Dayton Air Show

Thousands of expectators gathered this weekend to watch the Vectren Dayton Air Show. It was highlighted with the World Famous US NAVY BLUE ANGELS Flight Demonstrations Team lead by CDR Steve "Boss" Foley. Their performance is a thrilling mix of amazing maneuvers by the four-jet delta formation and two solo pilots in the incredible Boeing F/A-18 Hornet.

It was my first time to actually witness this incredible show and I was so stunned seeing them off the air convened very close in one spot and not going to collide.

This show is amazing! Those who will have a chance to see them should watch it at least once. They have amazing flying skills and acrobatics, it was the best tlga!

After the show, I went to see if they will come out for a photo session and sure enough, some navy officers came out and started handing out an autograph pamphlets. One guys asked if the Blue Angels Pilot would come out for some photo session and an autographed signing and they did! I had my pamphlet signed with all 6 pilots! Sweet :p

Actually, one reason I wanted to see them is that after the show, they announced all the names of the enlisted navy's and where they are from. I heard a name, then - Manila Philippines...I was like, I wanna see him! LOL that makes me proud once and for all. He was working in their Power Plants so I did not get to see AD2 (AW) Paul Kwantanenggee.

So anyway, I got to see the Blue Angels 6 Pilots up-close which thrills me (for some reasons) and I had a photo with two of the pilots. The downside is your's truly's skin is too dark now after an all day affair with "Haring Araw", JJ looked a lot like a lobster.

...but i am grinning ear to ear and that's what matters

Best day of my life

So what happened on the 4th of july 2006, the day and year I turned30?

When I reached 60 yrs. old and my memories will start to fade, I hope that my kids and grand kids (if there is) will have something to check out and read what happened 30 years back.

Typical morning, Star woke me up around 8am so she can potty outside. We went for a little walk and played a little bit before we head back home for her breakfast. I felt so lazy to do something for my birthday so I sat down infront of my square-headed BF and blog hopped.

JJ then woke up and told me to clean up. I gave him a hard time. I am too lazy! Well I was excited for his birthday present for me. Told him i'd get shower if he will give me my gift. He said, I have to looked good before he will give me my present. But of course the hard-headed girl won! He hand me a birthday balloon and put 3 pcs. each of black and silver beads =)

SO, here it is! Something I could use for our upcoming international vacation.

We are supposed to be at Easton Theatre for the 1:30PM show of Superman Returns and we are running out of time. While I was getting ready, he told me he needed to get something to bite before we head out to the movie. So off he went!

Damn, I have too many clothes but why am I having such a hard time choosing what to wear? These on-sale clothes looked so darn cheap! I should probably get clothes that suits my age? I hate this thoughts! Grrr... I had to change my outfit 5x be fore I got comfy with jeans and a black tank top.

JJ got back with a sack from Wendy's and a bithday cake/ice cream for me from Coldstone Creamery. Isn't that yummy? I love grapes, opps... I meant strawberry! =) Hmm...another surprise from my ever thoughtful JJ.



Superman Returns was a great movie. JJ and I enjoyed it along with Doug, Larry and kids who managed to save us a sit. The theatre was crowded and why not? The movie lead me to some emotional moments and humor.

Brandon Rout as Superman did a very amazing job and don't forget he is super yummy too! Yay!

Anyway, after the movie JJ and I did some shopping for Star at Moochies and Co. then we head out to the Fish Market for a good dinner, only to find out that they were closed and so with Lindey's Cafe. We end up at Mimi's Cafe, still at Polaris. Gee! so much for an independence day birthday.

...and so we feast for a very good Cajun Blackened Salmon and 12 oz top sirloin.

...a glass of Mimosa for me and Merlot for JJ.

...a toast for my 30 yrs. of existence! for all the blessings and for having a great partner in life...there is nothing else I could ask for.

The best way to end this special day is watching a firework at downtown Westerville. This time with us is Star who is a little bit freak out with all the loud noise around her. She ended up wet after so much excitement of walking around while waiting for the fireworks to start.

Happy Birthday USA and ME!

Yeah, really! I just hit the big 3-0!
Is there something to fuzz about?

I am more than happy with what God has given me for my 30 years of existence. Family and friends, and most of all JJ and the little Star <--she is my baby :x I don't have plan for my birthday. For one thing, I've been working crazy hours lately enough to haunt me in my dreamz. JJ said its not just a dream, it's a reality. So, I don't have TIME to plan for my birthday. I am too tired to plan! Well, I guess I did choose not to plan because I have no choice as well. Last sunday was JJ and workforce's Project Implementation so he's been putting too much hours the last few months or so. We used to travel either on his birthday or my birthday.

While I was taking a break from work today, I managed to exchange text messages with JJ who is just working from home. Weather was pretty ugly -lightning and thunderstorms here and there.

Me: Babe, juz told mah frens dat we wud go out for my bday on other days. Be sure to tell ur frens 2 in case dey r planning something 4me. (i dislike surprise parties for me, i just don't know why, strange huh? uhm, well I guess it depends on who is planning heheh)

JJ: U mean the whole day, just me and you? U sure u can stand me? :x

Me: wut do u want den? d'ya want me to hang out wid them?

JJ: No, no. I like the sound of it actually. I miss you... :-)

Me: Missed u 2! I love hanging out with u, more than anybody I know. Can't u tell?

JJ: Awww...that's Sweet Babe. I won't tell Star and your square-headed BF either

Me: Star is next in line den SqH BF! U are my bestest fren, my luv and luver :p

JJ: As you are, my love...

It just made my day... I'm feeling so blah working the last 3 days, It feels like my body was there, working because they needed me but my mind was out somewhere. I seldom talk to my co-worker and just flashed a fake smile to customers.

Anyway, going home JJ and I almost pulled in the driveway together. He just got home from somewhere and got us a dinner.

And then I saw that lovely flower...that picture I posted on top, coupled with a birthday card :-) Isn't that sweet of him?

So...I am 30!

I am 30 years vibrant!

I am 30 years bold!

I am 30 years hip!

and I am 30 years witty!

I am head of the 30-years-trendy committee!

I am 30 years smokin'

and 30 years snappy...

for JJ and Star, I am ALL that and More...so surely I'll be 30 years Happy!
