Check up!
April 7th, 2006 by kbrosalYesterday, I went to Makati Med for my follow up check up on my burns. Because that morning, I can’t move my feet, couldn’t walk and it already has blisters. waaaahhh =( So, I called my mom right away telling her that "Hindi ko na kaya talaga!". She just said, let’s look for a Surgeon, since burn yan, alam nila kung anong gagawin. So went to a surgeon recommended by my Mom’s Ob-Gyn. Naka-wheel chair na nga ako paikot ikot ng Makati Med sa sobrang di ko kaya maglakad.He said, it’s already 2nd degree burn because it has blisters already! Ouch! =( Parang naiyak ako nun. But he said not to worry as long as hindi ko tutusukin ang blisters, walang peklat. He also promised me that my color will returned in 2 months. (Sana lang talaga!) Since, maputi naman daw ako, madali lang mabalik ang color! (Sana nga lang!)…And in order also to avoid it and be protected from infections, he cleaned it with sterilized water, betadine and of course Flammazine! Then, he wrapped it with gauze. Halos patong-patong sa dami. I also got 2 injections (Tetanus). Both arms kaya parang hirap ako itaas kamay ko! Injured na masyado, may paa na, braso pa! Ang saket sobra! I’m just not comfortable with needles. Takot ako =(! He advised me not to come to work for this week. And by monday, follow-up check-up, that’s the only time he can decide whether i should come to work or not! Grabe, ang dami ko ng absent! I just hope maging ok na talaga! And of course, I wouldn’t be strong without my Labidoodle who’s there for me as always! Na-tiyempo pa na naka-leave siya this week! Galing! So, yaya na driver pa! I know he’s tired na din..with all the puyat! Kaya, Thank you so much my Labidoodle! I love you so much!
Reunion?
April 6th, 2006 by kbrosalWe had our breakfast with my highschool buddies yesterday morning! Hirap gumising sobra (di pa rin ako pumapasok! =p) My legs are swelling…sakit and kumikirot! And Rain was there to drive me… (driver?hehehe!)
This would be the last time I’ll be seeing Jasper and Caroline as single. They will get married in Wa, USA. I’m sure I’ll miss them! However, their church wedding is scheduled September of this year! Hope we could attend (fingers-crossed). As long as Jasper can shoulder half of the fare…hahaha! (Joke!). Sad to say, because he won’t be able to attend to our wedding this December, because Caroline (his fiance) cannot travel outside the country for her citizenship! Considering he’s also one of my secondary sponsors! Now I need to look for another one for replacement! Goodluck!

Accident Prone!
April 3rd, 2006 by kbrosalI really had a bad day yesterday, Sunday! This was our 1st Sunday again without a maid. Umalis maid namin dahil sa katarayan at pagka-strict ko. Hay naku… ayoko na ma-remember! Sumagot-sagot ba naman sa akin at pagalit pa! grrr =( Anyways, going back.. I cooked Nilagang Baka for lunch, sa baba kase kami nagluluto. Then, when I’ supposed to bring the nilaga upstairs and placing it first sa steps ng stairs, and when i opened the screen door, sumabit ung door sa cover ng pinaglagyan ko ng Nilaga kaya hayun tumapon lahat sa legs and feet ko! Lahat ng sabaw at sobra ang init. Sobrang naiyak talaga ako sa sket. I was screeming and crying to death. My mom and my sister we’re very worried. She put toothpaste all over my legs and it was so painful and i didn’t stop screaming and shouting. Buong bahay yata naman puro sigaw ko. Halos marining na siguro un sa kapit-bahay! I couldn’t walk dahil sa sobrang hapdi. I went to my room asap with the help of my sister and turn on the aircon and electric fan. Tinapat ko agad legs ko sa aircon at electric fan to ease the pain. Sobrang hapdi talaga and i didn’t stop crying! I was terrified of my legs baka magkaroon ng blister or something. Considering malapit na kasal… And nakakatawa nga kase worry ko pa ung niluto ko… Sayang! E favorite ko pa naman lutuin un! Hay =( My mom was telling me, not to worry about the Nilaga… ok lang un! Natawa tuloy sila kase masakit na nga daw ung nangyari sa akin, nilaga pa rin daw ang nasa isip ko! hahaha! =) Then, my sister call up Rainier to buy ointment for my burn. I couldn’t speak with him ‘coz I was screaming out loud. Sobrang sakit kase. After 3 hours pa yata nawala ang saket at hapdi but I couldn’t move. Pag ginalaw kase sumasakit! waaaaaaahhhh =( He’s just there and take good care of me as so what I need. Hindi kase talaga ako makakilos. Para akong paralize. And last night, di ako nakatulog ng maayos ‘coz careful ako sa paggalaw ng paa ko.. Sobrang hirap. Pre-occupied ang mind ko as to what position and dapat para di sumakit! And just this morning, thank God at medyo na-mo-move ko na paa ko! And I can also walk going through the CR. I was able to wash it also just with water kse baka kung ano magyari at magkaron ng blister at nagputok-putok! But sad to say, I think I had 1st degree burn. Mamula-mula kase … When I saw the marks sobrang naiyak talaga ako. I’m worried kase baka di na siya mawala. I have to go to my dermatologist to consult as to what medications I should take! But as of the moment I’m using Flammazine.
