::Artrageously Unique & Exotic ::

I bid thee farewell 2009, with open arms, for the many things you have bestowed upon me. The obstacles we humans had to faced in our daily lives. The hardships we had make us learn something important each day. Beautiful people around me, the strangers I met online and offline, family and friends, thank you for painting my life with fill colours. The past and present I cherished. I feel blessed for I am still alive with good health. I am still looking forward for the magical things that are yet to come true. Hope you were the one who puts the magic happens. Whatever it is, I shall Thank you thee. Let's just moved on. 2010, I welcome thee with wide hearts.

Our belated Christmas open house started at noon with a luncheon party for friends at my family's residence. We invited only few friends and it was not a big crowd as we wanted to mingle with everyone while we prepare lunch. At the evening, we had noche buena with the rest of my dad's side of family. We're missing cousins and my uncle who was unable to make it for the party this time around. Wished everyone were here to make it as a complete family reunion. And underneath the Christmas tree, there were presents, lots and lots of it, for the exchanging gifts. I was impatient. Waiting for the gifts. Even far more excited than the little kids. Once or twice each year, we try our best to gather everyone as a family. As we grew, far or near, we tend to get busy with our own life. And more or often, we don't get to see much of each other anymore. Is not that we don't love, we do. But in our hearts we are one, for there is something about the saying, that blood is definit...

If it wasn't for the tight budget I'm having, I would be a constant traveler today. I would travel across the globe where there is no mountain ain't high enough to conquer and no sea waves could dampen my spirit to see what it has to offer. I love travelling, I want to be around places of the world and experience the beauty of it, surely I can't deny it. I'm sure everyone too. Well who doesn't right? Dear avid Malaysian travelers.... Are you planning for a getaway and want your travel plans to go on smoothly? For me it has always been a hassle to go to the travel agents to book your flights and pick up your tickets there. Not to mention, traffic jams has always been that crazy during office hours. And just thinking makes me a little lazy to book my flights. I know there is always internet connection on you can do it either from your laptop or desktop. But what if you don't have any? Fret not, cause did you guys know that Malaysia Airlines is making Malaysi...

3.33 am now, so sleepy and knackered. Could not hold my eyes any longer. Just finished a one day belated Christmas party at my family residence. Honestly I haven't stay awake at this hour for such a long time since it happened. I'm used to it before. But that truly changed. Okay why didn't I tweet about this instead? Since it's short and sweet? Hmmm....

Boxing day at work surprised me with a little something. For the wait has finally ended after few weeks. I found this on my table...The parcel has arrived today! I got a small box of free Nike(Red) shoe laces. In support of the World AIDS Day, I tweeted this on the 1st of December 2009 : Spread the love #laceupsavelives and support the World Aids Day with Nike and @femmething and Femmething.com gave this to me for free! Whee I heart freebies! :) Gorgeous red in colour that I love! P/s : Gonna call it a night for a big day coming up tomorrow. It's going to be another loOong day. Later peeps! ;)

Been singing to the tunes of Sa Araw Ng Pasko by All Star Cast and other favourite Christmas songs these past few days. Since I'm working on Christmas Eve, last minute gifts wrapping & buying, and I'm working Boxing Day as well, listening and singing actually helped me a lot in the spirit of Christmas and get the mood going. It's a bit frustrating when you have lots to do and working on Christmas Eve. I survived. So my Christmas wishes from friends & family starts as early 12+ a.m. Guess who's the 1st one to wish? Slept at about 2 a.m but I had to woke up early for morning mass at church. After church around noon, with tons of gifts for the mum's side of family and head back to her hometown. This year, part of the family members werent around. But it was still fun none the less. Children enjoying the games prepared for them and I just had to share that I have a new born 5 day old baby boy cousin. He's so ang cute cute talaga ey! :) There was simply too ...

It's 1.21 a.m. I'm wide awake but yet so sleepy. This happens when you actually had too much food on a late midnight supper. Screwed my sleeping time, but for a good reason. Plus, I'm working later which is work starts in a few hours time. Uhhh...oh. Can't complain much though. I'll be on leave next week till next year! *skips with joy* ;) Nevertheless, I am happy! Because you know why? Just came from the airport hours ago and my daddy's home! That's something I'm looking forward to. :) And oh, I can't believe it Christmas Eve already! I'll better get to bed now. xoxo

What's the buzz about it? Do read on... This will actually be the First Bang which is "The Wishlist". So the first contest, Truth to be told, I had a difficult time choosing the 3 items available in How2Shop. Reason was, there had like tonnes of stuffs that I bet you guys will go jaw dropping! Heehe.

Heehe :D This maybe my Christmas Wishlist. If I had the chance to choose and own those items, it will be : 1) Victoria's Secret Ultimate Make-Up Kit If you ask me why? It's part of a ladies essential tool and kit in beauty. Every girl should agree what I'm saying here, right? It...

