@ d TOP 12.25.08
on the road looking for a coffee shop, naisip niya dumiretso sa Tops Skyline Garden. it is also one of the tourists spot here in Cebu, a 10.5 kilometers from town and 2000 feet above sea level where you can view the whole Cebu City. we came here daytime with our rascals on our first visit before we finally settled here. after then anthony and i talked about coming here at night and have some beer. the 24 hours garden is equivalently beautiful at nighttime only it is more colder and windy. yun ang trip ni anthony, sobra lamig! bigla tuloy namin naalala ang mga times with kaberks! drive all the way to Tagaytay just to have coffee, kapag craving for bulalo or Carlo's pizza at kagustuhan ni anthony magpalamig. we had tried it also several times in antipolo, going out at the middle of the night or pag ndi na niya ako magising sa pagkakatulog eh magtripping lang yan mag-isa sa labas ng bahay. adik sa lamig!lol
so here imagine me naninigas at nanginginig sa lamig while anthony eh enjoy na enjoy. eto some of pics we've taken and very true that the beer is perfect in this place at night!:D

Kawasan Falls, Badian 12.25.08
we trekked about 20 minutes to reached the falls. it would have been nice to have experienced under it but we should hurried back to the beach before Owen start to look for us. among the not so many falls we went before, this one is the most developed i think to the point of having all this foreign owned huts and cottages just meters away from the falls. mind that you can go overnight here since electricity in this area also is not a problem at all. the place is actually open 24 hours. trekking at night is not also a problem because there are also available postlights on the way there.
so here some of our snap shots. tfl!

Loving Nicholas Sparks
Oh, I was a reader back then in highschool. hahaha. Addicted with those pocketbooks and komiks kina Tiya ... (nakalimutan ko na tambayan namin ah). I thought if I was really into it or it was just because everyone (if not, mga barkada ko) does. But after my highschool days I never found myself reading this things in college. Not until I've watched Message in a Bottle. This is the movie that I remember left my eyes sore from crying, heartbroken and constantly giving me a heartache each time I recall straight for two weeks. Promise! This is also the movie where I loved Kevin Costner the most.:) I've learned the movie was an adaptation from Nicholas Sparks novel, and that was the beginning of me loving Nicholas Sparks. And I’ve been hooked on him ever since. From then I find myself waiting for his new release. I turned out collecting all his novels and I am proud to say that even it took me months to finish each one, I tried and struggled(?) to read all of it. ahahaha. For the sake of Loving Nicholas Sparks!:)
I admire Sparks ability to capture true love at its best. He sets out to write an original love story with a poignant ending, one that generates genuine emotion. Yung tipong ang sikip ng dibdib mo after reading/watching but all together still happy. I am a fan of tragic love affair movies. I like them better than the usual romantic happy-ending movies because the love here is always mixed with pain and hence, more emotionally intense. I like to be carried away by that type of thing. Yes I really do.:D

