I havent posted the wedding pics yet and some of our pics from our recent trips. My friend will be the one to do that but he is also busy. So, just wait and see. I hope you will visit my HP from time to time to check. I will post too the 1st scan of our baby...he's so cute, just over 6mm in length. Pls watch out for it and share my joy as a new mom.

My husband has been very supportive, sweet and caring all these times. I couldnt believe he could even double all those qualities now that im pregnant. How i admire him and thank God for him. My in laws are so sweet too...Cryst is very excited. He will be celebrating his first father's day this coming june 16. hehehehehehehe

(May 2, 2002...4:07pm) I have been sooooooooo busy at work and we have been travelling quite a lot lately that is why i havent had time to update my page. Last March 16 &17, My husband cryst and me went to watch FORMULA 1 at Sepang Circuit. It was a really tiring experience...and it was quite sad that Michael Schumacher was just 3rd place...how i hate BMW Williams on these days....hehehehehe

Last March 29 to 31, we were off to Langkawi Island in Kedah. I just love Langkawi. We spent the holy week there. But before our flight at 1pm, we were still able to do Stations of the Cross at St. Ignatius in the morning. The beach was clean and it was private, the more i enjoyed it bec. of that...on our second day, we rented a car and toured around the island...it was shopping time too (wow, my favorite part of the trip!!!) I had a lot of pics taken which i would be posting here too. We just followed the map and went to all the historical places and tourist attractions. People there are so friendly and it was really cheap there...its a duty free island. On our flight back home, it was raining so hard in KL...so, we had a difficulty in landing...that was the worst flight i ever had....knowing me, i have motion sickness. But thank God we were able to get back home safely.

Come April 5, we went to Singapore to meet up with Cryst's cousin Rodgie and his wife Tina. I was able to shop again...the Esprit stores there at that time was storewide 50% off on almost all items...Cryst and I had drinks in clark quay (our favorite night place in singapore). Then, we fetched Rodgie and Tina at Lucky Plaza, Orchard to have lunch at Suntec City. Tina was so sweet to give me Goldilocks Macaroons, cookies and polvoron!!! I miss goldilocks so much. After that meeting on April 7, we went back to KL already. It was a tiring weekend but a really enjoyable one...

(March 18, 2002...3:25pm) Pardon me for not being able to update my page for 2 months. I have been very preoccupied with my job when i got back to KL to impress my boss!!! I was in manila for a month long vacation and I needed to make it up to him and to my colleagues as well for doing my tasks while i was away spending my time with my family and friends in manila :-)

It was quite easy for me to adjust to married life. I get home a little earlier than my husband then i prepare dinner for him. I have a lot of recipe books and recipes from the internet that i refer to. I wanted to do everything i could to be a good wife to cryst when i get home. I am just lucky, my husband is very appreciative and easy to please.

Another great news.....Cryst got promoted to Production Manager by early february!!! His hard work and dedication to his job paid off. We thank god for all his blessings to us. Despite his additional responsibilities and much more busy sched, he makes sure he always have time for me during weekends.

WE WATCHED F1 RACE LAST MARCH 16 & 17 AT SEPANG!!! It was soaring hot....i was quite uncomfortable during the qualifying last sat. But Michael S. got the pole position, it was very exciting. Come the day of the race itself...i brought my IKEA chair and my big red umbrella (red for ferrari) with matching sunblock application every hour. I didnt get to see much action in the tracks, i was quite preoccupied with taking care of my skin. hehehehehe. But it was indeed a very enjoyable day (even though michael s. was just third...he still did his best, that is fine with me). That was a fun day for me, but i bet...cryst enjoyed more!

We are off to Phuket, Thailand at the end of the month. I hope this trip would push through....i still have to convince my boss to allow me to go on leave even just for a few days. wish me luck!!! hehehehehe

(January 4, 2002) Please watch out for my wedding pics very soon. I will be posting it a few days from now....I am now Mrs. Aileen Dagta-Perez....a separate link will be put up about my wedding which was held last December 29, 2001 at St. Alphonsus Mary de Ligouri,Magallanes Village, Makati City. Reception was held afterwards at The Heritage Hotel, Manila.

