Ay di ko pala kayo nakwentuhan

Yup, am back to normal life as a showdog on Philippine shores (can't say the same for BB who's still stuck with work -- she's only relaxing her feet before taking a shower..that's why she's ok to do a quick entry.)

HK was cool, just because I have been staying comfortably in a hotel named after BB.

With BB relaxing at the hotel. after touch down and check-in.

BB's room with what i call the "exhibitionist bath tub." Look! the bathroom walls are made from transparent and translucent glass.

trying to have a holiday for a day. BB and I just went around HK.

Semi- Disney: Mouseketeering with BearLyn

Sham shui Temple : Ano kaya ang hula kay BB? About love daw e..

Aranque of HK. BB really wanted to bring home pets, if not a fish tank to start a mini zoo. But she's always on trips. who will feed us when she's away?

BB's namesake hotel. They say this was named after the richest woman in HK. (BB was actually named after her aunt who had great career karma. Sana meron din Nina na may good love karma he he) It's also said that this lady had no heir. L'Hotel Nina et Convention Centre. I wish BB would have her own hotel too!

I can't say BB enjoyed her trip, a lot of things happened. As usual she got sick before the trip due to stress, her presentation was kickass as usual :P But she lost all her data due to technology failure, her hard drive gave up on her. So super stressed out pa rin siya ngayon. Hindi naman halata si BB sa stress, but i know she's really worried, kaya din our trip had to be cut short. Ayan airport going home na.

More pics on my multiply :)

Starstruck si BB, starstruck si Bien

Getting to know some stellar people in the indie business just make me and BB starstruck. Idol lang ang mga wazak na peeps, even if you know them already as friends, still can't help not to be starstruck with their talents.





These are Khavn's dogs. Baka pag kumiskis ang mga balahibo namin, maging talented din ako gaya ni boss Khavn. he he. (Yikes, stalker ba ang dating?)

He he, BB was on official business with boss Khavn, excited preparing for his nththththth film, good luck bosses (Cherish, Enuh, Khavn, Nina!)

Xiang Ghang (lesson 13)

"Ee pey pi jeowh." (One bottle of beer please -- lesson 6) I think i will manage to use my little knowledge of "poo tong hwa" (chinese mandarin, refering to common language -- lesson 1) more this trip, i am so proud of my pimsleur audio book sessions -- i am getting somewhere.. ok, ok will try to go past lesson 13 -- where, places.. just because i manage to help a colleague understand a map i could not understand the words written either, (pictures, give me pictures!) i managed us not to get lost going to the hotel (which is named L'hotel Nina btw,) i get to understand that people are just talking about motherboards and not about me "Wo shang Pa-oo, nina." (refering to P5B-X MB, what's ur suggestion -- to kausap not necessarily me -- lesson 5) Sige, I am now encouraged to continue to study..

*****

"You can/ can't eat that!" I can tell my moslem colleague if the food that's just been served is halal (ceremonially clean for moslems.) Just because i'm through with lesson 8 -- a trip to the fan tien (restaurant naks!) I just have to look out for pu (which indicates a negative) then if it's chi (chicken) nio (beef)..blah blah. I am beginning to be a courtesan food taster for the not so brave tummies and the religiously restricted. (I usually sit beside a arab, caucasian, indian looking colleague if we are asked not to be seated with a region/country mate.. because this will assure me of an english conversation which is rare in my office turf.)

*****

I am the official beer (pi jeow) drinker for my boss (have to learn how to say sip-sip in mandarin.. he he) if anyone dares "kampai" (well wishing "cheers" tradition of my TW office to drink bottoms up with the well wisher.) to him, ako daw pambato niya!

I don't have much stories, just some thoughts, I haven't had any adventures yet. Hopefully after tonight, if the uber slave drivers allow us. Imagine, I have a seminar the whole day today, Sunday, mother's day. Walang puso, walang kaluluwa, mga walang nanay! he he he.. Buti na lang nagpainom sila kahapon.

