LOTTO Numbers at Last!

This is another something new that I accomplished at the start of the year!!! At last last night we were able to decide on the numbers after we got the love thing fortune cookie...


My budget would be $2 a week, $8 a month... Oh my gosh it would be hard to spend all of the money if I won! We will just forget about this numbers and wait for luck to pass by us lovebirds who needs the money... haha, who knows?

He Gave Me Flower... No, A Rose!


Around 6:30 this evening I pulled up in front of the garage and called my mom, I had to share some interesting news that's why I stayed in the car because I could only be too loud inside the house. It wasn't until five minutes later that I noticed Honey's car pulled up beside me and I wondered why he was home? He works 3pm to 11pm so there must be something he needs to do. I didn't see that long stemmed rose coming, I swear! Wala ko gikilig Basiga!!! Haha!

I thought my husband should know me better by now, I am not the type of girl you would give flowers to. I grew up in a garden and maybe that is why I don't appreciate flowers as much because of too much familiarity. This is the third time I got flowers from this guy, once during my birthday and the other was during valentines day, all thru the help of LBC. He told me he has to give me a rose, at least a stem of rose, because it is our wedding anniversary already... I'm like, okay??? I should be appreciating this gesture huh? Instead of asking him to convert it to cash that I badly need?

We went to the chinese buffet last night by the way, Honey made me cry yesterday because he pissed me off and I had my period! I wasn't in the mood at all and wasn't talking to him until almost fortune cookie time... and this is what we got...


Well... We certainly hope so too! I have to cut off my horns, seriously...

2012: First Strike

I thought of joining Honey's surfing craze. I recently saw Attorney Sweet's surfing endeavor in Mati and I thought to myself, why not?

I was already searching for a wetsuit this morning and I was too eager to tell Honey last night to go Santa Cruz today to start surfing! First of all, I don't think I really meant that statement, water right now is freezing and I think I could die out there. Honey just showed me in random how a surfer is supposed to ride his board:


Honey is so good at this surfing stuff now I think, he could move his way to the waves better, I think he is getter better compared to my brother in law, but that is just me, in favor of my husband somehow haha!

I will post some updates about my upcoming surfing endeavor here soon... This will be one of my something new for this year. Goodluck!

*** We went out last night to meet the new year, we were originally planning to join Honey's cousins at the bar... Unfortunately while in the area, I just gave up because I didn't know that people here would wait in line so ID's could be checked before being allowed inside! I was like OMG this is just too much and I knew right then and there that I couldn't do it. So we ended up eating in that Korean place in El Camino again, and by the way, I will just refer to it as "Korean Restaurant" as I couldn't find an English name anywhere in that place... We went home right after and witnessed a little bit of fireworks from the hood. This is my New Year's Eve Update.. ***

Budget

Thanks for the guest post by Donn Schroeder

My husband and I are doing our best to watch our budget lately, as a lot of people are. And by “my husband and I,” I mean “I” am trying to watch my budget. My husband is far better at saving money than I am, as I tend to view money as fairly expendable. It’s something we’re working on slowly, so we’ve been trying to cut costs where we can. I stumbled across DirectStarTV the other day and noticed that we could be saving a lot of money on our TV costs. We’ve had cable since we got married, and I figured out that we could get a ton more channels, plus some pretty awesome movie channels, for less than we’d been spending every month. We made a quick call to make the switch, and it’s been one of the easiest ways we’ve found to save money. I may or may not be spending some of that extra money on shoes, but like I said, I’m working on it. Rome wasn’t built in a day, right? That’s what I tell my husband, at least.

Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now!



Forgive me but I am just doing this for fun! This song has been our favorite in the karaoke, this could really be our theme song now. This video was taken at Rendel's aunt's house during her birthday before Christmas. Honey just loves karaoke, and I don't think he could deny that! It is cool that Honey and I could really team up when it comes to karaoke because I am always on the go too! Take me wherever I would sing no matter what!

Please don't take this video seriously, because I know it wouldn't go far!

Impromptu Korean Dinner

We had time to hang out with friends on a Saturday night about two weeks ago... We left their place at around 1 am and we decided we need more stuffers to survive the evening. We came late to the party and sadly there's not enough food anymore and both of us were looking for rice.

