Happy Monthsarry BB!

It's been 98th months!!! 98 months together working out our relationship.

This month or year is another Chapter of our lives. For 98 months, we've seen a lot of changes as in a lor especially that we're both living in one roof. I've seen who really are you. I've seen how you get so excited about a thing, how you deal with everyone, how you think with a particual situation, how you get oh so freaking mad, I've seen how you always love cuddlesssss and hugggssss.I've seen how you dance when your drunk. I've seen how you sleep(oh! my weakness) you look like.

You may have changes that still right now I'm having hard time accepting it, but I know it's really a good change. It's a better-confident YOU. I'm just too selfish to accept you already go out from your shell exploring all things beautfiul/wonderful. Pls, yaw ntawng nang beautiful girls hap and please put some limitations ntawn, yaw palabi esp. sa you-know nah. okay???You're no longer a stranger to me even few months back, but now that I got to know all those things, I can help but smile at times coz those things amazes me. At times out of the blue, you just surprisingly surprise me with what you do and I love how you do that.

Bb, im reminiscing our memories on our blog right now. And I realized we've been thru a lot. We encouter the ups and the downs many times and over and over again. But we never seem to let go, although at times, we can feel giving up our precious relationship, tired feeling and tried deciding letting go (I guess, its just natural) but we never did. We always tried our best to work out things, esp. US, and that's one thing I'm so

proud of with US.

Bb, now that you know me more coz we're living together. I would like to apologize for every single bad things that I did. For hurting you at times, for blaming you at times, for not understanding you at times, for being soooooo selfish, for not respecting you whenever I feel mad at you, for being such a gahig-ulo-nga-gf.Pasayloa ko Bb!

Bb, I love you. Love man tka, "si bb cutecute lab man nako." hehehe I can't help but smile at you when you say this line. Sometimes it annoys me but most of the time it made me smile.Trying to make childish voice but you soound so cute and adorbs. Please don't ever change that Bb.

Bb, thank you so much. Again and again, for accepting me. For taking care of me. For telling me honestly what I need to change. For telling the truth though sometimes slap is much better than hearing those, but I appreciate it you let me know. Thank you for trying your best every day, everyday ba bb? heheheh trying your best to make me happy. Thank you for making me happy. Thank you for not giving up, for still holding my hands esp. those times when things gets rough. Thank you for spending time with me, or squeezzzing me in your schedule. Thank you as well for cooking dinner sometimes, when I get lazy. Thank you for understanding me. Thank you for everything Bb.

And Thank you for loving me.

Happy Monthsarry!!!

Happy Birthday to the man I love.

2011-10-01T16:57:00.002+08:00

Yesterday, was my man's special day. Don't mind how young he is as he will surely get mad for mentioning it here. teehee

The night before his special day, we went to Sylvia Park for his get up. Of course, the celebrant should be the most well dressed on his special day. And I saw before a polo shirt from Rodd & Gunn, unfortunately, the brand is not available in Sylvia Park. Luckily, we happened to passed by General Issue, store for Ambercrombie & Fitch and there, I found the polo shirt that would really compliment him. A red,navy blue striped polo shirt. When I saw him out of the fitting room, my smile came all the way to my ears. :) Yay! Bought as well, a short and a hat for the entire get up on different stores.

Then, heading back home and we're like talking/gossiping to the couple in front of us. And suddenly I was so pikon, irritated. Thus, we had a big fight on the night before his birthday. However, around a quarter to 11 he fetch me and we had a talk.

It was my fault, my bad. I really feel bad for myself. I'm sooooo soorrryy Bb, please forgive me. :(

And at exactly 12MN of September 30, we are in Mission Bay and me lighting the candle of his mini-cake. I sang happy birthday to him and give him a kiss. :) We then, head to the City and just looking for anything we could do for his birthday. And we end up in Esquires, having a cup of coffee and a slice of cake.

Then, we head home around half past 2 that day. I was not able to sleep well as we went home late, and I was thinking of our early surprise plan. We have an early surprise for him, around half past five Kapatid, Jappy, Ate Rhols and Me prepares our early greetings. We had miki made by our dearest friend couple, Kapatid Grasya and Jappy, puto and empanadas from Turo2x.

