:) I love babies! All the women beside my bed in the Recovery Room had babies wheeled in for them to nurse and I got none, the humor in me wont STOP even if I was there lying motionless in bed, my brain had worked several jokes about babies being given to me by mistake and I would take them home. ANYWAY! I just had a D&C, a procedure that they consider so common they assured me I'd be OK and will be back on my feet the next day... well... seems like they're right. I feel okay more than I expected though I'm taking precautions, why push myself when I can lounge around and file sick leave at work? This is the best time to be eating and sleeping right while I can, 'cuz once I'm back into the "work force" I'd be my old self...always wanting to do healthy stuff but actually can't, BUT I vowed to go to the gym once I feel perfectly better! promise!

Well... LIFE... the sleep that they had put me to was not the sleep I thought it would be...I thought I'd feel rested and calm, but when I woke up, it was odd that there seem to have been a blank space in my memory, where I could not recall anything other than the whole process of being butt-naked with Doctors and nurses moving about preparing me for the procedure... aarrgghhh... I know.... you will hate the feeling too, of being without control and butt-naked! I had tried covering my face but you know that wont work...they still would know me, my hospital records hang at a corner!^^ I was laughing at myself, in my head I was!...WELL, I could be dead when I wake up and none of it would matter! How would I know if I'm not dead yet when I wake up??? Well...glad that I was wheeled outside to see my mom and the husband at the waiting room...their faces skewed with worry! BUT I gave them a thumbs up and joked "it's a BOY!!!" ... my mom immediately "shhhuuushhh" me, "you shouldn't be making all that gestures and talking!" OKAY, I'm alive. I love GOD. He never fails me. I knew I'd be okay and I trusted the Doctors and Nurses that there'd be NO video or photos that'll surface of my butt-naked encounters with the instruments! Nasty!

Amazing how these drugs can switch you on and off consciousness...

Amazing are these Doctors and Nurses and everyone who save lives for a living! hats off to the REAL LIFE HEROES!

thanks life.

That's what I've been coaching myself to think, "get a life!" DO NOT DROWSE! It's my first day at work since I have been hospitalized for bleeding myself to almost dry that I had to be a vampire by a needle to survive. I'm wobbly that's why the husband is like a "stage dad" watching my every move and asking if I'm okay every 10 mins...oh he cares a lot right now, I've given him such a scare. I wont DIE, not yet at least I have to make it to my birthday this Friday and my wish is to live a longer happy life. ^^ Well these things happen, at least our marriage is tested for what we vowed for "in sickness and in health" ... we're just not ready for the next phrase the "till death do us part" part, that's why we said "until we both shall live" in our marriage vows and not the latter because it sounded better... I mean, the moment seems perfect to say that I will stay married to him even in death...nice eh?! ^^
Well now, I just wish for a mind reader that directly feeds into my blog as I have been wanting to write but the trouble is time and my ability to write in the midst of daze and tubes...but I'm well now, I'm at work proof that I have survived stubborness and not taking care of myself... hit the gym! hit the gym! I swear I said that many times in my hospital bed that I will go back to lifting those weights and sweating it all out! whew. stubborn. sassy. me. next year promise, 2010!
Anyway, lets head off to my hometown where we'll be in a few days to spend the holidays and like my oldest friend LIFE isn't giving me any normalcy... I just want a holiday and there goes Mt. Mayon spewing ashes and lava, tremors and all that volcanic erruption thing, I could see Mt. Mayon from our backyard!!! Well...it's hard not to see Mt. Mayon anywhere in my city...it's as majestic as you think it is...how you would draw a volcano when you are told to do so is how it looks...triangle in 2D, perfect cone in 3D, perfect circle on top view!!! Lovely and WILD! She's our muse, she's beautiful but dangerrrrrous. We never blame her for any destruction, oftentimes people are lured to stay close in awe of her beauty. What can you do about the forces of nature? It doesn't choose a time, if it has to fill our land with more land, what can you do??? Boulders would shoot up in the air like it has no weight but the sizes of which ranges from a refrigerator to as big as a house!!! Such a spectacle from afar. I have my fondest memories of Mt. Mayon's erruption in my head and it includes barbercue at the park with binoculars! If you happen to have lived in Legazpi City where Mayon is you will understand its BEAUTY and SHIFTING TEMPER like a true woman it is hardly predictable but unassumingly charming. So yes, even if the news says people are evacuated and will probably stay at the evacuation centers 'till Christmas, Christmas will still happen! Nothing can stop it! For as long as everyone keeps a distance, Mayon erruptions will stay as a spectacle rather than a calamity, it's brialliant to watch how it glows bright red in the dark, really I tell you it's eerily wonderful...there's some hint of delight in danger... I'm out of my mind, don't listen to me, I'm under medication so bear with me will ya? :) OUT.

