Our Mother's Day Celebration 2010

It was a tiring day. Because the day before that was a longer and much tiring day. Still, I did not give the Mother's Day gifts on Sunday, May 9th. I decided to give both my moms (mother and aunt) their Mother's Day gifts on Saturday, May 8th, right after the launching of the new company. 

Still, seeing them smile when they got their gifts washed away the fatigue in my mind and body for a while. Although B-bunz was not around with my brothers and I to present the gifts to our "moms", his contribution and help to get the gifts and making this successful are highly appreciated.

I know the gifts might not be as beautiful as others who could afford to give their moms more expensive and prettier gifts but the four of us shared and gave this two gifts with a lot of love and prayers of good health and happiness. We hope that's what's important.

WE LOVE YOU MOMS!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Double Dosage

I was reading a post from a blog I frequent when I realize I also did quite the same thing. When I like an item, shoes especially, I don't mind buying two pairs of the same design in different colors. I don't care if people say I'm crazy. If I like the design, then I'd like to have it. 

Like these flats for instance, B-bunz bought for me one day at The Gardens, MidValley. 

We were out for a hit-and-run actually when I thought I wanted to go check out some flats. But B-bunz kept on nagging about the time, that we're only there for a hit-and-run and about our low-cash situation that it hit a sensitive button in one of brain cells. I was so frustrated because I was only thinking of checking out the flats, not actually buying them so why did my boyfriend have to go nag at me non-stop like this? I wanted to see if the sapphire blue flats with the rose petal on the top that I saw in a magazine is still available and see how much is the retail price. So when B-bunz kept repeating the same thing he had been repeating in the car on the way to the mall, I had a minor outburst. I was wondering why couldn't he just humor me for 10 minutes to go to the damn shoe store (which was only about 15 meters from where I said I want to check out the flats) to just see the price? 

So I went walking ahead and left him behind. I know by doing so it throws him off-balance. But I just couldn't slow down else he saw the tears start forming in my eyes. I know at times I try to portray myself as this strong brave girl but deep down I'm actually a little soft and the just-cuddle-me-and-I'll-be-fine type. B-bunz can easily make me laugh or cry. Honestly, he does have my heart in his grasp plus, he is my pillar after all.

Still, I know he sensed something was wrong. Though he thought the reason I suddenly turned moody was because he wouldn't let me get those flats. I kept telling him that wasn't the reason but I suppose I did act like a spoiled child a few times before and he assumed I was lying through my teeth right then. So, he brought me to TIAMO and told me to choose which flats that I want. I strongly refused but one kiss on my forehead and I melted. It's so easy for him to make me melt, you see. 

Why? WHY?? Sometimes I wonder what spell he puts on me coz it gets to quite an extreme level at times. It's like I can forgive him anything. Still, in that situation, I know I made a mistake. I know we don't speak the same language (him from Mars and I'm from Venus thingy) but sometimes he knows me too well (like what I would do in certain situation, what this facial expression means and what-not) that many times I just forgot that he's not a psychic and he can't really read my thoughts. There were many things I wished I had done differently.

Anyways, I finally chose those two flats and B-bunz paid it for me. And I was SO in love with them. And wherever I go, people look at me, then at my flats and then they compliment me. But every time when that happens, I feel grateful for B-bunz and think that maybe I must've done right somewhere to have him as mine. These flats may protect my sole, but B-bunz is my soul.

Oh God, why am I so mushy right now? Flats making me miss my man. How corny can I be? LOL!

Aren't Flash Mobs Fun?

Yeah, I love watching those videos where they show big group of people dancing like nobody's business in the middle of the road or something. I mean, how do they do that? Have any of you watch the T-Mobile commercial where the flash mob start dancing at the Liverpool Street Station, London? And some puzzled onlookers were like, looking and then laughing and they had this "awe-struck" face. I mean seriously, if I were there, my face will be gobsmacked with awe too. 

How do they do that? A bunch of big groups dancing in sync to the music? How much practice do you need to actually do that? I bet the choreographer must have a field day - it would be just like handling a huge classroom of super hyper students to move to the left, move to the right, listen to the beat, follow the music, etc. 

Then today I saw a re-run of Oprah (yes, I watch Oprah!) and they were showing Oprah's Kickoff Party in Chicago where the flash mob danced to Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling". I already think that dancing flash mobs are cool and to see the colorful crowd from a bird's eye view dancing to the music makes me jump out of my skin! I SO want to do that too! LOL..

Still, I wish I could be a part of something like that. I bet it is fun. Tiring, but fun at the same time. I also think, deep down, it makes you feel that connection, not just to the music but with the people dancing in sync around you.

B-bunz honey, come dance with me...
