Masterchef US Season 2

Ok, I am officially hooked in all things Masterchef! I already look forward to seeing every episodes of the second season of Masterchef US.

I didn’t like it at first because Gordon Ramsey is one of the hosts/judges. And after seeing an episode of Hell’s Kitchen, which he also hosts, I didn’t like him. Period.

But after seeing him in Masterchef, I’m beginning to grow fond of him. He is nice naman pala. Maybe his role in Hell’s Kitchen requires him to be... brutal, that’s why.

So going back to Masterchef US 2. I’ve watched it from the beginning (yeah, adik kung adik!) until the 17^th episode. And I have a little secret to share with you...

I cried when Ben was eliminated... shhhh! Let’s keep that between us, ok? But, it was really so sad. I liked his outgoing personality and funny ways pa naman. He’s very endearing. I remember when he went to the audition. He was like a human pumpkin. He was wearing an apron and a chef’s hat with pumpkin prints all over. He said his mother made it for him because she can’t be with him there. I was hopeful to see him in the finals but he didn’t make it to the top 4. I was really so sad.

So there you go... a little secret and a (not quite) new show that I wanted to share with you. 

It's All In The Attitude! ^_^

This has been hanging near our office door for years. It’s tenure in the office is probably longer than mine yet it is always taken for granted, especially by me.

In my busy hours this morning, I glanced upon this framed quotation and I had to take a second look. Aha! For someone who has been overshadowed by too much negativity these past few days, this is like a soft pat on my back telling me everything will turn out right.

So now, negative thoughts will have to stay at the backseat. I am living a positive life from now on and I’ll begin that with a smile on my face.

Yes, I am positive that someday, somehow, I'll be a grand lotto winner, just like Mr. Truck-Driver-No-More! Wehehe!

Happy Monday dear friends! ^_^ 

Amber Phonetics, Series 1

Last night, the Hubby and the little girl fetched Mommy in Trinoma since the Hubby got home from work much earlier. On our way home, Amber was in a very good mood to talk. She keeps on babbling and repeating every word we say.

It is really funny how she says some words. The Hubby told me that I should keep a journal on how she pronounces certain words and see if her future siblings will have a similar pronunciation. So instead of jotting it down on a notebook, which I’m sure I will lose eventually, I’ll just keep it here in my blog and hope that this will stick around ‘til she’s old enough to read this. 

Please bear with me na lang ha as this is actually for my and the Hubby’s personal indulgence. ^_^

W – Alulu

Diaper – Apiper

Spongebob – Babab

Dora – Lala

Kuya Miko (her cousin) – Uwa I-oh

Cousin Chloe – Asin Uwee
Water – Uter

There are a lot more but forgetfulness is clouding my memory cells at this moment. I’m sure I’ll remember more of them later so expect a series of Amber Phonetics to grace my humble everything-under-the-sun blog every so often. Thus, this being the first in the series.

A Bad Fall

My immediate superior had been in an accident. She slipped and was badly hurt that she needed to be hospitalized. They had to put a metal plate on her knee. The left leg needs to be in a cast for 4 weeks.

I can’t imagine how painful it was.

We have a very lean organization so in her absence, I have to cover most of her jobs. I will have to answer customer concerns and do supplier coordination on top of the accounts that I am already handling. Whew! I can already see how busy this month would be for me. That would also mean that I can’t leave the office as early as I used to.

Anyhow, I wouldn’t mind doing an extra work. It was an accident and nobody would ever want to be in that situation. 

I just hope for her to recover fast and well.

Take care everybody. Always, always be safe! 

Enter the 'BER' Months!

It’s the first day of September!

We all know that here in my beloved Philippines, Christmas season kicks off once the month that ends in ‘BER’ begins (err, labo ata ng costruction ko? ^_^). Because of that, we celebrate Christmas the longest. ^_^

I look forward to this season... I love the smell of Christmas in the air... Everybody seems nicer... The Christmas jingles are so uplifting... The mood everywhere is so festive!

Just like the past years, I promise to make my Christmas list and shopping early to avoid the rush. And like every year, I always fail to finish the list on time. I hope I can finally keep up to this promise this year... hopefully finally! Fingers crossed. ^_^

Ho! Ho! Ho!
