Must Love Dogs

Our family has two wonderful and lovable dogs that have become the source of our happiness every single day. Reasons why we love them: (1) The brief licking of faces and hands whenever we get home from work or school; (2) The wagging of tails when we call their names; (3) The cute jealousy between the two of them. Hah! (4) The way they sit on our laps to get our attention and ask for belly rubs; (5) The twisting and running when we get them out for a walk; and so on so forth. There are just too many reasons to love these pups ad if you are not yet convinced, look at these cutie patootsi photos!

Foureversary

I have been absent from my blog for a long time because (1) I started Hip Hop Abs two weeks ago and I am always too tired to go online after doing 30 minutes of exercise. So far, so good. Last night, though, I got sick after doing Fat Burning Cardio and Ab Sculpt without eating dinner lol. But wth, I want to “get flat, sexy abs without doing a single crunch.” Thanks Shaun T; (2) Globe is acting so weird (and inefficient) lately here in our area. After we got reconnected two weeks ago, our internet connection has been so awful. I can’t even upload a decent photo on Twitter; (3) I can’t take photos because my camera is sick. It says “Lens error. Please restart.” Restarted it a thousand times and it still says the same thing. Help?

Anyway, here’s a long overdue post. Let me bombard you with our photos during our 4th year anniversary last February. We spent four lovely days in Puerto Princesa, Palawan.

Staycation 2012

We are forever staycationers every Holy Week. (In fact, here’s my Holy Week post last year: Staycation)

I am not surprised that we didn’t make plans again for this year. It has been our family practice to enjoy the comforts of our own home during this time of the year. This morning though, my father was suggesting for us to have family dinner at Tagaytay, which is weird. I instantly shrugged off the idea and told him that it’s a riot outside Manila today until Monday. This isn’t the best time to go out. We easily lose our temper in heavy traffic so we better stay at home.

Since we will be stuck at home for 5 glorious days, I have come up with a serious to-do list to have a productive staycation ever.

Q&A

Yes, I am back.

After a month of waiting and 50 follow-up reports, Globe has finally reconnected our DSL. I was very dissatisfied with their service that if I were to enumerate all their service lapses, this post would be exceptionally long and would contain the following words: (1) inefficient, (2) liars, (3) incompetent and overly abused with curses. I swear it was a grueling waiting game.

Anyway, one of my missions this long weekend is to go back to blogging and I’m starting by answering all pending questions in my Inbox. I’ve already started answering some privately but I still have three anonymous questions to deal with. Here it goes:

Summer is hotter with Banana Boat Sunscreen Lotion, Schick, & Nuffnang

My ideal Nuffnang summer is indulging in the awesomenes of every beach spots in the Philippines. Bluer than blue paradise, powdery sand, orange sunsets and underwater sea life and corals - ah, life.

I have been saving up for a really nice summer vacation and so far, this is where I’m headed to for the next few months: Batangas, Davao, Marinduque, Cebu and Boracay (early January). Yes, I plan that early. Hah!

Bellarocca Birthday Fund

Friends, I have a new goal in life.  

Just so you know, I am already turning 25 this year. Yes, it is my sliver birthday and I think I deserve a grand birthday celebration because I’ve been a good human being for the past 25 years. Heh. Hence, I have this grand dream of celebrating my 25th birthday in a paradise surrounded by seaside cliffs, hot springs, waterfalls, waves and underwater flora and fauna. Err Bellarocca Island Resort & Spa would be fine. Hah!