As we light up the last of four Advent candles, we realize that the birth of Christ or Christmas is coming very, very soon. Malapit na . :) Christmas came slow for me this year. Didn't do much of shopping. Still thinking of something if I can get a last minute gift for everyone. I'm working on an simple artwork especially for Christmas which I hope I can publish on this blog on time. And I didn't even have time to send Christmas cards, like again. Aahh..speaking of it, I am feeling kind of sad cause this year, there's no real, not even one Christmas card came in my postbox. Modern technology is too much for me sometimes, I missed the old tradition, handmade or hand-written cards I used to received each year. *sigh* But whatever it is, Christmas doesn't mean anything without prayers and to be prepared spiritually. It's not all about the presents you get. It's the heart that matters. Always remember that He is the reason for the season. *******************...

Yay, my parcel has arrived! Another one from Channel V Hong Kong. Three cds in a year and few other merchandise from Channel V! How amazing is that ? Makes me love them more! *hearts* My Madonna Celebration cd came with a poster inside. The envelope were crumpled and makes the poster as well but the thankfully the cd were in good condition. Although the poster weren't personally autographed by the singer herself or anything but I was happy enough for the free limited edition goodies. :) I remember growing up listening to songs like Material Girl, Like A Virgin and La Isla Bonita when I was a teeny-weeny kid. Dancing up and down while singing using the microphone trying to imitate Madonna. She has this blonde hair and red lipstick and has a style of her own. A talented singer & dancing queen, famous super-duper glamorous star I think every girl dreamt to be just like her. She's such a fashion icon too. So knowing her music for such a long time, till it got me reminisce my pa...

It's been 2 days of half-day without electricity at work. Just when I thought I could rush some of the piles of printing wanted to be done this week, it goes ka-poof ! And it doesn't help much with a wet, wet Tuesday weather as well. Ahhhh....reasons for the lazy bone! Well, I have a reason. I have a good one....I can blame it on the Christmas mood, no? Whatever ;) Lunch hour was on Twitter got me a bit worried about my friends at the other country. Praise the Lord for the ' galing superstar' updates! Let's see if I could get an exclusive autograph. Gimme, gimme. Haha ;p And when the dark sky came..... Just had a bunch of carolers here at my place hours ago. Joining in the singing while the carolers sang and strums their guitars. Haven't had this in a long time. Missed it for sure. Red and white, lighting candles with stars are brightly shining throughout the entire night. Chilly but no rain. God gave us a perfect weather after the thunderstorm. What a beautifu...

The whole body of mine was shivering while trying to finish my chicken balls inside the cup. Dressed with a cardigan and legging was not that enough for me. Reddish blood came splashing all over suddenly like fountains. I can almost feel it. As if it tasted like the chili sauce that I was enjoying. Doesn't feel that tempting though. Not anymore. The blood I meant. Call me a retired vampire if you want. I'm into something more now. My eyes got stucked. I was so engrossed to the big screen at the cinema, I didn't even touched half of this, the sweetness of a box of caramel popcorn just the way I like it! Why? I amazed myself sometimes. What happened? That particular night I slept with Rain. It was dark and cold for sure, but it was not raining though. Twas an affair in my dream. I have to say this though, Ninja Assassin was bloodily f*ckin' awesome ! :)

Dinner last Friday was at Frenz Cafe in Lintas again. Starving and not wanting to taste yet another same meal on the menu, I had this on my mind. So I ordered Beef Hungarian Goulash With Rice. It tasted rather ordinary to me but I'd like to say how juicy & tender the meat was. And it maybe took a long time for them to cook it. I'm not complaining though. And since we didn't get to catch the Carol's Candlelight on time in Marina, Sutera Harbour yesterday, we managed to grabbed some pies and sandwich to finished our coupons though. Best friend was there as well. Was happy to see him. :)

Stumbled upon this, an old picture of my 2 lil cousins, Ayra & Isaac at my picture folder and I decided to upload it. Just saw them at my uncle's place just now. Having fun & playing in bubble bath...How cute! :) They were growing up too fast and it had made me realize how time flies. Little innocent kids can make my day! Part of life that matters. And wishing someone's birthday from across the sea. My ever so talented guitarist rockstar friend. It matters too.

Image credit : Hangad Online Today I'm going to share my journey towards advent season. While browsing and blog-hopping, I found this song by Pasko Naming Hangad through their official website Hangad Online. Where You Are - Various Artists I'm not sure if they update this site anymore, but looking at the old albums and cds makes me so tempted to purchase one.If only they can do shipping from the Philippines to Malaysia. Heehe ;p "When I find myself lost deep in the night, all I'd do is look up into the desert sky, and a star so bright will be my guide to where You are. The only place I want to be is where You are." Ahh ....I'm loving this song so much! :) Happy Advent from me to you!
