lisa, never knew may mga nadedeny na pala sa canadian visa? ang bilis lang kumuha supposedly nyan specially if may US visa ka and/or well travelled ka naman. ganun na pala kahirap kumuha ng visa dyan satin i guess :(

mama luz, kami din ni hubby magaapply ng US visa from here kasi mas madali, mageexpire na kasi US visa ni hubby this year kung d ako nagkakamali, mga september ata. re: diving, tatawid pa ng malaysia para makadive, before ako napreggers dapat punta kami sipadan to dive. funny thing is walang diving sa bansa na to pero dito ang venue ng annual asia dive expo :P

dive ka na rin! 700 calories/hr :D effortless ni pawis wala pa, makakagala pa kung saan hehe! when i started diving kung saan saan ako bigla bigla napapadpad, from anilao biglang coron every year then malapascua in cebu pa. after mg 1 yr old ni J, project tubbataha reef na kami ni hubby.

marose, ayyy i remember that! naguwi ako sa mom ko before as pasalubong nung honey spread. and yes wala sa manila yung mga benta ng bohol bee farm. sa baclayon church yung wedding ng friend mo? parang ako yan dati a bitter maging single singlelan forever :P

grabe namiss ko tuloy bohol, it's been a while since the last time i went there. suki kasi ako ng cebu before pero i'm not really that amazed with cebu itself. bad memories. LOL. bitter itey haha pero love ko outskirts ng cebu, yoko lang sa city. and madalas ako tumaba pag nasa cebu ako, susme puros karne ba naman ang pagkain from abuhan's sizzling pochero to casa verde's infamous ribs. waaah usapang pagkain na naman!

tin, bicolana ka? dad side ko from bicol. sa legazpi ata sila.

sam, hello... ;D

rata, grabe naman yang mga helpers nyo, garapal magnakaw ::) isa pa yan na malapit ko na rin problemahin, ang yayabels :-[

speaking of yaya, since uwi kami ni J and baka magtagal ako ng 1-2mos planning to get a temp yaya sana para d ko mahassle parents ko with J and i don't trust my dad when it comes to hiring helpers kasi inuuna nya madalas ang awa. possible kaya makahanap ng yaya na short time lang? and how much ang salary range ng yaya nowadays?

Rata, I see. I'm from BF Homes naman. (well, at least for now. hehe) when ba pwede magstart magschool bus ang kids?

Sam, welcome!

Maui, is costa brava the one in polaris? how much ang smallest caramel cake? might consider din aside from sweet life by angge.

lisa, that's okay. i kinda figured that out. will just go to san lo or polaris na lang.

usapang yaya, kinukwento ko nga din sa officemate ko kanina. sa awa ng diyos, mukhang okay yung yaya ni K. wala pa kong problema sa kanya so far. mukhang love na love niya din si K kahit na single pa siya and walang anak. she's 23 y.o., wag lang sana mag-asawa pa para hindi ma-divert ang attention. hehe nung sunday night nga, she was insisting that i eat dinner eh sabi ko busog naman ako. tapos sabay sabi, "sige na mam, kain muna kayo. hiramin ko muna si baby." ayun, namiss pala ang alaga niya. hehe pag weekend kasi hindi niya halos mahawakan si K eh. tagahugas lang siya ng mga bottles. then pag morning while i'm taking a bath, naooverhear ko siya lagi talking to and playing with K. then the other day, i saw her stuff na naiwan niya sa kwarto, i checked them out and I saw a Bible and a few sheets of paper and a pen. so, yun pala pinagkakaabalahan niya pag wala ako. in fairness! di din mahirap bigyan ng instructions masyado kasi nga marunong naman magbasa and magsulat. pag yumaman ako, pag-aaralin ko 'to. hindi din siya halos nagdday-off. for the past 2 months, once pa lang. and well, every sunday pag nagsisimba lang siya. yun lang ang alis niya. she's honest din. nung one time na we thought dapat na siya swelduhan ulit, siya pa nagremind na yung last namin na binigay sa kanya was good for one month so di pa namin siya dapat bigyan nung kinsenas na yun. :)

Kim - yes, the one in Bel-air (lagi ako bulol dito, baligtad ko nasasabi, air-bel! kaloka! lols!). 700+ for an 8x12 square caramel cake nila sis. I'm not familiar with the round cake by the way. Di ko pa natikman yung mocha something cake ni Judah Liu, but my boss says that it is mas masarap daw than the caramel cake. but I super love yung caramel cake nya!

