This Funny Thing Called LIFE

We had Kylee since June 18 and she is still here with us. Its a joy to have a kid in the house. She is a girl so she was not more of a rugrat like Ondrej. Dont get me wrong, I love fatboy! He is like my son but the little rascal is not an Alfalfa but more of a Spanky. He gets along with Beamer perfectly because they both love wrestling.

Of course I feel left out.

Kylee is more of my wavelength. More of a mini-me. A little more girly than I was way back (Arte much!) but a mini-me nonetheless.

My sister, Sugar's bestfriend Carlos is Ky's Daddy. And next week Sugar will be driving with Ondrej from Virginia to New Jersey (fetch my Mom) and then head to The Riv. I miss them. I dont get to hang out with them a lot but maybe in due time we will.

I might enroll in Zumba next week. I heard a lot of it. I know that I needed an exercise and I am perfectly aware that lazy is my middle name when it comes to exercise.

Life is still winning nonetheless.

Quincy Market

It has been common knowledge that I am in awe of Boston. The historical sites are phenomenal. I felt somehow transported. I even think to myself that I like it better than Manhattan. Beamer (also known as the hubster) and I together with Jamie, Sal & Kylee went for a walk in Boston one day. We did not finish the Freedom Trail but I will prod the hubster to do it one day.

Anyway, yesterday Beamer and I agreed that our tables on our Farm wedding will be named after places we liked and adored. 

Getting married has ups and downs and I realized that its a fact of life. If you don't argue it is not a marriage. So yes, we do argue. Sometimes a lot. But often times we just love. 

As this blog is all about (My) married life, feel free to read my other blogs if you get bored.

Queen of the Kitchen

I am the Queen of this kitchen. Disobey me and you STARVE!

I arrived in the glamorous USA (again the reference of USA as glamorous follows my addiction with Juicy!) November 28, 2010. And Sissy visited my crib twice since then. First when we dont have anything but our brand new bed and his old queen size. We practically slept like paupers but in my recollection we've slept on worse! 

I love having my family visit us. I love having Sissy's family visit us as well. I love the feeling it brings to me when we just hang out doing nothing. Its just so nostalgic. The second time Sissy's family visited was after 6 months and though I felt that my crib is a little bit better she pointed out some things I have to do to make it better.I explained, this is not my home. I am merely living here. But she stated: "You have to make it feel like your own. Anything you live in/on must have your signature." And though I am confused whether I should follow her or not, I decided to clean up. Especially after she prodded me to move one table from my Office to the kitchen at 2:oo in the morning.

Well, I hope you like this, Sissy. This is not much but we all got to start somewhere.

Marhaba: Welcome to my Living Room

As I have stated on my Fashion blog:

I was inspired lately to clean my crib. Sissy sort of challenged me to redecorate and gave me a few tips. So, for the next few days you will be looking at whatever's inside my crib!

Beamer love the new look because it is so cozy! He stated that it was not crampy and it fits our life perfectly. My lazy boy finally has its place.

Happy Mother's Day

I had an absentee father and it resulted to growing up with 2 mothers and a father I never had but aways will be. To my Nanay, Mama Pacita and Papa Vi you were the parents I grew up with and I will love you until the last breath of my being.


When I stated before that I am a difficult person I was not exaggerating. But before I became a difficult person, I was a difficult child.

My mother had a great deal of trouble with me, but I think she enjoyed it.
~Mark Twain

As stated before, I did things during my haywire days that I may not be proud of but I most certainly have no regrets because I am who and what I am now because of who and what I was before. Had I changed something the result would have been different.


The greatest Mothers in the world:
1.) Is the mother who is not your biological mother but loved you just as much.
2.) Is the man who is of no relation but loved, protected, guided and treated you like you are his own.
3.) Is the mother who also stood as a father.


Happy Mothers Day!

The Relentless BUM

"I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand. Henceforth will I apply ALL my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy."
Og Mandino


I have been bumming around for a period of time. I sort of get depressed not doing anything. So I try to divert this depression into something useful. As always.

I do scrap booking. And I am through with the Photo Album I gave to Beamer in Dubai, a gift I vowed to finish once I'm here with him. And so I did. And now I'm halfway through with his old photos. I saw his ex-girlfriend and I am pleased. She is pretty. My husband has good taste in women. Hahaha! And I am almost finished with our wedding album.


