On Wanting To Sing "How Much Is That Cutie In The Window?"
This song bit is dedicated to my dear little angel, Patricia Ann (a.k.a. {Pating})
To the tune of the chorus of 'How Much Is That Doggie In The Window'
How much is that Cutie in the window?
The one with the glamorous hair.
How much is that Cutie in the window?
She's simply delightful, I swear!
To the tune of the chorus of 'How Much Is That Doggie In The Window'
How much is that Cutie in the window?
The one with the glamorous hair.
How much is that Cutie in the window?
She's simply delightful, I swear!

On His Sweet Victory
As EXPECTED, Roger soared high to win his 3rd consecutive Wimbledon title and 5th Grandslam belt that firmly put him on his Number 1 world ranking. He played flawless tennis and Roddick looked like an amateur out there. Not even his huge serves could save him! Roger took home the trophy in straight sets, 6-2, 7-6, 6-4. You could really see how special the win was for him. He was sobbing right after the match and kept saying he still couldn't believe that he won 3 straight, a record that my all-time favorite player Pete Sampras also holds.
It was an exciting match! A sweet victory indeed!

Kudos to my favorite Williams sister, Venus, for beating Davenport (who I never really liked) and also winning her third Wimbledon title. She won in 2000 and 2001. That was a classic match and Venus couldn't stop jumping for joy. I would do the same, if I were her, after going thru injury and being ranked just 14. She was awesome!

On My Wimbledon Fever
It's gonna be one big fight for that Finals slot, as Roger tries to
beat my not-so-favorite Hewitt in the semis tomorrow night. For the ladies' draw, it's Sharapova vs Venus in one half. Not sure if it's Davenport vs Mauresmo in the other.
It's so exciting to see the top seeds still playing. Too bad Justine
isn't around anymore. Anyway, I am so cheering for Roger! Hope he bags his 3rd Wimbledon title. I'm getting eye luggages from watching the late night games. But couldn't help it! I'm hooked!
Kick Hewitt's ass, Roger!!!

On Which Diet Works The Best
I made an attempt to do the 6:00 diet but with my recent Baguio trip and Dencio's Camp John Hay's mouth-watering pusit ala pobre, my 6:00 diet went kapoof! The Atkins Diet worked for me before. That was when I worked my a** off to look slim and sexy in a 2-piece when I went to Boracay. I know I can do that again but the stress proves to be my biggest hurdle. You know that feeling when there's just tons to do and to calm yourself down, you need to munch on something? Grr... I am SO getting FFFFFFFFFFAAAAAAAAATTTTTT!!!
Lord, I pray for a whole lot of discipline, patience and will power. Help me!!!

On Our Cool Event at Baguio
Just came back from a 2-day stay at the City of Pines, where Bru, CS and I brought 'Kid Lighting' Paul Artadi and 'The Captain' Alvin Patrimonio to SM City Baguio for a 2-hour Meet and Greet session with their fans from up North. They were both immensely nice and fun to be with!
Paul is the 'what-you-see-is-what-you-get' type of guy, who walks literally, like the speed of lighting (his monicker really fits him to a T) while Cap is such a 'darling of the masses' and is genuinely sincere and down-to-earth. He's like a kid trapped in a man's body, really. He led us in prayer before every meal and would kid around and make really funny remarks and jokes. He teaches Paul the 'ways of the world' and Paul gladly listens to his advice.
Paul, a lover of spice, brought home a siling labuyo tree. Bru, CS and I went to UK (ukay) and got some really great finds.
Overall, it was a wonderfully 'cool' 2 days! Thank you, Cap! Thank you, Paul! Sa uulitin.
On Beauty and the Beast
I felt as if I was 7 years old again. Last 25 June, Bespwen and I trooped to the Meralco Theater to watch Disney's Beauty and the Beast.
We both crossed our fingers that by some pure luck, it's KC Concepcion who will play the role of Belle. Lo and behold, this streamer welcomed us at the door. Yehey!
Kudos to her fabulous performance! She's so endearing and is a natural. But B and I particularly loved the outstanding set design, magnificent (sobra!) costumes and brilliant cast. Jet Pangan as the Beast and Calvin Millado as Gaston were a sight to watch as well. It was so magical and fun! I truly enjoyed that evening!
B and I were super annoyed though with our seatmates. To my left, the old lady kept singing all the songs, from Be Our Guest to the play's theme song, Beauty and the Beast. I wanted to hit her with her umbrella! To B's right was this old couple who kept commenting that Karel Marquez (KC's understudy) played a better Belle. Who the hell cares?!
But aside from that, the evening proved to be a memorable one. Great production! If you haven't seen it, go to Ticketworld now and fall in love with Beauty and the Beast.