After having our breakfast, we then head back to sleep. We woke up around midday. Then, as Me, Grasya and Ate Rhols have a dinner plans. Again, another surprise for his birthday. I already book for a Mongolian Restaurant, Genghis Khan located in Epsom two days before his birthday. My reservation is at 7PM, the plan is the guest should be there first and Me and Francis will arrived late so that we could sing him birthday song. But the prob is, Francis has his own plans and is so stubborn to cooperate with me. Thus, the 4 of us, Victor, Ate Rhols, Me and the Birthday Boy, Francis, go together but we head first to Eden Park, where Rugby Game held just to kill time and without him knowing the plan for that night. I need to asked Grasya to even get the cake as it was supposed to be Ate Rhols who I already arranged and plan with.

However, though we had a change of plans but it still went just fine. We had eat all you want dinner. A cake from Gateua House, DC Shoes and Havaianas Spartan gifts and a Big Smile from the Birthday Boy.

To end his special day, we head off to Private Karaoke in the City and sing our heart out.

To the Birthday Boy, happy birthday and I love you. I hope you enjoyed your birthday together with us. And hopefully we managed to made it a bit extra special for you to reminisce with. Even though we had a change of plans, that I didn't even know what to do but I'm happy it still turns out just fine. I'm happily satisfied that we managed to make you smile and grin and sing your heart out. Happpy Birthday Francis, more birthdays to celebrate, more candles to blow, more cakes to slice, more wishes to grant and more blessings to receive.

PS: you still amaze me when you sing and I'm just staring at you, smiling how you change a lot in such a really goood and handsome way.

Enjoy fellas. :)

89th monthsarry on Wellington! (Second Day)

2011-06-24T21:20:00.000+08:00

Flashback, flashback, flashback!!!

Our second day in Welli is our 89th Monthsarry and we spent it at Te Papa Tongarewa, Welli's Museum.

Te Papa is New Zealand’s national museum, renowned for being bicultural, scholarly, innovative, and fun. Our success is built on our relationships with and ability to represent our community.

Our collections span five areas: Art, History, Pacific, Māori, and Natural Environment. Our exhibitions are interdisciplinary and interactive, and we have dynamic events and education programmes. We also have thriving commercial enterprises, including a publishing division, conference operations, and retail stores. [LINK]

One thing is a must when you visit New Zealand, it's their Museum. It's not just a small room museum but a huge one. Mostly have 3 levels ranges from Art, Maori, History and Biology. And on our special day, US with Ate Rhols stroll and wander around the museum.

Went to Mountains to Sea, then head to Blood Eearth Fire and explore the Maori Culture.

Ate Rhols and him did the Haka Dance.

After satisfying, our eyes we need to satisfy our stomach as we are starvingggg. We didn't eat breakfast that day! waaah! Before, we have our lunch we met Ate Mons with her two lovely girls, Remz and Christine.

Then, again stroll to Behieve Parliament Building [second time around]. Since, Ate Mons toured us around the city again.

We need to went home before 5pm since there will be a Send Off Party that we will attend later that night, which is the main REASON as well why we are in Welli. And the reason as well, why Mc2x and Tin2x we're not able to accompany us in the museum.

Head back home and we need to hurry for it's almost 6pm. Five minutes fixing ourselves and then head directly to RAIN, where the engagement party will be held.

Everyone were having fun, looking good and satisfying their stomach with many great finger foods.

After the event, Girls were having Hens off party which is the ever first hens off party I attended while Boys where having the stag party.

What a great day we had on our 89th monthsarry!

Mc2x and Tin2x, the two cutest couple I've met. Congrats and Thank you for the accomodation. Our holiday was a blast.

Wellington, New Zealand's Capital of Cool (First Day)

2011-06-24T18:12:00.000+08:00

Flashback, flashback, flashback!!!!!

This is a draft sits on my dashboard for ages. my bad!

Wellington ( /ˈwɛlɪŋtən/) is the capital city and third most populous urban area of New Zealand. The urban area is situated on the southwestern tip of the country's North Island, and lies between Cook Strait and the Rimutaka Range. It is home to 389,700 residents, with an additional 3,700 residents living in the surrounding rural areas. WIKI

We had 3 days vacation to Wellington know as the "Coolest Little Capital" and our first flight experience together. Our first time in Welli as well. An hour passed we arrived at Welli Airport and they said it's a "Windy Welli" but the we had a clear bright sky and not so-windy Welli welcome us.

