Lady in Red

A lady in red with the curves in the right places approached me to check out her room. She has 3 kids with her and I was wondering because one of them looks Chinese about 3 and half year old. Then the other 2 young boys looks Asian too but I don't know what nationality. Then the lady in red red my name tag then she said, " Oh Look where she is from." The kids answered in chorus " Philippines! " I smiled and answered " Yes I'm from the Pearl of the Orient Seas."

Then the lady in red said "Their next brother is from the Philippines." I feel the goosebumps from my legs up to my wrist. I don't know if my smile fades or what. But I'm sure I'm happy for whoever the child they are going to adopt. She told me that it will take 2 years before they can get him and she is so excited to have another baby. I found out that the 2 young boy that looks Asian are from Guatemala and the other child is from China.

I wish her luck and hopefully they will be happier when the Filipino child arrives.

Super Vip

This morning I started my shift in my new resort. I'm deployed to "New Zealand" :-) Kidding. I'm actually in a nice resort name Old Key West. So I got another custume and I drove my husband's truck. It was obviously bigger and taller than the car and since I was lost going to the costuming center, I have to make a Uturn in a tiny road so car at my back have to wait for the Queen of the road finish her u-turn :-)

Anyways I started my day with smile still on my face and my sort of a first guest is family from Austria. They are what we call here the Super VIP. Meaning big people from royal family. Extra care for these people. Unfortunately the room was not ready. They have to wait 4 hours since somebody is painting the room. I saw people freaking out because they can't get the best room in the hotel and they will be shouting on your face saying they are paying top dollar and can't get what they want.

So I expect for the super vip guest to freak out. They travel thousand miles and probably are tired. When we told them that the room won't be ready until 4 and it was only 12 noon, I can't believe their answer. "Okay that is fine we will just look around and come back at 4" and off they go.

I was like "Amazing people". They have 3 cute kids with them and a nanny. Very humble and simple but of course you can see their status by merely looking their inborn elegance in their little gestures.

Real billionnares and millionnares some of them are just cool. That is probably one of the reasons why they become richer and richer since Papa Jesus loves nice people.

So let us be nice and maybe fate will also be nice to us :-)

Chaotic Life

Every time I get in a restaurant some people can't help to stare at me. There are only reasons: 1 is maybe they found me extraordinarily ugly or devilishly pretty 2: or because my husband is older than me. I think the latter is best bet.

Now I'm reading showbiz news, Famous women in the Philippines like Ruffa Gutierrez, Aiko Melendez, Gretchen Barretto and so many more. They have everything errr ALMOST everything. Brain, money and of course beauty. But not so lucky when it comes to their love life. Now one of my used to be friend just found out her hubby is playing with fire.

I've been there. Young men trying to be extra nice, texting you sweet nothings and copying love messages from wherever and sent you a love letter whose wording or should I say lyrics came from a song. (It really happened to me. One of my suitors sent me a loveletter and I was so touched the way he expressed his feelings then a week later I went to my uncle's hauz who have this stacks of little magazine with songs in it, then I found the song that my suitor copied! ) Ilad ko dah! :-)

I probably have 4 serious relationship before I met my husband. One of them is a year younger than me, one is 7 years older than me and the other 2 were almost the same age as me. All of the reasons of our break-up was third party in their sides.

Then I saw some of my friends and cousins married to men same age as them, it just don't work out well. After 1 month of being married they are saying cursing each other already. In addition, celebrities internationally & locally expose their marriage failure in the media so I cam to a conclusion, why waste my time to those undeserving men?

Ruffa has a beauty that can twist your neck and a brain above average but why her strange husband hurt her?

Maybe I'm being selfish. Since I made sure that third party will never happen to me.

They said with men same age as you are, life is very challenging and sex is amazing.

It is true but who needs amazing sex everyday? Some. Maybe...

But when this men same age as their women make a slight turned life will indeed challenging in trying to bring back your man. Sex won't be as amazing as it used to.

I'm not discouraging women in marrying young men but I am encouraging them to find men who are brave enough to kick out temptation.

If you have a face than can stop traffic and body that can kill bugs and your man left you for a killer face, something is wrong with that man. Put tons of his chili in his coffee! bow! Afterall life is chaotic.

I Love the cook

Hubby cooked another recipe today. Sinampalokang taro. Sort of Filipino food but I'm not into soup. Even when I was still in the Philippines food with a lot of soup is not really my favorite. I like inun-unan or ginataan and tinola but I don't higup soup much.

I can really see his effort to make me happy in eating my food everyday. However my tongue is really use of burned food. His calabasa with balatong is superb though. I just feel guilty if I don't eat some of the food he cooks. He made letsong manok ( my friends like it) but I don't like it. My husband is an excellent cook. Most of his friends loves his cooking. Ironic that the wife doesn't like most of what he cooks.

Saying "I Love it" even if I don't is lying and pretending. But if you lie and pretend about the taste of the food it is like a hunger strike.

To you my hubby, I'm sorry when it comes to food I am very choosy. My parents do have the same sentiments when I was still in the Philippines. I don't what it is on me. Sometimes I just want to go to a corner and shout and cry. I feel bad making you feel bad by not appreciating your cooking. But as what I've said I can't pretend I like it. I'm so sorry...

If I don't love most of your cooking, please be aware I love the cook more than I love eating!

The most talkative woman...

