I Love to Hate (Part Deux)



I was on a "cheese nips" binge-ing with my sister Sugar and she told me that I am evil. I am. I really am. My mother told the hubster during the course of his courtship that I can be really really nice but if I am treated badly I give it back ten folds.

I would have to agree. 

"I'd rather be a bitch than a doormat." 
— Jessica Zafra

Let me tell you something about myself, I have nothing to do. I can dedicate my life ruining yours and making you miserable so do not try my patience because it is wearing thin. I will not submit in your BS because if I am a nobody, you are just as nobody as me. How dare you doubt my powers you puny little insect. I will squash you like a bug!

The last 2 sentences I've read somewhere. Nevertheless, you have been warned. You have a lot of things to do and problems to tackle. Make sure you don't step on your bounds because little person, you do not know me. YOU do not know what I can do.

This is not a threat, this is a PROMISE.

Cheese Nips


Being married to an American (Born and Raised New Yorker) of an Italian (his Mom is half Italian bearing the maiden name, Dominioni) and Irish (his father is of Irish and French lineage) has ups and downs.

Dont get me wrong, the Hubster is extremely lovable. Sometimes, much much more than the usual but for those who knew me that well, there is always a room for hatred. I am a hater! But deep in the recesses of my purely black heart I can still feel love.

(Everytime Beamer see me skype-ing with my family and friends.)
Beamer: What do you talk about for so long? Cheese Nips?
(referring to "chismis" aka gossip in Filipino language)

Ladies & Gentlemen, my husband! He always mess Filipino words and still manage to be lovable. I think he is slowly developing this skill of making me smile when I am not in the mood. Slowly.

I will not be ranting about the things I need to do. On second hand, why the hell not? This is my blog. Go and get yours.

Looking at the crib makes me cringe. I have occupied our lounge area and the living room for my wedding decors. Our winter room is full of clean clothes which needed to be ironed and hang. Our guest room is still not cleaned since Kylee left. The Dining area is full of our things from our mini vacay which was ruined by Irene. The only clean place will be the kitchen and our Summer Room where we sleep.

I need to continue doing the decors. I am now on to the hanging decors for the pavilion. I have to make 100 pcs and now I made 6. Way to go!!!

Today I will be getting the wedding favors. It will also serve as the Seat Names. And probably look for a dress for my Mother because she gained weight and the dress she has no longer fit her. She is always on a night shift hence eating a lot! I also need to get someone to alter my wedding dress. And I think, I need to start my chores now.

A Bitch Called Irene


I'm back!

My mini-vacay was ruined by the hurricane. Beamer and I left The Riv last Thursday and headed to New Jersey. Friday we went to New York. We were supposed to accompany my mother in the Philippine Consulate and go to The MET and Statue of Lib. Unfortunately, while we are on the consulate, the hubster learned that the hurricane is on its way and traffic was predicted. So we went back to NJ as soon as possible. The hubster headed to his friends in NY for golf (before Irene struck) and the fantasy football draft.

In the next 3 nights, I gorged myself with good old Filipino food from Apollo (Filipino) Restaurant. I watched Filipino movies which included an extremely annoying movie called Adventures of Pureza which is really really boring and a complete waste of time and money. Good thing I have time to waste and the money came from my mother who was sleeping all through the movie.

I insisted that Beamer do not stress himself while we are separated due to the hurricane and enjoy his time with family and friends. I do not want him to travel because it is dangerous. Extremely dangerous.

While New Yorkers are ranting that the news about Irene was over-hyped I still feel that it is better to be safe than sorry. There were several deaths (because of  hurricane) and people were evacuated. I am just glad that we all followed necessary precautions.

My mom was renting a shabby basement and I am glad that there was no power outage and flood. I never really experienced the hurricane but I felt that my past storm experiences in my country was worse. Flood was our main problem and I am just glad that we did not experience it now.

God is good!

And now that I'm back, you will be hearing more of my upcoming wedding rants.

Forces of Nature

August 24, 2010:

Busy Day as usual. I woke up cranky as you all know. Then had breakfast. Hubster went out of my way for awhile to get coffee and I took a shower.

Went to Rite Aid to get some stuff. Went to Health First for my blood work. Went to the Clinic to get meds refill for September. I told my doctor I wont be able to make it on September coz I will be busy for the wedding. Went to Michael's to buy some stuff. Okay, a lot of stuff needed for the wedding. Spent 30 minutes and a dollar less of a hundred. I am screwed and out of budget!

Lunch at a Cowboy styled pizzeria called One Horse Pizzeria & Saloon.

Went to look at a Party Planner to ask for bouncy castle rates. Too friggin' expensive for a 2 hour thing. Went vintage shopping for table cloths. I was particularly looking for flowery cloths. It robbed me off my budget as I have spent a little more of a hundred for a few ones. But those are good stuff.

Went to Marshall's (my favorite shop in the whole wide world!) for my early birthday present. Okay, presents. Betsey Johnson hotpink sunglasses and Audrey Hepburn-ish GAP sunglasses. Fergie ruffled flats. Rene Rolfe sports bra. Did I mention I am a 36B now? I still could not believe that I used to be flat-chested when I was in high school. Beats the hell out me. Be careful what you wish for!

