Being President Gloria

What if she is really doing a great job and her heart is really in the service of the people? I think I am getting a clear picture how President Gloria feels being the president of the Philippines. But this is not going to be about President Gloria, but about my mom. My mom was elected to be the president of our village. I see all her hard work in putting things in place. She does not have any salary for working. She is mostly out in the office to work, and people always come here to talk to her or get permits. In spite of doing all these things, we always hear bad feedback about her. People always gossip about everything she does. Even if she is not doing anything wrong, there will always be people who tries to spread gossip about her. The worst part is, people working for our religious council are those that keep spreading gossip about her. "People of God" gossips about her. Sometimes, it is really hard to belong in the religion I am in. People who serve in our church are t...

Blessing in Disguise

Due to the volume of calls we receive this week because of the upgrade, I feel so exhausted after work. The stress level is different this week compared to last week, because last week, we barely got calls. It is a fact that during upgrades there are a lot of bugs and our work is to trrrrrooubleshoot, and it is causing a lot of trouble. Hihi. Anyway, there is a typhoon named "Ofel". The rain poured hard last night, but I have to go to work. I still got up on time and took a bath. Just as I was about to go, mom told me that there is flood outside our village, and it would be hard for me to get a ride. I still went out to catch a ride out the village, but my neighbor said, it is better to stay at home. I texted my boss and said I cant make it to work due to flood. It turned out that she just lives in the other village, and she knows there is flood. She even offered to fetch me, but I declined because my shift starts in an hour, and she will go to work 3AM. Hihi. Anyway, I just ...

Large Wraparound Sunglasses

A friend asked me why I always wear sunglasses in the morning, and usually wear those BIG ones! Yeah, not only do I feel that I look good on those, but it actually covers all the eye area from the SUN. Having to wake up at night and be awake all night causes my eyes to feel hurt when it is suddenly exposed to the sun when I go home in the morning. I came across this article that I think will benefit everyone. It is not for fashion's sake that we should wear sunglasses, but for protecting our eyes. The Health Benefits of Wearing Sunglasses Wearing sunglasses not only looks cool, but goes a long way toward protecting the health of your eyes. Sunglasses protect the delicate skin in the eye area from premature signs of aging due to UV rays and sun damage. Your eyes can get damaged by the sun just like your skin. However, you can't protect your eyes with sunscreen like you do your skin. Your only defense is to wear protective UV blocking sunglasses. Eyes regularly exposed to too muc...

Bihira lang ang 24 hours na kainan sa RCBC Tower kaya pag natripan kong kumain, sa Tsoko.Nut ako nagpupunta. Sa 3rd Floor ng RCBC Tower. Ang lagi kong binibili dun ay ang Dinuguan na ubod ng sarap! Hehe! Nung friday night naman, nagpapabili kasi si mama ng dinuguan, kaya natripan ko naman tikman ung "Spaghetti Aligue". Crab yung Aligue, makolesterol siya, pero ubod na sarap talaga! As in! Hehe! Drool over the picture below. :) Spaghetti Aligue

Exciting October

I can't wait for October!!! Dre wanted to have an iPod touch so she asked her boss to buy for her in the U.S. I wanted to have an iPod for myself because when I go to work at night, I always have music to accompany me while on the way. So I asked her to tell her boss buy another iPod for me. hehehe! It will only cost about 10,000+, without shpping and tax. It was a great buy, and it saves me more. I think it costs 13+ here for an 8GB iPod touch. Exciting features are in this version. It is already in the 2nd generation, slimmer, and it has built-in speakers! Wowowowow! Lol! I can't help but drool while browsing in the Apple website, so much excited in the next month. Next month will Dre's boss come back here in the Philippines. Can't wait to own an iPod touch! Waaaaaah!!!

