Some Fun Time with my Tito | Ting Yap Photographs

Tito Ting and I had tons of fun together. He is my favorite uncle and the one I spend most of my time with.

Ting Yap is one of the professional photographers who features in the print & Club Alchology so it was a real treat to find an email from him in my inbox announcing how beautiful the shots he took were and of course, the difference between a photoshopped image and whatnot.. Tito Ting is originally from Ormoc City, Leyte but is now based in Cebu City, Cebu and is getting more clients compared from the moment he started the business. 

Here are quite a few shots I'd like to brag about:








I can't explain why I look so happy with this particular shoot but I'm sure you get it well. The more I talk about it, the less I do control. Can't understand a word, half of the stuff I'm sayin blah! 

Anyway you can check Tito Ting on Facebook for scheduled pictorial or you may click below.


Have a great week everyone!

15. Falling in love with someone you didn't mean to fall in love with

16. Finding the perfect guy/girl...with only one problem- he/she doesn't love you...the way you want him/her to...

30. Breaking someone's heart

31.Fighting for that one thing that would make you happy that is, holding on to a person who can not guarantee you is/her commitment unless he/she fix himself/herself. ..then, you are left hanging for the moment...then he/she says, time will tell... ang labo lang niya...but you still decided to hope in him/her and trust him/her

I Got No Time by The Dirty Heads | Music Video & Lyrics



Can't get enough of The Dirty Heads? Check out this one song!






I got no time for ya'll, we got to keep movin yea.
Move on move on from here, ya
I got no time for yall we got to keep movin yea
I got to move on move on from here

I'm droppin beats nice and mellow, meet ya I say hello
Jump on the microphone I got the fellas sayin well a
Damn, yo this boy come shockin and no I dont stop until I'm done rockin, so
Ya just sit back and relax for a bit I'll spit my shit then I quit
Like the bizz then I rip it.
Im high as can be, the true Dutty B and all can see we comin irie, yea, yea 
Yea irie 

Im on a stag, my booze up on the very highest shelf
Yo stay true to my friends and get wise with myself
Cause I'm impaired with the spare and all you sucka MCs
So be yourself and flow it easy keep it tight like dungarees 
And grab this cheese like cheddar, drop the fake act.
And grab these beats they be better cause I be breakin fools 
With molecules and lots a juice the neck of the noose I'm lettin it lose yo
When you turn purple get out my circle if you got that shit that be commercial 
Cause I found ya sound just be the other way around 
Ya tryin to be underground but your floatin on the surface 
With no purpose in your verses, drop the mic so you can jerk it.
Can it be the MC rockin under canopies, insanity is banning me from rappin 
Independently and sending me to penitentiaries offensively
Cause I love music, I chose it dont abuse it never lose it when I bruise it
So dont be livin to shoot when you know your gonna miss
Ya say you get more pussy than a gynecologist 
I know you would be lonley if it wasn't for your fist
Ya asked me how I got dope I said lots of prac-a-prac-a-tice

I got no time for y'all, we got to keep movin yea
Move on move on from here, ya
I got no time for yall we got to keep movin yea
I got to move on move on from here

Well buenos noches steppin on fools like cockroaches
I be callin plays like some fuckin football coaches
Fallin asleep because I know your shit is boring
Cut you so hard ya straight up need some neosporin 
Said I'm raining on your head because yo my shit is pourin
Ya eyes get dilated cause all your hits is faded 
I need to be sedated like my main man Dutty B,
Sick to your stomach when ya find an ill MC
With the symphony the illest infantry drops ya down for the century 
The illest penalty said I know I'm hard to see I kill myself but leave my entity 
But jump up off a track like a cricket make it Jiminey
Original cynical head bob, four star general
I find my with my tentacle, my rhyme style's identical to none
Ya bite me end up like ya grandfather straight chewin with ya gums
Its the DJ selector comin hard on the record with the effort full effect
DJ science break your neck when tounges twist syllables trick our lips to make hits
Never leave unfulfilled like a hooker with one tit, a group with one hit,
Gettin loose off one sip, we the sunshine MC's so I think ya best a quit
Yes I think its time to quit
Yo you know you best a quit
Yes I think its time to quit yo

I got no time for y'all, we got to keep movin yea
Move on move on from here, ya
I got no time for yall we got to keep movin yea
I got to move on move on from here

My Restday in Ormoc

Boast as much as I want! I love my family so much!