'US" in the plane. firstimers together so mao ning ihas!..picture dayon...

View from the top. I think that is Mt. Ruapehu.

The cutest couple ever, Mc and Tin2x, fetch us at the airport and them, as our tourist guide of the day. We head next to a somewhat "dimsum-like" restaurant and feed our starvin' stomach.

After, a satisfying no-rice ~~'as Pinoy are rice-eater'~~ lunch. We then, head to the birthplace of LOTR 'Lord of the Rings' character. We saw 'Gollum' the fictional character in the fantasy novel "The Hobbit" and became one of the most important supporting character in its sequel, The Lord of the Rings.

Welcome to WETA CAVE!

Weta Cave, in the Wellington suburb of Miramar, gives you a behind-the-scenes look at Weta Workshop, best known for its design and effects work on award-winning film projects including the Lord of the Rings trilogy, King Kong, The Chronicles of Narnia and Avatar. [LINK]
Check out WETA CAVE's website : http://www.wetanz.com/

As the day start to end, we head to the city, saw different masterpiece that appears from nowhere and stroll our way to the "Beehive", one of NZ's Parliament Building. What we did mostly is took photos of ourselves.

We end our lovely day at Welli's Railway Station. :)

Kapatid's (Sissy's) Wedding.

2011-06-24T00:14:00.001+08:00

Kapatid means "Sibling". One of our closest friend in whom we call "Kapatid" is getting married. Tie the knot and changing surname to something his. Weddings are one of my fave events. Couples in love giving vows to love one another in sickness and in health, till death do they part are the most lines I heard.

Since, I arrived in New Zealand I already attended two weddings. And I'am the official photographer of the two. I'm not still a real photographer, uhmm! just playing around, practicing taking photos, enhancing my skills if there is any and I just so love capturing photos. Thus, I grab the opportunity in taking part of their special day and capture emotions and memories.

A week before the wedding was the second busiest day of my life. hehehe. I made their Wedding Invitation and edit or post process photos here and there. A lot of revisions, finalization then, revision again. I know basic Photoshop so, I got to made those paper stuffs/invitation/guestboard/misallette things.

The night before the big day, we are supposed to get early in bed but we need to finish things. So, we head off to bed around half past one. On the day of the wedding, Whew! I need my multitasking power again. Head off to get the bouquet, need to make up the bride (the bride just fix herself for I was busy taking photos).

After, head back home to fix ourselves and fix my hair for half an hour. I need to have a curly hair to suit my dress. And I made it, though a bit wavy not really curly. :)

The day went fine with a lovely wheather. The forecast was it will be rainy and cloudy but the day was so lovely. Bright sky, sun shining and two couple happily in love = A PERFECT DAY.

My ever first Wedding Invitation.

The Newlyweds with The Family, The Second Sponsor and The Friends. Yeah, you read it right we play most of the part. They consider us as their family here in Aucks, (same as both me and Francis, we consider them as our family) and we play most of the role in the entourage and of course, we are their friends. hehehehe. We are all in one package.

We just love 10 continuous shots and expect the result will be this.


My handsome boyfie on Suit. And the Best Man.

Us at the church after the Wedding, fooling around.

Us at the Reception, the food was great.

Us, The After Party in the house. Having fun and getting drunk.

And I'll leave you folks with a cute hug from both of us.

Till next time! :)

Sylvia Park - Winter Fashion Premiere

2011-04-26T14:25:00.001+08:00

DATE: Wednesday 20 April 2011

VIP SHOPPING: 6pm - 10pm

FASHION PARADE: 7pm

LIVE DRAW: 9.45pm

"Sylvia Park prides itself on bringing you the only International Fashion Show of the season and will bring you the latest trends on fashion and how you can look good and feel fabulous thiswinter." LINK

We head out to Sylvia Park on our 88th month. A different way to celebrate our month together. And as usual, I can't wear heels or any platform that has inches and inches so opt for my overused-fave boots of all time. As we arrived the show already started and we are hmmmm 15mins late, I guess. Blame it to the grocery stuffs since before going to the show we need to do groceries first. :)

This is my ever first time, to take photos on a fashion show. Grrrr, the person in front of me is so tall that it was so hard to take photos of the models. I was not that tall if I could only wear my 4-inches boot that would be a great help and thus, I was tiptoeng all the time while capturing photos. The reason as well, why I have to crop my photos. huhuhu

Sylvia Park's VIP evening was a family affair. Who would have thought toodlers are into fashion as well as they were in the front row at a fashion event, or those teen-age girls sitting cross-legged on the floor at the end of the runway. But when New Zealand's largest retail destination, Sylvia Park, puts on a show you can guarantee something out of the ordinary.

