Right Place Right Time

So I got the title of this blog from my favorite television series How I Met Your Mother (season 4 - episode 22). I really love Neil Patrick Harris' role here. Ha ha!

And.. I didn't realize there are many songs entitled "Right Place Right Time" til today. Oh yes you better believe it! 

Anyhoo, I'm now showing you my 4th tattoo from my wrist. What do you think, a yay or nay?

Got inked to cover my unbearably awful scar from years ago.

Angels Cry by Mariah Carey | Music Video & Lyrics

Hoping to get the perfect quote from one of Mariah Carey's songs, need it for THE couple tattoo we're getting. Excited! ♥

Mariah:

I shouldn't have walked away

I would've stayed if you said

We could've made everything OK

But we just

Threw the blame back and forth

We treated love like a sport

The final blow hit so low

I'm still on the ground

I couldn't have prepared myself for this fall

Shattered in pieces curled on the floor

Super natural love conquers all

'Member we used to touch the sky

And

Lightning don't strike

The same place twice

When you and I said goodbye

I felt the angels cry

True love's a gift

We let it drift

In a storm

Every night

I feel the angels cry

C'mon babe can't our love be revived

Bring it back and we gon' make it right

I'm on the edge just tryin' to survive

As the angels cry

Ne-Yo:

I thought we'd be forever and always

You were serenity

You took away the bad days

Didn't always treat you right

But it was OK

I do somethin' stupid

And you still stay with me

But you can only go for so long

Doing the one you claim to love wrong

Before too much is enough

You look up

Find your love gone

And

We were so good together

How come we could not weather

This storm and just do better

Why did we say goodbye

'Cause lightning don't strike

The same place twice

When you and I said goodbye

I felt the angels cry

True love's a gift

We let it drift

In a storm

Now every night

I feel the angels cry

Mariah & Ne-Yo:

C'mon babe can't our love be revived

Bring it back and we gon' make it right

I'm on the edge just tryin' to survive

As the angels cry

Baby I'm missin' you

Don't allow love to lose

We gotta ride it through

I'm reaching for you

Baby I'm missin' you

Don't allow love to lose

We gotta ride it

I'm reaching for you

And im gonna say

Lightning don't strike

The same place twice

When you and I said goodbye

I felt the angels cry

True love's a gift

But we let it slip

In a storm

Every night

I feel the angels cry

Oh babe, the angels cry

We're Not From Here

Welcome to Newtown Estate, Pardo Cebu.

I'm just happy my kids are happy.

1 Dress Many Ways

Just thought I'd give you a heads up. Adult or not, there are many ways to wear a dress. I really like styling the same dress my girl wears. Sorry not a professional stylist though. You can go from classy to sporty, sporty to chick, chick to outgoing, outgoing to childish, childish to romantic, romantic to materialistic and many more.

Have you ever tried to see how many different styles you can make with one dress?

They Call Me "Jo"

I figured, this is my blog so I have to say something about myself. 

I don't take things for granted anymore.

So I kind of want to write some more facts but I can't for I don't know where to start and how to end it. Okay let's give it another try. 

This year had been tough, full of lessons learned and finally realizing (yeah realizing!) I'm an adult. I may not always succeed, but I like to think I have some idea of making myself worthy. For some reason it was always making other people enjoy the moments.. Making memories, having fun & the so-called "living the life". Whatever!

Anyway, I'm very passionate when it comes to kids. Not because I already have kids. As far as I remember, since I was in my elementary years I sort of feel like a mother to my schoolmates. Or maybe it was because I get to be the teacher's favorite.. I don't care, it was awesome!

Moving on, there are a few things I really want to do while I am still a walking stick. For one, those other things calling my attention. Here: http://jdjclovemcjo.blogspot.com/2012/09/101-things-list.html. I published the list on my blog in case the user removes it under his domain. So I tell myself if somebody can do it, why can't I? But tell you what, I've got some things I keep to myself that you are about to know!

Visit Area 51 
It’s rumored to have hosted (and could still) anything from alien remains and/or alien spacecraft, so why not find out for myself!

Watch a Movie at a Drive-In Movie Theater
Wish they have it here. So romantic

Solve a Rubik’s Cube
The most popular game of its kind that I honestly do not want to lay my hands on. LMAO

See for myself that the Earth is round
Yeah, tell me about it! 

Okay wait, can we like pause for a moment? Don't worry guys I will post a blog about the things I want to do, and you might wanna try them out too. And maybe pictures of em so it wouldn't be that boring! Ohh just imagine yourself making the impossible, "possible".

Practice Day

James' school practice day for their dance presentation on October 6th, Naga fiesta. While at it, he was with his friend eating kwek-kwek. Just don't wanna eat the coating (flour & food coloring) of the food.

Went to seek apartments right after the practice & had 2 cheeseburgers each. Ha ha!

Hanging Out

I was hanging out in the school library watching Source Code and chewing gum whilst waiting for Pauline to come back from class. But tell you what, my heart's beat was getting faster by the minute Pau left me alone and brought JC with her to her class. Nobody knew me and they said outsiders aren't allowed, well.. Kevz! Ha ha ha. Our excuse was that I was a part of the alumni community way back, and good thing almost everyone who worked there were very nice.

Meeting some new friends at the library was so fun, however this one guy scared my baby boy a little! I don't know, maybe because he was a big guy.. Or maybe 'coz he has a funny face.. Hi hi hi hi.

I'm glad I was able to enjoy my stay to simply be together but not really talk to each other especially when there are cameras everywhere. Girls just looooove taking pictures!

My Begging Boys

One quiet morning, just sitting in the sun and waiting for a treat. 

What is really interesting about these two little beggars is that they have1 tiny piece of biscuit, which they cheerfully shared.

Most beggars request money, but may also ask for cigarettes and booze. 

But not these two! I'd be horrified if they do! 

Truth is, one weekend these boys got excited for a quick pictorial. 'Twas an easy job for me and them since they like messing with their faces.

My good looking begging boys.

Simple Yet Cute

This is my Marie's church outfit. 

So I started my day doing our 1-week laundry after a quick bath and breakfast  (2 pieces of pan de sal & egg). And of course it's a Sunday, CHURCH DAY!  Again, I found myself staring at my baby girl's closet to find something she could wear to church. I knew I would find something fresh! It's never too early to turn your precious ones into a superstar with a simple yet cute outfit! A little silver, white, and purple goes a long way.

What do you ladies usually dress your daughters for church?

MIGHT AS WELL!!

I have one cousin who loves to pose in front of the camera anytime, anywhere! We call her "Tisay" (a Visayan term - since she has white complexion), real name is Mary Grace. Tisay is used to sharing her pictures with social networks and online communities, and sometimes has the funniest gestures from all over the internet. 

Incredible eyes as you can see, it fancies me how she changes from horizontal to vertical to back again, and especially her love of cameras! Fone camera, digital camera, web camera YOU NAME IT!! Like me, she wants to preserve memories. He he!! 

Oh don't mind our grandmother, she didn't want any close ups that day!
