PINKY, ORENG and BERIO

Yesterday was a good day for me. Jay-ar and I were both on leave. He needed to go to Putrajaya to get his expatriate card while I needed to give him a company. Hehehe! Actually, he didn't need me to come with him coz he can go there all by himself. In fact, he can go anywhere all by himself. That is one of his talents. He is good when it comes to places. But then I insist of going with him. Good thing my boss allowed me to take leave as long as I finish all the tasks he just assigned to me when he learned that I want to take leave. I bet he thought I would not be able to finish it on time hence I cannot take my leave but he was so wrong. Hehehe!

Anyway, I was happy during that day because that was the first time (as far as I can remember) that Jay-ar and I are both on leave on the same day. So while other employees were in the office working, me and my hubby were going to places acting like a tourist (as I put it). Hehehe!

Going to Putrajaya was a long travel. But I definitely enjoyed it. We ate our breakfast at McDo at The Mall then we took the KTM Commuter train to go to KL Sentral where the interchange to KLIA transit was. We took this transit to go to Putrajaya. When we reached the immigration office, Jay-ar's number was already the next in line. In just a minute, the immigration officer called his number already. Sweet!

After Putrajaya, our next stop was Shah Alam. Jay-ar's laptop has this overheating problem. After 30 minutes, the left side of the keyboard will become hot and then it will abnormally shutdown. So we needed to bring it to Shah Alam where the Toshiba service center was.

These two places (Putrajaya and Shah Alam) are very far places although they are still within the KL area. But then, KL is a big city so going to these places took us more or less 1 hr by train. But even though it was a bit tiring and it was a long ride, I really enjoyed it. For one, I was with Jay-ar & another thing is, this doesn't happen all the time. Who knows when will be the next time that we can both take a leave on the same day and just pretend like tourists in KL and go to some far places. Hehehe!

But my fave part of the day is this...
Before we went home, we passed by The Mall and Jay-ar bought me a pink PSP! How sweet! Now I am so addicted to it and cannot put it down. I always charge it coz I always use it. Hehehe! I love it! I call her PINKY... very creative huh?! hehehe!

Another thing Jay-ar bought me... *wink* *wink*
Just kidding. It belongs to both of us. We are already selling our orange car (i call it ORENG). Anyone interested, just contact me or Jay-ar. I was telling Jay-ar that since the orange car still has no buyer then we have each car for ourselves. He has ORENG and I will use BERIO (the name I call the silver car) and since I don't know how to drive, I will hire a driver who will always accompany me wherever I go. Even though it's just a joke, he doesn't like the idea. Hahahaha!

Oh well, that's the latest chika. I will go now and play my PSP. Tata!

Butterfly Park in KL

Jay-ar and I visited the Butterfly Park here in KL. At first, I did not enjoy it kasi takot ako sa butterflies lalo na yung malalaki na lilipat lipat lang sa paligid namin. Ang dami tlaga. Natatakot ako dun kasi ang alam ko may type ng butterfly na nakakabulag. Tapos ang lalaki pa nila. Kahit magaganda sila, insect pa din sila. Pero nung nasa part na kami ng mga insects na naka acquarium, mejo okay na. Wala na kasing lilipad lipad. Hehehe! Here are few of the photos taken @ the park. More pictures will be uploaded soon! Enjoy!

Waste Allocation Load Lifter - Earth Class

Watched this tonight and I liked it. Although I liked Cars and Nemo better but it is a nice and funny movie that one should watch. Moral of the story: We should take care of Earth if we do not want to live in a spaceship and be fat! Hehe!

Food Trip

Cha celebrated her birthday last August 9 and Esti had his last August 13. That is why I had two lunch treats! Esti treated me and Cha at Sushi King last Wednesday with this yummy unagi bento...

And Cha treated me and Esti for lunch last Friday @ Cafe Milano in KLCC with delicious lasagna and pasta alfredo and indulged ourselves with super yummy waffles.



Friday night we ate @ one of the steamboats resto near Berjaya Timesquare. Chalap Chalap din!!!



Ayan, sa mga nag tatanong kung bat ako tumataba, alam nyo na! Hehehe! Ang sarap kumain eh...

Received Thru Email

The Man on the Other Bed

Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room.

One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window.

The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back.

The men talked for hours on end.

They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation.

Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window.

The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside.

The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm in arm amidst flowers of every color and a fine view of the city skyline could be seen in the distance.

As the man by the window described all this in exquisite details, the man on the other side of the room would close his eyes and imagine this picturesque scene.

One warm afternoon, the man by the window described a parade passing by.

Although the other man could not hear the band, he could see it in his mind's eye as the gentleman by the window portrayed it with descriptive words.

Days, weeks and months passed.

One morning, the day nurse arrived to bring water for their baths only to find the lifeless body of the man by the window, who had died peacefully in his sleep. She was saddened and called the hospital attendants to take the body away.

As soon as it seemed appropriate, the other man asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch, and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.

Slowly, painfully, he propped himself up on one elbow to take his first look at the real world outside. He strained to slowly turn to look out the window besides the bed.

It faced a blank wall.

The man asked the nurse what could have compelled his deceased roommate who had described such wonderful things outside this window.

The nurse responded that the man was blind and could not even see the wall.

She said, 'Perhaps he just wanted to encourage you.'


Epilogue:

There is tremendous happiness in making others happy, despite our own situations.

If you want to feel rich, just count all the things you have that money can't buy.

Today is a gift, that is why it is called "The Present".


On a lighter note:

Photos, Pictures and Snapshots

Mabuhay everyone! It has been a long time. I admit that my enthusiasm when it comes to blogging has lost. Probably because I don't find anything good/fun/extraordinary to write about. Oh well, there is one thing but I am not sure if it's more of a good or a bad thing. But since I want to be positive, let's just say it's more of a good that could be better. Hehehe!

Anyways, here are the links of my newly uploaded photos in my multiply site:

1. Lunch at Super Bowl with my Family
2. Lunch at Kamayan sa Palaisdaan
3. Laffline Night Out with Friends
4. Jojo's Birthday Celebration at Leslie's
5. Giann's First Birthday Celebration at TGIFriday's


BAGS! BAGS! BAGS!

Here are the bags I bought last weekend. Lacoste Bags and all other bags have 50% discount. So ang mga peeps, panic buying. Hehehe!






MOVIES! MOVIES! MOVIES!

Watched the movies below last weekend. I liked them both pero the best para sakin ang Mummy. Masyado kasing mahaba ang Dark Knight. I watched Dark Knight last Saturday with ex-sunlifers (jun, esti, manny and his wife) and syempre with my labidabi Jay-ar.



Joker acted really well. He was good especially with his tongue.
Yan lang ang wento muna. Chaka ko na ulit kayu chichikahan. Hehehe!
