Bubba's Birthday and Christmas Holiday 2008 Redux

It's almost the end of January and today is Juan 's (fondly called Bubba) 4th birthday. Bubba is the 9th and youngest of my nephews and nieces. He has such an adorable smile.

We have not bonded much as everyone wants to hug and kiss him all the time (to his annoyance sometimes..too bad you are the youngest babe LOL) but we will have our sweet time one day.

Happy Birthday Juan Alejandro!

And while I was scrounging around for a nice photo of Bubba I saw this one just the two of us at the pool in Canyon Cove Resort Nasugbu, Batangas. I suddenly missed everyone and promptly reminisced about that super fun holiday season.

For the rest of the Kamp's holiday season photos head on out to http://gigidm.multiply.com/photos/album/48/Kamp_Braza_Holidays_2008

Sidebar: I love that new mauve/plum tankini I picked up in Dubai last year. Too bad I'm too shy to have a photo taken of the whole suit..hahaha!

Mr. Shower Bug

I was taking a shower the other day when suddenly "thunk!", something fell on the floor. It was my shower bug!

I did not realize that the thing has been there since I moved to the birdcage. It was one of the earlier gifts of my boss from the US.

The poor thing's antennae broke and now it is back at work blaring sounds from the radio and telling time with a taped up antennae.

Another realization is that it is probably my most taken for granted, unappreciated purple possession. To think that if the bug could see and talk, it would tell everyone how I look naked! LOL! It would also tell everyone what I sing in the shower..oh well you all probably know I must sing japanese or chinese songs half of the words I don't understand. And of course, he will tell everyone that I sometimes strike up a conversation with the guy on the poster just opposite the shower stall (Kimura Takuya of SMAP!).

So to you my dear shower bug - sorry! gomenasai! dui bu qui! I will strive to keep you in good condition and make sure you have batteries and nicely stuck on the glass wall. Please continue to keep me company in one of the most mundane but necessary task in the world. :)

Musings...

It's been a while since I posted an entry. I was lazy, I was uninspired and basically was thinking of my purpose in life this year.. I've never done much of this because to me I just focus on my career goals and travel to as many places as I can. Somehow 2009 made me sit down and think what I wanted to do for the year..and with my life.

At this time last year, I was running around crazy at work getting ready to fly to Taipei for the F4 album launching and mini concert. I realized that I'm not inclined to do much fangirl travel this year as the previous years.

With my family being here during the holidays I decided that I'd see as much of them as I can even if I have to fly where they are. So I'll give the US a shot this year because I badly want to see my nephew and nieces.

Career-wise, I'm happy where I am but if a better opportunity comes then why not? Health-wise I am intent on being a good girl this year and do all those check-ups I so dread. LOL!

One thing will not change though...this world of mine will remain PURPLE!

Welcoming 2009 with more purple!

Hello 2009! Hello new additions to MOPWORLD!

I received so many new purple stuff from family and friends. But these are a few of my favorite things. :)

Hello new beaded hanger, notebook, hi-tech pen and bag fab from Mayo. I absolutely love the hanger. And the ink pen that can be erased. That little notebook is a Print (brand) notebook whose "mommy" version is in my collection too.

Hello jibbets! I bought my purple crocs during my recent Japan trip and it only had one jibbet. But thanks to fellow purple person Ochie, my crocs now has a family.

Hello new tops, new bag and beauty stuff! Oh and I also love my new mobile pouch because it can now carry my two mobile phones. I've been wanting something like this to use for travel. Thanks to Ramon and Teng and Tatsi for the tops, Denver and Pam for the bag and my HR girls for the girly beauty stuff.

Though I would like to continue to put a little color in my life, additions to mopworld are always welcome with wide open arms.