Owen turned 3!
Owen turned Three last Aug 30. Though he certainly enjoys being the center of attention, with Papa here, Daddy, Mommy, Rinoa and yaya nanay is sufficient to fill that need. All the better when there is yummy cake and ice cream to eat!^-^
We just dined out at SM Tastes of China, yummy crazy crepes for our dessert, strolled around the SM new wing, and done short gaming session. Back to our house, there he blew three, four, five times his candle I think. Repeatedly sayin "B-Day Owen, Owen bday, blow candle!"^-^ At least he was aware that it was his bday diba?hehe Without the nakasanayang dami ng pipol around, plyamates and of course gifts! (and oh thanks pala sa mga bumati on the day of his bday! bestprend Glady's u r d best!;D, at sa mga late bumati eh better late than never ika nga!*lol*). At ayun tinapos namin ang gabi ng bday ni Owen playing table tennis. As if marunong na ang bugoy..hehe.
Rinoa's 1st Plane Ride
I have been looking forward to the time I would able to ride on an airplane with my two rascals, but that wasn't possible. You know what I mean, with mine in one flight would be such a disaster.
Our flight was in the afternoon 14:55. The airport taxi arrived 15 minutes before 7am, 1 hour and 15 minutes earlier to our scheduled pick-up time of 8am. We left the house at exactly 8am. "8am ang sabi ko diba?" "yes po mam, maaga lang po talaga kami kapag pik up" di naman sadya talaga lang na I've done preparing everything sakto 8am buti ndi ako nalate. haha. We arrived in Naia 3 Terminal after 20 minutes dropped off in Cebu Pac Cargo (we got 7 boxes this time, way heavier than our first:D Anthony didn't know since he won't allow me if told him that I've d only got toys. sayang naman kc makalakihan lang ng mga bata not using at nastock lang sa bahay.hehe).
While at the airport Rinoa ran around as expected. She said "hi" plus wave to everyone she came across and tried to play with other childrens’ toys. We had our "not so" wonderful meal and "not so" messy one. hehe. Hayz..yun lang!lol. And the next four hours was a very exhausting one for me and her yaya but an exciting and enjoyable play of hers to this very big Naia 3 playground.haha. Running around, talking with everyone she ran across, blabbing with just everything she see, sitting around, mopping herself on the floors and there was no way you can stop this 18mos little rascal!
Then it was finally time to board the plane. By this time it had come very close to her normal siesta time and she was starting to be a little grumpy. Reason also why I booked this flight. We finally got onto the plane and found our seats. As we settled in, my Noa looked around with confusion. She did not seem to know if she should be excited or scared. She sat on my lap and looked out the window. Tapos yun, as if ako yung super excited, I'd point to other airplanes outside the window and she would follow me sayin " Woww airplane..bye!" :) When the plane began to move she grew excited sayin "huh?huh?" to the noise it was making. She got her tiny cute bag with the candies ready for earpopping situation, and so I didn't worry.:) Sure enough, it took less than 5 minutes after the take off for my Noa to settled down in my lap and sleep.^-^
I'm proud of myself - may ganun? I handled it very well if I do say so.. twice!! But of course I'm proud immensely of my two babies. And believe me the solution for a happy flight is SLEEP!! Get them so tired that by the time you have to get on the flight he/she will be dying to sleep. And also booked a right sched timely for their sleeping time.:) So the secret to a peaceful flight is SLEEP :) .... LOL

3ple Date!
We were together since college years, more than a decade now. At ito kami ngayon, see how we have fared for the past 10 years. MaBeauty pa din (lol), mahealthy (lol), still sticked on each partners (lol), at syempre pa eh ang aming pagkakacute na rascals!(lol).
And something hasn't changed, ndi pa rin namin alam where to go, like old days. lol. The barhopping that originally planned end up in Fazolis Libis (pasta and pizza na naman, purga na ako this week ah) hehe. After Fazolis, Starbucks at Circle naman. After ang malulutong na halakhakan at mga walang kwentang usapan eh ayun pinalabas na kami ng guard. ahaha. Ndi daw sila 24hrs pag sunday. hehe
I will miss you peeps, pag namiss nyo kami dalaw na lang kayo Cebu ok!?

Me, according to Numerology
You entered: rowena .... .....
Those 23 letters total to 97
There are 11 vowels and 12 consonants in your name.
Your number is: 7
Thought, analysis, introspection, and seclusiveness are all characteristics of the expression number 7. The hallmark of the number 7 is a good mind, and especially good at searching out and finding the truth. You are so very capable of analyzing, judging and discriminating, that very little ever escapes your observation and deep understanding. You are the type of person that can really get involved in a search for wisdom or hidden truths, often becoming an authority on whatever it is your are focusing on. This can easily be of a technical or scientific nature, or it may be religious or occult, it matters very little, you pursue knowledge with the same sort of vigor. You can make a very fine teacher, or because of a natural inclination toward the spiritual, you may become deeply emerged in religious affairs or even psychic explorations. You tend to operate on a rather different wavelength, and many of your friends may not really know you very well. The positive aspects of the 7 expression are that you can be a true perfectionist in a very positive sense of the word. You are very logical, and usually employ a quite rational approach to most things you do. You can be so rational at times that you almost seem to lack emotion, and when you are faced with an emotional situation, you may have a bit of a problem coping with it. You have excellent capabilities to study and learn really deep and difficult subjects, and to search for hidden fundamentals. At full maturity you are likely to be a very peaceful and poised individual.
With the 11 Soul Urge, much of your thinking and interests relate to the abstract, the spiritual, and utopian dreams. You are motivated toward idealistic concepts, and the sharing of your ideas and concepts with humanity. This number is not one that is giving in a material or a practical sense, but rather one who desires to help mankind with a more abstract commodity such as religion, spiritualism, occult studies, or even psychic abilities.
You dream of being totally free and unrestrained by responsibility. You see yourself conversing and mingling with the natives in many nations, living for adventure and life experiences. You imagine what you might accomplished.