We spent the new year in Baguio with Cryst's family. A post reception was also held last January 1, dinner time. As expected, we really had a great time there. But time flies so fast and we needed to go back to KL to work again (sigh!) I'll be missing manila so much :-(

(December 20,2001) "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire"....wow, its christmas time again!!! I am not in the mood to work anymore....im already in a longggg holiday mood! Mitch visited me here in KL last December 17...it was really nice to see him just before his wedding. We had so much fun...Mitch, Jessie, Cryst & myself...medyo bitin ang kuwentuhan cause we need to go to work on daytime. He is now on his way back to Singapore. We are planning to go to Phuket, Thailand this coming Chinese New Year!

(December 13,2001) Christmas time is fast approaching, it is actually my favorite time of the year. Im excited about this coming holidays, i have a lot of things to look forward to. I am still working on losing 10lbs, i dont know how soon that's gonna happen but im not in a hurry. Cryst is very much into basketball for more than a month now. We both try to keep fit always :-) Im not done with my christmas shopping yet, still very much busy at work. I wish everybody happy holidays and more blessing for the coming new year!!!

(November 16,2001) It was my mom's 54th bday yesterday. Im a little sad.It's quite hard to be away from family...But of course i called her to greet her. My dad turned 55 last nov 6. This is their first birthday that i wasnt around to celebrate it with them. I really miss them a lot.

(October 31, 2001) It's so boring here in the office. Im not doing anything, I already visited the sites i like. I wish it would be weekend again! Cryst and other pinoys here play basketball at SS3 every saturday. After which we go on swimming, then malling....I love saturdays....it is the time to do the things we love doing and time for bonding :-)

(October 26, 2001) Cryst is in Penang today :-( He has just been away for half a day but i miss him a lot already....

(October 25, 2001) I feel healthier and stronger now. I have been sick on and off last month. Since i am okay now, im back to my work out regimen. Wish me luck on my goal to lose 10 more lbs!

Cryst is into basketball again!!!! His last check up and lab tests show he is free from hyperthyroidism....I thank God for all his blessings. Every little thing in my life is a gift from him :-)

(October 8, 2001) I have just been to Manila for a week vacation!!!! It was a very busy, tiring yet enjoyable time of my life. Seeing my parents, relatives and good friends really made me feel complete. I guess i gained some lbs bec. my mom cooks well and all our meals were sumptous filipino dishes.

I had a great time with the weirdos last October 3! Ghen and mark were the first ones to arrive. Lotty (miraculously) made it! hehehehehe. Elle was late but she was the sweetest person to me that night. Bheng just arrived from Sydney but went straight to dencio's to be with us all. I was able to meet Noni (lotty's honey) too. Jun was there....before the night ended, Cristy called us from Vancouver. After dinner, we went to a videoke and sang our hearts out. I was so happy to be with them once more....grabe, ang saya sa manila. di ko talaga ipagpapalit ang Manila kahit kailan :-)

(September 28, 2001) The day before i left for manila...i went out with my officemates to celebrate MC's bday. We had dinner at Souled Out. Cryst came late and picked me up after dinner. We needed to go home early so we can pack our things. The new york cheesecake in Souled out (by Celicakes) was very nice and smooth....next week, we will go to Alexis, Bangsar for dessert :-)

(September 17, 2001) I had a good weekend. Last saturday, i went to SOULED OUT in desa sri hartamas with Cryst. Their choco hazelnut cake was really good! After which, we went to grocery (this is a normal chore to do). Then yesterday, we went to pasar pagi in Mon't Kiara and the stuff there are really nice and cheap. We later on proceeded to MABA.....Philippines won gold (XXI Seagames in Kuala Lumpur) in the Men's Basketball!!! It was such an exciting game, there were a lot of filipino supporters, that alone is enough to boost the morale of our athletes :-)

It was quite a tiring weekend and bad news, im sick again. I really shouldnt be stubborn and i really need to rest because now i know, my body hasnt fully recovered yet.

