"When She Loved Me" -

Written by Randy Newman

When somebody loved me,
Everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together lives within my heart
And when she was sad,
I was there to dry her tears
And when she was happy,
So was I
When she loved me

Through the summer and the fall
We had each other, that was all
Just she and I together,
Like it was meant to be

And when she was lonely,
I was there to comfort her
And I knew that she loved me

So the years went by
I stayed the same
But she began to drift away
I was left alone
Still I waited for the day
When she'd say I will always love you

Lonely and forgotten,
I'd never thought she'd look my way
And she smiled at me and held me just like she used to do
Like she loved me
When she loved me

When somebody loved me
Everything was beautiful
Every hour we spent together lives within my heart

When she loved me

Pots this is for you!!!!

on with the Show for April 16,2007 Animal Kingdom Day!

My Sunday night concluded with 2 mudslide gave me a good night sleep,Come Monday morning the 16th of April I was ready to tackle Animal Kingdom! Again the weather is to my liking, it was about 65 degrees no humidity at all. By the time I got to AK the line at the Espresso bar was in full swing!

alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket">

I have not seen AK this busy even the windows to purchase tickets have a line already!

Ok let’s go to the main reason why I am here at AK!!! To watch the new Nemo Musical!

By the time I got to the venue the line was all the way to Chester the Dinosaur!!! But it was worth the wait! It is a just see! I don’t have any picture during the show since a few CM are really roving the theater for no photography at all! This pictures/below were taken when the cast where all taking their final bow!

2007-05-01T10:56:00.000-04:00

Sunday April 15th
Ok it is now Sunday the 15th and for the 1st time in ages I have my coffee maker in the room to make my fave Sumatra coffee also I brought along my mini rice cooker for my brown rice! Sorry cannot give up brown rice if I want to stay pain free in this trip.

After enjoying a nice cup of rice and a cup of coffee off to DTD. No plans for Sunday but to browse and soak the Florida Sun! Yikes got out and it was a bit chilly! Uh huh the sweat shirts and jackets were in full bloom, yes you read it right I did not mean the flowers are in full bloom (that’s at EPCOT) it was the shops displays of a variety of hoodies and jackets! Which did not bother me since 65 to 70 degrees with no humidity is the best thing that ever happened in Florida for me. Keys check... Cell phone check... sunscreen check... And as soon as I got out of the room it was raining like there is no tomorrow. But I need to do some grocery shopping and this is what it look liked at the Crossing, Gooding's Supermarket.

After browsing the store for a good minute, paid my purchases and back to the resorts.

By the time I got to DTD the weather had ease up and the sun was trying hard to shine.

to dine or not to dine... that is the question...

And now it is time for my 1st ADR

Lunch was delish at Fulton’s Crab House. Of course I had to have the Brabcake sandwich and calamari for appetizers and my 1st drink, this was supposed to be a Sweet Pucker, uh huh that’s what it was called on the menu. Can you say SWEET???

After the CM saw this picture he was nice enough to switch my drink to a much better sweeter drink… The Fulton’s Fusion! Ok lunch is over so now back to DTD and just plain enjoying the day!

After having my 1st freebie chocolate at Ghirardelli, I drove back to SSR to check out the place. And where is the best place to start but of course the “On the rocks” located at the poolside.

My 1st trip home.. the pain and obstacle in getting there....

2007-05-01T10:39:00.000-04:00

OK… where do I begin…? Well I guess the experience of missing the flight. From day one it was not meant to get on the 1:30PM flight on April 14th. The journey began months ago, flying out of PHL on Sunday but the only flight I can get was the 5PM one. SWA was fully booked so I religiously sat in front of the PC for that lucky ding. Who would not want to get in early and get out late of MCO for the mouse? And also I did not want to bite the double points needed on a Saturday stay at SSR. And since vaca starts Saturday getting very early in the morning on Sunday is not a problem. I waited and waited and waited but no morning flights opened so I had to finalize my dates and voila a Saturday flight opened but not Sunday. Hey might as well, so yup called the 800 number added a Saturday night and took the 1:30PM flight out of PHL.
Finally the day arrive… mind you this is the 1st time I am flying out of PHL after 12 noon … always had taken the 1st flight out anywhere I go so I guess I am a bit discombobulated, left the house at 11:00AM have enough time to get there and give me my 2 hour leeway, the airport is only 15 minutes away. Got to the airport and realized I forgot the cell phone, the most important tool in this day and age! So yup drove back to get it. Got at the airport and was at the desk exactly 1 hour 30 minutes! Ok luggages are all in off I trek upstairs to line up for the TSA entry check! Oh my God! The line was from the door to Mount Timbuktu :faint:! But told myself I have a good 1 hour and 15 minutes this should be OKEY :thumbsup2 ! 30 minutes standing in that line and it wasn’t moving at all but the line had gone back from Mount Timbuktu to Philadelphia International Airport with banners on! Finally grab one of the TSA agents and ask what is going on, she said it will take about 15 to 20 minutes and it will be OK. Well the opened a new line so I thought “praise God this is it”! Would you believe that line did not move at all? Right in front was a bunch of kids about 20 or so taking all their shoes, yapping on the cell phone giggling left and right and all waiting for who is chaperoning whose group. Finally a couple of travelers in front of me suggested going ahead since they heard my flight was on final boarding. By the time I got to the conveyor thing the one traveler with kid told me she can’t let me go since her flight is due in 45 minutes :scared1: ! So again waited for her to get the kids shoes off cried some more gave the kid milk cried some more and finally it was my turn. I must have look a mean B***h when the TSA agent commented about my shirt ( I was wearing a shirt stating “I will be nice to you if you give me chocolate” from Chocolate factory) that his girlfriend would like my shirt and all I can say was… AND??? Got through the check and ran with all my might but was too late. The plane had left the airport. I had to compose myself coz right about that minute all I can see was red! I see adolescent kids passing by and all I can think of was why you can be allowed at the airports! Why??? After counting 1 to 10 and reminded myself that I have adorable nieces and nephews and will eventually be their age all I can do was pray that hopefully they turn into a better teenagers than the one I just encountered that day! OK… on to the better part of this trip report! I was absorbed by the next flight and guess what time it was? Yes the 5:00PM flight that I tried hard not go book!
Finally!!! We landed at MCO at around 8ish. Had went straight to Dollar Car rental counter (I would never suggest Dollar at MCO. I have been using Alamo/National and Enterprise always and Dollar had a sweet deal at the time but never again they grab you in and take your entire DOLLAR and many more away with all their hidden fees!) We are going to skip this part let’s move on to finally getting a :car:. After getting directions to SSR off to 526 WEST to I-4 and then to Lake Buena Vista Ave!

Honey I am Home!!!

My Door...

My Kitchen...

Where I have my Million Dreams...

My Guest Bed...

My Table... Mirror Mirror on the Wall tell me I am the fairest of them All!!!

Scouted the place! It was heavenly! After unpacking it was to late to run to Publix supermarket and not sure what time Goodling’s at Crossroads close either so just decided to take a shower and call it a night!

ps:

2007-03-27T23:06:00.000-04:00

I want to have that chat box thing too... I should tell Potsie about that.... so you can all chat with me... tell me what you think vent.. anything ...I would love to hear someone else rant !

I need some Bubble Tea !!!

2007-03-27T22:51:00.000-04:00

Howdy Padner ??!! Today started really early. Jack was howling yes howling to his hearts delight as early as 7:00AM and Potsie was sound as a log. Around 8ish Potsie woke up ( finally I say !!!) about having a bad dream. About Rot2 being in an accident. So I suggested to give Rot2 a call. I am so glad this two are bonding like sisters now. It took some time but I think and hope they are getting there. Anyhooooo.... after talking to mom and Rot2 we decided to get up and go. 1st stop was the New Balance store and got Potsie the shoe that will bring Potsie some Good luck (yeah right!), then off to Dicks Sporting Good Store ( I wonder if it was really Richard's Sportingood Store but he just want to be a Smart @ss and made it to Dicks ... who knows...) and we got some good pair of running capris for Potsie and I got a nice new CLEO Crocs.. I love it I love it I love it but I have to refrain from hoarding ! Also got a white Life is Good shirt to match with my Golf Skort ( can you tell am glowing right about now... it's shopping we're talking about). Then we also stopped at Bed Bath and beyond for a Panini pan and press... so we're hoping we can refrain from going to Panera Bread house for now. Hmm what else.. ahhhh then off to Traders Joe.. Potsie is in the mood to bake so we got some Green tea cake mix and last but not the least we had to go to Panera ( did I just say we're trying to refrain from going there... love love love that store) to get some 3 Cheese bread and Multigrain and some bagel. Ok... I guess that's about it... Time to clean up and go home !!!

this is going to be us !!!

2007-03-27T01:12:00.000-04:00

2007-01-11T00:23:00.000-05:00

Well am home bound again. It seems like the domino effect is still rolling from 2006 into 2007 of my life. If there is any truth about horoscopes... This year I will face a lot of illnesses from waist up. I was sent home today on both jobs part and full time due to inflamation of my tonsils. Sad to say I would really rather stay at work since I really don't have any time to be out since I my accident last Nov. 8 ate it all up... I know this blog is very depressing but I really don't have any perky stories to share... My half full mentally is starting to go the opposite direction... Half empty... El Nino is upon me right now.... I know I know... You did not come here for this and I apologize... Hopefully next time there will be a better story... Be safe be well..

Three Kings.... and there goes our Christmas Tree....

2007-01-07T21:28:00.000-05:00

Hello... well I hope everybody had a great holiday. Mine was a bit crazy since there were a few episodes that you might already by now. 1st on November 8,2006 I was in a major accident. Then on November 28 I finally got a new Rig, actually it is Jack`s Rig... uhhh huh so the bird say. With the recent accident I really have seen a picture of my life and now had set my priorities in order. I am truly thankful for still having my parents in my life and next is Potsie who was and will be always there for me..... uhh huh so she says and also am thankful for being blessed with all my jobs. Not everyday someone can complain that he or she got to many jobs with the way economy is going now. And of course friends. They truly are a blessing. I just hope that they would understand that sometimes 24 hours is not enough and it may seems like they never feel my presence but I truly think of you everyday and pray that you are all in good health. For 2007 with the new addition of Jack`s Ride I would be keeping my 7 day a week work schedule and no am not complaining about I just hope that you would understand why I have to do it. Hopefully in the near future ( about 3-4 years from now when we get to relocate ) I would be able to balance work, family and friends. For now I wish everyone a very prosperous New Year! Be safe always and Wear your seat belts always!

About time I finish this trip report.....

2007-01-07T20:42:00.000-05:00

as we left off from previous thread... We are now getting ready for MNSSHP on 9-29-06

It was sold out for that night and had never seen it this busy. Not a lot of sighting for Characters not even Jack Sparrow. Mom had so much fun hunting for candy corners. We were able to ride the POTC a couple of times and enjoyed the fireworks with a big bucket of popcorn and funnel cakes. Went around Fantasyland looking for some Disers and have met a few from other threads but did not get any of their name. We just had the I know you are a DISER Nod. Also rode the haunted mansion a couple fo times which is Potsie's favorite ride. Toon Town was going crazy in giving out candies it was great. We sat down at the Noodle House Station to rest and check our loot and realized that mine is only half a bag for I was busy eating it. Got back at POP around 1:00AM and of course just like a regular trick or treat night we had to pour the content of the bag on our beds and check what we got ! And finally get ready for bed.

