tHiNkiN' oUt LoUd

And and right on time.. or should I say, day... Happy Wednesday!! It's mid week already.. The weather has been hot in the past few days.. so it is t-shirt kindav day for a few days now.. no more bulky jacket! I kinda miss the cool weather tho' not the freezing cold, just 18-22 kind of weather.. right now weather's ranging from 27-31 and the sun is really has that burning sensation on the skin.. Watching ... still the  kdrama "Because this life is my first". I wanted to update myself to criminal minds.. cause the last season I've watched was season 9 or 10 I guess.. knowing that I'll binge watch I am currently controlling the urges.. Thinking ..... well not really all the time.. but at times, I am thinking of what job or business I could get while staying at home.. perhaps a business or a work from home.. just for extra income.. I realize after not working for a year and a half now, that I miss having my own spending money.. Don't get me wron

I know I'm supposed to post  What's Up Wednesday.. but, my kids are not feeling well and I'm not in the mood as well.. so I just watch some  Korean variety that day.. no sub title tho but it was shot in the Philippines so I understood some parts, and when Henry Lau speaks English.. Real Men Ep 61-62 that is... Now, I'm listening to "Somebody else" from The 1975.. not really a fan of their songs but I adore the looks and character of Matty 😍 I've watched Mad dog yesterday, and today.. Watched "Because this life is my first" last Wednesday too.. the next episode is swoon worthy.. 💋💕 Well I tried this Cohen diet recommended by a friend.. "Velay" but it was hard for me.. I failed twice already.. but still pushing through.. It's like you have to choose from lists of veggies, fruits, meat, seafood you can eat.. no carb.. so I always end up, eating something not on the list in the middle of the day or ends up eating carb.. well.

Hi there! A busy Wednesday for me. Went to baby 2 school and invited a friend's son for the VIP/Grandparents visitors day.. Happy that Caleb enjoyed it. Of course I've watched episode 7-8 of Because this life is my first... Another swoon worthy acting of Lee Min Ki.. What a great actor.. he's actually my type, tall, slim boys... but of course, you'll never know whom you're gonna fall for... my hubby is not really tall, but he's at least slim... well before.. Speaking of...  I am planning to push my diet... I need to look at least 5kgs for december, just like a kick off.. then gradually lose 5 more till I reach my target... 50kgs... I hope.. Ate apple pie ( just the apples) for snack and quinoa with tuna for lunch.. Dinner.. planing to eat just crackers.. well I dunno... my migraine gets the best of me when I ate less... but I gotta fight it.. I guess I have to load myself with heaps of water... That's it for now... nothing much Ciao

Hey hey hey!! I'm back and I guess I can do this once a week from now on ( I hope!) I'm gonna start of with what I am watching.. I'm really really loving the new TVN romcom "Because this life is my first" Aside from the fact that Lee Min Ki is back in small screen after 10 yrs ( since Dalja's) but  if I'm gonna count that super epic cameo that made my heart skips more than a bit for hm, (referring to Shut up flower boy band's Byung Hee) then it's gonna be 5 yrs) I've watched his last movie Shoot me in the heart.. as always, he's damn good!!!  Well anyways enough of that  rave about Minki.. I just finished watching episode 6 of this drama and I can't wait for episode 7 which will be another agonizing week of waiting... this is the usual contract -marriage-boy-girl-living-together kinda'v drama.. but it's original and refreshing!.. Just watch it to know what I mean.. I can't believe I'm waiting for Mondays to come bec

with my blogging... I thought, having this "what's up wednesday" thing on my blog would make me write at least once a week.. then I failed... I don't know why, made due to being consumed by my kdrama binging, plus my regular chores and the worst.. procrastinating.. Anyways, it is not wednesday, but I'd update something about my blog.. Currently watching, While you were sleeping, Mad dog, Because this life is my first. I just finished eating an unhealthy cup of ramen... not good for the health, I wanted to stay way but at times I crave for it's delicious taste.. thanks msg hahahaha Wearing just a pull over and pants.. Doing, the laundry... and this blog. Dreaming of being able to finish my short story... Wanting to lose weight and be fit praying for miracles.... secret for now.. Ciao!