I do crafts. And I recently made this postcards showcase hanging in our living room. I will be using it on our Farm wedding as well. That's why I am prodding my friends to send me a postcard as an RSVP because it will be decorated on the wedding day itself.

I am on the process of packing the winter clothes since its spring. I'm a little bit dazed of a four season fashion. I am from Philippines and we only have dry or wet season, either way its hot or humid. Then I stayed in Dubai for 4 years which is basically just like Philippines and I also have no problem with that. But here, its too much of a difference that I still need to learn the difference of the winter jacket and a spring jacket (because I never wear one too often) and I no longer need to wear one of my boots because apparently its a winter boots. Damn!

I have to set up the other room because we have to move on that side now that winter is over. I have to buy end tables and stuff to make it feel like a room. More of like the room that we have. That's my pet project.

Our office room which has a single bed is a bit tupsy turvy because of I am using it as my office. I am designing my gown and making some decorations for the forthcoming Farm Wedding.

I have to remodel the gown I wore during the City Hall wedding into something else.

I have to make sure the gown I inherited from Ms. Sandy will fit me. I have to buy silk ribbon as a belt accent for that dress.

I keep 3 Blogs. This BLOG (married in Superbia) and a secret blog for the Farm wedding and I still have to finish the other blog (shoe-paholic getting married) before I get married again.

I am a wife, which means I have a job to take care of my hubster and make his lunch bag. I still have to learn how to make breakfast though but he is always on the go! I make sure his work clothes are prepared too. I love the part where his colleagues complimented him. He is still the same person I married 5 months ago but now he has a better wardrobe.

Did I mention that since I shop a lot, I sort of needed to iron a lot of clothes and its all piled up but I have to be vigilant about it now. Hahahaha! That, or I should stop shopping! So, I guess I need to be ironing those clothes.

I started a business and it is still in the works but I am working so hard for it. Visit House of Sun and contact me if you are in the Philippines (specifically Bicol) and if you are interested to be a part of House of Sun Vintage Co.

I am mostly busy planning for the Farm wedding program and my wedding in the Philippines which is gonna be huge not because there's a lot of money involved but because all my friends are gonna be there.

Did I mention I am contemplating to get driving lessons while waiting for my work permit from the immigration?

I think I haven't strained my fullest potential. There's more. There's more.

A Bottomless Crevasse of A Dream

"Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail."
~ Ralph Waldo Emerson-

People sometimes intrigue me. After inculcating some sense in their rather miserable minds I thought you got me and the point I have been reiterating for the past few years.

I've been rattling my brains why I love Sue Sylvester and then an amazing lightbulb sparked in my brain: Because she tells the truth however harsh it can be.
-
-"Not everyone could be champions. Not everyone SHOULD be champions. We need fry cooks, bus drivers." Sue Sylvester

Im just so tired telling people the truth, so I guess I have to start bullshitting them for once. Maybe they will believe me if I tell them that they are really pretty and they do not have those yellow teeth (as mine or worse!) and they have lustrous hair (not me, I have dandruff!) and they really look good if they color their hair blonde and they are really sexy (pass me the barf bag!) and they have a six pack (again, not me! I have a belt bag!) and they have a posture of a beauty queen that would put Naomi Campbell to shame!

Really! Give it up! Think of something more productive rather than weaving castles in the sky! Its just such a pain to see you waste your time and effort when you could have been something else..maybe something better. Far better than what you are dreaming of.

Let me tell you a story. I dream too. When I was a kid I dreamt of becoming a singer. But do I have the vocals to back me up? HELL NO!!! Im like a howling coyote in the middle of the night. Should I keep on dreaming? That is pathetic! Think If you are equipped! If you are not, think if you can possess it through practice and modern technology. Like if you have crooked teeth, get a friggin' brace. If the problem is not fixable for some reasons, then.....My GOD! Please give it up!

I will not advice that you kept on pursuing a bottomless crevasse of a dream. I have said this time and time again, not all people are equipped to do the things they want. Look in the mirror and see for yourself if you are equipped with the talent, the skill, the intelligence, the beauty and the poise to be whoever you want to be...because honestly, sometimes we dont possess all of them. So, give up and start dreaming something else. Maybe you deserve more!