at eleven

so the things that clamour my head bugging me like a child for more sweets are the pictures I promised you about the lights and decors I awed at every night...apparently I still manage to go over my regular hours at work that the huge, decorated tree I was so infatuated with would turn its lights off at around 11 p.m. leaving me disappointed and still hoping for it to come alive even after I've known it's really, really OFF by eleven, you know they might just turn it up just this time because I have my camera with me... but no such miracle ever ocurred in two succeeding nights that I stood at its base, mesmerized at how plenty the handmade stars were on that tree. Well maybe by December they will extend its "lit" hours...and oh what's that? ... my head talking to itself... another HUGE decorated tree across the road, whoa! equally tall and marvelous! Equally disappointing me at eleven! I should really call the Mayor about these things affecting my being patriotic and all that promotion I'm giving my BIG city to the world! tsk. tsk. it's so wrong to disappoint a tax paying citizen! Anyway, the hubby goes by saying "you can take photos of the ribbon wrapped tree-trunks along the road." It's lit overnight and not a tree is spared...hmmn.. yeah...those sparkly christmas balls too, remember those? you can't pluck them out so easily, you have to uproot the whole tree to get one! Plus, the police keeps a roving night patrol, so no luck on that either.

I have to maximize my time out everynight, that's the only time I breathe in natural air... as you know my life is tied to a project in India that just wont give me a bit of space to see the sun shine and do my rounds at the mall, I really need new shoes now. It's AC air day in and day out...*sigh* You know how thick my make-up is in the morning? ^^ It's enough to last the whole day so I don't need to re-touch! That's how tough the "battle field is" you have to wear long lasting make-up. Our Design Manager had just gotten a Doctor's certificate advising him to take a leave of absence for 2-3 weeks...he's got heart palpitations, yup! the project is winning us over...I mean winning over us! One by one our white flags are up in surrender, YOU WIN. My knees are bruised in prayer...please take your airport out of our hands because you don't like us anyway. I'm so looking forward to the day when we can all look back and laugh at this... haha. when.when.when. I try looking back ever so often, I don't want to miss the moment when the laughing starts! But for the instances that I turned around to see... we weren't laughing still.
Anyway, pay tribute to my efforts and the nights I spent missing the happily lit Christmas tree. I advise you to visit INDIA, once that beautiful new airport is built, I want you to run your palms to every glass window and metal claddings you see and be reminded of the person who whines about it on your shoulders almost everyday and that you gave comfort.

This is Paramore Live in Nashville.

loud.

...and in between work I gather my thoughts on things I could write about, I'm full of thoughts that hasn't been written in those times that I drowned myself with work...If you happen to want to visit India next year and land on the New Delhi International Airport, (Indira Gandhi International Airport) just think of the times I missed writing my life out! I swear this beautiful project wants to kill me by taking most of my time in a day just trying to make every square and lines, right. *sigh* It is trying to put me down and is winning actually...It's a very jealous project, it wont make me do grocery, laundry and quality time with the hubby. I'm stucked with a beautiful project that wont let me breathe, it even comes into my dream at night...India, i love you! You will get your airport on time and we wont charge you with our medical bills, stay put and relax! i love curry and the Taj Majal.
ack! I need a Paramore music to get me going, I need those loud, loud, loudness! Where's my metallica, I'm sure to have it somewhere! I'm dead tired. I aged in 2 weeks that I'm with the project! haha... yup, just two weeks and it's enough to make me want to re-think my life choices and career path! I love you, I hate you and I love you over again... but oftentimes, it's just hating the schedule but loving the project. Time is so cruel, why wont it drag itself when you need more of it?! I have "NEW MOON" to watch tomorrow at a semi-private theater where it is cozy and only 30-50 people are to watch... where are my tickets!!!! I don't have them yet and the premiere is tomorrow, my life is officially not happening for me at the moment...I'm running on auto-pilot mode again. Not thinking, just doing. I'm here but I'm really gone. I don't even know what the city looks like when there's still sun, I come to work in a sweater and slippers! No one cares, no one sees me anymore...but the good thing is: The GIANT Christmas tree down the road has been lit and I have it all to myself to enjoy, being out at the wee hours! No one else is there to stare up at it like it's the first time I've seen a decorated tree! It's a tree full of little colorful stars and a choir of angels at the bottom... it's Christmas! darn it, I don't have my camera with me but I will take photos for you, promise! ... and I wont, wont fail to mention that when you walk around, all tree trunks are wrapped in green and red ribbon. Big trees, small trees they are all wrapped-and I mean FULLY wrapped at the trunk while sparkly gold ribbons with shiny red and gold christmas balls droop on their branches. It's magical, it's like an enchanted forest when you walk into a section of landscaped trees and the Christmas balls where like teasing you to pluck them out! I don't know if others think of it that way, but I do want to pluck them out, it's too cute!

