EXCITED MUCH

.
.
15 days from now, Mi Amore will have his 28th birthday.

And I am so excited to celebrate it with his family.

Every year, we make sure that we celebrate it with his family as we are always busy with our work.

This time, we will held the celebration at his Aunt's house in Antipolo.

Oooh, can't wait, can't wait.

This leads me to thinking what present to give for Mi Amore.

Oh well, I still have 15 days to rummage the mall.

Craving for this...................

INGENIOUS FILM

.
.
I never get to share my thoughts about this film. I am not a professional critic though, bilang mahadera lang (hehe!).

The Main Cast:

Robert Downey - Sherlock Holmes
Jude Law - Dr. John Watson
Rachel McAdams - Irene Adler

I like this movie not just because The "Yummy" Jude Law was on the movie, but also because of it's interesting twists at the middle of the film. The casts portrayed their characters very well especially Robert Downey. Being the Iron Man, he definitely nailed it. The story was very nifty even on the smallest details.

My favorite part was when Robert Downey uncovered all of Mark Strong (Blackwood) self-proclaimed superpowers were all a sham. The scriptwriter and the producer must have rummaged the net for the medical and chemical terminologies and definitions used in the film.


Ingenious indeed!


I recommend you watch this movie. =D

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES

.
.
Oh how I miss this.


As I've mention prior to this post, I've been promoted which made my tight schedule more tight than ever.


Well, my promotion has its advantages and disadvantages. Let me enumerate it for you.


Advantages:

1. One of the advantages is that, my signature now is one of the most important signature when it comes to our department. It's like I'm a celebrity, pirma dito, pirma doon. Everywhere I go. Hahaha. Wala lang.

2. I have now the power to make some rules, not that I am demanding or whatsoever, I just want things to be done purrfectly. In short, I'm a perfectionist and a very organized person. I want everything in their respective places.

3. I can now do whatever I want to do, whenever I want to. (Joke! hahaha!)

4. Increase in salary. Before my salary was just Php *bleep*, now its Php *bleep*. I can actually buy my dream car now (financing siyempre).

5. My promotion did overhauled my personality. From being just working because I have to work, to woking because I love my work. Now, I'm beginning to enjoy my work. Maybe because from the very first time, this is really what I wanted. I also get to learn how to have more patience and self-confidence.

Disadvantages:

1. There is just only one disadvantage. You see, my position now requires my full supervision so I have to stay late everyday just to make sure the operation was smoothly done until the very last details.



Summing it all up, my promotion did a major modification on my perspective in life and career.

WHAT???

.

.

What!? Is it really a month since my last post?

Well, my promotion made my blog super outdated.

But, no worries.

I got it all on my diaries.

And when I find time to blog (kailan kaya??) , I'll post it all at the same time.

Hayzzz.....

IPHONE VS BLACKBERRY

.

.

It's been two months, but until now I can't decide what phone to buy.

I've been eyeing these two beauties.....

IPHONE

Isn't a beauty? Heaven Lawd!

Not to mention the features and the specs.

But there's just so many negative feedback I've been hearing about this beauty lately.




BLACKBERRY

 

 It is so simple yet stylish. Almost has the same features with Iphone.

 But it's quite big and heavy.

I already have the budget but I'm torn.

I want BB as much as I want Iphone.

Maybe I can buy BB then I'll just buy Ipod Touch.

Or maybe, I'll buy Iphone instead...... or Blackberry...

Torn. Torn. Torn.

Vote now!!

TINTIN

.

.

I personally love dogs. Actually, my whole family does. We love how they brighten our day. They're like clowns during day time and guardian during night time. They are like family to us so we don't treat them like a dog should be treated. In our home in Makati, we had countless dogs. We had stray dogs, half-breed and pure breed dogs. See? We just love dogs...

TTintin, a stray dog (but I think she has the blood of a Siberian husky) has the longest stay in our family. Eleven years, I think. We didn't train her but she acts like she was professionally trained. She can follow simple commands like sit, stand, lie down and can do tricks also such as fetch and jump over a stick. I remember how she loves the way I brush her teeth every after bath. She also loves taking a bath, maybe because she knows that after, it's playtime for her and her buddy, SPOT.