Sept. 30,2006
Let see, We woke up around 9:30AM and got ready. We are headed to DTD for a nice lunch with the Earl! Love their sandwiches!!! After a relaxing lunch off we scout stuff at the Pin Trading Station. Got Potsie one of her bday gift and more pins. Of course had to go see Goofy and his treats even though we all know we have so many sweets back in our room. Then we also had to check what is new at the World of Disney Market and take notes on what we would want to buy and bring home. Also stopped by at Ghirardelli for some chocolates. Hmmmmm now it is time for dinner yey!!! We have an ADR at Boma at 4:30PM. Uh huh after walking around DTD we did worked up an appetite! Also Potsie was surprised with her bday cake! Yummy! You better try it next time you are there, it was yellow cake with strawberry fruit filling with chocolate mouse for icing! And also that day AK was celebrating Botswana Independence day and had live entertainment. I am not familiar if this is now a regular but it was our 1st experience at Boma for this fun entertainment. And of course one of the great CM who made our dining magical was Mr. Steve.

After dinner we have a watch a movie date in our must to do list. Off we drove back to DTD and decided to watch The Guardian. After choosing the movie, on our way up in the theater where the lights were dimmed to find good sits, Potsie missed a stepped and landed on strangers lap. The funny part was both her hands were holding his tummy and he said to her I love you too . The wife who was sitting next to him does not look pleased at all . All we could say was sorry and trying hard to do it with a straight face. While waiting for the movie to start, there were a bunch of kids sitting behind us and was kicking our sits for fun and we asked them nicely to please stop but as soon as the lights dimmed and the previous started showing, they literally poured soda over moms head and shoulder. Not a good sight! Potsie went out and asked help with the managers. They said the only thing they can do is switched sits with the bunch of girls and if they persist they would just give us tickets for the next showings time slot. They also went and talked to the bunch of kids/girls and one of the ushers had stayed in the movies to sit next to them. We finally got to sit in peace and watched the movie. If you have not seen the movie I highly recommend it. It gets a thumbs up! Time to go home for a much needed snooze and the mousekeeper was nice enough to fix our beds to our liking.

October 1st

For today we have AK and MGM on our to do list. As always we started our day late. Woke up around 9:00AM got ready grab a quick bite at the Foodcourt at PoP ( which was really just an excuse to scout Disers but sad to say not a lot of them are in sight, I think they ran and hide every time they see my shadow comes in contact). We got to AK and a lot of Characters were out with long lines already. And of course we have to take pictures of the Tree of Life, you just gotta! And while we are there we have to go see Flik and It`s Tough to be a Bug show which also gives you some cooling moments with all the excitement around you! Then off to the Flame Tree counter service, Yummy!!! They give you big enough portion to share it with someone. This one girl about 2 or 3 years of age was so cute sharing her meal with the ducks.

Mom ~ you are not supposed to feed those ducks
Toddler ~ smiles.. And throw a piece of bread under the table and winked at us!

To cute ! OK after dilly dallying we head to Everest Expedition! Did I mention Potsie do not do rides as in roller coaster ride, last year we finally got her on Barnstormer and she did good on that and thank God we are weee bit smaller back then than now because if I remembered it right, sitting 2 healthy adults sitting together was a bit tough but it gave her comfort that if we ever go upside down we wont be thrown out of the mini coaster since it was snug. Whew!!! The lines were long at Expedition Everest and we ended up getting fast passes. Off we go to Dinosaur and that is a walk through! No wait at all, which means everybody was trying to check out the Yeti. After Dinosaur we heeded back to EE and the moment of truth is here. We had a few minutes to kill and had met a lot of kiddies of course with their one set of parent = baby swap act = and was able to make friends with a few! Love moments like this were you get to interact with the real people and tells you how much fun and stuff they have done already! Children are true blessings from up above. And also while waiting and was checking out merchandise from EE we met CM Konai (pronounced as Ko-na-ee) she was a big factor in my getting in this ride, Gave me a briefing on how this one will go since I was a bit leary about going through it! And at the end we have pictures to prove it!

By the time we got to MGM everybody is getting ready to watch the Parade. MGM was not one of our regular Park we go to so it is always a fresh sightings for us. Perfect! There was a free bench we can sit on and have great Photo Op. And after checking some shops we trek towards Thee Tower Of Terror, we have to do what we came here for! I cannot remember when was the 1st which was also the last time I was on TOT. But this trip I will be brave enough to grab my soul back up there. Yes Up there! So here we go. It was a walk through ! No point in going back, there were kids in line who were excited so I had to compose myself and act ADULT like !!! Fasten your seat belt! Voila !! The 1st drop I must have screamed my vocal cords out! The 2nd drop I try to scream but nothing came out and the 3rd ??? Do not ask me ! By the time the ride was done I was speechless not because I have nothing to say! But I got no voice! I sounded like a frog!! Hmmmm nobody kissed me up there, and I thought you kiss a frog to be a Prince in my case I a princess turning to a frog ? Mom was laughing and laughing and laughing, this means she did panic and got a wee bit scared but will not admit to it. Which means she needs some refreshments to calm her down! Ice cream!!! Again Potsie was on the sidelines waiting for our return! So off we grab some refreshments. And a few minutes later I left Mother and Daughter to themselves while I scout some of my Dis Pals.

Oct. 2nd Monday
Full day at EPCOT ( so we planned)..

Woke up around 8:00AM and got ready for a Feast of a Lifetime!!! I know I am going to try to sample some of the matching wines every country so I munch my yogurt bars and fruit! No plans in getting drunk! As soon as we got to EPCOT we head straight to get a fast pass Soarin` and only then we realize that there was only a 20 minute wait! What the hay! We went it and waited in line. Met a lovely couple whom Potsie chatted their minds out all the way to finish line! We did not get the top car so when we took off we have feet dangling over our view more reason to go in again! Mom enjoyed it a lot and cannot stop talking about it. Soarin` was over and we have about 40 minutes to kill for the 2nd round of riding Soarin' so off to see what`s in harvest right now at the Land (Living with the land). The 2nd time around was much better. We got the 1st car so we are on top of the world.. Love it !

After Soarin` just like what Pooh Bear had said we are all feeling 11:00 O`Clockish, time to find something sweet! We geared toward the World Showcase for our 1st stop! Florida !! Some shrimp with the Blue Fish Riesling, which was a great combination delish Wine for a nice hot day! I must have drank a whole bottle by the time got to Canada. Had Mexican wine, Italian wine which was super delish! It was around 3:00PM and we decided to go back to the hotel to take a nap and NO I am not drunk hahahaha.

Oct. 3rd dedicated for MK

As always we start our day at teh Crystal Palace. And after stuffing our face with lots of food I finally noticed this lady next to our table, she has been checking me out NOt!!!! She was from the boards and she was from UK that I have been sending lime green mickey heads via email. It was great! Finally a face to a name ! Today being the last day at the park we basically took a lesuirely phase. Potsie did get to ride DUMBO and I think she liked it since she plan to ride it again next time. After watching Spectro magic and cried over the Wishes Fireworks... off we go back to PoP. Left mom and Potsie in the room packing while I hang out with my Dis Pals again till the weeeee hours of the nite! It was fun!

Oct 4th...

