Upon arriving at A Venue Hall, we didn't expect that a lot would be attending. Slimmers, Fitness First and Golds sponsored the event together with QTV. One question we had in mind was where we'll place our things. Good thing that a baggage counter was provided at the far left entrance of the hall. I was thankful also that one of our gym mates brought her yaya who took care of our personal belongings. Upon registration, they gave us a baller ball with the Q logo and a bottled water container with Q logo which I could use in the gym. We weren't able to explore the area as we were doing warm up stretching in preparation for the marathon. It's bad to workout when you don't stretch. I was surprised to see a lady in her late 40's but is still sexy with her low waist sweat pants and midriff tank top. others were wearing fishnets, duh!

A new comer at Gold's Gym asking for an advise on what class to attend. Being accommodating as I am, I gave her tips as to what would be best for her depending on her interest. As we go along with our conversation, she asked my name. And I said Velvet. She replied with "Oh how cute naman your name. It's not easy to forget, madaling tandaan (easy to remember)." I asked for her name too, I might forget for I'm not really that good with remembering names. 3 days after, on my way to the gym, I saw her at Gloria Jeans with all the smile in her face shouting my name as I approach the area..."Violetttttt!!!!!!!!!" Duh! Talk about not forgetting my name :-( ha! ha! ha! I didn't get mad naman. That's becoming a common mistake lately. I still smiled and acknowledged her. There's one gym mate who's used to calling me "Yellow" - it's because I was wearing yellow when she asked for my name.

I saw Megaclinic when I went to Megamall last June. The same week, I walked in and found myself inside the OBGyne's office having my papsmear with Dra. Rama. Upon entering, the receptionist asked me if I'm a first time visitor. Then she asked me to fill up a sheet indicating my details and the purpose of my visit. I was then asked to go inside to give my sheet to the Nurse Station. After 5 minutes, the secretary of Dra. Rama approached me and told me that Dra. Rama would be available in 10 minutes time. True enough, I was called after 10 minutes. After a short conversation with the OB, I was then asked to remove my clothes and put on the hospital robe. I was escorted to lie down in bed, with my feet inserted on the whatever thingy that's at the end of the bed to make your legs spread apart. Stretching your legs apart where the OB could see your whole world is not funny.

His food became so famous that he decided to put it in one roof, the Blackbeard Seafood Island. (redcrabonline.com/blackbeard) I was not able to take photo of the Boodle feast we ordered when I ate there with my college friends last June. One, I was busy talking to bring out my digicam. Two, the banana leaf where the boodle meal was too messy to photograph after we ate. Three, I didn't enjoy the food, in my own honest opinion. Searched for blogs related to this and some really enjoyed the Boodle Feast. Some did not.

I've never been this tired. Our Kodak shop is still alive, thanks to Gleoh who had been working his ass off to keep the business going despite the gas increase and the hard times every Filipino is experiencing. I wonder when we can finally launch the Ortigas branch. Planning, reorganization, repricing, training, implementation and marketing would normally take us 3 to four months. Unfortunately, this took us 8 months when we added a new machine after renovation. Wawa naman tuloy eyebags namin.

He arrived last April 23 but it was my first time to visit him at our QC home. I was surprised to see him outside the house with our neighbors, i'm not used seeing him playing outside our home. Hay! He's growing na... Yesterday, May 1, I went to our home in QC to visit my family and at the same time, went to UP with my cousins, Ate Len, Kuya Louie, Geloy and Inna. We're suppossed to do some shoots at UP. It pushed thru naman but at a very limited time and area because it rained the time we reached UP. We stayed in the car and had kulitan picturan while waiting for the rain to stop. When it was tolerable to walk na, we walked but it drizzled again so we had to stay under the waiting shed of Sunken Garden. It was fun and i'm sure there'll be another photo ops with my cousins who are now fellow nikonians.

It's like eating a home cooked burger that your mom prepares for you. The size maybe small but it satisfies your hungry tummy with their 100% imported pure beef. Aarggh! goodbye diet again! As if! Hello gym na lang ulit. A few months ago, hubby and I would go to Greenhills or even Trinoma just to eat at Slammers. We were surprised when we saw a newly opened branch at Robinson's Galleria last month. Hay salamat, we don't need to run to Greenhills to grab a bite. It's so tempting pa kase to go extra shopping whenever you see good finds at the bazaar. So if you're hungry and you don't know what to eat, try this one. Very affordable at P50 for two pieces or P90 for 4 pieces. You may also try their Belgian Fries with different dips to choose from ala NYFD. Also available, Cheeseburger, Jalapeno Cheeseburger, Bacon Mushroom Melt, and Buffalo Wings.