So now, I’m not going to work… I can’t drive and medyo sumasakit pag naglalakad e! I just hope matanggal ung marks! =(
Basic Instinct 2
April 2nd, 2006 by kbrosal
After we had our quarterly bazaar in Dasmarinas Village, Makati… we went to G4 to watch Basic Instinct 2. It was a tiring day though but worth it because we earned 4,000 Php out of old stuffs we have! =)
Synopsis:
After re-locating from San Francisco to London, best-selling crime novelist Catherine Trammell once again finds herself on the wrong side of the law. Dr. Michael Glass, a respected London criminal psychiatrist, is brought in by Scotland Yard detective Roy Washburn to perform a psychiatrist profile and evaluation of Tramell following the mysterious death of a top sports star. Physically drawn to Tramell and mentally intrigued by her, Glass, against the advice of his mentor, Dr. Milena Gardosh, is quickly sucked into her web of lies and seduction. The professional boundaries between Glass and Tramell are obliterated when she uncovers his basic instincts. A deadly battle of wits ensues, climaxing as Glass faces a choice that will change both their lives forever.
Critics Review:
Sharon Stone is back as an ice-pick-wielding crime novelist in this half lurid, half boring sequel that’s about a decade too late to capitalize on whatever heat was generated back in the 1992 original. And the same rules apply: Don’t get her wet, and don’t feed her after midnight. Oops, wrong sequel. But still, her same rules still apply. Don’t make eye contact is the first one, because then she’ll think you want to have sex with her, and she won’t stop talking about it until you give in. As far as the plot goes, there are more murders and more suspicions and more hapless fools drawn into her web of double-talk and mind control. But this time around, Stone portrays Catherine Tramell more like a desperate old floozy than a take-no-prisoners man-eater, and there’s no doubt she’s the evil one–which takes almost all the fun out of it. Well, not counting the unintentional laughs.

April Fool’s Day!
April 2nd, 2006 by kbrosal
Unlike most of the other nonfoolish holidays, the history of April Fool’s Day, sometimes called All Fool’s Day, is not totally clear. There really wasn’t a "first April Fool’s Day" that can be pinpointed on the calendar. Some believe it sort of evolved simultaneously in several cultures at the same time, from celebrations involving the first day of spring.
The closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582, in France. Prior to that year, the new year was celebrated for eight days, beginning on March 25. The celebration culminated on April 1. With the reform of the calendar under Charles IX, the Gregorian Calendar was introduced, and New Year’s Day was moved to January 1.
However, communications being what they were in the days when news traveled by foot, many people did not receive the news for several years. Others, the more obstinate crowd, refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the new year on April 1. These backward folk were labeled as "fools" by the general populace. They were subject to some ridicule, and were often sent on "fools errands" or were made the butt of other practical jokes.
This harassment evolved, over time, into a tradition of prank-playing on the first day of April. The tradition eventually spread to England and Scotland in the eighteenth century. It was later introduced to the American colonies of both the English and French. April Fool’s Day thus developed into an international fun fest, so to speak, with different nationalities specializing in their own brand of humor at the expense of their friends and families.
In Scotland, for example, April Fool’s Day is actually celebrated for two days. The second day is devoted to pranks involving the posterior region of the body. It is called Taily Day. The origin of the "kick me" sign can be traced to this observance.
Mexico’s counterpart of April Fool’s Day is actually observed on December 28. Originally, the day was a sad remembrance of the slaughter of the innocent children by King Herod. It eventually evolved into a lighter commemoration involving pranks and trickery.
Pranks performed on April Fool’s Day range from the simple, (such as saying, "Your shoe’s untied!), to the elaborate. Setting a roommate’s alarm clock back an hour is a common gag. Whatever the prank, the trickster usually ends it by yelling to his victim, "April Fool!"
Practical jokes are a common practice on April Fool’s Day. Sometimes, elaborate practical jokes are played on friends or relatives that last the entire day. The news media even gets involved. For instance, a British short film once shown on April Fool’s Day was a fairly detailed documentary about "spaghetti farmers" and how they harvest their crop from the spaghetti trees.
April Fool’s Day is a "for-fun-only" observance. Nobody is expected to buy gifts or to take their "significant other" out to eat in a fancy restaurant. Nobody gets off work or school. It’s simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant, for he may be the next April Fool!