Tintin was such a smart dog. She was the sweetest and most compassionate dog we ever had. Compassionate I say, because whenever I have problems, she was like my confidante. Weird?Yes, but dogs are really good listeners and Tintin was. I miss how she just satres at me, listening while I stroke her fur with my finger.

I know it's weird but when you found yourself having no one to talk to about your problems you turn on to someone who just listens.

Tintin died because of old age.

I just miss her...

No, I don't have problems right now, and even if I do, I have Mi Amore to listen.

BABY SAM

 .

.

Just like Tintin, Sam, a pure black Labrador, was one of my precious dogs.

Mi Amore gave Sam as a gift for me for Valentine's Day last year.

Labradors was known to be very active, energetic and smart breed of dogs. That's why you may notice that most of the canine that are used in police operations or guard/guide dogs are Labradors.

But Sam was different. We knew he was special. He was too active, too energetic and too smart. When he was on his first month, he sleeps besides me on my bed. On his second month, he was big enough to consume almost half of my bed so I decided to let him sleep on my niece's unused plastic bath tub. When he was three months, geez, he was almost as big as a one year old stray dog, so I asked my cousin to build a cage for him. But the cage was not  a good idea because he was growing bigger in just a matter of weeks, so I just decided to let him stay on our stock room at the back of our house.

Come May, my Kuya decided to hold the birthday celebration of Sasha in a private pool in Laguna. Nad and I decided to bring Sam with us and from there; we learned that Labradors, even not trained, can swim really good. (after everyone was out of the pool, I make sure that the guard is out of sight, I let go of Sam, and bam. Sam's really a good swimmer than me). On his fourth month, Nad and I decided that it's time that Sam go out and have fun, so we brought him to Boni High Street, in front of Honda and there, he runs as if there's no tomorrow. We do it every MWF after office work.

On his fifth month with us, a VERY VERY bad news came. It turned our lives upside down that until now, we suffer. It made Sam suffered too.

If we only knew how to handle it all at the same time, Sam would still be with us.

Unfortunately, he wasn't with us anymore.

My mom told me that night when he left us, maybe he wasn't meant to be with us because he was special.

Sam was too special that God could only give him the special care and love that he deserves.

But God knows how much we love him. If only I could turn back time. But I know I cant'.

We miss you Baby Sam....

You will stay forever in our hearts....

DECISION MAKING

;

;

Here I am again.

Torn.

But I have to make a decision.

A decision that may affect people around me.

This has been a major factor for me being "LUTANG" this past few days.

Should I really do this? I know that when I did, it will be positive for me, but negative for some (I think!).

I'm not like this before. I'm not the type that will consider EVERY person's opinion when it comes to decision making. I've been a nice and considerate individual for quite some time now. So considerate that I thought of every single person's opinions before coming up with a reasonable decision. .

Like what I'm doing right now. I have this thing going on in my head for three months, to be exact. This is really hard for me especially the "person" whom I think that will have greater impact with all of these is one nice person.

But what can I do? I deserve it too, at least they told me I do!

Crap!

I hate this. 

I just want to be happy. I just want what's best for my life and career. They say "Opportunity knocks only once" so shall I grab this opportunity? Can I bear the fact that some will have a not so good reaction? Or shall I let this pass? And just be a good person instead?

I really need to decide now before it's too late or else I'll regret this for the rest of my life.

LAZY. AGAIN AND AGAIN.

.

.

Yesterday, I received a text message from Curves asking me when will I go back to work-out to which I replied, "I'm sorry, I'm busy, but I promise I'll find time to work-out".

I lied!

I am not busy. I am just LAZY!

Hahaha!

Oh sheez.

I know that this is not good.

I've been lazy for the past two weeks.

You may notice even on my blog. I don't blog like this. I make sure that I write everyday about everything. But because I've been sluggish in everything I do, I can't even think of a good and interesting post. Not that I don't have anything to share, I have lots actually, it's just that I don't know how or where to start.

Last night as I was on my bed, pen on my right hand, diary on my left, I tried to collect my thoughts so that I could write a meaningful and interesting post here on my blog. But I failed. My pen didn't even touch the paper of my diary. =(

Now, I am very disappointed with myself letting this laziness overpower me. Hope this will end soon or else I will be doomed!

LAZY AGAIN.......

