April ♥

April was meant to be for Nemo and my family. As I have realized lately, I've been spending most of my time with my family - and if I'm not with them, I'm with Nemo.. or BOTH!

Here are some of the best of my summer so far.

Having step brothers is like having real brothers at all. I felt the same way like most of the mothers feel - being proud. Yes, I'm a proud sister to my baby brothers, Rafael and Ryan. Rafael is now a certified high school student while Ryan is now a college student - and might be studying at Mapua Institute of Technology with a course of Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineer - since he already passed the entrance test.

Ryan. With me, papa and Rafael.


Food fest! That's how we celebrate every important days of our lives. We're so reluctant to foods and dishes that are very unique to our taste buds. We tend to eat a lot and check out new twists on fab restaurants or food chains. Just like many others, people loves to eat all the time as long as you have "cha ching cha ching". Even without it, still -- foods are the best-test medicine of all time!

One of which, is me and Nemo celebrated our month-anniv at Sizzling Pepper Steak.


Chicken Pepper Rice & Pork BBQ Pepper Rice was really amazing.


Ever since we were young, mommy always prepare a birthday celebration for all of us, as much as she can - she'll buy cakes, chicken, lechon, etc for the sake of making you very special on the date of you birthday. This time, daddy surprised mommy with a very discreet birthday celebration. All of the members in the house was doing their designated tasks, like me - I bought the case of Coke & case of Beer. I also drove alone, for the very first time, just to buy those at Makro. Isn't it amazing? I was able to manage driving without someone professional beside me. What an achievement!

At SM Mall of Asia with Nemo and relatives.

Right after the lunch-out and videoke at home, we went to SM Mall of Asia - which is not actually an original plan - the plan was to go to Tagaytay. But since we will not be able to appreciate the scenery, then what we did was we had dinner at Yellow Cab, and yes! that's at SM MOA! haha. We went all they way to Pasay just to ate pizza. Awesome!


So here's THE REAL PLAN. After mommy's birthday, we went at Tagaytay the next day, it's somewhat a continuation of mommy & Mariel's birthday. We went there together with family and relatives, including Nemo. We had so much fun and had a wonderful day, again, with the fam.

Nemo and my family at Taal Vista, Tagaytay.

Tagaytay is lovelier the seconnd time around! We went at Tagaytay Picnik Grove last year in celebration of Nemo's birthday. This time, we're in Taal Vista, Tagaytay.

Nemo, will you.... check if my ring is a 24karat gold? :))

Dinner at RSM Lutong Bahay.

Aside from microphone, I also play the ciello... IN MY DREAMS!


It's Mariel's 16th, and we went to Enchanted Kingdom together with her Sienna & Miriam friendships. And of course, I was with Nemo too :)

Surprise Mariel! Happy 16th Birthday from Achie & Nemo.

Happy Birthday Mariel! From Mommy, Achie, Nemo, Miriam & Sienna friends!

While Mariel is with her Miriam friends, Me & Nemo was with her Sienna friends - since we already know them for quite some time and our bonding has chemistry.

So cool that I SURVIVED SPACE SHUTTLE MAX! Although I was teary-eyed right after the ride, the essence is still there! (evil smirk) I still, and I was able to ride that scary shuttle. And I'm so damn proud!

Here's a romantic scenery of ala-New York-slash-Space Shuttle Max! I really love this shot. I feel like I'm with James BALD .. I mean.. James Bond. (well actually, the pose was adopted from Charlie's Angels) haha. To make the story short, I love this shot!

Fooooooooods! Had pizza hut and Dilly Bars for reception! LOL :P

April is not complete without the Holy Week. So on the first day, I had my very first company outing at Maysha Resort together with my officemates at Computer Avenue and some of my dad's officemates at Yamaha Motortrade Nationwide Corp. I really did enjoy this a lot, not only because I was also with Nemo that night, it was also my first work-related outing experience.

With Mariel, Nemo and my partner in Marketing, Kuya Normel and our one-and-only technician, Kuya Rex.

Visita Iglesia are Spanish words meaning "church visits." Filipinos traditionally visit fourteen churches in remembrance of the 14 stations of the cross. We, on the other hand, visit only 7 churches and pray 2 stations for each church.

Visita Iglesia with family.