Instead of traditional models, Sylvia Park opted for professional dancers, who strutted their stuff, break danced and turned flips for the Autumn styled outfits.

The finale, was a breathtaking Broadway number featuring outfits from evening wear retailers, the girls looking gorgeous their red dresses, and the men looking handsome in Barkers and March Richard's suits.

US on our 88th month at Sylvia Park Fashion Show. Happy 88th month bb!.mwahh

He bought my cookie monster. I might share it to you guys! It's so patutesi-cute!...

^.^

2011-04-18T15:00:00.001+08:00

Moi familia! these fellas are whom we considered our family here in New Zealand. Since, it's Christmas time no doubt we'll celebrate it with them. I know that this is very late post and don't want to explain why it such happen. My bad!

On the night of Xmas Eve we spent it with our NZ family at Ate Rhols crib, our place currently. We had wine and delicious food to celebrate the holiday.

We had so much fun with the Ballart boys/Dota boys, he is one of them, they got their name for mostly his friends love to play dota and currently residing in Ballart, where he first lived.

Coromandel Peninsula

2011-02-22T16:38:00.003+08:00

A fine weather it was last February 18. Perfect for family picnics in the park or go swimming at the beach. A perfect day to get away from stress and worries. And the perfect place is to head out to one of New Zealand's premier holiday destinations, The Coromandel.

The Coromandel Peninsula lies in the North Island of New Zealand. It is part of the Waikato Region and Thames-Coromandel District and extends 85 kilometres north from the western end of the Bay of Plenty, forming a natural barrier to protect the Hauraki Gulf and the Firth of Thames in the west from the Pacific Ocean to the east. At its broadest point, it is 40 kilometres wide. Almost the entire population lies on the narrow strips along the Hauraki Gulf and Bay of Plenty coasts. The country's biggest city, Auckland, lies on the far shore of the Hauraki Gulf, 55 kilometres to the west. The peninsula is clearly visible from the city in fine weather. LINK: WIKI

It was supposed to be a 2 and half hour trip but we arrived around 2pm, we had just a 4 hours trip from Auckland to the place. Nevertheless, it's worth the long hour trip. The view is breathtaking. Very Amazing views. And Thank God for the friendly weather that day, a clear bright skies.

We want to visit first the famous Cathedral Cove however, the place was damaged few weeks ago and the stairs are so steep and muddy that going there is so risky. And so, we ended in Sting Ray beach, muddy stairs, but still the view is so worth it. Cathedral Cove We Shall Return.

side trippin by Ate Je's photography club. hehehe

On the way to Coromandel, "New Zealand njd nih". Cows and Hills and green green grass of home ~~hehehe~~ is all you can see.

We're already here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lovers in Coromandel. :)

A side trip in Hot Water Beach before heading home. The waves in the beach made it perfect for surfing. Too bad we don't know how. We'll just enhanced/developed our surfing skills. hehehe

"Hot Water Beach"? what I have in mind is hmmmm this is good, a warm beach to swim, but mind you the beach is called Hot Water but it isn't. It's cold and have huge waves that if you're not strong enough to stand and have a strong grip of your feet on the sand then it seem you'll be eaten by it. whew!

Hot Water Beach is a beach on the east coast of the Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand, approximately 12 kilometres south east of Whitianga, and approximately 175 kilometres from Auckland by car. Its name comes from underground hot springs which filter up through the sand between the high and low water tidal reaches. The beach is a popular destination both for locals and tourists visiting New Zealand. Annual visitor numbers have been estimated at 130,000, making it one of the most popular geothermal attractions in the Waikato region. WIKI

After the muddy stairs in Sting Ray pigging out was all in my head. Thus, before dipping ourselves to the hot water we just pig out.

