Travel Plans

We have a lot for the year. Plan is the operative word, LOL. I hope we get to push through with all of them though as once I get pregnant and have a second baby, traveling will be a lot harder, I assume.
As of the moment, I made Jon agree on two international travels already :) Destinations I’m not divulging yet, hehe. I’m still haggling for a third but no assurance yet. Still, I’m keeping my fingers crossed. We’re currently trying to settle some terms but if and when we manage to compromise, most probably, it’ll be clear :) I wish!
Thinking about all our travel plans for the year makes me so excited. I can’t wait! There’s so much to look forward to 2008 :) 2007 was a good year for us, travel wise, but I’m hoping this year will be as good too :)

what’s up?

I’m still yayaless as of the moment (read here) so I still can’t stay in front of the pc for more than an hour. Whenever I have the chance to sneak in a few posts, it has to be my expiring tasks you know ;p

Anyway, to make the most of my time, I bought Jon’s laptop this morning. I was at Starbucks while waiting for Sophia’s class to finish and I was able to write a couple of posts which were all expiring today. Hay, buti na lang :)

Tomorrow at 9am, Jon and I are off to Rosemont for our interview. You see, parents are to be interviewed first even before the kids get to have their turn. I wonder what it’ll be all about. Jon canceled an important meeting for it, you know. Our motto has always been “family first” daw, yeah right! I hope it goes well :) Wish us luck!

the swing of the moment

Sophia’s new pastime every afternoon - her swing :)

I wonder if her love for this swing will even last a week, LOL!

the silver shoes

After all the searching for that perfect “dressy” silver shoe, I gave up and got Sophia these silver flats from Rustans yesterday for tomorrow’s wedding. I was supposed to get her ballet flats from Gingersnaps but they don’t have her size anymore so I had no more choice. The dad said these looked fine though and the little girl loves them and she calls them her “glass shoes”.

tagaytay highlands membership

What do you think of Tagaytay Highlands now? Is it still worth buying a membership share there? I haven’t been there for ages so I really don’t know if its still as nice although friends still have the nicest things to say about the place. Well, members kase sila hahaha. Biased, maybe? Give me your thoughts nga. We are “considering” it eh, so we’ll have a weekend getaway place every now and then. I’m sure the little girl will have fun there, don’t you think?

awards again

Thanks to Chat for these awards. I, together with Jacqui, were your first ever online friends pala? Sweeet!

I’m now passing the same awards to my last five visitors on my bloglog - Apols, Tinggay, Jiggs-Toni, Yvetchie and Peachy.

what my name means

Snagged this one from Apols.

What Mary Jane Means


You are confident, self assured, and capable. You are not easily intimidated.
You master any and all skills easily. You don’t have to work hard for what you want.
You make your life out to be exactly how you want it. And you’ll knock down anyone who gets in your way!

You are usually the best at everything … you strive for perfection.
You are confident, authoritative, and aggressive.
You have the classic “Type A” personality.

You are wild, crazy, and a huge rebel. You’re always up to something.
You have a ton of energy, and most people can’t handle you. You’re very intense.
You definitely are a handful, and you’re likely to get in trouble. But your kind of trouble is a lot of fun.

You are a free spirit, and you resent anyone who tries to fence you in.
You are unpredictable, adventurous, and always a little surprising.
You may miss out by not settling down, but you’re too busy having fun to care.

You are fair, honest, and logical. You are a natural leader, and people respect you.
You never give up, and you will succeed… even if it takes you a hundred tries.
You are rational enough to see every part of a problem. You are great at giving other people advice.

You are very intuitive and wise. You understand the world better than most people.
You also have a very active imagination. You often get carried away with your thoughts.
You are prone to a little paranoia and jealousy. You sometimes go overboard in interpreting signals.

You are friendly, charming, and warm. You get along with almost everyone.
You work hard not to rock the boat. Your easy going attitude brings people together.
At times, you can be a little flaky and irresponsible. But for the important things, you pull it together.

my monday

I’m going to be real busy today, Monday.

Once I drop Sophia off to school, I’m going to troop to Rosemont to submit application papers and requirements of the little girl for us to finally schedule an interview. Parent’s interview first, remember? Once I’m done, I’ll be heading to the mall to look for silver shoes Sophia needs to wear for my cousin’s wedding this Saturday. We just had our fitting yesterday and my oh my, the little girl didn’t want to take her gown off, LOL. She was dancing ballet while she was wearing the gown to the designer’s delight. Oh, I can’t wait for Saturday. I’m one uber excited mommy can you tell? Anyway, I need to make a quick trip to the supermarket too to get some stuff, a lot actually - fruits and food supply. I’m itching to eat bicol express because of my chat with Peachy the other day so I’m getting stuff for that and will ask my helper to cook it for dinner. Hay, I bet super sarap. Peachy, try the recipe na! Before I forget, I also need to get Sophia a school certificate from Toddlers Unlimited today for something I’m not revealing yet haha.

By the time I get home, I promised myself to give time in organizing my drawer! Goodness, there could be a snake nesting inside and I wouldn’t even notice! LOL. Ang gulo, I need to fix it by hook or by crook. Wish me luck. I hope opps won’t get in my way today, haha!!!

Have a Happy Monday everyone.
