It’s been almost 2 years since our feet landed in the land of the Americans. I’m just missing those times when we had 10 days to enjoy the land we’ve been dreaming to explore years back.

NEW YORK

WASHINGTON DC

Join us at…

A few months ago, I remembered how annoying it was for people to focus on Pres. Noynoy Aquino’s smoking habit. It’s just that for me, it’s too shallow to focus on. This habit is nothing compared to the problems we had with our previous presidents. Yes it concerns our president’s health, but to deal deeply about it is too much – there are more things needed to focus on.

While I was listening to the news, I heard that Former President Fidel V. Ramos advised PNoy to quit it too. I blurted out, “Who the hell is he to advice such? Hasn’t he been so famous of having those perdomo cigars in most of his photos?” Then the next statement followed - but never lit his cigars. Oh, well then, that’s much better to hear. It was a surprise for me, though. I remembered having Pres. FVR as my president while I was growing up, but I never felt his existence. I can even hardly see what good things he has done for my country. I am not the person very interested in politics then, it’s just now that I got to hear and know about it so maybe I better get back to my history.

Dell Studio 1558 it is!!! I’m not into stylish laptop, really. All I want is one that has good specifications and with really big computer memory. Hubby has been thinking of buying me a new lappy since December last year, but budget wise, we opt not to. But now that he knows I need it badly since I now work online and really earn good, he finally decided on buying.

This is to replace my 3 year old Acer Aspire 4310 which has Intel Celeron M Processor, 512MB RAM and 80GB Hard Drive – and knowing the specs of it, I know I need not ask for more. =)

Then now that I really need a good one, I think I deserve this new Dell Studio 1558, Intel Core i5 – 430M Processor, 4GB RAM, 500GB Hard Drive, added with Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium and Blue-ray player – I think this one will last longer than 3 years.

Of course, my warmest thanks to my one and only love, my life, my bestfriend, my lover, my everything… Thanks Dad!!! I love you sooooo much!!! Much more because of this??? LOL! *kidding*

Massage is never a common treat for both hubby and I. I only massage hubby when he asks for it and I won’t even do it properly, just a little dub of oil here and there. But part of my self-overhaul project which I started last week (I’m gonna discuss about it some other time), I want to give an extra effort for him to feel how much I love him. So last Sunday I said, “Dad, I’m gonna massage you.” Of course he answered me with the expected response of, “Why?” I answered, “Nothing, I just saw that we have lots of Efficascent Oil in stock and I remembered this is what Tita Normie (our masseuse in the Philippines) uses to massage us.” I didn’t mention the real reason that I actually want him to feel special. This is something new to him and this is something I know he’ll surely love. And I want him to feel the real reason, not because I said so.

Just tonight he asked if he can have some massage again because his legs and feet are really tired. This time it was no longer hard for me to give, but it turned out like it’s my pleasure to do it. Instead of massaging just his legs and feet, I also massaged his back so he’ll feel a bit relaxed. And guess what? He’s fallen into a good night’s sleep even before I came out of the shower!

Now I am trying to look around for some good massage oil and lotion to use that has a nice and calming aroma. Don’t be surprised if one of these days I am already looking for massage tables andour room is turned into a spa. But trust me, it feels good to see that our hubbies felt loved and cared for. The love and care we give them bounces back to us and I can affirm to that. I just got a really sweet “I love you, mummy!” plus the sweetest kiss ever.

BFF is a 2009 movie starring the Mega Star and the Comedy Concert Queen, Ms. Sharon Cuneta and Ms. Ai-Ai Delas Alas. It’s  a story of the two women who are both mothers – one is a single mom, the other is married but doesn’t have a healthy relationship with her husband. They built a good relationship as best friends only to find out that they are loving the same man. It’s a comedy film, but just right to show the realities of a mother’s life.

I am not a single mom (and hopefully could never be), but I am a wife trying my very best to have the best relationship with my husband. That’s one reason why my focus was on the problems that has arisen in Honey’s (Sharon) married life. She was so focused on taking care of her family and forgot to take good care of herself. The result was, her husband looked for someone opposite of her. Because she grew so big and because she was feeling that her husband has another woman, she enrolled herself to the gym and there she met her fitness instructor, Frances (Ai-Ai) who taught her how to properly take good care of herself.

Personally, I didn’t find the movie very funny than expected neither did I find it unique and very interesting. The story was for me, too shallow. Don’t get me wrong, I am a 101% Sharonian and I love Sharon to bits. I love her every movie and I don’t care if I watch them more than 2 times. Maybe I just expected so much, well because it’s a Sharon film plus one of my most favorite comedian, Ai-Ai was there. Nevertheless, I am happy that I got the point of taking good care of myself as a woman even though I am already a wife and mother. I won’t as much as possible let myself gain so much weight because if I do, I’m sure to enroll my self to every gym there is and buy apidexin or all the other weight loss pill in the market. Also, I am hoping that I can soon find my own BFF who will be there for me and I to her, through thick and thin.
