<p>Ladies and gentlemen, it&#8217;s scorching hot once again.</p>
<p>I interrupt the <a href="http://www.sheenahtan.com/ds">DS</a> updates since I really can&#8217;t find a way to organize my thoughts during this hot hot weather. Will have to dream about the long write-up for the page instead.</p>
<p>In 2007 I created the Candle Series in <a href="http://justthatbad.multiply.com/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/justthatbad.multiply.com/?referer=');">Multiply</a>. The series shows how a candle in Los Baños bends due to extreme heat. Los Baños is a cooler place compared to Manila.</p>
<p>Initially the candle looked like this:<br />
<img src="http://images.justthatbad.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/RieQCwoKCm4AAB6oWDY1/IMG_0171.JPG?et=g6mS3Cc%2CgBoo1N6NlS1PWQ&#038;nmid=25353629" alt="Candle 1" /></p>
<p>Then it looked like this:<br />
<img src="http://images.justthatbad.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/RinfeQoKCm4AABqrooc1/IMG_0109.JPG?et=0cSktIGdm1Ak3j4nkqlnGw" alt="Candle 2" /></p>
<p>A week later&#8230;<br />
<img src="http://images.justthatbad.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/RitAOQoKCm4AAGvlX6U1/IMG_0003.JPG?et=sBuke%2CZNWB8OaJHAU5a49Q&#038;nmid=25590315" alt="Candle 3" /></p>
<p>Then&#8230;<br />
<img src="http://images.justthatbad.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/Rix33goKCm4AAFTsZr01/IMG_0005.JPG?et=2TPdAKhX3OM66dhXILYHSA&#038;nmid=25680512" alt="Candle 4" /></p>
<p>Then a telephone made out of wax:<br />
<img src="http://images.justthatbad.multiply.com/image/1/photos/upload/300x300/Rk0QxQoKCm4AAGyW6T41/IMG_0002.JPG?et=MiHKcrrkYgpMegwf0TCrXQ&#038;nmid=42599964" alt="Candle 5" /></p>
<p>If I were to put a tall candle here in Manila I won&#8217;t count weeks to come up with a deformed piece of wax.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</p>
<p>No matter how long I bathe I still feel like melting. Perhaps leaving Baguio is a wrong move for me and Dave. To digress, the only time I sweat in Baguio was when I had a bowl of <em>Anak ng Putanesca</em> in Oh My Gulay. Baguio was such a cool place that Dave and I ought to come back really soon. We don&#8217;t belong in Manila anymore. Seriously.</p>
<p>I passed out thrice this summer due to extreme heat. The last time I ranted about this insanely hot weather was in 2007, during the height of the election. Yes, it&#8217;s the El Niño effect and yes, it&#8217;s not funny.</p>
<p>We need to get back to Baguio really soon.</p>

<p>&#8230;or &#8220;Miss Tan&#8221; as my professors and instructors in Lyceum would fondly call me. I somehow got the feeling that I was the one and only, the notorious &#8220;Miss Tan&#8221; in our campus. I secretly indulged in that fact.</p>
<p>I was talking to one of my favorite professors in UPLB and he said &#8220;you&#8217;re getting married? So it&#8217;s goodbye, Sheenah Tan now?&#8221; I jokingly replied &#8220;Yes sir, finally, no more funny Sheenah B. Tan.&#8221;</p>
<p>So true.</p>
<p>Ever since I went to school, my classmates always called me &#8220;sinabitan&#8221; or &#8220;ginatan&#8221; or &#8220;bitan&#8221;. I never really liked the idea of playing with my name that I started to hate it, even when I was five.</p>
<p>Twenty years after, I&#8217;m finally having my dream come true: a change in my name. I used to think that there are only two ways on how to resolve my ugly name: buy another or marry somebody. I willingly and whole-heartedly chose the latter.</p>
<p>I am not turning my back against my dad&#8217;s name, it&#8217;s just that &#8220;Sheenah B. Tan&#8221; sounds funny enough during graduations and stuff. I&#8217;m glad I&#8217;ll be getting rid of it, but I&#8217;ll always have a &#8220;Tan&#8221; flowing in my blood stream.</p>
<p>So, if you all don&#8217;t mind, you might as well welcome me as Mrs. Sheenah dela Cruz come Sunday. Cheers! <img src='http://www.sheenahtan.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>It&#8217;s just sinking in to me. I&#8217;m getting married. Finally, I&#8217;m feeling the most exciting part of my wedding. Dave and I have been busy working on the wedding &#8212; from the souvenirs, the guest list, documents to our own jobs that fund for the entire wedding. During those times I just thought <em>okay I&#8217;m getting married</em>, but now I&#8217;m thinking, <strong>I AM FINALLY GETTING MARRIED</strong>!</p>
