femme fatale

I just opened my new app Invitation & i was surprised with what I saw — OMG! it looks like ‘m really missing a LOT here in friendster — ‘m soooo hooked in Multiplying (abellemunoz.multiply.com)

‘M sooo happy to see that testimonials &comments keeps on coming despite my not so regular visit here anymore. Checked profile of friends & get to see my face in their featured friends even in their shout outs:-) ( that’s really something I swear!) — that’s why hirap ako maglagay ng featured friends baka may magtampo ( may natatamaan ba jan? hahahaha - mga nagdadrama sakin na wal sila sa featured friends ko — grow up!:p) para safe mga anak ko na lang hehe When I checked my mother’s day greetings thru my Multiply link - geez! my last log in: 6days — it hit me - it used to be last log in:24 hours for years….. the views lessen (approx.200 views) compared before ( 350 up views palagi). That’s understandable — I havent uploaded a single photo here since Feb 10 ( more than three mos - suuuupppper tagal na walang upload — nasa multiply ang 2008 updates ko). Overall, it’s overwhelming! I’m rich with friends that’s what matters most to me.

Thanks for those who’ve waited FOR MONTHS & MONTHS & MONTHS for friends approval ALL in my recently added friends — well, you may see that i have 650 plus friends those were really people i knew from all walks of life &to the diff places ive been to & lived. I can just count on my fingers my online buddies here. The rest are people from my past & present from Nursery up to present ( ‘m 32 by May 22)… They are the ff:

DAVAO PEEPS: composed of relatives,PWC friends from kinder to gr.6, Ateneo friends from 1st yr -2nd yr high, Neighbors - Monte MAria, Pag-Ibig, Skyline, KIng & I casts, churchmates & family friends

MANILA CROWD: relatives -mostly cousins on both sides - Munoz & De Guzman, OLOPSCIAN 3rd yr- 4th yr high kadas , MArikina friends, the Legaspi cousins - an dami nila :-),UST friends from 1st yr - 4th yr college - classmates,schoolmates, batchmates, ka-org - SALAKOT, JCBA, Scarlet, Rotaract, Red Cross, Arcana etc etc ( pumapasok ako for the extra curricular activiyes sa USTe hehe), friends from other courses - AB, ENG, CAFA, EDUC

FRIENDS & COLLEAGUES FROM WORK - Novartis-Gerber, AstraZeneca-Multicare, mga ka area na MED REPS & all

ADVERTISING WORLD - friends & clients from UNILAB - Nutritionals, Westmont, Biomedis, UAP, Therapharma, Bio Femme, Pediatrica

GCF-ICS family - GCF-ICS Mommies & Kiddos, Faculty Staff - Teachers

Friends thru Sibling connections - friends of my bro ( dvo, manila, abroad) & sis ( dvo mla CEBU)who became my friends too

The hubbies of my friends, the wives of my friends , the kids of my friends - nagka sanga sanga na.

THat 660 friends are people I really know except for few online friends — esp the last batch ( more than ten ) who waited for months — since it’s mother’s day last sunday — i just gve it away i guess you really like to be my friends considering the looooooong wait!

I dont add just like that … it’s just that I’m moving around different networks ….
I love you my friendster peeps!!!! — lie-low lang muna ako ng konti dito - ‘m enjoyin’ uploadin’ pix in multiply
Goin’ back, so what m i gonna do with these APP Inv — will all they fit in my homepage hehehe I can’t seem to cope up with friendster anymore… ‘m glad na mraming na ringbago “sayo” ( friendster)

GUYs thanks for the invites — wait lang ha — dko pa to mashado maintindihan — like do you getto play poker with friends in friendster? ganun ba yun? sorry, i just came out of the mountain called MULTIPLY…

That message is from Ron. I copied & pasted it from his multiply account (haircut100.multiply.com) He is my graphic designer & working partner for more than three years. Pink Fox is on its 5th year now. 75% of Pink Fox existence & my time in work are spend with my graphic designer, Ron.

It’s nice to hear from somebody that you somehow made a difference in their life & was able to benefit something from you… Likewise, I learned a lot from him in handling people in one’s workplace.

