Feelin' Beautiful

Yup! That's what I am feelin' right now! Voilent reactions not accepted this time :-) Heheh!

...but don't you think I am? Ah basta, for me I felt pretty as soon as Keri (my hair stylist) showed me my new look and color.

Much more when Carmen and I got out from the Salon today and the sun reflected on my hair.

Trully, hair adds personality. This was my second time adding color to my hair and I am so much happy with this one. It is worth paying the price.

Hong Kong Pasalubong

I just wanna thank you Babe for these pasalubong. I know that you are too busy working while you were there but you still care to buy me all these stuff.

WHat can I say? I AM LOVING it! Ya know I love t-shirts! They are not only comfy but most importantly can be worn this summer.
Panda Bear? Cool! Wish I can wear this at work.
I Love Hongkong? Will see!
Hard Rock Cafe, HongKong! Gee thanks! We love to collect Hard Rock Cafe t-shirts. Anywhere we go, basta may Hard Rock, go kami.

JJ got the idea from a co-worker who's been to HK ahead of him. She asked him to buy one like this for a nephew, which she forgot to buy. Buy din si JJ for me and for him.

Basically, its a stamp with an engravement of my name into chinese characters. Pretty neat!

The first one on the left is something I can hang sa car. Its a dragon pang goodluck daw..

...then a keychain with my name and its chinese characters and meaning...hmm...something new to me. Elise means young and silk? I don't know about that!

Anyway, im very pleased with all these stuff Babe. Here's some wet and sloppy kisses in return! :0X

Songspell's I Believe

I had no idea who this group was until one day my sister who works at BIR, text messaged me. She told me about her co-worker, Ate Cora and her daughter who is coming here in US and Canada for a series of concert tour. Ate Cora's daughter is member of the Songspell, Davao City's children's musical performing group.

Had it not for Jovy's padala to Ate Cora, I would not go and watch this concert especially that JJ's is still couping up with jetlag. After an hour drive to Amanda, OH I met Ate Cora. We chatted for a while and then the concert started.

These kids are gifted with great voice and outstanding performance. I can see their enthusiasm. So much passion and energy to perform and show off their talent. These group is something we can be proud of, Filipino's!

Hong Kong Business Trip

JJ is back from his business trip to HK. He was gone for 6 days and thank goodness everything is great here. Star and I did the same routine every day. This was the longest time JJ was gone for a business trip, the first time overseas.

Original plan, was to tag me along with him to HK and then proceed to Pinas for a short vacation. But then, the boss told him he will be sent twice to HK and that would be around Sept-Oct. And since, all my plans were not quite into places yet (esp. back home) I opted to stay and wait for his second business trip. Hopefully by that time, OK na lahat.

Oh, before I forgot. That Chicago O'Hare Airport was a mess!I went to the airport earlier than JJ's arrival, maybe about 2 hours to avoid traffic and also the rain was pouring so hard today. Only to find out that JJ's flight was delayed! Shocks! Kaloka, 6:42PM to 9:15PM! Aiyah! I finished about half of the book I bought at the airport, though!

Well, here's 2 video's that I requested JJ to take. A glimpse of HK.

First video was taken outside his hotel, the JW Marriott Hotel, Queensway HK Island.

Second video was around the shopping strip.

Photos are at the side bar.