This post is a bit different from my "usual" what's up with me on wednesday. I've been feeling bursts of emotions in the past few days.. too sad, to happy, too irritated, too bored, too lazy, too nostalgic... I guess that's just because it is almost the time of the month, you know before red flag kicks in to girls, they are soo emotional.. I guess that is why.. I've been feeling nostalgic about my life as a teen, growing up, till y 20ish days. I've enjoyed those times, the feel of seeing your friends and doing simple things but made you happy. The thrill of seeing and running away from your crush at school ( I'm a bit weird, unlike others who has the courage to look and stalk or spy on their crushes, I do the opposite, I avoid and don't talk to them). The blast of emotions when you first realize you love someone.. I guess when you are currently on that stage you don't feel that grand emotions, but when you reach adulthood and look back,

Sure is! I forgot my what's up wednesday so this.. Totally Thursday, for now. hahaha I've been so into several things that I've forgotten to write my weekly blog. Currently eating... jumpy and coffee jelly, as snack.. I ate brekky at hungry jacks with the kiddos... Doing... multitasking, watching kdrama and blogging plus washing clothes (technically I just load it up) Wearing.. heat tech top and bottom hehehe.. I just came back from the supermarket just removed my sweater and pants.. Planning... to watch Minions 3 with the kids this Friday. First time for baby 2 & 3.. and it's been a while for baby no. 1 That's it for now.. ciao!

Yeah, I was planning to blog yesterday till I got preoccupied with my preparation for tomorrow's FCG. So anyways, it is still Wednesday in some parts of the world hehehe.. What I ate yesterday.. Junk food, I was too lazy to cook lunch, coz it was just me and my youngest son at home, so we decided to ate at Hungry Jacks, (like Burger King aussie version) I've watched... Fight for my way (a.k.a third rate my way), the Korean drama I've mentioned before... I really really like it. It made me feel like a teenager swooning over a couple.. hahaha.. What I did.. I was cleaning and buying organisers to make our house presentable for the fcg/bday dinner for my two kids... Then I made a wall photo frame from my instax mini out of a branch from a tree I took from my son's school.. I was happy about it.. here it is: Thinking of.. Cleaning and what else to change at home.. we are just renting here so  we are limiting our things, incase we need to move or if Go

I am not really familiar about this Holiday, but this is not really the exact date of birth of the Queen. This holiday happens every 2nd Monday of June if I am not mistaken. We are all down with cough and colds ( except for hubby) so we just decided to rest and stay home (timid pa). We just clean the house, bum around, watch movies with the kids, (Despicable me 1 & 2, even if they've watched it three times already) I guess they're showing it on cable tv to promote Despicable me 3 which we plan to watch this coming Saturday. I am feeling under the weather the entire day.. good thing I cooked our food last night before going to bed, so today I just heat up our breakfast, lunch and dinner. Yesterday, we went to Ikea briefly to buy bar chairs in prep for the 16th of June FCG/Bday celeb of my two sons C1 & C3. Their real birthday is 1st of June and 9th of June. We just wanted to celebrate it with new friends here in Aussie on Friday, during our connect group. It will

It's been a week since I last posted on my blog.. I've been meaning to blog about my youngest son's 3rd birthday but I was preoccupied with some stuff I need to do, mostly chores and taking care of three kids. My youngest turned three last June 1st. I can't believe it! I means those days where he is still a baby.. around 0-6 months hahahah.. now he always complains and want a whole lot of attention hahaha.. He is a very smart boy,  that is why he knows how to control his eldest and second brother.. I don't know but because I am a middle child, I think it is true that youngest are really like that? loool peace to all youngest child out there.. I've been busy since my eldest son is unwell. He started feeling the headach Sunday night, by Monday morning, he has a fever and cough and colds. I thought he'd get better by Tuesday because Tuesday night, he doesn't have fever anymore, but then, the freaking dry, chesty cough bothers him, or both of us the e

