A lot has happened since my last entry. Our house is looking great, more cozy now. We bought curtains and stuff for the kitchen.

Raymund celebrated his 31st birthday last May 10. It was his rest day, but he went to the office and worked for about 4 hours. We met up ion Glorietta and we watched "Poseidon". We went to Robinson's Galleria and bought ice cream, then headed off to his brother's house in Vista Verde, Cainta. His siblings were there. I finally met my new godson, Peewee (real name Jose Angelo Delmendo Jr.), Bebz's youngest child. His mom arrived later that night. It was fun just being around his family. Everyone was teasing me about having my own baby since I was always carrying Peewee. Ate Joy and and Mommy Menchie were giving me all sorts of tips so that I can get pregnant. I felt like I was gonna explode when Raymund told me (as he was lovingly stroking Peewee's foot) that he wanted to have a baby girl soon. ARRGGHH! I felt like crawling under the sofa.

Raymund and I joined my family in Kuala Lumpur last May 19-22. We went to the Petronas Twin Towers, Aquaria and National Zoo. We didn't get to sightsee much because my siblings were food poisoned. I got LBM on our third day there, and it was terrible. I met up with my Malaysian classmates after 11 years. It was great! Most of them changed a lot. I used to be the skinny one, and now I was the fattest one. Damn. It shocked me that ALL of them are single until now. Oh well. They're pretty busy with their careers anyways. I was really touched that they went through so much just to see me. Lailing travelled 6 hours on a bus from Singapore, and Kiu and Chou Seng spent around 2 hours on the plane from Miri to Kuala Lumpur. They arrived in the Dome restaurant straight from the airport. Thanks so much guys!

My dad bought me a new phone for my birthday in June. How sweet! I have a blue Motorola V3x now, and I gave my old Nokia 2100 to Ate Joy (Raymund's older sister). Thanks Papa!

Melot, Raymund's brother, celebrated his 30th birthday at his house in Cainta, complete with catering last May 28. It rained though, so we didn't get to eat dinner till around 7:30pm. Sugar was drunk. Hehe. The guests placed eggs, flour, margarine, and mayonaisse on his head as a sign of good luck (and revenge). Melot was the one who started this yucky birthday tradition. Payback time indeed. Check out the pics in my Multiply site.

Raymund and I watched The Da Vinci Code on its first day, May 18, before our trip to Kuala Lumpur. I enjoyed it. It followed the story from the book, with minor differences.

Yesterday, we watched the X Men III: The Last Stand in SM North Edsa. I loved it! Jean Grey was gorgeous! Too bad so many people died. To those who haven't watched it, don't leave right away. There's something to look for AFTER the credits. It's worth the wait, promise.

He went shopping yesterday. He bought a new Timex watch, a book about leadership by John Maxwell, and two Parker pens (we have identical pens with our names engraved on them). Cool! Finally went grocery shopping. I'm gonna cook his favorite later.

I'm currently reading "Daughters in Sepia" by Isabel Allende, as insisted by my mom. She's a huge fan of the author nowadays. I think she just bought a new book by the same author. I plan to read my dad's book, "The Holy Grail and the Holy Blood" by Michael Baigent, Richard Leigh and Henry Lincoln. It's a really old book. My dad bought it in 1992.

Wow, that was a really long entry, to make up for my laziness to update. That's it for now.