I met her again today. Who? The most talkative woman that I've ever met so far in my life. I though I'm very talkative. 3 hours is my minimum talking to my friends on the phone but my word I'm not even one-fourth of this woman's talent in talking.

She is really a very nice lady. One cold winter she offered me a ride to the cast member parking lot. (she has a privilege park pass for she broke some bones in her feet so she is not capable of walking long distance)

Around 1 a.m in the morning we finished our shifts. I was running after I clock out since I'm freezing and I just wanna snuggle with my hubby. She yelled at me, "Hey young lady, you crazy! It is freezing here you'll gonna walk to the parking lot? " I stop and looked who called me crazy. She was smiling at me and catch with me.

"The weather is also crazy. I park in the privilege parking so come with me I'll take you to the cast parking." I just smiled and walked with her. I can walk our employee's parking lot for 5 minutes but since she offered me a ride I was oblige. The ride was longer than I thought.

I was so surprised with her car. Oh boy it is messier than mine from outside to inside. She drop everything on the floor and told me to sit and never mind the mess. Then we drove. Since the moment she catch up with me until we found my husband car ( It took us 20 minutes because she drove so slow and talk so fast and believe me a lot too! )

Her car have scotch tape and from the rear view mirrors to the windows and also on the seat. Food, dress was everywhere. Thanks goodness it was cold and I have a cold so my sense of smell was not sensitive, I did not smell anything at all.

Nonetheless I appreciated her offer for driving me in the parking lot though I would prefer to walk their in 5 minutes than ride and I was so eager to be home.

In my 20 minutes I learned her life's story, ambitions and some secrets with workmates I have not known yet during those months. I was only 2 months old in my job.

The moral it imparted to me was: IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT CAR YOU DROVE, WHAT MATTERS IS HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU LET IN AND DROVE THEM IN THEIR DESTINATION.

Today I met her again. Her shift starts at 8pm up to morning and she is still as talkative as the last few months ago. She was a woman that talk to anyone and to anything. From our printer to her pen,bulletin board, computer name it and she'll talk to them :-)

I love her though and she just made me and some workmates smiled. She is not crazy. Because you can't work as Night Operation Supervisor if your crazy :-) She told me that she got one of her dreams now, she just bought a new Toyota Prius. Save her a lot of gas and express. it is bluer than sky and shinier than my smile.

Isn't that sweet? She compare my smile to her new car. I was curious to see the car and oh gurlz her description was correct. Though I don't think my smile is any shiner than aher new blue car.

Where is my Logic?

I was looking at my transcript of records and one of my worst grade was my Logic class. My husband said it is understandable probably because I don't have logic. Hahahaha! That is right. Heart doesn't have logic. I don't use my mind in so many ways I use heart instead. And heart has its own logic.

In all honesty during my college days I was not in my best world. I was sick for almost a year to the extent that some of the concern people around me suggested that I should stop college until I recover my health. My mind and body agree but not my heart. We have the CWTS class. The same with ROTC but because I'm sickly I have to do CWTS. We don't do a lot of physical stuff most of the time we only have a class every Saturday from 7a.m to 12 noon. It was on gym and we have to sit down for 5 hours in a bench and there is no recess.The teacher still picked me as the group leader and I probably have more absent than present.

I don't learn much inside the classroom but my learning base on experience was actually quiet much. Out of logic's league but I'll stand for it. To those who disagree kiss my behind :-) Kidding! :-)

Beef Jerky

We went to Disney last week and my friend Rowena brought so many snackies one of them is beef jerky. When her husband offered me some and I said no thanks. Because I look at it as raw thin slice of beef put under the sun and I was thinking about the flies. Then I saw my husband eating a handful of it.

Out of curiosity I asked my husband to give me just a teeny tiny bit and I wrinkled my nose when he gave me a quarter size bit of beef jerky. When I started chewing it, I was like "oh my gudnez do U have more' throughout the day I've eaten the beef jerky and so today I bought one and I have not eaten a rice yet today just a beef jerky and Hawaiian bread. Seems make me full though.

All time movies (my favs)

Of all the times I've been to the theaters here in the US there are only 2 movies that line was so long. One is the recent Harry Potter and second is Mama Mia. I'm not a big fan of horror and action movies though I watch them occasionally but anything that I think is funny, I won't really mind spending my one & only 20 bucks in my purse for ticket and popcorn (hubby buy me those most of the time ;-) just to watch those kind of movie and I watch them again.

Every time I like a movie, I CAN NOT FORGET their title and lead stars. If there is an exam to have me name 50 movie titles I can probably only name 10 :-) But movies that makes me laugh hard was Night at the Museum, Dan in Real Life and Mama Mia!

Titles mentioned above are my all time favorites then in addition to that not so long of a list are Roxanne, & Bodyguard from Beijing . These movies are my movies for all season. But I'm not an all season fan.

THanks Ivy & Lotis

Daghan jud kaayong salamat ninyong duha. Kamu ra jd nka-agwanta sa akong kakulit ;-) I was really desperate to do this blogging thing And I was really jumping up and down when I got the email confirmation. However until now I did not get or should I say grab any posts yet :-(

Hopefully I'll get one soon...

Different Preferences

Just arrive from work and I'm glad that the traffic was good if not I'm still driving now. I was listening to some of Imelda Papin's songs. A bit corny for others but I do love it and my sister used to say 'corniks & makes her sleepy' it did an opposite magic to me. It means only that even you grow up in the same womb your preferences could be very different.

Good Nitey guys. Hugz!
