We just got back from our province last Monday and as usual we have a lot of stuff that needs to be done. For one, Entrecard…as you may have noticed, we haven’t made any drops for like…days!!! This is not good since our stats are waaayyy below satisfactory but what can we do? Anyways, I’m hoping I have the time to keep things into perspective now that we’re back. I would like to thank those who have consistently dropped on our sites even if we haven’t done so in return. You guys are the best! We’re sure to return the favor…ASAP!

Street Children

August 26th, 2009

Praline

Problems and stress…I worry too much about a lot of things but every time I see ♥ kids♥ covered in dirt sleeping just by the side walk oblivious to the scurrying crowd, I feel compassion and guilt. I ask myself why I worry too much when these kids have deeper and even worse problems than us. Compared to the life that awaits these kids, my worries are minuscule.

2010 Philippine Elections

August 24th, 2009

Praline

I know the Philippine elections will still be held this coming May of next year but it wouldn’t hurt to start contemplating who you would elect to take the highest and most influential posts in the country. Though, I’m proud to be amongst the Filipino people of this Nation but unfortunately it’s a shame that most leaders care more about their political ambitions rather than the country’s adversities and social reforms. I just hope that All, if not most of us, would come to realize this important decision so as to create hope for our country especially to those who are considered the country’s poor. Blaming the country’s huge population is not the sole issue why the Philippines suffer from poverty but a corrupt government and abusive leaders.

Weekend with Val and Baby Vaughn

August 23rd, 2009

Praline

My way to spend a really great day is to be with my hubby ♥Val♥ and ♥baby Vaughn♥. Yesterday, Val took this picture of Vaughn and I in IT Park, Cebu City. We spent the day watching Vaughn with amusement as he walked, ran and tripped on the grass . Vaughn is only a year and 3 months old so he’s still in the process of perfecting his walk . Val and I felt really happy just to spend even these hours with Vaughn. He’s just so adorable we can’t help feeling thankful and lucky to have him in our lives. Here I am again, feeling vulnerable just thinking of ♥Val♥ and ♥Vaughn♥. The feeling is quite indescribable really, however, I’m happy to feel this kind of happiness.

cartoons stimulates fear?

August 16th, 2009

Praline

Who would have thought that the adorable Po of Dream Work’s ♥Kung-Fu Panda♥ will be feared by our younglings. I’ve never thought of it in a million years, but earlier today, my adorable son Vaughn was terrified when we started watching Kung-Fu Panda specifically Po. Much to my husband and mine’s amusement, little Vaughn started cying and rolling over the floor. At first, we didn’t know why he was acting uncanny. When we called his attention, he practically ran towards us and demanded that we hug him. When my husband embraced him, he noticed that Vaughn’s arms were wrapped so tightly around him like letting go of him wasn’t an option. Vaughn’s eyes were still focused on our television with Kung-Fu Panda still on its screen. After a while, Vaughn relaxed but still positioned himself close to my husband.I guess I’ll never really understand what Vaughn was thinking. But it is during these times that I can’t help but feel so much adoration towards our little Vaughn.

alone

August 15th, 2009

Praline

What I love about day dreaming is it’s FREE! Anyways, I’m here in the office quite bored sleepy and tired. Surprisingly, I find myself alone in our usually crowded and busy office. I can hear nothing but the sound of my fingers tapping the keyboard. I can’t stop myself from dozing off or thinking excitedly about our plans later. G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra is currently showing in theaters since last week and we’re hoping to finally get a glimpse of the movie. This is just my excuse to avoid getting spooked since I’ve heard lots of scary stories about our office. Perhaps I’ll blog about it in the future but for now, I need to get some work done.

and again…it’s Monday!

August 10th, 2009

Praline

Just thinking of Monday and all the things I have to do at work stresses me out. Don’t get me wrong. Though, I’m thankful to land with this kind of job but I could think of a thousand things I’d rather do than go to work. Like ♥ playing with my son ♥, ♥ writing ♥, ♥ updating our blog sites ♥ or ♥ learning more tricks with Photoshop ♥.

I keep asking myself why can’t we have longer weekends or rest days? I guess I’m just asking too much and being paranoid again because we all know this is impossible. I envy those who get paid for doing what they love do to. In my country, this rarely happens. Meaning, some do have jobs but are not that enthusiastic about it since this is not something that they love to do. Its just a means to an end or something of that sort. Well, the question still remains when can we finally break away from this madenning whirlpool of boredom and unhappiness?

Separated at birth?

August 8th, 2009

Praline

Hehe . I always thought my husband and actor Joo Ji Hoon look disturbingly alike. Even my sister always tease me about marrying Val since he looks like Joo Ji Hoon. In the same note, there were funny moments where Val and I were approached by total strangers thinking he’s Korean or Chinese. These strangers actually look like swindlers or something of that sort. Being the goofy couple that we are, we tend to play along with their game. It made me laugh how Val would pretend to be a Korean tourist speaking with poor English accent to these strangers. We enjoyed so much since they had no idea what we were up to.

Check out this photo I edited with Joo Ji Hoon and my hubby Val. For those who don’t know Joo Ji Hoon, he’s the leading guy in the K-series, Princess Hours.
