Just today, I had a chat with a friend. She said that I look thinner on my pics. This made me happy, of course. At least I won’t have a hard time watching my diet for the next couple of months till my sister’s wedding. Haha.

My mom offered to pay for my gown on that event. I declined the offer simply because the schedule (this couturier hardly accepts appointments on a weekend) conflicts with Mikee’s playschool. Guess what? I dreamt of it last night. I was waiting for my turn and saw my mom wearing a very sexy lacy white dress. And in my dream, she was young and thin. Hmm, maybe a premonition of what I’ll see on my sister’s wedding. But instead of my mom, it’s my sister being sexy, which would be a surprise because she’s not.

Yes, this blog is sporting a new look. I’ve changed the theme of my main blog and I figured I’d do the same here and with berryscrappy. I know, I know. I should use shades of green instead to live up to this blog’s name, CHI. But I think this blog contains more purple-looking topics. (Merong ganun? purple-looking topics? Bwahaha)

As I have expected the training was so boring. But I was surprised to know that it is a two-day training. I had to check my calendar and lo, I have two other trainings tomorrow. Good thing I remember the organizer telling me I could just call in for those two.

Free snacks were served in the morning and in the afternoon. It used to be that this training was held externally (in a posh hotel) with free snacks AND LUNCH. Since the company I’m working with had just purchased another company (Ooops, Is that a clue already huh?), the employees could feel some cutbacks are done.

Annoying. I better buy some acne treatments or I’d start popping these with my own bare hands. Tsk, tsk.

Hey, I have an idea. Why don’t you let the employees work from home Tuesdays to Fridays saving Mondays for meetings like we used to? Then you can cut back on our humongous electric bill. Just a thought.

It’s only 7am and I’m already here in the office. I have a 9am training and our car is banned today. Hence, hubby and I are both 2 hours early.

I am wondering how on earth I can concentrate on the training later. I’m too sleepy and I’m pretty sure it would be a “wordy” training. I don’t think my mind is ready to accept any additional information. Ho-hum. I better start researching on New York movers before my mind starts to wander again.

busy.
why? hubby’s birthday.
enough said.

Is it just me or may berde talaga sa itaas? Namamalikmata lang ba ako? Tatlo na ba uli ang grado nitong si everydaychi? Kahit nanggigigil ako malaman kung paano at bakit, wag na lang. Baka masira pa ang ulo ko. Sabi nga, magpakasaya hangga’t nandiyan pa. Sige na nga, aminin ko na, gusto ko pa din malaman anong tunay na pormula niya.

Anyway, today is a holiday. Nothing much going on. Hubby and Mikee are taking their afternoon naps. I agreed to hubby’s request to start getting busy tomorrow morning for his birthday. Today will be our rest day. Fine with me, I am still tired from the wedding party we attended yesterday, still full I think. Haha.

I will blog about the wedding (with my bloopers and all, yikes!) when I get the pictures.

It’s Friday again! Hubby and I will go out with his team mates tonight to celebrate his (and another teammate’s) birthday in advance. Hubby has been asking me if I can come or not. You see, I told him I am unsure because Mikee has been guarding me. Hahaha. I told him I’d come if Mikee would let me.

Happy weekend everyone!

What’s this brouhaha about the LV bags that it drives people to brag? Hahaha. Kidding. I understand the passion for bags. Although I am not the LV-type. I’m more of a Coach or Kate Spade type. You see, I like leather and I like them plain. Although I fell in love with some Coach patchwork bags.

Isn’t she a beauty? Hep, I don’t own this. Just so you know.

When we got home, I saw something in the car trunk beside the golf bags (which a friend had placed but forgot to unload). It’s a big plastic of corn bits. I asked hubby why he bought so many. He told me that the family of one of his teammates manufactures the corn bits. I smiled and asked hubby why this person is still working when he can just help with the family business. He is secured anyway. (The corn bits were so yummy!)

Actually this is no longer news around the company. A lot of young people, whose family have several flourishing businesses, work to earn their own money. They have several reasons. First, their parents are rich, not them. Second, some are just not interested with the family business. Third, some wanted to prove to their parents that they can stand on their own. Fourth, some said their family business is simply boring. Other reasons I do not know.

All I know is that these people are lucky. They will always have the family business as backup.

I know I know, it’s a wedding and it’s not ours so why are we so excited about it. First, we have an excuse to dress up in formal wear and our guys in suits. Second, this is another photo opp for the whole gang. Initially, the groom told us that it’s ok for the guys to wear barong for those who are not in the entourage. But it was agreed upon that the guys will be wearing coat and tie so we will all look good together in pictures. Yes. We are all willing to shell out money just for the pictures. Haha.

I have readied my makeup, Proactiv acne cream and jewelry for the event. Btw, I have found the perfect pair of shoes for my little dress.

Look:
