Day 5 & 6 of 8...AGAIN!!!

The rules are that for 8 days you have to post something that made you happy that day. (8 for Eito.) Tag 8 people to do the same.

By request: The FISH plushie.

Turn it, and the other side looks like this:

I love how all the colors are represented....But I see mostly blue. Tee-hee.

Two, to be exact, I wish I had my camera with me at the time. And...I left my phone. So....yeah.

'Twas a Sunday, and I couldn't go to Church coz it seemed rude to go through the entire mass with my glasses and a cap on. After mass, I met up with my mom and grandma to go do some grocery shopping. And we bump into a long-time-no-see uncle, with his wife, and two foster-kids. (Foster kids, coz he's...unable to have kids. Period.) Kim and Errol. Lovely kids. I wanted to take them home. Errol, especially. For a three-year-old, he's such a flirt.

Went and bought a gift for the ladies'-night-in the next day. It was a group of six of us, colleagues, friends, buddies, and all girls. We drew lots as to who to give gifts to, and on a piece of paper, wrote a wish list of sorts, so the person who got it would know what to give. I bought a bag for the lovely I got, Ate Racquel. (For those who don't know, 'ate' means something like 'oneesan', used to refer to an older girl.)

I wasn't able to join the Aibakaland staff chat coz...more relatives came to visit. An uncle had an appendectomy, and EVERYONE just had to drop by.

I should be happy about them coming. But I missed something. But...yeah. I'm happy to see them again.

So. Uhm. Relatively quiet.

I turned a year older.

My dad banged on my door, woke me up with, WAKE UP! LET ME SEE YOUR EYE! Oh...Happy Birthday.

He's being sweet. *rolls eyes*

So, I discussed it with my mom. And she wasn't too happy with it, but she relented. Night of the 22nd would not be spent with them. *shrugs*

Didn't go to work. It's a perk of the job. I can take the day off. A privilege of sorts. But morning, I went and looked for something to feed all 25 people at the office. I managed to rustle up some pasta...

Wait. By 'rustle', I didn't mean I prepared it. No. (I'm made for eating more than preparing. Unless it's a matter of life and death.)

I went to our trusted resto that prepares pastas and ordered some for later that afternoon, and some of that Strawberry Delight moist cake that they love so much (but couldn't get coz the bakery's not in the City, but in MY suburbs).

I bumped into an old high school buddy, Arfil, who always visits me at work, but have not talked to for about three weeks. He saw my eye. And...Well, see, he works at Social Services, specializes in cases of Violence against Women and Children. And his words:

"You know, if you were brought to our office, no matter how you insist that you hit yourself against a wall, we WOULD NEVER believe you. We'd put you down as a victim of battery."

Somehow....I don't take comfort in that. But I am happy he also sees the humor in my situation.

At the office, they practically devoured my treat...and then it was a matter of waiting until we get off at 5 so we can proceed to Majo's crib (she's a newly-wed, newly-moved to a swanky apartment and her hubby's out of town). She pretty much took care of everything. The place, the food, the drinks...All we had to do was get our asses over there and bring our gifts.

Oh! I forgot. We also found out we get to receive some dividends and some remuneration. YAY.

Our lady boss was like, "How many of you are going?"

"Six."

"Only? You call that a party?"

....Obviously, she's never heard three of us together, let alone SIX.

At Majo's, we were noisy as we prepared dinner. Took pictures in between. Me hiding my face underneath my cap...but it was fun!! After dinner, we had this special banana cake, and they go, "IT'S JHING'S BDAY!!!! MAJO, CANDLES, QUICK!"

She brought out a candle. An ordinary one. You know, the white thick ones you use when electricity fails?? They lit it, set the camera. Ate Tonette held the candle over the banana loaf....and they all went, "when it (camera) blinks, BLOW."

One....two.....*blink* BLOW!!!

EVERYONE BLEW.

And it was captured on cam.

LOLZ. Will post pics once I get them from Ate Fredda. (Plus I need to find smiley icons to cover my face. lolz)

Then, Majo mixed some drinks (she's getting good, I must say, even if I don't know the first thing about alcohol, wines and spirits.) She called it Tequila Sunrise. Yum.

Karaoke. We were hoarse. I mean, I was hoarse. Still a bit of the cough. But really, you know Bonnie Tyler? I sounded like her. Only funnier.

Some of them drank the Tequila STRAIGHT UP, not the cocktail Majo came up with. Two shot glasses, and Ate Fredda was about ready to climb the walls.XDD

Ah. The gifts!! I got a leather bag from Ate Fredda. A leather shoulder bag. And I instantly though, HOSHIT, MOTHER-DANGER.

Sure enough, when I got home, my mom saw it, and said, "LET ME USE IT. Let me have first cut on it."

I couldn't very well refuse, can I?

But...as she was transferring her stuff from her older bag to the new bag, she was clucking her tongue in amusement.

"Hihihi. Meron na naman akong bagong bag."
(Hihihi. I have another new bag."

WHAT!!

*sigh*

I'm yet to celebrate my bday with them...probably over the weekend. *shrugs*

I'm so sorry this was long.

And I would like to say a huge THANK YOU to everyone who greeted me. The graphics, the messages, the PMs, the greetings on the comments. I tried to answer them all. But if I missed replying to any, rest assured they were all read. Thank you so so so much. :) Arashi fangirls are THE BEST.

Oh! It was your birthday? Well, I haven't been here long (approx 5 days ago?). Stumbled upon your LJ while searching for subbed vids :P But, anyway, dropping by a comment to say happy belated birthday! (Your birthday celebration seemed really fun ^^)May you have all the things and love you want.

Yep. Last time I checked, it was. :)

Thank you! :)

Have a Happy Holidays!!!

Your family sounds very sweet xD Your father who banged on your door, and your mom who tried the bag.

Hmm... it's hard imagining you preparing pasta, so I already knew even without you mentioning it xDDDD *runs away* But anyway jeffer, if next time you ever decide to cook anything for your office mates, try lettuce and chahan xDDDD

Btw, random but my father's birthday is also the same as your birthday xD It kinda amused me ;P

p.s: Do choose a favorite ohno pic from the community's new post, ok ;)

They're not. I take after them. They're brutal.

Hehehe. If that weren't the truth, I'd feel offended. Mwahaha! The pasta I can do, though, involves only tossing the ingredients altogethe. Quick like that.

At the office? We do eat lettuce raw. And raw tomatoes...with green mangoes topped with fish sauce. Yum....

Is it? Haha! I'm not surprised. Lots of Dec 22 babies I know. There's Ai. Our local priest (may he rest in peace)...and some other people. Now your Dad, too! Cool!! Too bad you weren't there to celebrate with them, but in spirit, eh? :)

...oof! I already did!!

Not to intrude on the convo. BUT with green mangoes topped with fish sauce

OMG!!! That is so delicious! I like to eat magoes with bagoong!! OMG! So yum~~~! I'm glad my fam isn't that weird. -.-

Bagoong or alamang. WINNER!!!!! YUM!!!

Sorry I haven't had time to read your entry (except the line abt it being your birthday), I am i am still on holiday and all. :P I am a bad LJ friend!! I totally missed it. HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!!!

and happy holidays ok!

How's your holidays???? I hope you had a good trip. :)

No, you're not bad! Lolz. Thank you!!

Enjoy yourself over there, 'kay! Have a happy holidays!!!

It's so cool your office friends celebrate your birthday ^_^, it's sweet....
Your mom got your new bag huh? Well, at least she'll be happy ^_^
ARASHI FAN GIRLS ARE THE BEST NO DOUBT ^_^

it was just supposed to be a normal Xmas party...but we're crazy. So. yeah.

SHE DID. She used it for the 2nd straight day! I know soon I'd have to put my foot down and 'borrow' it.

YES, WE ARE.

Ah!! That blue fish you were talking about! XDD
HAHAHA. Obsessed Ohno fan! *pokes* I would have done the same thing though :p And you see mostly blue? Even for the 2nd pic??? You... you're colourblind~ XD *LOL*

What's wrong with having a party with 6??? :p I did that before too XD Hahaha. And you guys had a gift exchange? Ladies night? Not for christmas?^^ And your birthday celebration sounded fun!!! Holding a thick white candle over the banana loaf??? *LOL* I want to see the pics!!!

