No. Not my wedding.
My weekend was too busy with friends' wedding-related events. It was Mabelle's bridal shower last Saturday and Em's wedding last Sunday, on my birthday. So I didn't really get to celebrate my birthday. It actually didn't feel like it was my birthday, except for a few highlights that reminded me I just turned 26. 26?!!!!?! Yikes.
- Mom's call. Grabe ang ingay ni Mama. But I miss that. I miss her singing to me 1 week before the day of my birthday. And all through out that week, she will sing a very irritating Happy Birthday song, her own version. But just hearing her sing to me again made me really smile and terribly miss them. I really miss my mom.
- Dale's impromptu birthday cake. He went out supposedly to have my car washed while I prepare for Em's wedding. He went home with a whole Sansrival cake because I craved for it a few days ago. That made me smile. Although I would also have to finish it off by myself since he won't be in Manila til next week :(. Good luck.
- Record breaking Facebook email alert. Ang dami talaga. One per wall post. Birthday ko nga.
- Greetings from friends and non-stop bullying for a treat. Too bad, I have high tolerance from that.
That was it. I didn't get to celebrate. I didn't even get to blow a cake (walang candle yun cake na uwi ni Dale). I didn't really have anything in celebration of my birthday. Dumating lang sya at lumipas. Isang taon muli...
Pwede extension ng one day pass? Hindi ko nagamit eh, hehe.

"pilitin mo maging sweet gaya ko sapilitan lang"
- Mama
- Mama
yun pala ang sikreto ng matagal na pagsasama ng mga magulang ko, haha.
classic talaga si Mama.
just one of the many reasons why I miss having her around.

It's been a few weeks since I got back from my vacation with Dale in Europe. I went with him in his recent business trip and celebrated our third year anniversary there. It was such an awesome experience :)
*Other pics will be uploaded hopefully soon *crossing my fingers*.
I've had this car since August. I initially planned on naming it Rave -- the name of my first car, a Black Honda Civic (I'm not sure about the year) my parents gave me on my 18th birthday. But then I changed my mind. Rave is a different car from this one after all.
While driving to the office this morning, I realized that it has been 3 months since I got my car and I still don't have a decent name for it. Any suggestions?
Here are the qualifications:
- it's a He, so it has to be a guy-sounding name.
- it's the Habanero Red Civic 1.8
- I want a name that starts with an R -- just to pattern it with Rave.
- err, dapat cute? hehe.
Hmm, ano kayang pwede...?

I heard this list from Mo's morning show yesterday, which, he apparently got from this site.
Return her messages
Many women gauge a man’s interest level by how long it takes him to respond when she contacts him. If his response time is poor, she might assume he’s just not that into her. Now, it’s no secret that women and men have differing opinions on what constitutes good communication, and we’re not saying you need to drop everything the minute she calls. She knows you’re a busy man; she’s busy too. What women want from men is a call back as soon as they’re able, as opposed to sometime the following day. This doesn’t mean you have to send an e-mail or a text of epic proportions if you don’t have time; a sentence or two will suffice to make her feel like you care -- which is all she really wants to know.
Kiss her for no reason
As much as they love sex, women also enjoy a nice, deep kiss that doesn’t have any strings attached. This serves two purposes: It lets her indulge in kissing for the sheer pleasure of it, and it also tells her you want her, and not just sex. Yes, you’re charming and sexy and she loves being naughty for you, but sometimes she needs a different type of connection. To really do what women want from men, try a surprise kiss for no reason at all; she’ll love you for it. Combine this with a little hand-holding and she’ll be smiling for days.
Dance with her
Simply put, dancing with a woman makes her feel special. Unfortunately, most men are reluctant to put their dancing shoes on, especially in a public setting. Guess what? While she’d probably welcome the idea, you don’t need to visit a nightclub to dance with your woman. She’ll be just as thrilled if you slipped a little Marvin Gaye on and danced with her in the living room. This would actually be to your advantage, as you have total control over the music. You’re also conveniently located if the dancing starts to get dirty…
Dress up for her
Dressing up to take your woman out is an excellent way to impress her. It’s not about the clothes; it’s about the fact that you find her worth dressing up for. It lets her know that you think she’s worth that kind of effort. Besides, a nice shirt and dress pants can increase your sex appeal by leaps and bounds; you may feel overdressed, but your hotness factor will have magnified exponentially. It’s true what they say: Women really do love a sharp-dressed man.
Remember random milestones
As a rule, birthdays and anniversaries should always be remembered; forgetting something of this magnitude will send the message that you don’t find her terribly important. After all, she probably memorized yours early on in the relationship, so if hers goes unnoticed, she’ll be utterly heartbroken. Here's how to do what women want from men: To truly impress her, aim to remember the insignificant dates, as well as the big ones. The first time you told her you loved her, the first time you kissed, the first place you vacationed together, what she was wearing the first time you met -- any one of these will turn her to jelly and score you more bonus points than you can shake a stick at.
Take on an activity with her
What women want from men is to spend time with their man outside of the bedroom. They want to experience life with their man, and this is one of the best ways to develop a three-dimensional relationship. Don’t worry; we’re not recommending you join her yoga class; rock-climbing, hiking, tennis or cycling are activities both of you can enjoy. If neither of you are the sporty type, try something else that you already excel at. Teach her how to swing a 9-iron or to shoot pool -- she’ll love the personalized attention.
Propose a visit to her family
Women love it when a man gets along with her friends, but she simply adores it when he gets along with her family. Even if you’re not particularly fond of her busybody mother and father, suggesting a visit (even just a yearly one) can really make your woman’s day. It lets her know you recognize the importance of family. This is truly the kind of suggestion that leads to a warm and fuzzy feeling, so don’t be afraid to suggest it.
it's the little things…
When it comes to what women want from men, the little things really do matter. The items on this list aren’t particularly difficult or time-consuming, but they are, unfortunately, very often overlooked by men. This often leads a woman to feel neglected, which in turn leads to nagging and other problems. Make her feel special, and she’ll go to the ends of the earth for you; try one of these suggestions, and she’ll feel like you've already gone there and back for her.
I also suggest that the things that a guy does while courting a girl shouldn't vanish when they finally become a couple or when the honeymoon stage is over. It's the littlest things indeed. :)
