Chiqui Visits the Bay Area

Before anything else i would like to thank the bunch of crazy mixed nuts for such a fun night. I know it was such short notice dahil sa akin uncoordinated schedule, paiba iba ng date at paurong sulong ang plano. I had a blast, so did my husband and kids. it was nice meeting everyone's partner and kids. I was surprised everybody was at ease and comfortable. We were in such a comfort zone that there were no limits to our laughter and inhibitions. Si Mars nag exhibition dance pa.

Thanks a lot to Julie and hubby Dodie for being a wonderful host and cook. Of course Julie with her food for the god's specialty at maraming mga take a bow and hat's off specials tulad ng leche flan, oreo cream pie, etc. sabi ni mister ikaw daw ang pinaka baby face and looking young sa atin lahat. hindi na ako papalag. Hi Dodie hwag kang magsasawa. tinulugan ka ba ni Julie sa after care?

kay Dennis ang akin future balae at nakapag prenuptial arrangements na kami, bwahahaha. hi to bale ella na napakatahimik at napakabait, buti nalang hindi siya nasiraan ng bait sa amin. Swerte mo Dennis, ang galing mong pumili. Salamat rin sa walang sawa mong pagkuha ng mga letrato sa beauty namin. send Lani the bill. let us know when you post it.

kay richie na biglang nagpakita, hindi siya nag RSVP, buti na lang at naaccomodate namin siya dahil mayroon siyang dalang malaking bandehado na seafood platter. Italian translation please. salamat kay Anthony, he was there in spirit. walang kupas pa rin ang mga true to life stories ni Richie the rich.

kay Evelyn na kahit lasing na ay nagdrive pa ng 71 miles one way para lang makipag tsismisan. day off daw siya. napagalitan ka ba babes? kay Mars na linasing at napangiti ng husto ang asawa ko. hanggang sa susunod na umaga nakangiti pa siya, pakibigay nga ang formula ng mix mo. Pangga talagang magpatingin ka na ng mga mata mo.

kay Lani at Rod na kinidnap ako sa aking present engagement at drove us all the way to Tracy. Sige na nga Lani, magaling ka talagang navigator. ang galing pumili ng asawa si Rod.

Lani ang Mars,,,, Thanks for setting the crazy pace, you guys were hilarious. My hubby and my kids had so much fun. of course i'm still debating kung nasurpass natin yun LA fun. What do you think?

Not to worry everyone, hindi namin kayo napagusapan dahil kulang pa ang oras namin para hamakin at alaskahin ang isa't isa. walang napikon kaya lahat kami ay umuwing magaganda at nakangiti at about 1:30 am.

on the other side, my kids had so much fun at disneyland for 5 days, legoland and universal studios a day each, IMAGINE, i was walking in the desert for 7days and 7 nights, anong kasalan ang nagawa ko at i deserved to be punished like this, hindi ko makita ang katapusan ng pagkasawa nila, bwahahaha. kidding aside, i think i'm paid off for another 1-2 years, anong sa palagay niyo parents?

i am still disoriented to time place and person. i'm confused to my time zone, can't catch up with the flow of things at work, don't know who's winning in the Olympics, don't know who's taking the lead in the campaign, did hear something about the Abu Sayab pero went out the other ear, don't even know what's on sale at the stores, bwahahaha in other words............ i don't have a clue. Did a quick view on e mail. had to skip the jokes , had to skip e mails that need downloading , babalikan ko silang lahat mamaya.

Noticed i greeted Gene again, yikes talagang tanda na. still trying to find the continuation to the PR saga.................JC , kahit oblivious and dating ko, hinahanap ko pa yun missing link sa confession mo????????? pwera lang kung ang sagot ay nasa mga to download ay mamaya ko pa makikita. Kita mo naman na pati si Gabby at nagising sa malalim na pagkatulog. Naduduwag ka bang magreveal ng truth? isa nanaman kasalan yan kay Padre Damaso.

Rocky................ si Mars ang coordinator sa Hawaiian Holiday. si lani ay fired on the spot ng committee on quality assurance. bwahahaha. Sabi nila either May Memorial Weekend or may narinig pa akong October? anyday will do sa akin. kahit ano. pero you are welcome anytime you can make it.

Shazam,,,,,,,,,,,miss na miss na namin ang mga kwentong sidewalk mo. hey guys, i heard a Flash Work Flood Warning,,,,,,,,,,wooooooooooohhhhhhh, here it comes, yikeeeeeeeesssssssss nalunod na ako. JD. ikaw ba ay nakahabol na? di bale nakapagenjoy ka naman.

talk to you all later, mahaba na.

Thank you Julie and Dodie for being such great hosts. I know it took a lot of time and effort to prepare all those foods, not to mention putting the place in spic n' span order bago dumating ang bagyo which was us, kaya kailangang magsipsip kami ngayon sa inyo. Ang gulo, ano? Muntik nang atakihin si Dodie sa mga bata, lalung-lalo na yung mga anak ko, who took advantage of me being so wrapped up sa ating kuwentuhan at tawanan. Well, they didn't get away with it coz it was all caught on video. Sabon ang inabot ni Jed sa akin while we were watching the tape.

Chiqui, ok pala naman si Pupung (Note: Alam na ni Mars ang sikreto, for Pupung to stay put and listen to her jack-of all-trade tirades) at sanay na sanay pala siyang makihalubilo sa mga sirang katulad namin. That's also true for Dodie. Kaya lang, Dodie, hindi mo sinunod yung suggestion ko na pakuluan mo muna yung barbecue spare ribs para lumambot, bago i-grill. Di sana hindi ako inabot nang 2 oras makipag-bunung braso sa barbecue. Uy, I'm not complaining ha? Ang sarap-sarap nga eh!

Chiqui, it was so nice to have finally met your family. Your girls are so well-behaved in spite of the torture they got from my Jed who obviously can't deal with the sight of pretty little girls. Hayaan mo, I will straighten him out. Give my apologies to the girls, ok?

Evelyn, trouper ka talaga. Imagine driving home alone at 1:00 in the morning. Uwi ba ng matinong babae yun? (uy, biro lang ha?). As always, hindi kumpleto ang chikahan kung wala ka. Sa susunod hahatid at susunduin ka na lang namin para payagan ka ulit ng hubby mo.

Ikaw, Mars, sa susunod huwag ka nang mahuhuli ha? Di ba ikaw ang naka-duty mag-entertain (as in clown around) that night? Habang wala ka, I was forced to take your place, biruin mo kulang na lang tumulay ako sa alambre para ma-entertain ko lang silang lahat. Monet, pakilagay nga yung alarm clock sa bulsa niya pag may-reunion tayo?

Dennis & Ella, kayo lang talaga ang pinaka-behaved that night. Ay, si Ella lang pala. Kasi si Dennis, medyo bumigay na rin, naguumpisa nang sumayaw kaya lang pagtingin niya kay Ella and saw that disapproving look, hininto na niya (hey, biro lang ha?)

Richie, that was really a welcome surprise! You made it after all. Siyempre hindi kumpleto ang chikahan kung wala si Richie at siyempre hindi rin kumpleto ang kaniyang deliberations kung walang agua de pataranta para naman lahat ng details lumabas, ha ha ha ha!

Hey, listen to this, sabi ng auntie ko while viewing the tape, hindi daw tayo mga mukhang kuwarenta, IMAGINE THAT? he he he he

That's all folks!