I remember one year, cuz we couldn't get any cakes, we used muffins as a replacement & cuz we had no lighters (in school), we drew a flame & paste it on the candle *rofl* Poor birthday girl~ Hahaha.

And Jhing, I'm really giving you a new present instead of a x'mas prez T_T Gomen nasai m(_ _)m

Yes. I see mostly blue.
And I have an excuse to be color-blind! Faulty eye, remember? LOLZ.

RIGHT??? Plus, we make enough noise that one would think there are twenty people in a room. Especially when there's karaoke. We just know how to have fun, don't we? Quality over quantity. Or something....

Pics! I might post some tonight, or tomorrow, depending on whether I think I'm spamming too much.

YOU DREW IT? haha! And then...what did you do when the candle was blown? You erased it? XDD

REALLY. YOU DON'T HAVE TO!! Grr. XDD But thanks!!!

*pokes your eye* XDD Hahaha.

Yeah! Quality, enjoying the time spent together is the most important! I don't like big groups actually^^ Small group is better so you can spend more time with each of them! :)

Hahaha. Okay~ Post when you think the timing is suitable :D

Yep, I DREW IT XD Erm... we just tore the paper flame off! XDD *LOL*

Welcome, my dear!<3

That blue plushie is adorable. Should get Oh-chan's name stitched onto it for super fangirl delights! Teeheehee...

Plus I need to find smiley icons to cover my face.
Aww...why? XD I want to see how much like a battered woman you look b/c that was such a strange comment to be made in the first place.

Your mom=my mom...whenever I buy anything new that she'll like she always says "when that shrinks can I have it?" or "can I borrow that?" I JUST BOUGHT IT! Geez...mothers.

So you did see the graphic I made for your lovely b-day? I wasn't sure but if you said you did I believe you! :P I was just worried that you'd think I forgot. >.<

It's sooo squishy. I wish it were bigger so I can turn it into my pillow.

...come to think of it. Why didn't ask if they had bigger ones? Ah. I was just too excited when I first saw it, I guess.

NO. Smiley icons. I have to find them. Now.

Haha! But at least your mom is like, content with hand-me-downs, or something. My mom wants to use it BEFORE I do!! That's her weakness. bags...and sandals....I literally have to pull her away everytiime we come close to a bag or shoe shop.

...which is pretty much what she does when we come close to a book store or a record store. So. yeah. We're even.

Yep. Geez....mothers.

I DID!! I just didn't want to comment back coz of your RnK cut...but once the cat was out of the bag, WHAT THE HELL. LOlz

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!

So...I'm supposing you've yet to finish RnK... :/ When you do finish it, I'd like to hear your thoughts! ^.^

My mom...I can't shop with her or any of my aunties. They'll stand there and talk about every little thing and discuss it and complain about everything being so expensive. Half of the time I'm standing there going "you don't need that put it down" and my mom goes on and on about how these black shoes would be used for adifferent purpose than her other balck shoes... o.0

The final ep, no, not yet.

HAHAH! My mom also has this habit of....being really driven when she shops for something she likes, but when there's something I wanna buy and I have to go EVERYWHERE and check out EVERYTHING before i settle for one, he'd go, "that's nice, get that already" even if it's so NOT nice. She just wants me to be done with it so we can go sit somewhere. LOlz.

Your mom and your aunties talking/discussins.....soooo Pinoy.

Aunties are interesting characters in themselves. They always say to me..."Moriah, you lost weight!" And then proceed to gush about in tagalog while I'm like, eh? They played this game the other night when they couldn't speak English at all and only Tagalog and I'm like wtf kind of game is this? LOL....my mom was totally failing at it tho.

Why am I ranting about this on you lj? So sorry.

happy (late) birthday!

thank you!!

have a happy holidays!!!!

YAY! Pics!!! YAY!!! Satoshi's looking super cute! XDDD

It sounds like you had a great birthday! YAY! Girl Nights out is the best!

Yum.. Tequila Sunrise.. really good cocktail! The bad thing with cocktails is you have a couple of drinks and because they don't taste so much like alcohol you can get dizzier faster XDDD

Hihihi your mother.... hihihihi!

