WHEN THET SPEAKS: Unbounded.Uncensored.Unsuppressed.No Rules.No Non-Sense.

My youngest brother is off for Malaysia today. He will be there for their annual company conference. Such a lucky guy. He hasn't been in the company for a year and yet, they sent him to attend the said conference. He willbe back on Monday. For the mean, I'm staying in our house (Q.C.) to accompany my parents.

We already met Maribeth of Chocolate Confections and we have already agreed on how the packaging will looked like. When Mama Luvie arrived home, she told us that she was thinking of getting the sponsors some edible souvenirs (just like what we are thinking). I think she became a little sad over the fact that it's the first time that she suggested something and na-declined pa. She didn't say anything but Russell and I know that she kind of got hurt so what Russell did was to enter his parent's room and made lambing to his mom. I, onn the other hand, tried to console Mama Luvie by telling Russell to convince her that we could still give our sponsors the souvenir that she was thinking but of course, mas maliit na lang since we still have the initial souvenier to be given out.

Mama Luvie is too nice to get disappointed and we're hoping that tehse gestures wil somehow make her feel good again.

Papa is a retired mining and geodetic engineer. He used to be a director for operations for a mining and logging company operating in the Sierra Madre Region and Aurora Province. That's why he only comes home once every quarter.

One of his stories- During the 80'she was once captured by the NPA group because they were seen "surveilling" the NPA territory with all the gadgets like compass, binoculars and other gadgets as if they were military men. They were captured by the group of Father Balweg, (if that name rings a bell to you) but after 48 hours and confirming that they were just part of a logging and mining firm, they were freed. Papa didn't tell us about it especially to Mama who might suffer a heart attack. He only revealed it to us when he retired about 12 years ago when he saw a nikon binoculars magazine that my sister brought home when she was in Japan. We didn't know that he had kept a picture of him and Father Balweg in his wallet and up until this time, he can't forget that experience. I guess that what made him to be sympathetic to the NPA's advocacy. Stockholm syndrome? I don't know. All I know is that I share some of the NPA's idealism but definitely communism.

Friday, October 12. Aside from the fact that it's a holiday, this day is just an ordinary day for me. As usual, I came to work with no make-up; just tied my long hair; wore at-shirt and faded jeans and my ever realible tsinelas na pambahay . LOL While I was swamped with work with side-chatting err bullying my QASs, our lovable security officer, Mang Jolly, approached me, saying that a certain "Ton-Ton" is outside and he wants to talk to me. Dang! My heart was beating so fast. Ton-ton is my brother and the fact that he hasn't visited me in the office in the entire 2 years tells me that something went wrong at home. From a bully face, my face turned into a poker face- something that got my QASs made worried as well. As I stepped outside the 4th floor, I see nobody. I told myself, maybe he is in the lobby so I'm just gonna go downstairs. A few steps before I headed to the elevator, "something" tells me that "somebody" is watching me. There I saw Russell. But wait! Isn't this image just an apparition?! Russell is supposed to be home on Sunday, not on Friday. I froze for like 5 seconds and then, the apparition was walking towards me! Oh God, is this really Russell?! When he smiled, that's the only time I recovered. Immediately, he hugged me but instead of embracing him back, I gave him a powerful right job. Apparently, he arrived 9:30 Friday morning. Hahahahahaha! Tantado ito! Kala ko, multo na nakita ko! Alright, setting being bully aside, after giving him a tight job ala Manny Pacquiao, I hugged and kissed him and asked him to go with me on my desk. A few steps before we reached our work area, I noticed that most of my QAS were standing, as if they are waiting to see what's gonna happen. When they saw me with a man, they instantly knew that "That is Russell!" Why not?! I have Russell's picture in my desk. Anyway, when Olive and James teased me, I blushed. As in really blushed. Eh gatong pa ang mga bakla by saying that we're like Kim Chiu and Gerald A. Somebody even sang Kim Chiu's Crazy Love (?) Naku, patay kang bata ka! Riot na ito. "Hoy, magtrabaho kayo kung di i-issuehan ko kayo ng work avoidance!" LOL

What I really felt were mixed emotions. I was happy and surprised because I didn't expect that a predictable man to do something unpredictable like this. On the other, I was disappointed with myself because I didn't really get my self to really dress up and look more presentable in Russell's eyes. Sayang ang plan naming mga bakla. We were supposed to go to the gym and they will accompany me in a salon where I could have my hair dyed and trim. After that, we were also planning to go Glorietta so that Josh and I could buy some MAC make up products para naman di mukhang haggard ang fez ni atashi. All those plans vanished! Ay sus me! Russell saw me without lip gloss! Ewwwww!!! Anyhow, after finalizing some documents needed for our new payroll system, I immediately had a break. We went to Metrowalk with no specific bar/resto to go to. At the parking lot, I was about to step out of the car when Russell stopped me. Dun daw muna kami sa loob ng kotse. Aba, 'tong manyakis na to. Magtigil ka, hindi mo kotse tong dala mo at hindi tinted ng windows. LMAO We stayed in the car for about 10 minutes with so little words uttered. Ala lang... tamang serenity and cherishing the moment. Ok, fine I admit. We kissed. We kissed like hell. Ikaw ba naman ang di makatikim ng kiss for 19 months eh ewan ko na lang. Parang gusto kong maging Tina Paner at kumanta ng "Tamis ng Unang Halik" hehehehehe!

Anyway, we went to Oyster boy. We had some baked oysters and a bottle of ice cold San Mig Light. Earlier that day, I didn't plan to go on half day but after finishing my San Mig bottle, I think uuwi na kami. hihihihihihi. I really wanted to go home as early as 11pm but since we're gonna have a farewell dinner for Iris (and that needs a separate entry), we have no other choice but to join the team.

