'IT' song of the moment http://somethingpurple.multiply.com/music/item/41/UNWRITTEN Fri, 14 Dec 2007 21:38:31 -0000 Thanksgiving 2007 My very 1st Thanksgiving celebration went really great. With families and some cooking to do, it was just perfect! (plus a gadget filled black friday lootbag from titan!) I woke up really early as I was in-charge to cook 2 of the main dishes: Seafood Paella and of course my specialty, Tom Yum! It's a tough job as I will cook for 5 extended families of Titan, the last count was 21 people! I never cooked for that many people in my entire cuisine life.They were all excited as this would be the 1st time they would have a non-american meal in their thanksgiving table. Most of the dishes they usually cook were American dishes as Thanksgiving are for Americans daw! labo! Anyhow, tita babes drove me to the nearest Asian market as we forgot to buy tomato paste for my Paella the day before. Ethan and Titan were still asleep so I had a good "ME" time for the 1st time. Oh how I love Virginia, it was the very 1st time I get to appreciate what scenery I see on the rode. Tita was telling me that some... http://somethingpurple.multiply.com/photos/album/49/Thanksgiving_2007 Sun, 9 Dec 2007 21:31:42 -0000 SOMETHING PURPLE, a detour hey lurkers!

It was in the American Canyon, a few minutes drive from the Pinoy Community of Vallejo and 'THE' Napa Valley. Since this would be Ethan's 1st halloween in the US, she advised us to bring him to Larry's Produce, a nearby pumpkin patch before we head for some wine tasting in Napa Valley. Ethan had fun posing in the pumpkin patches. We passed by Vallejo community and stopped at the famous Seafood Market for some grocery (since we were enticed to buy some longaniza after tasting them at Mickee's breakfast handa), para lang kaming namimili sa Alabang's makati supermarket haha! Everything was there even the mena, chingchunsu stuff, etc...LOL! kaaliw! Everyone said their HELLOs and HIs to each other, I chatted with a few pinoy elderly also.(machika talaga ako kasi =P)) We were all excited to taste the famous wines of Napa so our grocery stop was cut-short. After more t... http://somethingpurple.multiply.com/photos/album/48/Napa_Valley_American_Canyon_Vallejo Sat, 10 Nov 2007 08:53:13 -0000 I left my heart in San Francisco (October 24-25) It's true what they say when you set foot in the big SFO! You'll leave your heart there, I experienced it and it was hard for me leaving the city even if I was there only for 2 days. If there's one city that I would like to relocate in Cali, it would be this city or the American Canyon or better yet if we can afford, Napa Valley, why not? =P. Though, it's a different story now that I'm loving Virginia lol. I wanted to visit a dear friend, Mickee who lives in the American Canyon that's why I bugged my brother to bring me there and besides I might as well maximize my time in the West Coast. To my delight, my kuya obliged willingly even if it was a gruelling 5-6 hours drive from Bakersfield for him. We left the house early with a fully-packed itinerary as we were already advised by Mickee how to maximize our time. As soon as we reached the Bay bridge, I know I'm gonna like this city even if I saw the 1st homeless American there! 1st destination was the 4t... http://somethingpurple.multiply.com/photos/album/45/I_left_my_heart_in_San_Francisco Sat, 10 Nov 2007 08:05:25 -0000 Universal Studios (October 22) Tita Ninang Yvette treated us to a Universal Studio trip on a Monday, so there were no lines and not much of tourists. We left Sta. Clarita at 11am and came back at 5pm, mission accomplished! Surprisingly, Ethan enjoyed Universal Studios more THAN Disneyland Resort. Medyo weird talaga and anak ko, at a young age, he loves to watch Ripley's believe it or not and extreme sports. He had a BIG grin when he saw live fire, flood and dancing and crashing cars! We both had blast in the tram! Amazing ang mga studios, I especially love the Desperate Housewives sitcom set/homes. And am I really that pinay looking? Dracula recognized me and said in tagalog: "hmmm sarap sipsipin ng dugong pinay!" how gross can that be! Ethan also enjoyed watching the Animal Actors(trained