Because my dreams are bursting at the seams

Yesterday, I ended my post saying I'm off to bed. That didn't happen though. Because yesterday I had another case of insomnia attack. Like really. I've been lying on my bed for hours with the lights turned off but sleep simply evades me. So at 4am, I decided to use my idle time and wrapped the gift of the boyfriend instead.

And since I’ve no extra gift wrappers from last season, I scavenged through my drawers and found these stack of brochures from my recent trip to Singapore and Malaysia. I never realized that I’ve brought back that much stack of junk home. What I’m going to do with all of them (plus the other stack of brochures I brought home from Spain), I have no idea, but I couldn’t find it in me to throw them all away despite the fact that their taking up lots of space in my already cramped drawers.

But I found one good use for them – I used some as a gift wrapper for the boyfriend’s gift. Cleverness!

my masterpiece. that little pop-up figure with two owls up on a date came from one of the brochures. they're so cute so I just have to add them up.

another angle. you can see on one half of the box is a brochure of the Singapore Flyer and the other half is from the brochure of the KL Hop-on Hop-off Tour Bus.

It's Monday, oh Manic Monday. My work this week starts at 10pm so I have another few hours to catch up on sleep. Bye for now. Babooshie!

A Quick Post

Ok. So this blog of mine have been neglected for quite some time now. There were so many blog-worthy things that happened but I just couldn't find the time to blog them cause I was so busy with work and work and work. Duh! Excuses, excuses, I know wtf! But see, I am an accountant. April 15 is looming. It's crunch time baby! Enough rants wtf!

As I said, a lot of blog-worthy things transpired during my hiatus, and the most important was that my boyfriend and I celebrated our first anniversary last March 29. *applause* *thank you, thank you* It's only our first anniversary, but in essence, we've been together much longer. This was actually our second relationship. Our first relationship lasted for only 2 months. But I won't bore you with the uber long story. It isn't pretty.

Anyway, on the eve of our anniversary, we took part in the Earth Hour 2009. We lit a candle and had a romantic candlelight dinner. No, actually we prepared our dinner quite late so we were forced to eat in the dark wtf! To kill time, my boyfriend decided to serenade me with his guitar and I was forced to listen to his horrible singing cause I can't read my friggin' book. But don't tell him I said that. =) (honey if you're reading, you know i love you)

Our anniversary celebration was quite simple. We went to the salon to get our facial. Romantic, right? No? Oh, whatever! We also went to Intramuros cause we were feeling a bit historical. I've got no photos cause the camera we used went bonkers. So much for capturing precious moments!

Before that, we cooked spaghetti which isn't really for us, it was actually for my mom. My mom's birthday was March 28th and since she was visiting at my place I decided to surprise her with a simple birthday celebration. My brother and my niece will also be dropping by. So I went to the grocery to buy the stuff that we'll need but when I was about to go home, my brother told me that my mom went back to Tarlac already. Major screw-up! I called my mom and scolded her for not telling me that she was going back to Tarlac already. That would have saved me from buying all those stuffs for nothing. But I couldn't blame her entirely cause she doesn't know that I was planning a surprise for her. So since it's our anniversary, we just cooked the food for us. At least, it wasn't really wasted.

On another note, we are going to Singapore and Malaysia this August. Yey! I'm so excited. I've been browsing different websites to see the places that we are going to visit. I had our itinerary all planned-out. All i gotta is save wtf!

I don't know what's into me lately, but I've been lurking on different wedding websites especially those of people I know. I watched their wedding videos and got all teary wtf! Pathetic! But I'm really a hopeless romantic. I even had the perfect wedding team in mind for my wedding, from the cake, the motif, the wedding planner, the couturier, the videographer, even wedding favors. But don't get me wrong. I'm not getting married yet. I still have too much baggage and I find it unfair to suddenly drag my boyfriend into my mess. In time.

It's the Holy Week. Sad that I won't be able to go to Tarlac where I usually celebrate the Holy Week. Will be stucked in my house instead with my books as company. Might as well go to the office and work instead. Haih!

An Early Birthday Present

Yeah, I'm turning 26 on February 15. Wtf!

Anyway, I received an early birthday present last night in the form of a free spa treatment courtesy of the Fitness First Spa. It's one of the perks that Fitness First offers its members; a free spa on their birthday. Actually, prior to last night, I also received a free spa treatment from them when I enrolled last month. Luckily, I was able to use it last week on the day of its expiration coz I totally forgot that it is only valid for 30 days upon issuance. Wtf!

Last night's free spa treatment was actually just a back massage but I totally loved it. They used the traditional Filipino massage technique called hilot and it was really great. I don't know how the masseuese did it but it felt like electric current was flowing through my body when she did a certain massage technique. Maybe it's the oil, or not, whatever. I wanted to ask the masseuese last night if she could massage my legs instead of my back because my legs really hurt last night from 2 consecutive nights of doing Body Combat but I decided to just shut my mouth and just be thankful that I am receiving a free massage. Wtf!

Anyway, I totally enjoyed my 2 free spa/massages so I decided to book the couple room for me and Jaypee. It will be my Valentine's gift for him. Awww! The staff at the Fitness First Spa showed me the couple room during my first visit and it was so romantic because they decorated it for Valentine's Day and there's even a bathtub with flower petals where we can soak ourselves in (or take a milkbath for an additional fee =)). Since Jaypee had been complaining to me for weeks that he needs a massage and I couldn't give it to him coz I don't know how (he had to content himself with my mediocre massaging), I decided it would be the perfect Valentine's gift for him. =)

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!
