Ramblings of a Perpetually Tanned Filipina

Dear blog, I had a lobster dinner treat from my husband tonight and it was awesome! Mr. Crabs is moving down to #2 on my list. Lobster is my favorite now- especially the tail! All you can eat Seafood and Lobster feast! 2nd helping I think this car is a lobster lover too! I had a great time, but I don't think I can afford to go there every week. LOL! 'Til next year's lobster feast! Love, Dee

This is what I need right now. A Trip to the beach, a getaway, just a day or a week of relaxation. It's been one hell of a week and "hell" is an understatement at work. The hailstorm in Denver on Wednesday damaged 18 of our planes in our hub which resulted to a lot of cancellations - of course that includes our station. I went to work unaware until I saw my co-workers work on a list. I was like, was there a cancellation during the morning flight? Then bam! I was told that our flight for the afternoon is the one that's cancelled and they were told 15 minutes before I clocked in. I knew it will be really messy that afternoon and all I wanted was go home and just curl up into a ball. It was my first time to deal with a cancellation and I am very aware how messy it can be. Our line was so long, it was like the day is not going to end for us. We normally deal with lines from 2-4pm, but yesterday's line? Until 7pm oh yeah! I was a bit lucky 'coz I only had one ...

I didn't realize that it's been two months since I blogged. Work interferes with my social life and even makes me stop writing in this blog. I just want to let you guys know though, that I have met Rob Schneider last night. He looks great in person even if he is a little short. :)  We watched his show at the Improv and I was surprised at how good he is in making people laugh. He is funny in movies, but delivering witty, funny lines on stage is totally different. I didn't expect much last night 'coz I thought his jokes will be cheesy. But he did a great job for an hour and a half - non-stop laughter for me and the rest of the people who watched his show. He also is a very nice guy and he even told me "Go Pinoy!" when I told him I'm also Filipino before this picture was taken. He is half Pinoy and half Jewish, and he made Filipino jokes about his mom and it cracked me up. I would like to thank my husband for getting me tickets to his show and for h...

I suffer from acne since I was 12 years old. My classmates back in gradeschool would call me crater 'coz I had pimples all over my forehead and cheeks. I was forced to use astringents at the early age of 13 even if I know I'm not supposed to use it 'coz I was just so insecure with my skin. Both of my parents suffer from acne when they were young, that's why I have the bumps too. I tried everything and anything just to have clear skin. It cleared up in 2005 when I used Kojic Acid soap, but my skin was getting used to it that I started breaking out again. It cleared up a little again when we went to Vegas in 2010 'coz the air there is dry and it was cold in October, so my skin's pores took a vacation too from getting inflamed. Then as soon as we got back to the humid weather, I started breaking out again. I have been trying anything and everything - from Stridex pads, to salicylic acid, etc. I tried Acne Free Severe too, but it was just too strong that I started g...