So there, we went to his home in Cavite at around 2:30 am na. But I think I slept at around 4am pa. Usually, if I am tired, I would doze off so easily. But how can I sleep when someone right beside me is snoring like hell?! LOL Good thing that that we don't have any itinerary for Saturday morning so I can sleep all day that I want. At around 1pm, Russ told me that his mom called him and said that we're off to Tagaytay for dinner. We immediately prepped ourselves and headed to Caltex where we were supposed to meet. We were expecting that we're gonna man the cashier area pero since 2 naman yung present na assitants, dun na lang kami sa sulok na table. For some reason, Mama Luvie got stacked in her rotary meeting. To kill boredom, we ate some squash seeds and fool around with Russell's new DSLR.





It was around 4:30 when Mama Luvie and Daddy Ramir came back from their meeting so instead of going to Tagaytay, we ended up going to Dampa Roxas-Seaside Market. I have been to this place a lot of times already though I haven't done the marketing yet so when we joined Mama Luvie as she does the pamamalengke, we really had a great time. I didn't know that even crabs have BAKLA. And take note mga tsufateed, mas mahal ang baklang alimango kesa sa babae huh... tarush noh!

We really did have a great time especially humabol ang brother in-law ni Russell na si Ronnel. It was like one big happy family. :)

We took home 3 kilos of lanzones and 2 kilos of mangosteen and 2 DVDs. It was around 9:30 when we finally went home. I was pretty exhausted miski wala naman mshadong ginawa so I unknowingly napped for about 15 mins. Russell grabbed this opportunity naman to fix the wireless router connection for his sister and all the notebooks they have at home. When I woke up and saw that Russell is not in the room, I decided to watch Chuck and Larry on my own. Siguro sa sobrang pagod talaga, I never get to finish the flick and dozed off at around 12 na.



The following day, we started the day with a mass. Girlie was not there as she attended her Sunday-AutoCad course in Informatics. We planned to attend the Rockwell Bridal Fair but due to the limited time that we have, we just went to Gateway where I bought Russell a few boxer shorts and 10 blank CD-RWs. We also went to Farmer's Dampa and had some food that we brought home. Russell and my parents had some nice conversation over dinner. My nephew, Kenneth, really showed his Tito Russell how kulit he is now. Bebeh also saw my niece, Akane for the first time. Right before Russell left, we saw one of our Ninang to-be, Ninang Puring outside our house while having their usual nigh time chismisan session with my mudrax. XD


HayyyY the past 2 days have been tiring for me. Tiring but filled with happiness. I'm gonna be inactive again as the next few days will be dedicated to more extensive wedding preparation activities. :)

This is where iConnectHere Internet Phone sets apart among all other VoIP providers. On top of that, iConnect also offers a 30 Bonus for all new sign ups and with a full feature packed service that includes call waiting, caller id, call forwarding, emergency 911. Isn't this an outrageous deal?

Aunt Susan had her last visit in the Philippines.I suddenly felt guilty because funeral is supposed to be a sad reason for family members to get together. But I felt exactly different when I finally met my long lost cousins and the elders of the Uy clan. It was a very awkward thing for me to discuss my upcoming wedding (something that I never intended to discuss) but since the immediate family members of my late Aunt Nida didn't mind talking about it, I got pretty excited as well. Pops, youngest sibling, Aunt Melvin, will be one of our sponsors together with her husband, Uncle Sammy. All of my Pops relatives who were there promised their presence on my wedding, even those who are living out-of-town. My Aunt who is in San Diego has a VOIP system. It was great that she had it just in time when Aunt Nida passed away as she got the chanc to talk with the rest of her sibling for hours, trying to comfort each other. Oh well, I guess that's life.

It feels weird that now that wedding is fast approaching, it seems my brother and I become closer. I mean, we have a 4-year age gap and since we have different genders, our preference on most things differ. Thus, it is sometimes hard for us to talk about some things simply because we have limited "common denominators."

Since bro is now a follower of my blog (LOL), he read that I have written about the "pretty-decent-girl-neighbor". So today, he told me "te, graduate na si "G" and girlfriend ko na yun eh!"

LMAO kaya pala! The other night, Momcy told me na inabot na ng gabi si G and ung ibang tropa nila sa haws sa paglalaro ng Wii.

Now that "G" is already a part of the family, I am thinking of whether to include her in our entourage list of not (Oneof Russ, cousin won't be able to make it kaya kulang na naman ang entourage list). While I find it cute na sila ang mag partner, most people say that it's "malas" daw... ano akya sa tingin mo?!

We used to have an clean and organize garage storage room. Well, that was before. When my elder sister moved back to the Philippines together with my nephew, we have to convert our garage storage into his "OWN" storage room for his toys. Our cars are now being parked in front of our house. Ahhhh! I was even teasing my sister that with all those toys that my nephew has, she needs to have at least 25 square meter lot so that all those toys can be accommodated. Otherwise, it is going to be chaos knowing how disorganized my nephew is. We only have a DIY cabinet so how I wish that we have something that is professionally made so that more space will be available. I also do have a lot of stuff in my room that needs to be "parked." The only problem is that there is no more space in our storage garage.

Well, I guess my "agony" for the message garage storage will soon be over as they are going to move back again in Yokohama. Ate and Kuya finally decided that they will just send my nephew in an international school. I guess they can no longer bear the feeling of being separated. Oh well, I' sure that Mama and Papa will be sad as much as I do. They promised though that they will visit us twice a year; holiday season and Mama's birthday every July. With that, Popcy is now busy getting some quotes from some suppliers who can provide us metal garage cabinets.