(September 12, 2001) I feel a little better now. I've been sick for quite sometime and it was really difficult being ill and alone. At times like that, i wish my mother is here with me or im home with her. Good thing cryst is back to Malaysia. He brought me to the hospital, accompanied me in all the testings conducted and patiently took care of me (im very much ill tempered when im sick!!!) I think i need to rest more so I will be back on my feet again soon :-)

(September 7, 2001) It's our 15th month anniversary today! I dont know what's in store for us but we'll definitely see each other later. He is now back from Hyderabad!!! I was so happy to see him yesterday. We had dinner at Momo (japanese restaurant) in centerpoint bandar utama and later on had coffee. Things between us just get better each day....super love ko talaga si honey ko :-)

(September 5, 2001) It was Cryst's birthday yesterday. So sad, he is not back yet. I really miss my honey.....as soon as he is back, we'll make up to each other.....im excited now and really looking forward to see him again :-)

(August 31, 2001, 8:30pm) It's a long weekend here...I was supposed to be in Bangkok but my honey is now is india for a business trip. It's so boring here, wish time would fly so fast so i will be back to manila again!

(August 24, 2001...2:20pm) Cryst is now back to KL. He went to Manila for a business trip for a couple of days. The weather was so bad so he wasnt able to go on gimmicks, and just confined himself in Shangrila hotel....hehehe. I really missed him a lot when he was away! That's why, we see to it that we always make it up to each other.We always find time for each other..Last night, we had dinner at Kuala Lumpur Golf & Country Club with his colleagues. The thai restaurant there is fantastic! I enjoyed so much.

It's friday!!! TGIF!!!! Im quite excited about the weekend, i would be able to relax and sleep long...i always have busy and tiring weekdays, that is why weekend is something i really look forward to!!!

(August 9, 2001) Cryst and me celebrated our 14th month anniversary last tuesday (aug. 7). i met up with him at Desa Sri Hartamas. We had dinner at secret recipe, played 9ball billiards at "the pool bar" then eat again at the strudels a little later because my honey got hungry. my god! he is now 73kgs (compared to 59kgs when he got here in KL). We see each other daily so even if its just more than a year of being together...it seems like....ages! or it seems like forever?!!! I love him so much, i adore him. I have never been so happy like this in my life before.

(July 30, 2001) My new favorite hangout is at Mon't Kiara in KL....they have a couple of classy and good restaurants and even have some coffee shops in the vicinity. The area is not crowded and i really love going there considering cryst's office is located in that area also (hehehehehe). My 2nd favorite now is Sri Hartamas, anything you need/want...you'll find it there....good food, yummy desserts, billiards, bars, spa, beauty haven and even internet cafes (im a certified addicted to the net...oh this is just bec. i need to get in touch with my loved ones hehehehe). My third favorite is Bangsar area....Alexis cafe has the best tiramisu in town....and i also love their double chocolate silk cake...whew! calories!!! but who cares? its really worth to give in to that temptation hehehhehe

Cryst will be going back home to Manila a few weeks from now for a business trip. Then late part of august, he needs to go to France....he has not left yet but im quite sad now because things are not the same without him around.

(Written on July 3, 2001) Just been to Singapore over the weekend with my honey! We explored the city, oh well... cryst was able to make me walk for 10 - 13 kms.....i really enjoyed it there, there are malls everywhere!!! Our lunch in lucky plaza was sumptous....pork barbeque, monggo and bangus! i even had bico...these are the things i really miss most about home, yummy and non-halal foods...hehehehe!!! Had a lot of pork siomai and pao too!!! We had drinks at clark quay (along the side of the singapore river)....then later on went to hooters with mitch, marvin and erniel....It was a very tiring yet another wonderful vacation with my honey. I will be posting the pics very soon, so watch out for it!!!

