Bruce Lee (kot): The Drunken Master


This is the effect of watching too much of Kung Fu Panda on my son, Adriel, which was then 1 year and 10 months (2 months ago).

After having it watched for 3 consecutive times, non-stop; he had already mastered the karate moves that will enable him to inherit the throne of Bruce Lee. I was surprised when I saw him pull his moves in front of my eyes. He made me laugh so hard during that time.

When his Dad arrived from office, I asked Adriel to show Daddy his new trick. Being the good but very naughty boy that he is, he has done as per my request. Fortunately, Dad captured it on video.

My baby boy is just so cute. Hope you enjoy this video as much as we did. :)

The Reality Behind Dream Weddings


It's already June! We are already half-way through the year 2011. This month reminds me of two things - School Opening (in the Philippines) and Weddings! Most girls wanted to be called a June Bride, right?!?

On the first day of June, I find it apt to come up with an article associated with weddings. To be able to bring to life and put to reality one's dream wedding is a challenge and when once accomplished is surely a bliss. Please find time to read through the article I've written on the Reality about Dream Weddings by clicking on the link below.

Coraline in a Poem


Coraline is a fantasy/horror novel written by Niel Gaiman which was made into a stop-motion 3D fantasy children’s film in 2009. It is a bit strange and creepy unlike your usual kiddie animation. Both the kids and adults will enjoy watching it.

It has been my son’s favorite movie for this week. After having seen the movie today thrice in a row, non-stop, I came up with this poem to tell the gist of Coraline’s story.

Thoughts on The Relationship Guide for Women

I have once read this list of “tips for girls with regards to relationship” long time ago, in one of my friend’s bulletin at Friendster. Out of boredom, I have jotted down my thoughts regarding them and came up with this that I might as well share to you.

Things to Remember When Flying with a Toddler

Last February, I flew together with my one year and seven months old toddler from Manila to Doha. I am greatly elated by the fact that I did survive the trip. Surely, it was not easy. It was the first time for me to travel alone with my hyperactive toddler.

How It Feels to Fall in Love

Allow me to share with you the first poem ever written for me in November 2004 by my then suitor, who happens to be the person who I am sharing my I.P. address and forever now, my dear husband.

With words as sweet as these, how can he not capture my heart?

From my old notes to Triond...

I have signed up with the site Triond which allows you to submit written articles and poems for them to publish. As I am having a hard time putting my thoughts together to come up with something to submit to them, I found these words jotted down at the last pages of my bluebook years ago really helpful…

I have managed to copy them before having my blue book thrown out. I actually can’t remember what drove me to write down these thoughts.

I don’t know if it has something to do with my personal or a friend’s circumstance at that time (i really can’t remember…). It could have been just like the other doodles you usually can find in most of my notes. Perhaps, they were just the fruit of the long boring lectures I had to go through during that time…


When you were down,
I was there to pick you up.
When you cried for help,
I hurriedly reached out.

While you were drowning,
I bravely dived in.
But when it was me who was sinking,
"Where have you been?"
_________________________________

My life is a mess,
Can’t help but feel less.
Feels like i am restless.
Why do I have to go through such a test?
_________________________________

It is only right now that I feel like this,
I feel nothing but only piss.
I don’t know why, I end up in cries,
Maybe I am fed up with so many lies.


I made use of these words to come up with my second Triond submission. I just had this expanded and added up some more words to it and was able to come up with a poem entitled "On Broken Friendship" which was published via Triond at Authspot ( http://authspot.com/poetry/on-broken-friendship/ ). I'm hoping you'd take a read at it.

The poem talks about disappointments and failed friendship. It's a bit saddening and I'm hoping none of use would come to the point of dedicating this poem to anyone whom we are close to and whom we do consider as a friend.

Reading this never fails to make my heart warm =)

My Husband's First Attempt at Blogging (As lifted from my multiply account post on the 25th Jan 2008)

let me share to you my husband's first attempt at blogging. he wrote this entry on the 22nd of january 2008 and posted it on his friendster blog account. i was in awe and almost in tears after reading it. looks like it was not that bad for his first try at blogging.

let me guys have it reposted here in my multiply account (with his permission of course) for it makes me proud as his wife to let everyone know not only about his writing prowess (looks like he's going to give his sister a run for her own money) but also of the kind of husband he has been to me.