Heller!! It's wednesday once again... Chilly wednesday. Still we're lucky that winter in Melbourne never reached negative degrees.. not unless you go to the foot of the mountains to see snow. Anyways.. here's what I'm up to.. Eating.. Toast bread with baked beans and mochaccino instant coffee. I ate quinoa and sirena tuna in oil with basil for lunch. Watched.. Third rate my way, is a new addition to three of my kdrama series that I've been watching weekly. Adding My love from the star Philippine version. So far, the remake is pretty good for my liking. I was expecting less, but they delivered it well.. but as they say.. nothing beats the original version. Thinking of.. What to cook for  Caiden's birthday, tomorrow. He'll turn 3 years old.. I'm also thinking of what to cook on the 16th.. we'll be celebrating Corbin and Caiden's birthday on the 16th with few friends we've met here down undah.. Planning.. Cath and I planned to

It's been a year since we moved down under. We moved here 28th of May 2016. At that time, I've had this mixed emotion of sadness, happiness, worry and excitement. I was happy and  because we've been waiting for this, and it will be a great journey most specially for the kids. We are excited to explore the vast land it has to offer. Plus, coming from a tropical country, excited to feel the cold weather and the 4 seasons! I was sad to leave my friends behind and my colleagues, and my work. It was the first time I will be jobless and will focus on the kids and the family. I am so worried of what will happen with our future, thinking if this is really the right thing to do, what if we are just confused? Things like that keeps running through my mind. Thanks be to God for giving me peace of mind and assuring me that wherever we may go He will take care of us. I am holding on to His promise, "I will never leave you nor forsake you" and our family's verse Jer.

I almost forgot to write my WUW.. whew! good thing I remembered.. I've been busy with my chores since I temporarily withdrew from my social media and series and drama watching.. so no time to procrastinate, which is  a good thing, I've accomplished lotsa tasks.. I am about to sleep so everything is in past tense.. ...ate Pancit (from last night) for brunch and banana bread from coles.. I don't usually eat lunch on weekdays.. I ate chicken fajita wrap that I made for dinnah! 😋 watching.. Not watching anything at the moment.. I've watch a few finals playoffs from NBA yesterday... DubNation here.. (we'll I was lakers before..) ..listening to.. Pastor Bong Saquing's old sermon, I think from 2 years ago..  If you wanna watch it click here He is one of the pastor of Christ Commission Fellowship in the Philippines. Since we went to AU we do not have a home church yet, if we didn't attend sunday service from Stairway church, we watch the live stree

G, for ganap, or what have I been up to... Friday, busy day because it was what I thought, was my last minute shopping for Saturday night's party. But it turned out, it is hard to shop with 3 kids hanging on my skirt, not literally. My eldest son doesn't have school because it was their teacher's curriculum day. I don't really know what it meant, but more like doing some lesson plan I guess.. My second kid, well, let's just say I was too lazy to send him and pick him up for his kindy. My bad.. so there you go.. It was a total riot! Mainly because the unexpected tantrum of the most street smart among the three.. the yougest! He did some all out crying when we were in Target, without stopping! His crying voice is really loud! I was controlling myself not to get angry, well just because we are in a public place and I don't really want to shout and scream for him to stop. So I told them, let's just go home, while walking towards the parking lot, the eldest th

At last, I've made a decision to buy the most comfy and a bit formal clothes I can think of.  I have tried on different dresses, and different brands. Ang mahal pala ng dress dito kahit sale. And, those dress from H&M doesn't really fit my apple-shaped body. It was so hard for me. I have a slim arms and legs but my mid section is very full, top it up with a flat butt, ang sagwa lang.. Anyways, I bought two skirts, and it was an epic fail. I looked nice sa fitting room, pero when I tried it sa blouse na I was planning to wear, duh!! It emphasize my flat but and the humps on my upper hip, plus the love handles... what the!.. Now, I thought, I wanted something comfy, because I will be attending the party with my 3 boys, so I said, why not wear a formal shorts? My hubby doesn't like it at first, he thinks shorts can't be worn for formal occasions, I guess wala lang siyang idea. But I've seen a lot of those in the past. So I said I'd settle for shorts, it'