Thanks last thur. Nov. 8 (up to nov 9 - coz inabot na tayo ng 3am for the rush deadline project) — that’s really something, Ron!

All the best, Ron!

This song is mastered by my dad & my daughter Czeskah ( well, and us too!). During those  times we love to play it over & over again while inside the car & at home dad would play his guitar while singing it with Czeskah ( and  again, us too )

Four years ago, August 30, 2003 they were set to do this duet during Cassy’s dedication (my 2nd & youngest daughter) but didn’t push through *sniff* *sigh* *sad*— don’t ask me why. argh!

Anyways, I wanna share the lyrics of the song.To some, life seems to be soooo complicated &  all. Contentment seems nowhere to be found. Disappointment sets in easily — domino  effect — Happiness  is far from reality. Embracing depression with all arms without knowing it.

This song will help you realize that HAPPINESS IS EVERYWHERE - we  just don’t recognize it — we tend to take little things for granted but TRULY those little things are the precious ones.

Check out  the lyrics * happy face*

Lea:
You know some kids ask us what happiness really is.
Well, to me happiness is a hamburger, going to the movies, new clothes.
Well, what’s your happiness, gerard?

Gerard:
My happiness is a hotdog sandwich, new rubber shoes, new t-shirts,
New jeans and also my favorite part of happiness is love.

Happiness is two kinds of ice cream
Finding your skate key, telling the time
Happiness is learning to whistle
Tying your shoe for the very first time
Happiness is playing the drum in your own school band
And happiness is walking hand in hand

Happiness is five different crayons
Knowing a secret, climbing a tree
Happiness is finding a nickel
Catching a firefly, setting him free
Happiness is being alone every now and then
And happiness is coming home again

Lea:
Happiness is morning and evening

Gerard:
Daytime and nighttime, too

Both:
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That’s loved by you

Gerard:
Happiness is having a sister

Lea:
Sharing a sandwich

Both:
Getting along
Happiness is singing together when day is through
And happiness is those who sing with you

Happiness is morning and evening
Daytime and nighttime, too
For happiness is anyone and anything at all
That’s loved by you

*** Now, what’s your happiness? — a LOT, right?

BE MERRY. BE  HAPPY.

Yesterday, I  ate 2pcs of sweet ripe Mango for breakfast. After lunch, I ate four cheeks of manggoes ( 2 pcs minus the buto).

Then  came afternoon snack. My sis  & I headed Via Mare, Promenade for  a  merienda.I  wasn’t thinkin’ of  any  Mango snack on  our way  to Promenade instead I  was craving  for fresh  lumpia  &  other all time fave filipino merienda in  Via Mare.

We got the table with the sofa &  as  the waiter handed  us the menu — oooohhh! Puto  Maya  caught  my attention. Of  course,  I still order fresh  lumpia -  Ianne got bagnet with rice & pinakbet - yes! for snack & I  added Puto Maya. Puto Maya is  decorated slices of  sweet ripe  manggoes topped  with a cup of biko sprinkled with sesame seeds…. mmmmmm

As the Puto Maya was served to us - my sis  & I strongly feel that it’s perfect to pair it with hot purong cacao.So, I ordered tsokolate &  we poured it  over the  Puto Maya &  we shared the puto maya savoring it in every  bite!

Gourdo’s was our first stop  after  having  our  snack.While we were  there I was about to  buy a  Mango scent  oil - ‘m  very near the cashier already but  think twice  coz mejo nakakhilo.Nevertheless, I got hooked with the  Mango scent  for  a couple of  minutes  of all  the scented oil they offer.

We  eneded  the day doing  grocery in  Unimart.

I  eneded  the  night, with a midnght snack of guess what? –  a whole pc. of Mango.

I  woke up this morning  eating  four  slices of sweet ripe mango  before bringing cassy to  school.

My daughter Cassy  is such a  junior –  she loves mango  sooo much too &  she have it for lunch.

that’s it. gotta go mango!

