As I write this blog tears are really falling down my face. Running down like a waterfall that never stops, my night top is all wet, a box of tissue was completely used. WHY? It's because my favorite cousin, my other big sister and my young mother just passed away this morning due to heart failure at the age of 39.
She was diagnosed of rheumatic heart disease when she was 13 and that she won't reach 30 years old that's what the doctor said. And for that she really lived her life to the fullest. Her motto was "Better do everything now and die young but happy". Her family was so supportive of her even if they know that most of her way were unusual.
She was not allowed to take alcohol but she did so. She wasn't allowed to smoke but she did so. She was a party animal when she reached 18 til her 20's. I often call her "my glamorous sister with brains" because she really was. She loved to dressed up and wore RED lipstick while reading a book. You could smell her perfume 10 meters away. That's MARIE, that's my cuz.
She was the comedian in the family together with my real sister. She introduced me to gay lingo. She was my buddy. She took me with her when I didn't have a place to go. She supported me to all my ambitions. She's the first one to ask me what would I like to take up when I graduated high school. She's my sister at heart.
Did I tell you that she also risk her life just to be a mother to my godson Aaron? Oh yes, she did. She wanted to be a mom before she goes that's what she told me.Aaron was born in 1993. Then she said she's happy. She changed everything. stopped her vices and just because a MOM to her only child. But luck was taken away from her soon. She again suffered few attacks even if she already had pacemaker. Last month she was rushed to the hospital. I regret that I wasn't able to visit her as my side of the family was also in a brink of something.
Today, when I got a text message from her elder sister saying Marie's gone and I really don't know how to react on it. I think I'm too late. And I'm so so sorry I wasn't there for her when she needed me. I really am SORRY......

I guarantee that the whole clan and friends would really mourn because of her passing. This will be a great deal of a loss to us.

From Me to You! =)


Flying from one place to another is not just exciting. Most of us look forward to roam around the place, do some sight seeing, hit shopping area ASAP and for some meeting new friends is a bonus. For me, it's not just all these that I look forward to. I also look forward to where I'm going to dwell for a short period of time. Will I be sleeping on the couch like I sometimes do at my sisters' place. Will I be sleeping in a dodgy room where the facilities are just one step away from each other? Or will I be sleeping on a nice comfortable bed that would allow me to toss and turn all night long without kicking my hubby out of the bed. =)

No I'm not weird, I just love taking pictures of the hotel I'm in, which my hubby finds it unusual. He said we were only here for a short period of time and that there've been much nicer hotels that we went too and yet I still love taking pictures of the rooms I get in. Hmmm.... I haven't told him this but for me this is where I leave most of my marks, most of the intimate time and most of all it's where I can be me. That's why I love to take a piece of that memory with me. (I only took pictures not anything else! hahahaha)

Remember me posting pictures of the hotel in Kobe, Yokohama,Seoul, Pusan, Manila, Palawan, Cebu, Edinburgh, London, France and everywhere else I've been to? Ooops! Maybe not here but in my multiply site. =P But still right? hihihihi!!!

Now, I give you the new GRAND MILLENUM in Beijing, China.


The king size bed I truly fell in love with.



Plasma TV cum computer monitor.=)


The tub and the granite sink I wish I could have someday.


Nice clean smoked glass where it conceals a triple shower and the majestic toto loo.



Spacious closet for me and hubby and also an office table where I'm doing my blog now. hahaha!!!

There you go. Another one of the things I love to remember.

After Sophie Kinsella's "Remember Me", I'm again hook on reading. Currently I'm into this one ----------------------->

This is a great book to know about the secret beauty regiments of the stars like Catherine Zeta Jones, Jennifer Aniston, Paris Hilton, Charlize Theron, Cameron Diaz,Mariah Carey, Kelly Ripa, Scarlette Johansson and all the other A-lister around Hollywood. From high end brands to DIY regiments that they use everyday or even before the big walk to the red carpet. Amazing isn't it. Oh and Even their personal Make up Artist's have their say on this one.

Oooohhhh!

This is our room here in HK. Very simple and plain. The bed is my favorite part because here I could tuck myself in and feel warm while reading my book.

We only have lamps inside the room because hubby prefers it. He said it gives better lighting and adds drama to the room. =P

Thank You MAHAL Ko!!!

I miss the day when I was young and every time I got sick my sister or my mom would look after me. I thought those days were gone. Gone were the days that somebody would look after me, asked me If was okay, feed me and will and check out on me from time to time.
But Alas! I'm so lucky I was married to a very SWEET MAN. It' has been days that I've been having LBM.(and you know how it is to have this don't you) And been coming in and out of the LOO for not just a couple of times but a few times in a day or even a few at night. huhuhu!!!

Because of this, hubby was so considerate enough to help me make dinner and do the shopping though he managed to buy expensive fruits than we usually bought in the grocery and that was because he didn’t look at the marks that say ORGANIC. hihihihi!!!!! But that was okay for me at least he took some time off to do these things for me. (I'm so FLATTERED Kuno).Talandi ako! kilig ako eh.

Then last night he did the same thing he bought food for us so I don't have to cook anymore. He got me a donut, soup and a plain macaroni with sauce on the side just in case I don't like the sauce daw . O di ba? Tweeet!!!

You know what?t At the end of the day I could say that, I don't miss my mom anymore or I'm no longer bothered that my mom or my sister were not around to look after me. That's because I've got hubby just right beside me.

Thank you Mahal ko for being so kind and so patient!!