A great day. Nice shots from Ate Je. Perfect weather. Clear bright skies. Full of fun. Breathtaking views. Beautiful faces. Sweet Smiles.

Cathedral Cove We Shall Return! watch out. hehehe :)

'til then, stay tuned in the next adventureeee....

Orew Beach

2011-02-17T20:24:00.001+08:00

the only picture i took, using iphone

Late post again, ~~lazy me!~~ Anyhow, a random day on the first week of February we went to Orewa Beach with our 2 lovely Ate's and the lovely Labli. :)

Orewa Beach is located 40 kilometres north of central Auckland. It is famous for its beautiful beach a 3km of golden sand that kids of all ages especially those young at heart, enjoy. We dip in the sea while they relaxed and enjoy the sea breeze. A stress free day indeed!

Most of the photos were taken by the lovely Ate Je, unless stated otherwise. I post process some of the photos she took that I super like. :)

super love these pic so post process them.

Jump!!!!......

The Lovely Ladies in Orewa. :)

Happy Hearts Day!

2011-02-14T11:08:00.007+08:00

Happy Hearts Day to everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!!

First hearts day in NZ with him. A bit excited (just a bit not felling well lately) for the day. No plans yet, maybe after he arrived from work will take from there.

Early morning ('round 4am), I made Nutella crepes for Ate Rhols and for him as well. I surprised him (I guess) by placing chocolate and my hearts day card for him in front of his car. :)

At this moment, I'm cooking for dinner-lunch and waiting for Ate Rhols and him to arrived.

hmmm, nothing special yet. Let see at the end of the day.

Getting back soon. :)

Happy Hearts day again to everyone!!! ♥♥♥

May this day be filled with chocolate, hugs and kisses from everyone. :)

Hearts Day end with the three of us in the house, Ate Rhols, Me and Him. Special occasions in NZ like hearts day, Christmas and some others are not celebrated the same in the Phils., here celebrations are quite simple since Malls close at 5pm and it's just a bit different.

Anyhow, hearts day seems to end just fine. No date in a fancy restaurant, no expensive chocolates and dozens of flowers. The most important thing, it ends with "x" and "o" more xoxoxoxox from the most important man in my life, him.

i ♥ u B, happy araw nang puso! mwah...

A day of walking, strolling and pigging out

2011-02-04T14:49:00.003+08:00

We ended our January in a Park 'n Pool. This month of hearts we welcome it with a lot of walking, strolling and pigging out. :)

A sunny afternoon last February 2, 2011, we started our day in Mitre 10. Mitre 10 is a hardware warehouse ~~the closest adjective I can described to the store,~~ anyway what he did in Mitre 10 was looking for some tools for Naughty and I was just strolling in the store 'till I found the perrfect kitchen for our house in Cebu. I want one for our kitchen, it's like you can purchase the whole set kitchen and set it up in your own house. Whew! I want one. I want one. I shall pursue it. A couple of hours later, starving and tired we ended in Noodle Canteen where we satisfied our starving stomach of noodles and noodles and noodles. ~~what more we could eat in a Chinese fastfood~~

After satisfying our starving stomach we head to China town and went strolling in boutiques. China town was like a divisoria in Manila or Tabo Sabanay in Cebu but inside a Mall. It's like during Sinulog where in many small shops can be found in Abellana or inside SM Mall. It's just like that. Then enjoyed some Pearl Milk Tea and Mango Smoothies and again, a Chinese store.

Before going home we decided to drop by in Panmure Basin. Panmure Basin the Wonder Walkers. The place is just 12mins away from our house. A fantastic and popular recreational facility. Panmure Basin is well known as an excellent walking, running, and water venue. With a number of different facilities available around the basin and being adjacent to the Lagoon Leisure and Fitness centre, this caters to many needs and both the active and passive person. Home of the local Model Engineers Club, come and check out their model trains and boats that are available for public use every second Sunday for a small fee. Also includes fitness stations, skate park. LINK

Perfect for strolling and walking. So comfy outfit and if you're lazy to mix and match grab a hoddie and a short pair it with an espadrille. Ferpect!!!! :)

Park 'n Pool

2011-02-02T19:41:00.002+08:00

We ended our rainy January in a Park 'n Pool.

