March is our birthday month!:)
Me - March 9
Mika (my husband) - March 27 which was yesterday!!!!
Anyway, ang cute cute cute ng isang conversation namin kahapon. We were in Cubao for our dentist appointment. While crossing Farmer's going to Gateway, we passed by Handyman and saw a bigger inflatable pool. (We are looking for something for our baby girl, she has this small one and she has a sort of bigger one from her lola.)
Carole: Hon, ayun o! Ang laki! Kasya na tayong 3 dyan.
Mika: Masyadong malalim baka malunod si Aeris.
Carole: Hindi yan.
After a few minutes, out of the blue.
Carole: Di ka mahilig mag-swimming no?
Mika: Hindi eh.
Carole: Kahit beach?
Mika: Hindi din. Hindi lang talaga ako mahilig maligo.
AYUN NA! Kaya naman pala hon. HAHAHA :) ALAM NA ALAM NA!:)
Love you hon! Belated happy birthday!:)

DROOL
Okay, okay, medyo gross ba yung post title ko? Sorry. But that's really what I am currently experiencing looking at these shoes.
Taylor Heels from Chilli Margarita

Amina Studded Pointed Toe Wedges from Scarlet

These shoes are below P1,200, but I am just super kuripot lately. I 'accidentally' emptied my savings account and transferred almost 70% of it to my CitiSec account. I guess this seems to be good since I will be 'forced' to invest/buy stocks rather than spend them on shoes, shoes and more shoes.
So, my dear objects of desire, I have to bid goodbye for now. Until I get back on my feet and have some leeway for self-spending. =)
EXPO MOM 2013
I am soooooo excited! Since I knew I was going to be a mom, with my little Miss Kulit tumbling and twirling inside my tummy, I scoured the Metro for Mommy bazaars. Yun na, instead of going to fashion and shopping bazaars, I became more attuned to Mom and Baby bazaars.
I WILL SHOULD MUST GO! :)
Shopping for my baby's never been this fun!!!! :)

So it's early Wednesday morning, was again too early for office. (This happens every Monday and Wednesday, then Tuesday and Thursday --- forever late.) We only have access to YouTube during open hours, before 8 am, 12-1, and after 5 pm. I took advantage of being 2 hours earlier and downloaded new covers of one of my favorite local artists --- JOHNOY DANAO!!!!
I first heard of Johnoy from my officemates in DoF. He plays for Mo Twister's podcast. Being a sucker for anything acoustic --- I immediately fell for him and his craft! Ang sarap talagang pakinggan. Umeksaherada na naman ang pagiging fangirl ko, I followed him in Twitter, look for his Facebook personal account, liked his Facebook page, downloaded almost every cover and original song available in the universe! When I got married October of 2011, I knew it wouldn't be complete without him playing.
Sooooooooooo...
I requested/begged/pleaded my officemates na ito nalang ang wedding gift nila sakin. (See, I am known for being makulit ---- pag may gusto, sobrang kulit.)
Johnoy and his team were very accommodating. =) He even sang additional songs, so sweet. Feel na feel ko talagang kinakantahan nyo ko --- sa kasal ko! HAHAHA!
Here are a few of his new covers that I saw in YouTube, promise you have to listen to him!

Utak ko'y sabaw
It's a Tuesday!
2 more days, and I'm on my week-long vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you SP for once again granting our wish for a week of rest.
Anyhoo, I am stuck..stuck on my papers. I have 2 papers to submit my the end of the month. Hindi pa sya tapos! Oh my oh my! Bakit ba hanggang ngayon, crammer pa din ako! :(
Praying so hard that God will grant me the knowledge and wisdom in finishing these.
Happy Tuesday, people!