CRAP!!!

FRIENDS FOREVER

.

.

JO - Joanna

AIK - Lerika

HON-Honneylynne

During college days, we three are inseparable. We are always together, as in always!. You'll barely  see me walking, eating, doing homework, shopping and malling without the two in tow and vice versa. We are best of friends in short.

Here are some photos of us during college days....

Location: Saint Vincent Building

               Adamson University

When: After Graduation Day

Who: Aik, ME and Hon

What: "Waiting for our Alumni I.D."

Location : Cardinal Santos Building

When : No Idea!

Who: Hon, ME, Buddy of Eraserheads and Aik

What: "Rock Concert with a cause"

After graduation, Aik and I got a job from a call center (People Support) and Hon on SM Main Office. But it doesn't stop us from seeing each other, not often as before though.

After a year, I transferred from a call center to automotive industry (Ford Global City), Aik chose to stay in People Support. So we three have now different jobs in different companies. But as I've said , we're best of friends that even we don't see each other, we still stayed in touch.

Currently, Aik is now working in Singapore, Hon, who's now married and soon to be a mom, is still in SM, and me here in Ford Global City. But despite the distance, we make sure that we still talk every now and then. Thanks to Facebook and Yahoo Messenger!

Then last January 2, we had our reunion, with Lem (Aik's BF). We first had a snack in Yellow Cab, Lem's treat. After, I dragged them to Cyberzone from which I found and bought a perfect purse for my Vaio. One hour pass, I treated them with Blizzards from Dairy Queen.

We had so much that we didn't notice it's time to go home. Time really does flies. It seems that it was just minutes ago that we said "HI" and now, "BYE". Sad. =(

I missed them so much that I wanted to hug them and cry. Tell them. let's not go home yet. But it's really time to go home. Hon needs to go home to her husband, Aik needs to be with her family before she go back to Singapore.

We are now back to our normal lives.

One year.

One year to wait before we can have quality time again.

I miss you guys already!

Let's do this again next year.

See you soon.

FINALLY FOUND

.

.

I've been looking for a simple yet stylish laptop purse.

And just last week, the same day that I, Aik and Hon had our reunion (this is another story), I found this..........

It's from HALO Mobile Clothing. (Megamall, 4th floor, Cyberzone Building B). They offer varieties of laptop and cellphone accessories.

This just cost me Php 350.00

Cheap? I know, right. It has good quality too.

It's reversible too!

Just what I wanted and needed.

THIS IS BAD!!

.
.
I am feeling LAZY. Again.

My oh my!

This happens every time. Every time! From being VERY VERY busy......... VERY busy......... just busy....normal....... then LAZY. I don't know why, but this has been a habit of me which is very BAD. 

Why Bad?

Bad because I tend not to do my normal load in a normal sequence. You see, in my work I have daily load to toil on so that I won't cram on Mondays for the weekly reports. But now, that laziness loomed in my body and mind as well, I can't focus on my work. Worst is, I ended up doing nothing ( not TOO nothing, though).

Crap, this is bad, really bad.

WHERE TO CELEBRATE??

.
.
This is giving me headaches lately.

But, gives excitement and happYness at the same time.

Our 3rd Year Anniversary is coming soo fast that I don't know where to start anymore.

Where to go?

What to do?

When to leave?


You see, it is NOT easy to arrange a vacation trip. Location, hotels, booking of flights, permission from work and last but not the least, BUDGET.

I have to consider the BUDGET first, before anything else.

Well, we actually agreed on the maximum budget. Now my problem is LOCATION.

PALAWAN (El Nido) , BORACAY and BOHOL are on our top list.



Why PALAWAN? - First, because of this photo

Oh how private and romantic!

Imagine, Me and Mi Amore having lunch or dinner here.

My oh My!

Second - We love to see and explore the underwater here by Scuba Diving.

BUT, our budget is too exact that we might end up buying nothing for our family, pasalubongs, you know. Sad.

Why BORACAY? - 

Because and only because we have'nt been there yet.

and lastly,

Why BOHOL? - First, we want to see personally the Tarsiers and the famous Chocolate Hills.

Second - it has many landmarks to go to .

Lastly, it' more cheaper compare to the other two (means more pasalubong!).

See my dilemma here?

Aaargghhh...