I'll let you know if I have any success plucking one out without getting arrested.

seventeen

yes.yes. work, love it. hate it. love it. I do wish I never dropped my rockstar dream and just do fun gigs for a living! Like Paramore...I don't know when exactly I started liking them but it's definitely not because of Twilight when their song Decode became O.S.T. I just happen to like them on my own, in my time...haha. I'm nearing 30 and I'm giggling at the posibilities of Hayley, the lead singer and Josh on guitars being together and inlove! It's like I'm 17 all over again, madly inlove with my overly protective drummer boyfriend! *sigh* crazy, free teen spirit days when you don't have bills to worry about...hmmnn??? where did the good times went? I still love my life now, but those days became just memories, when we hardly thought it would ever end! The nights and dawns of rehearsing and playing for the crowd...where oh where did it all go??? >< ...well, 3 of us went into architecture, one into the medical field and 2 are now engineers...how fun...what happened to their mad talent on guitars and drums? Do they still play? Ever again? ...How sad that we all just drifted apart, some came to my wedding but...my former drummer boyfriend, who's so artistic and moody and crazy is rumoured now to be gay. ^0^ Well, not that I protest I mean... he was obsessed with his looks and was very artistic, he drew me pictures everyday... he could be gay and I ... so what?! If he's happy!

Well, aren't we all just wishing time will be discriminating in favor of the best times and go slower than it does?

happy-nings

I've been out of the circuit for like god knows when and I haven't written anything in those times...sigh...yes, it's work. That's all I do with my time if I'm not blogging I'm at work!

Anyway, here's some good news...though I had missed it, The Katy Perry - "all for charity" concert, I still wanna share with you what this lovely lady and the band "Journey" did for my countrymen...(sounding very patriotic...eherm...) They did a concert with their entire net profit going to the Philippine National Red Cross for the typhoon victims! Brilliant, she is such a sweetheart, I never thought she'd care like that...knowing that she has that "diva-ish" flair about her in Hollywood, but she did and it was a hush.hush. she didn't gave that much interview about what she did and just showed up in a very dressed-down, ready to get to work attitude! But who can escape the press when you're someone like Katy Perry, so at least she got to promote the concert she was doing for charity by having that kind of exposure at the relief centers, where she handed down some supplies for the people. I like HERRRRR!^^ That's so nice of her...and after the concert she went clubbing and my friends were there to party with her while I....with my stupid schedule, was at WORK.

here are some clips:



^^ Thanks for dropping by, I swear I missed you!

It's getting nearer and nearer!We used to think we'd have enough time to plan and look at options but now it's more like a rush... what are we going to do on our FIRST year anniversary!!! weeeeeeeeeeeee! Time flies sooo fast that we are turning one year! very happy and exciting! Actually, it's still this December but we've been looking forward to this since the day after we got married! haha... I guess the whole experience of planning and the gathering of people closest to us made us want more of this kind of event to happen. We'd be so glad to get married each year!^^ We could marry in so many ways here in the Philippines, having many tribes and traditions to follow, we could just get adopted in those tribes and be married in their rites, that'd be cool...or seriously speaking, we can have a Baptist ceremony too, Ramil my husband is a Baptist but we got married in Catholic ceremony 'cuz I am one. Anyway, that topic could make a whole new post so, I'd just stick to YES, we can plan a Bapist wedding too,right? He got so excited when I mentioned that we can actually do that!^^ Among traveling, spa resorts and party with friends, that is one of our choices on WHAT TO DO ON YOUR FIRST YEAR ANNIVERSARY?!

