Lovely Day
by Parliament Syndicate

I like it when the night comes
'cause I'm looking forward to another day with you
Never thought that we'd be one
I never want to let go

I wish that time would stop
When I'm with you
Life is so nice
'cause your love keeps me alive

I love the way you love me
The way you stroke my hair
It feels so right
Your kiss and hug lingers
I thank God for having you
'Cause I love you...

We could walk together
Talk about the future
But babe we got to take it slow
'Cause babe, we got to make it grow

Christmas Greetings

Dec 23 - Christmas Party @ Work

I was assigned to get a Visa gift card for everyone. I was accompanied by Nikko to Pavillions and we did some grocery too for the tequila (salt & lemon & shot glass). When we got back, lunch is ready. We had Kebab for lunch. Good food. Then we have to get back to work afterwards coz the party starts at 4pm. The party was organized by Archie, Edgar and myself. It's the first time we had a program coz usually we just eat out for dinner. Anyways, the program started with stories and greetings across diversity.. oh how we celebrate Christmas and Hannukah. It was followed by 5 special awards wherein I got 2.. =P It's the Most Affable and Most Creative Award (NAKS NAMAN!!! hehehe) It was done thru ballots and Archie was the one who tallied the results so I have no idea about it =P They were all teasing me na it's LUTO since I got 2 awards and our big boss got my name too for the Exchange gift. hehehe We had games too and our group lost coz I can't burst my balloon.. Teehee..

After the party, I went to Honeybaked Ham to pickup my order. It's a gift for Darwin's family. I went to Marie Callender afterwards to pickup the pie I ordered for our dinner. It was really foggy that night and I can't see the car that's in front of me... not even the freeway entrance.. I missed it twice =P

We had Thai for dinner and the banana pie from Marie Callender. Darwin gave me another gift for Christmas. It's a heart necklace with 3 diamonds =) It's looks so pretty.. Thanks.. It didn't stop there. He gave me another gift so I can open it on Christmas Day.. it's Charmed Season 2 DVD. The first gift is the Nike Shox... =P

Dec 24 -Noche Buena with my fam

I arrived at Bakersfield at 3ish. My cousins and I watched "The 40 year old Virgin". It's really funny.. There are familiar places too like the street of Ventura Blvd and Versailles in Encino that's near the eBay store..

Went to church for the midnight mass then we had Noche Buena. Justin can't get enough of Mario Kart DS. I saw him sitting at one corner playing the game. =P When it's time to open the gifts, the kids were so excited. It's cute to see their reaction. I guess I was like that when I was a kid.








Dec 25 - Family Christmas Party and Tita Tina's Birthday

When I woke up, I don't feel good coz I have muscle pains and I have a fever. I took some pills and it helped a lil bit. We watched the Lakers game. Took a shower and visitors arrived at 5ish. Had dinner. Chat for awhile. Played poker. Then I slept at 11pm coz I really dont feel good.

Dec 26 - Home sweet home

I arrived in LA at 6ish. We're supposed to go to the mall to return somethin but I'm so tired that I need to rest first. Oh, earlier that day, I bought a Rampage faux sherpa boots from Gottschalks coz I got a $25 gift card from my godmother (yeah, I still get gifts from my godparents.. hehehe) and there's no Gottschalks in LA. Damn, I got a really good deal coz it's original price was $80 and I got it only for $40... then less the gift card.. So, I only paid $15 for the shoes.. =P

My Birthday

Got a wake up call from Darwin and mom. I really don't wanna go to work that day but I have to. There's no traffic, pretty good day... what a nice start =)

I received a lot of greetings from my family and friends and from some peeps who I dont expect would remember my birthday. That really made me smile. I'm so greatful to have such friends.

My co-workers were so sweet surprising me with a birthday cake and a card. Actually, I was about to leave the office when they sung the birthday song with the cake =P I got teary-eyed. It was a pretty cake with lots of fruits on it.. yummy!!! Archie took all of these pictures, he actually took my digicam from my purse since he knows that I always bring it.

Candle blowing


The cake


The Kuuuletz.. Nikko and Archie minus Obi =P


Met Darwin after work to eat dinner at Tony Romas and watch King Kong at Universal City Walk. I had baby back ribs.. I thought I wont be able to finish the 9 slabs of the ribs but I did. Oh, I really did pig out. Walked a lil bit to digest the food then went to the theatre to watch the movie. It was a loooong movie but it was really good. Darwin fell asleep though.











Got home at 1am. Had a great day. I'm happy. Slept peacefully. Thanks for everything Lord.

The new apprentice

I just know that Randal's gonna win.. He's got good leadership and he's nice to his team members and to top it all, he's got a strong academic background (Rutgers, Oxford, and MIT) WOW!!!! He really deserves it!!

I thought it's a tie between the 2 Rs.. when Mr. Trump asked Randal if he would want to hire Rebecca too. Well, if Randal said yes, then that defeats the purpose of the show. He intelligently replied "..that you're looking for an apprentice.. not an apprenti (plural)"... Good job Randal!!!

Siaz was here

I uploaded my personal video (from my Fuji digicam) at YouTube and it worked... Woohoo!!! Head Over Feet is one of my fave Alanis songs. It's a short clip coz this already took 24MB of space. I created an account at Google video too but they are stricter though, they need to verify your video before you can access or share it.

YouTube rocks!!! Alanis Live @ Avalon!!!

Email or link it!!!

My spanking NEW monitor

Yeah... the life!!! Neat desk huh?! =P I did some cleaning before it was setup.

Feel the Magic

This is the new DS game I'm addicted to. It has a lot of style and it's fun to play. I just love it. I still play Mario Kart and Nintendogs... Love it all!!!

Went shopping again last Saturday at Fashion Square in Sherman Oaks, watched a Variety show in West Covina. Sunday, ate lunch at Encino Deli, hear mass at Our Lady of Peace, returned some stuff at Best Buy then ate dinner at IHOP in Burbank. Watched Madagascar at home... VERY HILARIOUS. "I miss New York tuloy" =P

Alanis @ Avalon, Hollywood

December 1. Got there at around 7ish and the show started at 9pm, which is an hour behind. But it's alright. The club is packed and there's a lot of Alanis hard core fans and... I mean A LOT. Do you know who Mr. Duplicity is? I don't.. hehehe So I guess I'm not that fanatic to Alanis but I LOVE listening to her music. The first song is YOUR HOUSE and the crowd cheered as she enters..

Would you forgive me love
If I danced in your shower
Would you forgive me love
If I laid in your bed
Would you forgive me love
If I stay all afternoon


I love her version of CRAZY too but I what I really want to hear is PERFECT. She turned me down =P Overall.. it's ALL good. I wish I'd see one of her shows again.. "di nakakasawa" as what Tins told me. I agree.. Her last song is THANK YOU.

First Turkey Dinner

Yeah, it's true. I never had turkey during Thanksgiving.. EVER! and this is the first time =) It's hard to look for a restaurant that's open on Thanskgiving so we ended up eating at Coco's.

TOP: turkey, mashed potato, stuffing & pumpkin pie BOTTOM: honey baked ham. YUM-YUM!!!


Went to CompUSA for the 12mn sale but I didn't get any. They ran out of stock of the flash drive I'm eyeing for. I bought the flash drive at amazon.com instead.
