I left work early. Everyone did!

We’re all too excited for this weekend’s happenings.

Nick and I and some friends will be going to Camano Island to watch the 30 min fireworks show my father in-law’s friend does every year. Then of course spend the rest of the weekend laying in the sun… kayaking.. crabbing… and whatever else we can do there.

I am so happy! Thank you Lord!

Who says I can’t dream of living in a LEED certified house worth that much huh? And in the same neighborhood that we’re at now.

It’s crazy expensive but I have faith that God will bless us with a home that will be a place for family and friends to stay, rest and refresh themselves.

And who said that I can’t have a house like this by the water eh? hehehe!

In Jesus name! Come on!

Mama ni mama, Mama, and 11 yr. old Tanya

Isang hapon, nilabas ni lola ang kanyang baraha para mag laro ng Solitaire. Nakita ko ito at ako’y dumeretso sa tabi niya.

Habang nilalatag ni lola ang baraha inumpisahan ko na ang aking “routine” pag katabi ko si lola. Pisil sa balikat. Pisil sa sa kamay.

Tanya: Lola! Ang galing talaga ng balat mo! hindi bumabalik agad! Tignan mo nakatayo pa rin.

Lola: Susmaryosep! Ayan ka nanaman bata ka! Pinagtritripan mo nanaman balat ko! Magiging ganyan din ang balat mo pag tanda mo.

Tanya: Eh lola, matagal pa yon eh.

Mama: Tanya! Hindi ka na nahiya sa lola mo!

Lola: Pag wala na ako, wala ka nang mapipisil! Mamimiss mo din balat ko.

Tanya: Ok lang lola, nandiyan naman si mama eh.

There are things that I do or say that’s really none of my business. Who am I to ask questions when I really have nothing to do with that person or the situation.

It’s just stupid. Sometimes I just do things and not think about it. Sometimes I want to kick myself on the head for saying things that are just not my business.

I really need to keep my tongue shut. Let people be.

And so ends the rant about myself.

Got a papercut on my tongue as I was licking an envelope today. Major OUCH!!!

I’m going to invent a tongue sponge that will lick my envelopes. That way people won’t get papercuts in weird places. Like the tongue!

It’s a sunny Sunday afternoon and Nick and I are stuck on the couch. We borrowed 3 seasons of Scrubs from a friend, and this is what happens to us once we put on.

I’m all ready to go and do our errands but no I’m still here. AAHHHH!!!

Who loves Scrubs? holla!!! hahaha!

Here ye here ye o Mothers!

If you are a mother 0-2 years old children, you might want to visit Royally Rotten and enjoy their accessories for your little ones.

The children’s boutique owner and designer is, Kim and Erin (my sister in-law) respectively. On their website you’d also see the photography I have done for them.

Enjoy the headbands for now ladies… more to come for boys, and more accessories soon enough.

Well what do you know, this laptop makes me want to write and write and write. I feel like a writer now. hahaha! But with our desktop computer, all I do is work on photos and edit all day. Which I love doing of course.

I thank Nick’s parents for this wonderful new old toy that Nick and I have to share and play with. They both bought new laptops so they decided to give the old ones away. Which is not bad I tell you. Pretty stinkin good still!

This laptop will mostly be for Nick ’cause he’d need it for school. But he’s on the desktop pc now trying to figure out which router to get. (I am currently stealing internet from the neighbors right now.. shhhh)

Anyhoo, who knows, I might just start writing stuff again. I should. On the bus, I was thinking of a script in my head. I came up with nothing. Oh well.

Maybe I can be a poser for now. You know, be one of those annoying writer people at Starbucks, wearing their stupid glasses and downing caffeine the whole day. Ah heck, I guess I’m just jealous of them ’cause they have stuff to write and I don’t. Blah!

So that ends my story about the new old laptop, that’s not really a story ’cause I’m just blabbing away, loving the feel of the keys on my finger tips.

CUT!

It hasn’t really started yet. Ok well it has, ’cause it’s Saturday. But instead of going out, getting in the car and soaking the sun, I’m in front of the computer.

Nick’s still in bed. Saturday is the day I really let him sleep in. Weekdays he gets up early, goes to work, after that goes to school, then gets home around 10:30pm. We spend as much time as we can together, talking, cuddling and you know what. haha! We sleep around 1ish, and go through the whole routine the next day and the rest of the week.

He always gets home tired as heck, but he always makes the extra effort to be the most amazing husband ever. Even if I’m having one of those nights when I’m in emotional hell, aka pms. Sometimes, I wonder how he does it. I really do. How can he deal with me? How can he love me and tell me I’m the cutest and sexiest girl in the world when I am bloated and feeling all ugly?

Maybe God puts a special cloth in front of his eyes to make me look like an angel. hahaha! I do thank God for giving me the most patient and responsible man.

OK enough about the husband raving. haha! You’re prolly sick of hearing me get all mushy over my husband. I can’t help it, 2 years of marriage and we still love each other (if not more) like we did the day we got married.

So this weekend, we’re going up to the island (Camano Island) and hang out with Nick’s parents. Nick’s going to help them do some fixing with their rock wall, while I soak the sun and read a book on the deck. Oh the hard life.

We’ll sleep over til Sunday and come back for the Folk Life Festival. Which I’m really looking forward to ’cause this time, I will be armed with my camera and will not let the event pass this year without photos in my hands.

By the way, I have updated my flickr site and will be adding more photos in there. See if you like any photo and contact me. It’s about time someone buys my photos. hahaha! :-p

You guys enjoy your weekend!

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude!

My friends and I went inside Black Bottle to see if the place would have a spot for us to hang out. There was none. So I was the first to turn around to leave.

I walk towards the door and five feet away from me, blocking the door, I see a tall guy. I’m like “Hmmm that guy looks familiar.” He’s talking to some peeps and they’re all blocking the door. I still walk towards the door and try to walk around them. Then slowly it dawns on me.

IT’S DAVE MATTHEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m 2 feet away and my eyes are so wide they almost poppped out of their sockets. My friends and Nick are behind me and they’re oblivous that DAVE is standing right in front of them. WHAT?!?!?!?!

I walk around him, 6 inches away now, ’cause it was tight trying to get to the door. Dude! I could’ve been such a weirdo and hugged him! I thought about it. I just thought. Of course I didn’t do it. BUT IT WAS DAVE!!!!!! Standing right in front of me! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

Nick and my friends see the look on my face. Dave (one of my friends.. not the rockstart dave) thought something was wrong. We finally got out and I told them who the guy was by the door.

And they’re like “oooooooooooooh! totally didn’t recognize him.” Duuuuuude!!!!! That’s Dave man!!!!!!

So yeah, I was all jumpy and giddy. I couldn’t help it. They were all pushing me to get my photo taken with him but I refused. I can’t believe I refused. I was too shy to bother him. Crap!

Ok why am I even blogging this? It’s ’cause the Dave Matthews Band is my top top top super favorite band in the whole world. I have seen him in concert at the Gorge (a gift from my super awesome husband) but never seen him up close like that.

Finally, after two years of living here, I got to see Dave up close. He lives here by the way, for those who didn’t know. But yes, my friends have seen him before, bumped into him at the grocery, but no not I, until now. YESS!!!

I SAW DAVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok lang, maskina walang picture, I have witnesses that I was that close to Dave!!!! hahahaha!

Next time, next time… if I see him again (and I will) I will not just get a photo but i’ll get an autograph. BWAHAHAHAHA!

Na star struck ako!
