to each his own

 

this guy is like Adonis.

if you look at his face, i think you will fall inlove every minute of every day

how come he fall short of his being so guapo?

if the rumor is true he is so sayang

not anybody's  luck.

let us stop being insane

to each his own.

a little respect won't hurt

P.P. your the prettiest dove I've ever seen.

life is better when were together

in a busy world where you don't have a choice but to squeeze work even at dinner time

we cannot help but choose the simplest dinner and worry not if we are full or half full

the most important thing is i am with you in my most insecure and sensitive hour of the day to love and cherish the remaining hours before another day sits in.

my Erika

erika with her dad last september in Singapore. a two months visit.

this was taken few days ago. My little girl is turning into a cute toddler now.

she wanted to go out and play more often than before. everytime she hears some kids is outside talking and playing she also wanted to be outside too.

she is outgoing and smart, she knows what is hers and what is not.

she can now say anything that goes at the back of her mind.

she is more independent and can do anything alone with minimal help from a tita or grandma.

like this frog.




happy 11.11, 2011...=)  make a wish.

make reading a habit

i got this load of books.
why am i loading myself with books nowadays, its because i have nothing to do when im at home during weekend, aside from constant chores on our apartment, facebooking, you tubing, and going to work facing hollow core, staircases shop drawings, construction stuff and all other precast office stuff...then going home afterwards with a grocery at hand for dinner or buying essentials for a day or two before boarding a bus or mrt..whatelse, whatelse?..i come to enumerate what i do every other single day. bored actually, blogging cannot totally help. i just get bored accompanied with head ache and oftentimes envy..(to fashion bloggers)..=)
because they got this amazing distinct styles and loads of new stuff and wonderful time with their lives traveling here and there and or designing shoes or modeling wardrobes from a sponsor or just simply winning some new stuff from Blogs itself..

okey, okey..actually i love books.it is one of my favorite thing to do when im lazy .
i learned and entertain myself with this...so many to read for this month and onwards...wheewww

see what i mean about my boring moments?...trying to read all of these in just one month or two..haha i don't think so.

now it's october

yes it is.
and two more months to count in and 2011 is over.
that was so fast.
and so far so good.

personally, i kind of grow more intimately close to my significant others
this is our 4th going 5th year of being together, and thats so amazing.
we still stuck on each other like glue.
i mean - were not angels, we also quarrel, so many times
just small quarrels, and i hope there will be none anymore.
actually this morning he board again a plane going for a job assignment abroad.
i mean abroad because we're living here in singapore.
abroad means back to phils for some local projects.
sometimes in sri lanka or indonesia but most of the time back in phils.
i miss him.
and i talk to no one today.
i feel his absence.
really feel lonely.

i miss my pangga.
i wanted to sleep after writing this blog because i don't want to think of being alone.
goodnight earth.

on our way to airport. waiting for the on call taxi..

tonight becomes two nights

hehehe..
yesterday was a lousy sunday
no 'out day'
supposed to be it is a weekend get away but the husband is stuck on playing his
battle field, so i was also stuck inside the bedroom with nothing to do ---

but today becomes two in one hehehe

one for a dinner out with pizza and two is a movie with 'Johny English'

well, just a little twist of the weekday makes my bored weekend over.
i am ready to face tuesday, wednesday, thursday and friday..=)

tomorrow will be my ironing night and organize night
promise.
goodnight peeps..
happy weekdays!!!

Qoutes about Life -

just compiling quotes that i wanted to keep a little bit long for myself..

Life is indeed difficult, partly because of the real difficulties we must overcome in order to survive, and partly because of our own innate desire to always do better, to overcome new challenges, to self-actualize. Happiness is experienced largely in striving towards a goal, not in having attained things, because our nature is always to want to go on to the next endeavor.

Albert Ellis, Michael Abrams, Lidia Dengelegi, The Art & Science of Rational Eating, 1992

i love this grandma hehehhe...

haaaayyy...

this makes my saturday a little bit calm. because i got this head ache that won't leave me for two days and a little bit annoyance of anything. boresome and too much sleep is not good for me though.

here's another book

two lovely books that i haven't read yet. second hand from S.A at 1 dollar and 2 dollars respectively.
actually i've watched Bridget Jones movies, but i cannot let this book lie down somewhere in S.A  for a longer time and it's a little bit different with the movie compared to a book i guess so, i mean there are some chapters in the book that were no longer shown in the movie and i will find that out, of course after reading this.
the only thing about books that you buy is you procrastinate in reading it, while if you only rent it you have to read it at once because there is a due date. now, i've finished reading my 'adultery club' because i just rent that one and i think i wanted to return it and get my 7dollars back so soon.

the other book is about Frank Lloyd Wright, a famous architect in which a hidden love affair is on a book and i am one of those who can find out what is his secret affair all about. I am an architect by profession and for me it is amazing to peak a little bit of the secret lives of people whom you admire for their works and talent.
let me see how normal Frank is.
Loving Frank.