Oh Saturday. Oh Saturday.
Good morning guys!
How was your weekend?
I loathed my Saturday. :(
So last Saturday, after our regular dentist appointment, we dropped by SM Mall of Asia to check-out Forever 21's double markdown sale. I was so excited! Pag double markdown sale kasi ng Forever 21, ang sarap mag-shop. I don't really shop there, I find the items quite pricey. I am a Divisoria-loyalist by heart. But when it's on additional 50% off on sale items, it is a must that I go.
I went inside the shop while my family went to Razon's to have halo-halo. I shopped quick. Di kasi ako mahilig magsukat, I find it cumbersome changing clothes in the fitting rooms. I just estimate the size. So far, di pa naman ako sumasablay. I got 8 items for 2k. Ok na ok na diba? Sabi pa ng cashier, ang galing ko daw mamili kasi hindi lahat ng items double markdown, sabi ko naman, 'syempre Ate. Di ko yan bibilhin kung 50% off lang'. I was very happy with my purchases. Sulit na sulit kasi. Then I saw my HS friend, Beth, we talked for awhile, kamustahan. Then I called Mika, asking them where they were. That was the last time I remember unzipping my bag and I don't really recall if I ever zipped it again. (Stupid stupid stupid me.)
After Razon's, we went to the Department Store to buy Aeris' new bottle sterilizer. When I was about to pay, I was looking for my wallet. Ayun. Wala na sya. Wala talaga. 'Baka andyan lang yan Carole, hanapin mo ulit.' But it was really not there. I called Mika, balikan ko daw sa Forever 21. I looked for the counter where I paid, the cashier who took my payment was already out, talked to the manager, asked the security personnel --- nada. Walang wallet na lumabas. They viewed the CCTV clip, pagkatapos ko daw magbayad, pinasok ko yung wallet ko sa bag ko. So hindi ko sya nailapag lang sa counter. Tama, yun din ang naalala ko eh. Pero bakit wala sya sa bag ko. :(
My happy Saturday took a 360-degree turn.
On our way home, as I called the banks for cancellation of my cards, I kept thinking 'how can you be so careless and irresponsible, Carole.'
1) That wallet was new. I got it from Cambodia.
2) That wallet contained the money to pay our electric bills (the main house and our apartment).
3) That wallet contained the USD we saved from our Cambodia trip.
4) That wallet contained the boutique money for 2 days.
I had a very heavy heart.
My husband kept on reminding me that I should be more vigilant next time. Charge it to experience daw. Ang sakit na experience naman nito.
Well, I must say, because of this unfortunate incident I was reminded a number of things:
1) NEVER CARRY A BIG AMOUNT OF CASH WITH YOU. It has been my habit to withdraw my weekly salary from my payroll account then immediately deposit it to my BPI account. That morning, I was supposed to deposit the cash I had, but we did not see any BPI Deposit Machine. So I ended up carrying the cash with me. Ito lang yun e, ngayon lang naman ako di nakapag-deposit, ngayon pa sumablay talaga.
2) ALWAYS BE VIGILANT. My husband keeps on reminding me to close my bag whenever I get something from it. Di ko din kasi nakasanayan 'to. But I always make sure that I keep my bag close to me. Ayoko lang kasi ng bukas-sara bukas-sara kapag may ka-text ako. Well the bad habit backfired.
The last realization is the most important.
3) WHATEVER TAKES UP YOUR ATTENTION AND TIME MORE THAN GOD, HE STRIPS IT OFF YOU. When I was young(er), this was my prayer whenever I kept doing something I know God wasn't pleased of. 'Lord, alam ko pong mali 'to. Paulit-ulit na lang. Paluin Nyo nga po ako ng malakas para matuto ako. Batukan nyo ko Lord para ma-realize kong mali talaga to.' This was something between me and God, and I like it just the way it is. I was/am a stubborn girl/woman. Hangga't di ko ramdam yung sakit, go pa din ako. I want to see it myself, to feel it. Matigas talaga ulo ko, inaamin ko. So I always prayed that God allow me to struggle, because it is in struggling that I am reminded that I still know what is right from what is wrong. When we fail to struggle and just give in to our desires, then it is already in our immediate nature to do what is wrong. We no longer pause and think of the consequences. I believe this incident was God's way of reprimanding me. Recently, I have less time for Him, for His church. I focused too much on my small business, on how to make it grow, on how to earn more and earn big. I am reminded of Matthew 6:24 'No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money'.
It is not wrong to aspire to earn more. But it is not right to make money your master. Let us not be a slave to wealth.
I am glad to have a husband who keeps on reminding me that despite that event, we are still blessed. Whatever was lost, I can still earn. We are safe. I didn't lose my wallet in a robbery where guns and knives were involved.
It still is sad that I had to learn my lesson the hard way. But God loves me way too much, He wouldn't allow me take the wrong path any further.