Carabao English

I have been working in a call center for almost two years now. I am now in my second company. Stress level is too high, but I endure the pain, and bear the fruit of high salary. My job now is in line with accounting. I am a senior technical support specialist for an ERP system. Yes, accounting it is! I am a graduate of accounting, but never experienced the "real" accounting job. Anyway, why is my title "Carabao English?". Carabao English are words “Filipinized” in pronunciation and spelling, and subjected to Filipino grammatical rules. (for example, the present tense “Mag-Internet tayo,” the past perfect tense “Nag-Internet ka na?” even a future tense “Mag-Iinternet ako mamaya”). I was kind of irritated when someone from our Development team said I have poor wording when he saw the issue I made for a customer. It was kind of insulting, but then, I just accepted it, and swallowed my pride. It may be because of communication barrier. We sometimes use words that meant ...

Love LOVE Love

by Anonymous What a girl needs most is love. What a guy needs most is respect. The most important thing for a girl is her heart. For a guy its his ego. Give your man his own time and space. Let him have his time for his friends, sports, family, self, and God. The relationship will grow old quickly if lagi kayong magkasama. Give him time to miss you and you'll see how he will love you more. If the guy naman is obsessed and just wants to be with you all the time, tell him you can't respect a "puppy" for long. Do things differently anytime.Para kahit matagal na kayo, there is always something fresh and new. Variety is the spice of life. Exciting baga? Discover something you both like to do and enjoy it TWOgether. Doon naman sa mga bagay na magkaiba ang hilig nyo, compliment each other by learning about it kahit konti. If you love someone, yung effort nyo to try will go a looooong way to understand him later pag may disagreement kayo. Pray with holding han...

Nagbalik

I am going to start blogging again... hihi! This blog is intended to be my online diary, and if ever there are things that affects other people, I apologize in advance. I tend to be impulsive at times, especially when I feel extreme emotions. I will be updating this blog from time to time because I also have a life, and a job. :)

Done

I don’t know why I am so ungrateful of having a job and a big salary. Sa hirap humanap ng trabaho ngayon, tinatamad pa din ako pumasok sa opisina. Malamang dahil sawa na ako sa pagsagot at pagkausap ng mga foreigners sa telepono. Sa tuwing sasagi sa isip ko kung gaano kalaki ang tulong ng sahod ko sa pamilya ko, parang yun na lang ang nagbibigay sa akin ng lakas para ganahan pumasok. Hindi naman ako maluhong tao kaya malaki ang sobra ng sahod ko sa isang kinsenas.  Hirap na talaga ako sa pagpasok ng gabi. Siguro magiging sign lang na kailangan ko na tumigil pag tinawagan ako ng isa sa mga kompanya na pinasahan ko ng resume ko. Balak ko na din kasi na humanap ng trabaho na mainam sa kurso na tinapos ko. Meron pa ring relasyon ang trabaho ko ngayon sa kurso ko dahil support ako ng isang accounting software. Yun nga lang, kailangan kong pumasok ng gabi para magtrabaho. Nakakapagod talaga kasi. Dalawang taon ko nang ginagawa ito. Habang naghihintay ako ng tawag, heto susulat ko ...

I just like to say that JR and I are in our 8th month together!  I can say it is not smooth sailing all the way, but we managed to stay together. I know I have a lot of shortcomings but I try to be the best girlfriend I can be. Hoping that we stay longer, and forever. Thank you JR for sticking by me, and for being my partner. I am blessed to have you. kahit pasaway akong tunay...

It's the start of the "Ber" months

Do you hear the Christmas Bells ringing? How about the Christmas jingles? Time is really running so fast, 115 days to go and it is Christmas once again. Time for festivities, and pigging out, and gift-giving. I am really looking forward for this day. I want to be the first to greet everyone, MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Something to Touch our Hearts

...written by a Father to his child. TO MY CHILD Just for this morning, I am going to smile when I see your face and laugh when I feel like crying. Just for this morning, I will let you choose what you want to wear and smile and say how perfect it is. Just for this morning, I am going to step over the laundry and pick you up and take you to the park to play. Just for this morning, I will leave the dishes in the sink, and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together. Just for this afternoon, I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off, and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles. Just for this afternoon, I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream and whine for the ice cream truck, and I will buy you one if he comes by. Just for this afternoon, I won't worry about what you are going to be when you grow up, or second guess every decision I have made where you are concerned. Just for this afternoon, I will let you help me bake cookies, a...
