driving from north to south


last weekend we drove all over bahrain (it's not that big, anyway) from muharraq to zallaq. it's not everyday that bambi and i have the same day-off because he keeps shifting hours, but i think when he gets promoted to DC we'll have the same friday off, probably by january...

(foggy thursday)

so anyway thursday i was halfday, then bambi came home around six after i finished with the laundry. their bbq party was not til 10pm so we drove for a while before picking kuya dom up, then Candy and ate Mariam. i think i posted their picture at their staff party last month.

imagine being at the beach in the middle of winter without a bonfire! but jan (bambi's duty manager and the official mother of The One Bahrain) brought so much food and she was so kind, she gave everyone presents and we had games & mingled, it was fun, i wish we also have a mother figure in New-Age, too. afterwards mommy carol side-talked me on how bambi was depressed while i was in manila, and ate mariam laughingly joked that she will tell me bambi's antics while he was alone.


from being my superior's 'little-something'...

---victor calls me 'ma petite artiste' which he translates to 'my baby artist' and my boss, mr farooq calls me my little genius (for whatever reasons remains a mystery to me)---

...nothing bothered me as much as Candy using 'po' when she's talking to me. i mean, im New-Age's baby and it icks me when im treated like an oooolder person. it such a drastic change to my persona. besides, she's also 23, isn't she? hehe, maybe because she is The One Bahrain's baby, too. or maybe she just cannot believe that im married already. well, anyone wouldn't believe it either. i don't care.

but i like her, and ate mariam, too. they're nice.

(YES, they have a 'happening place' here after all, and NO, we don't go there often) after the bbq party i cannot believe how the people danced there! it's so... well... i can't say! i was speechless because those who have partners are like- ehehe - touching everywhere! grabe, it's like they're not in public... i have never seen that kind of dancing before... yikes!

but apart from the foreign exhibitionists, wala namang pinoy na nagkalat. Er... pwera lang kay lola? hahaha! me lola doon na sumasayaw! in the middle of the dancefloor! lol!!!


we have no pictures because we didn't have a battery. and we were finished by 2 but got home not until 3 because we sent the three of them home first. through the fog...

(foggy thursday night)



then we woke up at 8am to attend the InterColours Basketball Tournament opening ceremony, they are the Bahay Kubo Team (the team carries the name of the sponsor), then after some psychedelic muse contest we went to Zallaq to pass the time since their game will start at 4pm. i uploaded our pictures in our bambi & me album but i have some here for previews. (i also added new pictures there and also in our manila album just so you know).

this week's highlights so far:


+ they had a staff meeting yesterday and they are now allowed to have highlights & wear snickers... what a change from their usual black-leather policy... their company is the coolest ever! +

+ i cooked sweet and sour milkfish last night! i can't believe it tasted sweet and sour! +

i fell asleep with bambi hugging me


i am terribly afraid of ghosts. even if i haven't seen one personally, im terrified to see one and i don't plan to.

Original artwork by Unkymoods.com, Image hosted by Photobucket.comfor my sibling's peace of mind i won't disclose here what happened this week but since she told me i cannot go to places alone. i am so freaked out i have to drag ate susan or bambi to accompany me wherever i go. they think it's so funny but i'd rather have them laugh at me than see those haunting images alone... i think i'll die.

so last night i was still scared to see something in the dark or something touch my feet... it took a lot of praying and concentration to get it off my mind, and even though i know it bugs bambi because he cannot sleep straight, i still asked him to hug me while i am sleeping. he really loves me...

i slept late because of this. it's so disturbing.


Original artwork by Unkymoods.com, Image hosted by Photobucket.comanyways this morning it's sooo cold! and a little foggy, too... i think winter has FIIIIIINALLLY started! i wonder how's the christmas season going on in manila? it's hopeless here. apart from our christmas tree at home there isn't any sign that santa is coming.


i am so happy! it's been a month, and i haven't gained but a single pound! im so proud of myself, imagine restraining so hard not to eat too much of my favourite yummy sweets, hehe!


bambi's office will have a barbeque party this weekend, (the one always have something to celebrate!) ill try to post pictures afterwards...

first month... what happened?


it went by so fast!

