updating this is such a pain with to many things going on. But let me leave you with pics from our trip in Disney World Orlando last month. Hopefully, I'll be able to finish my entry re: our trip because I had so much fun and learned few things I wish I knew beforehand that maybe can help anyone planning to visit Florida.

Yes!I am, it's been months,my last post was thanksgiving and after that I'd been swamped and got so lazy to even write any updates. I would check in a couple of times and read my fellow bloggers blogs and thats it.

So, for speedddyyy update here it goes..

*Christmas was spent both with our families,Eve with my side of family and day of with his,we also made rounds with friends to give their gifts(w/c unfortunately wasn't given ahead of time)Re:gifts hhhmm,ofcourse Meeke made me really happy=)he gave the bike rack that I've wanted for sooooo long fully installed in the rdx and also an iphone, gave him on the other hand shirts, portable hard drive and paid full year auto insurance (we're usually 50/50).
I also treated myself last christmas aside from a new "sister" of the flap(I'll take a pic next time)I also got myself a collectors hard cover edition of Twilight Saga. I know I know I was late on this but mind u, I was never this eager to open a box from amazon.

January-
I got accepted at CalState Fullerton for my continued education. Start of class was late January but end up delaying my entrance for fall this year.

February-
Celebrated anniversary with Meeke,we actually didn't do anything big the day of aside from the cupcakes and to-go sushi order. I was sick and Meeke was just recovering from flu so no energy to go out. We're going to celebrate though with trip to Orlando early next month(more on this on my next post).

Vegas getaway with my hospital girl friends. It was nice to relax and unwind with no boys...

I also received a terrible news last week which I'd rather not disclose.I was really disappointed, just thinking about it now makes me cry. But I just have to keep reminding myself that it's just a setback and Lord will help me to get through this. My family and Meeke is been very supportive too.

So, there you go.

A very late post re: our anniversary Vegas trip

We went last Aug 24-26. We left our place late afternoon since we went to church 1st. Travel time was about 5 hours since we had a pitstop at Barstow outlet to grab dinner then headed to Las Vegas.

Check in was a breeze. No waiting but as soon as were done people started arriving. Buti na lang. When we were in our room we rested for a little bit then went down to casino and gambled.We had some drinks too complementary if your gambling butwe didnt stayed that long. We were too tired so called it a night around 11.

The next day we did a lot of walking as in A LOT. We casino hopped and gambled and shopped as well. I prolly went to 4 Louis Vuitton in a span of 3 hours.hehe That's how close the proximity of each store. 1 in Saks 5th, 1 in Fashion Show mall another 1 at Wynn and 1 more in Ceasars Forum. Napapailing na lang si Mike (hehe)according to him "parepareho lang naman daw". I was trying to look for this particular limited ed. LV kasi so I kept asking. The funny thing though was so many people kept asking about my bag(was carrying my Damier neverfull) even the SA. They told me how lucky for me to have 1 since it's not yet available here.

Anyways, after so much walking we decided to rest around 4pm. It was enough time for us to prepare for dinner and the Le REve show later that nite.

*Architectural structure of Ceasar's Palace*

For our 3rd day we decided to relax and lounge for the day. We went for an early swim in the pool then went for our massage appointment at The spa. We had lunch at the Le Village Buffet at Paris hotel which has the best creme brulee PERIOD!! Ofcourse, they have more than creme brulee there mostly pastas and some creamy viands and they're dessert selections are to die for..hehe

After that heavy meal we decided to walk around to offset those calories. We went to the Bellagio's botanical garden and watched its dancing fountain which still gives me chills everytime I watch it galing talaga.

We were gonna go to Madame Tussaud's Wax museum at the Venetian but backed out last minute because Mike was complaining of headache. We just went to our hotel room took tylenol and he rested there for a while. Instead of going out for dinner we just had room service.


For our last day,Wednesday we just sleeped in and woke up 2 hours before checkout. Before we left Vegas though we dropped by Carnival buffet at Rio hotel for lunch. I know buffet na naman but Mike was craving for their pot roast so pinagbigyan ko na. Besides ok naman tlaga yung food as in dami selections sarap pa. Gosh! wala talagang diet diet dito.

ok!so for my loot..next time na, haba na kaya nito.