 I'm back! I was planning to post a blog last Sunday because it's mother's day, but I procrastinated until I forgot about it. I've been busy lately, going back and fort to shopping centers because I need a dress or something to wear this Saturday for a semi-formal party which I am not used to.. I am a jeans and shirt plus sneakers kind of gal.. It's so stressful, specially if you have an apple bod like moi... Anyways, going back to topic... Food I ate/eating... I ate smoked salmon and black rice for dinner, ang some dumplings for brunch..  Honestly, I am not a fan of brown, red or whatever rice.. I just got curious with the black rice, which they say is much "healthier" and "fat-free", and I liked it! I thought only quinoa can substitute for my ever favorite white rice... but no.. Black rice tops it! But then again, it  pricey... so I guess I can alternate it with quinoa.. Yes, I am TRYING to be fit ( crossing my fingers) I realize it is 

I've decided to make this what's up Wednesday on my blog. Just to be sure that at least once a week I have a blog entry. Crossing my fingers though. Food I ate/eating... I ate caramel chiffon cake and Mochaccino from Costco. That would be my brunch I guess.  I wanted to go on a diet.. and like most of you guys, I failed. I needed to control my cravings and discipline myself.. well, we'll see about that. Movies/Series I've watched/ watching... I am a kdrama fan, but recently, got hooked into this Pinoy rom-com drama. I just saw some tweets about it and I tried watching it recently, it started January, entitled "Meant to be". It is a feel good drama, reminds me of meteor garden, boys over flowers, cinderella and the 4 knights, but this one, all four men fall for her.. haba ng hair sobra...so now I'm hooked Feeling... I'm feeling sick, it is my first day or should I say day 1 and a half of my period and my migraine welcomes it with open arms

Here I go again, missing out with my blog entries.. well at least it didn't take years for me to realise that. I am not really that busy but I don't know, I just forgot about it... Anyways I wanted to try to write random facts about me, nakikigaya lang sa other bloggers... so here it goes.. 1.  I am a pessimist, a nega, negastar kind of person, I am TRYING my best to change that though, cause nothing good comes out of it, it just makes me feel emo, at all times, at galit sa mundo. 2. I am an only girl, I have wished to have a sister before, but I guess I am meant to be an Only Girl! I thank God at least he gave me 4 girl cousins, I grew up with them, they are like sisters to me. 3. My uncles used to take care of me when I was young, because my mom have those so called "rakets" or sidelines, thus growing up I became fond of listening to  "The Cure" and other 80s songs. and movies. 4. Edward Scissor hands is the first Johnny Depp movie I've watche

I haven't been blogging. I was busy trying my luck, or should I say my path in writing short stories. I've started with something that I know, the lovestory of how me and my husband met. Of course It'll be boring if I don't give a twist and infuse some elements that is not really part of the real story. So it is just more of, "inspired by" but  damn! It is hard. I salute all the brilliant minds of all those writers! Their imagination is exceptional! It is easy to write based on experience, but writing based of something you just thought of is the bomb! Anyways, just updating... and now back to regular programing Ciao!

It's a holiday here in Australia. They are celebrating Anzac day. It is one big thing for them, showing their patriotic side. They  felt so thankful and proud to those troop who fought the battle in World War 1. I can feel the love they have for their country. I wish my own country does have that side, the love for country, if you love the country you would not let it go down hill. Anyways I am currently trying to write a romance story inspired by my own love story. How I met my husband. It will be a bit boring so I need to infuse some fictional events characters and plots. I salute all the writers out there. It is definitely not easy. It needs a creative imagination, and of course talent. Since I said I want to find what I am passionate about, I will try the things I wanted to do growing up. Good luck to me

Have you ever experience, trying out things you wanted to do. Starting it right, but you left yourself hanging in the middle, until you forget about it and try something new..? I don't know how to explain it, but I have that habit of trying out a hobby, starting it, being soooo into it, then due to unforseen circumstances or due to another interest, I just stopped, and leave it all behind. Hah! Soo hard to express it, let me just give you an example... I tried to do scrap booking when I was still single.. good thing I was able to at least finish a scrapbook of me and my then boyfriend (now husband) and gave it as a gift for our anniversary.. I promise to put some more photos after, but then I stopped. Fast forward to me having my first kid, here I go again, creating a scrap book, finishing half of it, then stopping. I don't know.. maybe I get too engage in other things, kdrama, american series or whatever. I also tried, planning, personal planner, kikki k stickers etcetera

