Oh Brother!

The date is set.. Dec 12, 2009.; 10AM.

I am not so happy with the date, - this means I have to miss Polatex's wedding, I laid my promises that Id be her bridesmaid; that I will fly to Bataan, for the record - i even skipped Sinulog and adjusted my Vacay so I can attend her wedding..

But because of surprising turn of events - whoola - -Oh brother!

Im sorry Polatex n RAlph - but I will have to miss your wedding..

It's not my Wedding.

I have to constantly remind myself that It's not my wedding.
I can't believe I got so pissed on how they carry the wedding plans of my brother. Its sooooo weird.

Well, to point a case, They want me to be maid of honor.THEY because lots decided about it. Isnt it the bride's SOLE decision to pick the best girl buddy she had for most her life. Heloo, I just met her once last year and I roughly talk to her. Just because I am the sister from Dubai - makes me the famous instant Maid of Honor - that I dont deserve at all. Hell No. I dont want to be the Maid of Honor; I told her that. Honestly, I just want to be the gospel reader or the offerer -but to give justice to bloodline, ok, Bridesmaid is fine,

(I have always been picky when it comes to weddings - esp being a bridesmaid. i vowed that itll only be my sister and closest friends that I walk the aisle with)..

Second point of the case. They want Russel to be one of the groomsmen, Hell NO, just imagine how I went out of control,,grrrr.. Just because he is my boyfriend - whom THEY HAVE NEVER PERSONALLY MET - being him in the guys' list is still not reasonable, I screamed - No he cant be,..He will never be.....

I know I have been over acting - maybe because I dont like their ideas or how they want to be wed. Because definitely thats not how I want my wedding to be. I appreciate their efforts though, and because they chose to hold the reception in a hideous hall over Mariott (which I promised to spend 100K) ; they prefer to hassle themselves by making all these invyts and favors - when they could get a coordinator -- - still does not discount the hardwork and heart they put on this event.

So I surrender... THIS is NOT my WEDDING. I have to gun-shot this in my head. And no matter how funny it will turn out to be, I would still not miss it for the world. because I want to be there on one of the best days in their lives.

Dissapointed and Irrititated, I still love you mom and Bertoy..You win. IM putting the white flag. Let it become your dream wedding. Cant wait.

The Angel

I have always believed in Angels. Both in air up there; and in Bea& Chloe.

On this day, I was blessed with the 2nd angel sent to me. My Chloe.

She has become a very fine, funny, smart, clever yet super nice pedigree.

I can never be so thankful to have her in this world.

I love you my Precious Angel. Happy Birthday Chloe. Tita is praying for you everyday.

Unexpected Visit

I whistled as Riza & Edgar, excitedly announced that we are heading to Atlantis, the newly opened, over-ratingly famous and posh hotel in Dubai. I was gleaming; now I can attest everyones' all jaw-dropping stories about Atlantis...


Equally new to me, is the Palm Jumerah, I only saw a lot of it in the Net and of course, actual vision when I flew to Cebu last year, that too the macro-view of it, making out the Palm. But the tiny details of it, how it look inside and all - remains an imagination.


Not anymore. The entrance was so expensive. haha, all Flats there are wooooo, looking so elegant and again, expensive. And these are Free-Hall Flats - actually bought and owned. See, in Dubai, 90% of the properties are leased or rented, so these being bought by home owners, you can just imagine how much thousands these cost.



Security is tough. When you pave down the branches of the Palm, there sits in the villas. Now if flats look expensive, these look Millions. Imagine. David Beckham & Brad Pitt rumoured to have owned villas here. Hmmm... No Wonder.





Then The Atlantis. Before you enter the 1-km tunnel, you can see the hotel. Beautiful. Twin look on the Bahamas. Cars, on lookers lined up on the side, appreciating Atlantis and loving the Arabian Ocean on the right. People seem contented to have their pics taken with the Hotel as the background. What most do not know is, there is a Mall inside the Hotel - which is a great excuse to get in and have pictures taken inside. I wavered and marveled. Soon I saw myself posing, poshing, in all corners of the mall and lobby.



I meant to jump but the call for embarassment stopped me, So I did my peace signs instead.


The best part of the unexpected visit - I was just wearing my sleeping shirt, home shorts, & Adidas Bathroom slippers.. haha, not my fault, i was dressed to have dinner in an "INATO" seafood cafeteria in Jumerah Road. We never plan to go to Atlantis. So imagine how the guests would have thought seeing me , that too posing and taking pictures like it was my first day to know what a camera is.. Oh My Gullaayyyy!

Mom, just bought an Iphone

"she will rant for the next 48 years".just kidding. of course she will marvel with my latest proof of technology upgrade..

Its Apple.3G,16GB.

It's black. Black is Rock. I rock.....woooooo

Fifty One Months.

Its hard to believe, but I have been in UAE for a grand total of 51 months..and unfortunately.. counting..

Pronto!

just practising my Italian.

I'm kicking off this blogsite with my transparent desire to visit Venice one of these days

Being optimistic is a talent. Hopeful to be in line, I remain positive that I will do it.

How I long to jump in the Gondola, have a tounge's out snap in Bassilica San Marco or the wavering peace sign on top of the Ponte di Rialto bridge.

The Canals. I love them.

To indulge in the real Italian Taste of Pasta, Pizza and Fettucini. Varied and Exceptional Italian Cuisine. I dont want to imagine anymore.,.

Sigh + crossed-fingers; I will go there someday..