Anyway, you'll find out what we decide upon soon!

Sharing you some photos from our last years before the wedding!...at a theme park of course!













Happy Weekend Everyone!!!

halloween newbie

We don't celebrate Halloween ever! I mean never as of yet. I don't call a few isolated celebrations to be a real Halloween season...but we're getting there, don't worry kids we will have Halloween within your lifetime!^^ What we have is "Todos Los Santos" or All Saints Day on Nov. 1 and All Souls Day on Nov. 2, where people spend time going to cemeteries, lighting candles, and bringing flowers for our beloved dead, usually just a quiet time for prayer and family reunion. I don't have anything against these things that I wanted to have a halloween ball or anything loud and rid of the solemn tradition, but what I want is to make these holidays less SPOOKY. It's a holiday for our beloved dead and not for the evil things that lurk in the dark or the paranormal things that give me chills. Maybe a "Halloween Party" could at least make the celebration light and less scary... even if the whole idea of Halloween is to scare, the stillness and smell of burning wax- from the candles scare me more ...and you can add the tales of ghosts and the unseen forces being told on TV documentaries! great. I now feel very uncomfortable, I don't like the dark and scary stuff, BUT maybe... if there'll be a hundred Edward Cullens out there in the dark and I'm Bella, I'd be happy to have Halloween all year round! har.har.har.

====
'Good thing, it's beginning...the whole Halloween Trick or Treat-ing is happening, little by little we will have our kids be doing this, instead of being outrightly spooked without the drama... at least they will be observing the old tradition while adopting a new one and wont be treating these holidays as "plain" scary as I do!

====
Anyway, here are some photos of my hubby's FIRST Halloween ever! Lucky him, he went to the US just in time for the Halloween last two-oh-oh-seven (2007!) yikes. Oh sshh... no one's too old for Halloween! I'm so jealous!






boo!

BIG wedding that I was not in.

So how is this related to my daily life being able to watch a wedding on the news yesterday...hmmnn...well it was said to be the wedding of the year as it befits royalty. A wedding between a senator and a tv journalist/news anchor. I don't know if it's really the wedding I want if I were a celebrity or royalty at all...you know the BIG crowd, the non stop flashing of cameras, shrieking fans, I don't know if I'd ever fit into that scene anyway, I'd be a total obsessive-compulsive mess! But there they are radiant, smiling, teary-eyed and owning the moment as if nothing else matters than meeting eye to eye down the longest aisle I've ever seen (so far) at the Santo Domingo Church. The theme was classic Filipino where the ladies wore traditional "Filipiniana" (Fi-li-pin-ya-na) dresses with butterfly sleeves and the men wore Barong Tagalogs, an embroidered, off-white, long-sleeved-collared shirt made of weaved pineapple fibers. Classic, very elegant and now I wished my wedding was Filipino themed...arrgghhh...it seemed so posh.

old picture of women in Filipiniana and men in Barong

Korina Sanchez is the bride and Senator Mar Roxas is the groom...hmmnn...now if you can remember me doing a post about Mar Roxas he is the supposed to be presidential candidate that gave way for a much popular candidate who is Noynoy Aquino...what's interesting is Noynoy Aquino is Korina's ex-boyfriend whom they made into a godfather in the wedding...haha...Noynoy is not even that old and is single. ^^

oh well... their fates are intertwined in so many, many ways you can read them in my older post.

here's the wedding on the news:

PS. I just learned that her florist was the same with the florist of my friend who wed in my last post. ^^

xoxo
Sassy loves weddings.

simplicity 2

And so the gift giving for the birthday people in my life isn't over yet...hardly. I've had 4 "gifted" people from the last post and was equally generous with them 'cuz they're all dear to me and though my gift were simple, they loved it! I'm glad to have friends who understands the misery of my pocket! ^^

Anyway, last night we were at another birthday party besides the 4 we had last Oct. 14, I have another close friend whose birthday was last night but this time, the hubby came to the rescue for the GIFT expenses. whew, sensing my distress of having too many friends celebrating in October, haha...I might consider that as a criteria before being friends with someone, I must impose NO MORE OCTOBER celebrant friends!^^ I'm fully-booked...^^...kidding! Of course no matter what, I'll be friends with people who are friends with me and are true, that's why I make such effort to be there for them and make them feel special regardless of my capacity to actually pay for anything GRAND because they deserve it!

