Nickelback Concert

My sister bought us a concert ticket of Nickelback. I love Nickelback since way back when. I particularly like their “FarAway” song. It became my theme song to JLC when we were still separated – he was still in Florida. So when I learned that they bought us a ticket, I got really ecstatic. I didn’t care that it was just a minor concert as long as I can hear Nickelback sing live!
The time was 7 pm and the venue was at MGM Grand Arena, where Pacquiao-Hatton fight took place. We left the house at 6. We braved the traffic congestion. There were a lot of cars going to the humongous parking lot of MGM. I wondered why, perhaps these people were heading to the casino. It took us one hour to get a parking space.
When we got to the venue, there were thousands of people already. Waa! It wasn’t a minor concert then. We found our seats and we were so happy to find out that we were near the stage. I could imagine seeing and smelling the sweat (lolz) of the band members. Para maniwala kayo, tingnan niyo… Read more
Ang Biyahe Para Kay Mama

We went to Vegas to visit my mom, my sister, my bro-in-law and my very cute nephew last weekend. It was actually for my Mom. She’s really homesick and we really want her to stay. She wants to go back to the Philippines. Namimiss na daw niya ang kanyang mga alagang baboy doon. Kung pwede lang, gagawan namin siya ng piggery sa bakuran ng bahay ng ate ko. We are hoping that she’s going to adapt the life here in the US na hindi ka pwedeng mangangapitbahay na basta na lang; na hindi mo kilala ang mga kapitbahay mo; na wala kang makikitang tambay sa kalye; na hindi ka puede maglakad para bumili ng suka keyna Aling Asing; na walang jeep or traysikil papuntang palengke (ni wala ngang palengke eh); at walang mga akyat-bahay gang dito kaya hindi ka dapat matakot kung mag-isa ka lang sa bahay.
We got there Friday midnight and was able to roam my Mom around Las Vegas the next two days, Saturday and Sunday. My mom is hard to please so you have to do aerobatic stuff to make her happy. Like my sister, she’s a shoe lover so I bought her a pair of hush puppies, her favorite brand. Natuwa naman siya kahit papano. Back home, she usually goes to ukay=ukay stores. Na-tour na ata niya ang lahat ng ukay-ukay sa Cebu. Wala namang ukay-ukay dito so we went to the popular thrift store, Buffalo Exchange. Natuwa ang mudra. I really like the place too. They have high-quality second-hand clothes. Ang JLC ko naman na ma-arte nasa sasakyan lang kasama ang aking cute nephew. Ito sya, natutulog. Sa awa ng Diyos, nagmana siya sa akin. Bwahaha!
May nadaanan kaming nagsoshooting. Hindi ko alam kung para saang movie yun. Wala naman kaming nakitang movie stars, ako lang. 
Happy Pills

No, I am not talking about those prescription pills that people abused in order to feel bliss. I am talking about my friend’s blog “Happy Pills”. I have forced another one to join the blogosphere republic. ~Evil laugh~ She’s one of the very few people I know personally who know the existence of this blog. I guess there’s only six of them.
Please help me welcome my friend, Regina, to the crazy world of blogosphere. We were high school buddies. She was always my cheatmate seatmate. She’s very witty, I tell you. I admire her passion for writing. She was the editor-in-chief of our high school paper back then. It has been forever since I last saw her. She went to UP for college and I went to UC. Nevertheless, we keep in touch every now and then and the topic is always about love. She’s a great a advicer. She was there when I was heartbroken with my first love. It was during our last year in high school. Ang aga ko naglandi noh? Bwahaha. She told me ” Okay lang Res, you’re too pretty for him. ” Hahaha. Di ba bongga talaga siya mag advice?
We love the same guy. Yes, nagsabunotan kami one time for him. Achos! Haha. She also loves John Lloy Cruz. Haha. Too bad for her, he’s already mine. Bwahaha. Ambisyosa!
I am no writer but this girl is. Currently, she’s working at Cebu Daily News as a lifestyle writer.
And guys out there, this beautiful lady is very very single. (*wink)
Visit her blog Here.
Random:
(1) I am sorry if I cause a stir on my last post. Let me be clear, it wasn’t meant to malign anyone. That post was not for a specific person, it was general in nature. If I have a problem with someone, I would tell it straight to her/his face. Hindi ako marunong magparinig. I am also hoping that people would do the same if they are not happy with me. I appreciate Lio for confronting me right way…that I was able to clear things up immediately.
(2) On a lighter note, I am heading to Vegas tomorrow to see my mom. She’s been really homesick. She wants to go back to the Philippines. Well, what can I do. It’s a long weekend ahead! Yay! It’s Labor Day on Monday.
Day Two With Mama

As useless, late na naman ako. Haha
Day 2, 4th of July, we went to do my ever favorite sports which is shopping! We shopped for clothes for my mom.
Back home, hilig ni mama ang UK made clothes. Tatawag yan sa akin: ‘Day, penge pambili ng ukay-ukay.’ Ito lang ang mababaw na kaligayahan niya. Minsan yung binigay kong pambili ng ukay-ukay sa kanya ay ibibigay niya pa sa mga kapatid ko. Ganito talaga si mama kahit noon. Inuuna niya kaming mga anak niya bago ang kanyang sarili. Kaya pagnagka-anak ako ten years from now, tutularan ko siya. 
Nagutom ulit, at pumunta sa Goldilocks, my favorite Filipino Restaurant in Vegas.
Pinagsisihan ko kung bakit pa kami pumunta doon. Nakita ko nalang na nagniningning ang mata ng JLC ko.Nandon pala ang kanyang ex-girlfriend. Noh, hindi si Liz Uy.
Day 1 with Mom
July 3rd.
Madami akong gustong gawin at ibigay sa aking ina. Gusto ko siyang ilibot dito sa tets. Gusto ko puntahan yung mga cities na nakikita lang niya sa movies. Gusto ko ibigay ang hilig niya – alahas. Waaaa! Mamumulubi ako nito!
So kwento ko nlng sa inyo with litraks ang Day 1 with Mom:
Of course, mauuna talaga ang kainan. We went to this new casino in Vegas called M. Kala niyo recession sa Las Vegas pero ang daming bagong casinos at ang daming tao!
We went to their buffet. It was cheaper than the very famous yet expensive buffet of Bellagio. Medyo mahaba ang linya. Pero hindi din katulad ng Bellagio na dalawang oras ka naka linya. Makakapagdiet yung mga bituka mo ng hindi oras. While waiting, hinarbat ko ang mama at dinala ko sa casino. Tinuruan ko magsugal! Bad influence na anak! Hahaha. Naloka si nanay. Takot pumindot sa slot machine. At noong nanalo na siya ng $40, ayaw ng umalis! Hahaha.