Honey brought me to this Korean place in El Camino Real or Saratoga, that was the place his friends brought him into the night before our wedding. The town just appeared to me like a Korean-infested area as I've seen mostly Korean establishments. Unfortunately I forgot the name of the restaurant, but I will not forget how delighted I was with their great food and service. I would need to write a follow up on this restaurant soon as I get the chance to go back.

I am lucky I had my camera so I had a chance to take some photos:










One thing that makes me fall in love with Korean cuisine is the well prepared side dishes. It is awesome how they compliment the meat and the rice. I have also this impression that their food is healthier because they use lesser oil, and they always have veggies.

We are planning to go to a Korean buffet next Monday for our 1st wedding anniversary. Originally the plan was to have a 5-course dinner in a French Restaurant, but we figured we would not enjoy dressing up for the occasion because we would stay wrapped-up anyway and couldn't show off because its winter. We are sure another occasion will call for another fine dining event and we will see that we won't miss it.

I Have to Get My LOTTO Number!

Recently I have been dreaming of winning the lottery. It is insane yes, especially so because even before I realized that dream, I already have plans on how to spend the money! Oh how that's going to be a big problem for me if in case! My mother-in-law then told me there isn't a chance for me winning it because I dream about it a lot, but who knows?

Is there a formula of picking the best number combinations? I am wondering, but of course there isn't... The chance of winning the lottery is just pure luck and if I won, that means I must really be so so so so so so so so lucky! I am thinking actually of trying two combinations, and I have been planning of getting me a ticket since forever! Honey is just waiting for me but maybe sometime this week I will make up my mind. The first number combination would come from the very first fortune cookie that I got from a buffet restaurant here in America, I mean, who knows that could be it? The second number combination will be important dates to me that is a little different from Honey's important-dates-number combination, just a little swing and I might really win it!

I could only tell you a lot about my plans if I won, but then again that would really just sound absurd right now. If ever too, there is no way that I would announce it here in the first place! So, the best of luck to me!

Dinner in the Car


This happened moments ago...

The story: I spilled my lunch when I was about to reheat it this noon in the office, it was non-stop service at the bank on a Saturday like this and there was a crazy parade in downtown Los Gatos that it was nearly beyond impossible to grab some decent meal outside. I am having my first day of period and I was close to passing out. So, I told Honey that I would get us some Chinese food for dinner, and he suggested that we eat it in the car outside where he works, and I was like hmmmm, that's something new for us so I went for it!

It was like a romantic dinner kind of like a picnic of some sort, we laid the packaged food on the hood and started dinner inside the car. It was a cold autumn night but for two hungry people, it was the best place to be in the whole wide world!

I don't know, but I got a kiss before I drove home and it was just the sweetest! I am in love, and should you wonder why? =)

In N Out Burger Dinner Treat

Last night came as a surprise, shortly after I got home, Honey gave me a call and asked if I wanted burger, but actually I wanted burger + fries and didn't mention about the soda. All the while I thought he was just in the nearby McDonalds outside the house so I wasn't that enthusiastic, but minutes later I saw an In N Out burger meal!!! Weeeee!!! I mean, that was the best dinner treat! Honey is the sweetest, I wonder why... Haha!

Did I mention that In N Out has got the best fries in the whole wide world?! Their fries is just awesome! I wouldn't trade it for any other fries, I swear! It's fresh, its crunchy, and it has a distinct taste of its own that I love. This burger joint is really famous for its best burgers and top notch service. I'd say they picked the perfect name for their business, people just keep on coming In N Out all day until night! Highly recommended! Really...

So this thing about honey treating me to some dinner is not really that odd, I'm taking back my wondering in the first paragraph. That is just how he treats his wife, or else!

Trying Mohawk

For a change...

So I was able to convince Honeypie my sweetypie to try the mohawk cut. It has been like forever since I last saw him with hair, and I swear he really looks good with some hair! It was only 4 years ago that he decided to stop growing his hair and stick to home remedy shavers. He still looks good to me of course, but I wanted to add a twist into his hair fashion. It was just one of those days that I wanted him to wear an earring, a V-neck shirt, acid-washed worn-out jeans, and citrus cologne. I mean, can I avoid it? I just wanted him to look good.

I don't have the pictures here yet since we are trying to get used to his mohawk cut. We are getting there though, we got the haircut on Sunday, November 20. Give me 2 weeks to a month and I'll be able to show some visual updates... Until then!
