BurP!

I am in Johannesburg South Africa and I just came back from the scrumptuous meal we had in Bull Run. I had Rump steak today. With beautiful beautiful potato wedges, crisp from the outside and soft in the inside. We also had thr creamiest creamy spinach and some sweet pumpkins.

with a glass of red of course.

Oh the steak, melts in your mouth. it's the best!

How I wish I could bring my husband and my family here for dinner. They would love it. Well, for the moment, I'm just taking as many bites of the world as I can.

The only problem is, it all goes to the cheeks =(

but no worries, can't NOt have Steak in South Africa! WAKA WAKA Eh EH!

Andre

The night before Angel's labor day, I had a very vivid dream, and I told my friend Monet about it. In the dream, we were having a vacation, my family and Jojo's. And Angel was still pregnant, in the dream, she looked exactly how she was when I last saw her, with a full bump and walking like a drugged penguin... ever so slowly, ever so carefully. haha. Nway, in the dream, I called them in their room, and they said they were in the spa, I said, ok wait for me, I'm coming. I got there and the Spa was the werdest Ive ever seen. The room was filled with hay stacks, the ones you see in fields and farms. Some were just standing by the room and the rest were like seats, and when I saw Angela, she was lying on a bed of hay stack, and I told her, how come you're not yet having the baby? and she said I don't know. and then I told her, let me help you and I held her tummy and rubbed it and then I woke up!

Weird dream, I know.


Then in the evening I received an sms. It said: Pok, nasa labor room na si Angel. My heart skipped a beat. I said a little prayer, Lord, keep Angel and Andre safe, and please make Andre look like Angela, joke, haha. It's a good day to have a baby today! =) I called Jojo and asked him what was happening, and his voice was filled with excitement and worry, but more of excitement =) I immediately messaged my other bestfriend, Mindy and she too was so excited and happy. After hours and hours of waiting, I was constantly checking Jojo's wall updates in Fb, and I was becoming agitated. I had a chat with Mindy, and I told her I was getting worried. My husband even called me Madam Auring. I called Jojo to check again and he said the doctors said evrything was going normal. With that thought in mind, I decided to sleep because I was going on a flight the next day. I know tomorrow I will wake up and there's a new baby pic on Jojo's Fb. So excited to see Andre. =)


When I woke up, I wanted so much to check Fb but I was running late, as usual. I told myself I was gonna call Jojo in the bus. But in the bus I had to put my make up on cause I was running extra late. And so after briefing on the way to the aircraft I called Jojo. His voice, cracked and was filled with worry. I heard my own heart beating like a drum. I couldnt process what Jojo was telling me, partly because of the noisy crew next to me, I wanted to yell SHUT THE EFF UP, stoopid, cant you see im on the phone, nway, I tried my best to listen to every word Jojo was saying. Angel had a hard time at labor, and had to have a CS operation, i just typed in Cs because I dont know how to spell the long term of it. Anyway, He told me other worrying stories, which I'm not sure if I can blog about, so Im not going to. I struggled not to cry as I was wearing cheap mascara. BUT the most important thing was , THEY WERE BOTH OK, and ANDRE IS BORN!!! =) yehey!!!

Thank You Lord, for a beautiful beautiful baby boy--- Andre. =) ANd thank you Lord for keeping Angela safe, and for making Jojo strong amongst the challenges of this day!

I'll be a ninang again! =)

What's somebody like you doing in a plane like this???

Just Because RTA hates me.

I want to go back home.
I want to see blue skies
I want to smell the rain. 
I want this summer to end
... Feels like it never will. 

I'm tired.
Maybe I've just been having a bad day.
Or a bad month, or a bad year even. 
but what I really am is pissed.
Is my time here enough? 
Or is it just me who's had it.
tired of taking crap.
From passengers, from cab drivers, from Rta who wouldn't give me license to drive.
Need to eliminate taking cabs or I'm gonna be blogging in jail. 
Everyone here seems to be having a bad day.   Everybody seems unhappy. Nobody cares. Nobody wants to care.
Or is it just me feeling shitty.
I feel like cutting my hair today but scared I might regret.
I don't know what to do today.
I'm so bored. Tired of this place.
Tired of not going anywhere else but the mall.
I want outdoor activities to begin!

Thank God for my good friend, i almost went bonkers today.
but Monet and KFC saved the day!

Another junk filled day has passed.
I will be in Jakarta where I will not sleep of paranoia.

My Hubby's 26th... and The 3rd Birthday That I'm Not Around =(


I bought a cake, blew the candle and ate it too, except, I wasn't with you beh. =(
I'm sorry.

I know, I'm a bad bad wife.
But this blog is not about me.
It's about my hubby who begs me to write about him almost every night. =)

But I don't know what to say.

Except that I love him so so much. And I hate myself evry time I have to leave him. My job requires me to leave and it just sucks cause I miss him. It's been 4 years, and you think I've gotten used to it, to leaving him, but seriously, it only gets worse. I miss him more and more. And it gets harder and harder to leave. and I could only sigh.

They say that you'll know it when you meet the person you'll marry or end up with. And many would ask, how? And the answer would be, you just know.

It's cliche. But it's true. When I met Sonnie, I just knew. I just knew that he is the guy I wanna spend the rest of my life with. I just knew he is the person I want to be with through whatever. Even I ask myself why. Haha just kidding.

They say that you should marry someone who you could have endless conversations with. I would like to say that I did, but we're really not having any conversation, I would do the talking, and the talking and the talking. And he... well he does all the listening. Haha. I hate that he does not talk as much as I do, but I do love the fact that he can stand me blabbing about evrything and anything every single freaking day. I love him for that, but that's not why he is the one.

They say that you should marry someone who makes you laugh. Sonnie does. Some people may find him serious, but he is funny. Every little thing he does with his face, makes me laugh. He dances and I laugh, he moves his head while driving and I laugh. I just find evrything that he does funny. Which is good for me. Cause I am most of the time sad. He is the one who can make everything seem okay for me. He makes me happy. And believe me when I say it's hard to make me happy and keep me happy. But everyday, Sonnie would. Little things, like saying hi beh ko in his own special way makes me happy. But things like me missing his birthday for three consecutive years and not hating me for it, just makes me feel so blessed. He is probably the most understanding person one could meet. And I'm probably the luckiest because he married me.

On our wedding day, there are not so many things I remember. Everything was a blur. It went by so fast. But there's one funny thing that would always make me pissed and laugh at the same time. After the wedding, when we got to to our suite, I went to the bathroom to take off my wedding dress and change. I was taking my sweet time, I changed into a cute little dress. I was imagining him waiting for me in anticipation. I opened the door and was shocked with what I saw! He opened all the envelopes with all the monetary gifts, and he aligned all the money on the bed! Without even checking who gave them! He just opened each one of the envelopes and took the money! And his smile was from ear to ear. AAAAAAArghhh! We dont know who gave how much. And i was pissed and he was just laughing. I thought he was waiting for me for our honeymoon, and he was ripping envelopes with excitement the whole time! hahaha, still makes me laugh to this day. Oh i love him.

Ther are just so many things that I love about him. And just about as much that I hate =) But he is the one for me, the crazy me, the stupid me, the lazy me, the grumpy me, the evil me, the nice me, the crappy me, the shitty me, ALL OF ME.

And everyday, I thank the Lord that He gave me Sonnie, because it's one of many proofs that He loves me. =)

I WILL LOVE YOU BEH EVEN IF YOU LOOK LIKE THIS, IN 20 YEARS HAHAHHAHAHA!



AND I HOPE YOU LOVE ME STILL WHEN IN 20 YEARS I LOOK LIKE THIS! =)