I renamed him. TOSHI.

TOSHI'S SUPER CUTE!! XDD

Technically, it's a girls night IN. nyahahaha!

For someone who doesn't really drink, I think I can hold my alcohol pretty well. Or maybe just that I haven't tried drinking too much? I didn't want to risk it. Plus, it's mpre fun staying sober watching others go hee-haw. XDD

So...be careful with cucarachas when I'm around. Good eye or not, I'd be taking lots of pics of you! XDDD

かわいい　TOSHI!!!!

Hahaha.. yes.. girls night IN. But still, hanging out with the girls is the best! When I go out with the girls from University is like that.. but we have cosmopolitans XDD Have you try the Cocktail name Grasshopper? (Why do they name drinks after insects???? Why?) Anyway.. is really good! Is sweet! Yum!

True.. watching others go hee-haw is super fun! Hahahaha!

Cucarachas is just once a year! XDDD
For birthdays! XDDD

Belated happy birthday! (n_n)

... and since it's the 24th already-- Merry Christmas! <3
Family and friends, they bring more lights - warm and wonderful colors - than any other Christmasy lights this season, ne

And oh, that plushie is adorable!

Thank you!!!

And you have a happy holidays too! With people you love, and even the people you hate. Let's wish they change. For you. LOLZ!

Let's welcome 2009 with rainbows, 'aight??

It is! I named it Toshi. The first thing I ever named after any member of Arashi. XDD

fishy looks squishy and so colorful!
you're dad's so cute. banging on the door and checking on yah!
glad you had a happy birthday. happy indeed. friends and family are thee best no matter what.
*wave wave at you mom's new bag*

All I see is blue.
Faulty eye. My excuse. aherm.

My dad only does that to piss me off. Or to scold me with "PAPASOK KA BA NGAYON O HINDI!?"

At HER new bag? You're on HER side? *shakes fists*

oh, I totally forgot you had eye injury. Get well soon!
haha really? gosh, mornings rushing to the office is crazy.
My dad goes like "ANONG ORAS KA NGAYON?" even if he knows I am already late. nge.

*congratulates your mom on her newly acquired wealth*

ps: your daughter is shaking her fist po oh!!!

That fish plushie looks like one I could give to Eva :D

Relatives.. *shivers*
I'm glad I don't have to meet them often (like.. once a year maybe?). Do you often see your relatives?

But really, you know Bonnie Tyler?
XDDD

Sounds like you had a nice birthday :D

Ir's soooo soft!!! I wondr what they put inside it.

These relatives, I don't see much of. I don't see much of my relatives from my dad's side...except my grandparents who visits us at least once a month. But cousins, uncles? Nah. I'm not too close to them, I'm closer to the ones on my Mom's side.

Seeing them often would be too much for comfort, I guess. Plus, I have this thing called "familiarity breeds contempt." haha! Too much is not good.

I did. *still grinning foolishly*

Ha, finally saw Sakana-san err... Toshi? Its so cute.

I'm glad you had a fun birthday. Nothing beats a lady's night IN.. Hehehe

Please, post pics! I LOL'ed when you said the candle was the ordinary, big one. Hahaha.

"Hihihi. Meron na naman akong bagong bag."
(Hihihi. I have another new bag." Nakakatawa talaga Mom mo...LOL!

Toshi....say it quickly in succession and it'd be 'toshi toshi toshi toshi tush tush tush tush...'

It's ordinary!!! Liwanag Candle. Mwahahah!
I'm just glad it wasn't one of those yellow ones.....tee-hee!

My mom. Tumatanda nang paurong, Second day na niyang ginagamit bag ko......ang bait ko, sobra.

ahahaa your mom has never failed to amuse me XDD lolz
do post those picts!! hey..when you cover your face with a smiley icon, make sure we can still see that black eye, ok? *evil cackles* =p

You want a black eye?? lolz.

I just wanted to say.... that this fish plushie RULES!! IT'S SO DAM CUTE~ AND LOOKS SO SQUISHABLE!! <3 <3 !!!

It is!! I was hoping there's a bigger version so I can have a pillow...but....we make do with what we have. XD
