I have Sophie Kinsella's early Shopaholic books:  Confessions of A Shopaholic, Shopaholic Takes Manhattan saka yung sa wedding niya. :)

Ever since nagkaanak ako, konti na lang nababasa at natatapos kong books under Fiction & Literature.  Madalas kong nababasa ngayon ay parenting books at children's books.

Jen, simulan mo sa :
The Secret Dreamworld of a Shopaholic also published as Confessions of a Shopaholic tapos Shopaholic Abroad (Shopaholic Takes Manhattan) then Shopaholic Ties The Knot then Shopaholic & Sister then Shopaholic & Baby tapos ang latest is Mini Shopaholic (2010)

Marose, ako naman halo halo ang binabasa ko.. Usually Parenting magazines ang binabasa ko before I go to sleep.. sa train/lunch break/free time ko kahit ano.. mas gusto ko na ang book ay First Person.. may iilan akong binabasa na 2nd person ang pagkaka narrate..

The 1st book I read that inspired me to read was Chicken Soup when i was in High School.. ang mga movies na meron din books naeengganyo ako basahin ang books except Harry Potter series, Chronicles of Narnia and the like.. gusto ko applicable sa buhay ko kahit papano.. :D

Kim, hindi nagsusugat ilong ni K. Hindi din ako gumagamit ng nasal aspirator, I tried a few times pero hindi successful :(

Marose, devilbiss din yung nebulizer namin dito, basta 3k+ sya, hindi lalampas ng 4k. Hindi ko na kasi alam kung nasan yung receipt. Pero alam ko lifetime warranty daw yun.

Pia, yes sis. Tapat nga ng dlsu, sa likod pala ng csb. Hindi naman mahirap nung dun ako nagcollege. And pareho pala tayo, kung girl ang baby ko, literal na pulubi na talaga ako. Mas madaming gamit ang bebe girls na mahirap iresist. Pero parang pag boy, mas mahal daw ang damit?

May copy ako ng shopaholic series. Pero ebook sya. Hehe. Inform nyo lang ako kung gusto nyo ng copy :)

Di ko na explain ang VUL kasi na-explain na. Better returns ito talaga kesa sa TD kaya ito napili namin.

My dad is giving me money, part ng share nya sa sale ng house nila. Common property kasi yon, house ng lola ko dati pero nung namatay siya, kami ang tumira. Invest ko sa mutual funds.

Talked to my sun life agent kanina kasi gusto ko talaga i-go na yung kukunin namin. Pero mali tanda ko. Sa 100k/year for 5 years, 2mil lang pala at age 17. Nog bad pa din. Di pa din ako kikita ng ganon sa TD.

I also agree with what Marose said about insurance. Pag nawala tayo, kawawa ang mga bata kung wala tayong insurance. Puro manulife ang insurance ko pero gusto ko kumuha ng maxi prime sa sun life, gaya ng sa husband ko. And better to get while you'rd young kasi the older you are, the higher the premium.

Pia, i'm still thinking nga kung goid shepherd pa din beneficiary ko. Gusto ko kasi for kids kasi bata pa din si bianca and sana we can do this every year.

But i do have charity involvement because my family has a foundation. We send kids don sa barrio namin sa cagagan to school. We start scholarship sa 1st year high school and pag ok ang grades, we offer college scholarship also. We had our first college graduate last year yata, o this march. Pwede ko din gawing beneficiary yan ng birthdag ni bianca. Isipin ko pa siguro pero medyo set na ako sa good shepherd. Tutal my annual contribution sa foundation is ok na.

Kim, we also used sterimar nung may ubk't sipon si bianca. The pedua said better daw ito than salinase kasi pambata talaga. Then nebulizer helps din nfa. Saline solution lang nilavay namin sa nebulizer.

May kaaway ako! May post ako sa fb. Sinisiraan kasi ako nung isa sa dati kong client. Napaka-plastic nita. At napakagaling mamulitika. Di ko siya kayang sabayan. Masyadong nagpapaka-pilipino. May king crab mentality!

Lisa, relax ka lang.   ;D

Re charity work - I give to UNICEF and WWF.  Pero mas gusto ko sana may involvement ako, deeds not just donation.  Kapag mas maluwag na ang sked ko. 

May dinner kami mamaya ng high school batchmates ko.  Excited ako.

Marose, ayoko kasi ng ganon. Ngayong wala na ako don ganyan siya but when i was there lagi ako kinakausap niyan like we're super close friends. Pero madami na nagwarn sakin na kakaiba siya so i distanced myself from her. Just before i left, dami ko nang naririnig na kung ano anong sinasabi niya. Lagi ko ngang sinasabi sa mga nagsasabi sakin na sabihin sa kanya harapin niya ako, say it to my face. Di ako takot sa kanya. Obviously, siya takot sa akin.

I just really hate back-biters and hypocrites!