Indeed I am blessed to have him in my life. I am forever thankful to God for he has brought us together us together in his planned manner and time. He heard and listened to what my heart is yearning for.... "that is to find someone who could love me in the same manner as my dad loved and is continually loving my mom.

I definitely got more than i wished for.

You've found treasure when you found a wife

As the saying goes “You’ve found treasure when you found a wife”

But how in the world would you know if you found the “one” you will spend the rest of your life with in the first place

The fact is, it’s never been easy to find the “right one”, it’s complicated but we need to start somewhere…..

Forget about those sweet little things and petty LQs you used to have during that “sweetheart stage”. Because after the wedding, it’s a different world out there....different in the sense that you will get to know each other more and much deeper......and I mean much deeper.... as you will uncover those skeleton in her closet and dug bodies more than the holocaust....It’s the best and the worst of her

You will experience those things that you’re not expecting her to do....be it good or horrible things

Still thinking she’s the treasure?

Back in my college years, I always hear my Comm III instructor quoting “chivalry is dead” and I am always the first one to object in the class because I firmly believe that women deserves unsurpassed respect and treatment (kahit ganito ako, ganito na talaga eh).In short ayoko ng babaeng pinapaiyak at pinapahirapan! And i tried to prove HER wrong in my own little ways. One time, I offered my bus seat to a fellow student (i think she’s also from UP) not because she’s charming but because she’s the only person standing and she’s right next to my seat. You know what she said to me: “Kaya kong tumayo!” and then gave me that dagger stare. Whoa! Talking about violent reaction, But that didn’t stop me because most of the time “they” positively appreciate such gestures.

It’s actually rewarding when you do such things ....even if they are strangers

But I never thought how rewarding it was when it comes to your wife

How exited I was to see her reaction when she was about to taste what I’ve cooked for dinner

On how happy I am when she noticed that I’ve done a “room service deluxe” to our small nest

On how firm I am to stop her when she wants to iron my clothes especially the “pambahays”

Or how I will ask her to rest and relax while I do the laundry....

I never thought how fulfilled and satisfied I would be to make her smile each morning and to make her feel she’s a princess in my own personal dreamland

It’s a pretty common sight and I’ve heard this statement a lot already from men of all walks of life “A lalake dapat ang laging nasusunod, and babae dapat lagi ka lang pagsisilbihan... ano ka “ander”, etc?!?”

If you want someone to serve you that way, go get yourself a maid instead of a wife and continue with your miserable life (Still thinking that you are the man?! ...sorry there is no cure for a low-life scumbag such as you)

I just can’t put into words how blessed I am to have her in my life and how good she was to me

How she loved and accepted me despite of being my self

For being my best friend and my fortress

And she ought to have all the love and care in the world

So, I’ve came up with two very simple reasons why I do those things that I am doing for my wife, first because I am happy doing so...

And secondly and perhaps the more significant reason is....she just deserves it.

So who says you can determine in any way that the girl in front of you is the treasure you’ve been looking for all your life.... well you can’t... not in a million years

And I don’t think you will........not until you finally got married and live under the same roof

As for me, I’ve found mine... maybe I just got lucky..... She’s exceptional and rare......that is why she’s precious and dear.........that is why she’s called treasure


Forgive my syntax, sentence structure and English...... I am an engineer

Hyatt Park Doha

sunset and silhouettes: me and my son by the pond while the sun sets

My husband and I have been working and living here in Doha since 2006. In those five years, we spent most of our time inside our workplace and inside our home. During weekends, you would often find us either malling (which does not appeal to us so much because my workplace is inside the mall) or just at home, watching tv.

We rarely go out to explore places within Doha. I basically thought that Doha is nothing but concrete and sand. Now that i get to get out more (cause we need to bring our a year old and 9 months old first born out or else he'll tear our place down) I recognize that there are more nice places here to see here than expected.

It is my first time to visit Hyatt Park. It is located beside Villagio Mall right behind Hyatt Plaza. I think the place is lovely. It proves to be a heaven for our little boy. There he could run freely on the grass, go up and down the slope (there's a small hill inside), watch the birds, fishes and ducks in the pond and enjoy the cold breeze of fresh air while having a hearty snack at the cafe. The place is tranquil and refreshing, i actually did enjoy it too! I guess we'll frequent the place more before the summer sets in.