Original artwork by Unkymoods.com, Image hosted by Photobucket.comfirst, when i arrived here, at the airport, bambi gave me a rose. i can't believe i have forgotten to blog that! he is the sweetest guy ever! he was speechless) because (in my panic of being denied entry, i whisked myself at the immigration counter so fast i was the first one who came out, and he wasn't expecting me to be, uh, pretty? (hehe!)

his father took me to the airport, and i am forever grateful to be early because i had to go to cathay's office because i rescheduled my flight a day earlier, plus the line at the check-in counter was freakin' long...
at the plane to bahrain though, there wasn't so many people, i had the whole row to myself! and how happy it made me, i cannot tell! imagine paying economy with the space of first class. just the space though, not the food! it was pretty much ok except for the fact that i kept seeing explosions at the ground. i think we were in india that time. i don't know what it was, but there's definitely some flashes every now and then at different locations!

and i saw the biggest and clearest venus i have ever seen in my life! it was beautiful, more than seeing the full moon when i went home.



+ here at the office, it's the same. i don't know where i can find another office that can make me feel so at home and so relaxed, it's like an extension of my house, plus the fact that it's just walking distance. my boss said he's enrolling me to a web-design institute. ever-so-kind. i wonder when that would be. +
(um, how abut my permit? hehe!)




after newage's despedida party for our head of projects



Original artwork by Unkymoods.com, Image hosted by Photobucket.com+ our room is eternally cute, with the yellow bulbs, i can't imagine how comfy it would be after i set up the christmas lights! it's getting colder and colder and harder and harder to wake up in the morning... it's so cozy because our sheets are so warm... & it's so nice to snuggle up with bambi especially now that it's soooo cold. +

+ we always watch a movie before going to sleep. i didn't know stealth was worth watching, i snobbed it in manila. edi's voice resembles the king's voice from kingdom of heaven. very soothing - for a robot! +

+ and its our end-of-the-year goal to be thinner this december... he's not so fat, it's just his tummy is a bit bigger than usual. and i am not going to waste the 15 lbs i lost in manila by eating sweets again. so we stacked up on fruits & vegetables. although, i don't get it why i was 98 last week and i still ate that double chocolate ice cream that bambi bought me (he felt guilty because he left me alone in the house to attend their staff party) but when i checked the scales i still lost 2 pounds... weird. i'll check again later, maybe the scales are broken. +

+ im hand-washing our white clothes. kind of my exercise program. i hate doing taebo so after 10 minutes i pushed the eject button and drank green tea instead. and vowed to do the laundry myself.
(but after getting my wrist wounded from too much scrubbing i opted to wash the whites only. +

+ im still listening to ifm, but i can't catch tisoy because it's way too early here for his schedule. i miss his antics. +

+ bambi bought the original software ofsims2 and oh how we loved it! we played til 2 in the morning last night just making and decorating houses! he made his dream house and i made mine. his neighborhood is veronaville and i have the whole pleasantview to myself. so we threw the pirated software coz we cannot make a house there! +


+ we've had fights, every now and then, every week, from my attitude to his mobile that keeps getting misplaced. but we talk. and that's when it's sweetest. +

new blog, same old lazy blogger


i've noticed, bloggers either have a cool page (and boring posts) and those that have interesting posts have simple lay outs, so i want to be one of the few who have both.

unfortunately since my life is nothing more than ordinary, ive decided to just have a cool page...


Original artwork by Unkymoods.com, Image hosted by Photobucket.comso i had this template since march, i think, when i accidentally found blogskins, on the decision of making a more "cooler" blog, so since then ive been thinking what i should do with it... and since then, ideas came pouring in, but i didn't exactly executed them yet, until this week. eeeyaaaan's design is so simple (thanks btw), yet hip. and cool. so then i added some things... made it more personal...

so i made a link from my former blog to here, and now that i finished all the links and stuff im going to fix my former blog's template. gtg...
