Onward and Upward

... over in MS, surprisingly, there were more stuff we ended up doing. we did a little shopping at their outlet mall. [yeah, they actually have an outlet]. i bought hubby a fleece sweater, i bought some new socks and matching bowling boxer shorts. [i've always liked boxers]. i got there with dad around 6ish of friday and we had dinner at chili's -again. it was alright. oh, no, that's not right. we had sinigang and fried fish for dinner friday night then saturday night, we shopped then had dinner at chili's. shopped at the outlet mall then went to the edgewater mall, which was pretty much a survivor mall, it was at the beach. very near the beach. i bought a MAC lip liner at belk there. we spent most of friday night resting. before the trip going there, dad and i left almost 10 in the morning, i slept around 3 that morning. so obviously, no driving for me. so friday night, we just rested in the rooms after dinner. i woke up saturday morning with my husband [happy happy!], another wake up call. all tired after that long saturday. next morning, sunday morning, oh another wake up call! all good! sunday, we heard mass at the base then lunch at [supposedly outback] but ended up at ruby tuesdays. cheesecake was disappointing. oh well. then back to the mall. i exchaged my lip liner from the day before with a better shade. thanks to my ever patient hubby for putting up with my color issues. we left hubby a little past 6 over there. the dreaded cycle again. goodbye, see you soon.

and by the way, hubby's first assignment? m o n t a n a
i'm not too excited about the cold weather with snow and what not. well, we're moving there this june if everything goes well. oh my gosh.. m-o-n-t-a-n-a. what's in montana...?? good thing, the silver lining... everyday life with hubby. that's what i am most excited about. iloveyoubebe!

so how was your valentine's day?

mine was extraordinarily.. light. let's rewind to monday. it was my first ay at work at watson. gosh, it surprised me how much i missed the corporate life , it wasnt as big as the corporate life i once fell in love with but it was close enough. after almost 5 months of freedom from real estate, i found myself yet again putting up with the same business. but for some reason, this job seems more.. enjoyable compared to my experience with ms. hot and cold, if you still remember her. so cheers to this job that giving me a new environment at least. i like it. =) first off, there's more reason to dress better. . BUT NOW, it's a reason enough. i guess it goes to say that first love never dies. my love for heels that is. i thought i lost that fondness with those shoes that most girls wouldn't want to wear for 5 hours straight, those shoes that would want you to curse having to deal with looking presentable for work at least. but man, as long as it looks good, i can deal with the pain. i realized, comfort isnt my priority. well, unless it's already killing me, then that's a different story. so, yeah, my first love, high heels , never died. i thought it did when i started indulging with flats and slippers, but it never died. it had been patient inside me, waiting to have its turn again. so yay, for the nice carpeted floor at work, and of course.. high heels. =)

so valentine's day, i was at work in the morning then i met up with the parentals at olive garden. i realized i missed them. i guess that automatic "let's meet up" days may have to put on hold for now. oh, they actually visited me at work, on my 2nd day, geesh. not everyone knew who abigail was. but oh well, thought that was sweet. they got me RL perfume, a heart-shaped box of chocolates and a little something from victoria's secret for valentine's. it was really nice of them. although i've been putting the perfume to a test if it seems a little too flowery for me. so far, all the other people i've asked said it smelled good and not too old. so, yeah, i guss it's a keeper. after lunch, i went to get them a gift card from Roy's. that would be my and joseph's gift for them. then i went to Avenue's Mall. on valentine's day. i finally bought that GAP jeans i wanted. i thought enough about it. emotional spender. around 8.30, i hit me that i had to leave, i've been there since i think 6ish. i'm never bored in a mall. i guess i found some comfort there while my husband is 500 miles away from me. i was alone yes, but i wasn't lonely. i'm in love! going home, hubby was surprised i was just leaving the mall past 8.30. by the way, while looking around, i found a nice pair at aldo and nine west, lip liner at MAC, a skirt at express and well, there was another pair of jeans at GAP. going back, i went to the parentals' house to give them our gift. i had to make a quick stop at walgreens to get them a card.

shoot, after lunch i had a pap. freakin first time. violation thrice! and i might have a surgery on my back. freakin scar tissue!

so yeah, i was the parentals', had dinner then left for home. we're going MS this weekend. iloveyoubebe! when i got home, there was this huge box sitting at the front door inside the house. my sister took it in. hubby was on the phone. i opened it.. LONG STEMMED FLOWERS! lillies and red roses! how sweet is that. there's 13 roses and 10 lillies. thank you bebe! i didn't think you were actually going to send me flowers. it is very sweet of him. awww.. yeah, i don't like cheesy endings in movie, but i'm still a little cheesy on flowers. valentines.. first time as married, was sweet. of course, it would have been wayyy better if we were together. im pretty sure next year. =)

with all that said.. Spread the love.