One not-rainy-afternoon on the 31st of January we decided to look for pool that we could spend our day with. And even before I happened to familiarize the Jellicoe Park because when I was still in the Philippines I happened to read about it. Thus, we decided to spend our afternoon in Jellicoe Park and where Onehunga War Memorial Pool is located as well.

We entered the premises of the Onehunga War Memorial Pool and enjoy ourselves swimming and mostly dipping in the water. ~~hehehe~~ Onehunga War Memorial Pool has a 25m heated indoor pool where we mostly stay since the outside pool is cold, we couldn't bare it ~~or he couldn't.~~ :) It also offers Sauna, Spa and Steam Room which are great for relaxing after your workout in the gym or your swimming. Kids as well will enjoy the bubble 'beach' pool. It's one great place for family. In fact, there were many families having picnic in the park and enjoying in the pools mostly though, are Islanders. ~~hehehe~~

Opposite of the Onehunga War Memorial Pool, you can find one of the best known and oldest park in Onehunga the Jellicoe Park. A Victorian style park with formal flower beds and century old trees, a fountain, memorial arches and historic buildings. The norfolk pines in particular are visible from some distance away. The parks grassed open spaces are extensively used for recreational activities, including children's play, picnics and ball games. LINK: here

The place is a so-so. Not that good as he said but one thing is best "our memories".

Long Bay Regional Park

2011-01-28T10:55:00.003+08:00

Last November 9, 2010 we went to another regional park which is Long Bay.

Have you noticed that all my recent post always started with Last blahh blahh blaaah, ~~hehehehe~~ it is just because I was dumb and lazy last few months ago or just because I enjoyed too much in staying New Zealand that posting entry in my blog is way oouutt of my league that time. ~~harhar~~ So sorry really, for late posts/entries. However, I still want to post them since it's better late than never???? lame. ~~hehehe~~ And or the reminiscing part is much way more important.

model sa Long Bay Regional Park

Going back to Long Bay Regional Park. Long bay one word to describe "long" as where this regional park got its name. Long Bay is a suburb of North Shore one of the city of Auckland. It is a 30km away from Auckland, less than an hour drive from at home to the place. I would not recommend to go by bus as trust me it would surely be costly, not convenient and will take more than an hour or two to arrived in the destination. One more thing about catching a bus, if you're on time in the bus stop expect to miss the bus. Transportation in Auckland is not really good so better get a car and that is the most convenient way. *winks

Long Bay has a 6km-lonnnngg coastal walkway, thus why it's called Long Bay in the first place. ~~hehehe~~
It has a wealthy shady picnic spots thus it's great for family picnic. Has an open space for kids to just run and play around and of course, do outdoor games, and of course the long shoreline where you can just have a walk with the man you love and HHWWPSSP (~~Holding Hands While Walking Pa-Sway Sway Pa).~~

Finally, have the guts to wear bikini (two piece). If not because of all the girls wearing just two clothes. Some of them wear nothing in the upper part. ~~hehehehe~~ We just dip in the water for less than 30 mins because water is so colddddd...

Ate Rhol's bday and Hunua Range Regional Park

2011-01-19T18:22:00.006+08:00

Last November 6, 2010 we went to Hunua Falls a pre celebration for Ate Rhol's birthday. It was a fine cold afternoon and had so much fun. It's an hour drive to the Southeast of Auckland. If you live in Cebu you can compare it to our very own Kawasan Falls though I can't dare to swim in Hunua since the water is so cold.

The Hunua Falls are located in the western part of Hunua Ranges Regional Park. The spectacular 30 metre waterfall is part of the Wairoa River which carves through an ancient volcano as it winds its way north through the township of Clevedon, before meeting the Hauraki Gulf. link

After the pig-out and the fun in Hunua Falls we then head out directly to Ate Rhol's crib. We wait 'till 12mn and greet Ate Rhol's bday and started the unplanned party. Wheeeww!!! I was knock out with Smirnof...hehehe but then, I still able to survive the dance, the singing, the partttyyyyyyyyy and of course, my fave of all the picture2x.

The unplanned party turned out to be SUPERB fun. The pictures, drinking and dancing. Whewwww! Partynggg lingawa!!!!