Mike and I started talking about our plans for our birthdays next month you see our birthdays are just 4 days apart and we usually celebrate it together with our friends and family. But this year were thinking of going on a trip. No specifics yet but most likely in a place where serious swimsuit wearing is needed(ayayay!cringing here,hehe).Hopefully we will be able to finalize everything before the end of the month.

Next week also we're going to our VERY delayed anniversary trip in Vegas. We had to postpone our trip back in February because his parents came here to visit and then our schedules didn't clear up until now. I'm a little hesitant driving there though coz the temperature there is in the 100s but our complimentary room will expire this month so we might as well use it.

So, were going for 3 nights and 4 days. I've already booked tickets for the Le Reve show at Wynn hotel and really looking forward to this show. Aside from that we'll be doing the usual casino and restau hopping, gambling, massages in the spa and lounging in the pool.

[Backtrack 3/18/08]
It was our 1st time to go to Laughlin, Nevada. Everytime we visit that state, Las Vegas is the first thing that comes to our mind. I don't know what to expect except for the Colorado river in the middle of a dessert like place.

We left pretty early and it's a 4-5 hr drive. We stopped by Jollibee first to have breakfast then drove straight.We got there around 13:15 and we're starving but we had to to wait for our room because check in was not till 1500. We end up just waiting for 20 mins then able to check in early with out paying extra.

After we got settled in our rooms. Everyone met up in the buffet restau of Harrahs. The restau was just ok.So, many choices but nothing really spectacular about it.

After, we went straight to the Casino area and started gambling..Wrong move for me because I lose money from the slots(Mike won some though=).After some time I realized that it's not really my day.So, we end up just going to the balcony/pool area of our hotel and took some pics then played in the sand by the Colorado River.Light dinner then casino hop.

Next day was Easter Sunday so all of us attended mass and had champagne brunch after.We planned at first to go swimming and rent out some jet skis but it was gloomy and cold so we just scraped the idea. His parents though and some relatives hopped in the water taxi while some of us gambled again(adik adik talaga=)This time though I won so I got even.

On our way home, Mike asked me if I want to go back there next month.He said we'll enjoy more the water because it's summer. I on the other hand have different plan. I'd rather go back to Vegas knowing fancy shopping places waiting for me.(lol)Conversation ended with him giving me the"LOOK"hehe

Some pics from our very quick San Fran trip. Quick because it was just an overnight. We pretty much saw the places to be seen though. Mike and I been there a couple of times already but it's his parents 1st time. We had brunch at the Chinatown then we headed to Fisherman's wharf.We took the ferry ride which sailed under the Golden Gate Bridge,then around the Angel's Island then Alcatraz. We strolled after and shop some souvenirs we then tried the famous clam chowder of the Wharf and it was really good especially it was really cold that day. After we drove to the Lombard street "the crookedest [most winding] street in world". I couldn't get a decent picture so just go to the link=)

Next stop was the Golden Gate park.Ofcourse pictures galore even the inlaws were giddy to pose for the camera. Next was a quick stop to Palace of Fine arts. After that we were tired so we decided to go back to our hotel and took a quick nap.

We woke up past 6 already so we just went to Max Philippines Restau for dinner then to Twin Peaks.Sadly though I left our cam in the hotel so no pics=(
That was it for the night. We had to rest up early for the next day for the long drive back to SoCal but we stopped by Camarillo for outlet shopping(woohoo!!)then dinner get together at one of his aunt's.

Side note: Outlet Shopping:I ended up getting only 1 blouse from juicy couture.Mike was amazed. He patted my forehead and asked if I was sick and said he's impressed.hehe. Little did he know I'm saving for a big splurge this May.hahahah

I'll just post this one first. Will kwento later. So tired but fun filled day=)

His parents are here. We picked them up last Sun in LAX. Check out was easy not too much waiting. Then we went straight to his uncle's house where some of his family members were waiting. Dinner was prepared and then Chismisan to da max kagad.hehe. One of the things settled are the places to go to for their vacation.So, the next few weeks were going to..

1. San Diego (Sea World)
2. Las Vegas (Laughlin)
3. San Francisco
4. Maybe Las Vegas strip

In betweens are family gatherings and outlet shoppings.. It's going to be a very busy 5 weeks. Hopefully my co-workers will agree to change schedule weekends with me. I have to reschedule also our Anniversary trip for this month.