On A Fun, Cool Trip With The Team
We had another ocular yesterday. This time it was in Sta. Rosa and Leslie's Tagaytay. I am so proud of myself! It was the first time I drove all the way to Tagaytay. I must admit, it was pretty tiring.
It was Bru's first time in Tagaytay. He enjoyed the scenery and was excited to have his picture taken with Taal Lake as his background. CS and Paet readily posed with him. It was a nice, cool break from our very busy schedule. We ate yummy bihon, tuna belly and sizzling kangkong at Leslie's inside a cute bahay kubo.
On our way home, we bought langka (my all time favorite fruit after suhang Davao) and bananas. We only traveled for an hour and a half! No traffic at all, which was great for me.
Here's a picture of the three at the entrance of Leslie's. Look at Bru's sheepish grin. Hahaha!

Song playing right now:
I'm listening to Wave but I don't know the title of the song that's playing. Tonight You're Mine yata.
Five songs I listen to a lot, or mean a lot to me:
1. Crave by Marc Dorsey
2. Knocks Me Off My Feet by Stevie Wonder
3. Don't Say You Love Me by The Corrs
4. Crazy by Javier
5. Anything on Wave's Wave Back Wednesday
People I'm passing this to:
Well, everyone who reads my blog. =)

On Today's Funny Moments
DJ Pam (Wave 89.1): So, tell us your most shining moment?
Female Caller: My most shining moment was when I gave birth to my first baby.
DJ Pam: Wow, is it a boy or a girl?
Female Caller: Is it a boy. (Bwaaaaaahahaha!)
Bru was preparing the delivery receipt for one of our suppliers. I, on the other hand, was watching Laban o Bawi and answering all the questions out loud...
Manuel: Bru (pertaining to moi), anong apelyido ni Rowena?
(Background: Joey de Leon: Anong queen ang ginampanan ni Ate Vi na nag-uumpisa sa B?May: Burlesk.)
Manuel: Pa'no mo spell yung Burlesk? (Hahaha!)
* My supplier's surname is Lindayag.

On Walking By The Bay II
Magpapatalo ba naman ako? Of course, took a pic of myself too! Hahaha!
Para akong nasa Boracay.

On Walking By The Bay
Si Bru... parang OFW na ngayon lang nakatapak ng Pilipinas. This is Bru posing along the bay at Roxas Boulevard. We went there last night to do an ocular of the Baywalk strip for one of our upcoming events.
My hats off to Mayor Lito Atienza for a job well done. The food joints there are clean. There's security with watch dogs going around to ensure the safety of the customers. Parking is no problem as well. You can get to park along Roxas from 7pm onwards.
We ate at this place called Panay Kalipay, which had a live band and yummy inihaw na pusit. I had a good time. The air didn't smell like garbage and the people 'gimmicking' there were pleasant-looking (hehe) and decent. There were a lot of foreigners!
Hope we can work out our proposed bar tour there. It'll be fun, for sure!

