tickle me elmo

my fave Sesame Street character - ELMO


i have nothing to write on my blog... so as i surf the net.. i just remember if there's still an available tickle me elmo toy i've been eyeing on when i was in college. yes college na ako noong uso sya.. yeah, yeah, i'm too old for toys. anyway, there's still an available tickle me elmo toy but costs way expensive than before.. now, it's a collectible item na that needs bidding in order to have one. but still i found this photos as my remembrance:

local and international packaging

below are some of his episodes courtesy of youtube

spiderman 3

just watched spiderman 3, i like the movie except for the scene where the "infected" peter parker danced inside a jazz bar where mj is working. baduy at nakakatawa! i don't like peter being the "black spider."





i was sad that after harry osborne realized how his dad died.. after helping spidey defend mj.. he died because of the "black spider".

i was wondering, where will the sandman go after asking for peter's forgiveness. will he still be a villain in the city?

Save Me (Smallville Theme Song)
Remy Zero

I feel my wings have broken
In your hands
I feel the words unspoken
Inside
When they pull you under
And I would give you any thing you want
You were all I wanted
All my dreams are falling down
Crawling round and round and round

Somebody save me
Let your waters break right through
Somebody save me
I don't care how you do it
Just save, save
Come on
I've been waiting for you

I see the world has folded in your heart
I feel the waves crash down inside
And they pull me under
And I would give you anything you want
You were all I wanted
All my dreams have fallen down
Crawling round and round and round

Somebody save me
Let your waters break right through
Somebody save me
I don't care how you do it
Just save, save
Come on
I've been waiting for you

All my dreams are on the ground
Crawling' round and round and round

Somebody save me
Let your waters break right through
Somebody save me
I don't' care how you do it
Just save me, save me
I've made this whole world shine for you
Just save, save
Come on
I'm still waiting for you

expression of gratitude

just wanna say "Thank You" to my cousins and to their kids for handing these down to my France - some of their baby stuff (like comforters, pillows, plates, etc.), clothes (like pjs, skirts, blouses, etc.) - at least till age 3 or 4 hindi muna kami bibili ng mga damit, kiddie toys and books.

stack-them-up toy, doll, magic slate, push cart and music ball

books

marami pa ang nakatago at hindi ko na kinunan ng picture.


except for this photo... this came from Grammy Neni

SpidyGirl doll, some blocks and 2 books

a big THANK YOU for everything! =>

bored

after been busy "supervising" the veranda project and cleaning the filth of the project, i'm back to being idle again. i stopped doing the job i used to have... wasn't able to meet the quota.

keeping me busy if this computer and my daughter... which is kinda boring. mayordoma ako dito sa bahay so thank God their's someone who's helping me.

while being bored, i'm trying to look for jobs - home based and nearby offices. i think i want to go back working... for my own growth too.

thanks to my hubby, roel, for taking us to festival mall yesterday. actually, we just meet him there at 12... we left here 10am, we stayed at the Joshua's playarea... it's France's 2nd time there and it's my 2nd time to forget to bring our cam. she enjoyed sliding on the slide and playing at the pool of balls. we ate lunch at Chowking then had our grocery after we went home.

walang masyadong activity ang aking life lately. *huhuhu*

reminder

today, most of us may exercise their right to make their choice... so please

VOTE WISELY.

to you - mama

now, that i am also a mother.. i now realize everything you did to me - you being strict and protective. i also thank you that because of being strong i was able to finish college and marry at the "right" age. we may not have the perfect mother-daughter relationship as i grow.. i now really appreciate everything you did. i pray i will be as strong as you are esp. when my baby is in her teenage years.. remembering those days, we fight a lot.

thanks Mama for everything! *mwah*

rainy days

pahabol na pinagawa... for rainy season...

last april 27,2007

that day, we had a hectic sched... in the morning, we had deliveries for the materials needed in doing the veranda. in the afternoon, we prepared their merienda and talked about some things about the project. before the "workers," left we made sure that the job were properly done. while, waiting for them to leave, i prepared our swimming things.. the serrano swimming at pansol. we ate early and left the house at 7:30pm. upon reaching the place, we just ate a little then prepared to get wet.

evidences:

(soon)

yikes! ang laki ko na! must diet! sarap kasi ng coke kapag summer at mainit =<
ka-turn off, eeww =<

almost...