<p>I admit that it wasn&#8217;t easy preparing for our really simple wedding. It was stressful and fun at the same time. And now that the wedding date&#8217;s getting closer and the preparations are all done, I only feel excited for me and Dave.</p>
<p>Dave and I have lots of people to thank for. To start with, we thank Floyd of <a href="http://www.brownseo.com/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.brownseo.com/?referer=');">SEO Philippines</a>, Enzo, Earl, <a href="http://www.finalfantasygirls.com/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.finalfantasygirls.com/?referer=');">Derek</a> and his supportive teammates. <a href="http://www.enzotoledo.com/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.enzotoledo.com/?referer=');">Enzo</a> and <a href="http://www.thefanboyseo.com/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.thefanboyseo.com/?referer=');">Earl</a> have been keeping us company in our humble abode.</p>
<p>We also thank our former boss (whose name I&#8217;d rather not disclose) who has kept me busy with lots of tasks. <em>Ninong</em>!</p>
<p>To my Plurkmates who were nothing but supportive (Dyza, Niña, Irish, Ninyo, Mico, Brinks&#8230;) To my Facebook chums whom I haven&#8217;t seen in ages (Tat, Ronjoy, Vhin, Lee, Jonas, Marvi, <a href="http://www.richelandlogenn.com/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.richelandlogenn.com/?referer=');">Lorie Genn</a>&#8230;)</p>
<p>I thank my high school friends <a href="http://www.aldorithm.com/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/www.aldorithm.com/?referer=');">Aldo</a>, JB, Olga, <a href="http://vondraye.blogspot.com/" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('/outgoing/vondraye.blogspot.com/?referer=');">Mark</a>, Jan Allen, Paul&#8230;</p>
<p>We thank Dave&#8217;s clients who&#8217;s been very generous to him.</p>
<p>My sisters Sharon and Shelani, Zeus and Jelai (you keep mamu proud!), Jayson and Carlo.</p>
<p>I thank my mom and dad who&#8217;s always been supportive and insanely excited about the wedding.</p>
<p>To Lola Fely who gives Dave lots of love.</p>
<p>To Rev. Ben Garcia for giving Dave and I advices and spiritual guidance.</p>
<p>To God who has always been there (even though we often don&#8217;t notice it). This is all for you.</p>
<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p>On February 28, my surname will change (at last!) but above all, Dave and I will change our life as well.</p>
<p>So this is the feeling of getting married. Indescribable but exquisitely fresh. <img src='http://www.sheenahtan.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>Here&#8217;s to the future Mr. and Mrs. John David dela Cruz. <img src='http://www.sheenahtan.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Today is 21-Feb-2010. Last year&#8217;s 21-Feb, I finally decided to bury the hatchet, move the heck on, and <strong>love again</strong>. Last year&#8217;s February brought lots of pain for me, but it was worth it.</p>
<p>I now believe in the saying that &#8220;there&#8217;s gotta be one person in our life who is a match for you.&#8221; In Dave and I&#8217;s case, we&#8217;re a match. I finally found somebody who&#8217;d argue about the things I say, who&#8217;d comment on how I see things, and who would fight me when he thinks I&#8217;m wrong. Basically Dave and I were each other&#8217;s dream&#8230;and nightmare so to speak.</p>
<p>It took months before we realized that we needed each other to <em>be</em> with each other. I loved him so much that even during my hateful times, there was no person in this planet I turned to at the end of the day, except Dave.</p>
<p><em>Let us be specific.</em><br />
November 27, 2008 was the day I first met Dave &#8212; a snobbish, moody and workaholic guy. I glanced at him thinking that he was sort of cute. He looked away.</p>
<p>Later in 2008 did I notice that he was a nice person. He was the first one who welcomed me in the office (by means of a group lunch?) It was kind of awkward for him to borrow my laptop in December but I didn&#8217;t mind &#8212; somehow I wanted to share a piece of me to a seemingly nice person whom I misjudged.</p>
<p>We became close as friends. I was with another guy that time and it didn&#8217;t cross my mind that Dave could want something more. He became my confidant, since apart from his being snobbish, he was also a bit mysterious.</p>
<p>He was the very first person I turned to when my previous boyfriend left me. All the way from Sampaloc he took a cab back to Kingswood just to hush me down. I cried it all out to him and he was just beside me, listening. I felt like I was talking to a long time friend.</p>