On A Very GAY Birthday Celebration
Happy birthday, Lucky...
... Happy birthday, Lucky...
... Happy birthday, happy birthday...
... Happy birthday, Lucky!!!
Happy 26th birthday to my dearest Gay Magnet (a.k.a Lucky Manzano to the people around him)! Two days ago, his sweet girlfriend Cla sent me an SMS inviting me to CPK in Shangri-La Mall for a surprise birthday party for GM. She only invited his closest friends, to which of course, I was truly touched.
Cla and my newfound buddy Dr. Tin were already there when I arrived. Soon after, some of his other girl friends came. We were 6 all in all, plus Cla and GM. We had yummy marinara, 5-cheese pizza, angel hair pasta, salad (which I surprisingly liked) and this sinful cake that I just stared at because it looked too sweet, hehehe.
GM has super nice friends, which says a lot about how wonderful he really is. I was happy to finally meet Cla, whom I absolutely adore! he's simple, kind, very pretty and pleasant, and most importantly, genuinely sincere.
GM deserves his happiness and I am so proud to be his friend. Happy birthday again, Lucky Manzano (hahaha!). Hope you liked my gift! And even if you're leaving for the States (with the possibility of staying there for good), I bet the distance won't change the kind of friendship we have. Cheers dahil magka-edad na ulit tayo!!!

On a Delightfully Sweet Surprise
Today, I had two visitors in the office. Felips was here to fix my e-mail system and he's just so dependable! I'm glad he pushed me to really get DSL. It will most definitely improve operations here in the agency.
The second visitor proved to be a huge surprise! 'Drew' officially took the leap and got out of his current job to pursue a business I know he'll manage perfectly. I was so touched he came over to see me. He brought me delicious chicken strips from Burgoo (aww...) and lounged here a bit to share with me how pleased and at the same time, scared he was of his new venture. I believe in him and I am mighty pleased with myself that I was an influence in his decision to start his own business. It was so nice to see him talaga.
Today was SWEET! And to top it off, it's the weekend!!! Yipee!!!

On A Weird Kind of Reunion
I did not have the strength to get up this morning. The whole gang went home at 2am from the wake of Claire's dad. It was nice to see...
... the mom of Jennifer Borines...
... early birds JL and Nap...
... then Gay Magnet (who I missed immensely!)...
... then Merwin Henlin (minus the siomai)...
... then Felips and DI Mark (as in Dance Instructor talaga!)...
... then Congressman Otep...
... and finally Kristian 'Bodyguard' Arayata...
Too bad Darwin wasn't able to make it. It was sad that we all had to see each other because of a very unfortunate incident. I was glad to see Claire and I pray for courage and strength for her and her family. Hopefully, Churva Adrian and I can make it to the burial on Sunday.
May the soul of Mr. Rufino Cortez rest in peace.

On One Tiger-rific Trip
CS is bound for Davao and Cagayan de Oro tomorrow and Saturday, still for our PBA event. She's be the official 'bodyguard' of Ali Peek and John Arigo of the Coca Cola Tigers.
Have a wonderful time, CS! Will pray for your safe journey.
Suha, suha, suha... Hehehe.
==
And good news!!! Our PBA 30th anniversary mall tour extends to the Robinson's Malls! Yipee!!! The leg starts in August. I am so pleased with the way things are going for the agency. Thank you so much, Jesus and Mama Mary!

On A Sad Arrival & Departure
My grade school classmate, who was also our Salutatorian, Claire, works in China as a teacher. We started being YM buddies early this year and I always enjoy our exchanges of stories, old and new that I even told her once my disappointment that we only became real friends just now.
She was going to help me fix our Grade 6 reunion when she comes home in July. But a surprise IM from her two days ago informed me that she will be coming home because her father passed away. Her expected arrival tonight is at 9pm. Nappy, Felipe, John La, Kristian, Otep, Merwin and I will be at the wake tonight. Our other classmates Rowena, Adrian and Darwin also sent their condolences thru me. I cannot imagine having to go thru this same situation. I dread thinking about it.
And having said this, my entry ends here.