The expression or destiny for #7:
Thought, analysis, introspection, and seclusiveness are all characteristics of the expression number 7. The hallmark of the number 7 is a good mind, and especially good at searching out and finding the truth. You are so very capable of analyzing, judging and discriminating, that very little ever escapes your observation and deep understanding.

At full maturity you are likely to be a very peaceful and poised individual.
If there is an over supply of the number 7 in your makeup, the negative aspects of the number may be apparent. The chief negative of 7 relates to the limited degree of trust that you may have in people. A tendency to be highly introverted can make you a bit on the self-centered side, certainly very much self-contained . Because of this, you are not very adaptable, and you may tend to be overly critical and intolerant. You really like to work alone, at your own pace and in your own way. You neither show or understand emotions very well.
Your Soul Urge number is: 11
A Soul Urge number of 11 means:
With the 11 Soul Urge, much of your thinking and interests relate to the abstract, the spiritual, and utopian dreams. You are motivated toward idealistic concepts, and the sharing of your ideas and concepts with humanity. This number is not one that is giving in a material or a practical sense, but rather one who desires to help mankind with a more abstract commodity such as religion, spiritualism, occult studies, or even psychic abilities.
If you possess the positive 11 Soul Urge traits, you have a dream of the perfect world; you are highly idealistic and inspirational. Your inner strength and devotion to your beliefs are extremely strong. You have a very good mind that is especially well equipped to handle the higher, more abstract forms of thought.
If there is an excess of 11 energy in your makeup, you may possess some the negative 11 traits. There is a tendency for the 11 to produce considerable amounts of nervous tension which is bought on by a very high level of awareness. You may be too sensitive and overly emotional. In some cases, these sensitivities and emotions are quite repressed, and this tends to add even more to the sense of nervousness in the makeup.
The strong 11 is not a very practical person because of the extreme idealism; often, there is a degree of self-deception present. There is usually a rather fixed idea of right and wrong held by those showing strong 11 traits, and with this very often is a resulting attitude of inflexibility.
Your Inner Dream number is: 5
An Inner Dream number of 5 means:
You dream of being totally free and unrestrained by responsibility. You see yourself conversing and mingling with the natives in many nations, living for adventure and life experiences. You imagine what you might accomplished.

Manila Ocean Park
Ok, redo it!:D
We were there March 25, it was weekday but the crowd was still thick. Grabee pagkasensualized sa place. Onga naman, it is one another beauty you can find in Manila today. Am proud in a way. You don't have to fly to Hongkong or Singapore to see oceanarium now.:) I went there without any expectation since i haven't been in any like one before but excitement. We were one of those people too excited to see it even knowing it is not yet fully finished. Sabi, hotel and mall are going to be available and done by December pa. And i heard that there are also some attractions like boating and so on still on progress. By then, maybe the entrance fee will also get higher. Mahal na nga ngayon pa lang eh. But I think, for me, it is just worth it. It was just another awesome family day out for us. This was Owen and Rinoa first encounter with different marine species except that we also are a petshop goer, this one was different. With their facial expressions and enjoyment touring the place, it was priceless. And just thinking of how to maintain salt water fish was hard, i understand. The entrance fee is just and also it is private owned so we don't have to worry whom pocket will be benefited.:D

Club Manila East 032308
We left the house just before 9:00am and headed to CME for a whole day fun under the sun. It was indeed fun to see Owen and Rinoa enjoy themselves...Owen in swimming and Rinoa watching people and wandering the place (takot si Rinoa sa water).:)
Even if Anthony had to do some work during Holy Week vacation, he was still able to spend a very good quality time with his two little cute rascals and equally cute (of course), and equally rascal wife (hehe) before his going back to Cebu in a week time.:)

Holy Week 2008
Maunday Thursday, umulan early in the afternoon here in Antipolo. Hindi na sana kami matutuloy papunta sa White Cross. But i sense the yayas still wanting to go on a late afternoon after the rain. So there, and we went!
Good Friday, Cyd bday. Sarap ng byahe namin from Antipolo to Shang Edsa, and Shang to their condo in Kingswood Makati, ang luwag ng daan. Though mga taxi eh kadalasan may mga sakay, hindi naman kami natagalan masyado sa pag-aantay.
Black Saturday, Daddy's home!:)
Easter Sunday, swimming!!!
