Mirror mirror

presenting, the first-ever piece of furniture that we bought for our new life together!

ta-daaah!


you like? i like. i was surprised that marlon liked it, though. he used to be mr. zen/clean lines, but i guess four and a half years in a relationship with me finally wore him down.

it was a tough choice between silver and gold, though.



to date, the inventory of new stuff bought especially for the new place includes (in the order of purchase):

1. steel sunburst mirror (made in tondo, bought from a roadside stall in tagaytay)
2. custom-made acacia daybed (in the works)
3. 32-inch samsung lcd tv (guess who almost peed his pants buying this. really, what is with guys and big tvs????)
4. lillberg two-seater couch from ikea, spray-painted white with black cushions (for the tv room)
5. ludde sheepskin from ikea (for the tv room couch)
6. ironing board from ikea

eek! ikea invasion. okay, testigo kayong lahat: i vow not to live in an ikea showcase!

Burning questions

should we get a cat?

one of the things i'm looking forward to most about the move is leaving five dogs behind. don't get me wrong, they're great, but i really just want to have a cat after all these years of dogdom.

i love cats. i'm a cat person through and through. i talk to them on the street in the special cuddly voice i reserve for shoes, dark chocolate and marlon. the stray cat in our compound just gave birth to kittens and i positively melt every morning as i pass them on my way out of the house.

this is what i did in the alhambra -- take pictures of all the cats

marlon is surprisingly (adorably) game. he's a dog person, but he says knows i'd be happier with a cat than he would be with a dog that has to be small enough for condo living. (personally, i think he's waiting for us to get a bigger space so he can get his dream st. bernard.) he even interrogated an officemate who has two cats of her own in singapore to see how we could work it out.

so what's stopping me is: can the perpetually out and about, workaholic, wanderlusting couple that we are really take tender loving care of a living creature at this point in time? can we risk the damage to our landlord's immaculate, newly laid wood parquet floors? are we ready to resign the fate of one of our first articles of furniture (a custom-made acacia daybed) to that of a scratching post?

does my impending cohabitation with marlon necessitate cuter pambahay?

i've seen marlon in his pambahay, but he hasn't seen me in mine. mostly it's really big t-shirts with no shorts (i live in a house full of women so this is okay). somehow i can't picture me being young wife-ish, chopping onions in the kitchen or whatever, in this getup.

so i'm thinking shorts and tank tops, or tank tops and pajamas, or smallish t-shirts and shorts... articles of clothing that are in short supply in my closet. (my glee club friends had to give me my first pair of adult-sized pajamas after one too many sleepovers where my giant t-shirts rode up in my sleep and revealed my underwear to them.)

it's strange, but i actually want to be presentable at home. is that weird?

when will trillanes grow up?

he's a senator now, for chrissake. he can't run around doing things like this anymore. what a creep.

i love my candy sweet lovable hot Tama.

Getting trippy at the Taj

i told myself i'd only blog if it was about condo-hunting in singapore. but when i came across these unbelievably trippy pictures of my parents, i couldn't resist sharing them with all of you.

these totally groovy hand-tinted photos were taken by "taj photo studio" at the taj mahal in agra in 1977. note that the colors of their clothes are different in both pictures. quipped my art director officemates: "inaantok na siguro yung artist."

and aren't my mom's wide-legged, high-waisted pants back in style?



truly kitschy classic. yeah baby!

Comon Sense

What a great long weekend! I was able to get all the things that I needed to get done and still have some time for me! The kids had a blast making Thanksgiving crafts and helping me decorate the house.Then the reality of work hit me Tuesday night (Monday was a holiday for me) I got up and did the normal routine.... man what a drag! Then while at work my boss asked how the kids were doing and I said good except my oldest Lauren was upset with us because no one was going to be at her thanksgiving luncheon. He replied "Well, what's holding you back" Hmm well maybe the fact that I was out of the office all last week and my desk looks like a bomb went off on it? He says "well don't say your boss wont let you go I think you should go but it is up to you just remember this when she bring it up when she is 23 that you didn't go to her school luncheon" my thought Sold! So I got up this morning and sent in my paper work for a day off only to have him return it to me saying you are working from home therefore I am not accepting this. What a freaking cool boss why can't all business people be this understanding? I mean it is simply common sense, if you show some respect and interest in your workers and their families and bend a little now and then it goes a long way. Truthfully I have gotten more done from home in 3 hours then I would have being in the office all day. The interruptions are killer! Plus I had the bonus of dropping both of my kids off at school when it started instead of dropping them at the crack of dawn! I could start to dig this work from home thing!

bwahhh

Don't really like mornings. i thirst for the night.

A flurry of firsts

aaaah! ang daming nangyayari!

life is hurtling forward at an amazing speed these days, and i'm dying to blog about it all. i've been thoroughly tempted to take a leave from work just to blog. but then the only thing stopping me is that my internet connection at work is so much better. mwehehehe.

i just want to call in the following firsts, really quickly. in the past five days alone:

marlon and i have made a deposit on our very first house, purchased our first piece of furniture (that we still don't physically have with us, yet), and bought our first piece of furniture that we actually carted home.

and i bought my very first painting, fulfilling a promise i made to myself to start collecting art this year. hurray!

i have no time to blog (or at least, in the detailed manner i love to blog in) and i'm totally exhausted right now. but it doesn't mean i can't love my life! love it love it love it!

One more day!!!

Well, I am on day 3 of 4 and I am longing to be home I did not sleep well last night sure if it was the paper thin walls of this lovely Hilton hotel or the planes that kept landing and taking off last night or simply that I miss my family and my bed as well as the man I share it with.

I spoke to Daddy last night and all seems to be going well my son had an accident yesterday on the way to daycare because my husband forgot to have him go potty when he woke up. My daughter complained that her hair didn't look good because daddy forget to comb it but hey there were dressed and they had food so they were good to go.

A girlfriend of mine sent me the link below which made me howl with laughter in my hotel room this morning, sorry room 650! Here it is for you to enjoy too!