A typical day off for a Mother slash Customer Service Representative.



 See how adorable they are? So lucky to have these three..



One whole Hawaiian Pizza for the graduation boy with honors! So proud of you, Kuya!



Usually on days off, I don't leave the house - I just spend the entire time taking care of what I have.. And that's my small family. This is because I want to make real use of my day off since I know for certain how irresponsible I had been.


I could have said yes to my friends' invites, but I chose not to. I preferred to see the people I love!


That's us with our grandparents, Chato & Narding.

How do you spend your time off?

James Dominic's Graduation '13










Can't believe I was able to think and act like an ADULT even if I wasn't there on my son's graduation & birthday (Don't worry mommy, tita, daditats, lola and lolo, you guys know I was at work for the whole week). I know everything happens for a reason but at some point, I realized it was taking me much longer to get through than I would have expected. Thank you so much Edwin aka Daddytatay for always being there for me and my little ones! It is rare that you will have enough patience to raise my children and somehow, you managed to do your best. Take note, WITH A SMILE! lol I'm not even sure why I mean what I say now, maybe because I really mean it? Hahaha!

Anyway congratulations to my baby boy. You know I love you, and JcLove too.

x Mama

"We Love You Mama"

"We love you mama." - these are the words every parent waits to hear! This is the message my eldest son sent me that made me cry and felt how much they needed me right now. Still, the need to sacrifice for our children's future comes first. *sigh*


Anyway, anybody consider Technology as a threat to our kids? Hmm. It teaches kids how to deal with things in almost every possible way. Though I didn't find it as a good example but somehow, it helps. The easiest and fastest way to communicate with people.

Fantastic 4 with Black Stone Productions Present..

Hihihihihihiihihi..

Sad to say.. This is the only picture I've got from our presentation at our workplace. You see, we got to show our talents every time we're late. In this case, we were late for 3 minutes. No exceptions! :-)


However, we did love the fact that we had to show off what we can do to our dearest trainer. WAY CHAR! Right after our shift, we had a 20-minute talk at 7 Eleven convenience store. Discussed how it will be done, while for the props, I myself made sure we would have everything ready by the night of our next shift.

So here it is:


Cast
JOUA  :  CU Princess Lu BENZ  :  Delivery Guy # 1
JO  :  CSR JJ MARK  :  Delivery Guy # 2
Plot
Customer is placing an order & Office Depot employees are taking care of her business up to the package delivery.
Act 1
Joua calls Office Depot customer service department and wants to place an order. Agent JJ answers the call of course, follows the proper call flow and assists the customer's needs.

Worklife # __________________  PO #  __________________________
 *INTERMISSION NUMBER *
     Mark & Benz
Act 2
Mark & Benz continue to dance whilst driving around town searching for Princess Lu's house. 
Suddenly..
There's a K-N-O-C-K on the front door at Lu's Residence. Princess opens the door, and Benz asks for Princess Lu. They had a small conversation regarding the package. Benz confirms the order and let Joua sign the form  which states that she already has the full order she wants.
Mark then flashes the Office Depot hotline and informs the customer, Joua, that if she has any concerns about the package, she can freely call our toll free hotline.
 *INTERMISSION NUMBER *
      Fantastic 4

THAT'S THE END.

By : Your 4 lovely trainees. Thanks for understanding and we'll try our best not to be late again. Even for another 3 minutes, Renan  :-)


A screenshot of the actual script:



Thank you so much Team Fantastic 4 with Black Stone Productions.. Without the four of us, Renan wouldn't know that the package of "good music + teamwork" is what keeps Fantastic 4  less boring. Because we know we surprised him for that lovely and educational presentation. Pakpak!


Of course, I would not dare to forget to congratulate the person who sacrificed hours of sleep just to make sure everything was intact. I know I don't need to boast, but I know I deserve to be awarded... By myself. Ha ha ha!

DC Baby | Come On, Get Happy!


Love Marie has always been an energetic baby, she rarely sits still.. It's really exhausting. We do something quite different in our households. She seems to get excited by a bath and bedtime so we really ramp it up. Loads of  fun and lasts for about 15 mins.

