Flowers and Money

Floral Love

Edited a few photos today. This has to be my favorite set. :) I took some of these photos in our farm in Tupi, some were from the Agro Fair at SM. I don't have a green thumb but I''ve always loved looking at green stuff. :)


Love or Money?

If someone offered you $1,000,000.00 for a night with your wife / husband, would you accept it?

Most of us would probably say no, basing on the premise that love cannot be bought. But last night, I watched a very eye-opening movie that showed what could happen if someone actually traded his/her loved one for money. The lead male character was named David, an architect and her wife was Diana, a real estate broker. Earlier in the movie, they were enjoying a life of abundance until they were affected by the recession. The couple got laid off from their repsective jobs and they were losing their budget day by day. They were troubled with how they could pay off their debts and mortgage. One night, David decided to take Diana to Las Vegas. There, they met a billionaire named John Gage who was severely attracted to Diana. And afterwards, everything else happened on a whirlwind.

The title of the movie is Indecent Proposal, starring American actors and actresses whose names I have no idea at all. Haha. But since I started watching it during my bedtime and it kept me awake for two more hours, it's a good movie after all.

Semi-Lazy Weekend

Saturday was busy. My dad and bro went out of town so only the Tres Marias - me, my sister and Mama - were at home. My sis joined the PMT chuva in their school and she's currently an officer. She and the other officers among her batch had a Silent Drill last Saturday at the UP Mindanao Campus, where they were invited to perform an intermission number for the sportsfest of several ROTC students from various schools. And because I am such a stage sister, I dragged The Boy to accompany me and went all the way up the bukid to watch them.

I wasn't a PMT officer so I was pretty impressed with what they did. March here, march there, straight line here and there. Their uniform is truly gorgeous; it made them look like they were from the PMA. And I guess the highlight was the rifle-throwing tricks that made the audience gasp each time. The crowd went wild too when they danced Nobody, a Hagibis song and some budots tune.

My sis comes from a classy private school. The audience in the program were from the not-so-sosyalan schools in the city. If the program happened during our time, there would be rampant backstabbing and nasty side comments from everywhere. However, this time, it was very different. I was standing among the audience and I never heard any rude remark or vicious comment from them; they just sat and enjoyed the show. If they gave any extreme remarks, either they were amazed or they were gushing at one of the hot cadets performing. Good to know that times have changed, if it did.

Today, Sunday, was oh so lazy. I went to church in the morning and stayed home in the afternoon, watched four episodes of 90210 and daydreamed of food. :)

I'm still in this happily-in-love bubble. Can't stop heaving sighs punctuated with a smile. Basta masaya. :)

Twenty-eight.

Kinidnap ko si Lalake ngayong araw. Sinundo ko siya mula sa kanyang trabaho, sinama sa mga lakad na inutos ni King Triton. Kumain kami sa peyborit naming restaurant, yung sa tabing dagat. Kumain kami hanggang sa makita namin yung ilalim ng palayok ng Sinigang na Hipon. Panay pa tawanan namin, at malamang nakita ng waitress kanina ang mga kumikislap naming mga mata na parang mga adik na nakatira ng baby powder.

Mula pa nung dose anyos ako, naniniwala ako na may special power si Lalake. Meron syang relaxing energy na puno ng positivity at happiness, kahit hindi siya adik. Tuwing kasama ko siya, pakiramdam ko nakasakay ako sa carousel ng Enchanted Kingdom, nakangiti from ear to ear at ine-enjoy ang paligid kong umiikot. Hindi ako makapaniwala na may nakilala akong taong may dalang calming effect sa akin, mas matapang pa sa SalonPas. Sa totoo lang, hindi ko alam kung ano na ang nangyari sa akin sakaling wala sya sa buhay ko nung mga nakaraang buwan. Naloka na siguro ako.

Gustong-gusto ko yung pagspoil niya sa akin, kahit wala akong hinihingi o dinedemand sa kanya. Gusto ko yung style niya na sinasabi nya yung mga salitang dapat kong marinig, at hindi yung gusto ko lang marinig. At ang saya ng pakiramdam na tuwing naglalakad kami, parang may magnet ang mga kamay namin na automatic nagdidikitan na agad. I love his real, pure and positive presence. Walang preservatives. :)
