Stuck With You by Huey Lewis and the News

Yes, I'm stuck with this song in the 80's.... but i really love Huey Lewis.


Weve had some fun, and yes weve had our ups and downs
Been down that rocky road, but here we are, still around
We thought about someone else, but neither one took the bait
We thought about breaking up, but now we know its much too late
We are bound by all the rest
Like the same phone number
All the same friends
And the same address

Yes, its true, (yes its true) I am happy to be stuck with you
Yes, its true, (yes its true) Im so happy to be stuck with you
cause I can see, (I can see) that youre happy to be stuck with me

Weve had our doubts, we never took them seriously
And weve had our ins and outs, but thats the way its supposed to be
We thought about giving up, but we could never stay away
Thought about breaking up, but now we know its much too late
And its no great mystery
If we change our minds
Eventually, its back to you and me

Yes, its true, (yes its true) I am happy to be stuck with you
Yes, its true, (yes its true) Im so happy to be stuck with you
cause I can see, (I can see) that youre happy to be stuck with me

We are bound by all the rest
Like the same phone number
All the same friends
And the same address

Yes, its true, (yes its true) I am happy to be stuck with you
Yes, its true, (yes its true) Im so happy to be stuck with you
cause I can see, (I can see) that youre happy to be stuck with me
(yes its true) Im so happy to be stuck with you
Im happy to be stuck with you
Happy to be stuck with you.

New Office Phone

Our office is now on the process of installing new phone units that has a Caller Identification mechanism on it. It has started last month & unfortunately our department is the last on the list. This will be very useful for me since I get to deal with lot of suppliers... our creative agency, media planner, promo item suppliers & our field men. I know this is not a new thing and a lot of companies, even residential phones has this thing. It also have this call-you-back function that will make me not miss call, especially important ones. I wish I have one already in time for all the preparation for the event. Oh, well, I'll have one soon.

Big Day Tomorrow

We will be staging an event tomorrow! Actually I just got home because of the last minute preparation. Ingress or stage set up will start at 12 midnight. But I begged off to be part of that cause I still have errands to do first thing in the morning tomorrow. This is an international event. First part will be the serious part & it will be capped by an entertainment night. We got popular celebrities to grace the night & the drama that the production agency has spun has really put pressure on us because what will be crucial is the aftermath of this event. Naturally, expenses that has been poured in staging this must turn into sales. And that's that hardest part. Well, I really hoped that all our overtime will be worth it. Wish me luck!

Look Who's Calling

Everybody practically has a cellphone. That is a fact. Many even have 2 phones. One for business or official & the other is for personal, intended for long calls. Have you ever looked into your phone book recently? I bet it bears contact number that has been saved there for ages. That goes for me. I was so amazed when I learned that there is actually a Nationwide Phone Lookup that can help us look for phone number in any countries you like. This is what 50 State Phone Look Up offers. There's this what you call reverse phone search directory where in you can trace prank calls, missed calls of unlisted numbers & even a search on a long lost friend. Its listing consist of the complete address, so you can even have the address of the person you wish to locate and not just the phone number. Very cool & really helpful. Let's try this out!!!

Birthday Invitation

Here's the invitation design for Neo's first birthday.... Venue is not yet final. If YOU are reading this and you have a suggestion, please leave a note....

Packing for Tagaytay Trip

I'll be off to Tagaytay this coming Monday. I wish it was a leisure trip. But the 3 day stay at Taal Vista Lodge is our year 2009 Strategic Brand Planning. This is the reason why I have not been logging into blogger.com lately. It's true that work really drags one's social life. heheheh.

I've decided to pack early and not do my usual "night before" packing ritual. This is because I hate to leave anything this time. Everytime I'm preparing for an out of town trip, always, never miss that I forgot something, be it a brush, lotion, contact lens solution...

And also, packing up early will save me some time for cramming. Yes, I'm planning to cram tomorrow. hahahaha. I have lots of things to do tomorrow besides finishing my presentation. I'll be preparing 3 presentations for Tuesday & Wednesday. Tomorrow, I plan to have a massage, manicure & pedicure while my car is being washed to save on waiting time, I'll drop our laundry, go to mass, a little blogging and finish my presentations.

I really hope I can pull this one this time. Oh, wait, I still got Monday night to finally finish them all!!

Preps for Neo's First Birthday

I was so surprised to find out that I have not posted a blog about my one and only nephew Neo! So, I'm taking this time to post something about him. He'll be turning one this November! My sister is planning for the bday celebration but until now, she has not yet reserved a venue yet. She has crossed out several options, not just on the venue but on the party theme too. I can remember the first one she' contempating is Baby Einstein. But ended up with the idea of not getting a character theme... and came up with ... NEO is ONE. To help out with the preps, I invited our company graphic artist at our apartment to design the invitation. This master design will be used in the cake. We will be designing unique shirts that Neo will wear during his party... shirt prints like: I am 1 and "Birthday ko Ngayon". Still, we are still brainstorming for the souvenir...

