iphone dream

Hi Kay,

papa and jenny thought iphone was a possibility when they saw the 199$ open line at best buy website. Could you ask about this sa best buy there? if walang ganito dyan, then its a no-go. they don't have 700 bucks to spare. hehe :)

last minute talaga ito. just had the inspiration to make iola's 2nd birthday party na baby einstein theme. if you get to drop by toys r us or some bookstore or party place, kindly pick up some baby einstein party stuff - plates, hats, whatever. i know this is a long shot. should have thought of this sooner. haaaaaaaaaay!!!!!

o sya. talk to you soon. thanks thanks thanks!

will pay you here. thanks thanks so much! mwah! see you soon!

next week

I can't believe that your arrival is just one week away!!! Wheeee!!! :) Im so excited! I heard erin's been repaired but still with a problem. So, shall I fetch you (or your luggage) with wadi? Just let me know :)

Pahabol on my bilins, can you kindly make sure that the maalox does not contain calcium? it turns out i've high serum calcium level. if the normal is 10.2, mine's 10.7. I attribute this to my daily intake of maalox multi with calcium carbonate. could this also be the cause of my palpitations and tremors? My thyroid function tests are all okay. Enlighten me pls :)

Also, papa would like to ask if there's a best buy (the electronics store) near you. Gusto magpabili ng iphone... alam mo naman, ito lang ang bisyo ni papa. If best buy is accessible, papa will have money transferred to your account asap. 16 gig ang gusto niya. hehehe

Hmmm, how are you so far? I can imagine you have mixed feelings about going home... hehehe... teasing :)

love love,
jo

12 hours

I guess you just have to add 12 hours, not a whole day, which is the time difference between phils and michigan.

I've a question for you. Where do you think I should spend my birthday, Cebu or Bacolod? :) 2 months ago aj and i booked a flight for cebu via cebu pacific's promo flights. We chose cebu because we wanted to go to bohol. But then I found out that mia (my cebuano college friend) had already left for the states, and that the dates we chose (which includes my birthday) are fiesta dates pala for Bohol. After we went to Museo Pambata and the reality of ielle migrating to Bacolod hit, I had the brilliant idea of going to Bacolod instead, that is, if you and ielle will be there. if i'm not mistaken, the dates aj filed are may 13-18, but will check with him again. what do you think? a chance to do all those things we planned during daf's wedding? last hurrah before you become "american?" hehe. let me know so i can make the necessary arrangements with cebu pacific asap.

also, as you do your last-minute shopping and packing, can i ask you please to pick up a few things for me?

• a bottle of maalox
• a wand of nice but affordable mascara (like covergirl or neutrogena, black, NOT waterproof)
• a ladies' briefcase bag na looks nice but affordable. budget ko for this is 2K only hehe. i need one that looks pang young consultant, like the OB girl from grey's anatomy, or yung pang-corporate look. i trust your taste. basically sana magkasya short-bond paper size. here are some samples:

this one i love. its from urban outfitters and cheap lang sya.

this one naman is from target, but medyo mahal. baka you might find a cheaper version elswhere...

ito rin from target. hope ma-gets mo lang yung look and feel through these pics. kung makuha mo yung exactly the first picture, i'd be so happy!!! if not, okay lang kahit ano. as long as you think bagay sa akin. and if possible, may body strap aside from the handles. any neutral color will do rin pla. thanks thanks. these will be a big help to me as i start my new job! later! :)

sob sob sob

Thanks for the heads up. waaaaahhhh! without your credit card i have no way of purchasing it, because i don't have a credit card of my own. I don't have any cash to send you as well, because I have no salary yet...baka may pa. oh this is sooo sad. sniff sniff.

how much is it ba raw dyan sabi ni aj? (baka may hope ako...nakita akong umiiyak hehe) its 20 thou here.

Just got back from subic for anniversary which was another family vacation with iola :) syempre, everything was about her -- from going to the beach so she could play to literally running to ocean adventure so she wouldn't miss the dolphin show (which she didn't get to watch because the loud speakers scared her and she was crying the whole time). she had so much fun, and aj and i are so tired, but happy of course :) hopefully next year she'll manage to sleep with lolo and lola... or ninang berdugs!

haven't posted din pics namin ni ielle sa museo pambata. this laptop of aj's has its usb port disenabled (office protocol) and nahihiya na ako to borrow ate nona's laptop. hanap lang ako ng timing.

when's your arrival? may date na ba?

credit card

Uh oh.. sorry, your notebook is in danger of not being procured! My credit card was discontinued coz of billing problems. Some charges appeared na di naman mine. The new one is being processed. If you want, you can send me the money via BPI na pambili or you can purchase through the net using your credit card and pa deliver mo dito so i can bitbit it home. Have been buying stuff for the sibs via teng's credit card and naka-ilang K na ako without realizing so di ko na madagdag ang sa iyo coz baka di mahabol ni teng ang pambayad.hehe.. All along akala ko pwede pa and today ko lang na realize na max na pla for the budget hence this SOS. Hope u read this soon enuf para magawan ng paraan if you want to buy the notebook. Just let me know if you need my BPI acct number or address here. muah!

pounding heart!

When i opened my email, i got a message from ECFMG telling me that my Step CS exam result was ready. Teng was asleep already and i just got off skype. Ielle was busy preparing for her fun trip with you and iola. I clicked on the link and i had to pause for a moment. My heart was pounding so bad i could feel the pulse up to my abdomen. Throat was super dry and all i could do was take shallow breaths. In that moment i hoped i'd always remember the feeling so i could call it up whenever i'm studying for the other steps. The dread. All these people standing in faith for me, praying. Whenever i pray for the result, i keep asking God for a favorable result more for the sake of those who prayed. I could handle failing if it was just me knowing but breaking it to the people who supprt you, ay, how i dread! I clicked on the link and closed my eyes. When i finally looked, the page contained explanations about the exam which i barely skimmed through and there at the bottom of the page were 4 boxes with the precious words PASS PASS PASS PASS. For every criteria that needs to be passed inorder to pass the Clinical Skills exam. I woke up teng with trembling hands.

Thank you for praying for me and for supporting me all the way. Even though you were the first person who said there was a difference in me when i told you how the exam went, i still knew i wasn't able to do my best thus everytime people asked how the exam went, i couldn't look them in the eye, i just mumble, we'll know by April. Apart from the grace of God and His intervention due to the weight of my prayer warriors, failure was what i expected. I hoped, deeply hoped to pass but my heart knew i didn't deserve it. Still the love and strength of God supercedes my shortcomings. Praises! Praises! Gratefulness! Joy!