Happy Mother's Day -- Mama, Joey, Amor, Lot (Mom and sisses)

Ooops I forgot, i already have a blog of my own, i should have posted it there.. hmmm guest appearance na lang once in a while (eto na lang yung once ko...)

Gearin' up

Our first trip together. Me, BB and BearLyn.. still packing but BB tied us up immediately, nice and tight. Takot nang magaya kay bro surname-withheld :(Boss Enuh, sorry sa pagpapaalala, nagtatanda lang si BB, kasi mahilig siyang mag second the motion sa 'yo, scared na mawala din gaya ng phone.. :(

Nakatali kami. walang kawala.

Hope to get great pictures of our adventure! Mabilis lang naman kami! Ilang tulog lang :)

Isang mabilisang patalastas

NOOD KAYO!

Damsel in distress

BB in Blogsquatter mode :

I have been living independently for 6 years now.. I am lucky to be trained by my dad in the ways of DIY Sige my local highschool also made major contributions for us to be (Beloved school of mine.. My pains and joys are thine.. (head tone falcetto please..) domestically independent. imagine my then thin frame used to carry 10 wooden (di pa uso ang monoblock) desk cum chairs every Tuesday because we were "cleaners." From one side to the other kareerin ang pagkarga so we can apply floorwax and bunot the floor after 2 sessions of sweeping before and after the move-chair-apply-floorwax-bunot-and-move-back-chair-activity. They say this instills the value of cleanliness, the skill of housekeeping.. We were taught how to make baby clothes from scratch (you can buy this at 40 pesos at any SM department store why bother) know at least 30 kinds of stitches (satin, running, ribbed, fishbone.. Loop the loop.. Ha ha.. 'Yoyo yon) C'mon uso naman ngayon ang designer butas butas!

I know how to fix the sink, p-trap.. Fix most electronic equipment, I know how to rig electricals and make my own boracay lamp.. I know the difference of screw drivers, wrenches, drill bits.. How to move jumpers in PCs, replace components, reformat, assemble and configure.. I have assembled a sofa bed, a bunk bed, shelves, I can extend phone cords, cables (ng TV), setup wifi. Solder, pukpok and lagare, etc.

I have to.. I have to explain this. I have to!!!

Nakakahiya kasi just before this blog, I saw my engineer guy coming from another unit, doing some IMPORTANT fixit duties. He he. Eto ang storya ko with him.. before I have asked the engineering office of our building to service my unit.. As in request for a crevice check on the electrical structure because for months.. Paisa-isang nawawala ang light/s ko sa kitchen, eto ang aming first interaction, ayaw ko sanang tumawag sa engineering office, DIY girl nga 'di ba, yabang pa ako:

I go : electrical yan, kasi napalitan ko na ayaw pa rin.. Tapos may sunog sa rim yung bumbilya.. Dati isa lang yung ayaw gumana.. Ngayon pareho na sila.. Siguro yung circuit..

Electrician : (tinker, tinker)

I go : baka yung mga kable diyan sa kitchen, kasi pareho silang nawala na lang, busted na yung socket.. Hindi ba delikado yan…

Electrician : (tinker, tinker)
Ok na…

I go : sure na ha. Di na delikado. Baka pagsimulan pa yan ng sunog ha.

Electrician : Hindi po. Ok na po.

Then he made me sign his itinerary. Bwahahaha.. Under his "task done in unit" space, it said in bold letters "CHANGE OF BULB."

WAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! Whatever!

Hindi pa naman siya "nasisira" ever since. So in this man's eyes I am just like a typical "can't-live-on-my-own-girl." I can't even change my own bulb.

Smiley

Dancing!

What joy!

Jumping!

Yihee!

Stephen Hawking in zero gravity! I just can't help not to think about it! Can't stop my paws not to blog about it. It's been a week/ 2 weeks? Been busy to blog. but anyway the smiling just can't stop. Suddenly zero meant everything! :)