<p>He even left his iPod with me and strictly told me to listen to all the songs I was not familiar with. That way I will not remember anything about hurt since I&#8217;d feel like I&#8217;m in a totally new world. I willingly took his advice.</p>
<p>Since then I realized that he cannot be just more than a friend.</p>
<p>Dave and I have very little in common, but despite that incompatibility we still end up wanting, needing and loving each other every single day. It has been a year but really, time flies so fast.</p>
<p>Now I&#8217;m marrying the snobbish guy I first met in the office. He&#8217;s having my baby. I don&#8217;t know any other word to describe the feeling, except AMAZING.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s to the guy I love, hate and love,<br />
The one who always makes me cry<br />
The one who loves my cooking that he blames me for his new weight,<br />
The one who hates the way I hate,<br />
The one who&#8217;s never too old to feel young,<br />
The one who always like to give me everything,<br />
The one I&#8217;d like to give me everything.<br />
Here&#8217;s to Dave.</p>
<p>Happy first anniversary, honey. I love you so much. <img src='http://www.sheenahtan.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>(Buntis &#8211; pregnant; a woman carrying a baby in her womb.)</p>
<p>I&#8217;ve always accepted the fact that I&#8217;m having a baby &#8212; even if it means making more sacrifices than ever. I had to quit the job I loved the most to be able to adjust to my new body condition. And now that I&#8217;m perfectly used to my <em>new</em> body, I realized that the world doesn&#8217;t go my way anymore. In short, life has become more unfair to me now.</p>
<p>I decided to look for a full-time job since I have to help Dave with the expenses. We need money. Doing home-based jobs is not really that healthy for me, mainly because I get stuck at home alone and I don&#8217;t get to interact. Dave asked me a thousand times whether I&#8217;m ready to work again. I confidently said YES.</p>
<p>Something made me realize that being pregnant is not a blessing but a curse. A company decided to take away their job offer to me after realizing that I&#8217;m pregnant. I was fit for the job, which is why their initial decision was to hire me. A day after, they took away their offer. Because I&#8217;m pregnant.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m <em>buntis</em> but I&#8217;m not &#8216;disabled&#8217;.<br />
I&#8217;m <em>buntis</em> but I can still function.<br />
I&#8217;m <em>buntis</em> but my capabilities are not limited.<br />
I&#8217;m <em>buntis</em> and I have equal rights like those who are otherwise.<br />
I&#8217;m <em>buntis</em> but my world will not stop.<br />
I&#8217;m <em>buntis</em> and that&#8217;s just about it.</p>
<p>Sad fact: some companies do not want to hire pregnant women because they won&#8217;t be gaining a lot from them; because they believe that pregnant women will cause them more trouble; and ultimately, they believe that pregnant women are tantamount to disabled women. Didn&#8217;t each one of them come from their mother&#8217;s womb? What a disgrace.</p>
<p>When I say I can work, I really mean it. I still haven&#8217;t signed any contract with the company so I have to move on. But I won&#8217;t go without my sentiments being heard. I&#8217;m <em>buntis</em> and should not be discriminated because of that.</p>
<p>Being pregnant is <strong>NEVER</strong> a curse. Do not make anybody make you, all pregnant women feel that. If things don&#8217;t go the way you planned them, it&#8217;s not your fault. The world is just missing a meaningful point.</p>

<p>Dave and I have long anticipated our <em>big day</em> and now it&#8217;s going to happen. But first, a few issues:</p>
<p>1. NSO issued me an erroneous Certificate of No Marriage (CENOMAR). As usual, <em>Sheenah </em>is spelled as <em>Sheena</em>. Dad says we better fix that paper before it affects our wedding date.</p>
<p>2. Our wedding might cost a lot, no matter how &#8220;minimal&#8221; I want it to be. Dave wants flowers, souvenirs, cake and some other stuff a &#8220;minimal&#8221; wedding should lack. My goal for this really simple wedding was to spend as little as possible and now it&#8217;s not gonna happen. Oh well, what can an excited groom-to-be do? <img src='http://www.sheenahtan.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>3. As much as we want to make it a Dave-Chin wedding, I&#8217;m afraid my parents will be the ones to decide, still. I wanted a simple dress (if possible I&#8217;d like to buy a cheap white dress) but nanay wanted to have my dress sewn by a dressmaker. I wanted to have a few flowers <strong>only</strong> for my obligatory bouquet but my aunt wants to arrange more.</p>