We went at:

1. Christ The King Parish Church - Mozon
2. St. John The Baptist Parish Church - Taytay, Rizal
3. Our Lady of Light Parish Church - Cainta Rizal
4. Parokya Ng Santo Rosario - Pasig
5. Christ The King Parish Church - Green Meadows
6. Nativity of our Lady Parish - Marikina City
7. Monasterio De Sta. Clara - Katipunan

Right after, we had our dinner at Pizza Hut.
(Daddy can't do fasting due to his Diabetes)


Right after Visita Iglesia, Mariel & I went for an Alay Lakad from Cainta Rizal to Antipolo Church.


I wasn't able to make it to the church because I was sick that night, I feel like I had butterflies in my stomach and thank God we found a nice resto-bar along Antipolo and a cool crew to assist us to the bathroom.

Going back...

We're almost there actually, good thing Nel lives at Antipolo, so we we're able to take a rest and ate a little for dinner.


Before I end this novela blog of mine, I just want to congratulate my lawfully wedded boyfriend, Nemo for winning the 1st runner-up for speed category in Pump It Up Fun at WOF Phase 1.

I'm a PROUD GIRLFRIEND! :)


So basically, all of these happened only this April and this took me 3 days of blogging. Good thing Blogspot has "save as draft". I just can't believe that all of these happened only in a month. And I still have upto June to make the most of my summer. Yup! You heard it right, it's June - and we're going to be out of the country... sooooon ♥♥♥

Simple Joys ♥

In reality, small thoughts - counts. We tend to take some things for granted because we think that those things are not that important or valuable to us. But, the truth is, the easiest way to make us happy, is to be thankful of every little thing that other people gave or do to us. Appreciate. And love every single piece of it.

Let me share with you, some of the things that happened to me this past few weeks. ♥

This is Racquel, one of my college classmate at CEU. She's quiet & smart. We gain the same weight and looks very intimidating and "mataray". Deep inside, is a heart-melting attitude that ignite us both when I was the president of our class. I realized how good she was and a great friend she was. After a long time, 1 1/2 years I guess, we we're able to talk again via Facebook. And yup, we do "like" each other's photos, status, or checking out latest stories about each other, until one time, she messaged me with this sweet words which makes my heart grow chubbier ♥

On March 27, 2011, my baby brothers Rafael & Ryan will be graduating from elementary & high school respectively. And I'm a proud sister! So, I was planning to buy them cellphones as a graduation gift. And when I was about to buy, instead of surprising them, I can't help myself to ask them first. I'm scared because it might end up that they might not appreciate my gift. So I asked them first and I was not that surprised to have these kind of responses - because I know that Ryan & Rafael is not a kind of guys that usually spends on material things. They are very thrifty and saves a lot. Hindi sila maluho. :) So I need to plan again for a new gift, any suggestions?

Congratulations to my super mahal na mahal kong kapatid, Manuel Ryan Uy-Ticzon, for passing the Mapua Entrance Exam for Bachelor of Science in Computer Engineering :) I'm so proud of you!


Finally, Me & Mark was able to play together FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME for a double performance, with one of my favorite songs in Pump It Up Fiesta, Tepris by Doin.

King & Queen of FZero Stalucia ♥
1st time in history nagtambalan sa isang Double Performance.. ♥

Finally, I decided to buy a 2nd-hand psp for the mean time (and yeah, for hard-core gaming reasons too).. Thanks much Jeng Enriquez for making my simple dream possible.. ♥♥♥

And also, thank you
Erich Lorraine Cruzz (Miffy) & Erol Cruzz (Diffy) for the Hello Kitty plush ♥ Super kawaiii! I'm going to bring the rest of my plushes tomorrow :) I'm so excited for the trading.. *group hugs*

If you're going to ask, I'll save for the Ipod Touch 4g, but that can wait.. I still have other priorities.. Hope to have one soon :)

Those simple things, those simple words... They never fail me, they always make my heart melt.. ♥

The Best Thing in Life is NEMO ♥

In the past 2 years, he has been the man of my dreams. Chubby, simple & down-to-earth. The three things I like the most in a guy. Plus factors are sense of humor, trust-worthy, faithful and most of all, God-fearing.

*ehem* Nemo *ehem*, Love you much!