Everything`s ready grab a quick bite at DTD with the Earl... and finally bid goodbye to the mouse.

~~~~~~~~~~The end~~~~~~~~~~~

The Gang = the great bunch of Peeps who was with us at PoP Century

Sept 28th into the 29th

Ok here it is !!! My Trip Report from our recent trip to the Promise Land. My vacation started a day early when I was able to coheres my supervisor to give me the day off on the 28th. Well!!! Did I start getting ready then ? Nope! Instead me and Potsie went out shopping (after CHAtting on the phone from someone in NC)! Finally at 6PM Thursday we decided to go home since Potsie still need to go to work at 10PM. So here I am at home staring at all the unfinished projects and decided to surf my regular sites !!! I have about 5 hours I have a lot of time ! In and out I was on the net and finally 5AM on the 29th came. Voila I don’t know how I did it but I did. Off to the airport we go. Checking in was easy. We checked in our 2 rolling luggage and off we grab a corner sit to take a snooze. After a couple of hours of waiting and wondering why we have not bordered but no explanation was given or told. Also while waiting we have 2 or 3 families who looks like they are also headed to the Promise Land, their kids still on pj pals and carrying Disney Princess totes or backpacks. My DISney radar was on. I really wanted to take a pic of one of the mothers who kept on grabbing her son`s arm. I know I don`t have room to say anything for I don`t have a child of my own but so far I have been good raising my niece and nephew that all it takes is one look for them to behave. One child kicking the younger brother and the dad thought this was funny. One mom keep on complaining about having to much people on this flight. Finally the pilot came and we boarded. Yey!! Me and Potsie were both on aisle sits. Not bad.. Not bad at all. Now came the seat mates! Arrgghhhh my seat mates where a family of three. A mother, a father and a 6 months old (at least) baby! It is their 1st born, you would know right away just by looking on how they handle the child. Wipe here, wipe there, hug here, hug there which was great. Mind you I was looking forward to getting in my sit and taking a nap since we also have the MNSSHP that night so I would like to get all the naps I can before I go trick or treating have mercy on the diabetic patient. So up we went, fixed my pillow and grab my mp3 and closed my eyes. A couple of minutes later the baby was also napping, I said great they are going to rest too! WRONG!!! As soon as the baby goes to la la land the mommy wakes the baby up !?! WHY ?? WHY ?? Why would you wake up a baby who is sleeping! I don`t have an answer. Counted 1,2,3 and turned the volume louder. About 1 hour into the flight the mommy needed to go pee which is a natural thing..... hang in there, there is a happy part in this TR... I hope, so up I stand and wait, as she was coming back she opened the overhead bins to grab her lap top, and books and more stuff. Cannot sit yet since all the stuff she unloaded was on my sit. Finally we really have to sit down since the cart is also waiting to serve us our peanuts and pop! Whew, thank God for peanuts! As the flight stewardess was handing pop and peanuts she realized the lap top was on. She explained to my seat mate that lap top is not allowed right now due to orange alert was up. Never heard this but hey if I was told I would do so to close it and put it away, but they had to argue about it for a good few minutes. Back to Frankie and Andy = Frank Sinatra and Andy Williams. Finally we landed at MCO I was ready to kiss the ground! The fun begins! Called dmom on her cel and told her get on the tram and it will take you straight to MK. She panicked, it is her 1st time at MCO sorry had to do it.... and she replied... I do not have anything but my luggage and the tickets are with you. So finally Potsie explained that we`ll be waiting for her as soon as she get out of the tram. Claimed our checked in luggage and off to look for the shuttle for Enterprise. Got the car and even got a free upgrade from neon to cobalt which was a blessing on our last day. We added 2 big gym bags for souvenirs on our way out from POP. Before going to the hotel we stop by at PUBLIX for some much needed personal hygiene stuff. Now we arrive at POP. Long lines at around noonish of the 29th. Rooms where not ready so we were given an 800 number to call at 3PM for our room number, which was ok since check in is really at 3Pm and we have Whispering Canyon Cafe ADR at 2:40PM and was sitted at 1:00PM since it was not really busy . We tried to trick "The Whistler" to order ice tea but since we were early she already had seen the ice tea trick and ketchup trick. Our CMs were really great esp`ly Matt ! They were a blast! Lunch was great everybody were full, we had to skip dessert and now we`re ready to check in. Called at around 2:45PM and their 1st response was "call at 3:30PM we are still drying the carpets in the room". So ok we went and check out the icons around POP since this was our 1st time at POP. Then I called back and got "Well check in is not till 4:00PM" and they hang up without a bye. Finally called again at 4:00PM no hello no nothing just hanged up. I was really getting agitated since also Svetlana decided to come a week early and tag along on our trip so no swimming at the Typhoon Lagoon for me or any pool unless I decided to make a scene, to much FYI I know but had to throw that in.... and finally went back in at the front desk and begged one of the CM for a room any room, and when she checked, she said the room has been ready since 3PM. Ok, I have been to ASMusic 1 to many times and never had this problem , Jazz Inn Bldg here I come. After dragging and searching for the room we finally found 6164 of the *eight track bldg*. And yes... there are elevators in POP Century and those ICONS are only for attraction. After unpacking and taking off the POP preferred comforters and taking a nice cold shower off we went to attend MNSSHP.

to be continued.....

this is it...

OMG!!! What are they feeding Potsie's inaanak!!! By the time we get to see him he would be shopping for his own food! hahahaha But don't you just love him with his stripe shirt.. Purong Jr!!!

2006-07-12T01:36:00.000-04:00

Here's Potsie's pride and joy her favorite inaanak! Why ??? Because I think they have the same appetite! Here at 6 months and 6 days!

POM Pomegranate Lychee Green Tea.... they said it's good for you...

2006-07-12T01:11:00.000-04:00

Well.. I am 24 hours shy away to making it a monthlery for my blogging. Let's see what happened... Potsie's mom came to visit around the 1st weekend of June and that was fun. We basically just watch the clock go tick tock !!! Also Potsie finally got her magic sing "who was always hugging the mike" I was able to sing a couple of tunes.. But now... I guess we're both done with it! So Magic Mike goes back in the box. We were also able to go to AC,NJ and was lucky enough to get a room at Bally's at a very short notice. Did not win much but did not loose anything either! After Mom left, my time was basically got consumed with work, also check ups with different MD for my personal case and also busy trying to find intervention for my good friend.
Also at the same token I guess I became a big supporter of Ovarian,Cervical and other Female Organ cancer awareness group. It is a very silent disease and we all need to be aware of all the changes in our body. Eventually I would like to add a thread about it here. But right now my brain is just scattered and trying to absorb all information I can gather.
A much needed weekend off will be enjoyed come August, we are going to see Potsie's mom and dad in IL. That is if we get my scheduled finalized. Summer is breezing by... In a couple more days Christmas in July is here! And by then 5 more months and snow will be knocking at my door. But for right now... My 7 day a week Mill is on and I don't see it stopping anytime soon. Hopefully everything will fall into place and Potsie will get to the finish line in the next 3 years... Wish her luck! "We need it... B..A..D.. !!!"

frapuccino green tea for a nice warm day! Yum!!!

Ok.. It has been a month and I still have nothing to share with everybody. Nothing really happened in the past 30 some days. Work and play maybe a couple of sad notes and hoping that they would go away soon. Potsie's mom came to visit last Thursday the 8th of June. I was able to take off that Friday and the weekend so we were able to take her around. We went to AC,NJ and started with a few good notes. Was able to get a room at Bally's for an affordable price on a last minute Friday night. Played a couple of coins and was able to triple them up. Also shopped and visited families in NJ. Sunday we went back to Delco to join another inaanak's birthday party! Monday was back to work for me while Potsie and mom shared some alone time. And today Mom flew back to St. Charles. Hopefully we get to visit IL in August funding permits. And now back to the hustle and bustle of our crazy schedule.

Before I end this, I would like to remind every woman who read this blog to be aware of Ovarian Cancer and also the rare Leimyosarcoma. This are silent killers for women. I know it is a hustle to go for that GYN check but it can save you 30 years of your life if you catch it on an early stage. And to those who was struck by this unkind disease. My prayers are with you. Don't waste anytime. Go for that check up!

2006-05-11T01:03:00.000-04:00

But then, how can you not go when this little one is the main event on May 21st, 2006! Please welcome my second love and Potsie's 1st, Chad aka Cookie coz he is the sweetest thing you'll ever see. Of course Dean will always be my first love now and forever!

drowning myself with Chamomile tea...

Yesterday at around 8AM I got the job offer of a lifetime. Well for me it was my dream come true.
You all know that I am a Disney fanatic. I was asked if I am interested to be a CHARACTER HANDLER for 4 hours on the grand opening of a Disney Store! And you know what is the best part ??? The character was Pooh Bear and Tigger who are flying in from Disneyland, California, yes they will be here in the east coast, in my coast in flesh or you may say in plush! So of course I said yes and was really hyper ventilating at the same time. Here's the kicker it is on May 21st, the same day Potsie's godson will be christened. At 1st I was thinking I can say I got sick and let Potsie go, but I took the day off at may part time job stating that I am going to the family gathering which mean I am still going to be in trouble if any of my co-workers see me at the store rather than in the church. So yes it is a loose-loose situation for me. I am so heart broken. All my life that I have been going to all the park I always utter to myself.. one day I will be that person walking side by side with Winnie the Pooh and Tigger too plus of course Piglet and Eeyore. Some of you might think this is crazy. So be it, this is my passion and this bring me joy. Maybe one day, when I am old and gray and retired I still can reach that point, "Oh it is so near but yet so far away". For now fanily comes first....

Green tea frap! yummy!

2006-05-09T23:22:00.000-04:00

Hello! Yes it is me Mrs Potts! I know I have not been around to tell you everything and for that I apologize. But life was just "flowing" you know like the river... I know am not making sense. April went by with no complains. I worked the 1st two weeks and was on vacation for the last two. The De Leon's were nice enough to let us stay with them for 7 wonderful days. The last week was consumed with check ups and worries but all is well now. The scare of my elevated ca125 has been corrected and now at a normal range. I just hope and pray that it stays that way. May... Nothing special going on this month other than I went back to my old job at 19063 but that is just temporary. I am now concentrating on Potsie's new career plans. Hopefully it all fall into place and so in the near future I can really work full time at the "Happy Place" so please pray for US!!! Nothing is really lined up for May just work and maybe a couple of days in Maryland on on the latter part of the month to see Cha..rlie Brown! Looking forward to catch some fish! June ??? Potsie's mom will be over for a couple of days.. we'll see how that goes... Right now am at work doodling so I better finish this.. clean up and go home.... Feel free to leave me any comments.. would love to hear if anybody out there is listening...

2006-03-21T12:38:00.000-05:00

But in my case I have to sit this far... Things I have to endure till the real thing comes... :o(

Ok let's see, what have I been doing lately. Other than work we manage to sneak out of Pa and meet up with Jeff, Elaine and Elan and also Tin-Tin and Rose. We got there around 1:30PM Friday the 27th 2 days later Elan turned 1 (25th of January) and yes my 3rd inaanak who is a BOY !!! He is so adorable and he have a lot of cute antics that you can easily fall in love with! After a couple of minutes chit chatting off we went for his appointment! On the way to the dr's office I sat behind Mommy Elaine and had a nice conversation with Elan at the backseat, he seem to enjoy our chitchat coz I got a couple of winning smiles regarding our subject matter! After the dr's appointment off to the lovely home of Jeff and Elaine ( love their bathroom the most), pick Papa Jeff then on to Todai. Thank God Rose was home early and Tin Tin was also on her way and they were able to meet up with us at the buffet place. After a bountiful dinner we went back home to the San Juans and played with Elan for hours! The time has come for us to go home and hopefully we get to do it again soon. On the other hand, while driving back to Pa we got a not so happy phone call from Kuya Nono, my Deanie's dad. Auntie Cristy is going through some spices in life. And last Friday, we were able to come see her. She looks OK and we hope and pray that she will be OK soon. Again I was able to hold Chad (Potsie's new inaanak) and take care of my Deanie the whole day. It was exhausting!!! For those kids have so much energy compared to someone who's obese like me but I will never trade those time with anything in the world. So yes, I would like to thank my friends and families who gave me an opportunity to be in their kids lives. They are the gem in my treasures and I will love them dearly for the rest of my life. Till next time!

This weekend is my 1st day off since Xmas and I am ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so looking forward to it! If I can only drive time on fifth gear I would! Just had it with work, I know we all we get frustrated with work but how much can one take. I have been here for 13 years. All I really need is wait for 2 more years and work somewhere else again for maybe another 10 to get a second pension but the Upper Hand right now is making that 2 years hard to see. I am just thankful that my chosen field is not saturated that I can shop around and see what's out there. Should I stick it out or just pack and go.... I don't like when I wish in winning the lottery, it is one impossible thing, it's like wishing for an immaculate conception at this time in age! So whatCHA think ??? Advice ?? Anybody ??