Hope I could arrange this as soon as possible.

BOOKWORM

..

I love to read.

 Newspapers, magazines, books and whatever reading materials, you name it.

When I was in elementary and high school, I remember going home almost every day with a book borrowed from our library. Even in my college days, my friends knew where to find me whenever I’m nowhere in sight. I love to make “tambay” in a library, where thousands of books are very inviting and enticing to read.


Whenever I’m having a hard time getting sleep, I just grab a book from my shelf and read till I fall asleep. And even the power is out, I just light a big candle beside my bed then, PRESTO! Read, read and read till I pass out. Hahaha =)

In short, BOOKWORM.


Here are the photos of some of my fave books.......
 

 

 

 

 

 

Twilight Saga.....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Michael Crichton - NEXT
 
William Pene Dubois - The Twenty One Balloons
 
Stress Free Life
 
 

 

  

 

 

 
 


  Final Destination Books..


 







 
As you can see, I read different type of books.


Oh well, who doesn't love books, right?


books, books, books..

LUCKY 20

.
.
Every 20th of the month, (yes, we do celebrate monthsaries) Nad and I make sure that we have time for each other on our special day. We don't celebrate too much of course, dinner is enough. It's either dinner outside, my home or his home. We're simple like that. We don't exchanged gifts, except Christmas.

Anyway, one time (I think t'was last Feb 09) we had dinner in Kenny Rogers (see, simple di ba?). We fall in line to order. The girl just gave us the drinks first and the meal will be just serve by the waiter. So she gave us a number.

What number?

here..............

TWENTY (english)

VEINTE (spanish)

 
 

Love, Love, Love!!!

FOOLING AROUND

.
.
I remembered one time, when I was working overtime in Ford, Mi Amore started scribbling something on my left shoulder using my red ballpen.

He does it when he gets bored of waiting for me. He fools around me or do something that might irritate or annoy me, though I find it cute..... and sweet. (papansin ba?! hehe) He just wants my FULL attention. (nyaha!)

Anyhow,

I just wanted to share his OBRA.

Is the drawing looks familiar to you?

Hahaha!

Yes, It's the picture from Jack n Jill Pretzels Chocolate Sticks Carton. We are currently eating Pretzels that time.

Isn't cute?

Admit it, he's good. 

FULL ATTENTION, ACQUIRED!

=)

MISSING SASHA

.
.
I miss my niece, Sasha.

They went on vacation in Pangasinan.

Our house seems to be quiet when she's not around.

She's okay now, by the way. Her mouth sores are gone. Good.


sheeezz....




I miss her smile...

I miss her laugh...

I miss her scream....

I miss her dancing....

and singing too...

GOING GREEN

.
.
Aside from black, green is one of my favorite colors. I like the way it compliment other colors. It also relaxes my eyes. In fact, there's a study that if your eyes are tired, just try to stare a couple of minutes on a green wall (light green preferably) it actually soothes and relaxes the nerves in your eyes.


Anyhoo,

Last tuesday, when I came home, my Mom changed my bedsheet and my pillowcases.

And guess what,

Oh yes! It's green!

And I'm looooving it.

Even my curtain is green.

Now, whenever I come home, I'm sure I will be relaxed and free from stress.

=)

Got to love green.............

BUSY MUCH

.
.
Oh my!


I've been very busy with my work for almost a week now.


I always come home late.


Aaarrrrggghhhh.


Now I'm cramming.


Got to write..........


write............


write............

FIRST POST!!!

.

.

Yes!

This is my first post for 2010.

As of this very moment, I am currently eating. (I won't tell you what's on my plate, kakahiya) hahaha!

Anyhoo, after all of these "New year thing", reality check. Two Business Plannings ahead.


Huwaaaat?!


Sheeeez..


I am so..... I don't know.


Well, that's LIFE.


I have to work to buy me what I want.


Of course I enjoy working, but sometimes when workload is too much, STRESS loomed.

Wait..

This first post is supposedly happy, isn't it?


Oh well, can't blame me... this is really what I feel right now.


Just want to be honest and besides, I am so tired to think of what to write, hello? it's 1:48am.


Maybe later afternoon. I'll try to blog about what happened tonight.


by the way,


Goodbye 2009


and

Welcome 2010