animals included in Evans Almighty film are sooo good!) and Waterworld were we got really wet, we had a jacket but we were all protecting tita ninang's newly bought LV bag hahaha so yun ang may jacket not u... http://somethingpurple.multiply.com/photos/album/44/Universal_Studios Thu, 8 Nov 2007 09:55:15 -0000 rodeo drive, beverly hills, sta. monica, staples center and forest wildfire (October 21) I spent a day with my bestfriend since pre-school days, Joanne. I only see her whenever she visits pinas and we both missed attending each other's wedding days. So you can imagine, how much catching up we have to do. She brought Ethan and me to Pretty Woman's famous spot, Rodeo Drive and Regent Beverly Willshire Hotel, and the famous Hollywood mountain and lake, Beverly Hills and West LA, Staples Center and of course who would miss Santa Monica Beach. After a day filled with photo ops, we went to her newly owned house, it was chic! And watched her wedding video while Ethan of course is doing his own terrible 2's menaces! =P Then suddenly all this noise coming from fire trucks brought us out of the house, we saw a huge fire and drove around! It was the California Forest Wild Fire. I brought a camera and Gilbert (joanne's hubby) took some shots, grabe it was really huge! Joanne and her other sibling, Ryan were asked to evacuate their homes since it's very near the mo... http://somethingpurple.multiply.com/photos/album/43/rodeo_drive_beverly_hills_sta._monica_staples_center_and_forest_wildfire Thu, 8 Nov 2007 08:56:22 -0000 Citadel, Hollywood Blvd, Sta. Clarita Wrestling (October 20) After a good day at the Disneyland Resort, off we went to LA. My 1st outlet to visit was CITADEL, I was a good girl here and left the place with no shopping bag as in nada! Then we went to the busy tourist spot, THE Hollywood blvd. Ang dumi pala dun LOL! and I can't imagine how they would turn the Kodak Theater into some red-carpet worthy of paparazzi! Ang mga mascot, naku hindi wholesome, they were speaking bad slang words! Good thing though, we bumped into barney, elmo, tiger, spongebob and a sneaky superman, kahit payatot, madudumi and kelangan magbigay ng 1 dollar para magpapicture, happy na rin si Ethan. I spent a couple of nights with my tita ninang Yvette in Santa Clarita, our family friend and my bestfriend's mom. The whole family were there and prepared a dinner for us. Ethan was happy to see other kids but oh boy when he did start the wrestling and roll over game! Naku riot talaga! In the end, Nate and Ethan were arguing that both of them actually won. Hahha... http://somethingpurple.multiply.com/photos/album/42/Citadel_Hollywood_Blvd_Sta._Clarita_Wrestling Thu, 8 Nov 2007 08:18:46 -0000 back on the online loop i have made updates on my blog here: ---><A href="http://em.wifespeaks.com">http://em.wifespeaks.com</A> see you there!   http://somethingpurple.multiply.com/journal/item/11/back_on_the_online_loop Thu, 8 Nov 2007 07:45:50 -0000 Disneyland Resort, Anaheim CA (posted today: Nov.7) Since this will be my last week of stay here in the west coast, particularly my kuya's house here in bakersfield, CA, before I head off to titan in Virginia. I might as well use the extra time uploading photos and updating my multiply site. Let me begin with our Disney trip. We arrived wednesday night(oct.17) and had a whole day of rest on thursday. The next day, friday(oct.19), I woke up early to prepare our stuff for our disneyland trip. Since Anaheim is about 2 hours drive from Bakersfield, we absolutely had to spend a night there. We arrived disneyland resort a little after 3pm (oh yes that late!) and checked-in at Days Hotel. I was all wide-eyed as soon as I saw the 'Welcome to Disneyland' banner. I can't believe I was more excited than Ethan. We left the resort really late, though there were not much of lines in the rides entrances, we missed taking pictures with some of the disney characters. We were supposed to go back with my bestfriend, Joanne l... http://somethingpurple.multiply.com/photos/album/41/Disneyland_Resort_Anaheim_CA Wed, 7 Nov 2007 10:05:28 -0000 just so you know. ...I've been pretty much out of the hiatus mode lately and have started updating my main blog.

