Black friday

Black friday a day after thanksgiving is a day where the stores have a lot of big sale. So I went shopping to get something for myself. And guess what I've got! A coach bag and a purse. I actually was not planning to get something expensive but because of the big sale then I decided to buy it. This is the most expensive bag I've got. I think I'm partly paying for the brand, - boooo... Okay, I think I deserve to try a branded bag once in my life. I also bought winter clothes from old navy. I love buying stuff at old navy, they're not too expensive. I also got one cute dress from H & M for $29.95. Well, I hope everybody who went shopping on black friday enjoyed the things they bought... Have a happy day everyone! :)

purse: original price $98, sale for $59, plus less 20% I payed $47.20

bag: original price $ 268, sale for $99, plus less 20%, I payed $79.20

Mga Bisdak!

Yesterday, I went out with my friend to visit her cousin in San Francisco. Her cousin invited her 2 bisaya friends to come over. Marge and I were watching tagalog movie while the other two were preparing food for our dinner. I was so happy meeting new people here not only that they can speak bisaya (my language) but they are also very funny. Looking forward on going out with them.

Happy Thanksgiving

We have a lot of good food and a lot to thank for the blessings that God has bestowed upon us.

When you say thanksgiving, of course turkey is always there.

Pacman fight

Last saturday, my friend invited me and my husband to go to her husband's cousin's house to watch (pay per view) Pacquiao and Cotto's fight. At first we were debating if we're gonna go or not because we have to drive for 1 1/2 hour to get there. But since we don't have anything to do and was really want to watch pacman fight so we decided to go. There was a lot of filipinos there and of course foods too. The fight ended on 12th rounds, it was a good fight! We're all so happy that Pacman won! I can see it in each one of us that we are so proud to be a filipino and so happy for Pacquiao, he made us soooo proud! :)

San Francisco with Friends

Last weekend one of my upland family Liza from L.A. visited us (me and Marge) in bay area. We took her to San Francisco because she haven't been there yet. We did a lot for 2 days in S.F. went to pier 39, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., Union Square, Shopping, Starbucks, Sip Bar, Ashley's Engagement Party, Intramuros Bar (filipino bar), Golden Gate, Lombard St. and Seafood Market but yet the 2 days is not enough. There are a lot to see and do in S.F. We had a lot of fun! :)

Halloween 2009

I just stayed home on my first and second halloween here in the U.S. so I really wasn't able to see how people celebrate their halloween. This is my third halloween and it's saturday. My husband took me to San Francisco where you can see a lot of people wearing their nice costumes. Going to S.F. by BART I already saw funny costumes there and I enjoyed watching them. It was a happy halloween indeed! :)

A cup of coffee

When I was in Philippines I read a book about coffee. It says, that it is not good for your health, makes you look older than your age, addicted and etc. So, I tried to avoid drinking coffee.

Since I started studying for FPGEE (foreign Pharmacy Graduate Equivalency Examination) in the U.S. I started dringking coffee. I want something to keep me awake and one thing I know is coffee. I know that coffee is a stimulant and it is good for short term memory. I even heared that it is an antioxidant therefore, good for your health which is contradictory to what I'd read. Anyways, what was important to me was to study more materials as much as I can without feeling sleepy. I have been drinking coffee everyday since 2008. And now, I am addicted! I felt like my day is not complete without a cup of coffee! :)

Pregnancy Test

My husband and I decided to start making a baby! :) - reason #1: I already passed the FPGEE, reason #2: he just turn 40, reason #3: I'm turning 30. We need to hurry up and add one to our family.

This morning I picked up my pregnancy test just to check if I am pregnant. The reason why? --because I want to take a cough syrup which is I'm not sure if it's 100% safe for the fetus. I can't bear my cough anymore, I have been suffering since after our vacation in Hawaii until now. Good thing is the result of the pregnancy test is negative! Now, I can start taking my medicine... :)

Waikiki, Hawaii Vacation

Alooooha! :) I was talking about going to Hawaii on my past entry! My husband and I went to Waikiki 1 week after I took the FPGEE exam to unwind...

Hawaii is one of the best places to visit for a vacation. We stayed at Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach wherein at the front is the white sand beach and at the back is the shopping center, very accissible and convenient. It was a dream come true for me visiting their beautiful places/beaches. My husband and I enjoyed our 6-day-vacation. Here's our photos:

Waikiki Beach (I love swimming here, the water is warm & the sands is so powdery, wink!)

Hanauma Bay (known to be one of the best place in the whole world to go snorkling, I saw a lot of big, colorful fish there, they swim close to me!)

Me at Hanauma Bay :)

Dinner at Dukes with my elem-highschool classmate Marie and her husband Steve (the food is great! yum2x!)

Playing with the waves at North Shore (we had fun playing with the dog too, I don't know who's the owner of this black friendly dog, he enjoyed playing with the waves as much as I do, hehe)

Luau (very intertaining and there's a lot of good foods, yum! we're so full)

Paradise Cove Luau (pics with king and queen, haha!)

Diamond Head (it was a pretty good hiking, almost 1 hour to get on the top, the view up there is breathtaking)

Boat Sailing at Waikiki (turtle hunting! opps! I mean, we went out to the sea to go snorkling and hoping to see turtles!)

Here we go, swimming with huge turtle, I saw 6 turtles and a school of fish here, swam so close to them but we're not allowed to touch them, they are one of the endangered species!)

FPGEE - done! :)

Oh my God! I passed the FPGEE with the scaled score of 93! 75 is the passing score and I got 93, I can't believed it! The hard work finally paid off. I'm so happy!!! My husband and I were jumping for JOY when we saw the result online... WoW! Praise the Lord for He is good! :) It's time for the next step TOEFL ibt...