it's a wild orange tea type a day!

2006-01-15T12:27:00.000-05:00

We all get heavier as we get older because there's a lot more information in our heads.So I'm not fat, I'm just really intelligent and my head couldn't hold anymore so it started filling up the rest of me!That's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Sunday January 15,2006 12:30PM

Life is trully just like the weather! One minute it's cloudy and dreary but it will soon pass and Viola! `Blue skies shining at me, nothing but Blue skies do I see!` Have a great week.

not even the high octane tea can perk this day...

Friday the 13th of January in the year 2006

Ok. How long has it been? 2005 has left and 2006 is here to stay. The past Christmas holiday was a very comforting one. We just stayed home and did not cook anything but boiled hot water for my tea! It was an Untraditional one for us but I think I can really enjoy the way it was, 5 platters of sushi, movie marathon and basically snoozing for a good 80 hours! Gifts were confined to little stuff since we both agreed to get our gift after the holidays. Our `changing of lifestyle` plan is still in effect and it is really taking a very turtle like movement so please bear with us. The year of 2006 started crazy. For the 1st time in 3 years I worked the 1st week of the year so now am a little antsy in trekking the WORLD. And again it won`t be anytime soon since we are planning to see other places this year. Will keep you posted where we end up! Also this year we`ll try to reconnect with friends and family old and new alike. And also try to make my family`s (back home) life a bit more comfortable than before. They are not getting any younger and I truly believe in the saying why would I need the hay if the horse has been long gone. Which in turn I truly apologize if my time has been and still are limited to occasional day offs and a week vacation every quarter of the year. You may not see or hear me as often but friends and family are always remembered. In a couple of weeks Chinese New Year will be knocking on our doors. Let`s all welcome it with caution! The Dog is not a happy one this year being influenced by the Fire element. Have a great weekend Folks!

2006-01-04T12:15:00.000-05:00

Not !!!!

2006-01-04T12:13:00.000-05:00

2006-01-01T01:52:00.000-05:00

Well 2005 had left and now 2006 is here. I wonder what's in store for us ! All I wish for? Happiness and good health to all! And in 28 days we welcome the Chinese New year!!! More food !! yey!!! Welcome year of the dog!!!

Year of the Dog

1922, 1934, 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006
People born in the Year of the Dog possess the best traits of human nature. They have a deep sense of loyalty, are honest, and inspire other people`s confidence because they know how to keep secrets. But Dog People are somewhat selfish, terribly stubborn, and eccentric. They care little for wealth, yet somehow always seem to have money. They can be cold emotionally and sometimes distant at parties. They can find fault with many things and are noted for their sharp tongues. Dog people make good leaders. They are compatible with those born in the Years of the Horse, Tiger, and Rabbit.

Let's Ring in the New Year with peace and love in our hearts..... Now where's the nuts?

waiting for my wild orange tea to cool off....and I found this..

Men kick friendship around like a football, but it doesn't seem to crack. Women treat it like glass and it goes to pieces.
by Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Do not keep on with a mockery of friendship after the substance is gone - but part, while you can part friends. Bury the carcass of friendship: it is not worth embalming. by William Hazlitt

Without wearing any mask we are conscious of, we have a special face for each friend. by Oliver Wendell Holmes

A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same.
by Elbert Hubbard

The friend is the man who knows all about you, and still likes you.
by Elbert Hubbard

The real test of friendship is: can you literally do nothing with the other person? Can you enjoy those moments of life that are utterly simple?
by Eugene Kennedy

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.
by Laurence J. Peter

things to ponder part... I just love this I got this from someone and I just can't stop reading it...a very Positive reminder!!!

2005-12-26T18:34:00.000-05:00

1. The best way to get even is to forget...
2. Feed your faith and your doubts will starve to death...
3. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts...
4. Some folks wear their halos much too tight...
5. Some marriages are made in heaven, but they ALL have to be maintained on earth....
6. Unless you can create the WHOLE universe in 5 days, then perhaps giving "advice" to God, isn't such a good idea!
7. Sorrow looks back, worry looks around, and faith looks up...
8. Standing in the middle of the road is dangerous. You will get knocked down by the traffic from both ways.
9. Words are windows to the heart.
10. A skeptic is a person who when he sees the handwriting on the wall, claims it's a forgery.
11. It isn't difficult to make a mountain out of a molehill, just add a little dirt.
12. A successful marriage isn't finding the right person; it's being the right person.
13. The mighty oak tree was once a little nut that held its ground.
14. Too many people offer God prayers with claw marks all over them.
15. The tongue must be heavy, indeed, because so few people can hold it.
16. To forgive is to set the prisoner free and then discover the prisoner was you.
17. You have to wonder about humans, they think God is dead and Elvis is alive!
18. It's all right to sit on your pity pot every now and again. Just be sure to flush when you are done.
19. You'll notice that a turtle only makes progress when it sticks out its neck...
20. If the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, you can bet the water bill is higher.

things to ponder for 2006

2005-12-26T18:27:00.000-05:00

good looks, happy thoughts and good company.....hopefully good Karma too!!!

and my new mantra in facing my rainy days...

If the grass is greener on the other side of the fence, you can bet the water bill is higher.

Wishing every single mammal in the world for a peaceful New Year!

after sipping wild orange tea... I greet you a

2005-12-25T01:08:00.000-05:00

Merry Christmas!!! Hope it was as delicious like ours ! Be well, Be safe... God Bless

Plain water.... Nothing exciting...

2005-12-14T00:43:00.000-05:00

OK, 2nd day was OK. Me and potsie did not have a meal together but was able to watch what we ate. It was just a bit tempting to cheat since we just had our Xmas party on our shift and there was a lot of food. Well that's the update. Still trying to figure out how I got that worm up there ^ ! Till next time!

sweetened and unsweetened iced tea!!!

2005-12-12T20:00:00.000-05:00

Ok this got us thinking, are we going to be honest about it or make excuses and go on with our daily lives. But we finally decided to do the right thing. We planned/agreed to change our lifestyles and we started curbing our appetite today. This may not seem important but it is to our health (we have hit rock bottom of 200lbs or more). So let me share to you what we had today. First, Potsie had breakfast consisting of rice and modified Tinola (instead of sayote I only have cabbage). At lunch which was really my breakfast, we had again rice, modified Tinola and apple wedges (apples courtesy of Sheraton Hotel of N.Myrtle beach,SC) with peanut butter for dessert and for beverages we had half a cup of coffee, 6 ounces of freshly squeezed OJ and 12 ounces of water. In between snacks we have 2 apple wedges with peanut butter again. After doing all our major errands in the afternoon (doctors check ups and cel phone updates) we went to Macaroni Grill. At this point we had given up on our so-called curbing our appetite. We are succumbing to our old ways. We went in and browsed the menu. But at the end I think we still did pretty well. We ordered the calamari for starters I had the salad Potsie had the soup with unsweetened iced tea for me and sweetened for Potsie. We ordered our main course of Salmon with teriyaki glaze for me and Potsie ordered the Lobster lasagna and let me tell you. We ended up having it wrapped to go since we were already full! So yes, we did not over indulge but just satisfied our restaurant cravings. And now we have food for 2 meals to look forward to. Again my warmest thanks to Cha and Lhey the source of our strength in this endeavor.

No frills Tea!!!

2005-12-12T12:01:00.000-05:00

Ahhhh how long has it been??? Ok I think I can spare a moment and have some teatime with this page. Life has been pretty hectic but no complains it was all-good. Last Friday we trekked to NC and it was very good weekend, it was a no frills weekend. We ate, we slept and watched old movies while Cha and Anne grab some free money (I wonder if it was relaxing for them as it was relaxing for Lhey and me. I have never seen Home Alone 2 and it was a Beautiful Disaster just like what Kelly Clarkson have stated. Our faces were achy by the time we finished the movie! (It was cute and funny.) from Tanger 501 outlet mall. Foods were all good from snacks, breakfast lunch and dinner! And now we are back in our tiny hole in Pa and we brought back an inspiration! After seeing Lhey how AWESOME she looks. Yes Anne and me were dying of envy thank God we survived her company! We started our meal today with Lhey in mind. We had a nice serving of rice Tinola with cabbage, that`s the only gulay I got in the fridge, coffee, orange juice and water and apple with peanut butter for dessert. I think we did well for our 1st meal! Hopefully the WORM will move soon. Keep us in your prayers! If I don't get to sit down have tea with you have a Very Merry Christmas and a Blessed Year ahead of you!

BUGALA!!! Slang for Bulaga!

2005-11-11T14:49:00.000-05:00

It has been a month since I jotted down some notes and apologies for that. Life has been a blur this past month, a good blur though. Let me see, what happened the past 30 some days… basically it was consumed by work, play and sleep. There is nothing I can complain about that. Nobody`s sick in our team players, ME, POTSIE and of course JACK! In the middle of the month we went to see POTSIE`S mom and dad in Chicago. That was fun. Short and sweet! The best descriptions for a trip like that. Maybe next time will go back and visit my `watering hole`, sure would to see it again just to sit there and bask in the sweet ray of the Chicago sun. After we came back from the windy city we called our family in NC and had convinced them to see us! So yes there you go another trip to look forward to! But before that I need to survive my Thanksgiving weekend first. I wish I can just get in tune but I really don`t feel that the holidays are just around the corner. Help! Well I am working Thanksgiving Day but after that I have 3 whole days off. I know we`re getting the tree no problem with that but after that… Help! I just need to find a way to shake this black moss enveloping my holiday spirit and mind you caffeine can`t help either! Mama Mia! Well to all if it will take me another month to sit here and chat. I wish you all a Peaceful and Stress free Holiday!

PS Jack turned 21 human years last Novemebr 4,2005 And thank you for all the birthday wishes now he said where are the nuts ? LOL

need some soothing tea after tis trip...

2005-10-11T01:37:00.000-04:00

We are back!!!Who went: Mrs. Pots(me) and Potsie(my bday gal)
When: Sept. 23 to Oct 1, 2005

Sept. 23: Got to Florida late Friday. Did not get the requested room we have but still OK where she (CM = not to happy, maybe because it’s almost time for her to go home and all she can see is a sea of happy Disney fanatics… sometimes that can give anybody a headache you know!) had put us. At the Jazz Inn close to the parking lot, ground floor. Another quiet corner of ASMu since everybody was at the Calypso or Broadway, so cannot complain about that. We have Brenda for our Mousekeeper. Really young mousekeeper, no towel artwork BUT keeps the room clean and clean towels were overflowing (that was great!). After we rested we got ready to take the bus to DTD for a bite to eat at Earl of Sandwich. Bus ride was a bit crazy but we survived! Potsie and I had a different order of sandwich so we can split half and get to taste everything. The Dining Plan was AWESOME = a lot of food! After our scrumptious dinner we hop skip to the Gherardelli store for some sweet treats. I had to refrain in going in the marketplace since it is only our 1st night!

Sept. 24: Yes we did get the Mickey Shampoo Bottles this time in our room, I was expecting a dispenser at the tiled bathroom wall since thats what we had last April at the Rockin Inn Bldg. Took our shower got dress and called Enterprise for our rental (economy size for $133 for the whole week a good value I can say). After picking up the car we went back to DTD for more sandwiches and then off to see Flight Plan at AMC P.I. (sound crazy but only when I am on vacation I get to go to see a movie in the theater). A lot of action, story line is not that mind bugling! After the movies off to our 1st table service at the Whispering Canyon. Everything you read about it were true. If you ask for ketchup they bring one to many bottles, if you ask for refill for your drink they bring you a bucket. Food was great and the never-ending milkshakes was awesome. Only thing we encounter that stuck in our mind was the family next to us consisting of a mother a father and 3 kids. Parents were enjoying their meal while kids run around like crazy; even the server was starting to have a distorted face in trying to accommodate those kids without loosing their job. Tip was included in the plan but MYSTERY MAN our server was great, the same one who was very patient to our next table family, they get 15% and we just add a little more to make it 25%. Also stopped by at the Pop Century for my 1st fairy Drop off (nothing special nor expensive just a simple token of happiness)

