The Sad & Happy Week That Was
November 23, 2009November is that time of the year that I get saddest the most. My favorite holiday has just ended (Halloween), Mama’s death anniversary and birthday are lurking in the corner (Peter’s mom), capitalism is at its finest in preparation for the Christmas season and it’s just simply the aligning of my stars and planets that have got my emotions in whack. I’m keeping them at bay, don’t you worry. And I’m not going to dig deeper into that. It’s just that as far as I can remember, the advent season (November-December) has always brought me mixed emotions since I was a child. Christmas makes me happy but it makes me so sad too. It didn’t help that Peter was away for the Ad Congress last week (Nov.18-21). I know I should be used to him not being around all the time, but it’s much more difficult when I’m the one left at home and I know he’s in a different region all together. It made me feel even more sad knowing that for the first time, I was lonely. It’s funny, I used to gloat how good I am at being a loner, heck I even told my friends I’d be happy too if I was single. But seeing how I was paralyzed that week got me thinking… all of my other friends who are single are so brave… they must be superhumans! Or maybe, they just don’t know what they’re missing and so they are better at being alone and lonely. As for me, it made me feel sick that I couldn’t even log in for work. I ended up finishing Paolo Coelho’s THE WINNER STANDS ALONE and Dennis Hambright’s MERCENERAY INTENT. I was missing Peter a whole lot. But at the same time, I was happy for him. He’s in his own element and he was having an amazing time. It’s enough that tells me he missed me too and couldn’t wait to go home. As long as I knew he was safe, he was learning a lot and he was meeting all sorts of people (including hot agency girls and even one who unknowingly showed her nipples to my Baboo), I was okay with it all. He has become the man that I knew he’d always be and more!
So anyway, when he got home late last Saturday night, I just finished watching THIS IS IT (again) and I was in the middle of singing I MISS YOU by Klymaxx on videoke. I was half tipsy (I made myself some cocktails) and I was excited knowing that he’s on his way home. Then there he was! The moment I hugged him tight and kissed him on the lips, I knew I was safe… I was happy again! Yipee! I missed my Baboo soooo much!
Then I started noticing everything else. Man, he brought home two of the biggest loot bags I’ve seen in my entire life! There were all sorts of products, mementos and trinkets. Coolness! Then he showed me photos of the Ad Congress, including some hot girls and celebrities he’d met. Ooohhlalah! I was just glad he’s safely home. Our wonderful weekend can then start.
I knew he was tired from the trip so we just lounged at home, sang some more songs and watched DVD. I couldn’t even remember now what movie we watched. I was just feeling happy and content snuggled next to him, kissing him every few seconds and feeling his body next to mine. I was in Baboo Heaven. ^_^
We woke up late Sunday morning (before noon time) and I think you can guess what happened next. Teehee. We discovered a new position… we call it the standing doggie… we’ve never seen it in any adult flicks before so it must be unique to us. I love it coz my sexiness shows in all its naked glory and Peter loves it so much! Teehee. ^_^
The rest of our weekend was spent on a date… a married couple kind of date that is. We ran a few errands, did some shopping (I bought new clothes at YRYS and 248… they always seem to have what I like; Peter bought new black leather shoes at Mendrez), had late lunch at Cabalen in Festival Mall (Peter loves their eat all you can Merienda. I looove their goto, dinuguan and turon), window shopped for a chair and umbrella set for our balcony (unfortunately, they don’t have the color we want) and did some groceries (I’m excited to cook some pesto pasta and grill some rosemary chicken after this post). Afterwards, we dropped off some stuff at home and proceeded to Ruins. We bought tons of DVD. Our “suking Muslim tindera” was oh so happy. Hehehe.
When we got home, before I prepared some grilled rib eye steak, toasted bread and veggie salad for dinner, I sliced a piece of expensive fruit called RED PLUM and shared it with Peter. It was the first time I tasted such fruit. It was like Duhat without the sappy taste, like Peach without the grainy texture, like Apple without the sweetness. It tasted just right. Anyway, I always eat fruits before having a real meal. We both learned a while back that eating fruits with an empty stomach helps in digestion, makes one slim down naturally and is good for overall health. And it’s true! Even after I eat tons of food, my tummy is still not as bloated and easily flattens unlike before. Of course, it tremendously helps that I also drink Vita Plus after having fruits in the morning. ^_^
By the time our dinner was ready, minutes have already passed which is the best time to eat a complete meal after having fruits. Then we watched 2012. And OH MY GOD! This is the most realistic disaster flick I’ve ever seen. Though the story line is not as gripping as THE CORE or ARMAGEDDON, the possibility is so real that it really got me pretty worried. I wanna die quietly in my sleep… Not banged by some huge tidal wave or crushed in an earthquake! Oh Lord!
