Laugh your hearts out…a birthday treat

We’ve watched the last live performance of Rock da’ Vote last Saturday night at the Music Museum in Greenhills Theatre Mall. We got up early coz we need to go to Tektite Tower to do an ocular at the penthouse for Luis’s 1st birthday party venue. We we’re at the penthouse around 4pm and we find the façade and the lobby nice (astig ang dating !) however, the venue itself looks so gloomy maybe because of the low ceiling (at ang amoy …maalimoog! Hehe) so we we’re still on the look out for possible venue.

From Tektite Tower, we headed to Greenhills (this is our firs time together) and since we’ve arrived three hours earlier for the show, we went malling just to kill the time. I bought toys from Toy Kingdom for my little rascal a musical turtle and a stack rings best for infants 6 months onwards. We had our dinner at the Promenade in Wonton Resto (as the name suggests it’s a Chinese restaurant no doubt about it =p) I like their Fried spareribs in salt and pepper, spicy shrimps in schezuan sauce (talap talap!) plus
overflowing young chow fried rice that would satisfy your gastronomic appetite

We we’re one of those early birds we wanted to avoid those long lines before we can sit ourselves inside the theatre so we fall in line early and we waited until the
organizers opened the entrance to the guests. The show started 830…and it’s 30 minutes late (haaayyy Filipino time as usual!) but everything was great! The acts were all funny the show lasted for 2 ½ hours but there were never a dull moment.

The actors we’re able to convey their message, which is in time for the coming May elections…. There is a REPEAT performance on May 5, 11 and 12 the last three performances of this year’s Rock da’ Vote.

Trip 2 Pedia

I had to bring my son to his pedia last friday due to cough and colds. Sam and I have decided to skip work that day.
This is our first visit at the New Medical City, looking at the façade of the newly built hospital, I can’t help but ogle this massive structure occupying 1.5 hectare property along Ortigas Avenue in Pasig City. It carries a contemporary architectural design composed of two towers joined by a podium and bridgeways, this 15 storey high rise bldg has hotel-like interiors and specially designed waiting areas for comfort, a big and spacious emergency room, gardens in and around the building complex for a soothing environment and has a homey ambiance. (para kang nasa mall ang saya!)
Other non-medical amenities within the complex are available to all visitors, patients, and staff. They have the ff:
· Chapel
· Pancake House
· Salon/ GYM
· Starbucks
· Banks/ ATMs
· Convenience Store
· Auditorium
· Food Court
Health Insurances satellite offices like Medicard, EA Phils, Fortune et all has a nice and cozy space. There are escalators installed around the premises as an alternative to the traditional staircases and there are 16 elevators in full swing plus dedicated elevators for nursing floors, service elevators, and elevators servicing only from basement parking to ground floor.
Nweis, going back to the original topic, my son weighs less for his age (magaan daw baby ko 7.7 lbs dapat daw at least nasa 8.+++ daw for his age na 7 months) although he seems to be an active baby but he can’t finish an 8 oz milk in one sitting which is the normal intake of a 7 month old. And at his age he should be able to finish half a bowl of solid food eh he can’t even finish a spoonful of cerelac =( haaayyy panu kaya tataba baby ko???

Asap Live presents Rock Da Vote



It’s bigger, better, and, best of all, it’s back. Rock da Vote, the live political comedy theater event that has made hilarious fun out of the insanity of every election year, returns for its newest edition this 2007 with an important new partner: ABS-CBN’s Sunday variety show Asap.

Asap Live will be producing the 2007 edition of Rock da Vote, which will feature top stand-up comedy stars Jon Santos, Candy Pangilinan, Pooh, John Lapus and special guest Chokoleit and Tessie Tomas.

Considering that these are the top tier of today’s comedians expect a lot of impressions and caricature of the names most recently in the headlines. Jon Santos will bring on his unforgettable impressions of Vilma Santos, Korina Sanchez, James Yap’s alleged mistress Hope and Imelda Marcos. Candy Pangilinan will impersonate Gloria Macapagal Arroyo and Miriam Defensor Santiago. John Lapus gets under the skin of such personalities as Madame Auring, Cory Aquino and Kris Aquino. How new standup star Pooh will, of course, get jokes out of Manny Pacquiao’s current political ambitions. Chokoleit gets to show the funny side of Erap Estrada and Bro. Mike Velarde. And Tessie Tomas revisits her legendary “Meldita” character for several sketches, as well as showing Rock da Vote audiences her impression of Mel Tiangco.