Through my surfing yesterday, I came across the world of bloggers both ordinary people &  big celeb  REAL blog accounts — goin’ over the details of their stories  & of course their photos with topics mostly about food  & travel, I said to myself mmmm, we share  the same interests BUT we have totally different set of viewers/readers: they share their thoughts .. their life with the whole world (millions of people) while I ONLY share mine to my 559 friends to date.

Been in friendster since Nov 2003  &  since then my account remains to be a private profile only my friends alone can view &  access  my account & I am comfortable that way — a lot of my  friends told me already that they regularly visit my account & they enjoy viewing my photos as well as my kiddos photos. My pictures is eqaul to my life.If you are updated in viewing my photos then you are updated with my life already even if we don’t see each other for years.

I  have NO flickr, multiply, shutterfly, photobucket, pbase, blogspot & any other photo blog site ( does yahoo photos counts? -limited  to very few friends & you have to send access to friends before they can actually view it - only if you feel like sharing) coz i just don’t feel like linking my life to the world per se afraid of i don’t exactly know why but I’m afraid period.I would love sana to share my thoughts, my views, my  captured moments, my life - going really public hinders me from doing it.

I wonder why my shopaholic sister deciced to make her friendster public (anyone can view) from the start of  her joining  here,also nov 2003 (she actually made my account.yep! she’s the one who signed me up here) coz she’s really a private person.For those of you who knows my sister (163 peeps - our common friends here in friendster) she would most likely  to  go on  private profile & I’m the one who’ll go public but it’s the other way around … & I realized now, after really really trying  to understand, that it’s okay to go public after all…

so, anyone starts now.

April 28, 07 was one of my "gluttonest" day this summer! After having bite sized fried pork a la adobo paired with mixed  veggies for lunch  @ home, we headed the hospital  to visit my Uncle again - my  dad, sis & i bought a  dozen of ensaymada &  mamon combined  & a  famiy size all meat cheesy pops from Pizza Hut - munch a slice.

We left the hospital by 3 pm rushing our way for a 3pm Princess party in Northeast Greenhills. At the 1st party I started with the chocolate fountain - dipping bananas &  mallows…after a few more chika-chika buffet’s ready! (can be mistaken as a wedding buffet) — heavy yummy meals in line — name it!  beef.pork.chicken.fish.pasta.dessert (lechon was d best!) my  plate was full with a li’l bit of every viand - I can’t hardly breathe (burp!)– we left the princess party by 5pm, my kids  & I weren’t able to watch the bubble show anymore (which  btw, my sis  told me was very nice) my kids missed the loot bags too since we are again rushing for a swimming partry in Makati  that we can’t  afford to miss — it’s  the 10th  bday  party of my  daughter’s bestfriend Ysabel.Approx. 5:35pm we were already in the parking lot running so as not to miss the elevator that’s going up. As soon  as  we arrived had  beso-beso with my close firends (the mommies) & I  was immediately handed a plate & there I was again in the buffet table ( just a travel time pagitan). Again, there were pasta, KFC  friend chicken, Chicken  pastel, beef morcon,pork bbq, pepperoni & cheese cheesy pops pizza  & ate everything in moderation.That plate lasted for an hour  &  a half since I’m quite full ( okay, ‘m full quit  quite). In between, there’s cashew nuts  in the  table for pica-pica & I can’t resist nuts.

Around 630pm,my sis called me up saying  that she’s already in Greenbelt3 telling me that I can follow there as soon as I’m okay to leave the swimming party. Before leaving, I had 2 servings of double dutch ice cream  & a small slice of chocolate cake (burp!burp!).

Past 8pm, I arrived in Bubba Gump (good thing it’s only walking distance from the swimming party) — aaaah! kain  na naman — before heading the place I already texted Tria, my childhood Davao  friend  that ‘am super super full from one party  to another.Good grief,  they  just had their dinner too — so we had dessert in Bubba  gump — but hey! it’s  bubba  gump –  that means big american serving size … I am an automatic  bottomless  iced  tea drinker & can finished  four refills  but not this time one  round lasted  for an hour before I asked for my 2nd & last refill.For dessert/pica-pica we have ice cream cake, nachos & fries (burp!burp!burp)good  thing, we keep on laughing out loud ( as if we own the place or rented it for a private function) so I was able to burn  some of the carbs & calories I just had.