She goes crazy if I hug one of her older brothers during bedtime. Chase each other crawling on the bed or floor, screaming and laughing. While after a milk drink and stories, falls asleep easily. I have a strange daughter. And that's what I love about her.

For JdJcLove


Yesterday, before my daughter was fetched by her grandma from the South, I kept holding on to a thought that reminded me of this particular blog I made last year. (http://jdjclovejo.blogspot.com/2012/05/junk-food-so-good.html)

We were at 7 Eleven having snacks then when my little Marie got so excited about seeing one junk food I bought, and look why I'm stressed out right now! 

I remember how my 3 babies begged for this since I really do not want them eating junk. Am I that strict? Sometimes I pity myself because the happiness they get from eating whatever they want is limited. Or.. Is it? Kani way char. 

Geez I really feel old right now.

As a parent I have to be prepared of course since I would not do anything to harm them.

Anyway, I do understand my reasons but I admit that I can't stop blaming myself  every time I see them envy other children's acts. Oh well, I can not stop them from growing so the least I can do is to offer them what's "bawal" or what's not good for you oftentimes just for experience.  NOT TOO MUCH OKAY.

Two Days Without You


'Twas Sunday this week since I last saw you and hugged you. I can't believe I survived one more day being apart from you Love Marie. You're my only remedy from missing your two brothers so much!!

But.. Like all mothers do, I have to sacrifice for our own good!

We don't have a nanny yet so your father and I let your grandparents watch over you for a couple of days because we need to be at work. I really wasn't sure if I'd take the job offer because I hate being away from you however, this company is somewhat similar to my previous job & also, both of us were lucky to have been chosen to be in the same account! It's a big company that has many different accounts, that's why.

I love you and JDJC!

Shoe Shopping


Shoe shopping -- anyone interested?  

I bet you are!  


There I was with my baby girl, shoe shopping one afternoon at a local department store. 


It is always so hard for me to find perfect shoes, then once Love Marie finds a pair I love, they stay with me until I make up my mind on what to purchase.


Baby Love did go through many shoes like nobody's business.


I usually follow certain rules when shoe shopping, though I do have quite a few pair that do not meet the last tip LOL but my baby sometimes do all the work, she chooses the best design then I decide. Of course!


After countless hours of walking around, choosing the perfect shoe for Mama, she found herself sitting down next to Teddy (a Christmas present from her Papa).


Last Night Out


Don't all moms need a little pampering? I think so!


Here we are at "somewhere out there" trying to reunite because it's been 2 years (or more) since we've last seen each other. Good thing Sunday finally came around and 'twas just the night we were craving for! 


3 Reasons why moms need a girls night out:

 1. We love our kids even after they have cried, screamed and colored all over favorite dress with a permanent marker. We would like to keep it that way.
2. Mothers have lives outside chores and dinner making. Because ever since becoming a mom, your social calendar probably has more playdates than date nights and girls' nights.
3. Leaving the house long enough to gain a little bit of perspective puts most women into a friendly, hey honey should I slip into something more comfortable state of mind.


At the end of the time away from our family there is nowhere a mom would rather be than home. We are not really so different from that sailor that has left her ship. That's what matters most.



AMH Asylum: Sister Mary Eunice

Check out my newest favorite actress! From the series American Horror Story Asylum (season 2). 


Her name is Lily Rabe and yes, that's me beside her.

Actually I'm not really interested in her personal life. What I was researching were her movies because her role in AMH Asylum made me so curious about her other roles. LOL.


Yeah you got that right, I did watch every scene from the movies listed above and made comparisons from her roles and the way she looked before.


Anyways, here are a few scenes from season 2 of AMH Asylum:




Want me to share what really made this lady interesting? 'Cause she looks like my dad's girlfriend (sorry don't wanna call her my "stepmom")! Oh no.. Hard to accept that fact! Yesss it's quite intriguing alright. But I don't wanna post her photo here. 





Since most of you readers haven't heard about the series, a quick info -- American Horror Story (2011-) is a horror-drama television series, airing on FX, created and produced by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. Described as an anthology series, each season is conceived as a self-contained miniseries, following a disparate set of characters and settings, and a storyline with its own "beginning, middle and end."

Just can't get enough! Here's one last photo!


Mama loves you, and only you three..
