Transformers 3 & the new girl

Is it just me? I had a headache watching T3, seriously. I was looking at my watch and it has been over an hour and no climax yet. Well yeah the special effects were great no doubt about it, but hey Michael Bay I hope you squeezed it to a lil less than 2 hours.

The three comments I gathered from the three men err boys who watched it was "Megan Fox is still hotter" "Mas gusto pa din namin si Mikaela" - these comments were from my husband and my 2 nephews.

The new "it" girl Rosie Huntington-Whitley

She is a Victoria Secret model alright. Her role which includes running hours end in 4"heels could have given her callouses nyahaha. She's a beauty but I have to agree with the boys that the girl's physique is much tamer than the previous Transformer girl who is fierce and yeah more much more appealing.

Megan was replaced because of the comment she made at a magazine

"He's like Napoleon and he wants to create this insane, infamous mad-man reputation," Fox told the magazine. "He wants to be like Hitler on his sets, and he is. So he's a nightmare to work for but when you get him away from set, and he's not in director mode, I kind of really enjoy his personality because he's so awkward, so hopelessly awkward. He has no social skills at all. And it's endearing to watch him."

I say she better check her head, it better fit her hat. Her comment that she said she was hotter than Angelina made me dislike her more. Enough about her :p

How did you like Transformers 3?

I wanna watch Monte Carlo, yep I'm more of a sweet "romantic comedy" movie fan than action, but with T3 in all the cinemas in SM Pampanga how could I? Hmmmm I guess I better just wait for Harry's last installment tapos Twilight naman :D

Half Year 2011

Today is July 1, 2011 the beginning of the year's second half. How did your first half went? Was it fun? Was it productive? have you done anything to inspire someone or even make them smile?

My six months were busy months. My starbucks planner (yep the one that made me coffee addict last december) is full of activities. January - March was drawing months, I mean for the house. That wasnt easy, i tell you it aint. April was the start of construction and the house today is still a work in progress. I wont post pictures yet but let me tell you the plastering for the first floor is done, trusses almost and the roof will be installed next week. It certainly looks like a house na and we are excited.

As for the little girl, her sched is full packed too. I enrolled her to SP (that's for speech) last april. Recently she has been going to school from tuesday to friday. She had a hard time during the transition when went to Brunei for a 2-week vacay but she is catching up pretty well. Her teachers had noted many improvements lately.

Have I blogged about how she count?

"Wiyo one two twi foy fay sik memen ayt nine ten wiyo one..." Yep, after ten she goes back to wiyo - that's zero!

She can say the alphabet too. Sings the pirate song, "excise" - exercise with daddy, and a lot of other things. I cannot put into words the joy that we feel everytime she says something new.

She soooo love her dad (vice versa naman). That's L O V E for me. Here she is after playing rockstar with Vhin, Thea holding the mic and daddy the guitar (not shown), they are singing I wanna be a rockstar by BJ from Barney.



There are other things that transpired, like the new business that me and ate lalah has started and another solo business that I am excited to do (not baking muna since I still dont have an oven - nasunog kasi). There are new friends I've met and their roles in our life will always be special.

The second half of the year wont be different, it will still be full of activities as we start to finish the house (ehh start to finish???), I mean we'll start looking for tiles, paints, designs, furniture etc etc.

Hoping for a productive 2nd half for you and me. Happy July everyone.

letter to Brunei

Dear Brunei,

Hi! It's been 13 days since we last saw you and we've been missing you already. I hope everything is good and I also hope that you miss us too :)

I will miss the double rainbows.
And the beach too.
I will miss your culture.
I'll miss The Mall and Yayasan, though I must admit I'd miss The Mall more (the shopaholic in me confess haha). And of course Empire.
Oh darling Empire, I love you. I promise to see you again.

Having met you is one of our life's major breakthroughs. We learned a lot from you. You have a different culture, religion, language even government but you welcomed us with open arms. You let us into your territory and shared your abundance with us.

Your surname Darusallam means Abode of Peace in Arabic, and true to your name you have been peaceful and calm through the years. I deeply admire you for that. May you always remain blessed.

You've made a permanent mark etched in our hearts, an awesome mark.

"Au Revoir" - "Till we meet again"

Love,
Em, Alvin and Thea

Father's Day t-shirts

Custom t-shirts are very much in demand these days. Customers would be those who want to see their name in their shirt, people who want to personalize their gift, advertisers, schools and so many others.
So I went to cafepress t-shirts site and I got interested. They got timely Father's day gifts (which is next Sunday mind you), graduation, even pets.
I like this humor shirt :D

The prices range from $16-$29 but the t-shirts look comfy. Dont know about deliveries though, I dont have time to read all the stuff. Plus I dont know if it will reach in time if you order from the Philippines nyahaha. I am pretty much reminding you lang that Father's day is this Sunday and we need to find something special for the father of our children and our dads as well.
Here's another shirt from cafe press :)
would be nice for my Tatay as he got 4 beautiful daughters