Maui - (tokayo..tama ba yung term??) gutom na nga din ako...si Tin kasi puro cake ang pinag-uusapan namin...haha! joke lang Tin girl! :)

Tin- lika na sa Katipunan at Makati! haha :)

Tin, bicolana ka pala. My mom's bicolana too pero sa malayong province ng Catanduanes sila. At take note, hinde lang basta sa Catanduanes but sa 2nd to the last barrio in Catanduanes hehe. We used to go on vacations there every Holy Week but nung namatay grandparents ko, bihira na lang.

Regarding US Visa, si hubby since hinde ko pa nape-petition, we were thinking kung kumuha muna sya ng tourist visa. Hinde kaya makasama yon tapos pag andon na kame saka ko ayusin petition nya? Umaandar na naman kase yung ayoko na magkahiwalay kame (ang clingy ko kase talaga).

Van, yes sis. Bicolana. Talaga? Malayo nga pero Bicol pa rin. So may dugong bicol ka pa pala. Mom ko naman taga Naga. Masaya mag holy week sa province noh? Mas feel ko, imho lang.

Van, clingy talaga! :) ako din, pero no choice.

Kim, swerte mo sa yaya mo. Where did you find her? B's yaya na dati kong all-around has been with me for 4 years yata. Before that she was one of the maids at my parents' house in qc. 2-3 years yata siya don.  Bast we got her straight out of high school. Pinagaral ko yan sa immaculate, walking distance from our house. Umabot ng 2nd year college, bs education, kaso nagboyfriend so sabi ko if she's not serious, stop mag-aral and prove herself to me ulit. This was january last year. We were supposed to send her back to school ng june but i got pregnant. She left last october kasi gusto magenrol ng 2nd sem as working student pero di kinaya so we got her back last january. While it's good na they want to finish school for a brighter future, we cant help but think sometimes na if we continue to send her to school, inevitable na iiwanan niya kami after a few years. Eh kung trusted mo at lahat kabisado na, ang hirap to think na sana makahanap ulit ng ganon. Diba? So ang hirap tuloy.

Yung isang dati kong maid, maid ko nung bagong kasal, super ok din. Pamangkin siya ng isang dati naming maid din. Gusto din magaral kaso at the time, bagong kasal kami and saving up for a house so sabi ko wag muna. After a few months, nagrebelde. Nag-drugs and all so i sent her home. Nakiusap ang tatay sakin na wag ko pauwiin. Eh nagd-drugs eh anong gagawin ko. She would leave the house middle of the night. Nalaman lang namin kasi minsan i went down to the kitchen for a midnight snack. The front door was wide open! And she was nowhere to be found. Yon pala nasa drug den niya, which we found out was a few houses away from the apartment we were renting in multinational village. Jusme! Na-raid yon a few weeks later. Tapos she said kaya daw siya nag drugs kasi i didnt make good my promise to send her to school. :( hay. Sayang siya. Now she's married and has a toddler.

Ma-try nga din yang costa brava na yan minsan.

Isa pang dinadayo since wala na dito sa may south is yung homemade carrot cake. Ang sarap ng brazo de mercedes nila!!!

Kim you're very lucky with your yaya. Parehas tayo kase si Mai Mai din sobrang baet and maalaga. Minsan I feel guilty na halos hinde na sya makapagpahinga pero pag pinagpapahinga ko yan, magssmile lang and sasabihin na ok naman sya.

