Hongkong Disneyland Pix III

Classic entrance view pic. :) Then I exerted lotsa efforts just to have pix with these cutie pies -- Donald, Chip and Dale, Tigger and Winnie the Pooh. Tigger is my favorite. :) And below are the unforgettable rides, Space Traders, roller coaster with lotsa loops and exciting enough heights, though the catch here is since it's indoor, its outer space design made it breath taking. Jungle Rive Cruise, the robot jungle animals are really fantastic! But I like Mikey's PhilharMagic the most, it's a 3D adventure, that's why I was wearing those yellow eyeglasses there! Hip! :) And of course how can I forget the shops at Disney? Though I didn't shop a lot, it's enough for me to look at the stuffed toys, masaya na ko nun ;-)

Hongkong Disneyland Pix II

This picture was like the best ad for the pasan ko ang daigdig movie of Ate Shawie. ;) Below were Disney parade pix, Little Mermaid and Mickey / Minnie / Pluto / Goofy's floats and the green soldiers of Buzz Lightyear. :)

Hongkong Disneyland Pix

First batch of our HK Disneyland trip. Lotsa pix to be posted next time. I'm still doing some photo stitching so I can post more pix. :)

This is one of my favorite pic, my dream car (Ferrari red is also a fave color of moih) when I was young. ;) And at the bottom were some pix with Disney mascots, Mickey Mouse and Buzz Lightyear, then 2nd pic was in a souvenir shop, I didn't buy the wizard hut, only for picture-taking purposes. :) And the last pic was Buzz Lightyear's float during the Wonderful World of Disney Parade.

I Feel So Tired...

I wasn't able to get to work. Worse was, there was an 8AM meeting with our Big Boss. Though ignorance is not an excuse, I still used the "I didn't know there was a meeting" statement. In which, I was just being honest, I didn't bring my Globe phone in Hong Kong, I was informed through my Globe line about the meeting last Friday when I was already in HK. I just brought my Smart phone since most of my clients are using Smart lines.

Anyway, bottomline is, I had some sort of slight irresponsible actions today. I should've informed the office that I won't be able to make it this morning. But I really wasn't feeling well, maybe because we arrived at the NAIA around past 11PM, last flight, last night. Plus when I was in HK, all I did was to roam around and shop, shop till I drop. :) Sore feet after each day. And humabol pa talaga, last minute roaming and window shop (wala na nabili, exhausted pocket hehehe) before we were picked up from our hotel.

And so I felt soooo tired when I got to Manila, up to now. But I need to go to work later, aaaarggggh. Ok Sheng, get up, back to work.

I'll post pix as soon as I uploaded them in my notebook. I ran out of memory cards and battery, pic addict on the loose. :)

Oooops and lastly, happy special day, DM! *hugzzzz*

Trio

We just had an early dinner last night at Trio at The Fort Strip. Trio is a very memorable place for us, it's where we agreed to bring our friendship to a more complicated and yet a lot wonderful level. ;) Anyway, the food was great, as always. I really love their 5-cheese pizza with a super thin crust, yummy! :) And the place is good, overlooking the tiangge at Fort. ;) Most of all, I was with a great guy and I'm looking forward to be with this great guy for the rest of my life. **mushy me (excuse me for this Valentines hangover)** :)

Hairy Heart

I wonder how his girl would feel when she sees this, awwwwwkk! :) Anyway, since today is love day, I hope these Valentines messages will make you smile. :)

-- I wanted to make it really special on Valentine's day, so I tied my boyfriend up. And for three solid hours I watched whatever I wanted on TV. (what are you guys thinking huh?) :)
- Tracy Smith

-- If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?
- Anonymous

-- Love is the thing that enables a woman to sing while she mops up the floor after her husband has walked across it in his barn boots. (or dirty basketball shoes, slippers) :)
- Hoosier Farmer

HAPPY HEARTS' DAY, everyone! :) Muah!

Sabado Night

It's been a long time since I went out for a gimmick on a Saturday night. And yeah, I just realized I haven't been going to bars lately, and why should I? :) Nah, I'm just kidding, it feels great to feel young again. :) I went out on a double date, of course I'm with Mike, and we were with my long-time friend Regie and his guy, Dave. Since Dave is an American and he just came here in Pinas to visit my friend, aaawww sweeeeet.. :) we decided to go out and have fun, few vodkas and beer, from Tavern to Temple bar at Greenbelt, a bit (really?!?) of dancing and that's it. Bigtime fun!

I'll just post the pix as soon as I get 'em from Regie who's now in Bali with her guy for their Valentine's getaway. Atta date! :)

I'll soon have mine, post-Valentine treat from Mr. Valentino himself. *wink*

A Soulful Relationship

I was just checking my old mails, deleting some junk and re-reading interesting messages when I came across this forwarded email from my friend Dheng. Since I appreciated the message, I would want to share it with my readers. :)

A pre-Valentine's post.

A Soulful Relationship
by Rev. Ronald McFadden

If you're not married yet, share this with a friend. If you are married, share it with your spouse or other married couples and reflect on it. An African proverb states, "Before you get married, keep both eyes open, and after you marry, close one eye."

Before you get involved and make a commitment to someone, don't let lust, desperation, immaturity, ignorance, pressure from others or a low self-esteem, make you blind to warning signs. Keep your eyes open, and don't fool yourself that you can change someone or that what you see as faults aren't really important.

Once you decide to commit to someone, over time his or her flaws, vulnerabilities, pet peeves, and differences will become more obvious. If you love your mate and want the relationship to grow and evolve, you've got to learn to close one eye and not let every little thing bother you. You and your mate have many different expectations, emotional needs, values, dreams, weaknesses, and strengths. You are two unique individual children of God who have decided to share a life together.

Neither of you are perfect, but are you perfect for each other? Do you bring out the best in each other? Do you compliment and compromise with each other, or do you compete, compare, and control? What do you bring to the relationship? Do you bring past relationships, past hurt, past mistrust, past pain? You can't take someone to the altar to alter him or her. You can't make someone love you or make someone stay. If you develop self-esteem, spiritual discernment, and "a life", you won't find yourself making someone else responsible for your happiness or responsible for your pain.

Manipulation, control, jealousy, neediness, and selfishness are not the ingredients of a thriving, healthy, loving and lasting relationship. Seeking status, sex, wealth, and security are the wrong reasons to be in a relationship. What keeps a relationship strong?

Communication, intimacy, trust, a sense of humor, sharing household tasks, some getaway time without business or children and daily exchanges (a meal, shared activity, a hug, a call, a touch, a note). Leave a nice message on their voicemail or send a nice email. Sharing common goals and interests.

Growth is important. Grow together, not away from each other, giving each other space to grow without feeling insecure. Allow your mate to have outside interest. You can't always be together. Give each other a sense of belonging and assurances of commitment. Don't try to control one another. Learn each other's family situation. Respect his or her parents regardless. Don't put pressure on each other for material goods. Remember for richer or for poorer. If these qualities are missing, the relationship will erode as resentment, withdrawal, abuse, neglect, dishonesty, and pain replace the passion.

The difference between 'United' and 'Untied' is where you put the i.