Adultery Club also is so sexy and stunningly written by Tess Stimson, i wanted to read again any of her book soon. i enjoy it very much. 
ooopps, don't forget the return due date for this -- September 28 okey?
i love books thats why i blog about it..sorry for those who find this blog boring..=)

fair enough day

it's been two weeks since my significant others is here with me in Singapore.
it is so nice to be with a husband you know..
but there is a tendency that we can pissed off each other and at the same time
have a lot of cuddling and sweet moments if we are together for a long long time..

i like it when he is assigned to other countries for a field work
i mean, i am sure enough that it is all about work
no fuss, no chicks or whatsoever
from time to time i know his exes and y's come to chat with him
but to hell with them my significant others love me that much
i am 154 percent sure of that..(don't ask me why 154, i do not know either..=P....)

anyway, i have no new pictures to show here i just like to write a blog
i just wanted the whole blog world to know that i have a fair sunday
no rain, me and the husband went to church, we have a lunch out, went to some place
and send my X10 cellphone to service center for some services
and then went home, have some fancy romantic conversations about anything
and then have some afternoon sleep, while the husband went out for jogging
and then wake up
and do some chores
and the night wanted to bade goodnight now, so i guess i should also.

by the way, the message we got from the mass this morning is about FORGIVENESS,
be slow to anger and be compassionate to the people who means so much to you
life is short.
don't waste it in anger or hatred.
good thing i say sorry the other night when we got a row.
or else..God knows what happen if i don't say sorry.
marriage life is all about that.
complicated and simplicity in one.

have a happy sunday evening and hope we will all have a great weekdays = workdays

=P

walk versus jog

today is blessed with a sunny day
and before the sun decided to set, me and husband decided to take a 'jog'
er - he jog, i walk ..=)

me and my other half herbert

i just enjoy the afternoon walk..
jogging, walking,  whattever form of excercise thats good for everyone.
but, to be with your beloved means more than anything else in the world, right?
i think i heard you say 'yes i agree'...thats good.
=)

have a nice saturday to all!

30th post in 30 days

i was amazed to see that i come up with 30 blog post
for just one month excluding the post for my favorite songs/music.
it was fun to write and write just about anything, no matter if it is really has
something to offer to the reader. most of my blogs doesn't have anything
to do with politics, or does not contain intellectual conversation either,
nor it is with moral or religious or something you agree
or disagree at the end of each blog.

actually, i blog because i just wanted to
blah blah and blah..look, my husband is not here, my boardmates were all boys, i am not a great fan of tv and i do not go for social gatherings..except for our company's lunch out or dine out...so who do you think i will talk to? nobody, right? long distance conversation also is so expensive and it cost me 100bucks a month..gee thats not terrific..so pardon me for writing a lot here on blog.
eww why am i explaining this?
if it doesn't interest you, i don't care.
as long as i don't hurt anybody.
i think this is normal.
to write as many blogs as i want.

by the way this will happen to you if you are alone..

dine outside with pizza, bread, and butter most of the time.
gotta go, tomorrow is the end of all holidays..
meaning..work come's in.
see yah!

4 days of genuine holiday

ADLIB
day 1 - friday - pretend that i am sick so I didn't go to work and stayed home.
day 2 - saturday - nothing much, just a rain drops keep falling on our place, music, and internet.

day 3 - sunday - church, pray pervently and saying my heartfelt thank you's to God in heaven

THE LONG TRUE STORY
friday morning i woke up so late to go to work it is already 7:05 damn AM and i am still dreaming
in my bed. how can i go to work without taking a shower, i tried to estimate the time if i finish washing
my hair and change clothes it will be 7:20 something, I will be shamefully late, so i change my mind, i pretend i am sick (bad girl..) and go back to bed, text my colleague and continue sleeping.. it's raining outside and God it is so nice to just lay down the whole morning and dream of Jason Mraz or having a million dollar on my account to buy so many nice things on earth, until such time my stomach grroowls in hunger..needed some bread and coffee, read some emails and plan to go back to bed again which i did for another 2 hours..hah
what happen to me? i do not know also, why i am such a couch potato...maybe because of the rain, it is sooo sooo nice to sleeepp i do not want to get up..really.

so what i did is i talk to my brain, i said, common pretty girl wake up, time to shop! whoa it works!! hahha

i took a shower and headed to S.A..actually, i didn't see anything that nice. i got a book for 1sgdollar..and nothing more..but before i am about to bade goodbye to S.A that day i saw a pretty pretty chiffon, sheer, cutesy brand new dress for only 8sgdollar...so i grab it off and bring it home..=)

here it is, pretty peach/pinkish dress

saturday, all i did was just talk to my plants that started to bloom and talk to myself more and read some more, its weekend, nothing so much to do - er no husband, no messy place, well, a little bit messy but
manageable, and still rainy. i got this new book as a companion..gee look what i am reading as of these days..