<p>4. Dave and I have little budget for this really simple wedding. I&#8217;m afraid that if this really simple wedding turns into a cute expensive one, we might not be able to pay our bills for the month of February.</p>
<p>We have tentatively set our wedding date: February 28, 2010 somewhere in Laguna. We want the wedding to be as solemn as possible (solemn, if not reall simple).</p>
<p>The big question is that, how did Dave pop the question to me? He took out the ring and asked me to marry him. I was sick that time, but it felt right.</p>
<p>How did Dave ask my dad for my hand in marriage? Last night Dave and I attended this activity by the Masons (by dad&#8217;s invitation). He told dad that he and his family have &#8220;pamamanhikan&#8221; (guy&#8217;s parents asking my parents for my hand) on January 24. Dad wasn&#8217;t shocked but he promptly discussed financial matters. After talking to us, dad went to the Masons and announced Dave&#8217;s intention. Well, the closest Mason to the family loudly announced it then gave Dave his blessings (or threats, hehe). We left the hall feeling ecstatic. On our way home, dad discussed about the who the wedding witnesses will be and the prevailing problem about my CENOMAR. Just this morning, dad gave me a list of possible wedding witnesses and we decided to pick two.</p>
<p>Now everybody in the house would mostly talk about our wedding. Ate Sharon showed me some really interesting souvenirs and cake designs online while Jelai joined the fun.</p>
<p>I am really excited about <em>my</em> wedding despite the fact that we&#8217;re still facing wedding issues. <img src='http://www.sheenahtan.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Dave was teary-eyed after reading the results of my blood test: POSITIVE. Since that moment, all I heard from him was saving up for our baby, naming our baby, finally settling down, and every positive and verbalized emotion a rookie daddy might have. I was ecstatic.</p>
<p>Being pregnant is not as easy as it seemed. For me, the symptoms were so much worse. On my 3-4th week, I had vomiting, dizziness, flatulence on a regular basis. I wanted atypical foods (yes, raw lumpia wrapper is counted), I had the liking to smell Dave&#8217;s neck, and I lessened my internet activities. I had the difficulty of getting up every morning, I collapsed a lot, which is why I had to quit work (no matter how painful it seemed). </p>
<p>I was emotionally unstable. At times I become depressed. I would just talk to my tummy and say everything&#8217;s going to be alright. My intrapersonal skills were developed.</p>
<p>Last Christmas vacation, I only wanted to see two men: Dave and my cousin Jeremiah. I spent the remaining days of 2009 sleeping and watching TV. I had the fascination for John Cusack and Lady Gaga.</p>
<p>Right now, Dave and I had to make necessary adjustments. I stay in Los Banos, while Dave works in Manila. He goes home here on weekends. As much as I want to go back to Makati I&#8217;m afraid I cannot take care of myself there. I&#8217;m in for homebased jobs.</p>
<p>Yesterday I went to my OB for my second prenatal checkup. The doctor checked the baby via ultrasound. Although the baby&#8217;s still about 10 weeks old, we already saw the heartbeat. The baby is developing his arms and legs. Both excited, Dave and I photocopied the screen-captured baby photo.</p>
<p>I can&#8217;t explain how excited I am on having a baby. The hardship will always be there but it&#8217;s nothing compared to this blessing given to us. <img src='http://www.sheenahtan.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p>Dear Chooks Management,</p>
<p>First of all, thank you. Your product has been driving traffic to my site ever since I posted my <a href="http://www.sheenahtan.com/2009/11/24/food-review-chooks-to-go/">Chooks food review</a>. However, I feel like I&#8217;m in serious trouble because I cannot answer all my readers&#8217; queries about Chooks. I can only share how great your product is, but I cannot tell them the branches or franchise information. Why? Because I simply do not know.</p>