Sorry, galit na galit talaga ako eh. Sobrang insulto yung mga sinabi niya.

lisa, allergic rin ako sa ganyan. ang wrinkles 'teh mahalia jones ang magpabotox ;D

kim, get well soon to katie. dito nauuuso rin ang sakin, day 2 na ng summer heat dito kasi and previous days naman maulan kahit na supposedly summer na. medyo late ang summer ngayon dito compared last year na feb palang mainit na.

mother van & tin, sali ako dyan! taas paa at kamay proud katipunera rin ako ;D

sis pia, check mo venus sa ang mo kio baka may tsubaki dun. sayang ang laki ng difference kasi.

nalula ako sa usapang schools at insurance :o yan ang dilemma namin ni hubby now, yung school. same with sis pia ayaw rin namin matuto ng broken english a.k.a. singlish si baby. e kamusta naman ang presyo ng IS dito. mas gusto namin na paaralin nalang sa manila si baby in that case. and kahit na dlsu rin ako before, nananalaytay parin sa akin ang pagiging dugong bughaw LOL frustrated atenean kasi ako :P either sa ateneo or sa MGC new life namin papaaralin si jayden.

speaking of investments, kami ni hubby we started na rin sa mga investments. may balak cya kunin sa sunlife but d ko sure exactly kung alin dun but right now may hinuhulugan kami na condo so far. and same with marose, ayaw rin namin na natutulog lang ang pera sa bangko...

belated happy 11th month kenzo :)

Pia, I love the Shopaholic series pero I havent read the latest book yung Shopaholic and Mini Shopaholic, yun lang ang kulang ko. The series are really funny but at the same time nakakairita kase in denial si Becky and kababawan to the max. Among the Sophie Kinsella books, I love Can You Keep a Secret the most cus it's so darn funny as in!

Kim, I hope Katie gets well na. My sister in law said sa Bambang daw ako bumili ng nebulizer kase mura daw don mga 1.2k-1.5k lang compared pag binili sa Mercury Drug. I'm thinking of getting one para hinde na ko hihiram sa sister in law ko especially since they're moving out of the house soon.

Grayce, yan nga ang drawback sa SG if you have kids kase ako ayoko talaga ng Singlish. When I was working at SIA, yung mga kasama kong Malay and Indians thought that I was too westernized with the way I spoke. I never made an effort to copy their English just so maintindihan nila ko cus I knew na mas tama yung manner of speaking ko. True enough, passengers in the 1st and business class preffered speaking with me kase they can understand me better. Yung mga frequent passengers non, I still get to talk to some of them through FB and friendster (yes, meron pa ko nyan hehe) and they still ask me questions about theur frequent flyer program kahit pa alam nilang wala na ko don hehe

^pag nasa galaan ako i speak my normal english pero pag taxi, palengke, kung d na kaya ng powers ng chinese language ko (iba accent nila dito minsan. my mandarin's not that good, hokkien ko naman ok but the accent ng tao dito d kami magkaintindihan) no choice but to speak in singlish. isa sa mga dream job ko dati yan, ang magwork sa airline. i'm supposed to work for PAL, pumasa na ako ng impact interview but forever pending ang application ko tapos ang tagal pa nila magprocess :-\ pag nagkataon talaga na ma no choice kami ni hubby, mapapaaga ang balik pinas namin pag andito pa kami by the time na magstart na magschool si baby. gusto kasi namin lumipat ng OZ or CA.

nakupo, ang mga sophie kinsella books ko na asa pinas, complete with plastic pa. waaaah, d ko pa pala sila nababasa! dami ko ring books na naka tambak pa rin dito, dinala ko hoping mabasa ko but to no avail specially nowadays. time, where are you? ???

^Yung mga Sophie Kinsella books ko naman jan ko sa SG binili. Diba uso jan yung bookstores na pwede mo ibenta ulit sa kanila within 2 weeks of reading. Sa Pasir Ris mall ko binili pero hinde ko na din binenta ulit sa kanila kase binabasa ko ng paulit-ulit hehe.

Yung sa SIA sobrang naswertehan ko lang yon. Nakita ko yung ad sa newspaper tapos yung Kelly Services sa Tampines, katapat lang ng room na nire-rent namin nung time na yon kaya nag-walk in ako. At first I wasnt hoping naman kase 5' lang height ko chaka we didnt have plans of working sa SG that time. Pero yon, I was one of the lucky few. It was a good experience naman, sana lang mas nagtagal pa ko kung hinde ako nag-drama sa lovelife ko hahaha

I love Sphie Kinsella books din! Nabasa ko lahat pwera yung latest, yung may mini shopaholic na. I think I have an ebook niyan sa laptop ko pero hindi ko mabasa basa. hehe. Super natutuwa ako sa kanya and I love her name, Rebecca Bloomwood. :)

^Correct sis andame na nyang ebooks, madale lang idownload but for some reason I dont like reading e-books kase sumasakit yung mata ko from staring at the PC too much. At the same time, mas gusto k pa din yung old school way of holding the book and kahit anong pwesto pwede heehee

i also have sophie kinsella's books, pati yung hindi shopaholic series like can you keep a secret, remember me, twenties girl. wala pa akong mini shopaholic kasi since i gave birth, di na ako masyadong nakakapagbasa ng chick lit ko at young adult ko.

i got tickets na to verakai! i'm so excited to watch. the best part, sponsored ng tatay ko. yey!

kim, get well soon to katie.

van, kim, gusto ko din bumili ng nebulizer. pag nagpunta naman kayong bambang baka pwede ako sama. or pwede maki pabili. saan ba yung bambang?

hate ko dni ang singlish. i worked in singapore back in 2001 pero 3 weeks lang ako don! di ko kinaya. umuwi ako. pero sa 3 weeks nandon ako, ginaya ko ang accent nila kasi mas nagkakaintindihan kami!
