2nd Anniversary Part1

Why Part 1? Because there would be part 2, tomorrow were off for a date, I will tell you about it next week. For now let me share with you pics from our May 18 date:
Seldom do we three have decent pics together either I took a pic of them first then copr it using photoelement or set the timer and run to be with them. Good thing the kind staff of Empire Hotel lend us a hand to have these pics taken
Next picture is me with my first date, my super loving uber handsome husband, woot woot!Thanks to Noy who took the pic, medyo blurry but its alryt. We both have pics with our second date our cutie luvydoodles sweetiepie Thea, syemps mine is when she's drinking milk.

side kwento, Noy's real name is Jesus making me gasp and hubby told Aldrin, the manager (they are both Filipinos), that he musnt curse Noy and to that Aldrin said "pinapaguilty nyo naman ako Sir, lagi kong minumura yan eh" Hahaha, i guess that's the reason why his nickname is Noy so they feel less guilty.

The little girl walked around the hotel lobby and stopped at one of the mini tables with carnations on it and guess what she did...

Last pic goes to my roses! lovely dozen red roses for moi from my uber sweet hubby!
I said last year I will make bawi this year for our anniv. So here's what I did:

For 2 weeks I've been cropping and editing pics. I had several pages but I was holding back coz the ink might not be enough. SO there, a 7 page photobook with only the two of us in it - courtship stage, engagement, wedding, honeymoon, preggo stage, and recent pics. .

Happy anniversary again luvy! I am super excited na for tomorrow, my bags are already packed woohoo =D

Filipina in Brunei

This entry is for my n@wie sissies mavic and andrea. Mavic's husband is working here in Brunei so I bet she'll be very interested about the type of life we have here. Andrea will soon be moving in this country and I hope this entry will be helpful for you.

It has been a year and 3 months since me and my babe moved here in Brunei to be with the husband. It wasnt an easy transition from a working girl to a stay at home mom, actually it was a challenge not only for me but also for hubby. I am just so thankful that he is patient enough till I learned the ways how to be a mom and a wife (or just be me) at the same time, I am still learning and everyday is a different journey. Thank God for the many rainbows He has been sending us a reminder of His promise that He will protect and He will provide.

Enough about us muna, the general things you need to know about the country is here

If you are coming from the Philippines and moving to Brunei you better bring the following:
-Clothes and lots of it because if you were planning to just buy new clothes here you will be very disappointed with the few choices (the locals dress differently that's why and the brands that are available are few and a little costly better buy the clothes from Pinas).
-If you're bringing children bring the most effective medicine you think there is for every sort of sickness possible because the famous pharmacy here which is the "the guardian" is nothing compared to our "mercury drug". I suggest you bring disudrin for kids, the vitamins, the insect repellant the organic one, if you are using lactacyd for bath bring lots of it - we had a really hard time finding them here that's why we switched muna to cetaphil which is by the way $30+ and that's a lot.

Q. How would you compare the cost of living dito sa Pilipinas?
A. For us, except for electronics and gasoline everything else are more expensive here.

Q. Do you like it there? Is it a place you would consider staying for good?
A. For a young family like ours Brunei is a good place, we have lots of time together. If we will still have a contract after next year we would definitely stay.

Q. Which stuff to bring. Is it worth to ship things from Manila.
A. Usually the houses for rent here are fully furnished. We didnt bring things other than our personal stuff when we went here

I blogged here things we did when we were new in this country.
So there, i hope this entry helps. Hope to see you here soon, settled and happy.

The Number 2

2 is the smallest and the first prime number.
An integer is an even number if it is divisible by 2.
2 is the atomic number of helium (whatever atomic number means)
2 is a lucky number in Chinese.from Wikipedia

In the Philippines
2 = ABS CBN, they claim they are the biggest network (GMA7 claims the same way)
Number 2 is also associated to the other woman/man

Number 2 is also a slang term for you know "gotta go go go" urbandictionary

But for today I will define number 2 in a more personal way
2 = 730 days, 104 weeks
2 = lots of fun night chats, long drive talks, walk at the beach, funny jump shots
2 = expertise in changing nappies, preparing milk, "tomorrow" repertoire before bedtime
2 = being preggo, birthing, quiting work, fulltime mom, fulltime wife, moving to Brunei, vacation in Pinas, back to Brunei

Happy 2nd Anniversary to my hubby! Last 2008 I wrote this and I still feel the same way this day.

At the end of the day, it was our relationship blessed by the church which truly matters. A start of a new journey together has just begun. And yes, nyemnyem is unbelievably happy!

Life is beautiful! Really... really

bangkok trip cancelled

Last February during the travel fare in OGDC I we wanted to buy the Bangkok tour but lo and behold the date that we want is not on sale? I was brokenhearted. The trip should have been this month.

This proves that our Bangkok trip was not really meant, thank you Lord.