I'm so glad I found you, I'm not gonna lose you,
Whatever it takes, I will stay here with you ♥♥♥

*This is Nemo's unexpected gift for our month anniv last Feb :)

Feliz día de San Valentín ♥

Spent Valentine's Day at Sakai Sushi.



The best Valentines Day, so far! Super bloated with sushi-all-you-can at Sakae Sushi! We planned this 2 months ago and finally, experienced the awesome conveyor right at side of our table.♥

Had a tiring day last Saturday. Then arranged ordered lenses c/o our online shop, Nemo Chichi Lens. Went home at around 10:30 I guess,. Haven't eaten my dinner yet. Until...

It's almost 10minutes to 1am Sunday, had a special midnight breakfast delivery from Nemo
..... ♥♥♥

Thank you Nemo, this really means a lot to me! Don't worry, kinain ko yung kamatis :)))) *chim*

Crafted Couple Pets, Pinky for Nemo (achieachie) and Pinko for me (azinemolanna).
Aren't they cute? ♥♥♥

I had Bubble Gum flavored and Nemo had Double Dutch flavored fried ice cream.
Our P25.00 was worth it. ♥ Thanks Miguelitos!

And Finally..
This is way better and cooler than flowers & chocolates! ♥

We went to China Bank to open an account last Valentine's Day, February 14, 2011.
We did that on purpose - a special Valentine's gift for the both of us. :)

Random Thoughts ♥

It's been a month since the last time I doodled here in my little nook. I just got too busy with my work and our business. I really suck in time management, I admit. But I got used to being too productive that I even get to spend time with my friends even though my schedules are at burst.

I started the year being a marketing assistant at Computer Avenue Trading, which is also my mom's computer business for almost 20 years. Everyday, I go to work from 8:30 am to 5:30 pm, it's somewhat different with the time scheme from my previous work. So far, I survived a month last January - and still - I don't know what's my responsibility as a marketing assistant. I am supposed to be doing quotations, designing fliers, events and anything about marketing strategies. However, I can say that I do everyone's job. I sometimes help Ms. Imee with accounting matters, cheques, vouchers, sales, and operations. I even go along with delivery and collection. All-around indeed :)

I learned a lot, though. I experienced a lot of new things in the world of business, which is really my dream course way back in college. I enjoy working with my family, however, my social life is not that really active anymore, even though I go out with some friends, It turns out that my life cycle is home - work - doing our contact lens online shop (ship items, meet suppliers) - spend quality time with Nemo and family, then the rest is for sleep.

Anyway... I just thank God for all of this. Without this happening to me, I will not be able to look beyond the walls of the real life, real journey of the 20's, which means, I'm growing old - need to save and think maturely about my/our future. and that sucks! LOL.

Ok, no more stress. Let's just do some backtrack here. I owe a lot here in my diary...

This is the first birthday party I attended this year, and it's Rain's 1st birthday at Shakeys.

With Uy Family.


We celebrated a triple birthday celebration of my grandmother Lola Choleng, my brother Rafael and my aunt, Auntie Jhoanna. They are all January in the family :) Enjoyed the cakes provided by my aunt, (mommy). It was fun but sad at the same time. Because papa and my brother weren't able to make it due to my brother's examination the next day.

Happy 70th birthday lola!

Happy Birthday Auntie Jhoanna & my beloved kapatid :)


After a month in Computer Avenue, another welcoming-pizza treat for me! With my previous work at Teletech, my team leader had a pizza treat for the whole team. This time, a treat from Lots'a Pizza!

Lots'a Pizza with my officemates :)


This time, celebrated Chinese New Year at the office.

With my Ms. Mylene, Mr. Adelfo & Ms. Imee.

After Nemo and I went busy with the shipping of our Nemo Chichi Lens Ice Chocolate for Ms. Carmina, we went to Gateway Cubao for the delivery of the said lens. Then we decided to ate at Taco Bell to celebrate the our 3rd chinese new year together ♥

Kiong Hee Huat Tsai ♥♥♥

Heart-shaped cards from Taco Bell ♥


Finally, an incentive... Had an overwhelming day with my family at Wensha Spa!

Shabu-Shabu ♥

Eat-all-you-can complimentary foods, whole body massage, and many more!


February, another love month. And another anxiety month. Lord God, it's all up to you...

Thank you Lord for all of the blessings. I really had a great start.. I hope this will last for a lifetime. Thank you... :)
