Going neon

noreply@blogger.com (Lizzie) — Fri, 25 May 2012 09:15:00 +0000

I've been scouting for black colored strings for my 4-string bass because I know it'll look so cool with my white P.Bass. I'm still unsuccessful til now but sister gave me 2-sets of DR strings color orange and green from Sam Ash. So cool right? I think I wanna use the orange first hahaha. I wonder how the DR neon strings will look like on pedal steel guitar hahaha! Anyway, I'll probably change the strings later when I'm finish with my work.

Then I remembered our battle of the band gig next next week. Our theme is--illuminate. Perfect for the event. going neon...

Choice hobby

noreply@blogger.com (Lizzie) — Thu, 17 May 2012 08:33:00 +0000

I know I don't a serious sport as a hobby because first of all, I'm not good in sports. I suck on anything with a ball and chasing it. But I do envy those people who are serious about sports. They even buy the top of the line gear, down to last yoyo string. I once tried tennis with the hubby, when where were then bf/gf and believe it or not, I enjoyed it. But tennis includes straining the arms and wrist, that's why I quit because I don't want to loose that pulse on playing guitar. That's only thing I'm good at. So I made a choice. I'll stick to my bass for now and watch the hubby play tennis.

Dream house

noreply@blogger.com (Lizzie) — Wed, 02 May 2012 09:52:00 +0000

Our car garage is crowded which means we still have a lot of junk to give away. I know we've sorted out all the junks away, but we still have more. I think we really need to dispose everything, even our things when we're still kids. Mom can't wait to decorate the house. She even bought a sofa set for the living room and a bistro set like in here for the garage. Our dream house is almost finish.

Dreams to reality

noreply@blogger.com (Lizzie) — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 14:11:00 +0000

What comes in my mind when it comes to steel buildings are the high rise sky scraper in Makati. Condominiums are also a trend nowadays. My sister A purchased a condo place somewhere in Makati few years ago and didn't know until now. My other two sisters M and Zj were glad she did because their work place is somewhere in Makati and South area and they plan to live there. That will happen this year. Another accomplishment. Feels good when everything falls into place right. Next project--Condo in Tagaytay hahaha. Thank You Lord for all the blessings. We are grateful everyday. Time to make our dreams into a reality!

Pamper-ness

Hubby's been complaining about his back pains and getting worse. We've gone back and fort to the clinic to see the doctor. I don't want any more bad news but the doctor will see us again tomorrow. I feel so stressed about it. From where we are right now, stress is the least I need. After all this, I'm planning to get a whole body massage, spa treatment complete with those spa covers, plus manicure/pedicure and finish with hair treatment--rebond, highlights and hair cut. Yes! That's what I want. I'll do it in 2 weeks. Let's see...

Our trip to the beach yesterday really took the stress away. We had a nice time with the family and kids. Did nothing but relax, eat, sleep, and spend time in the sand and salty water. Montemar is the place to be. Life's a beach!

Diet

noreply@blogger.com (Lizzie) — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 08:36:00 +0000

Last time I jogged was a week ago and I feel bad about it because I plan to join a local race in May and I really need to practice. But the heat here will probably make me more sicker because I am already sick. I found another diet pill on line and I still need to find out more about the side effects. But nothing beats the old fashion way to getting slimmer--exercise and diet all the way.

Chat via messenger

We never fail to talk to MIL in the US because she always misses the kiddo. She sometimes calls on the phone and sometime we use voice messenger when Internet is available. I suggestion her to use vonage for voip service but she's not that technical and might need a lot of vonage help. So for the meantime, we'll probably use the old way to voice chat using the messenger until she's technically ready.

Separate trips

noreply@blogger.com (Lizzie) — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 09:08:00 +0000

One of the things I love to do is going to the grocery store. I love to browse and check on ingredients especially the imported ones. I'm a frustrated chef by heart and sometimes I pretend to cook like pro in the kitchen. But I do grocery trips alone because I know the hubby would not appreciate it. Just like he does. When he goes to the hardware store, he goes alone. I remembered I went with him and I got bored. All I saw was tools, diamond blades, ladders, gardening stuff and more that I don't how to use hahaha. So I guess our separate trips gives us more time to be ourselves and that's good.

The reason why I'm breathing, working, praying, eating, sleeping...
She is our life and we thank GOD everyday for her.

Congratulations kiddo! You got the whole world ahead of it. Keep it up!
