feeding Kelly’s curiosity

i know this is long overdue, but as they say, better late than never.

here are the guys who make me feel kilig, and who i will most probably date, IF and only IF i weren’t married. (yup, date only - not sleep with... conservative ako! haha!)

1. Patrick Galen Dempsey

you all should know by now how huge my crush is on ‘Grey’s Anatomy’s’ Dr. Derek Shepherd, a.k.a. Mc Dreamy. such a charming face he has…haaaayyy! i love the way he smiles, laughs, cries – i love everything about the guy! i’m still pretty upset that he didn’t win People Magazine’s ‘sexiest man alive’ award. i think he deserves the top spot better than Matt Damon. don’t you agree with me?

2. Justin Timberlake

i’ve had a crush on this guy since N’Sync days. he was cute then, ngayon yummy na…hahaha! if i were to date him, i’d probably ask him to sing and dance for me…in private!

3. Zac Efron

seriously, i don’t care if you call me cradle snatcher. this is my blog so i can write whatever i like. and if i say i am crushing on this 21-year old hunk, you are not to judge me! ;-) i first saw this cute jock in the movie ‘Hairspray’, and then saw him next at Disney’s ‘High School Musicale’. wow, those gorgeous pair of eyes – they’re tantalizing indeed! i’d be happy to be in Vanessa Hudgens’ shoes right this very moment, even for only one day.

4. Brendan Fraser


yah, yah, i know this guy can be such a corn ball, but won’t you admit it that he’s awfully good looking? ‘Mrs. Winterbourne’, ‘With Honors’, and ‘The Mummy’ are his most notable performances for me - notable simply because he looks really gorgeous in all these flicks…tee hee!!

5. Hugh Jackman


do i have to even convince you people why i picked this guy?
back in high school, i used the code name ‘Jean Grey’…and he’s definitely my ‘Wolverine’!

6. Brendan Fehr

the only bad boy among my list. he's the rough-lookin' cutie Michael from ‘Roswell’, and he’s the reason why i never missed an episode of that now-defunct series.

7. Gerard Butler

the ultimate hunk. the uber sexy guy. the man of the hour. need i say more?

8. Marc Nelson

a surfer dude’s look can never go wrong: washboard abs, lean body, a knock out smile...what more can a girl ask for?

ladies, feel free to snag and tell us who you desire (ooh, sounds sleazy!).

kid at heart

that’s how i felt after spending the sundown at Al Qasba yesterday. we spent about a couple of hours just taking snapshots.

at first, i felt bored just sitting in there watching my companions click away.



not until we started watching the Al Qasba Musical Fountain do its magic. here are pictures of me goofing around like little kid:

in fact, the kids began playing in the fountain after i did. husband thinks i’m such a ‘promotor’. well, the fountain is there for the kids to play with, right? in this kind of weather, one of the most fun thing to do is get wet!

here’s more:

let’s not forget the pictures of the dear husband practicing some shots with his brand new 17-85mm lens:

nice pictures, huh? all photos are taken by our friend K. thanks, dude!

describe yourself today

starting my week right with a nice tag from Thea. thank you, my dear! i hope you’re enjoying your day!

rules:
1. list 6 things that describe yourself today.
2. add your blog to the list. feel free to add all your other blogs.
3. tag other online friends you know.

today, this is me:
- a laid back and worry-free soul. i’ve decided not to sweat the small stuff anymore. i refuse to waste my time being sad & miserable over things i have no control of. i’m sure things will fall in the right places at the right time. God has always been good to me & my loved ones, so i trust that He will be there for us whenever we need Him most.
- a grateful wife blessed with the most wonderful husband in the world! being married to Ryan is one of the best things that ever happened to me.
- a fuss-free person who only looks at the brighter side of things. negativity is no longer part of my vocabulary (woo hoo, way to go!!)
- a passionate individual who will never give up on something so easily. determination has led me to great things, and i plan to keep up with such attitude.
- a believer that good things come to those who wait. the saying ‘patience is a virtue’ is one of my recent favorites.
- a more giving person. i am surrounded by generous people, and i’ve realized that generosity, apparently, is contagious.

since it’s Mother’s Day today, i’m tagging the wonderful mommies out there: Abie, Kelly and Roselle.

rice feast

in my week long stay in the States, i never had rice at all. so i’ve started craving for the ultimate Pinoy staple food since i hopped on the plane back to Dubai. would you believe that from Saturday till yesterday, we were at Chowking each morning because of their breakfast meals? of course, having rice for breakfast is the way to start your day! i ordered tapsilog (twice), daingsilog and shanghai lauriat that filled me ever so happily. i took a leave today, which is a relief to the husband who had gotten tired of eating breakfast in the same place 4 days in a row.

to take our palates off the taste of garlic rice, hubby took me to dinner last night at Lemongrass, our new favorite Thai restaurant. we ordered their signature dish, Med Goo plus Talay Pao to go perfectly with Kao Suay, their fragrant Jasmine rice. to describe our meal ‘divine’ would be an understatement!

the husband with our seafood delights

...and this is me daydreaming with my rice

tonight, we will be watching ‘Iron Man’. but before catching the movie, we’ll have to have dinner first. hmmm, i wonder which restaurant we’ll end up eating at. well, i don’t mind which restaurant really, as long as they serve rice. i can start dieting next week.

what kept me busy after 5…

…in San Diego, California was the shopping experience!

these bags contain just a few of my purchases. by the time i took this pix, the rest of the stuff i bought in the last couple of days were already stowed away. i literally racked my brains trying to fit everything in my 2 pieces of luggage!

i had a feeling i’d be able to find this in the States. Horton Plaza’s Louis Vuitton didn’t fail me :)

before i left, my Uncle Regie & Auntie Malou gave me this as a gift:

on top of this, i got a Hollister shirt and top, too. woohoo!!

what’s good about this trip is that it didn’t hurt my credit cards. since my relatives treated me to most of my meals each day, plus my cousins drove for me in town, i saved up from my per diem so i was able to buy (loads of) stuff for me & hubby. ok di ba? ;-)