at least maybe just maybe i learn something from this book. don't tell my significant others that i read this okey? i have no intention of ruining our furpect relationsheep hehehe..

sunday - went to church but dying to go out at once because ive catch a glimpse of a thrifting file just about anything outside the church -- it is  so tempting haha, but of course it is after the mass, i wiggle out of the church to check if it is something nice, i mean can i afford it, or is it really nice?. what i saw is a pricey rectangular mirror..and i did not buy it because i don't understand the tag price, it says something about 2170AHa, what does that mean..a code? hmm, i don't favor that. so out i go and went home and went somewherelse..er actually bought a pink belt for 9sgdollars from Cotton On..how disgusting my boresome moment made me SHOP.i hate boresome moment, i hate being alone, it makes me love to shop..=/

tomorrow, is another tuesday holiday -  and i do not want to say anything about tomorrow..let it come first.
(butttt, im dying to go to Forever21, topshop, river island, zara ooohhhooo just a peak girlss...just to peak and see and touch..=)...if anything happen, please dont hurt my purse).

goodnight.

the number you dial is not yet on service, please try your call later



finally, before i lay down my head to this queen size bed, my call is succesful,
-you received it and you talk to me, it's been 8 long days since we haven't talk to each other...its some kind of feeling unloved you know.
that is not a good thing actually but i'm glad i already got you on the line
after maybe more or less 130 calls that i made this week.
bad idea of not having a good communication line outhere where you are.
anyway, you take care, i miss you.get your butt to come home next week.
or else...

little princess dress

hi there, i want to show you my daughter's dress i pick up on my way to the market this morning. it cost me 4sgdollars but it's worth it, i ask the auntie to give it to me for 3sgdollars but she is not that good hearted today so i just shrug and buy it with the price she's asking. so here it is...i like the two pockets in the front. she loves dresses with pockets too. she like to put money in it whenever we go somewherelse.

 the next picture is my gift to her when she came her in singapore and its quite nice 'tutu skirt' i love it so much and i want her to wear this on her 3rd birthday coming december with a knee high sacks and a cute blouse to pair with. she would probably look so darling on this. i bought this from a korean store and its little bit pricey
as i can remember it's about 23sgdollars.

this one is a sweet sweat shirt given to me by my colleague. her daughter grow taller nowadays so she didn't need this one anymore. actually, she gave me dozens of cute dresses and shirt but i don't have the time to take pictures because my daughter and mom in law will be flying back to phils and bring the clothes along with them so i just got some few things left here.
thanks for this one though, i like the flower details here.

                                           isn't she adorable?

(the only thing that im sure in this world is i love my little girl around the world and back)..

blogging is a big deal

dear blog,

i wanted to ask you, is blogging a bad idea?
i got this 'not so nice' comment from my significant others that blogging is just a waste of time. i don't think he is right. my blogging is one way of expressing things, emotions, and whatever is happening in my mind and my world, and it is not a waste of time to be happy and to express myself and to tell other people what i got or what is going on with my life-while he is not around here for quite a long time. i go crazy without talking to somebody even just on my blog. i cannot make long distance call more often too, it is more expensive to do so. why on earth he wanted to make everythng i do a big deal?
i do nothing really reaaally bad, i don't cheat, i dont go on parties, i don't go out with friends, i don't drink alcohol, i don't go a lot of shopping-er, only few times, i don't spend his money either if i do and i don't find any other outlet aside from small things like blogging or facebook and my everyday work.

husband sometimes is difficult to comprehend.
sometimes they are like a bloated cow.

now that i have my period, he should behave so well.
he wouldn't like me
when i got my period
i metamorph into a complete bitch.

sweet but deadly bitch...hahha
joke.
i don't feel okey anyway.
i got one of my lousy boring saturday.
i just read a book the whole morning and afternoon and it aches my head
because i'm hungry and i don't want to put down my book.
i got my period and im so lazy to do anything
i wanted to write a lot of blogs but i just cant get the gusto to do it.
i love blogging whatever my husband says..
i just cannot make it disappear.
even if i dont have anything to say anymore.
hope he will understand and accept that.
okey i will write another blog pretty soon.
just give me time to warm up..
see yah..

ep ezlink card

you don't know what is this, right?

that's why im sure you will skip this one and will not waste your time

on looking or knowing what this is all about.

well, let me introduce you this is an ez link card.

here in singapore, we use this to pay for our mrt, bus and taxis fare.