Weng, bicolana ka? Naku, malapit lang kame sa guinobatan. Ligao kame, next na ang guinobatan. May friend ako family business nila ang pili. Yummy talaga! Never ko pa natry ang PNR papuntang bicol. Once palang ako sumakay dun, papuntang divisoria. Trip lang! :)

Tin - bicutan din ako, malapit ako kay Lisa.  Regarding Ms. Polly's, you can call Quick Delivery if ongoing pa promo nila na no delivery charge if delivered between 2-5 pm.  Yung iba ibang cakes naman, merong list sa FB page ng Ms. Pollys.  Madami sila, masarap rin ang brown derby and NY cheesecake nila, tapos yung chocolate cake, puede rin caramel palagay mo sa gitna. sa shell, yung plain chocolate cake lang nila which is also good (chocolate lang din yung sa gitna). Pansin ko with their choco cake, mas masarap as it ages.

Van - US citizen ka? No harm siguro if your husband applies for a US B1/B2, just be honest na pepetition mo sya when you get there.  mabilis lang pag spouse kaya. Basta immediate family, mabilis lang ang petition.

Luz - sa Don Bosco Village, inside Better. Better to buy a lot and then have a house built. Grabe daw kasi pumatong yung mga buy and sell sabi ng architect/contractor namin na madaming projects in the village (BLS and DBV).  Kasi daming town houses doon na gawa nya and I was asking how much para sabihin ko sa friend ko na naghahanap, sabi nya, buy a lot and build your own na lang.  Lot price is between 6,500-8,000 psqm. Gusto mo din tanong ako for you?

Kim - balak ko mga at least Grade 1 bago payagan namin mag school bus ang kids. Malayo layo pa yun kasi daughter ko incoming K2 pa lang.  Son ko, mag start pa lang sya ng toddler school. kaya tyatyagain pa ang hatid and sundo ng yaya and driver.  At, swerte ka sa yaya mo! Truly!

Grayce - naku, tama yan, mas ok daw mag apply ng US visa sa ibang bansa. DAW. Yaya salaray ranges from 3,500-8,000 depending on degree (midwife/caregiver), training and experience.  But I know of some who give lower than 3K. And yung mga yaya na magnanakaw, lagi namin sinasabi, mas grabe ang balik sa kanila nyan diba? Karma is a b***h kaya pinagpapasa Diyos na lang namin.

Rata, other side of Bicutan ako. Hehe. Malapit sa dost and pup :)

Wait, san sis yung Quick Delivery? May number ka po ba? Hmm, cakes from Ms. Polly's pwede ipadeliver, ganun po ba? Parang mas type ko nga ang caramel sa gitna ah. Naku, natatakam na talaga ako!

Kim, ang swerte mo sa yaya. 

Actually, okay naman si yaya who has not returned eh.  Vocational school grad (dressmaking ang course niya), marunong din sa chores at matiyaga talaga siya sa kids ko.  May boyfriend yata according to the helper kaya nagloloko.

Maui, sa Costa Brava usually nag-o-order ng birthday cakes (may cake care of the office kapag may birthday dito) dito.  Natikman ko na ang caramel cake (masarap but mas gusto ko ang Estrel's), choco chiffon cake (gusto ko ang icing pero hindi ko kasi gusto ang chiffon cake kapag chocolate ang flavor, dapat pound cake), pandan cake and sponge cake with marshmallow icing and sprinkles - the one I like the most. :)

Grayce, sa Dauis church ginanap ang wedding.  Mauubos na ang last jar of honey spread sa bahay.   :(  Masarap din ang muffins ng Bee Farm. ;)

Akala ko din when I hit 30 and had no boyfriend, magiging single forever ako.  Pero buti na lang kasi gusto ko talaga magka-baby.  May friend ako, one of my BFFs from high school (iba doon sa dapat kasama ko sa Spain next year sana or sa Brazil in 2014), she is a doctor at sinasabi niya before na kung wala pa siyang asawa before she turns 40, she will have a baby, by hook or by crook.  Last year, when we turned 38, she gave birth to a baby girl.  She announced to us that she was pregnant during our annual Christmas dinner noong 2009.  Nakakawindang!  Hanggang ngayon, hindi ko alam kung sino ang father ng baby.  Ang sabi lang sa akin ni BFF, "it's a mutual arrangement."  Hindi siya nag-IVF or  ano ha.  The baby was conceived the old-fashioned way.