March 26th, 2006 by kbrosalWhen we we’re in greenhills, I’m thinking also of looking for a perfect birthday gift for my Labidoodle! I ask him what he wants since nandun na kami he can pick one! Gusto ko kase ung magugustuhan nya… As usual ayaw nya na naman… wag na daw ako gumastos! Pero with all the kulit kulit ko sa kanya..ayun na papili ko din hehe =) Then, we went to V-mall (Virramall before), and check out some of the newly opened stores. Mukhang bagong-bago pa! Unlike before… hahaha =) Rain is like a kid, kung alam nyo lang, sobrnag hooked sa mga Pc games, playstations and most of all NBA. Yan ang pinagkakaabalahan nya ngayon, NBA 2006. He’s having a hard time playing NBA on my pc kase he’s using the keyboard. Naku, pag naglalaro un ni hindi ko na makausap. Bawal istorbohin. Hay! =( Kaya un controller pala ang gusto!

However, I myself is also a techy! I want to buy a leather case for my iPod! Hirap lang humanap ng magandang design. Ayoko kase ng silicon case. Parang it’s not worth buying. Ang chep tingnan sa iPod. I don’t know kung anong shop ung pinuntahan namin but it’s also inside V-Mall, I saw one! Rain told me na ok na yan. May strap pa and for sure covered na covered ang iPod mo! And right there and then binili ko na! hehe! Ang saya! =)
Goldenhills!
March 26th, 2006 by kbrosal
Saturday morning, we went to Greenhills to check on Goldenhills. I emailed them last week on the designs we want for our wedding rings. I got quick response from them. And they want me to vist their shop in Greenhills in order for us to discuss more on the designs we want. Ellen, who’s one of officer-in-charge is very accomodating and friendly. She showed us some of their catalogs and finished products. At first, Rain was so excited that he picked one agad agad! =) Kakatawa nga e… But siyempre parang nalula din siya sa dami ng designs kaya un naguluhan din siya. He picked more than 5 designs. Some are within the budget and some are not! That’s why we want them to make some adjustments to come up within the designs we want and within our budget of course! Grabe, ang hirap pala mamili! =) We picked 5 designs and they still have to email us the quotation of each rings. Rain doesn’t want stones on his ring kse e. He’s uncomfortable! Kaya we re-design some of it. Can’t wait for their quotations! We’re keeping our fingers crossed and hope it is also within our budget! =)
Emcee!
March 23rd, 2006 by kbrosalYesterday, I’ve been texting Lai of Impromptu– my coordinator regarding Emcee.. who can they recommend! She recommended the following:
1. Mallory Ferrer-Cosio
2. Melissa Ferrer
3. Cholo Malilin
I’ve texted everyone and ok naman very quick ang response ng lahat. However, they have different fee as well as to the package they’re offering!
For Mallory Ferrer-Cosio - I know I’ve already watched her host on my college bestfriend who’s also a w@wie (Trina ni Ken) @ Coconut Palace. Well, ok naman siya. The crowd was jolly, despite the rain. Inulan kase ung reception e… they have to re-arrange the tables and chairs, actually everything inside Coconut Palace, kaya medyo masikip! But it’s was a blast! Going back to Mallory, she’s fluent in english, no dull moment, perky, really knows the flow of the script and most especially hindi nagbabackle! hehehe =) Medyo meticulous ako sa ganon e since I was working in a call center…irritable sa ganong manirism. Good thing hindi naman siya ganon! =) For me, it’s ok! However, nag-increase na siya ng rate. From 3,500 Php to 4,500 Php. Pero ok pa rin saken! =)
For Melissa Ferrer - I don’t know anything about her. But from fellow w@wies feedbacks ok naman siya. She texted a bit late, late ng 1 day… but she’s sorry naman! Mukhang sa text palang parang perky din siya… mukhang madaldal! =P Parang its a good sign though! Her rate is quite lower than Mallory, and pasok sa budget! Its 3,000 Php! Hmm…
Lastly, for Cholo Malilin - I have no idea at all! He’s just being recommended by Lai. Medyo expensive ung rate niya its 5,000 Php. His rate includes one song and program flow or something yata un. Sabi ko kung pedeng walang song since I already hired a band. Hindi daw…kase included na daw un! =( Well, erase na siya sa list ko! =)
Whew! Ang hirap pala. I pencil-booked Mallory and Melissa first, then we’ll schedule a meeting with them together with my coordinator to finalize everything. Mahirap naman kase hindi agad mag-decide. Para naman ma-open pa nila ung date for other event. E sobrang konte kse ng mga ikakasal sa December 16 e! hahaha =)
I just hope I can decide as soon as possible. Goodluck! =)
