Life as we know it

Posted By sneezeniz on Nov 24, 2009 at 6:58PM

"As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn’t supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You’ll have your heart broken and you’ll break others’ hearts. You’ll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you’ll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you’ve never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. You just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone’s hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don’t be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back."

iBinge: Re-visiting Dunkin' Donuts

Posted By sneezeniz on Nov 24, 2009 at 5:22PM

This clearly shows how backlogged I am. I just realized that this was taken during Halloween. Explains the spider on top of the doughnut. We are so "matakaw"! That cold dessert was never enough for us so we hit old timer Dunkin' Donuts.

It was actually my brother who was the master of this craving. And there another sugar infested treat for all of us.

And we still had room for doughnuts to go.

Let's give those belly it's much needed rest.

iBinge: Dessert Stop at Lulubelle

Posted By sneezeniz on Nov 24, 2009 at 3:00PM

After that heavy weight meal, our tongues were just screaming for dessert. When we saw most of the little kids bringing these little cups, I swear I felt like I drooled -- just a little. Then I turned to my daughter,

Janiz: Lulubelle?

Kiara: I was supposed to say the same thing!

Janiz: What can I say, great minds think alike.

Kiara: Well on my part, there wasn't so much thinking going on. It was merely sugar rush.

Janiz: Hush up Kiar, don't give me that hypothetical non-sense.

Kiara: Alright. Now hush me up with one cup of Lulubelle please.

Janiz: No problem brainiac!

Like I've posted here before, of all the ice cream flavors, Vanilla is just a cut above the rest -- well, that's what my daughter thinks. She loves other flavors like strawberry, chocolate, bubble gum, cookies and cream, etc. But Vanilla is just on the top of her list. And here I am again with the Facebook survey my daughter posted on my wall.

Q: "If Janiz Jardiolin-Lo was an ice cream flavor, what would she be?"

A: ''Vanilla. . . ''

Awww. She's just the sweetest. She melted my heart, yet again. Like a cup of Vanilla ice cream in freezing temparature.

Kids are the greatest, they're the sweetest thing on the planet. Not even the sweetest dessert can equal or top that.

iBinge: Sumo Meal at Sumo Sam

Posted By sneezeniz on Nov 24, 2009 at 2:42PM

Saturdays are not always fun, it can be a complete trip to boredom. So that's when good food and big meal comes in. We're that type that eats when we're happy and eats even more when we're down. We were in a battle of where to eat because almost every restaurant is packed. We all agreed to have Sumo Sam, and promised to be a little more patient for any probable wait. So there, we ended up having dinner really late.

I can't tell you just how many times these iPhone app has saved me. We were not in speaking terms at that time, not that we had a fight or something, but we were all too hungry to even talk.

And my daughter of course was too absorbed that she couldn't care less how she'd look in the actual pictures.

I just want to share this, it's a little off topic but I am currently teary-eyed with what my daughter has posted in my Facebook. You know the whole survey thingy? She did a couple but one particularly drew my attention and the question was:

Q: "If you had never met Janiz Jardiolin-Lo, how would your life be different?"

A: I wouldn't be here right now, 'cause she's my mom.

I was chocking up in tears. Trying to make sure nobody would see me cry, so I waited for today to just let it all out. For those who doesn't still know, I had my daughter at nineteen. And I was then having a rough time. People just won't let you get away with it that easy. I got numerous whispers judging my character and it would be a lie if I tell you now that I was cool with it then. Honestly, it brought me down. That was probably the time I hit rock bottom. Although not everyone says it in my face, but I know they wanted to tell me that it's a HUGE mistake. Taken out from morality context, it is. But I wanted to tell my daughter although it may be a "mom-dialogue cliche" but I want to say it nontheless,

"You're the greatest thing that happened to my life and if I had the chance to go back, I would definitely make the same mistake just to have you."

That's one sumo meal we had there, now time for dessert?
