Saturday 9: Lie to Me

Saturday 9: Lie to Me


After a long while, I've decided to update my blog and participate to Saturday 9 again. =D


1. Can you tell when someone is lying to you?
-sometimes


2. Tell us about one of your flaws. Do you live with it or try to correct it?
-Flaws? Do I have one? *thinking* Ah, maybe claws. *wicked witch laugh*


3. When was the last time you laughed hard and what struck you as funny?
-Can't remember but I always laugh so hard - someone said like a peacock- even at the shallowest joke.


4. Tell us about a time when you should have tried harder.
-For me, everyday is always a time to try harder -try harder to be a good wife, a parent, a friend, a sister, a daughter, a citizen of my country...


5. If you won the lottery, what would you buy first?
- A house with a studio


6. What movie do you know every word to?
-I've watched Meet Joe Black a lot of times that I already feel like I'm part of the cast.


7. What was the best thing that happened to you this week?
-Seeing my three-year old read simple words.


8. What was the worst thing that happened to you this week?
-Thanks God there's none. =D


9. What do you think is the biggest difference between men and women?
-Their needs. And then, men are visual; women are emotional (generally).

Swingin' By

I didn't realized that it's already more than a month since my last post at Verb. Goodness, where was I all this time? *chuckles*

I really couldn't believe it. And I couldn't believe it either that I used to be so addicted to blogging (and bloghopping, too!) that I missed lotsa meals, sleep, etc... before. But those were the days. Somehow, unexpectedly, I am miraculously cured of the addiction.

So if you're wondering what I've been up to these days, I've really been busy living out. Sometimes, it gets so hectic here that I wish for a quiet escape online. But I also have a ball making most out of Life - offline. :-)

Why I Hate Watching the News

Primetime news these days (at least on this side of the globe) is so toxic. Toxic, toxic, toxic...I rarely watch the news myself but some members of my family always do. And sometimes, I couldn't shield my son from these toxic information.

A couple of days ago, when I came home from work, my son declared:

Mama, *pointing at himself* I am Hayden Kho and you *pointing at me* are Katrina.

Jeezus!

He was in my arms while he said this and I swear I'd have dropped him then, if I were not sitting.

*the names mentioned are two people involved in a sex scandal in my country*

Advance Happy Mother's Day

The country is still celebrating Pacquiao’s big win last Sunday. The print and broadcast media (and the blogging community too) are all talking about him. But why not. Pacman is one big newsmaker indeed and he always makes the Filipinos happy with his conquests in the boxing arena. I can just imagine how jubilant his family must be with this recent victory. I bet Aling Dionisia must be the proudest and happiest mother in Las Vegas these days. The victory must have been an advance Mother’s Day gift to her. *grin*

Now speaking of Mother’s Day, I’m so stumped as to what I’m going to give my mother this weekend. I surely am no Pacquiao in terms of wealth (and strength) but I’d also like to give “something” to my mother on Mother’s Day. The only thing is, I still don’t know what that “something” would be. *smile* I’m actually deciding whether to buy her a gift myself or to give her the resources to buy herself a gift. But I'm leaning on the latter.

Now how about you, what are you giving your mother (or the mother of your kids) on Mother’s Day? Are you picking up a book for her? Or a new car perhaps? Jewelry?

For those of you who are looking into jewelry gift items, Gemz N Gold, a designer and manufacturer of high quality jewelry in California USA has a wide collection of eye-catching designs that will surely capture every woman's heart. So why not say Happy Mother's Day with these diamond-studded pieces?

I'd have given my mother one of these too if only she's fond of jewelry (but she's not). BTW, as Mother's Day offer, Gemz N Gold is including a red jewelry box for your every purchase of jewelry on or before May 11, 2009.

(To all moms out there: Happy Mother's Day!)

Easy Win By Pacquiao

Oh I know. I know others are already posting about this very same topic but being a big Pacquiao fan, I can't help but blog about the Pacman-Hatton that has just recently concluded (like a couple of minutes ago! hehe).

It all seemed unreal but at Round 2, Pacman cleverly and officially brought Hatton down! *big grin*

I was honestly surprised as I had high expectations of Hatton prior to the fight. But sadly, he didn't deliver the punches that I (and maybe Pacman) had expected. His lack of performance was really unexpected and that at the early part of the fight, somehow I already knew who'd win it.

But what a win! Congrats to Pacquiao and his team.

So so Love X-men Origins: Wolverine

On with my movie exploits (what a term! To be honest, I've seen only a few but with my busy sked the count is pretty surprising to me), I forgot to mention this before but I just have to blog that I've seen the leaked copy of X-men Origins: Wolverine earlier this month (okay, who didn't?).

Okay, I don't intend to make a spoiler post but lemme just say that I totally, totally love it that I would love to see it again on the Silverscreen. If you've not seen it, I believe it's better to see it on the big screen.

I wonder when it will hit the movie theaters here but I'll wait as I'm sure it will be worth the wait. As for other countries, I've read on Wiki the ff release dates:


United Kingdom: April 29, 2009
Australia & New Zealand: April 30, 2009
United States & Canada: May 1, 2009

Hila-Lohan

Have you seen Lindsay Lohan's eHarmony video? So hilarious...

