One day, I took the public transpo to the town proper to buy Aloha's Bowow. I took the front seat, assuming that the ride will be comfy on that spot. As we pass by San Antonio de Padua, a guy in a Toy Kingdom uniform rode the jeep and shared the front seat with me, carelessly puffing his cigarette smoke on my face.

 

I asked him, "kuya, don't you see the (No Smoking) signage?"

He said, "Nakikita ko."

 

Effective 07 January 2010, the LTFRB has required that all Public Utility Vehicles (PUVs) and public land transportation terminals be 100% smoke free.  LTFRB Memorandum Circular 2009-036 provides that PUV drivers and operators are responsible for posting "No Smoking" signs in their vehicles.  Drivers are responsible for warning their passengers and co-workers against smoking inside PUVs and may ask non-compliant passengers to leave the vehicle.  Operators and owners of public land transportation terminals should also post "No Smoking" signs within the terminal and should prevent smokers from lighting up in any indoor area or in areas near where people congregate.  
Failure to comply with said duties and responsibilities under the Memorandum Circular will subject violators to fines ranging from P500 to P10,000, suspension of the PUV's certificate of public convenience or in some cases, cancellation of the said certificate.

Ate Aton's Fan

The long queue inside Ice Monster brought our mother- daughter tandem into a sneak photoshoot. LOL

Aton was alone on this pic:


And there's a little Kuya na umaaligid:

The little kuya was pretending to be shy and was hiding behind the tarp.

  

Later on, the kuya introduced himself and requested me to take a picture of him with my daughter.

The funny part here was this little kuya bid my little girl goodbye with a flying kiss and a pahabol: "I love you!"

Kids these days talaga!:)

A New Career Perhaps...

This is my new interest. 

Die-hard!



I've never thought I'd be venturing into this. But here we are now... And Drich has been supportive. :)

Happy 77th Birthday Dad!

It's Dad's birthday. He would've been 77 today had he not joined Papa God in 2008.

I miss Dad. I miss him so much! I can still remember the last time I bid him bye for work. That was in June 18. I was not even able to kiss him goodbye that night. I don't know why I did not. That's one thing I regret.  I even went on overtime the next morning and was not reading the messages on my phone.  I was not even answering the phone calls since I was in a meeting. I didn't know that it was my mom calling. Worst, I didn't know it was about my dad.

I love my dad. He is not the most wonderful creation but I love him the way he is. To me, he is a superhero. He is the only legend. And to me, he is perfect. As he is.

Today's you're birthday, Daddy. I am imagining that you're laughing from wherever you are now while you're watching me do this entry.  I can't help but cry tonight because I miss you. I was not even given the chance to tell you how much I love you and how thankful I am for everything. 

I love you. And happy birthday!

B-L-E-S-S-I-N-G-S!

Monday. My first working day of the week. I was busy with a chat when my seatmate caught my attention with an email saying:

I had to crop it for compliance issues. I just want to share with you how lucky I am!

That email was followed by this one:

And another one:

And who's so lucky today? There's another one:

I just can't believe how lucky I am. Thank you, Papa God!

Family Day @ EK

Last Sunday, we set our feet @ EK again.  It's Allison's 4th visit at the Enchanted Kingdom, and Allson's 1st.

My bad. I forgot to bring the Fun House tickets Allison earned on her first EK visit.  I was planning on exchanging them with some cute stuff.  I guess I'll have to bring them next time then.

I got an All- Day Pass but was able to ride just one attraction-- The Wheel of Fate. LOL

I was a little frustrated but I guess that's okay. I invited my little Allison for a few fun games at the court and to our luck, we won this one:

The bear was as tall as my daughter that she can hardly hold it while walking.  I was actually torn between getting this stuff toy or the mini guitar.  I forgot what occured to me then and why I chose this over the guitar. I would've been teaching Allison how to play the guitar now had I chosen to get that.  But that's okay.  It's a big prize anyway. And Allison was happy with her new friend, Bowbo.

I Love Him More Each Day

I just think that that title is an understatement. 

Drich and I have been together for quite a while and are happy with our married life. We're blessed with two wonderful kids, Allison and Allson.  And there's nothing more I want. (Thank You, Papa God!)

On my way to work last night, I just thought of sharing this feeling.  I know Drich is not into reading blogs, etc. So it is safe for me to share this with you, sisses.

I just want the whole world to know that I love my husband so much!!! (Eeeeww... So in love? That's cheesy!)

Who would have thought that I will be marrying this boy (and I really mean, a boy) I met in a truck back in June 1999 on a drizzling afternoon?  That was the same boy I saw on the stage ramp modelling an all-white golfing outfit. Sabi ko pa sa katabi ko non while I was watching that fashion show, "cute yang batang yan, ano?". LOL And the same boy I always meet everywhere Ate Let and I would go during YFC conferences.

All the universe has conspired to bring us together and there was not doubt about that. I am just thankful. Very, very thankful. :)

We may not have the perfect life that our folks imagined us to have. But we are happy, and I just think that that's all that matters.  We have bouts and a lot of booboos almost always, but we make up for them.  We are not perfect, but we always know where to stand.  And that's what makes me even happier.

I just love you, Drich. I know you know and I want the whole world to know about that.