Sept.25: Sunday, late morning for us. Since we were a day early from our original plan we were a bit discombobulated. Finally after dilly-dallying we decided to see AKL. Before anything else we have to eat. Ate at the Flame Tree ( I agree one counter service is good enough for 2 guest), had the BBQ pulled beef sandwich and salad a bottle of water, an order of soda with cake and frozen lemonade. Then off to see Tarzan Rocks for the last time since by the time we go back they might be gone. After dancing with Turk off to see the Bugs Life again and again and again. Saw Mickey, Minnie, Pooh , Eeyore and Tigger. After all our paparazzi instinct were satisfied we go back to DTD we walk some more to scout for more postcards to mail. It was almost 6:00PM time to go back to the hotel to freshen up since we are due at O hana at 7:45PM to see cousin Lipoa and cousin Carlos ( another great server). No complains with the food, almost the same menu the shrimp is now cooked with teriyaki sauce delicious! At 8:00PM the lights were dimmed since the Wishes fireworks started and yes the music is still piped in. after dinner we walked around and then we went back to the Hotel to catch some zzz.
P.S. Brief Encounter with Cousin Lipoa. It was nice to know they still remember you even after a couple of months had passed by.

Sept. 26: Monday, the day we save for MK. Woke up and checked the weather channel to see if we need to bring our PONCHOS. From previous trips I carry the heavy-duty ponchos and golf umbrellas but hey this time I wing it with a small one and thank goodness we did not need to use it at all. Got coffee with our free refill at the food court and grab some ice for my timmy tummy cup and off we go. After grabbing the map to locate where the counter services are we headed straight to Noodle Station. We never pay any attention to this corner since back then we are so focused to go to the Cool Station. We were one of the few 1st one who took advantage of their specialties. I had the Lo Mien, Choco Cake, a bottle of water and pot stickers for appetizer. My sister had the Noodle Soup ( sorry I forgot the name but it was good too since we share our food), fried rice for appetizer, ginger crème Brule and a big and I mean they gave her B I G cup of soda. So now lunch is out of the day off to see Philharmagic, Dumbo, Small World, the Three Great mountains, Haunted Mansion, a picture here a picture there. Then back to main street to check out the shops. Temperature was a lil high that we needed a scoop of Vanilla ice cream each. After all this activities it was only about 2:00PM. Can you tell ? We did not have a long wait at all in any of the rides. The most was at Astro Orbiter for about 15 minutes. But it was not bad since I was busy chit chatting with a girl named Kaileen. Apparently it was her 1st time to be in this ride and was a bit concern. We assure her that there is nothing to worry and grab my magic wand (bubble Minnie wands that I give out to any kid) and told her that if she ever feel anything to just blow her fear away. Well at the end she did not need to blow anything out. She did great! So, after we realize that we have a couple of hours before dinner we decided to go back to the hotel and take a nap for an hour which was a very long hour. A couple of hours later we finally got back to MK to have dinner at the CP around 7:00PM. By the time we are done it was just in time for the Wishes Fireworks and we got the best sit in the house. My sister did enjoy our chosen spot for this was the 1st time we tried it close and personal. But in my case I was busy playing with my new friends. I grab lighted fan and hand it out to my little friends who were already restless after their long day. That kept them happy and so with there parents I think. One mother even offered her kid for me to take home, which I know she was just kidding. Very magical way to end our night at MK.
P.S. We saw Abdella aka Abe aka LaLa again at the CP and he seems happy to see us also! Yes, he remembered us from April, where sat and ate! Awesome!

Sept. 27: Tuesday. Today was supposed to be our AK day again. Instead we hit Blizzard Beach. This was our 1st time here. It was not to busy which was great. We did the lazy river pool (I don’t have my list of names please excuse my ignorance) and the wave pool. No water slides for me since prior to our trip I was in a mild car accident and afraid that I might aggravate my neck. When we turned prunie it was our cue to go home and relax before we go have our dinner at Boma and then to see Cirque Du Soliel. This was a new experience for me. After seeing the commercial of Alegria ( touring Cirque Du Soliel who was ones in Philadelphia) I was a bit leery in seeing any show. But Anne had longed to see it so I finally gave in and I was glad that I did. It was a great show (except for the part where I fell asleep when they are running back in forth in the window of a bldg). After the show we walk a bit more and window-shopped. Somewhere in all this schedule we did our lunch at the Earl of Sandwich again.

Sept.28: Wednesday is a good day. We started our day heading straight to Soarin. We were a bit curious and did not know how to act by the time we got to the end of our line. We were lucky enough to get to row number 1. It was so real, you can smell the ocean when we pass trough it, oranges when we pass the orange groves and felt like touching the clouds when we were soaring! We wanted to do it again but the line got a bit longer so off to the innovations to have our picture taken with Mickey courtesy of Bank One Visa. A great one on one, I know we get met and have our picture taken anywhere at the park but this time you get to really take your time, practice your smile with no pressure and hug Mickey and Goofy or whoever was there as much as you want! Thanks Bank One! Off to lunch at the world showcase, Dessert in Japan kakigori of course and some Milky bar in UK. Since there is nothing else we can think to do here at EPCOT we hop skip to Typhoon Lagoon! This was my favorite between 2 water parks. More shades while your floating your time away. And a bigger wave pool. Potsie even tried the snorkeling thing and she enjoyed it so much she did it 3x. In my case I do not know how to swim so I just watched patiently and scout some lifeguards!!! By the time we are both toasted we went back to ASMu took a quick shower and off to dinner at the 1900 Park Fare. We met the fairy Godmother and sad to say I was not able to bribe her with some candy to turn Anne into a pumpkin! Food was great, I whispered to Percy that it was Potsie's bday on Friday can she turn her into a pretty princess even for one day but instead she gave her a delicious cup cake, a signed place mat by all of the character there and a C R O W N !! Her own crown!!! Mind you Potsie is not the girlie girl but she was so excited to wear that crown! Thanks Percy and Pearl!!! OK we have some minutes to kill till we head back to EPCOT for our Illumination Dessert Party. This was very stressful for me since the weather turned UGLY on us. I have 23 other Diser who are joining us for this gathering and the Mother Nature decided to PMS arrgggg…. After a series of calls to our rep for the party I marched myself to the entrance of UK at the World Showcase. After praying to all the gods I know and have heard off.... the fireworks went of with out a hitch. But since there was gusty winds we were not able to have our dessert the same time as the fireworks but instead was directed to the lounge of Spaceship Earth! Kinda neat since I was never inside of any of this bldg other than last April when we did the Segway tour. After meeting each and everyone and thank god they were nice enough not to kill me I can say that the night did end well. Went back to the hotel and finally got a very peaceful couple of zzz.

Sept. 29: Thursday, Woke up a bit late since after we got back from EPCOT Wednesday night, got back at the hotel and have to prepare my goody bags for Friday. And also I have a couple of drop off this day for my little friends who were arriving this day. I have 3 stop Pop, CR tower and ASMo. By the time I left the Front Desk of Several Disney Resorts/Hotel they are on first name basis relationship with me already. After brunch we went to DTD finally to shop this time. I have restrained myself for almost a week now I cannot stay away any longer. I also got my free Kelloggs pin and bought more pins and also got my 1st OWN cup of Sundae at Gherardelli! After satisfying myself with souvenir shopping we decided to go back to Typhoon lagoon one last time. Spent the rest of the afternoon floating away. After a couple of hours just sitting at the edge of the wave pool we then got ready to go home and Potsie had her own drop off goody bags. Tinker bell must have known that it was her bday that she sent her a bouquet of balloons and I think she really liked it. Dinner was served at the food court. And also this was laundry night. And after washing all our sorrows away (since we are contemplating already about our trip back home) off to bed we went.

Sept: 30 Friday! Today is the Official Bday and we are celebrating it at the opening of Food and Wine Festival at EPCOT. We had an early start. We started from Mexico to UK (pictures to follow to all the countries we have stopped by. It was one feastful day from Mexican Chicken wrap, Sa Cha in China,Kakigori and Tuna roll in Japan, Cranberry salad somewhere, some creamy pastry in another corner and to make it more crazy we had lunch ADR at Tepanyaki where Potsie got a delicious bday cake and a chefs hat! They were great (picture to follow)! There was nobody at the World Showcase that we finished it by 2:00PM which was fine since the temperature was starting to rise! We just headed back to the hotel to prep up our costumes and goody bags for my 20 little pals! I was Mrs. Pots and Potsie had this big Jack S. hat with her - I am your worst nightmare - shirt, and yes she can be your worst nightmare sometimes! Time has come to go get some candy. It was maddening, MK decided to just run one ferry from the ticketing station to MK and it took us 20 minutes before we got on one. My apologies to those that I was supposed to meet at 7:30PM, by the time we got to the park the parade(and met alot of Diser Mom and Kids )was setting up and to many obstacle to get to the front of the Castle (but I did stay in front of the castle till 10:30PM). And then we went trick or treating and had our pictures taken. It was a bit crowded than last year (I think), which we also attended the 1st day. And less candy this time. After a series of pictures we then realize that we are now tired and to not experience again the stampede of guest we took flight at 11:30PM.By the time we got back at the hotel it was marathon packing since we are checking out Saturday AM.

Oct. 1 Saturday. I would skip this part. This is were the magical express became UNmagical and I had to make my own magic costing me an arm and a leg to get my Magical Checker cab Express . .
~ The End ~

P.S. now we start from scratch again... Scouting for PIN Codes, bargains and more Discounts till we re set to go back again. Thank you for taking the time to read. Pictures to follow.

- not working arrrrgghhhhhh

tea ? what tea ?? nothing works..

2005-09-15T03:50:00.000-04:00

for the past 48 hours I have this clummy feeling.... what to do....ok I think I am going to try to sleep... you know that thing you do where you rest your whole being including your brain....

a new day with a fresh white tea and things to ponder...

2005-09-14T01:05:00.000-04:00

to fly or not to fly that is the question.....

What kind of tea can help you ease your mind... tell me...

2005-09-11T21:50:00.000-04:00

9-11-05 What were you doing 4 years ago? What did you do today? I have a not so happy experience at 12:30 AM when I was side swept by a RED SUV maybe a Ford or a Chevy model 90s. What made me so mad was I was not able to practice what I have been preaching to all my friends and family Presence of Mind. I was able to get out of the car and listen to His (Mid 20 Male Caucasian) his song and dance and even shake his hands and introduced himself as CHRISTIAN. Next thing I know he flea the crime scene. Maybe if it were daylight he would have not had the chance to do that. I tried to chase him but by the time I got on the ramp going towards route 1 I finally lost him since the highway forked to route one and Baltimore Pike. Now how many times I reran the scenario in my mind I have so many if only I listened to myself, if only I had my guard on and did not trust anybody I would have been suspicious enough from the moment I got out and demanded the insurance card and his license, if only I did not have faith in other human being that they have the same values that I have. That if the table was turned around I would not drive away but instead make sure the other party was ok and do the right thing. When I cannot do anything anymore about the situation I went back to Dennys at route 352 to meet with the State Trooper that the 911 operators had connected me to. He was nice enough to talk to me and helped me calm down. I know there was nothing they can do at that point but buzz the rest of the troopers for the description of the RED Truck. Flashback: he must have not acquired much damage since my car only came halfway the height of his vehicle but his paint left a nice mark on my car. Wishful thinking: How I was I can afford to pay for the things that they do at the TV series CSI New York. The Trooper did scrape some of the paint and so he can have a color to base his result and I guess he felt bad and he did say that they do try to capture people who do things like this. I hope I am one of the lucky ones who he can help. At this point I have accepted the fact that I am using my insurance to fix my car that I need to come up with the deductible, that my Insurance will go a notch higher to what I am paying now. But why do I want him caught? Because what he did was wrong. Because I don’t want anybody to experience what happened to me. Because people like him makes the insurance business crazy. Because people like him can make someone learn how to hate, be leery and untrusting regardless of RACE and COLOR.

I was stopped waiting to go, I did not want to cause and accident but accident found me.
And now I don’t understand how he can be where he is right now leading his life like nothing happened.

Now when I go to the mall, to work or anywhere. I will be watching. Paranoia can be your friend; it helps your senses UP.

9-11-05 Red SUV Ford/Chevy model 90s. Mid 20s Caucasian about 5-6 to 5-11 with clean-cut hair. Scene of the Crime Ramp from route 1 going to route 352 South Bound.

I hope you had a peaceful 9-11-05
Thank you for taking the time in reading and letting me vent. No tea can calm you down when this happens to you. Well that is how I feel about it right now.

how was your LAbor Day weekend....

2005-09-06T13:39:00.000-04:00

