hit me with your best shot

that's the one song that played on wii's guitaro/rio? today.

weekend was exhausting!

today, we had nfl and wii weekend. shana, the network training manager from the client's side drove us to puyallap, another city that's almost adjacent to tacoma. i love the downtown area is cuz it is a bit old school and rustic and the road to the suburbs is breath-taking! this country is just beautiful. and we drove past thru a railroad cuz we were waiting for the train to get thru so we can get thru.

i got to play boxing against the general manager's lovely wife(who btw is a filipina who's born and raised here)and won. i lost the game to josh. haha. then played bowling, then mario brothers- the wii version with the kids, gabby and ryan.

and did some baby sitting for chera's baby. ohhhhhhhhh gawd, baby envy is honestly killing me now.

a mixture of rain and snow poured today too. but, it just stopped.

ohhhhhh man, i am sooooo full. food was great. there are all sorts of salads, veggie sticks, sodas, coffee, burgers, hotdogs, ham sandwiches, all sorts of chip, pretzels, dips, cookies, cheesecake, cocktails. grovers.

and we'd never had to wait for the food. cuz it's just there.

i had fun. and i'm like soooo in touch with my "nurturing skills" cuz i had spent most of my time with the kids. hehe.

seattle yesterday. before i got my bum all drunk, we were up early and visited seattle with arabella, who is one of the kewlest people here. she patiently played tour guide and props to her cuz we got to see pike's place market, the first ever starbucks in the world-jammed and too small, places that sold just soaps, lavender everything, vintage mags, all sorts of curiosities, at touristy prices. so i did not get any souvenirs cuz they're pricey.

we had brunch at a restaurant where one had to really wait til they get seated. ;p i forgot the name of the resto, but, it has a pretty good view of the harbor at pike's.

then we went to seattle aquarium. i love it there. but, nothing can top the northwest trek experience.

we had "lunch" at krispy kremes and saw how they made their doughnuts. met a filipino family who seemed excited to see us. and a nice couple lemme hold there 1 year old. ;p

then we had ppl over at the hotel for chips/booze/dinner. sam/arabella/dowanna showed up. i had the most fun i could ever have cuz i know back home, i wouldn't want to go drinking. the hang over is not a happy thing to have.

i woke up sooooo hung over and had to take a couplah aspirin. and i still had to make pasta or the pasta sauce for the nfl sunday.

God has been soooo good to my family. i am happy we will have a tiny tiny bundle of joy the last quarter of the year. i know, this is supposed to be a secret. i am elated.

and one day soon, i know we will have just one city. and my whole family will be together. at times it sucks to be allover the country.

i am sooo ready to be home. and yeah, i got a baby penguin from judy, the manager's wife. it's the nicest gift i had sooo far.. cuz you can plug an mp3 to it and it will serve as a speaker. kewlness.

will upload 1 million photos.

muchlove,