(Written on June 18, 2001) I really had a great time on my 25th bday which was last saturday. My bestfriend mitch came over to visit me. Cryst cooked a fabuluous lunch for all of us. After which, we went on swimming. Then later on had dinner at 1957 Bistro in Sri Hartamas. Their salmon is absolutely terrific!!! Trust my taste buds...heheheheheh. We proceeded to shang-rila hotel KL's 'The Pub' to have a drink or two. It was kinda boring so we hopped to Crossroads in Concorde Hotel KL. It was a filipino band who's performing that night and it was really, really fun. We stayed up to the last set and got back at almost 4am the next day. It was so tiring yet a very enjoyable time for us. I had a hangover and i woke up 7pm the next day. hehehehehehehe!

(Written June 12, 2001) Cryst and me celebrated our first year anniversary last June 7....he gave me a white gold earrings with diamond stud as his present. It was so sweet of him! hehehehe. We met up after office hours and went to Friday's Restaurant at Subang Jaya, Selangor. After a nice dinner, went to coffee bean. I am so blessed to have cryst in my life. I love him so much. God gave him to me at a perfect time. I feel so lucky he loves me back so much too! :-)

(Written May 10, 2001 at 5:40pm) Today is a very special day because it is the 32nd wedding anniversary of my mom and dad!!!! This is the first time i wasn't around to celebrate it with them. We used to have a really good dinner yearly for this. I called them to greet them. I miss my parents terribly. I have appreciated them more now that i live on my own.

Cryst flew off to Singapore yesterday (may 9) for a business trip. He will be back on weekend. Wish i have the luxury of time to go with him everytime he travels but im saving all my leave for december...i am scheduled to go home to Phils on 22nd of dec. I will be spending the holidays there, my sister is coming home too. And i will be staying a little longer to attend Mitch and Hazel's Wedding.

(Written May 3, 2001 at 10:15am) I have been very busy with a lot of things lately. I haven't updated my page for quite a while now. Nothing much is new with me, except that I am into working out (again?!!!) recently, doing aerobic exercises, brisk walking, swimming (if my sched permits me), im more into healthy foods now ( i eat a lot of veggies lately)....i am very much determined to shed a few more pounds (hehehehe). Something is coming up? Not so soon though, but once everything is ready....ill break off the good news to all of you...hehehehhe

(Written on April 19, 2001 at 4:46pm) Cryst got back here in KL last april 10. I was so happy to see him and be with him. 1 week seemed like forever. Though he is really damn busy with his job...we see to it that we still get the chance to spend quality time with each other. Last Night we went out for dinner and after which, we had coffee at Dome, KLCC. It was just a short time (cause we have to hurry back home, it's a weekday and there is work the next day) but i really enjoyed so much last night.

I just want to share a terrible experience in Gloria Jean's Cafe in KL. We were at KLCC last April 14 and we decided to try out other cafe's other than starbucks, dome, coffee bean, etc. We hopped in gloria jean's cafe. I ordered cafe latte' (my favorite) and cryst chose cookies n cream cold drink. Believe me, IT WAS THE WORST COFFEE I HAVE EVER TASTED (not to mention it was quite expensive). it was so bitter, not creamy and really bland. I tried adding non-fat milk or sugar but either way did not work. So, trust my taste buds....don't ever ever try Gloria Jean's Cafe, you will surely regret it.

(Written on April 2, 2001 at 1:25pm) Cryst flew off to singapore then to manila yesterday. He needed to fix some papers in manila. Tomorrow, he is off to see his family in Baguio. Then Thursday he will be flying to singapore, then to KL, and go straight to India. He will be back to KL on tuesday. I miss him so much...I wish he would hurry back soon.

(*Written on March 27, 2001 at 8:37am) I am so happy today!!!! Cryst already got a job!! He would be working on a start up company based in KL as a production engineer. He is one of the pioneers and is tasked to set up the whole factory. He has a big, big chance to be promoted as the production / plant manager at once. He would be travelling much (to India, Europe, Singapore and Philippines). I am so thankful to God that He gave it to us this time. This was long prayed for and hoped for and it just came at the perfect time, God's own time.