Tron in 3D

2011-01-17T22:38:00.003+08:00

Last January 13, 2011 we went to Sylvia Park and watch Tron in 3D. My very first experience in 3D...hehehe...A bit expensive though as it cost 600 box equivalent to Peso. The cinema and the movie was well, worth it.

Auckland Domain

2011-01-13T00:07:00.001+08:00

Last November 5, 2010 we went to Auckland Domain where the Auckland Museum and Winter Garden is located.

The Auckland Domain is Auckland's oldest park, and at 75 hectares one of the largest in the city.^[1] Located in the central suburb of Grafton, the park lies mostly within the crater of the Pukekawa volcano. Click here for Wiki.

The Wintergarden's Cool House teems with flowers. All sorts of beautiful, colorful lovely flowers. As what I know those flowers blooms changing with the seasons. Luckily, it was the start of summer so we got to see the real beauty of those flowers. There were orchids, roses and flowers that I happen to see for the first time.

A walking distance from the Wintergarden's Cool House is the Auckland Museum, a steepy path as Auckland is really hilly.

The museum is a 3 level building and it's so huge like SM Mall in Cebu. If you don't have a map then surely you'd be lost. I remembered there was no entrance fee. They simply ask you "where you reside?" then if you live in Auckland , admission is free. So, we didn't pay anything and did enjoy a lot.

The picture on the left side is the building. It's huge isn't it? Can you see me? Hehehehe.... That tiny little girl posing in the direction wall.

You will definitely appreciate histories of the past and all things in life specially Maori culture, native people in NZ. We also went to see the Pacific Masterpieces and of course, Volcanoes which Auckland is surrounded by 50 volcanoes. And ohhh, we went to see the nation's pride: Kiwi Bird. We drop by in some areas like the Oceanic World, Weird and Wonderful and we saw Neeeeeemo and Dorrrry. teeheeee.

Below were the pictures in the museum:

And this is one nice experience to remember with.

One sunday afternoon

Here I go again, not sleepy and all. ~~teeeheee.~~ One sunday afternoon, we decided to stroll around in the neighborhood and this is what you'll see.

A Green meadow at our back yard and a small some sort of a place where bike practice there up on hill and downhill and us, doing sorts of asian post on that day. hehehe

The night that was...

The day that was...

It was exactly half past 1 in Auckland, 23rd of September when I arrived. I was quite nervous on the "Arrival Card" because I was brining with me meat crackling (chicharon) and some Cebu delicacies like dried mangoes and rosquillos. You need to make sure you declare all of them or not you'll need to pay the fine of $200. We were exchanging text at that time and I'm soooooo excited to see him. After 30 minutes of battling the Custom, from checking my baggage, to giving my expiry of visa. I then take the Exit with butterfly in my stomach and my drumming heart. I saw him, SMILING with a bouquet of rose in his left hand. He welcome me with arms wide open then, gave a really huge HUG. Gracia and Ate Rhol's was with him. It was a cold night, since it was the end of Winter.

He bring my baggage and have a lil "hi" and "hello"s. What I have in mind is, it might be a lil awkward since we haven't seen for year and half. But it wasn't.It was the same feeling when I'm next to him years back. Finally, he held my hand and I've been longing for it for years. He was still the same man I used to know and love. The same man who made me so alive. All missing/longing feeling was gone and I was there with him on that cold night smiling and pinching myself if I'm just in a wonderful dream.

We went to Ate Rhol's car and went to Ate Rhol's house, with a stop in Mcdo to get some early dawn snacks. I'm not in the appetite to eat something that time. After a couple of minutes, we then went home and for the first time I'm in the passenger seat with him in Naughty. I even look for the moon when we went out from Ate Rhols house and there it was, shinning so brightly. Finallllyyy!!!!! we arrived at home and supriseeeee. A disco light and some lighted candles waiting for me plus the cheesecake.

That was the night that we both were waiting for. First time I saw him again for a year and half. The ever first time that we'll be together again and shall not let distance again be in between both of us. But if it does, we will surely still conquer it.

A new chapter of our love. A new beginning for the both of us. And it started from the night that was....

Below are old pictures, my first few days in NZ. enjoyiiiee!!!!