Twas fun!fun!fun! reminiscing the good ole davao days with people in my growing years.Tita evelyn is still the same tita Evelyn physically (aftr what …. 20 yrs?)  & of  course, pictorial to  the max!

But ’twas sad!sad!sad! gaining  more & more lbs each day…

****  the  next day April 29 — mom treated dinner @ Dencio’s greenhills  - we had sinigang na  baboy,kare-kare & sisig –whew! all porky-pork! yummy! — we walked  from  Dencio’s  to Promenade  & headed Razon’s for dessert — we all had a round of the  best summer partner  — Halo-halo! -  the  best of the best halo-halo!

Music Quotes and Proverbs

Doc Childre and Bruce Cryer, From Chaos to Coherence
As any jazz musician knows, it takes flexibility and adaptability for improvisation to create beauty.

Doc Childre and Howard Martin, HeartMath Solution
At that elusive moment when we transcend our ordinary performance and feel in harmony with something else—whether it’s a glorious sunset, inspiring music or another human being—our studies have shown that what we are really coming in sync with is ourselves. Not only do we feel more relaxed and at peace, but this entrained state increases our ability to perform well and offers numerous health benefits.

Albert Einstein
He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice.

Katie Greenwood
Music isn’t just learning notes and playing them, You learn notes to play to the music of your soul.

Anon
A real leader faces the music, even when he doesn’t like the tune.

Joseph Addison
Music, the greatest good that mortals know, And all of heaven we have below.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Mozart has the classic purity of light and the blue ocean; Beethoven the romantic grandeur which belongs to the storms of air and sea, and while the soul of Mozart seems to dwell on the ethereal peaks of Olympus, that of Beethoven climbs shuddering the storm-beaten sides of a Sinai. Blessed be they both! Each represents a moment of the ideal life, each does us good. Our love is due to both.

Jacques Attali
Today, music heralds… the establishment of a society of repetition in which nothing will happen anymore.

James Brown
I’ve outdone anyone you can name — Mozart, Beethoven, Bach, Strauss. Irving Berlin, he wrote 1,001 tunes. I wrote 5,500.

A lot of people are singing about how screwed up the world is, and I don’t think that everybody wants to hear about that all the time.

Witold Lutoslawski
People whose sensibility is destroyed by music in trains, airports, lifts, cannot concentrate on a Beethoven Quartet.

Modern music is as dangerous as narcotics.

Henry Miller
Music is a beautiful opiate, if you don’t take it too seriously.

The new sound-sphere is global. It ripples at great speed across languages, ideologies, frontiers and races. The economics of this musical Esperanto is staggering.

The politics of Eden come loud.

Igor Stravinsky
A good composer does not imitate; he steals.

Joseph Addison (1672-1719), English essayist, poet, statesman
Nothing is capable of being well set to music that is not nonsense.

George Gordon Byron (1788-1824), [Lord Byron] English romantic poet

The truest expression of a people is in its dance and music.

Maurice Druon, From the Memoirs of Zeus

A jazz musician is a juggler who uses harmonies instead of oranges.

Steven Halpern
When Mozart was composing at the end of the eighteenth century, the city of Vienna was so quiet that fire alarms could be given verbally, by a shouting watchman mounted on top of St. Stefan’s Cathedral. In twentieth-century society, the noise level is such that it keeps knocking our bodies out of tune and out of their natural rhythms. This ever-increasing assault of sound upon our ears, minds, and bodies adds to the stress load of civilized beings trying to live in a highly complex environment.

Sir John Herschel
Music and dancing (the more the pity) have become so closely associated with ideas of riot and debauchery among the less cultivated classes, that a taste for them, for their own sakes, can hardly be said to exist, and before they can be recommended as innocent or safe amusements, a very great change of ideas must take place.

Albert Einstein (1875-1955), German-born American theoretical physicist, theories of relativity, philosopher
He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder.