(*Written March 19, 2001 at 1:37pm) WE WATCH F1 RACE AT SEPANG CIRCUIT YESTERDAY!!!! It took us more than an hour to get to the place, it was so hot...the track's temperature was 44C and the air temp was 33+++C, just imagine that. We were both wearing red shirts and ferrari cap just like the rest of the crowd . No food and drinks allowed inside, but when we were trying to buy from there, no more food available!! Oh my, we were starving, sweating and feeling so uncomfortable. But when the race started, it was really exciting. Each moment was electrifying, especially when ferrari won!!!

It was such a wonderful experience despite all the hardships we have encountered just to get to that race, hehehehehehe. Cryst long wanted to watch an F1 race, I am glad i shared that special moment with him. I am now a certified ferrari fan!

(*Written Feb 26, 2001 at 5:37pm) CRYST, MY HONEY....GOT HERE LAST FEB 2!!!! yiiiiipeeeeeee! it was such a very exciting experience fetching him at KLIA. My heart just beats faster and faster esp. when i knew that his plane has landed already. It took him more than 30mins to check out....i started having watery eyes because i thought there were some problems on the immmigration because he has an open ticket. You know what happened? THE CONVEYOR WAS BUSTED (oh! that is a common thing to happen in klia). I approached some airport officer already, when i suddenly saw him walking on his way out....oh my! i really ran after him and shouted "cryst....honey"! it's like a scene in the movie (hehehehe) but i tell you...that was one of the most romantic moment i've ever experienced in my entire life :-)

It is so good to have my honey around. He is staying somewhere in Taman Jaya which is 45 mins away from my place. Having been away from him is the worst thing i have ever experienced, really! I love cryst so much and I dont want to be away from him anymore, ever!

(February 9-11, 2001) I have just been to Singapore with my honey. We met Marvin, Erneil and Mitch at WTC. After having breakfast, we took a ferry going to Batam, Indonesia. Turi hotel and Batam View Beach Resort are my favorites there. The view is very nice....the food tastes great and the people are warm & friendly. Tampico Mexican Pub in Novotel Hotel is a quite okay too. Siyempre wala pa ring tatalo sa mga bars and clubs diyan sa pinas! Mitch, thanks so much for accomodating us last weekend. Kain uli tayo ng pari pepes pero not to spicy next time ha? hehehehehe

I liked Singapore much. For shopaholics like me, you have to be well prepared when you go there. Food, drinks, and uhmmmm, almost everything is expensive in singapore. But i was able to buy mallows, hiro and choco crunchies on a filipino store at lucky plaza. I miss those cookies. I would really look for the filipino store located in KL on weekend.

(April 2000) I had a great long weekend! My family went on a "bisita iglesia" last Maundy thursday from Paranaque to Lipa, Batangas. It felt good because we felt God's presence in our lives more. I really prayed hard and thanked him for his endless, abundant blessings to me and my family.

Our family, tita norma (my mom's bestfriend),lotty (my awesome friend) went to a beach in Laiya, Batangas last Black saturday. We had so much fun, we really enjoyed every moment of our stay there. We ate a lot, talked a lot, laughed a lot, enjoyed a lot :-) Im glad lotty went with us.... we went home the night of Easter Sunday. It was a very tiring yet an unforgettable experience for us :-)

I had just been to baguio last May 11 to May 14, 2000. I had a great time there! Cryst, my honey and former officemate, showed us around. His family has been so nice to us . I loved Brewyard a lot!!! I learned billiards there too. Though, i will never forget when i fell in front of the stores of mine's view and had a sprain. And also the dog! oh my god cryst, thanks for saving my life!!!! hehehehehhehe

Just been to baguio (again!!!!) last June 9 to 12, 2000, it was a long weekend. As expected,it was such an awesome experience!

(2nd week of June 2000) 'Been so busy at school with my teaching class and graduate studies. I don't have that much free time anymore, and if i do, i just spend it talking heart to heart with my friends. Not much gimmick lately, i guess i have to wait till our term break huh!