I wasn't trying or attempting to make it even with him, basta hindi ko na lang sya kinakausap or pinapansin. I didn't even leave the house for 2 days, no lunch or dinner with him, I watched American Idol alone, and I had 2 days of locking up at our room and had a full sleep like as if I was deprived of sleeping my whole life. The first time we talked to each other was about the latest marketing banner that we made and a little about American Idol. What I noticed lang is that even if we fight, we always give each other food pasalubong. For 2 nights, he bought food for me and I did not even eat it. I'm so bad! An incident about our dog poochie getting lost the next day made way for us to talk to each other normally. Di ko rin naman sya matitiis noh! Sad manood ng American Idol without him coz we always guess as to who will be eliminated.

My praises to Richard - hubby's barber. He's Gleoh's only Barber for 6 years in a row. Had bubble tea and brownies after the haircut then went malling to burn what we ate. We noticed that FF's Megamall branch already opened. We were peeping through it's glass window when a membership agent approached us and asked if we wanted to go on a tour. Pretending like we haven't been to any of the FF's branch, we agreed for a tour. - On the left side upon entering is their reception area- On the right is the customer's lounge and the fuel / drinking bar where you get free diet sodas- There's always Fruit Magic inside FF Clubs- They have the different cardio equipments such as treadmill, stepper and glider - you can watch different movies on their LCD TV's that's in front of you - that's the reason why we're peeping through the glass windows- They have the different types of machines and free weights equipments- They have 3 workout studios ... http://velvetdsd.multiply.com/journal/item/191/I_Visited_Fitness_First_Megamall Sun, 20 Apr 2008 19:19:00 -0000 Guess What's in the Box? <a href="/photos/hi-res/upload/SAO7KAoKCt8AAGTvXlo1"><img border="0" class="alignright" src="http://images.velvetdsd.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/SAO7KAoKCt8AAGTvXlo1/Lcd%20for%20blog.jpg?et=DWIb80O28gobpNN1f7Z5YQ&nmid=&nmid=91198052&nmid=91198052&nmid=91198052&nmid=91198052&nmid=91198052"></a>Hubby and I was super excited last Saturday. Finally, we were able to buy what we had been wanting to buy since last December. But we gave it to his parents as a gift. Now that we have it installed in the living room, would be wanting to have one in our room in the near future. What made that day more exciting was when I saw someone walking behind us at the parking lot of Edsa Shangri-la Mall. OMG!!! Si Piolo Pacual! Grabe - super gwapo pala nya in person. As in super yummy! I was poking my husband with my elbow, labs, picturan mo kami, sige na picturan mo kami. I was already holding my digicam but when he's in front of us na - tinamaan ako ng hiya. Shucks!!! Bigla akong natyope - kainis! Eh kase naman mega japorms ako nun, naka make up pa, pano ko ba naman matatakbuhan si piolo and tell hime "pa picture?"

We had been sharing our innermost secrets when we were young 'til the time we were discovering the ups and downs of adult life. But you know, it's different when you get to meet your high school friends coz you always get to remember all the naughty things you've done when you were young. Last April 4, we had dinner at Abe's Restaurant in Trinoma joined by my hubby and Ghe's hubby. Jean's hubby was on a trip in Spain that time. Jean could have joined him but she chose to go home in the the Philippines instead, she now resides in Texas USA with her hubby with her brand new Escalade - Wow!!! We're still kulit and talkative and you could really talk anything and everything without the fear of being misjudged. Too bad Reg can't join us that night. We had dessert at Coffee bean after. Abe in Trinoma is better that Abe in Serendra.

He would always be sleeping by the door waiting for us to come home. Last night, MIL (mother in law) was bothered that Poochie did not greet her when she arrived. The dog was was very busy looking at something underneath the receiving sofa. MIL thought that maybe Poochie was trying to get his ball or was playing with the roaches. Yup, he plays with a cockroach whenever there's one. He would cover the roach with his paw, release it til the roach could crawl for a few steps, poochie will cover it again with his paw and so on and so forth. Until the roach dies of exhaustion. :-) To go on with the story, MIL looked underneath the sofa to see what seems to be bothering our dog. She was surprised to see a baby snake wiggling underneath the sofa. Ahas! Ahas! FIL (father in law) came to the rescue and killed the snake. It's the same size of the snake that my husband saw in the garage last new year's eve.

Gleoh's addicted to Bubble Tea's Almond Milk Tea with Egg Pudding while I go for Chocolate Milk Tea. Bubble Tea is a refreshing drink that can also be a dessert drink at the same time. Each flavor comes in different colors with black balls of chewy tapioca pearls that you could see at the bottom of your glass which you can slurp using a big straw. Sounds like Zagu or Quickly, right? The big difference is that it does not taste like medicine or preservative. Each Milk tea costs around P75 to P85, add P15 for the egg pudding. I am not sure if they have other branches aside from SM Megamall. Beside Bubble Tea is Breadtalk, which started in Singapore, an upper class type of bakery that we have around. Their bread is indeed yummy with an interesting name for each type of bread. My favorite is Cheese Floss at P55. There are 3 types of Floss in Bread Talk: Floss, Cheese Floss... http://velvetdsd.multiply.com/journal/item/186/Bubble_Tea_and_Bread_Talk Mon, 7 Apr 2008 17:03:00 -0000