Lindsay Lohan's eHarmony Profile from Lindsay Lohan

Oh sheez, I just realized that I wrote 2 posts with Lilo in the middle of it all. And yeah I am sticking to my initial comment that I'm not a fan. Hehe.

Echelon Conspiracy

I watched Echelon Conspiracy the other day (in the office) and all I can say is...

Shane West is soooo cute! Lolz.

Okay, okay that sounded stupid but I don't have much in my pocket to give for the film-if you get the drift. Although I think the beginning of the movie is a bit interesting, as the film rolled, I went "ah ok" all the while disappointment slowly crept in. Among other things, the car chase scenes in Moscow are pretty dragging and should have been cut. And then near the end, the scene where the main character Max (played by West) was talking with a computer is unbelievable, maybe even hilarious.

But other than that, I choose to not say anything. *wink* And really, Shane West is too cute. Hehe.

Friday Fill-ins

Somehow I missed doing this and I'm glad I have a little time to do this today *smile*

1. Angel or not, I will still h-e-a-r-t you.

2. Turn me on in any way you want me.

3. As my mother used to say, you're full of silence (?? hehe).

4. I usually strip and let my skin breathe after I'm done working out or doing something strenuous.

5. Even in the most crowded of rooms I will be able to spot you (with that bald , este natural shine on your head, how can I not?)

6. Wedding (???) is a day fraught with peril. Maybe emotionally.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to sleeping soundly, tomorrow my plans include sleeping (again!) and Sunday, I want to catch more sleep!

Changeling

I saw the movie Changeling, which stars Angelina Jolie, last night and I couldn't help but shed tears. I actually thought I won't do that but down at the end, in the scene where another lost boy who was found was interrogated, hearing the boy say "I miss my Mom, I miss home" got really to me.

This is a late blurb but I gotta say I love the film. Every mother should watch this one. I love the story, setting and costumes - although I can't help but notice that Christine Collins (Angelina) wore the same coat after 5 or so years. A movie about love, hope, courage, friendship and motherhood, I think Changeling, based on a true story, is one of the brilliant movies Angelina has made.

Read the plot from here.

She's Gotta Sue Her Dr

Have you seen Gretchen Barretto lately?

I've seen her full-length interview on the Sunday show the Buzz and I was surprised with her transformation.

To be honest, I'm not too fond of her but I've always thought she's got one of the beautiful faces in Philippine showbiz - until now. Looking at her on TV, she looked like she's aged plus 10 years. I don't know what's wrong but she just doesn't look pretty at all. Something was done to her face. It maybe botox for her cheeks/cheekbones to get that "bump" but it doesn't look great - and that is an understatement. I wonder where shed had "it" made.

Oh btw, I like the pumps that she used. And that is all I liked.

Shopaholic - Not,! I Think

Despite being too busy these past few days, I was able to sneak a little time for myself to watch The Confession of a Shopaholic -in the office. *wink* Well actually I didn't initiate that - a colleague played it and so I watched. *hmmp, excuses!*

Anyway, it was a fun flick. Perfect for a day when you just want to relax -and the windmills in the head. The plot is not complicated -am sure had I watched it when I was in highschool, I would have appreciated it more. Not that I was a shopaholic in HS. But it's the plot, I'm talking about.

Anyway, although not totally, I can relate to the euphoria one gets when shopping. I understand the feeling of exhilaration going to the counter and paying and finally clutching the bag of goods in my hands. But I don't do that often.

Anyway, for fun I took this shopping test online and here's what it says about me (again I'm taking this just for fun, nothing more).

You Are a Discount Shopper

You love to get things as cheaply as possible. You live for sales. It's partially because you like to save money, but it's also because you like the thrill of finding a fabulous deal. Of all the types, you tend to shop frequently but rarely by. You keep an eye on prices. Brand names are not that important to you. You know how to have style without collecting designer tags.

What Kind of Shopper Are You?

LP: Bulaklak

"And 't is my faith, that every flower enjoys the air it breathes."
- William Wordsworth



ibigay, itanim, iregalo, amuyin...
ang bulaklak.

Me

You Communicate Honestly

You don't mince words. You are to the point and all about the facts. However, you are charming enough to tell people the truth yet still not offend them. It's likely that you have a hilarious, no holds barred sense of humor. And you sure tell an entertaining story! You're also quite open. People can ask you anything, and you don't shy away from controversial conversation topics.

What Kind of Communicator Are You?

Got nothing else to do but this...*smiles*

Saturday 9: Letting the Sparks Fly

Saturday 9: Letting the Sparks Fly


1. Where would you go if you wanted to spark your creativity?
My room


2. What would be one thing that would embarrass you a great deal?
Fumbling with my bag and finding out that I wasn't able to bring my wallet with me (when it's already time to PAY!)