Our weekend ended at around 1 am. Peter had to do an all nighter for work and I cleaned up the house. I wasn’t sleepy yet so I went up and started watching this MICHAEL JACKSON DVD SET I got earlier. It contains all of MJ’s mini movies, music videos and concerts. I watched them all until I fell asleep (I still can’t get over the fact that he’s gone… I still cry every time I think about it).
I woke up with Peter by my side early this morning. We spent a little more time just curled up and snuggled in bed until I fell asleep again. Then he had to get readyfor work. We chatted just a while ago over YM and he said he'’ll be home tonight. Yay! I can’t wait! I want to watch 500 Days of Summer with him. ^_^
And that was the week/weekend I had. How about you?
I’ll continue with may travel series (Cagbalete and Singapore) on my upcoming posts. ^_^
Michael Jackson’s This is It!
September 14, 2009I stopped crying for Michael Jackson for a while now. I figured that after everything that he went through, he’s now in a much better place… right next to God… together with His angels and saints. But when my long time friend Jojay posted this video on facebook, tears flooded my eyes again. I just miss him and I feel the loss of the billions of people who ache for him as well.
Through Michael’s life, I am reminded that life is so short and precious. We are only given this one chance to make a difference somehow. Michael was very blessed to have that one unique talent and charisma that can never be paralleled in this lifetime. But maybe, just ,maybe, in our own little ways, we can make a difference too.
In my own recent life, ever since his death last June 25 (my husband’s birthday at that), he inspired me (and continues to do so) to go on with the things I do. I’m only human and sometimes I do get down and weak too. But every time I think of Michael and the impact he has done on the lives of many people, I get a surge of energy to just keep on going. He is actually one of the greatest inspirations why I am doing Vita Plus. It may not be through music but like him, in my own way, thru my own God-given talents, I want to bring blessings and hope to other people too by offering them a concrete chance to better health and and better lives.
Yes, once in a while, we still do eat junkfood. Thankfully, with Vita Plus juice drink, our good health and desired weight are maintained and we don’t feel as bloated and sluggish after eating so much chips, chocoalates, ice cream , choco chip cookies and drinking lots of cocktails and rootbeer. I even lost a pound when I woke up the next day. ^_^
So cheers to Michael Jackson and the inspiration he has brought to my life! I can’t wait to watch your movie on October 28!

How I wish today’s reality is only a movie… then perhaps Michael would still be alive…
…Michael would still be performing and making millions of his fans happy with his music….
Unfortunately, this is all so very real and I couldn’t help but feel the tremendous loss our entertainment world has ever experienced…
We’ll all move on from this. I’ll be ok. Thank you, Michael. Thank you for sharing with us your gift all these years.
I LOVE YOU Michael.You’ll always be here in my heart…Rest in peace…

This just makes his death more sad… I am more saddened by this. Was it really his time to leave the world?
Still Mourning the Death of Michael Jackson, the Undisputed King of Pop
June 27, 2009It’s Saturday morning. In a few hours, my hubby and I are scheduled to go to Batangas to celebrate his birthday. I’ve already packed my clothes, cleaned the house, brewed some coffee and toasted some bread for breakfast. I figured it was still too early to wake Peter up. So I sat on my massage rocking chair and watched CNN. I just wanted to know the developments on the death of my ultimate idol, the undisputed King of Pop, Michael Jackson. I was intently listening to what the newscaster was saying when so suddenly, I again couldn’t control the sudden surge of emotion I was feeling. I wept… I wept like a little child. I rarely cry these days. So it was a mighty phenomenon for me to be experiencing so much emotional pain inside that I needed to let it all out. I decided to video myself too coz those were precious tears I was shedding. I just want the world to know that I am extremely sad over the death of Michael Jackson, the performer. I respected him as a private person but I loved him more as an artist. And I am just so sad that the world will never see him make new music nor perform again. I love you Michael. We all do. And your memory will live on forever.
Here, the little beauty, poise and charm I think I have all flew out of the window. I didn’t care… I still don’t. I am so devastated… and I don’t know when I’ll recover.
Goodbye Michael Jackson…
June 26, 2009I was shocked, confused and totally heartbroken the first time I heard of the news early this morning c/o Chris on Plurk. I immediately turned on the TV and looked for any news about Michael Jackson until I tuned into CNN. At that time, around 6 a.m., CNN has not yet confirmed his death. But now, 9:00 a.m., it’s been confirmed, he has died of cardiac arrest.
Michael Jackson will be truly missed. He has been my idol all my life. I was already listening to his music together with that of Madonna since the age of five. He was an extraordinary person, artist and performer and there is no one like him in this world and in this lifetime. I am at a loss for words and so is the rest of the world. We love you, Michael. We hope you are happy and at peace wherever you are. You will remain alive in our hearts for all time.
Here’s my most favorite of his songs. The first time I saw him here, that was when I first “romantically” fell in love with him. He was so gorgeous here and how I hoped he never had to change his color and his looks. But I loved him still no matter what.Goodbye Michael. We will always love you.