The gifts this time were better, thanks to the hubby, he's nice isn't he? Buying all these presents for me...I mean NOT me but For me ...arrgh. That sounds complicated, but thanks to him I had no trouble choosing stuff that needs to go in the green bag.

===



Happy Birthday REESE and Zamer!

simplicity

oh I know they deserve more than just a canvass shopping bag, chocolates and a birthday card but that's what I got my 4 friends on their birthday today, :( I really wish I had given more but you see, I have no money for a much expensive present. I'm broke and yes, I should be applying for a credit card but my "permit to carry" from my dear husband Ramil has not been approved yet, he treats it like a lethal weapon in my clumsy hands, I cannot blame him ...when he left me with his credit card to use for emergencies when he was out of the country I spent it on so many "emergencies" any woman will understand! I needed that red, red shoes you know to match the lipstick I have and bought so many lovely curtains, books and 3 pcs.of paintings for the house with a discount using his credit card! Oh he laughs at the thought that he'd bought the curtains while being on a business trip as I said "Honey, you bought wonderful curtains" upon his entrance to the living room arriving from the airport, "Really, I bought those curtains?" "why yes darling, aren't you proud of yourself that you've made such fine choices?" while I whirled around to showcase 3 fantastic masterpieces hanging on our previously bare wall, " and you bought paintings too." He was smiling but that smile translates to "you're unbelievable!" So I handed back the credit card very, very slowly and wished I could just run away to where he could not ask me WHY?!

So NO everyone I dont own a credit card at all! And have not applied for a single credit card from any bank or grocery. I have to regain his trust that I won't be a spending machine when he leaves me his card again. I have to prove first that I am capable of budgeting and wont spend on anything that my RAW money cannot buy. But also, I could've afforded to buy a much expensive gift and saved more if only their birthdays doesn't fall in one day! It's already like Christmas but I don't have my bonus yet! But you know, the best thing on having friends is: No matter what the price-tag is on your gift, they'll love it like you've given them the world! One was even in tears when she read the card I wrote her and was not touching the red ribbon I tied the bag with because she said it was very pretty. ^^

Well I guess "No gift is ever too cheap or too expensive if it comes from the heart." still applies.

Take care y'all!

Love,
Sassy.

and ... here are the presents! tadaaaa! ~ aren't they too cute to be just a shopping bag? Maybe they can use it to carry around novels, or become a beach bag, or an art bag...whatever they can use it for actually, as long as the ultimate goal is to NEVER use plastic bags anymore, these bags will be awesome!

age of consequence

You know, when it's not better it's good. We don't want to think the worst though it is the worst this morning ever to hit the northern provinces of the Philippines. It's not over yet, Parma the typhoon that went away came back to stay for days...that's so weird for a typhoon to do but yes it did happen and it wanted to sweep off whatever is on its path very "thoroughly" leaving more than the damages Typhoon Ketsana caused. Yup, our miracle was short lived, but people are not losing hope. God is with us in this most difficult times, as people have not lost initiative in helping each other.

Manila and the nearby provinces are recovering good, it's the Northern Provinces this time that's been badly damaged and is submerged in deep, murky waters. WE ARE ONCE AGAIN APPEALING for your PRAYERS. That there'll be no more casualties adding up to statistics, we have accepted our fate that properties and land doesn't belong to us but borrowed from nature. Everyone is accountable for mother nature's wrath, small island countries like ours are the most vulnerable to Earth's abnormal rising of water levels brought about by too much heat in the atmosphere.

This isn't a WARNING...

"We are at the age of consequence"

=============================

my BIG happy City.

Hello bloggie world! It's been a tough, tough week for me but I'm fine now...I think everyone here is keeping their spirits up and is very positive to be moving on from what the Typhoons have brought the country. Help is flooding in, that's the kind of flood we want, HELP. ^^ Everyone's been very generous with helping in kind and in prayers. Thank you all.

Meanwhile, I'm sharing you photos of Manila I took 4 days before the flood happened. Aerial shots I took while on board a plane back to the "BIG CITY", you can see the greens and the buildings and the colorful rooftops...several places there have submerged in water, but we are hopeful in restoring everything to it's beauty.

So here goes Manila's Cityscape.

This is still my BIG happy city, despite the crazy weathers!

Have a good week ahead!
