*TOROTOT NA PARA SA 2011 !

...at wag kalimutan ,pwede daw isama ang kamatis para sa grupo ng mga bilog na prutas.

Harinaway, marami kayong natorotot.

*MAY BUKAS PA NAMAN EH

Minsan ang life ay parang isang malaking test
May mga problemang kailangang i-solve
May tagumpay
Meron ding kabiguan (whoa! ang lalim nito!)
May lungkot
Merong ligaya
At habang tinatahak natin ang buhay, may mga bagay tayong natututunan tungkol sa sarili natin.

Natutunan ko na meron akong "mañana-habit" or what is famously known as "procrastinator"

Di ko pa nababalot ang mga regalo
Di pa tapos ang pamaskong shopping ko
I have no idea kung kailan ko matatapos ang family website namin that I started 7 months ago
Ang gulo pa rin ng bahay namin
Di ko pa alam kung ano susuot ko sa party bukas
I need a haircut
Di ko pa na un-pack ang isang bagahe namin from our Pilipinas vacation last month

Pero eto ako,naka-hilata...

Just like I always do, hanggang masyado nakong tambak at wala nang choice kundi tapusin na nang madalian o kaya deadmahin nalang. At pag sobra na ang stress, I'm no fun to be around... my poor Chuck would just want to run away from me.

Story of my life...

On a side note, pinalitan na ni Chucky ko ng bago shower head namin, He cleaned the bathroom nice too!

Habang ako naman ay na-upo,kumain ng tsokolate habang nano-nood ng TV.

I'll do the rest bukas or maybe next weekend... pag feel ko.

*OKRAYIN SI MILEY CYRUS

(thanks to MEMEBRAS for the video)

Miley Cyrus was caught using a bong with Salvia and cursing on cam... who cares , right? It's her life. Actually, the thing that bothered me most about this video was her laugh.

She sounded like a horse with a very bad cough... just sayin' :)

You can tolerate more than what you think you can...

*MIRROR MIRROR ON THE WALL

When I look at the mirror...

I see kilay na kailangan nang i-pluck
I see wrinkles na nagsisimula ng dumami
I see nunal's
I see some puting buhok
I see dark circles around my eyes

When I look at the mirror...

I see a wife, a daughter, a sister
I see an aunt who wants to play with her nieces and nephew so bad

I see someone who will be a mother one day
in one way or another

I see an imperfect woman

on the outside

and inside

I see an adult who knows what she wants
what she needs
what she likes
and what she dislikes

When I look at the mirror...

I see a woman who is slowly realizing the there is more to life than Louis Vuitton, Rolls-Royce, Mercedes Benz at kung anu-ano pang mamahaling bagay.

...or being the crush ng bayan

...the prettiest

...or the skinniest

When I look at the mirror...

I see someone who loves to enjoy life
the little things
the wonderful moments with family and good friends.

When I look at the mirror...

I see dimples

I see poklat

I see smiles
I see smile lines

I see a work in progress....

*IF THIS HOUSE COULD TALK...

- would it tell me some amazing stories?

- would it tell me how my mom raised 4 children and did a pretty good job?

- would it tell me how hard my dad worked to support us?

- would it tell me that people in here worked altogether to overcome all the trials in life?

- would it tell me that there are a lot of laughter and love inside these walls?

- would it tell me how blessed I am to be part of this family?

PROBABLY....

ALL OF THE ABOVE.

*LIFE MAKEOVER

NAME CHANGE :

I've never met or heard anybody whose name is spelled exactly like mine-"BLENDALEE" ... Not that I didn't like it , but if I have a chance to change it for a day, I'll pick "GRETCHEN" .. tunog sexy at artistahin.

My nickname would be "GRECHHH" with 3 H's...or 4.

NEW TALENT :

(thanks to www.vevo.com for the video)

With millions of practice...I think kakayanin ng powers ko 'to. How cool would it be to be able to dance and sing like Beyonce?

I know, I know...I have to work on my bilbil big time for an acceptable leotard-fitting-body.


NEW HAIRSTYLE :

Between you and me , I think my hair is the source of my maldita power. I refuse to cut my hair really short but since this blog is about "makeover", ito-todo ko na 'to.
I want something creative, modern, fun and shocking.



Unique and memorable , right?


FASHION FASHION FASHION:

I want to make statement! I want to wear clothes that would set me apart from the crowd. I want a "look-at-me! look-at-me!" kind of style.

I think a hot, hip , funky, and a tiiiiiiiny little bit touch of LADY GAGA wardrobe will be a hit.



This should match my new colorful hairstyle.

I think I can pull it off.

I told my Chucky today, "I'm just going to let myself go and get really fat, okay?" ...He smiled...I'm pretty sure that means it's okay. ;) ..I guess.

*HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF MY TITO GENIE?

Father.
Husband.
Brother.
Grand father.
Cool uncle.
Friend.
He calls me "ganda".
Fun guy.
He likes listening to QUEENS music and he lets me borrow his cassette tape too.
He makes people laugh.
He knows where to buy the best tinapay.
Smooth driver.
He puts on a happy face even when times are tough.

It's been 3 years ago today since he was rushed to the hospital and sadly, never made it back..



WE MISS YOU TERRIBLY ....

