Balikbayans Make Me Fat(ter)

Since June 21, I have been eating out with my sisters, non-stop... I doubt if my 1 year old baby still know who his mom is... My hubby also asks me when he's going to see me, I told him, he should've made appointments beforehand...

My sis' vacation is only 12 days... We just had to make the most out of it... Time flew so fast that on Sunday, she's leaving us again... The only thing that could make me "not cry" is to just think that the "eating days are over"... That I could go back to my old routine and South Beach Diet (which eventually turned to North Beach, jokes)...

Last Tuesday, we treated them at Pepper Lunch...

As I always say, I belong to the Chuvaness Army... Though I haven't seen her IRL... We do exchange comments on our sites but never got to be really acquainted... Somehow I had the impression that Cecile (Chuvaness) is a "socialite", and someone who doesn't speak Tagalog - it is because she is happily married to a Dutch Chef - Jeroen Van Straten...

Anyways, as I was guiding the Balikbayans on how to prep their steak, I saw Cecile and Chef Jeroen enter and talked to fine looking women across our table... I waited for Cecile to glance at our direction as I really planned on introducing myself to her... When she finally did, I waved at her and she walked at our table, I said, hi Cecile, I'm Jin... And guess what she said?!? Barrameda??? Oh my gosh, I thought I was going to faint... She knew my family name!!! When I said yes, she sat beside us and made a little chica... We told her that she's nice pala and she said, "oo naman, i am jologs, noh"... She is really, really funny...

When we were about to leave, she asked if I would like to have a picture with Jeroen... It is because I told her that my 6 year old daughter had a crush on him, (pinasa pa sa anak)... I was really hesitant because Jeroen looked busy, and of course, he's a private individual, not a celebrity, plus, he's white, I don't know if it is annoying for him to do so... But Jeroen stood and went up to me, we shook hands, and posed for the camera... He even bent down so that we could fit in the frame because he is really tall... After the shot, he said, one more, it may not work, and he looks really cool!!!
Now I have 2 pictures with him...



The most amazing part is when we said goodbye, he kissed me... Hayyyyy.... Nakakahiya because I said, oh my God, may kiss pa ako!!! Shocks, I forgot he doesn't speak Tagalog...

I heart this couple. They made my day...

Welcome Back, Emma!

Since April, Emma had been very busy making plans for her quick Asian Tour. She told me that she wants to see us all, referring to our batch mates in Siena... I did all I can to get all the contact numbers of our batchmates, texted them about the forthcoming get together in welcoming Emma... I texted around 20 people, half of them acknowledged, but never confirmed... Anyways, come June 29th, again, I texted every single girl I know who belonged to our batch, reminded them about the night's get together... 2 persons confirmed...

Well I guess I just have to accept the fact that not all people are SMART enough to acknowledge, confirm, reply, respond, or even just say NO... Sorry guys... alam ko you're cursing me right now...

Here are the people who spent the little time thay had with Emma...

I was surprised to find out that Emma did prepare a little something for everyone... She even bought expensive stuff for our "Raffle"... She revealed to us that she planned on sharing her blessings to us by preparing a Raffle for all of us who attends the "get together"... There were a couple of Sony Vaio laptops, Wii Nintendo, MAC make up, L'Occitane Shower Gel and Soap, Dolls, Toys, Blouses and shirts... Too bad (for the absentees only) didn't get to join the raffle... We decided to just get what we wanted and Emma unselfishly gave the stuff to us... How generous of you, Emma...


Thank you so much...

his predictions are unusually accurate...

So Excited...

In a few minutes, my sister and her family will be arriving Manila from Las Vegas... Last night, at 12 midnight, I stopped the DVD player and slept... But at around 2:21am, I woke up, startled, and thought it was already 4am, Paolo and PG would be late at the airport, picking up the Balikbayans... Marnie called PAL and was informed that the flight went ahead of schedule and will be landing 30 minutes before the ETA... Well that's rare and good...

So now, I am here writing/typing my journal at 3:56am, waiting for my sister's text...

Well, most of you know already that my son's celebrating his 1st Birthday on Sunday, and will be Baptized as well... I had everything prepared (I think) already, and now, it's time to prepare myself...

I had a very interesting day... I had my manicure and pedicure done, my lashes extended and my ears (vacuum) cleaned... Plus, I was visited by my thoughtful friend Patty, if not for her, I wouldn't have this picture taken... Thanks Patty B!!!



Well, if you are eating, postpone reading this entry first and then come back later after you have digested everything and have burped...

Anyways, have you ever tried the "ear cleaning" thing??? Where they burn a rolled cone-shaped paper placed near the ear opening??? Oh my gawd... It is so good... It was my first time actually, and a friend of mine (Kulasann) taught me about Nail Care... I actually have sinusitis, and it causes my ears to get itchy... She said that ear cleaning would be helpful for me since I generate ear wax more often than normal people because I have Sinusitis... So, I went there, and was really amazed by how the thing worked... Somehow the heat coming from the paper acts as the vacuum and scoops all the planted wax on my ears... After the procedure, the attendant showed me the paper and boy was I shocked!!! It measured more than a half inch long, and about 3mm diameter - each ear... It felt as if a tube was released from my ears...

I didn't feel anything at first... But as the procedure went on, I started to hear sparks, as if something is inside my ear, and I felt a little air pressure inside... It's as if I am on a plane flying on high altitude, but this one's not that irritating...

I told myself to do that at least 2 times a year...

Nail Care is located in Shaw Boulevard, Babyland building... I must say that the attendants at Nail Care are very accommodating... They work really fast... My eye lashes were done in 30 minutes... And I am very happy with the results! The only thing that I didn't like about it is the smell of, I think "lacquer" from the nail polish or something they use for the nails... The smell was really strong and pungent, my friend Patty almost got "high"...