Sun, 6 May 2007 16:09:52 -0000 LAST DAY@Embahada (09Mar2007) YES! The news is VERY true, i quit my almost 7 YEARS Canadian Embassy day job! It was sooo liberating but i never thought i would be missing my daily routine and the embassy peeps this much! (the work, definitely not.) ~~i was there yesterday to give my paluwagan share(yes i still do) and as i was going up through the lift, i almost was about to cry. I miss the people from my colleagues down to the cleaners, the guards and my daily routine and of course my bi-monthly VERY FAT paycheque! But like i always tell myself, i gotta do what i gotta do. I'm taking a short course before i leave for...(toot toot! it's up for you to find out hehehe) and this is for a long-term plan. To my ex-colleagues, thanks for the 3 despedidas during my last day. I will truly madly deeply miss all of you. The Embassy of Canada will be forever etched in my heart. MMMMWAAAAH!!!!!!!!!!! MERCI BEAUCOUP! http://somethingpurple.multiply.com/photos/album/31/LAST_DAYEmbahada_09Mar2007 Wed, 4 Apr 2007 06:22:53 -0000 Green Day What a shame, I have been using this green top for several occassions. (read: see pictures for evidence!) I must admit that color green enhances my complexion. So here are two of the recent occassions I wore this fave top! 1) Wifespeakers Dinner @Polu Kai, Serendra with our balikbayans 2) MG Family Lunch @Cafe Breton with Mishel's daddy http://somethingpurple.multiply.com/photos/album/30/Green_Day Tue, 20 Mar 2007 07:42:39 -0000 19.03.1995 (exactly 12 years ago...) As I write this entry, i'm half-smiling and half-melancholic. Smiling, because 12 years ago, titan and I said our 1st i love yous as boyfriend/girlfriend, we were sooo young then and very adventurous. Melancholic, because, i won't be celebrating this special day with him, he is in Chicago taking one big giant step for our future. Now, not only thinking about our future dates or travels or monthsary gifts to each other but OUR real future life with our Ethan. We have to sacrifice a little and set aside our emotions for awhile, keeping in mind our motto as parents to Ethan: "We gotta do what we gotta do".  My mom was the significant 3rd party in our relationship who would constantly remind us that RESPECT is the biggest factor in any relationship. There was a time in our almost 9 years of being boyfriend and girlfriend that we almost gave up, my mom was there to listen to our woes and talk things out. We did not give up. They say long-distance relationships are impossible, but ... http://somethingpurple.multiply.com/journal/item/4/19.03.1995_exactly_12_years_ago... Mon, 19 Mar 2007 13:44:47 -0000 fun @DIOR! (posted today, March19) I've been out of the scene for long! Things have been both great and crazy. Everything happened so fast. I've got my hands full of everything! ...and kept me wondering how did I handle all these things like some breeze of sweet air?! Now, one of the big news and blessings I got is this: i'm very happy to inform all of you that I officially got THE slot of being Christian Dior's Associate/Resident Make-Up Artist!!! (bow bow bow! blush blush blush!, by the way, the chief make-up artist has moved to another brand and Ana, the brand manager told me, she wants me to replace her, so does that mean, I am the chief MUA heee! heee! ) Yes, I did an audition make-up trial and stuff...It wasn't that easy, rather it was sweat, blood and definitely buckets and buckets of tears!!! One of the reasons why I gave this a try, apart from the training and exposure, was because of the GORGEOUS CD belt bag for my brushes, they're GORGEOUS!, which, however, is not yet in my posse... http://somethingpurple.multiply.com/photos/album/29/fun_DIOR_ Mon, 19 Mar 2007 09:29:14 -0000