<p>If it isn&#8217;t too much to ask, can you just give me a list of your branches all over the Philippines? You can do so by posting a reply to this blog post, or sending me an email to sheenah(dot)tan(at)gmail(dot)com. That way, more and more people will discover the wonders of your product.</p>
<p>Thank you and more power.</p>
<p style="text-align: right;">Sincerely yours,</p>
<p style="text-align: right;">Sheenah</p>

<p>Mga ateng! Itech na ang Chenelin Awards sa Year of the Ox! Pinaghirapan kez pag-isipan ever kung sinetch ang mga pasok sa banga ng ka-chorvahan! Wit ko na ininclude ang ibang categories since life is so ever changing kaya puno ng ka-echosan! Okay, gorah!</p>
<p>Para sa aking pinaka-bonggang award ever,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Friend of the Year</strong><br />
<em>Kelangan pa bang iexplain yan?</em></p>
<p>1. <strong>Paul Austria</strong> – wit na need ng dako explanations. Si Paul ay matagal ko nang friend. Ang bongga bongga ng photoshoot namin nan noong January, tapos lasing lasing ever sa isang bar habang nagdadance-dance sa ledge. Na-touch ako ever sa kanyang plan nong birthday ko. Kahit busy yan, winner yan!</p>
<p>2. <strong>Mark Simbillo</strong> – here comes breastpren! Feeling ko ang motto nan ay “isang DQ lang ang drama mo”. Wit ko forgets ang pagdala nya ng DQ straight to my office tapos gelato ever. May majoray na surprise din nung birthday ko. Happily ever after na ang life nya pero wit nya ako ignore.</p>
<p>3. <strong>Pam de Leon</strong> – kahit pinaplastik ever ko lang itech (joke lang) at same ang feeling nya sakin (joke lang ulit), majoray na friend tong si Pam. Ang happy happy kausap nito kahit may jutay na bitterness sa blood nya. Usap ever lang kami about boys (hindi men, ha, boys), tapos career, tapos politics, tapos kung anek anek.</p>
<p>4. <strong>Jonas Lopez</strong> – kahit wit ito mareach sa YM (nagpapaka-invisible ata), winner naman kapag nag-SOS ang yours trulily. Bongga ang mga storybells nya about Gundam at anime at Lunduyan (ah Lunduyan… don kami nagkakasundo talaga, as in). Wit nakakalimot mag-tag sa Fezbook pag involved na ang Lunduyan.</p>
<p>5. <strong>Richel Onda</strong> &#8211; kahit wit ko pa itech nami-meet in real life, I can say na Winona Ryder itech pagdating sa mga advice and stuff. Winona din ang pagka-demanding nito, pero keribells lang.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Katext Ever This Year</strong><em><br />
Mga taong wit nauubos ang load at minsanan lang mang-dedma ever.</em></p>
<p>1. <strong>Tat Kaalim</strong> – wit ko na nami-meet ang dyosang itech. Since 2005 katext ever ko na sya, tapos kung anek anek lang ang topics. At present, katext ko parin sya at kung anek anek parin ang pinaguusapan. All hail.</p>
<p>2. <strong>Anthony Malabanan</strong> – wit nauubusan ng load (naka-plan ata) sa kakatext ng “musta na?” Kaso ang yours trulily ay purita mirasol kaya wit palaging load. Majoray ang advices nito at ang mga confessions nya, wit ko minsan keribells!</p>
<p>3. <strong>Jonas Lopez </strong>– graveyard ang shift nito sa pagtetext, pero wit nag-fail magreply. Sya ang nakaka-knows ng aking Lunduyan sentiments at inaabot ng tatlo hanggang apat na regular reloading an gaming text about don.</p>
<p>4. <strong>Dave dela Cruz</strong> – kahit wit pa kami naging kami, bongga na ito magtext sa akin. Ngayong kami na, at kami parin, sya ang hari ng inbox ko, kakatext ng “kain na”, “san ka na?” at mga kadramahan pag may Trojan War (LQ).</p>
<p>5. <strong>Danica Panganiban</strong> – majoray ang gimik nito sa text. Always nagyayaya ng pamatay-atay na inuman, pero wit naman ako pwede mag-fly sa Batangas.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Fumefezbook 2009</strong><br />
Adik sa Facebook? Madaming apps? Kakaimbyerna na minsan ang tagging?</p>
<p>1. <strong>Marvigay Gonzales</strong> &#8211; bongga magreply sa posts, kahit 6 feet under na ang aking post,wit parin nakakaligtas sa kanya.<br />
2. <strong>Jonas Lopez</strong> &#8211; mahilig mag-<em>like</em> at mag-tag ng kanyang Lunduyan churvaloo.<br />
3.<strong> Tracee Alar</strong> &#8211; wit naman n;ya hilig ang mga quizzes at kachorvahan. Wit naman, grabe lang.<br />
4. <strong>Floyd Buenavente</strong> &#8211; madaming pakulo, at mga post ng kung anek anek!<br />
5. <strong>Tat Kaalim</strong> &#8211; kung anek anek ang  pinopost at tina-tag ever pa akez.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Takot sa Karma ng Plurk 2009</strong><em><br />
Disaster ang karma.Pero do&#8217;n lang nagkakatalo.<br />