*PARA SA MGA BROKEN HEARTED

(thanks to lovemspenny for the video)

JAR OF HEARTS by Christina Perri

No I can’t take one more step towards you
Cause all that’s waiting is regret
And don’t you know I’m not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most

I learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are
Running around leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don’t come back for me
Who do you think you are

I hear your asking all around
If I am anywhere to be found
But I have grown too strong
To ever fall back in your arms

I learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time

And who do you think you are
Running around leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don’t come back for me
Who do you think you are

And it took so long just to feel alright
Remember how to put back the light in my eyes
I wish I would have missed the first time that we kissed
Cause you broke all your promises
And now your back
You don’t get to get me back

And who do you think you are
Running around leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don’t come back for me
Don’t come back at all

And who do you think you are
Running around leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You’re gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
Don’t come back for me
Don’t come back at all

Who do you think you are
Who do you think you are
Who do you think you are

*QUESTION MARK

Nasubukan mo na bang mag-cutix ng kulay neon orange?
...neon green?

Do you ever wondered how your life would be if you were a DOG?

...would you sniff other dogs butt?

Have you ever wondered what dog thinks when kids pull their ears?

Pinangarap mo rin ba na sana nagbubunga ng pera ang mga puno?

Have you ever really really missed someone so much and wish you were together even for just one day?

Can you imagine how nice this world would be to live in if each one of us knows kung paano makisama and be more understandable of other's mistakes and shortcomings?

...at hindi puro angal lang nang angal

Minsan mo na bang tinignan ang sarili mo sa salamin at sinabi mong "syet! ang ganda mo!" ?

...how about make faces sa harap ng salamin just for fun?

Can animals commit suicide?

Have you ever wished na sana time would slow down?

...or sometimes speed up?

Nakakita ka na ba ng pink na motorsiklo?

Have you ever choked on your own laway?

Pa'no kaya kung may kulay ang utot?

Would you wear something like this?

Have you ever wish on your birthday that somebody would hit your face with a pie just to see how it feels ?

Do you ever consider yourself blessed to be in love with someone who makes you happy ALL THE TIME?

I DO ...

*TO ALL GREAT NANAY'S OUT THERE

Isang masigabong palakpak para sa inyo:
(click pic to enlarge)

Para sa matyaga mong pagpa-palit ng diaper,
Para sa pag-asikaso mo ng mga pagkain,
Para sa pag-gabay mo para matuto kaming lumakad,
Para sa pagpunas mo ng tumulo kong laway,
Para sa pag-paypay mo tuwing maiinit,
Para sa pulbo pang bungang araw,
Para sa masarap na pagtimpla ng gatas,
Para sa kumot tuwing tag-lamig,
Para sa pagpasyal sa karnibal,
Para sa walang-angal mong pag-aalaga,

Para sa walang humpay na pagmamahal...

Maraming salamat...

Maligayang araw ng mga Nanay!

*Hubby and I had another date night tonight

...what could be better than that! ... spending a nice, relaxing time with the love of my life in our favorite Thai restaurant and not worrying about going back to work the next day. Yay!

We got all dressed up, ate way too much and had some drinks, and then came home less than two hours later and immediately got into our comfy shirts.

Now I'm blogging and he's watching his favorite -- America's Most Wanted.

Possibly one or both of us is farting. :)

*Sometimes, the things you remember are the things you want to forget...

*Dear Joan,

I thought about you last night, it's our birthday month, remember?...tatanda naman tayo. :)
I thought it would be nice if I give you a surprise call on your birthday, tagal na rin tayong di nagka-usap. I wonder how you are? I didn't receive any response to the messages I sent you thru friendster since 2007. I guess you're very busy or maybe you're just like me, tamad mag-reply! haha

We didn't spend too much time together but those short times we had was awsome...I think I spelled that wrong... Remember our Manila Zoo days in 2002 with my sister and cousins? How about ang sleep over mo sa munting bahay namin? Kahit siksikan tayo sa kama, enjoy naman di ba? ...My family thinks a world of you, sabi namin you have a good heart....'nga pala, you left your printed red shorts , did you ever get it back? I love it how you look after my bunsong kapatid like she is your real sister, you are such a selfless person...Did I tell you too how impressed I was with your creativeness? You sure can draw well and design and decorate houses... Our overnight trip to Isabela to see your Chinese client was interesting too, we travelled 16 hours in one day, balikan! We are such tough cookies... speaking of tough , I heard you can carry a sack of rice! Well, I still don't believe that unless you show me :).

Ni-google kita hoping to find any of your contact information but to my surprise, I found an ARTICLE ABOUT BREAST CANCER with your name on it and your picture as a patient with a Chinese Doctor...Nalungkot ako... I wish I had known about it. Kahit malayo tayo sa isa't-isa, maybe I can call you once in a while and help you get through it and apply my Tender Loving Care stuff I learned from nursing school and maybe make you laugh with my crazy jokes. Won't that be nice? I'm sure it's gonna be fun. You are a funny girl yourself.

I sent out a message to 15 of your friends from friendster trying to find out if they can give me a phone number where I can get a hold of you. I can't wait to hear your voice !....If nobody reply by tomorrow I'm gonna send another letter to your other friends. I will not stop until somebody gives me your number! ...kukulitin ko sila! :)

This morning, the first thing I did was to check my e-mail and see if anybody wrote me back... I got 5 answers , you must be popular, giiiiiirrrl!

I read them all ....

......and it's not a good news.

Your brother Erwin wrote:

"I'm very sorry to tell you that my sister passed away last Dec. 12, 2009"

Naluha ako....

I wish I had known about your battle with cancer....

I wish I had worked on finding your number sooner...

I wish I had given you comfort when you needed one...

May you rest in Peace dear friend.



You will never be forgotten.

Love,

Blenda (01/12/2010)

P.S.

I saved that very nice message you e-mailed to me and sister Precious in September of 2001...believe it or not, it is still in my Inbox. I read it again today , in the last part of your letter you wrote : "I want you to know what my heart tells before it's too late."

I should have "listened" to you and let you know as well how I felt and how grateful I was to have you as a friend....... I'm very sorry.... I'm late.