we're almost through cleaning the house.. we still have some minor cleaning and rearranging. we're waiting for the roof to be delivered so that it'll be installed right away before the rainy season comes. i'm also waiting for our window screen to be installed. the only problem remaining is the screen door.

got lots of work to do pa.. napapagod na nga ako eh. like yesterday, our helper and i washed all the curtains, sofa cover and blanket na pinangcover namin sa gamit dahil sa alikabok. kahit machine washed yun.. nakakapagod kayang magbanlaw at magsampay sa dami, sobra! ang sakit nga ng likod ko after doing the laundry.. buti na lang at natapos namin ng umaga lang. after lunch, i went out to buy milk for my daughter. when i got home, nagising na anak ko... huhuhu, hindi man lang ako nakapahinga at nakahiga.

konting tiis pa... malapit na talagang matapos ang paglilinis at pag-aayos.

next itinerary after cleaning and rearranging the house, mama's arrival this 1st week of June. =>

clean-up

after the veranda project last Saturday, we started cleaning inside the house that night and we're still cleaning today. within this week, clean-up will be over. i still have some matter to attend to for the project like:

window screening
for cut and for setup yung former screen door
waiting for the order for the "meja agua"
sala and "meja agua" lights
curtain hooks
foot lock
chain lock
pad lock for the "botanical garden"
arranging the scraps of the project


i'm planning to have a play area within our sala for my daughter. hhmm.. after rearranging the sala and dining area.. saka ako magdedecide where will be the play area. we still can't setup the said play area at the finished veranda coz kailangan ng gate for the dog won't be able to enter.. eh to follow pa.

Thank you, Mama!! => *mwah*

Tatay Mar's ride

while our veranda is in process.. Papa left his "ride" in a talyer nearby..

I pray hindi bumalik yung dating "sakit" na ang hirap i-start.. must be used at least 3-4 times a week and for the battery to recharge too


before "pimping" the ride:

happenings

last apr.21, we attended an inuman session at cainta.. inumang magpipinsan ni roel. his cousins are here for a 2-week vacation.. kaya may get together. grabe, we had these. of course, mawawala ba naman ang videoke.. plus stand up comedy ni ate amy at singing performance ni ate lea. my daughter is the only baby.. can't leave her, walang mag-aalaga.





we had pancit, kalahating ulo ng lechong baboy, sisig, nachos with dip, napakaraming chicha, pakwan, menudo, inihaw ng baboy.. thank God hindi ako nakaupo sa "presidential" table kundi lasing at busug na basog ako.




hindi kami nakasama sa swimming yesterday sa Club Manila East coz we had to spend time with Papa kasi kanina ang alis nya.



yesterday, we ate dinner at giligan's. first plan was to eat at cabalen's - eat all you can. but knowing out appetites, si utol lang ang magbebenifit, we decided served food na lang.




ewan ko ba sa baby ko bat hindi na ata marunong tumingin sa camera.. i exposed her early naman sa camera.. hhmm.

Tatay Mar

today is my father's departure going back to middle east. i wasn't able to go with my bro para ihatid kasi walang magbabantay ng mga gumagawa dito sa bahay. my hubby and my pasaway bro did drop off Papa to NAIA. france and i wasn't able to kiss him goodbye =(.. para hindi raw mahalata ng mga karpintero.

i'm now afraid that my bro will quarrel me just to borrow the jeep Papa left. i'm now afraid that my bro will let his barkada stay here until wee hours. or let them borrow some of our things. my bro is not listening to me.. he's sooo pasaway, stubborn and lazy.

i'm now feeling sad coz wala na naman kaming kasama.. you know, a grown up na kahit paano eh kinakatakutan ng utol ko.

i wish my bro will change his "lifestyle" now.

some updates

been busy "supervising" the veranda project.. kasi they've started working inside the house.. syempre i have to guard our things.

ako rin kasi ang naging kasa-kasama ni Papa sa pagbili-bili ng materials.. coz my bro is so irresponsible.. hay, its a different story. kawawa naman si Papa, hindi na nya na-enjoy ang vacation nya.

kasabay pa ang pagbakasyon ng mga pinsan ni Roel.. kaya we've been here and there.

hey, got good news.. my Mama will have her vacation this June! *yahu*
sayang lang bat hindi pa sila sabay nagbakasyon ni Papa.

in tatters: days 13 & 14 (04/13-14/07)

SEE the progress..

started doing the "moon" on the roof.. the window for the dinning is ready.. the areas where the baluster and gate will be placed are now ready.. the roof is now smooth..
