Old Friends and Cuenca Batangas

What I miss about Cuenca is the quietness and the simple living of my friend. This is my getaway whenever I need a break from the city. I and my friends from Kuwait love to stay at Arnold's home surrounded with coffee, my favorite lanzones and many crops. Arnold is my good friend whom I lost contact 3 years ago or so and hoping that one day he will stumble upon this page and get in touch with me. There are many good memories in their place, Nanay and Tatay are very hospitable whenever the group was there.

Four years passed so quickly each of us faced our own destiny but as a friend I am hoping that one day I'll be able to reach with you guys. I have been searching and trying to reach you all and hope that through friendster or facebook you can all can find me. Anyway, speaking of Cuenca, I miss those times when the group go to Arnold place spend nights and enjoy the beautiful green place. The best part of it is that when Nanay and Tatay reserved a lanzones tree and invited me when the fruits are ready. I love the sound of the night where airconditioner is no longer needed as you will cuddle yourself with the natural nature cool breeze. The sound of the growling owls like a lullaby in our ears. The water well closer to the house but you need to slowly go down to the steep hill to get to the well.

Hope one day I will be able to visit this place again like before, where I can eat fried rice in the morning with dried fish and fried eggs. I hope that you guys did not forget about me, the "bunso", coffee addict and the "sutil" in the group. As I know when I have the chance to get in touch with you all.

Goodbye Twenties

I can't believe how time flies fast, it seems like yesterday I was a little kid who did not bother with anything but food, school and play. Things has changed so age, that little girl whom they call "bulilit" bloomed to be a lady. Now saying goodbye to her twenties, yep I just turned 30 ohhhh gossshhh!!!! What 30ish life would bring to me? It feels the same like when I was in my twenties maybe if I am still single at this time I will go crazy thinking about myself being an old maid. Holy molly! After next year my age will no longer be in the calendar, it feels good though shall I start my another 20s? As they said 30 is the new 20 so am I.....

How did my birthday go? Oh nothing especial since I need to go to work except my boss Mila gave me a little surprise with pizza and "ginataan" dessert. Aside from that they gave me half day to work and I can go home to celebrate my birthday. While my hubby as to go to work as well and he has to go to his team building at the lake Marilou took me home. They've been asking me to go happy hours to celebrate my birthday but I was hesitant to do so. Instead, waited home for my hubby as we've planned to go shopping and have dinner of my choice.

The 3 hours wait at home is such the longest wait in my life, so I took my notebook in the bedroom watch TFC and darn! Homesickness attacked me, ohh no not at this time please! I did entertain myself by taking the dog out, farming and friendsters but then I felt so sad at that day. I want to talk to someone but hey if I call the Philippines I'm pretty sure I will wake them up in the wee hours. Went down, opened the fridge look for something to eat and there I found a bottle of beer and found myself drinking. Yep, that was my first beer in the US after 2 years.

Hubby came and took me to shopping for my birthday darnnnn!!! Why when I have all the luxury to shop I can't find something. Went to the shoe stores, Macys and different shops grrrr I found nothing but a cutie blouse, shorts and capri pants. My hubby was so patient in following me with no complaint at all. Finally I got tired and headed to the Cheesecake Factory but there was a long line looks like a lotto line back home so I told hubby let's find another place and ended up to a Chinese Restaurant instead.

Thank you my friendster friends for all those greetings from all over the world, to all my relatives and to my loving MIL who gave us her presents in advance and for the first person who sang me happy birthday in my phone. I am now officially 30 and still trying to sink in of being a 30 year old wifey.

What's New?

Oh well, I have been preoccupied with farming these past weeks, no time to update m blogs but every now and then I peek here. What's up with me? I had my dental appointment, glad to have found excellent cosmetic dentist here in our place. I had 4 consecutive visits to them every 6 weeks to check out on the development of my teeth. Their plan is to have my 2 crowns replace with porcelain but I haven't said to them yet. I told them no more root canal for me or heck I'm going to run away.

I thought I'm the only one having this problem and so my friend in NJ. She's been looking for Orange New Jersey cosmetic dentist that she can trust so her teeth will be fixed. She had her braces back home, now that she moved in the US she wanna find a good dentist who will take care of her dental needs.

Where Was I?

Well, well, well! I'm back! Sigh! It's been a busy week farming, yep farming in FB! We are into it and no time even blogging. There were many things happened, all good! I've met my friend Gracy though short time but it's all worth it. Then I discovered this game in FB and hubby got hooked to it as well.

Then in the week of our anniversary and birthday my loving MIL spent a long weekend with us. Thanks Mom! She took us to the San Juan Islands and had a great time whale watching. The Orcas are lovely, did I say we are lucky to see the pods on that beautiful day? Yep we saw them! Got some vids but too big to upload here. We had our great anniversary and birthday dinner too and all courtesy of our Mothra.

Slimming Tips

Joining forums is very helpful at least in my case, as I learn a lot of things from other people. Before I buy products I read their reviews first say for example my face mask product I made sure that the reviews is not below 4 stars at least. In girl forums I regularly visit I am learning a lot from beauty products, gaining weight tips which I am trying to do and also slimming pills review where most of them are trying to get the best pill. They are not only talking about positive views but also their negative experience from each of them.

Cross Country Moving

Moving is painless when you found the right movers to assist you from the little details until you get to your destination. Prior to moving here last year we shop from different cross country movers before we finally picked the one that we think will work great for us. We did not regret choosing our movers as they are very professional yet friendly. Every detail is communicated well with us from the estimate, insurance, packing and storage when it get to the its destination.

As I thought moving is such a pain but I was wrong, our movers packed our stuff all we did was watched them and supervise. Everything reached our new place safe they even help us unpacked and assemble furniture. They came back after 3 days to pick up the empty boxes so we really had a smooth move from the East Coast to West Coast.

Clean and Green Garden

Gardening is one of my hobbies since I was a kid. During my elementary years our school principal used to excuse me from my classes whenever they need someone to plant in our school garden whether it could be ornamental plants, fruit bearing plants or vegetables. She believes that I am gifted in planting as they grow pretty fast and keep our school on top from clean and green contests in our school district.

I am looking forward to own our home with a big yard so I can utilize my planting gift again. I am so jealous whenever I see beautiful plants in our neighborhood and mimic that one day I will have my beautiful garden too with different plants. I want to have different plots for veggies, flower plants next to the fence and edible plant in each plot so we can grow them in our own yard and pick them when it's ready. This will be a great savings too aside from being homegrown we are also sure that they are free from chemicals.