Still, I can't post a picture of Neo. I don't keep photo files in my lap top kasi. But I promise, I'll post pictures of his birthday party : )

Europe trip... only in my dreams...

My officemate just got from a Europe trip. It has always been my dream to travel to Europe. Yes, Ive been to US (Ohio, Iowa, LA), Asian countries, but have not yet set foot in Europe. When I saw her pictures collated for a month, I said to myself that I'll definitely plan my trip in the very near future.

What I'm looking forward is that I get to relax for a month (definitely, a trip to Europe must be at least 1 month). Hope I can save all the money I need for shopping. I've been thinking of pampering myself by getting a booking in one of the elusive Rome Hotels. Wow, It's like in the movies! Or maybe, 2 nights reservation in Hotel Florence. I have imagined what the hotels would look like because I see a lot of movies & read a lot of books. I really would like to experience waking up in another country but will not go to work but a full day of sight- seeing, picture taking, window shopping & of course, shopping. I'm fond of collecting souvenirs from all the places I've been to.

This is still a dream. A dream that is possible. A dream close to reality. All I have to do is have the money (yaiks), the time (double yaiks, getting a 1 month leave is difficult). Well, theres no harm in dreaming. And I know I can pull this one. Hehehe, positive thinking... I have to condition myself that in anything I do I will be thinking that part of it will be for my trip. Wow, I can't help not imagining my self getting a booking online in Bed and breakfast Paris.

Time is up!!! back to work!

Way Back Into Love

Hello blog world! Whew, been into oblivion because of tons of work. Ive been talking about work for one month now & Im missing blogging. But because I have no exciting news to share, I just dropped by to post the lyrics of one of the songs in Music & Lyrics (stars: Hugh Grant & Drew Barrymore) which I watched for the second time during one of my break from work....

I've been living with a shadow overhead

I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed

I've been lonely for so long

Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on
I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away

Just in case I ever need em again someday

I've been setting aside time

To clear a little space in the corners of my mind

All I want to do is find a way back into love

I can't make it through without a way back into loveOh oh oh
I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine

I've been searching but I just don't see the signs

I know that it's out thereThere's got to be something for my soul somewhere
I've been looking for someone to shed some light

Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction

And I'm open to your suggestions
All I want to do is find a way back into love

I can't make it through without a way back into love

And if I open my heart againI guess

I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the endoh, oh, oh, oh, oh
There are moments when

I don't know if it's realOr if anybody feels the way I feelI need inspiration

Not just another negotiation
All I want to do is find a way back into love

I can't make it through without a way back into love

And if I open my heart to youI'm hoping you'll show me what to do

And if you help me to start again

You know that I'll be there for you in the endoh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Very nice, noh.... You get to appreciate a movie if watched twice... well, that goes for me...

Getting a Car Loan On-line

It's true that you can get all information you wanted on-line. I€ know not everybody can afford to buy a lap top or a desk top computer but you would agree with me that having one is a heaven. I was in a situation just recently where in surfing is the only answer at the moment.

It was when my uncle, who now will settle here in the Philippines after almost 37 years in Louiseville, Kentucky asked me on how & where can he get New Car Loans. He and my aunt will be moving back here in the Philippines to retire. They will definitely need to have a car because they will be settling in Batangas city ( my uncles hometown). And of course, they will be exploring other provinces here & visit also my aunts hometown in Pampanga. With the escalating oil prices nowadays, getting a car loan is a good idea.

I have no idea, whatsoever in getting a car loan. As of now, its not in my priority list to get a personal car since my current employer provides service vehicle, and the gas allowance too. So, we did surf on New Car Loans & I'm not surprised that everything you need to know about car loans are intricately described. I downloaded information for my uncle to read & review. I learned that you can even get a loan even for second hand car.

Well, I hope they can now decide what car to buy.

My PR is back!

Wow, its just a matter of minutes and my PR1 is back!... I dont know exactly what happened!

Page Rank No mOre!!!

Too bad, I lost mg PR 1!!! This is maybe because I seldom visit my blog, my friends blog & blog roll & less entries! yaiks! So that's how it goes! I thought it wont go down na ever... hahahaha... Well, thats the price to pay for not regularly doing blog rounds! I really hope I can bring it back!

"Ber" Fever!

The first week of the "ber" months is almost done! The Paskong Pinoy (longest holiday ever) is lurking around the corner. Actually, i have not realized it just when I heard "Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas" in my car radio last night when Im driving home. I really love Christmas. Well, actually the months & the days before Dec 25. I love the mood in malls and thinking of all the holiday sale in the offing. I really love to shop for gifts!!! I love xmas bazaars & tyangges! I also have this feeling that everybody is in the xmas mode. Office parties, family parties, wow! And of course, no work!, bonus & holiday pay!

Gotta get my xmas CDs playing!!!!