3. What values did your parents instill in you?
Hardwork, perseverance, love of God... it's a long list.


4. What’s a fad of your teen years that you remember well?
Tattered jeans, abaca bags and music of Jon Bon Jovi.


5. What is your favorite breakfast?
Rice and dried fish with spicy vinegar. Or the tandem of rice and bacon.


6. What is the best birthday gift that you have received?
I wouldn't want to divulge this. :-)


7. What gadget could you not live without?
Phone.


8. Do you collect anything?
Stamps -but I have forgotten all about that now. I'm trying to collect coins/money (from different countries) now but I only have a small collection of these.


9. What website (non-blog) do you regularly visit?
http://gmail.com. Of course my mail!

Saturday 9: Time Has Come Today

Saturday 9: Time Has Come Today


1. What time of day do you usually play Saturday 9?

Depends if I'm busy or not. Working or not. But usually I try to do it in the morning (although today I'm doing at at 10PM!).


2. At 9AM on a weekday, what are you doing?

Working.


3. At 9PM on any given night, what would you most like to be doing?

Sleeping. Or making my son sleep. *smile*


4. What is your most frequent activity online?

Blogging and reading blogs, the news or tutorials.


5. Is there one day of the week that seems to fly by? If yes, why?

When the hubster is home, the days seem to fly by!


6. Do you agree that the older you get, the faster time seems to go by?

I don't think that has something to do with age. For me, it has something to do with my activities. The clock seems to run faster when I'm too busy and pre-occupied to even check the time!


7. What is your favorite thing to do with free time?

Bum around. Sit and think of what to do next (ironic!).


8. How much time do you spend alone? Would you like it to be more? Less?

I haven't been alone for the longest time! With a kid at home, how can I be alone? *chuckle*
Would I like it to be more or less? I dunno. I'm sure I'd miss my son too much I'd end up crying rivers of tears (like what happened before when I was sent away for a company-sponsored training). But it's also good to really have few minutes just for myself every day.

9. If you could spend one hour doing something what would it be?

Shoot pictures (but an hour wouldn't be enough!)

LP: Tsokolate

Paborito ko. Siguro paborito mo din. Paborito kaya ng lahat?

(My favorite. Maybe yours, too. Now is it safe to say it's everyone's favorite too? Maybe not.)

LP:Lila (Violet)

Malamang higante ang gumagamit nito. :-)

O is datchu Misis Teapot?

LP: Kahel (Orange)

Laruan ng anak ko... ayy, parte lang pala ito. :-)

Saturday 9: The First Apartment

Saturday 9: The First Apartment


1. Where had you moved from?

My parents house. I was fresh out of College then.

2. Describe your first apartment.

It's a two-story wooden-concrete structure with a little veranda. I was living with 3 other girls. I remember that there's a little space at the back (where we do our laundry) where you can see the sunrise.


3. How old were you when you had your apartment?

I was 21. I celebrated my 22nd birthday there. It the most fun birthday party I ever had!

4. Did you have roommates? If yes, tell us more.

I did. The other one is my close friend and classmate in college. The two other girls are reviewees, too. Sadly, among the 4 of us, 1 flunked the Board Exam. I haven't heard anything of her eversince.

5. What was your place of employment then?

None.

6. How were you finances at the time?

I was dependent of my parent the whole time I was reviewing for the Board. What a shame! BUT I really had no time to take a part-time job because I was reviewing full-time and the schedule was pretty hectic.


7. Tell us about a lover who spent a night there.

None. I. swear. I was unattached then :-)

8. Tell us about a band you listen to then. (You can cheat. Look it up.)

I honestly couldn't remember. Ahh yes, Matchbox 20 and Nirvana.

9. How long did you live there and why did you move from there?

I lived there for about 6months or so - I would have stayed longer but I had to go home after taking the Board Exam. It's part of the deal I had with my parents. :-) I went back to this city a couple of months later -but I no longer stayed in that apartment.

Guilty As Charged

I feel so guilty with my thoughts now. With our city recently declared to be in the state of calamity, I feel so guilty reading about diamonds and much more for salivating over these jewelry pieces. But how can I not?

I’m really sorry I can’t help it. So okay, I’ll show you few items I saw perusing few moments ago.

Here is a cute pair of earrings with diamonds

and its matching necklace pendant.

Sinful, I believe. *hiding under the bed* But aren't they cute? They'd be perfect for me (especially that I so love wearing flipflops). Oh dear, oh dear, I'm so selfish.

But to justify *smiles*, I also learned something today. I didn’t know that the word diamond comes from the Greek word "Adamas" which means unconquerable. And I was able to find a Ring Size Chart from Gemz N Gold which could come in handy anytime.

Oh by the way, in case you want to buy some jewelry pieces for your loved ones this Valentine's Day, you could find a lovely collection --all of which are made in USA -- at Gemz N Gold. That being said, you can be assured of the quality of these jewelry pieces – it’s actually a lifetime quality guarantee from them.

Just Updating

I am so NOT busy.

I have plenty of time to spare to update my blogs...if I want to... but I'm so feeling LAZY.

Must be weather. It's dreary at my end. Or must be the flood (I thought I won't be able to get back home yesterday. It rained nonstop the whole day yesterday and the city's flooded like you couldn't imagine -it's actually in the news!). Yup, that must be it, the flood must have erased everything I wanted to write. (?!)

So maybe next time then. Or maybe in the coming days I have better things to blog about. :-)