iloveyoubebe!

i dont understand why my previous post is missing.. oh well..

i just got back from a visit to Hubby in MS over the weekend. it was great, well, it is great to see him and all that. this time, mom came with. so that made ravvy more bulked up and trip livelier - in a way that is. so yeah, we ended up leaving jax around 2 in the morning of saturday. we got there around 10.30ish. we picked him up and headed to the hotel. we all played that mind teaser game hubby got from school and ate brunch there. after some puzzle solving, we went to their survivor mall. nothing much in there, just those all glittery fish scales. after some walking around, we went to the casino, isle of capri. it was alright thinking how bad the hurricane was over there. a lot of people. we played just one thing, the slot machine, which can bore you to death. just pressing the same button. it was my first time in a real casino, well gambling isnt really my thing. and im glad i've gone with hubby. just thinking about how dirty [like how many strange fingers touched those machines] the casino is plus the smoke pulled the excitement down. but oh well, it's still alright, i was with hubby! then dinner was at the buffet area in the casino. for the most part, i was eating meat. i loved the oysters. i was also wearing a blinding shirt that i might, just might wear once in this lifetime. after dinner and i few looking around, we headed back to the hotel. parentals would have gone to wal-mart as dad assured us but mom said she was too tired to go out and just decided to change into her sleeping clothes and readied for bed. dad eventually did the same thing. so that meant, not much of an alone time for us. chess was next sensible thing to do. i won, this time for real and my moves at the end were not even as planned. right now, it's sooo gloomy. i dont like it. going back, with my clever husband things got just a little bit better. cb. but way better. [we should have a whole new term for that] chickens we were not. =) eventually he had to go back to his four-cornered room called dorm before midnight.

the next morning at 6, i picked him up and slept in the hotel when we came back. i missed that. sleeping and waking up next to my hubby. but of course, wake up call this time was.. umm, shaky.. as he tells me. all good. sunday morning, mass then lunch at chili's. then we went to se where he can buy me books to feed my eyes and head. nowhere to go in the poor place. it's alright. we decided to just go back to the base and stayed at bowling area while waiting til we had to leave. i was a little disappointed that the parentals didnt kep their promise to leave at 6pm but was wanting to leave at early as 5.yeah, tat could have been a hour more for us. but whateva!

so the cycle begins again... sad goodbyes and kisses, tight hugs and holding hands. again, have never been together for any of our wedding anniversaries. i'm missing you so much. few more weeks - again.. if i could just go there by msyelf i will... iloveyoubebe!

i got colds. my nose is hurting already, my head feels so heavy. it's so gloomy pa. kainis!

i finally wore my miniskirt last night [for the record in winter] plus the new shirt hubby got me while in ms. these were shell and snoopy shirts. =) my legs and feet are usually stronger for the cold than my back and shoulders. oh well. i have 2 new books now. i need to get better.

i want my husband here!

anyway, i was at bj's earlier and i've been tempted to buy like three books[chic lit]. but there was this oprah's book club book that i wanted. so i went about my business in bj's. lunch at mom and dad's - good food!

yesterday. drove charlot to work. errands errands errands. went to target. nada. then went to the mall. i got really lucky. i found a keeper at express. afterwhich, i spent an hour in dalton being the bookworm that i am.

and the day before that. all about M.A.C. and Giorgio Armani. =)

i dont know why i have been slackin'. there could have been so much i should have blogged about.

my dad's bday is coming up, march 25. i sent the bday card today. he's all the way in manila.

for some reason, a lot of my friends from back home have been asking for me. can't wait to go home.

oh.. here's what i'll blog about!!! =)
hubby sent me two snoopy boyshorts, an original broadcast soundtrack of R E N T then a white AF shirt. how much sweeter can that be? he's seriously gone sweeter [or more thoughtful] and since im talking about him already, one thing that needs another spotlight.. he remembers stuff from our history. hats off baby! it amazes me.

i went to plush [darn]. well darn coz i didnt enjoy it. maybe it went with the whole married thing. or then again, i realized im done with that scene. suddenly it felt so unfamiliar and uninteresting. there was this african-am lady [i thought it was, oh she.. was a guy], she was wearing a fishnet dress shorter than a camisole. ok, im exaggerating, just long enough to cover her butt. oh well, i admired the nerve. i ended up having a 'discussion' with my sister going home. oh well, the next day sunday, we're okay, didnt even bother to talk about it.

another happy thought. leaving for MS for active duty = visiting the husband this weekend.
can't wait bebe! =) iloveyou!