just tap it to the designated equipment and there you go,

no need to pay the driver by cash

or sometimes if you dont have any amount in this atm you can use coins on busses but not on mrts.

anyway, this is a freebie, ( i love give aways!! yeeey) from my company because its celebrating it's 50th anniversary in construction industry..wow, i hope next year i will get more bonus because we reach the 50th year on service..crossing fingerssss..

the picture is totally what we design everyday.can you see the lower left portion of the card, there is this kind of rectangular in shape slab, that is a hollow core slab, so strong and durable and it cost thousands of dollars.

huh kind of manly work. but gee, im working here and i also ask myself what on earth am i doing in this company instead of designing houses or buildings or making a fashion sketches and designing bags or shoes, anything fabolous..yet here i am precast designer

during the day and a part time blogger at night haha!

time flies, i blog just about anything.

status: husband still not around

so i play talking to my own self.

see you on some more blogs.

Warmly,

Jasmin

status: cleaning lady, emotionally weary

Sunday afternoon i took the part of a cleaning lady and it turns out
fine to see that every areas at home is at least pleasing to my eyes.
i bought a flower, and a new table cloth to make the dining table more appealing to the food we eat. i mop the whole living room and kitchen floors..(so tired of doing so..)
take out unsafe to eat food inside the refrigerator and throw them all.
so many unfinished food and spoiled processed food left
inside the ref..
people here in our apartment is making our refrigerator like a trash closet.
so bad. so busy? better stop buying if they cannot consume them.
it's a waste of money to think of.

i also laundered my clothes, bed sheets, and throw pillow sheets. 

huh, been alone quite many times today.
nobody wants to stay on sunday.i know.
actually nobody to talk too..

i don't have the urge to call my significant others
because, i am angry at him for accusing me of shopping a lot.
which i did not.
i just shop.
but not much.
i bought neccessities.
and thrifted ones.
and i know someday i will eventually put them on sale too.
if only my husband will appreciate who he is with.
then, he don't need to have an unhealthy feeling about shopping.
or being a woman that i am.
duh, every woman on earth, if given a chance will go on shopping.
kill me if i am wrong.

but dont. because today i am a good cleaning lady and i made our apartment clean and shiny.
enough said.

1. the flowers that i smell today
2. the new table cloth i bought
3. my sole companion while cleaning
4. my colorful dress print
5. don't sweat the small stuff face


tired,

Jasmin

the husband's breakfast

this is what we call a typical filipino breakfast 'pandesal' with scrambled egg. i bought this pandesal when i came from the Philly one time. Lucky Plaza also sells pandesal but the taste is not desame with the pandesal at home.

he likes to eat you know

i like to prepare breakfast for 'the husband' he don't appreciate it, he ate it.

as much as i love fruits, i also love colorful things, it gives me freshly feelings

Don't let a day passby without reading..



I am reading this book for this moment to ease up my boring unproductive day. I just merely sat down the whole sunday and i get pissed off of my not doing anything..so this book becomes my companion for awhile..i got this one in one of the local bookstore calles Popular Bookstore and it cost SG17.66, but with 20% discount i only got it for SGD14 ..lucky because i've waited a little while longer before i bought this..the hardbound cover cost more than this one but i dont buy it, it's all the same content anyway.


This book is hilarious..better than a swiping visa so screammingly funny..=) please read this book if you have a chance..it is one hell of a laughter..



this books contains - er i dont know yet, it's for me to find out though. I am reading this for the moment together with my Sophie K...or maybe i will read this first..actually i promise myself to read at least - 8 books per year..any books. may it be a novel, an architecture book or just simply book..mags dont count because from time to time i got to read them anyhow..=)

Start up

My Erika, my youngest (as of this time..=P)..she is two years and a half year old now..she liks fashion, music and all wonderful things as much as i do..she likes to dance and sing from the bottom of her heart, it also freak out my ear drums sometimes but gee im her mother i should appreciate it no matter if it is out of tune or what..=) i love my daughter.

My herbert, the love of my life, I used to love and hate and love this person, but he is my sweetest treasure here on earth, i loved him so much.


<><> <><> <><> <><> <>

My eldest Paul, he is terribly a good boy. My first treasure, my first beloved.

Hello there! i wanted to create a new blog where i write down my diary's
of my everyday life here on earth...
Well, to start it up i'd like to introduce my self--


My name is Jasmin, I am on my late 30's.
I am currently in Singapore right now, I work as a precast designer.
Er - I am an architect by profession you know, and it's annoying that I am not working as an architect...instead, i work as a Precast Designer which I doubt would be my eternal love-work..


I already got a fiancee, a daughter and a teenager boy.
I love them so much.
They are my great treasures..


i posted their pics here for you to be able to see how lovely they are..