Okay! I find this iBlogger app for iphone but doesn't really suit me for the main reason. You can't post pictures. Pictures say a thousand words and save your ass from writing and thinking on what to say. Thus, I'll give this Blogpress a try. Oh blogpress! Don't fail me coz if you do I'll kick your assss. ^_^

Unrelated note:

our evening desert last night. Chocolate fudge ice cream + apple chunks + hersheys syrup + with the man I heart == perfect evening dessert. I noticed since I came in NZ we're then into ice creams, any fruit chunks and syrup hersheys. Yummmmy!!!!

Reminiscing memories

2011-01-05T02:06:00.001+08:00

I can't sleep!!! grrrrrr..... It's already 5:25am to be exact and not even a pinch of sleeping dust hit me. Argh!!!!... Anyhow, I decided my overused eyes ~~since it's been awake for 24hours already plus I already finished 2 movies earlier.~~ to browse the net and see what's going on lately with the tumbleblog that I used to follow. I know, I've been ranting myself not to get lazy updating my blog... *grins*

I totally know this is a bit too late to do a recap of what happened for the 2010 but I'll just give this a try, to keep this wide-awake mind busy. *scansoldpost

January 2010 - Hmmm!!!! Shall I say, "freak out" and "tantrums" are two constant words that described how I was. And ohhh!!!!!!!! I made this.

I can never forget this and how I made surprises for him every month. I still remembered how I did this with of course, the help of my beautiful sister ~~BEAUTIFUL~~, Jessa.

February 2010 - It was that very same day is all I can remember last February 7. I don't want to be on that situation again. If feels awful. But Loving him from a distance didn't even matter at all only the missing part though.

And I remembered how freak he was when I had the journey of myself last February. ~~promise I won't do it again~~

March 2010 - Love definitely finds a way. March, March, March... I'm still going so crazy about the distant thing and I went so overboard. I mean, I am. I'm totally, overly, insane, crazy gal.

I created our baby "Francois Eloise Esguerra" who by the way gave him sleepless nights.

And he sent flowers in my office...............

April 2010 - Nothing much in April except that I so damn miss him. And as long as my memory could comprehend I was quite busy with something. Hmmm! paper works? or just trying to find excuse from lazyness. teeheee

May 2010 - If only I could ask one thing to last forever, that would be our LOVE. I cherish each and every moment with YOU. aaahhh!!! how sweet of you. This made my May blues to a perfect May.

and on our special day this is what I did to my room. *grins

June 2010 - was I getting lazy again and not posting more? hurhur.

This was what made my night " Fate is building a bridge of chance for the one you love."

July 2010 - ohhh!!!! He had this 5 days vacation in the South Island of NZ and I was totally freak out for the entire week. I was not even doing good at work. However, on a happy note. I got my visa on this month and was totally so happy and excited about it. Yeepeeeyyy!!!!!!!!!!!

August 2010 - ~~zipping my mouth because I'm guilty for being so lazy~~ On the other side, I was too busy with completing all things from clearance to little tiny stuffs. Oh! by the way I resigned from work and post the very last entry at work.

September 2010, October 2010, November 2010 and December 2010 - wt! I can't believe I was such a lazy asshole for this ber months. I only had 1 or 2 max for the entire 4 months???? ~~questionmyself~~ what happened??????? I should be posting and updating my blog because for the very first time I'll see my every heart desires "Him" and will be with him for, I don't know how long ~~but I want it to be long enough 'til my heart stops beating~~. Anyhow, posted pictures below and crossing my fingers that I need to update and post old memories.

This was at Cebu Airport last September 21. Those 2 girls are the best bud's evaaaahhh....

At Ate Rhol's house on Christmas Eve.

And recently, celebrated New Year with some Pinoy friends at Jing2x's house.

Seeeee, we had so much memories but too bad I was not able to post it. One at a time, I will. I will. I will post those memories in our blog.

And that's how our 2010 ends.

We are both looking forward to 2011, I know there will be so many wild and crazy arguments, so many sleepless nights without him, so many wonderful and happy dates, and a lot, loooottt of occasions to celebrate and of course, dreams to achieve and plans to fulfill ~~i have tons and tons~~. And still I want it to be with him, both of us creating happy memories together for this coming year and fulfilling each plans and dreams.

I do pray that this will be a very GREAT year for the both of us.

And to everyone else have a WONDERFUL and BLESSED 2011!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