Mine was very productive I think... Saturday morning we went to drop off our water collection at the National Guard in Vineland,NJ and that was a very good feeling. We wish we could have brought more. After our good deed for the day we went straight to the Korean BBQ Restaurant in Mt. Holly Yummy!!! Then off to the market next door. Fish, Hopia, Chippy, SPanish Bread etc. etc. etc. Thank God for the rented truck we were able to haul our grocery back home. That afternoon I got busy prep'ing for the cook out we're having Sunday! That was a feast! Again we had the fish that we bought earlier, Chicken and Beef BBQ, seasoned mackerel ( this was the highlite of our lunch Sunday!). Even if we did not get our usual spot at the Ridley Creek State Park we did end up in another good location ( next to a big dumpster!!! hehehehe ). After we got home we started our knitting and movie marathon... here are the titles of the stuff I saw this weekend... "Crash" .... then "Smile" .... and still trying to finish season 1 of "Lost" now you tell me some kind of title huh!

care packages...

2005-09-01T14:43:00.000-04:00

I have found 24 beautiful soul who are on stand by for their care packages to be sent. If there's anybody out there who feel like mailing our friends who were VICTIMIZED by Katrina please email me at jackgeorge1984@yahoo.com and I will email you back for an address to mail it to. Soap, deodorants, toothpaste and any basic necessities that can be used.

while waiting for that tea to cool down....

2005-08-31T02:07:00.000-04:00

It has been 10 days since I last posted. I should be dancing with joy since there’s only 23 more days till vacation comes! But after seeing the gas prices and the news about Katrina, I don’t feel like shouting Hooray. As I was brain storming ( hopefully better than Katrina), I found a couple of way to extend help one is with my neighbors here in the cable land and one is maybe with Red Cross. Please I strongly suggest that we extend some help. It does not have to be outrageous. There’s alot we can do. Small things can do wonders.

almost there baby!!!

2005-08-21T13:35:00.000-04:00

2005-07-07T16:17:00.000-04:00

Hey!! Remember me ??? Yes Me??? I know it has been awhile since I jotted some notes. Sorry been tied with work and have committed to so much activities that my world is spinning faster than it should. After the S.O.S. weekend everything went downhill but honestly it was not all bad! I am stuck with Adeline and Advert ( my two new instrument at work, and yes I do name my instrument like everyone else... what kind of instrument they have ?? I don't know... mine is for my livelihood... to keep me Lively ), they are just in a getting to know you mode so it does get cranky most of the times that would need alot of attention. And also we are busy planning Potsie's upcoming birthday. Yes, I know, to some of you going back to the World would be just an ordinary thing by now. But to the crazy few like US we need time to plot every single move we are going to do down there . First, I am organizing an Illumination Dessert Gathering/Party at Epcot with some my new peeps( Potsie says am in a WDW Cult and am one of the ring leader hahahahahah). This party will be for 20 or more and it is a spread of (as in EAT ALL YOU CAN need I say more ) Dessert in your own terrace.. ours will be located at the UPPER Terrace in UK,WorldShowcase.. while watching the Illumination. I know Potsie is looking forward to this since now she will not have to spread herself on the ground like waiting for the whole Eagles Football team to converge with her hahahahaha. Then off to our Mickey's Not So Scary Hallooween 2, still debating if I am going as myself Mrs Pots or change my persona for the day... I have Kimora Lee Simmons designing my Lilo outfit (yeah right hahahaha), a yellow and a red Hawaiian Dress. And also we are randomly choosing kids for some goody bags on top of the goody bag we have to bring for all our favorite CM at the restaurant. So that's how I am managing stress right now.... by reminding myself "if you plan it .. it will be fun". What else, been busy shopping for stuff.. I have accepted the fact that I will be always be HEALTHY so might as well shop for a new wardrobe !!! And yes!!! The clock is ticking till we are North carolina Bound!!! Yey!!! Time to see some family!!! Cha, ready for the BBQ ??? 'coz Potsie is ready for you and the grill!!! Well now it's time for me to call my Event caterer (sounds formal huh)!!! Have a good weekend Guys!! Don't do anything I wouldn't Do

Can't even find a time for a cup of tea...Now that is Sad!

2005-06-18T13:38:00.000-04:00

It has been awhile since I can truly say I had a very relaxing day! If my memory serves me right it was when we did our Star Wars Weekend. After that everything went downhill. The 1st week of June was very stressful since I was still hoping that I need NOT to go for the Basic Training of our new Advia120 in Tarrytown,NY. Then in-laws would be coming in the same day I start my class in NY and worrying about Potsie on how is she going to handle this by herself. At the end I still had to go which now I realize was a GOOD thing ! Potsie was nice enough to drop me off in NY Sunday June 5th after coming from another work but again this work schedule is by choice don't get me wrong! And on Monday morning off she go... back to Pa to finish her loose ends cleaning. ! 1st day of class was calm. There were 12 students in our session and half of us had hands on already which made the instructors life very easy... so they say! After breaking the ice at around 10AM which was our second meal of the day already!!! I started to loosen up and let my guard down a little. The Hotel was great I have 2 queen size beds all to myself. Starbucks 24/7 from caffe latte to all the tazo tea I want yum!!! Eating like a pig never made me feel this guilty hahahahahah so I started my day with a 30 minute walk at the mill (honestly I just wanted to try the Hotel's work out room) shuttle bus pick us up at the hotel at 7:30AM which was early but I guess it's OK since you saturate yourself with all the food and caffeine they offer you. And that's all I did for 4 days... eat... drink and be merry and learn a little bit :o) Wednesday night Potsie and her mom came, since class ends on Thursday PM. Thursday was OK, after class we head straight to the OUTLETS got a couple of good buys and went back to NJ to pick up Potsie's dad. From their.... off to AC,NJ we go... Checked in at the Taj Mahal .. again for a very DECENT PRIZE :o) and was planning to head back down to the Casino at around 3 Am but never woke up. So we just waited till we checked out and then did a little leap Frog'ing. On our way back to Pa we have so many plans like fishing, picnic etc. But Potsie was beat and so am I and so we just ended up taking the folks to King of Prussia for more shopping not for US but for Cherry, Potsies sister who is in SD,Ca (needed to clear thatr in the air if you kow what I mean!). Sunday came and off to Chinatown for some Dim Sum. Some Photo APS and off we go back to our humble home since Pots have to go to work that night. Monday the 13th mom and dad are flying out of PHL at 1PM. I know this got Potsie sad but what else can we do ? Thank God Potsie have the SOS to look forward too that night. Went home took a nap so we'll have energy to consume at the much awaited CONCERT. Left the house at 4PM, stopped at Cookie Corner had some soup and sandwich. It was way to hot to be outside and so we killed some time in the restaurant. Around 6PM we head back to the venue and waited..... bless their soul they let us in at the bar to wait. All in all the night was great and Potsie danced her heart out! I was glad. And now I look forward to next weekend where I am OFF Friday and Saturday and can recoup all those busy bee lines I did. For now I must end this for I am running late with work AGAIN ;o(

Tea ?? No time for Tea... what consumed my Memorial Weekend....

2005-05-29T18:55:00.000-04:00

Ok I know to some this would sound stupid or even a disgrace to my generation... But you have to understand when "The Empire Strikes Back" came about I was just uprooted to a place where I had been calling home since I opened my eyes. it has only been a few months and I was still learning not one but two language.. my native tongue and English if I want to be admitted in school....The movie came and went... And I was homesick and hated the place where I was. A couple of years later ...When "The Return of the Jedi" came... My brother and his friend was stuck baby sitting me which mean I had to come along. I was bribed with popcorn,candies and soft drinks (how primitive if you look back no such thing as soda nor pop.. It was soft drinks in a plastic bag since my brother did not want to pay a deposit for the bottle of soda). I have all the excuses so I can go out of the theater.. no more candy, no more drink and had to pee a million times. Once back in the movie house ( yes thats what we call it back then ) I was looking at my brother and friends.. How stupid they look for crying over a dying green doll and a black ugly robot (which now I found out one of my favorite guy.. The Verizon Man ). Years past... And I never look back... Manage to ignore the growing craze about Star Wars. Two episode came about and still did not really got into it. I somehow manage to escape the radar. And now we have Episode III, OK I think it's about time I really sit down and try to understand why I had gone for hunting Star Wars item for friends for gifts and token of appreciation,why it was a must, why Star Wars item was the super special true gift they can ever receive. I was not doing anything this memorial Weekend so might as well waste it in vegetating and watching those Robots. I started my journey with Episode I, interesting... The boy was cute thats about it... More popcorn more excuses not to finish it but then there's that thing now known as "Pause:" and "Play"no excuse this time. Sat down and finally finished it. It was interesting, it had sunk in. This is what my brother was looking forward too, my Potsie getting excited about games. On to Episode II.. I was still in denial... I said.. I am watching itcozI like Ewan McGregor and I was upset that Liam Neeson died they might bring him back plus I like the boy too who played the young Anakin. No more popcorn this time no other sound and was holding my pee, I have to find out what's going to happen with Anakin, he have grown as cocky as a Cow dung!!! After unanswered question... Grab my jeans and Potsie and off to the theater( movie house I think was the term ) no soda in a plastic bag but nice Diet Coke with Splenda, no pop corns but instead some Pretzel with nacho cheese and raisinets. Just sitting there in the dark waiting for the show had brought tears in my eyes. I am OLD !!!! Time had changed. And I bought my own ticket this time and nobody had to twist my arm but instead I almost twisted someones arm.. A kid.. Since he doesn't really know why people are going crazy over this movie and was busy text messaging in his cell phone . After seeing the turn of events with Episode III it was not enough.... Now I had to go home and watch it all over again.... From Stars Wars the beginning... The Empire Strikes back and Finally where I started decades ago... The Return of the Jedi..... It was a very rewarding feeling... Now I know how it feels, Now I am One with the Force.. It was truly magical.

tea of the month.... TAzo Calm love it love it love it...

2005-05-26T01:09:00.000-04:00

this was a free tea bag that had picked up and gave it to me... been looking for it but only Starbucks carry it then... I then found the greet tea... also by Tazo at pathmark and like that too.. Finally !! Calm is now being sold at my Pathmark... ohhh very calming.. very soothing.... We have two things that we are going to chat about this morning.. unless I remember something else.... First I am very proud of myself... yes I am giving myself an A+ and I hope Potsie was not just saying it to make me feel good... Anyway.. last night we decided not to go to the Korean Market on Wednesday morning since it's going to rain and might have trouble in driving back and getting to work on time, so I just decided to cook something.. orig'ly I was planning to tackle bistik (beef steak Pinoy style) but as I was shopping for meat at 1AM I saw this cubed cut beef,,, it said serloin beef for fondue recipes... never saw this before.. and it was on sale too so can't pass the sale I bought about 4 packs... got home and don't know what to do with it.... Suddenly I had a dream :o) BOPIS!!!! I never tasted Bopis, never cooked it nor have the recipe for it... so hey.. Let me check the internet I said to myself.. and Voila.. there's that recipe!!! Again if you really know me I never follow the step by step process of a recipe.. I just like to see what are the ingredients... after a serious reading I mixed and matched....while waiting for it to be cooked.. I also made Tinola with sayote chicken wings.. that I had no problem... Finally I said this is it am done... turn off the stove wash up and went to bed around 3AM.... Potsie came home.. ate breakfast.. and there you go.. she did say it does taste like Bopis!!! Yehey!!! I did it again! Ok.. the next topic is way to far off about food this is about a lifetime movie that is already out on DVD Titled "Gracie's Choice" base on a true story, you have the need to cry you have to watch this movie it is really good and will touch your heart that you would wanna go out and do a good a deed! Another movie we saw was Subject Zero... great movie.. a lil flat on the ending but still a good movie...And about "Flight of the Phoenix" We have tried to watch this movie but if I am going to convince myself to fly soon... I think we really need to just not watch this movie... if you know what I mean.. well off to seeing "The Aviator" will tell you what happend ...toddles...

Urge for coffee...

2005-05-13T16:26:00.000-04:00

Ok the weekend is almost here...8 more hours of HARD work and off to the TAMBAKAN... And the weekend is going to be yukky per the weather guy but then what do they really know. Thinking about the span of time that I will be waiting is really making me feel so restless... 4 months 1 week ... till we celebrate Potsie's Bday and MNSSHP. In a way it's great since I have not found the perfect costume. Last year was great! I was Mrs. Pots for real! And even the CMs at the park was amazed... and was ready to ask for autographed too I got so much hugs from the kids ... love that the most! BTW I just found the roll of film used last Trick or Treat 2004 with my 2 out of 3 favorite kids Dodong and Carengkeng!!! Purdoy was with us at the park so you know we have lots of pictures. Ok.. On to the movies.... I saw "The Final Cut"( story line stayed on about a guy who cuts bad memory in someone's past by using a chip that was embedded at the diseased... You might think that in a way this is happening now. I saw my friends husband funeral where they had a wide screen outside the chapel showing how happy and alive his past was with all his baby pictures to adulthood.. Just thinking about it.. Creepy) some may say its boring and unrealistic but I liked it and it was so ironic since after that movie I then pop in Neverland ( story is based from the life of the author and maker of Peter Pan... Genius work !!!) which was the exact opposite era of The Final Cut, that I like too, it even got me crying. Hmmmm now weekend is here and have to get ready for another movie marathon. Dear folks...it's Friday the 13th... Be safe and be well.... till next tea time...