I started my job as a homemaker, a full time mom, a housewife last April 23, 2016. That was the first day of me being jobless. I was praying for this moment for a long time, and God gave me a chance to fulfill this dream. But when it happened, I get this mixed emotions of being happy, sad and worried at the same time. We are having financial issues for a loooong time, and this is the only way out we could forsee, to move out of Singapore get our CPF pay for those tons of loans and debts we've had and start a new. Starting a new is really hard. For a first time housewife, it was a struggle. I was losing patience most of the time. With 3 boys, that are two toddlers and one with special needs. What would you expect. It was not easy but it was not all hardships, cause these boys are sooo sweet and fun to be with. But of course I had to deal with their tantrums and whining, and I had my own share of mood swings and lazy days. I am still learning alot of things. At time I felt

Today marks the first anniversary of my last day of work. I have been working ever since I graduated.  Before our graduation, I got an offer to work right away as technical support. I started working since then.. stopped for a year when I've had some issues with me getting pregnant with my first son, (which is the first reason why I started this blog.) Then went back to work when he turned 1 year old. I really love working, well not the job itself but the friends and the pay that comes with it! hahaha! I don't know why at this age, I still don't really know what I want to do with my career goals hehehe. Even if I graduated, I just took up that course not because I like it, but because I can't think of anything at that moment. Growing up, I've got tons of things I wanna be when I grow up.  I wanted to be a detective, a news anchor, a film editor, a book writer, a scientist, chemist, field reporter, theater actress and so much more.  Going into IT was not

“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.” - Bob Marley

Sometimes, I feel that I just exist and not living...  I know it is a fantasy to dream of a perfect world in an imperfect world.. Maybe that is why I love watching Korean dramas because in a way I can temporarily feel how it is like, living in reel world... I felt like I am trying but it is still not enough, I know, I  procrastinate at times.. but I get tired too. Don't I deserve to at least give myself a time to do my own thing?  Or am I not allowed since I need to do  1.... so on of things at home.. I think the reality of me not earning my own money is getting into me.. I felt I don't deserve to complain or feel bad because I don't contribute anything to this household.. I know that is not right... My pride is slowly getting into me..   breathe... 

I've started this blog way back 2007. My deets about myself is a bit different from before.. Here is the old one when I was 27 I think? so 10 years ago... I love to travel, (though I have no money to do that all the time hehehehe).. I love the beach...I can be VERY QUIET (not really shy) AT FIRST, but when you get to know the real me..i'll be your worst nightmare and your sweetest dream bwahahah!my friends would think im "mababaw" in all sense of the word ..simple things makes me happy, petty things can make me snap, i laugh at the corniest joke..simple things makes me cry..i dont look like one but im a crybaby!..i sometimes lose my mind and go nuts.. i think im crazy..I hate liars, but who doesn't I myself is guilty of lying somethings and I hate myself for that. i love to defend women...im transparent, what you see is what you get.. when im fed up it shows, when im happy it shows, when im sad it shows im not good at pretending what I feel. ive got lots o

Whew!  It seems like my blog was deactivated for a looooong period of time! Yup! I haven't been posting here... since 2015... I guess I've been too busy or preoccupied will a lot of things that I've forgotten to even write once in a while in this blog site.. There has been a lot of things going on in my life... We've made a big decision to move to Melbourne last year ( May 28 2016 to be exact) without a guaranteed security, because we will be moving via temporary resident visa ( working visa) granted to my husband's company.  Yes, will be transferred laterally in their Melbourne office. It was something we wanted, but we hesitated too. We are residents in Singapore (except for my 2 younger kids) so it is a big risk. Aside from the fact that I will stop working and will be a stay-at-home mother. For the very first time, I will have no income, except for the love I'll be receiving.. hehehe Well to make the long story short, we have already finish