Joel Mercado is Rock da Vote’s head writer.

Rock da Vote will run at the Music Museum on two consecutive Fridays and Saturdays. Tessie Tomas will be the special guest in the April 13 and 14 shows, while Chokoleit will be the special guest on April 20 and 21. Tickets are available at all TicketWorld outlets, as well as through the TicketWorld hotline 891-9999.

On its 15th year, with new editions created for every election year, the Philippines’ best-known live comedy show Rock da Vote is showing no signs of growing older because it gets its comedy mojo fresh from the headlines. What with family drama, new Comelec rules, and controversial new figures making their way into the political arena, expect to see cutting-edge political satire yet again from the country’s top standup comedians.

This time, however, it’s set to be even bigger, with ABS-CBN’s trademark polish behind the entire event.

Performance dates: April 13 - 14; April 20 - 21
Venue: Music Museum, Greenhills, San Juan
Tickets are available at all TicketWorld outlets, as well as through the TicketWorld hotline 891-9999.

While you were chatting...

So why am I writing right now? I would like to tell everyone about a story of infidelity…another victim laments as she shares her piece.

The story is about he-who-thinks-he's-d-man and his officemate educated biyach are flirting around. Yes all the gossips and issues about them before were all true. So let me digest how it happened I remember one time he-who-thinks-he's-d-man went home so frustrated co'z he told Furious Cat Owl that there was an issue with him and his new friend which involves Ms.Educated Biyach, a technical writer in an I.T. company who just broke up with her Bf and is from Laguna. And the issue? Educated Biyach is flirting with he-who-thinks-he's-d-man and people from their company are saying "ay ang cheap naman ni Educated Biyach pumapatol sa may asawa."

This flirting issue has been going on since 2006. They met in this I.T. company in Paseo,located at the 39th Floor, became friends turned constant companion (taking their coffee breaks and lunch together) they would patiently wait for each other so they can go to work together every morning and would come home from work together as well. (Fyi,Educated Biyach lives near he-who-thinks-he's-d-man's place just across his Condo in Dela Rosa to be exact) This has transpired for over a year now and he-who-thinks-he's-d-man is very vocal about their friendship.

At home, they would exchange text messages up until night. Educated Biyach would let
he-who-thinks-he's-d-man knows her whereabouts, what she is doing, how she is feeling that day, etc. The Furious Cat Owl find it weird because Educated Biyach is sending text messages of some sort of a wake up text to he-who-thinks-he's-d-man in the morning and a goodnight text at night(let's say he-who-thinks-he's-d-man is her first text and last text of the day... sweet huh?) and this flirting continues until the Furious Cat Owl gave birth. To her surprise he-who-thinks-he's-d-man revealed to Furious Cat Owl that Ms. Educated Biyach opened up about her feelings towards him and that they should stop what they are doing because she's falling for he-who-thinks-he's-d-man. (Are you guys getting a clearer picture of what's happening?)

The Furious Cat Owl had enough. She asked he-who-thinks-he's-d-man to end his nonsense flirting issue because he has a family and that Educated Biyach is in a relationship during that time. And He-who-thinks-he's-d-Man promised to stop. The Furious Cat Owl thought she have made herself clear but she was wrong. Last Easter Sunday, 8th of April the Furious Cat Owl caught them exchanging messages online (through YM) again while she was just at his back working on her laptop.(maybe he-who-thinks-he's-d-man have forgotten that Furious Cat Owl is farsighted =p)

I would like to give an emphasis on this message from He-who-thinks-he's-d-Man and Educated Biyach's conversation:

He-who-thinks-he's-d-Man: “psst nasa likod ko wife ko ha, wholesome muna tayo”
Educated Biyach: “oks”
(So what do they mean about being wholesome "muna"? are they not wholesome when they are together? and why did Educated Biyach answered oks? do they have an understanding that they need to be wholesome so they won't be caught off guard? I'll leave that up to you to think of what they are doing) they have been communicating religiously yet they claim that they are just friends (sounds so showbiz).