I really need a cup of tea...

2005-05-10T01:42:00.000-04:00

Ok... I better start watching what I eat. For some reason I have not unplugged the vaca mode and still eating to my hearts delight. Just like now as soon as I got home I grab the left over paksiw na Salmon courtesy of Potsie and not stopping I move on to eating more Cheez it thanks to Star Wars we have 2 boxes at home, they are giving free poster if you send 2 UPC of Cheez it and Potsie being the ChewDbaka fan I had to buy some !!! As I was eating the Cheez it I remember that I have some ground beef waiting to be cook and if I put it in the freezer it will just end up in the trash can weeks from now so what the heck I did surgery with the S'gettie from a friend and made some more sauce Voila!!! taste like freshly made heheheh. Ok.. Let's go check movies... You know how much I D O N ' T like J.Lo but I love Susan Sarandon so I had to watch "Shall we Dance". Now I need someone's input here. In the feed back pages of this movie they have stated that Richard Gere did not cheat, was not cheating, was not doing anything wrong blah..blah..blah.. But in what I saw what he did I considered cheating. His explanation to Sue (the wife in the movie Susan S) that the reason why he was not able to tell her was because he don't want to hurt that SOMEONE whom he really love.... Like how can he say... he wants to be happier and he will be happier if he learn how to dance ??? So what was that about where he looks at J.Lo Lustingly ( if there is just a word.. no there's no such thing )???? that is cheating !! and to top it all HE DID NOT tell Sue and Lied about his whereabouts ! So.. What do you think ??? ok.. I am going to make that tea before I hit the bed and I expect you ponder on this !! What is cheating really and Did he cheat ??? I'll be waiting for you thoughts...

while I was brewing my tea I found this online and have to share it with you

A Filipino applies for a Job at Wal-Mart: An office manager at Wal-Mart was given the task of hiring an individual to fill a job opening. After sorting through a stack of resumes he found four people who were equally qualified: an American, a Russian, an Australian and a Filipino. He decided to call the four in and ask them only one question. Their answer would determine which of them would get the job. The day came and as the four sat around the conference room table the interviewer asked, "What is the fastest thing you know of?" Acknowledging Dave, the American on his right, the man replied, "A THOUGHT." It just pops into your head. There's no warning that it's on the way; it's just there. A thought is the fastest thing I know of." "That's very good!" replied the interviewer. "And now you, sir?" he asked Vladimir, the Russian. "Hmm... let me see. A blink! It comes and goes and you don't know that it ever happened. A BLINK is the fastest thing I know of." "Excellent!" said the interviewer. "The blink of an eye, that's a very popular cliché for speed." He then turned to George, the Australian who was contemplating his reply. "Well, out at my dad's ranch, you step out of the house and on the wall there's a light switch. When you flip that switch, way out across the pasture the light in the barn comes on. Yep, TURNING ON A LIGHT is the fastest thing I can think of." The interviewer was very impressed with the third answer and thought he had found his man. "It's hard to beat the speed of light" he said. Turning to Eleuterio, the Filipino, the fourth and final man, the interviewer posed the same question. Eleuterio replied, "Apter herring da 3 frevyos ansers sirrr, et's obyus to me dat the fastest thang known is Diarrhea." "WHAT!?" said the interviewer, stunned by the response. "O I can expleyn serrr," said Eleuterio. "You see serr, da other day I wasn't peeeling so good and I run soo fast to the CR or bathroom, But, before I could THINK, BLINK, or TURN ON THE LIGHT, ay 'tang ina, I already had a big tae, ka-ka or poo-poo in my pants." Eleuterio is now the new "Greeter" at Wal-Mart

Hello..Hello..hello... I know... it took me 20 days or more before I got the energy to sit infront of the window to chit chat with you. Last time I was here I was getting ready to spend a grand time in the WORLD. Well, that really went well. We got to the WORLD with the best ever weather mind you I had a picture taken infront of Cindy's castle wearing denim jeans with no fan and no towel. The WORLD was a bit crazy than previous days but who am I to complain when I was savoring the 65 degree weather on top of that the rest of my family in the WORLD celebrated my birthday for the whole week. And you would think only Cindy has a week long Cinderellabration! Well Honey her party was nothing compared to mine. Cakes here and there, Pluto calling me left and right and oh my I was one minute a babe the next was a sweetie is that exciting or what! You would never get that reception with your real blood family! But that was only icing on the cake. We have two of our HUMAN family Cha and Lhey which made the Timmieday even more memorable! And don't forget the impromptu HULA dance of Potsie ohhh those hips did sway back and forth .. everything hanging loose hehehehe. Also we did the Segway Tour which was awesome (except for the charlie horse when I was stiff as a board) Robert and Larry the CM who helped us learn to Segway was great... BTW Pots don't forget to send Larry some pics I promised! I know I know.. I can't stop talking about how grand the week was. But I should stop here before I end up missing the BIG HOUSE and also do an impromtu trip. The Trip on June is canceled since Potsie's HUMAN family is coming over and on the same week I have to go to Nueba York to train for a week.. hmmm what a coingkie dink ... Movies.. let's talk about movies.... We just recently saw "Phantom of the Opera" the movie.... well it was OK... Potsie loved it .. me ... so..so.. my loyalty stays with the play but the movie is also worth watching it gives you and in depth point by point explanation and CHRISTINE wasnt pretty enough instead I enjoyed Carlotta's part which was played by Minnie driver. Hmm since we got back we must have seen about 5 to 6 movies but I can't remember it all right now. I am getting ready to see NATIONAL TREASURES they said that is good. Well I'll tell you as soon as finished watching it. But for now I need to mellow out. I am so hyper tonight since I had some regular TWININGS TEA courtesy of Potsie from the food counter of the WORLD thank God there was no counter Police ~~..... Till our next tea time....~~

Ok... I know it has been a couple days since I was able to gab with you. It is now 3AM and I can't just go to bed without sharing with you what a lovely movie I just have seen "A Touch of Pink" a story of indian boy who was born in Kenya, grew up in Toronto and moved to England and found the love of his life. tha is where am going to stop. It is upto to watch it. You would adore Alim's (that was the boy who then turn into a Man who moved to Engaland) mother Nuru! It does bring butterflies to your heart! Very fresh and heart warming... Ok that's all for now!!! Good'day

ok this is just a test....

2005-03-30T01:55:00.000-05:00
OK... I dont know what I am dong but I think I did it right!!! I really want to do this on my own ... but I think .. eventually I will beasking Potsie's help which am trying not to but am starting to get frustrated arrghhhh.. ok try the link below.. Please!!! :o(

http://com3.runboard.com/brainbowclickersinwdw

been Sluggish tea wont cut it need a strong JAVA!!!

2005-03-26T13:21:00.000-05:00
Ok.. I don't know why but I am feeling sluggish ?? Or maybe am just tired. Been stuck at the benches with a grouchy crew but that would be for a different segment and will not be on this segment. Anyways.. went back to work at the happy Place lotsa new stuff to buy and see arrghhhh I love that and hate it at the same time... can't wait maybe this is one reason why I am like this 21 more days and before we get there I have to jump hoops in order to get there... tax time.. car insurance.. mortgage.. yada..yada..yada.. Ok..Ok..Ok.. let's get to it.. when I got home this morning from work me and Potsie saw Sharktale it's an OK movie. yes that's it an OK movie if you really have nothing better to do or to watch.. then go see this movie. The highlight of this movie for me was prior to watching this movie I heard a conversation between a father and a 3y/o daughter that goes like this:

3 y/o:( running to Bruce the plush toy,character from the movie nemo) daddy.. look bruce!!!

father: Oh yes! bruce your favorite, let's go pay for bruce so you can go home and see Sharktale again!!!

Ngek!!! Bruce for Nemo... Lenny for Sharktale.. get with the program here Mister !!!

Well gotta go.. things to do.. places to see.. WORK to do arrggggg

Have a nice Easter and LET THE BUNNY GO!!!

PS.. yes am still talking about my beverage of choice!!!

2005-03-22T22:51:00.000-05:00
One thing I learn in life never offer anybody the kind of drink you like, offer them someone out of your menu so just in case they throw it away.. your feelings won't get hurt... better yet don't offer anybody anything.. wait till they ask for one so then by the time you give it to them... they can't say you FORCED it to them... and it will be your fault if they get burnt! Just like what EDNA ( from the Incredibles I love her) would say... "whatever darling" !!!

do you really know what flavor tea do you like ???

2005-03-22T22:33:00.000-05:00
Ok... As society discover all the different flavor of tea to a point now that we have the "chai" which I have not tried yet since I am not a fan of cream being in my tea. I like my tea CLEAR... where I can see if there's any tea leaves floating around. I don't like cream in my tea to blur my thoughts and not find out that the tea bag burst and next thing you know... the only thing you can do with that cup of tea that you lovingly prepare is to just toss it.. what after adding the right amount of sweetener, the cream and here you are thinking Yum.. this will be a good cup of chai... then what ???there's that bitter taste ??? surprising you and leaving you speechless.... some people.. like me... may just dump it off and maybe go to starbucks.. pay good money and let someone prepare my coffee... yes not tea.. I have the tendency of looking back and hit myself for taking all the time in making that so called chai to perfection and not realized that the bag of the tea I used was not strong enough with all the stirring I did. So hey!!! let someone make it for me granted I have to pay good money for a Starbucks coffee but then I can easily go back and complain about it if I don't like what they did with my coffee. But then if you have patience.... some people will trek back to the kitchen find a strainer.. take all those gook off the so called chai and maybe just maybe .. even reheat it in the microwave and tell their selves... hey this chai will be good to the last drop...but then what... after they finished that cup of chai.. still there will be that muddy looking paste at the bottom of your cup.. all because you want to have that chai, why cant you just have a regular tea or maybe even flavored but make it the old way of making tea.... with hot water and if you want it sweet just add your sugar or your sweetener of choice and if you really want to splurge.. add some lemon! There !!! This will always be my cup of tea... Gourmet or plain.. it would be... a tea bag... with or without sweetener... and maybe a little lemon (if you really have to give me the Lipton by the bulk kind ;o)) is that hard to make ??? Comments anybody ???

fresh cup of tea...

2005-03-21T21:04:00.000-05:00
I know it has been awhile, I almost went out of biz... why ?? ask the main Potsie!!! Anyway... had a great weekend!!! Saturday 3/19 sun was out and so was 75 Mickey Statue in Washington,DC... stayed in a comfortable hotel and had a feast on Sunday 3/20 1st for breakfast at the Sea Grill located at the lobby of the hotel mind you it was buffet!!! Yum... and Lunch was again buffet at Phillips in Baltimore.

Ok to continue with our movie flicks... if you have not seen Notebook and you feel like you need to release some tucked away emotions... this is the movie to do it!!! You need a box of that Puff Aloe Tissue from beginning to end. Not to good but not bad either was the movie Paparazzi... ifr only this could happen in real life !!! Hmmm!!! Well that's all for now... The struggle in losing weight is still on....

tea ?? going out of business...

2005-03-11T08:18:00.000-05:00
I will have to take a break and not necessarily a tea break... I just found the tea bag was broken and some tea leaves was in my tea need to do some filtering... Till next time

PS:

2005-03-08T01:55:00.000-05:00
OK I finally finished the movie "Love me if you dare" It does have a happy stupid ending so you really have to check it. How much can you love someone ?? And to what extent you are going to love that someone .... Give that someone a hug and a kiss and let them know how much they make your world a better place to be in....

again no tea for the day I overslept...

2005-03-08T00:49:00.000-05:00
OK, I will make this short and sweet. But before anything else it was really nice to get to talk to my friends in NC Hope to see you soon guys!!! Ok.. what happend today ??? I slept till around 12 Noon which means I missed 2 meals arrgggg went to rent some movies and started watching "Love me if you dare" a foreign movie but I think it was good.. well that is why I am cutting this short since I have to see the conclusion of the movie :o) Got busy at work and got busy playing over the net so did not have time to watch it. In the AM I have to be at RMH to work for a couple of hours and then off to churn my butter at the big house ! Okie dokie .. Diet was fine kinda hard today after a big bountiful brunch yesterday at Hibachi!

Tea ?? what Tea ???

2005-03-06T00:28:00.000-05:00
