Aba!

Aba! Nagka-camera lang, feeling pro na! Hehehe :)



Just me and my beau trying to bring out our artistic sides (kung meron man)...


My first masterpiece. Kanin yan. :)


While lunching with Alvin, I took this one. He likes it. But his opinion doesn't count. Mahal niya ako eh. :)


Minsan walang magawa ang daddy ko sa pera niya so he buys weird looking furnitures and stuff for the house. Eto he bought for the sala.


Syempre mas artistic si Alvin. Mas mukhang "pro" ang pictures niya. :) This one he took while we were chillin' at Starbucks Libis.


At mas matiyaga siya mag kalikot ng features. So he was able to take a pic like this.


This one he took sa Starbucks Eastwood. Syempre ako lang dapat ang model niya. Ang galing mo honey! Yey!


Galing galing ng honey ko mag picture! :)


Eto nagandahan lang ako sa bahay namin. :)


Eto nagandahan si Alvin sa room namin sa Astoria Plaza.


Eto nagandahan siya sa akin. :)

Saya pala ng may camera! :)

Kwentuhan tayo...

Okay...updates.

We had the annual Radio Partners Xmas party, and the usual presentation per station. Wave was the Host Station this year, and the theme was Radio Music Awards. We did Motown, so here we are in our costumes. I was Diana Ross, and the Supremes were Jada and Pam. Rye and the other guys were the Temptations. Garry and the other guys (ulit) were the Jackson 5. Marv was Marvin Gaye, Tyrone was Rick James, Monique (of Dynamedia) was Mary Wells and Don was Stevie Wonder.




And WE WON! Champion kami! Yahoo! We bagged 35K!



So nag-celebrate kami...



...and celebrated some more!


Inuman at Tyrone's condo in Eastwood. Happy happy! And bonded by friendship!

More kwento, more pictures!

Nung birthday ni Dad, nag shopping kami. Picture picture ulit...




Habang si Dad busy sa paghanap ng furnitures...



Nung napagod, nag-merienda. Picture picture pa rin! :)


Ang saya talaga kapag masaya ang pamilya! :) Thank you Lord!

Merry Christmas!

Thank you Lord for a HAPPY CHRITMAS this year!

A tree filled with gifts!

A table overflowing with food!

And a home full of love!

MERRY MERRY! :)

Promoted!

I got promoted! :)

Rising ranks to a new title - Creative Director. Together with the Programming Director and the Sales Director, we now stand as Wave 89.1's Station Manager. The three of us will be reporting directly to our General Manager, Joe D'Mango. It's a big leap for me, and a huge responsibility as well. I have so many plans in mind already, and I never really thought I'd find it thrilling. Well, it is. And the salary jump is exciting too. :) I just hope I won't disappoint.

Say cheese!

Look what my beau got for me!

A brand new Canon Ixus digicam. Yey! :) I've always wanted to buy a cam, so I could easily take pictures anytime, anywhere for my blog. And my honey made my wish come true!

Thanks baby! Now I'm ready to snap and click away! Yey! I've actually taken a couple of pictures already but I haven't had the time to transfer them to my PC. So I'll feature them next time. :)

I believe in love...

It surprises me why people who married on the rebound, and after a couple of years end up fighting and wanting out, try to put the blame on something else. It's the husband's fault, the wife's, the kids...

Why'd you get married in the first place? Because you were broken hearted and you said "yes" to this "convenient" guy without thinking twice...without thinking at all.

I believe that if you marry for the wrong reasons, you'll end up making the annulment lawyers richer. Either that, or you'll be stuck in a bottomless pit feeling so very unhappy.

I want to believe that love is real, that happy-ever-after tales do happen. If only everyone would listen to Diana Ross - you can't hurry love, you just have to wait. Why tie the knot in a rush when you'd want to be untied afterwards? Why not wait and be really, really sure before jumping in? Better safe than sorry.

I have a friend in talks with an annulment lawyer. After 18 years, she wants out. Married for the wrong reasons. She believes in love, too. And I know it's not too late for her. Or anyone for that matter. She's bound to find Mr. Right (the right Mr. Right this time), fall head-over-heels in love, walk down the aisle a blushing, happy bride, and after many many years hold hands with the same Mr. Right, toothless and wrinkled but still in-love.

It can happen. It HAS happened to some. The first step: MARRY FOR LOVE, NOT FOR ANYTHING ELSE. That's non-negotiable.

Sigh...

Been so busy the past few weeks. My dubbing projects have all started. Two at Roadrunner and two more at Twenty Plus. It's a blessing, and one should never complain. But I must admit that it can get exhausting. Driving to and from Makati almost everyday...what a feat.

But I love my job. I don't consider it a sideline anymore. It's my work. It's my career. I enjoy the acting, the drama. I enjoy being the star, the bida, even if it's just my voice they're hearing.

I've been thinking of resigning from radio and concentrating hundred percent on dubbing. It's going to be a big jump, a great risk. I also love radio. But I find more fulfillment in being a voice talent, a dubber. Maybe because in dubbing, I feel important. I play a big role. I'm needed.

I don't know...

So I just sigh...and let things be for a while.

----------

I miss a lot of things lately...

Free time.
Nights-out with Pam.
Hours of talk and good food with my besty.
Holding hands with my man.

To compensate...

I shop!

Thanks Bets! :)

Look what my sister Adie's friend BETTY made for the D&G!



Rye and I LOVE it! Thanks Betty! Kudos to you Angelina Betty Jolie! hehehe :)

Top 5 Reads!

One of the resolutions I've so diligently kept this year is to read more books. My fave shop: A Different Bookstore. Powerbooks is OK, but if you really want to trim down the shelves to the really good titles, A Different Bookstore is the perfect place to go.

Five wonderful reads you might want to check out...


THE SHIP OF BRIDES, Jojo Moyes
A glimpse at the lives, adventures and the drama of WWII war brides, shipped from Australia to England. Beautifully written. Each varying emotion captured without being oversentimental. Love this one!


CAUSE CELEB, Helen Fielding
From the writer of Bridget Jones' Diary. You might find the first couple of chapters uneventful. But the plot elevates towards the end, and you'll find yourself teary-eyed, or maybe overwhelmed with emotion if you're a softie. Starvation and death in Africa is the main setting, and you'll be amazed at how fame and celebrities can actually save the day.


ANGRY HOUSEWIVES EATING BON BONS, Lorna Landvik
I love this book! The story is so REAL. The title states the plot quite clearly. Angry housewives. Different lives, different domestic dilemmas, bound together by their incredible friendship and their book club. Light without being too chick.


SNOW FLOWER AND THE SECRET FAN, Lisa See
The extraordinary friendship of two laotongs, their adventures as they grow up and the lessons they learn along the way, is what this novel is all about. Very beautifully written. Like me, you might find the story incredibly sad. But the plot is magnificent. Don't be deceived by the seriousness of the cover. You'll have a hard time putting this down.


THE MAKEUP GIRL, Andrea Semple
If chick lit is your thing, then this book is a must-grab. Light, funny, exciting and fun! You'll love the Makeup Girl and her everyday adventures in the city she lives in and the world she has spun for her mother's good graces. Nakakakilig! You'll love the ending. It's definitely feel-good.

D&G Rules! Hurrah!

Hear ye, hear ye!

The AC Nielsen 2nd Quarter 2006 Car Survey says...

D&G Rules!


The Drive & Grind with Anne & Rye is the highest-rating show over Wave 89.1

In behalf of my partner (and Simon, hehehe) THANK YOU, dear listeners, for making the D&G your favorite afternoon staple.