I couldn't understand why Educated Biyach would enter in such complicated situation while she knows from the very start that He-who-thinks-he's-d-Man is married with a son. Despite knowing that the Furious Cat Owl is aware of their relationship (and she knows how the Furious Cat Owl hated her for being a home wrecker) she still chose to be in the same old rut she is in since 2006.

End of the story....

My comment:

Why would Educated biyach allow herself to become He-who-thinks-he's-d-Man's other woman? I thought she is educated? ooppss... I forgot she is a biyach herself *evil laughs*

But I don’t think that the Furious Cat Owl will take this sitting down for she have kept silent for quite sometime and now she would like to let everyone knows how Educated Biyach is behaving. The Furious Cat Owl have a family to fight for and she will not allow Educated Biyach to ruin her family. The Furious Cat Owl already have given her an ample time to correct any misbehavior but she did not do anything The Furious Cat Owl have dealt with this issue at home with He-who-thinks-he's-d-Man and she acknowledge the fact that he is at fault too. (But even though a man would pursue a woman if she is SANE enough she won't make herself become the other woman) Thanks to He-who-thinks-he's-d-Man honesty he had the courage to admit everything. (kahit papano ipinagtapat nya ang lahat)

So what now? You poor silly Educated Biyach? Yes you idiot, aren’t you ashamed of what you are doing? you have just added yourself to the growing number of other women here on earth. Not to mention the humiliation you’ve created as you jump in to this so called “flirting?” Huh? you have just dragged your name into shame. And after this, your name will be infamous! - Sotnas Enelrahs … mwehehehe

I will use a matching table cloth (preferrably lime green/orange) and make a centerpiece by tying a bouquet of balloons to a zebra, lion, giraffe or hippopotamus stuffed toy (or just a baloon centerpiece =p). To complete the Madagascar theme , green streamers with Madagascar animals hanging from the ceiling will be seen around the room. For a special touch, drape animals print fabric over your furniture (this is optional).

Welcome aboard!



me, my sam and our son...

Whew! my 2nd post. I chose to share this to everyone....the arrival of our little bundle of joy Luis Antonio Carpio-Alhambra. Our cute little angel was born last September 12, 2006 at exactly 12:05 am in San Juan de Dios Hospital, Pasay City.

Baby Luis was born weighing only 5.14 lbs (2.65K) relatively smaller compare to any newborn baby you can see at the nursery room. He was a premie, premature born lacking 10 days to be considered as a full term. He was only 35 weeks and 4 days when I delivered him through vacuum extraction (normal delivery)

9am sept 11, 2006 and I was scheduled for a weekly check-up so my hubby and I went to see my OB. Just like any ordinary check-up day there is a long line of pregnant women waiting for their turn so I keep my cool and patiently waited for my turn it was already 12nn when I entered the room and we found out that I'm about to deliver the same day (I was already 4-5cm that time)

I was admitted the same day around 1pm. I had to make a couple of phone calls to tell everybody that I'm about to give birth and that I need my things to be brought to the hospital. I was in my room at around 2pm we were already hungry since it was past lunchtime but I was not allowed to eat and I was told that I will be brought to the labor room. When I was already inside the labor room, that was the longest 8hours of my life waiting for my baby luis to come.... from 3pm-6pm I was wearing fetal monitor and my bp was also being monitored because I was diagnosed to have a pre-eclampsia case (bp was rising from 130/100, 140/100 to 150/100) It was to my surprise when I was already inside the labor room, my bp went down to 120/80 which is a normal bp for me.

At exactly 6pm, I was given a medicine trhough my IV to induce labor. I was brought to the delivery room around 11:35pm (sa wakas....8-9cm na fully dilated na daw sabi ni dra yey!!! Image) luis came out after 30mins of pushing (di ko cya ma-ire kase bangag ako sa epidural feeling ko na-todo ko na ang ire eeewwww) my OB decided to have a vacuum extraction because luis does'nt want to come out (bumabalik cya sa loob hehehe lalabas sandali ulo nya tapos papasok ulet haha! ang kulet ng anak ko Image )

I was mesmerize to see my son and at the same time I was so amazed to see the little creature that was once inside my tummy moving, kicking and gigling.... giving birth is such a great experience and it's worth the wait kahit kinalyo na ang likod mo sa sobrang tgal mo sa labor roomImage
