Baby Wipes...

Last Friday, I decided to go home early (early, meaning, not later than 8pm). At that time I just felt that I need to take a break from work. But when I got home, I sensed something is wrong with my health. I felt cold and my body temperature was hot. I immediately snuggled under my comforter. I then realized that, finally, my physical and emotional stress were already catching up with me.

Anyway, I looked for bioflu in my medicine box and got dismayed when I did not find any. I settled for biogesic instead while trying to console myself that my mama would prefer biogesic over any other medicine for fever.

I panicked when the thermometer showed 38.5 degrees celsius! I was trying to imagine how it feels on a hot, summer day when the temperature at yahoo weather reports at 33 only. What more for a 38.5?!

I felt that my body was so hot that I was already worried that my fever might worsen. Instinct instructed me to wipe my whole body with a wet towelette. But then, i was afraid to wet my hands with water. Good thing, I remember I still have a few packs of baby wipes in my cabinet. I got it and let it do its job.

Voila! After less than half an hour, my fever was almost gone! Was it because of biogesic or baby wipes? Maybe both. Or perhaps thanks to the science of oral medicine? Hmmm.. I would rather attribute it to baby wipes. It's like magic! :)

I Love You All The Way

My recent vacation at my hometown gave me the chance to unwind, meaning, sleep-eat-sing-play-dance-sing-eat-sleep (in no particular order). My baby would oftentimes join me in my busy schedule, except for sleeping and eating (as I am too good to share that. :)

I love to sing. Never mind if my singing does not love me. It came to a point when my baby innocently asked me this while I was in the middle of my concert: "Mommy, do you really love to sing?" That simple question made me think deeply if I should change career paths or perhaps, I should just be simply reported to Bantay Bata 163 for torturing her with my golden voice, much more for the consequences of her question. :)

Well, I could not blame my baby for asking me that. I sang "I Love You All The Way" for nth times. I just can't help falling in love with that song since last year when I first heard it being played. It speaks much of an unconditional love, something that the cynical-but-still-hopeless romantic in me could not help but say, "it's just too good to be true..."

Lovers in Heritage.. last night..

Just before I left the office last night, I was tempted to open the TV and took a peek on what's being shown at the local version of Lovers in Paris. There I saw KC looking for Piolo at the lobby of Heritage Hotel. It was flashed for only a few seconds but that scene was actually shot for a number of times, which made me realized that being an actress takes a lot of patience. Thank God I am not one. Hehehe

Back to my long-awaited episode, I was disappointed when one of my fave songs, "I Love You All The Way", was not being played at all. Or must it be that I just didn't get to that part as I already left the office in haste? Well, just to console myself, I would rather give it the benefit of the doubt. :)

Lovers in Heritage... soon!

I went home early yesterday, as early as seven o'clock in the evening. Yes, I consider that as unusual since I usually go home at nine o'clock. But that's not the story of this post.

While I was waiting for the delivery of my clothes from the laundry shop, I happened to glance at the TV. I saw Piolo Pascual playing the piano while KC was watching him. It was the preview of the future episode of Lovers in Paris.

I thought the shooting of scenes in Heritage Hotel last month was already shown in TV. I look forward to watch that scene, especially the part where the song entitled, "I Love You All The Way" is being played as a background music. But I know that would be near to impossible as I always go home late. I could have watched it in the office but i dare not to since I would rather listen to music while doing some stuff in the computer.

Enough of this thing. It's almost 9pm. Time to go home. :)

Voters' Registration Bruhaha

Weeks before the deadline of voters' registration, I was already considering transferring my registration from Surigao to Taguig since I might not be able to go to my hometown on election day, anyway.  But then, I hesitated as I got feedbacks that the process of registering would not be easy.  On the eve of typhoon Santi (October 30), I found out too late that, just the night before, the barangay accommodated most of my neighbors at the Police Station for their Police Clearance and they were already scheduled to march to COMELEC the following night.

Knowing my dilemma, the President (of our homeowners' association) took pity on me and accompanied me to the zone leader.  I was lucky enough that I was able to secure the needed Police Clearance without too much effort.  I was relieved further when I saw some of my neigbors as it was already about nine o'clock in the evening then.  The problem started when we were ferried to the barangay hall and waited for (censored!) while I could hear the rain threatening to pour flood-potential water in the area.  Right after we got we wanted, we were advised to proceed directly to COMELEC.  And it was almost midnight!

My neighbors and I (all are beautiful ladies! hehehe) decided to go home as we were already afraid that Santi might join us at the COMELEC office.  Nevertheless, we agreed to meet at seven o'clock the following day.  But then when I woke up that morning, the wind was making scary sounds outside.  Hence, I let Santi do his job while I nestled in bed and slept.  At almost noontime, my neighbors and I trooped to the barangay hall and proceeded immediately to COMELEC office.

There, we were greeted with bad news from acquaintances who just survived the recent Taguig COMELEC stampede.  Good thing, all their bones and skins remained intact.  Hehehe.  Anyway, we were informed that the COMELEC decided to defer the registration to November 3 due to power interruption..

Well, i should say, my registration efforts were swept away by typhoon Santi just like that.  The following day, November 1, I was on my way to my hometown for a week-long vacation.  I guess, I am meant to be in Surigao City on Election Day.  :)

UKG in Heritage

Just this morning, I saw Winnie Cordero on TV featuring the Christmas theme of Heritage Hotel at Umagang Kay Ganda (UKG) morning show. I did not give much thought on what has been displayed at the lobby, where I usually pass by on my way to office, not until now. The hotel showcased a London Castle, wherein anyone who would take a peek of what's inside, would see lots of yummy goodies that nobody could resist.

If I remember it right, the hotel's theme last year was about polar express that is exactly patterned after the movie with the same title. it was just unfortunate that i was not able to take a picture of myself with that background, for souvenir purposes. hehehe

When I arrived at the lobby right before nine o'clock this morning, Winnie was already in the Riviera (still inside the hotel) and was featuring the sumptuous dishes served for breakfast. I hope they also mentioned that the hotel's cakes are sooo sinfully delicious, especially that yummy chocolate cake that I recently tried. And who would not forget their own concoction of lemon iced tea that anyone in the office would swear that its sweet taste is absolutely heaven?!

I'm hungry! :)

I'm Back!

It had been months since I noticed that my ads in my blog were nothing but all public service ads. I thought my account with adsense was deactivated for some violations that I was not aware of.

Well, a week before I took a grand vacation (as in!), I received a long-delayed mail from google. I followed the instructions and, voila! I am back! I am sooo back!

For those of you who know why, wish me luck! For those who don't, just drop me a line.. :)