Tea ?? ? Did not get to drink any, it's Saturday am taking a day off! But still tried to watch what I shove in my mouth.. Sunday again the weekend is over another 12 days of work... Thank God we are done with Uncle Sam. It sucks when you see how much he charge you just to be able to support yourself, and what is more frustrating is when you see someone with all those Bling Bling, nice leather jackets and Cadillac and paying the market with an access card!! I know I know.. that is a different segment .. excuse me I just can't help it.. anyway on with the movie of the night..... we just got done watching the movie "Exorcist the Beginning".. It has the effect of an old suspense thriller movie till the almost look alike Linda Blair started acting like Keanu Reeves in Matrix. All in all it scared the you know what out of us. So if you are a fan of the old scary movies like phantasm.. Ammityville etc. you would see that in this movie. Not the new computer generated suspense thriller!

Boiling Tea...

2005-03-05T12:38:00.000-05:00
Ok... it is Saturday and am off for a change thank god for Lourdes! She is a good friend and our part time crew at work... Potsie left for work around 11AM and here I am casnataing my morning away. The sun is out a nice day for walk .. you think am going to walk ?? I enjoy vegetating what can I say... This afternoon we are going to check how much Uncle Sam had taken from us... how I wish we could win the lottery so I can go back to school get my mom and dad to come back and me and Potsie don't have to work as hard... but then... we would have another kind of problem by then but who knows if you have all that money problem would come buy easy... be careful what you wish for.. Ok..Ok..Ok.. I just wish am in Florida right now ! Not b'cuz of the weather but am just tired with work! I can't wait for the next vacation. Anyway regarding the boiling tea... last night at work this two LIS person got me so mad and a cave size of a headache. Why ???? Well our lab is not well ventilated and since its still considered winter ( yeah right ) we cannot open the windows since its locked and can you imagine two mouths that are both causing HAVOC in the room and I was so frustrated since I ran out of air freshener which I always have since my co workers just love to do no. 2 (of course in the bathroom located in the lab :o< )in the lab and again aromatized the whole lab yuck! So finally my manager had seen my dilemma and lent me her own bottle of vanilla freshener and offered me a pack of gum, not for me but for them. I did went back to the room spray some and asked them if they want some gum of course after I chew one to not insult them to much Geezz!! Lee,, the main breather ! said.. "oh thank you am fine" I said no, please have some.. he really thinks I was being nice ! mama mia!!! Then the second guy Rob - the lesser stinker- well what about me.. I said of course you two(too)! And even after the gum they still urrghhhh!!! Bleached the counter and left the bleach infront me... I hate bleach but I rather smell bleach and diminished the size of my lungs that be Stinknified !! So pls. as I always say to anybody if I can be late bec. I have to take a bath so as not to give you ahead ache you too can be late and scrape that tongue and brush your teeth! I know I know I am a procrastinator to brushing too but I do brush my teeth and even have a spare spin cycle type of brush at work! So there !! that's one of the thing that can make my tea boil! Enjoy your weekend guys!! Me am just looking forward for brunch tomorrow... salmo... sushie... cheesecake Yum!!!!

Late for tea...

2005-03-04T02:05:00.000-05:00
Ok..Ok.. I know I should have done this earlier but am to busy getting updates for our trip this April!!! You know me gotta check all the new stuff at the happy Place! Yes.. to some we both look stupid for doing this trips so many times but that is the only trip we know that we weill love and enjoy. Yes there are other places to see and check out.. but would you pass you favorite food let say chocolate to eat "bittetmellon" ?? No right ?? My point exactly... Ok.. rough brass.. no movie no gossip... till next tea time.. Oh yes I missed my tea time at 11AM yesterday did not wake up... arrgghhhh...

Bored with Tea...

2005-03-03T13:51:00.000-05:00
Ok... I did not stay online this morning till 2AM as what I usually do. Being tired sometime is a good thing for me. Worked 2 double days in a row, well that is done till next week again. I really have to think about this double days, if it is not with the happy Place I should say No! But then when I look at the checking account that is when I ended up saying Yes.. Oh well.. "The bare necessities I know ".. Let's go to more harder task! Today would be 4th day trying to loose weight, I don't see any result yet and I know it will take awhile. I still try to stick to this Low Cal diet and hopefully get to my feet to walk again, which is a dillema because of those 'tupid double days! No..No..No.. I am ot making any excuses! But am trying. As what I have been telling the WISH group at the Dis Forum my friends husband was a wake up call... at a young ripe age of 34 2 weeks ago he passed away with massive heart attack( bangungot) and what was traumatic about it was that my friend was next to him when this was happening. My friend got home from work same time I go home and the husband made her dinner they ate and went to bed. At around 3AM he was shivering in the dark my friend thought he was playing and she told him to quit fooling around and go to sleep since he works in the morning. Well a couple minutes later she turned on the light and he was still shivering and had turned blue. She called 911 and when they got there they where able to revive him but did not make it to the hospital( please include them in your prayers). They have one son. How do you go through with life with an experience like that. I know we all are going to die.. Eventually but it is something I think that I would never be able to prepare myself. Loosing a love one is tough! And also that's a reminder that we all need to appreciate all the people who love us.. I guess even those who aren't.. hahaha but thats another segment for our tea time. It is past 2PM and I need to eat lunch now. Movies ?? I have not seen any .. sorry been busy with life and busy trying to save lives !!! hahahahahahah

Peach Tea...

2005-03-02T01:09:00.000-05:00
After contemplating on what size bathing suit I am going to buy I decided to try it one more time... As of 12 midnight last night marked my second day of watching what I eat.. and no it was not like before that I watch what I eat and keep on eating hahahah I am now trying again what I did 5 years ago when I ballooned to 180 lbs well now am 194lbs. it will take me a long time to get it down but I am not wishing for a drastic change.. 1 lb at a time is fine all I need is patience and a good moraL support... well I guess thats all for this morning.. tune in... Ok..Ok... sorry for the font am experimenting with everything !!! And I have to break this contemplation on Sunday when me and Potsie sample Hibachi's brunch hehehe and btw I have been drinking Peach tea for my 11:00AM snack along with my peach cup!! See there's a reason to my madness!!!

no tea for this morning...

2005-03-01T02:04:00.000-05:00
Got home safe.. snowing hard in Philly... Potsie did not go to work.. did I say more ???

[Listening to: Hip To Be Square (NBOX RADIO: KMGX - The Best Mix of the 80s, 90s and Today) - Huey Lewis & the News - (0:-1)]

Grrrrrrrrrr!

2005-02-28T00:17:00.000-05:00
OK... I thought it did go through but I was wrong... let me start all over again.... Should I say that I started my previous chicka with hmm did I have tea or coffee ?? the answer was decaf coffee..."gathering thoughts" Ok..Ok.. I got it... where were we ?? yesterday Sunday morning we went treaking to Philadelphia to sample the Chart House Brunch btw last time we were in NJ, Kuya NoNo, Miss Mela and my favorite godson ( again big boy na siya :o( not a baby anymore as he reminded me several times that weekend) took us for brunch in Weehawken,NJ branch of Chart House and I tell you we had a bountiful brunch for a very good prize. I never realize till then that they have brunch since I only know Chart House for Steaks dinner and it is the best when you have a date who'll foot the bill hehehehe which again stops (meaning the dining for steaks in Chart House) when 'namay introduced Arthur's in Hoboken ( where Frank Sinatra was born 'namay might add}!! YUM!!! very good steak esp'ly with an order of a large glass of Birch beer! Anyway when we got to the Chart House here in Philadelphia it was a bit disappointing... their brunch is a one entree brunch with unlimited mamosa,pastry and salad bar. But for a difference of $6.00 I would rather pay the little extra buck and all the crab cakes I want.. all the egg benedicts and omelet!!! And the pastry was a let down!!! So next week we will sample the brunch at Hibachi which is located on the same strip with the same view of the NJ penetentiary !!!! hahahahha

Ok.. movies.. I got nothing to tell since all I have seen or we have seen was the 1st season of the L Word. It was a very cute and interesting show esp'ly if you are touched by the ray of the Rainbow you would know what I mean and my goodness 'namay is in denial but she is obssessed with Shane one of the cute character in the show but she won't admit it and it's OK... . just never saw her like that before.. well I think I did at one time but then we don't want to discuss that part of our lives anymore hahahahaha Well I guess that's it for nw.. hoepfully this time this would be here next time I come back :o) Snow forecast tomorrow !! SHould I stay or should I go now.. la..la..la.. :o)

Cold tea...

2005-02-23T01:40:00.000-05:00
Well it's that bewitching hour again... Yes, am done playing Canasta and I thouhgt it would be nice to update you what happend over the weekend. Well, we went to visit my inaanak (godson) in NJ and after seeing him made me realize two things (well maybe three things) that one he is getting bigger and not my favorite baby anymore but a big boy as He (Dean) corrected me from time to time and two that I am out of the loop when it comes to kids fashion with shows and toys.. atleast the two things I brought him was still in his "list" of toys!!! Well the 3rd thing I'll still share with you... that I wish I have my own.. there I have said it.. but I have accepted the fact already so let's move on with the rest of my chicka (story). We got there late Saturday afternoon and drove straight to Chinatown in NY, had a feast at Mr. Tang, the family favorite restaurant for peking Duck and Dungeness crabs. Soon after, we went to this Tea house where they gave us the wrong order but it was OK since I was so full to care. And after that.... Mela my favorite kumare and denstist decided to take us to this pastry shop so we can buy some stuff to take home for dessert on Sunday ( which did not materialize since we did eat the sweet stuff that same night as asoon as we got home)! It was refreshing to be with family. And so we got home... after some time past... Mela and Dean had to go night night since it was way way way pass their bedtime it was 12:30AM, then three of us headed to the basement to have a movie marathon! SO HERE'S THE SCOOP!!!! YES THERE IS A REASON TO MY MADNESS!!! First we watch "Saw" it was so mind bugling that am still in awe just thinking about it it is a MUST SEE!! Go On rent it buy it just GO SEE IT!!! By the time we were ready to watch the second movie "The Cellular" Kuya NoNo backed out... time for meds and went night night too this was around 2:45AM about the second movie.. it was ok.. but not as good as "Saw". The plot was simple just a typical scenario but it was the technology of the cellular phone and how we are so attached to it was depicted in the movie that made it so interesting. So for the 2 movie it is 4 thumbs up.. mine and Potsie's!!! Well that's all for this morning folks... am out... well not that out am semi out hahahahahhaa if you know what I mean!

Almost a spilled Tea...

2005-02-15T22:35:00.000-05:00
Finally... out of 3 rented movies again ... a Big "no" (meaning don't rent OK !!) for the movie Tiptoes and Wicker Park, The Eye, a foreign movie was a good one it is a bit scary but it didn't bother me that much since I was watching it with Potsie... Potsie on the other hand was Terrfied with a capital T ... well I can say it did scare me a bit since when her mom called we both jump when the phone rang. Anyway... part of The Eye was Ok a 3.5 from a rating of 1 to 5 1 being the lowest rank. But the Eye 2 was also OKI but it is more of a comedy. I guess it does seems funny for anybody who really don't understand the Chinese-Japanese traditions.. traditions of reincarnation. "white" books believe in reincarnation but they picture it as a good thing.. Here in the movie Eye 2 they showed it as an scary thing and since Joey which was the main character in the movie was portrayed as a modern woman so she was out of touch of their tradtions and it seems all to scary for her and thats what they capitalized on. Where can you find that a woman who jump from a bldg fell and still alive and since the dead didnt want her to die .. Joey manage to climb again the bdlg and jump for the 2nd time.. and finally the dead woman said.. I cant let you die, I beg you, I want to forget everything. So finally Joey decides to let her reincarnate through her baby.. But Geeshh.. would Joey the mother ever forget all the scar and broken bones she experienced ??? Ironinc huh! BTW the dead woman was really the wife of Joey's Boyfriend who jump infront of an LRT.. well I dont know what they call it in Hongkong but in the Phils... they call it LRT in NJ the famous Path train... OK she jump bec. the husband was cheating on her with Joey and at the end Joeys baby would be the dead wife !! There the whole story of The Eye 2... hmmmm I have a couple more hours to play canasta and tomorrow AM I am "call in" for the Happy place.. hopefully Debra won't need me and at 3:30PM back to MHP I go.... till next time!...

Post Valentine anxiety...

2005-02-15T04:01:00.000-05:00
Ok.. what am I doing at 4:05AM well I am going to tell you.

Hmmm what am I doing at 3:45AM still up... aaah but that is normal unless am working at the Happy Place I sure will be stuck here playing Canasta. But this morning I have another reason why I am stile crunching on with the keys my neck is throbing!!! Ironic I say... It cost to much money to put myself in this kinda pain. I found out yesterday that those skin tags on my neck were skin Virus!! Yuck!!! It does loook ugly once they start multiplying and so finally my friend Lourdes who also is a Happy person like me well.. it was not laid on the ground but you know if someone is happy !!?? are you happy??? Well anyway Yes I should blame Lourdes she was the one who introduce me to the world of beautification with pain. Hopefully their promises are true in 2 weeks I would look like Wynona Rider ... hahahha the moving truck Rider maybe !!! Hmmmm but look at the bright side by the time I see all the princesses again I'll be as pretty as them.... Well I guess that's all for now folks! I will update you on how this skin tags fall... tomorrow... and tomorrow and tomorrow... till the 2 weeks is over...
