Buses

Hello everyone!


Good day!


Hey, hey, hey I am back!

Yeah, I know it's been ages and I am sorry. I am really adjusting to all the mommy duties and now finally I'm getting used to it. So, am I forgiven? Say yes. :)


Well, what's new? Nothing much.

Oh yeah, there is something to share about living east of Manila. I've been living in Rizal since 1985 on and off and one thing is constant the G-Liner buses. I studied in Sta. Mesa and during my time the LRT 2 was not yet constructed so we rely on these buses, I actually call these bus Gapang Liner (G stands for Gapang, peace out) especially those times that I left home late and my first class is 7.30am haha!

Lately, like 3 or 4 years ago some other buses appeared from nowhere and providing more choices for passengers. They are big helped during rush hours. Call me loyal to these buses, even with the other choices and added feature offered by other buses like wifi I still choose to wait for G-liner buses. Why? For one, I grew up seeing them and to be honest some of the drivers and conductors that I met in passing while in college some decade ago ( I know, i know I am old haha, guilty much di ba?) still works for the company. The benefits must be good for them to stay that long. Why am I writing about this? I am happy with the service over the years, FYI I never got a free ride in all of those years. The fact that a lot of people were able to reached home safely in all those years says something about their company.

When life gets too busy and crazy...

Hi everyone!

Good morning!

Been awhile huh? I am sorry, things are pretty crazy around here. I have a lot of things on my plate lately. Naku, sobrang daming pinagkakaabalahan talaga!

We are starting to move our things back to Nanay's place since husband will be leaving soon to work abroad and ang hirap kumuha ng kasama sa bahay sa panahon ngayon. Mahirap maglipat ng gamit buti na lang at hindi naman ganun kadami ang ililipat but still matrabaho pa din maglipat.

With work, andaming updates na kailangan i-absorb. Hindi pa naman ako sponge. (that was a joke, ako lang ata ang tumawa lols!)

Life is a series of never-ending changes.

 

Got this from Google.

And as for me, life is hard, so we should be tougher.

Have a great weekend!

Tyhpoon Mario

Hi everyone!


Good morning!


Where were you when typhoon Mario is in full swing?

I was stucked in the office for 33 hours while being worried for my family's safety at home.Good thing that we still have Wifi at home and despite my being at the office, I'm updated with the happenings. One week after that day, also involves a lot of cleaning too, I was able to post the damage of typhoon Mario. The photos will speak for me...

Whew!

Thanks Dad for the photos!

Virtual Bottle Fun with Coca-Cola

Hi everyone!


Good morning!

It's everywhere....in sari-sari stores, hypermarket, grocery. It's there!

What am I referring to? It's  the Coca-Cola find your name in the bottle mania!

I've seen one with my name, but there is a letter missing and so I did not had a picture with it. But I find it fun to see my name and it prompted me to search on how to do it. See the link below to try your name:

Of course, I was able to find my name and Alvin on the list, as for Ashaya her name is not in there as it is unique great thing that Hannah is available. It was fun, try it now!


Share a coke with us!

Have a great weekend guys!

Share a Coca-Cola with someone you love and spread happiness!

A year older...

Hi everyone!


Good morning!


It's July now, you know what that means?

I'm a year older, yay! Haha.. I never had issues with my age, contrary to some people I know who would deny their real age. To be honest, hindi ko maintindahan yung ganun but then again gusto nila so be it, kumbaga walang basagan ng trip.

I'm turning 35, how cool is that?

A year older, am I wiser? I hope so, been through hell and back.

No special plans on that day, in fact, I will still report for work and do my job (as usual). I have checked my leave credits and I can go on a vacation leave but I choose to reserve it for other occasion, like our anniversary?

Today, I am...

Thankful for my family -- immediate and extended.
Thankful that I have Dad and Hannah Ashaya.
Thankful to all my friends.
Thankful for the simple life that we have.
For the air that I breathe.
For the heartaches that made me a better person.
For the laughter and the tears.
For the unconditional love.
Looking forward to many more fruitful years.

Kuya and Ate's 14th anniversary treat at Conti's Bakeshop & Restaurant Serendra

Hi there!


Good morning!

On June 10 marks the 14th anniversary of my Ate and Kuya. Biro mo yun, 14 years na pala ang nagdaan?! It's one event in our family that we always look forward kasi for sure na madami food plus anniversary is one celebration that we really observe aside from Ashaya's milestones.

Anyway, the dinner was set at 5:30pm but since we will meet Nanay in Robinson's Galleria, we had to leave earlier than the normal kaya as early as 1:30pm andun na kami. Excited much di ba? We were supposed to go to Serendra Strip by cab, but Kuya and Ate pick us up so that we can go there together thankful ako since wala ako idea how to get there ng commute lalo na kasama
si Ashaya.

We were an hour early kaya may side trip pa kami and had the chance to walk inside Market! Market!(pagutom, kumbaga!). I think this is just my 2nd time to visit the place, first was around 2010? Out of the way naman kasi effort talaga kung wala ka naman car di ba?

Here's what we had that day:

Calamari with Sour cream

Buffalo Wings

Rellenong Bangus

A short kwento with the Relyenong Bangus, it was on our table for like 15 minutes na, noone is touching it thinking na baka matinik but once Harold tried and reported na walang tinik parang nawala bigla yung bangus sa plate haha..

Kare-Kare with spicy bagoong

The kare-kare was a blockbuster, masarap talaga sya to the point na talong lang ang natikman ko haha!

Leche flan (sana lang maganda ang plating!)

Enjoying the dessert
