Finally, i've decided to get my own domain name through blogger. I have always wanted to have one but have been afraid of the changes that I will have to face in terms of blog technicalities. That's why I decided to get it from blogger since i'm more familiar with it right now. Later on, if get the hang of it, I might switch to wordpress just like some of my blog friends.
I'll try to improve my sites design so expect changes in the coming days.
So guys, please update your link. My site's address is now....
Hope you'll continue to visit my site :)

In the 8 Facts About Yourself, you share 8 things that your readers don’t know about you. Then at the end you tag at least 8 other bloggers to keep the fun going. Here are the rules.
RULES:
* Each blogger must post these rules first.
* Each blogger starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
* Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their eight things and postthese rules.
* At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
* Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.
****My list:
1. I'm a registered Civil Engineer.
2. I have always been fascinated with interior design.
3. I love to collect fashion and lifestyle magazines (local and sometimes foreign).
4. I am a Sharonian since God knows when.
5. I super dooper love bags!!!
6. I'm addicted to spa massages.
7. I'm addicted to chocolates (I can even finish a bar in seconds)
8. I love going to the malls.

How long did you date? almost 3 years.
How old is he? He’s 34.
Who eats more? He does! But i'm trying to control his carb intake due to high cholesterol.
Who said “I love you” first? Him of course! Over the phone.
Who is taller? He's much taller than me. I'm around 5' 2" as against his 5'8" frame
Who sings better? Me syempre! But he can also carry a tune.
Who is smarter? Just like Jane, I'd say me! Hahaha. Street Smart I should say but when it comes to the technicalities and everything, it's my hubby. But wait! He graduated pala valedictorian in high school and was able to ranked in the board exams and finish his masteral degree ( I was short of my thesis) on time. Not to mention he has other cerfiticate in security management and has passed two board exams. Oh well, sige na nga, he's the smarter one, lol.
Whose temper is worse? I easily get mad but fades away agad din naman. He has longer temper but when he does loses it, all hell break lose! Joke! I haven't seen him that mad pa. Mabati ako eh :)
Who does the laundry? This used to be my hubby's favorite pastime hahaha. He's amazed with how an automatic washing machine works. He can watch T.V. and tinker on the computer while doing laundry. But now that we have a helper, graduate na sya dito, lol.
Who does the dishes? The helper also.
Who sleeps on the right side of the bed? Me!
Who pays the bills? HIM!
Who mows the lawn? Unfortunately, we dont have one.
Who cooks dinner? The helper. Trained by me syempre. If I have free time, I do the cooking myself (which is rarely nowadays)
Who drives when you are together? Him always. Dunno how eh. Pero i'll study na raw soon :)
Who is more stubborn? Admittedly, ako yata. Teehee.
Who kissed who first? My husband syempre.
Who is the first to admit when they are wrong? Yes Jane, no one!
Whose parents do you see the most? Al’s. We live in the same compound kasi.
Who proposed? He did.
Who is more sensitive? Me.
Who has more friends? Me.
Who has more siblings? Me.
Who wears the pants in the family? My husband of course. But, he knows that I'm an educated woman and has her own opinion and he respects that. I'm free to make suggestions and even sometimes make decisions :)
I think everybody has been tagged already with this, so I won't tag anybody na. Thanks again, Jane. I enjoyed doing this :)

Inside one of the model units- the unit is so lovely! (photo from CanyonRanch.com)
We rushed back to Manila around 6:30 (after stopping by Total Station in SLEX to have some Chowking Halo-Hal) as I still have to attend my boss' despidida party in Ortigas. Hay! Traffic talaga on a Friday night is terrible! We arrived at the party around 9 in the evening, the party was in full swing already! I was called in front to say a message for my boss and to render a song. It was quite an emotional night as we said our farewells to a wonderful boss. But, we all had a great time singing and dancing (my boss is a great dancer and I had a wonderful time doing the swing with him even if I didn't know how, lol). Anyways, the party was over by 10:30. We plan to go somewhere else but i'm just too tired na so we just all head home na lang. When I got home, I checked my mails and for some opps. I was able to grab one from the 3P's but unfortunately, since i'm dead tired, I didn't had the energy to do it. So, what happened? Well, my reservation expired! Sayang! Too bad! Oh well, ganun talaga. Better luck for me next time.
Saturday and Sunday were spent with hubby. We went to see our doctors for our follow-up checkups (me for my stone problems and he for his cholesterol issues) the whole of saturday and just had dinner at Carlos' Pizza in nearby Metrowalk. Love the mushroom soup, chicken fingers and pizza we ordered. Sunday we just laze around in the house and catch up on some sleep. We left late in the afternoon to find an address in San Juan (for hubby's upcoming project) and hear mass in Greenhills. After mass, we had dinner at our favorite, Tender Bob's ordering our all-time favorites, mushroom soup (great soup also), potato skins (the best!) and fillet mignon for me and salpicao for hubby. Well, we're trying to cut on our carb intake to help hubby reduce his bad cholesterol as advised by his doctor but it's just too hard to do but we have to follow it. I just don't want to drastically reduce hubby's carb intake as it might be too hard to do and will only result with him craving for more. So, I plan to make gradual reductions na lang instead and allow him to binge on his favorite food from time to time. We capped the night with a cup of coffee at Figaro. I just love having dinner and having coffee with my husband. It's our "bonding" time together. I'm surely looking forward to our next dinner/coffee date.
That's what been going on with me. Hope everybody's doing well. Thanks for all the tags you left for me. I promise to work on them soon.
Have a nice week everyone!

A couple friend of ours was able to buy there own place after renting a condominuim unit for almost five years. It's also a condo unit but a bigger one at that. They are targetting to move-in by May of this year and right now they are so busy with the interior decorating works and always in search for the right furnitures to go with their Asian Contemporary motiff. Since both of them are working, they asked for a little help from us. They wanted to find the perfect door handles for their new home. You see, a door handle is important since this will be the gateway to your home and it will give a strong impact on the motiff you're trying to project. Good thing I chance upon seeing this website - http://www.doorchic.co.uk/ - a leading online supplier of high quality Architectural Ironmongery from door handles to butt hinges, from bathroom fittings to door knockers, from country cottage to modern city centre flats. It's a one-stop shop that caters to all tastes and styles, with thousands of handles, knobs, door furniture and hardware products available to buy in their online store.
Anyways, tomorrow will be our monthly management comm. meeting. Mancom Mtg's were always toxic in the past that's why we all prepare for this or else...........,lol. I'm not sure if I can still bloghop tomorrow since almost the whole day will be spent on meetings. In the evening maybe I can catch up on my daily reads.
Till then!

Good thing, I came across this site - Buzzfuse.com that can help me with this problem. You see, all I did was register my favorite original photo (you can also register a favorite post or song for that matter) for marketing through buzzfuse's services. After doing so, I immediately learned that upon signing up with them, I can be assured of promotion of my blog and my posts will become more visible! It's amazing! This site can truly help me improve my site's traffic which will eventually give me the page rank that i've been hoping to have ever since I began with this blog. And as an added bonus, since I have more than 30 people in my blog circle and if I can register one more blog (which i'm working on right now), I have the chance to win one of the 1000 premium accounts (value at ±$180.00) and will have the opportunity to earn extra money for each top-performing post I make. Now, i'm sure all of you bloggers out there will definitely benefit from this wonderful site so check them out now.
