How many times do I need to say " I'll update my blog".

Soo busy for the past months i don't know until when this project done. I need to be deeply involve in the finishing stage of my apartment. I asked my worker to paint the house super light blue in the bed room. cream beige in the kitchen cabinet. yellowish light cream in the living and dining. dark chocolate for the base board and terrace and lastly waterproof mud o' pie for the firewall. I'll post some picture when it's ready but right now too messy.

The other reason why I cant blog I am a victim of a swindler!!!!!! god help us. The contractor was recommended by one of my worker to do the sliding windows for 40,000 pesos. Right after we signed the contract I paid him 25,000 so he can able to buy materials but after so many weeks I received only false promises until the storm Pedring came. The water went through inside the room because the window still wide open so what happened the wooden wall swollen and not in good shape so I need to get a new contractor for the window and the carpenter need to fix the wall again . Oh!!! really hate those people!

I asked the assistance of the barangay municipal to get my money back from that contractor and give him lesson. So please guys! a beware of this kind of people make sure he's legitimate contractor check if he has a shop and record in his barangay so my experience wont happen to you.

Korean Hype Me

So the Koreanovela fever is now attacking me... I'm done watching Baker King, My GF is a Gumiho(fox) and Playful Kiss with my 8 yrs old daughter K. She's the one who really hooked up with these cute God's creature. I just wondering why the Korean can make a telenovelas that really get your attention and touched your heart and why do I find our own telenovenas boring. I love our actors but maybe it is in the story. The longer and complicated the stories, they more look boring and dull. But make it shorter the stories, the audience literally stop breathing in every scene; they really hold their breath and affected.
Right now, I am looking forward for more Korean Telenovelas marathon with K!!! Aja!

Aha! a sweet me?

hubby complained that I'm not longer a malambing to him. Still feel guilty as charged I dont know how to make up with him. Honestly, we are really liked a newlywed tho got married last 2006 and been together for almost 11 years now but still.... hay! M work away from the family most of the time plus the fact that I worked abroad also... the should be intimacy of being hubby and wifey are really less even though we tried to keep in touch and constantly updating ourselves no amount of talks the physical presences of each other d ata totoo ang "absence makes the heart founder". But dont get me wrong I LOVE MY M! he's my world and air. Maybe just need to pay attention more to him.
So to get a fresh start we celebrate Father' day at Golden Leaf Spa and truly enjoyed every seconds of soothing massage and the amenities such as Sauna and Steam bath, Jacuzzi and the snacks. We do planned to dine at Hapchan we like the noodles and dumplings but since we left the Spa sooo late (11pm) we end up at Vivian Tapsihan at Bulalohan along Tuazon Ave. We ordered Tapsilog, Sizzling Sisig and plain rice. No extra special in their food it's a so-so food masarap pa luto ni nanay Norma ( M's grandmother who owned a resto in Olongapo City.)We got up the next day around 10am! as in the massage gave us a good night sleep then.
I prepared M fried egg, hotdog and instant pancit canton for breakfast since we're late for pandesal. The owner even commented to M as "sir, tanghali na po wla ng nagbebenta ng pandesal".
M's tampo truly amazed me all the time. Naaalala ko na hey! I have a life and partner to enjoy for d puro stress and work lang.
M,
I know masama na loob mo but just to understand your wife. Still adjusting for so many things. I wanted to learn more from K, to our new project, to myself as an official bum and to you. From a high earner and independent person to nothing but a simple plain housewife. I thought it is simple as the word "plain" housewife but now the poor me sink in in my mind. Im a strong person I know in time I overcome my building up insecurities and fears and you'll see the old fighter in me. I love you so much! I truly do.

Bouncing Back

After the depressing miscarriage last February...Im back with confidence. I started my 6 doors apartment project last May 4. The first few weeks was really a financial draining phased. It's good that I tracking down all my expenses down to last centavo so I would be able to see the cost of my project and if it is still in my budget. I got 12 men to work for me I personally supervise the project tho, doesn't have educational background regarding construction only the knowledge and skills I learned from my previous job. Good to know that still I am a sales and marketing person... got a good deal in all construction materials I literally walked from Mayamot to Antipolo area just to canvass and check the durability of each materials. I love the new experience that keeps me busy like a bee for now..

Hectic Me

Been busy for the past 2 months complying with apartment's construction permit and success!!! we are now in the first phase of construction. I dreamed to have a 6 doors apartment ever since I got a job in nowhere land. Finally, god give me this blessings and I am so thankful!! I hope this is the brand new start for me here in Philippines.

I know it would help M a lot. We expecting now a monthly income aside from his salary. After this my next project is my mom's house to renovate. I need to give K her own world or room since she's turning 9 yrs old this October. I know I can do all these project... so help me God.