Aug. 25, 2011:

Today, I will be fixing stuff to bring on our weekend vacay. We will be leaving at 12noon going to New Jersey. Tomorrow we will try to look like tourists in NY. Hey, when Beamer and I had our stay-cation. We asked a random guy being walked by his dogs to take a picture of us and he said: "Now you know that not all people from Fall River are bad." Imagine we live in The Riv and they thought we're tourists. 


Mwahahahaha! Where was I?

Afterwards, Beamer will go to Long Island for his draft and spend the night there with his friends. While I bond with my mother. Then Sunday morning we are bound to see the in-laws for the twins birthday. 

Then head home in The Riv.

Not unless the mother effin' Irene screw our plans again. Every time we have a good plan, Mother Nature just hates me. Always try to screw up my plans! Always!


Now let me go and pack.

Crazy is what Crazy gets



I am trying to perfect the smoky eyes for an eye make-up.Though I feel that I should practice more of the natural look which is the hardest thing to do. I just can leave the house without a lipstick. And since I live in the suburbs (though The Riv is a city, I still don't get that feeling!) I usually don't wear make-up and high heels anymore. I hate it! I just friggin' hate it!

Where was I?

I woke up on the other side of the bed! I am being a hater today. Not that I was never but it is more intense today. My Mom called and I told her I was busy. She kept on saying she cant hear me so I told her not to call me because I am feeling more stressed that Beamer kept looking at me. I am still not dressed. I am supposed to have my blood work today for my liver. The motherfucking liver is not as good as it used to be. I think that's why I easily get drunk by a glass of Pinot Grigio!

I felt like cursing a lot today! My head is spinning! I want to smash things! Maybe start with my head! 

The hubster stated that I am just not used to him being around every morning. Its his vacation and I am really busy with the wedding decors and all but I just cant concentrate because he is here. He is omnipresent!

I'm going fucking NUTS!!!!

That's a Good Bingo



As Beamer is on a 2 week vacation from work, he spent it with 2 day and overnight golfing and boozing with best buds. He however checked up on me in the evening and the next morning. I slept in the couch watching TV and 2 movies. My hands are swollen doing the wedding decors, headbands, hair ornaments, corsage and boutonnieres.

I watched Little Fockers and enjoyed watching Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller still watch each other after all this time. I had a few laughs but what surprised me is No Strings Attached. It sort of inflicted a certain kind of emotion, but then again, I'm getting old. So I think that doesn't count.

Yesterday, Beamer and I decided to have a stay-cation in The Riv. We explored the city of Fall River. We both agreed that this is not where we should buy a home so its better if we enjoy the most of it.

We went to Lizzie Borden House. Apparently she axed (murdered) her wealthy and paranoid father and her stepmother. She was not found guilty but she still became infamous for some reasons. She also burned her clothes right after the murder because it has paint on it. More details and photos will be disclosed on my upcoming blog. The blog will solely cater to all the places Beamer and I will visit. And criticize.

The Marine Museum was closed during Mondays. The Battleship Cove costs $15 per person and Im not really into those ships so Beamer asked a man who just had the tour at the Battleship.

Beamer: Hey Man! Is it worth the $30? (He has 2 kids half price)
Man: Ahmm... (hesitated then probably decided to tell the truth).... Not Really!

Beamer and I went for a Nature Trail but I chickened out because it sort of freaks me out. I watch a lot of Criminal Minds that's why.

Our stay-cation finished playing BINGO at Knights of Columbus Hall in Tiverton with gazillion of people.

Today, I continue doing my decors and stuff. There's still gazillion things to do. I don't know know where to start.

BTW, we did not win anything on the $50 Bingo. But it was FUN!

Bite Me


I will not elaborate what this specific person told me but it was a little harsh. Not because its not true but because she has the guts to tell it to me. I mean, hello? Do you want a mirror for a Christmas gift?

You told me something about my outward appearance. Okay, maybe I have a flat nose (which you did not say because you also have one) or some crooked teeth but I guess its a common knowledge that you don't really say what's OBVIOUS!

For a minute there, I bit my tongue. Not because I am afraid of you (although your weight scares me a bit!) or  because I am a hypocrite and I cannot say it in front of you but because I know that you are soliciting a certain kind of emotion from me. RAGE! And I will not give that to you.

I laughed it off and told you that because of that specific flaw I can be liken to this actress who has similar feature. You were disappointed. Of course! I will never let you trample my ego. Never!

Or at most let you see me have a nervous breakdown! That is so 90's of me!

Oh and by the way, let me just tell you if in case you are not aware of, you are by far UGLIER than me. If your brain will be sold it will be expensive, because its slightly used. You will never con me with a greatness that you never have and never will. You can buy all the diamonds in the world but you can never have the class you think you have. Look in the mirror, closer...dust off the mirror because it is clouding your vision.

And the next time you want to open your mouth, be wary I will have no holds barred. I will bite my tongue no more. You will receive my fist!

Mwahahahahahahahaha!
