I never thought I could write about this...

BEWARE:

"DON'T LET YOURSELF FALL FOR THE WRONG GUY...."

Yung first part ng post, - naipost ko sya because an old friend...a past memory, a long lost secret love....asked me out lately lang through YM. I don't know if it's romantic in nature pero kahit na - parang inappropriate. Lagi naman syang ganyan eh, he would usually buzz me and flirt. Nakakatawa kasi di naman kami ganun mag-usap before. He would normally joke na magpakasal na kami...kung tanggap ko raw ba sya...and lagi nya akong inaaya lumabas. SIguro wala nga syang ibang makasama and he wants to have someone na sasamahan sya gumimik ... I always say yes and we would normally agree to meet at a certain time... kaso laging walang closure. Di naman kami nagkikita. I think this is the tenth time na nag-arrange kaming magkita pero di naman natutuloy kasi di ako sumisipot. Okey lang siguro sa kanya, kasi he never followed it up on me.Kung talagang gusto nya akong makasama, he would at least remind me through text kaso wala eh. Okey lang kung tuloy, okey lang kung hindi. Ganun naman talaga sya noon pa...anything goes lang pagdating sakin... gusto nya lang talaga ng kasama...bakit ako pa?!

We used to be bestfriends before sa first job ko - and I know ALLLLL his flaws - that's one of the reasons why I left the office. I AM BEGINNING TO FALL IN LOVE WITH MY FRIEND - kahit ayoko. Ayoko talaga sa kanya, pero ang puso dimo talaga maturuan no? Ang kulet! Alam mo na ngang wala kang mapapala dun sa taong yun - sya pa rin ang gusto mong makasama. Naitanong ko sa sarili ko na, of all people bakit sya pa ang napili mong mahalin. Wala syang kwenta. Napaka childish, social climber, bastos. Wag na yan, marami jang iba. Kaso wala eh...diko alam kung nagayuma ako kaso yun talaga gusto nyang mahalin eh.

Nung una wala lang...he is definitely NOT my type - kaso since we are on the same team - wala kang choice but to mingle with him especially we are both living in San Juan that time. We became closer and closer to the point na everyone is asking kung kami na. Of course NOT! He NEVER asked me if I love him. Everything was plain and simple. Until I started noticing somethings na mapapaisip ka kung me meaning or what. A girl always knows and I have a lot of officemates who also noticed a sudden change in his personality. We started going out together, watching movies and he even went to Church with me and completed the training (btw, I am a born again Christian). Even he admitted to me na ako lang ang nakapagpasimba sa kanya. Things started to go deeper and deeper na parang ayaw ko na syang mawala. Naiinis ako sa mga bagay na ginagawa at

I WANT TO IMPROVE THIS BLOG!

Funny...or rather Sad Story

Do mothers really knows best?

Napaiyak Ako Dahil Dito

When you were 8 years old, your mom handed you an ice cream. You thanked her by dripping it all over your lap. When you were 9 years old, she paid for piano lessons. You thanked her by never even bothering to practice. When you were 10 years old she drove you all day, from soccer to football to one birthday party after another. You thanked her by jumping out of the car and never looking back. When you were 11 years old, she took you and your friends to the movies. You thanked her by asking to sit in a different row. When you were 12 years old, she warned you not to watch certain TV shows. You thanked her by waiting until she left the house. When you were 13, she suggested a haircut that was becoming. You thanked her by  telling her she had no taste. When you were 14, she paid for a month away at summer camp. You thanked her by forgetting to write a single letter. When you were 15, she came home from work,

Remembering My Bestfriend

Today is my bestfriend's 3rd year death anniversary and I must say I really miss her. If she is still alive, I bet she already have a child of her own and of course I would be one of the ninangs. Hay, I don't know how I survived the last 3 years of my life without her. Though we are really not together all the time when she is still alive, I never fail to call her...email her...text her especially when there are special occasions or when there are problems that I want to share only to few people I trully trust. Now that she is gone, our barkada is not that active anymore. My gay friend, Mike, does'nt communicate as much as before when we still have our Divine

ON BEING AN ORGANIZED BLOGGER

Hi people! How's everyone! I've been very busy updating my other blogs..but here I am and I am back with a vengeance! LOL. Seriously, my blogging schedule has been messed up and a lot of thing had happened which drained all my energy, but it's a good thing I was able to finally able to schedule my blog posting. Since it's almost Christmas...I spent all my time and energy constructing several "niche" blogs so I could increase my blogging income. I don't expect to earn a lot this month because I did'nt had the time to grab opps but it's okey. What's important is that my "online income" would continue so I could finally achieve my dream of being an entrepreneur and a stay at home professional. I've been dying in anticipation, promise! Anyways, Christmas is fast approaching...how time flies. After Christmas, it would be my 29th birthday...hay. I just hope on my birthday...I could brag about how I was able to manage to live and live for others on those 29 years of my existence. It's a Sunday today and as usual...I am stuck here in my pc instead of going to a church service. I was'nt able to go to a church service for almost 4 years now. My spiritual life is indeed stagnant...but I do hope and pray that one of these days, I can find the right church near our place where I could worship the Lord. But for now, I would just do some Bible reading to feed my soul. Those are just some updates in what's happening in my life right now...expect more updates here. Thanks!

AN OLD FRIEND

I suddenly remembered an old male friend and a former officemate who is nowhere to be found right now. I don't know what happened to him but the last time he sent an offline message through yahoo messenger... he said he already resigned from work. Kahit makulit yung lalakeng yun, namiss ko sya all of a sudden. I hope I can spend time with him one of these days and maakay ko ulit sya sa tamang landas. Wherever you are my friend, I hope you're okey...you know you will always be special to me...

LOVING THE CVG LIFE

Good day everyone! Was'nt able to post for more than two weeks on this blog because I'm very busy at my full time work. Just last month, the entire team was reskilled to DSL split from the old split which is HOME NETWORKING which means more modems to configure, more scope of support and more avail time...Yah, we're experiencing avail moments on our new split now which sometimes take up to an hour before we receive a call.
Yahoo! Goodbye wireless, goodbye static ips and irate callers. I'm so happy on how things are going on my life right now... first, because of our new split and second because of my new found friends at CVG. I really thought my life would be different since our old team has been scattered to different teams - but to my surprise, life has been better. I was able to bond with most of my teammates and were not just teammates now - we do have a sorrority! Hahaha. Most of my them are very funny and "walang pikon sa kanila" promise, whenever we talk and bond - it is always a BLAST! Most of my new teammates are straight but since one of them already "came out of the closet" - parang naging gay sorrority na ang team namin! Hahaha. We started going out, eating out, bar hopping, and even saw a movie together! Here's some of our some of those memorable bonding moments with the team...

early morning LUNCH @ MCDO after VGH!

GHERJ'S DESPEDIDA
LUNCH @ D' PANTRY

saw a movie @ MEGA (napagtripan lang....KULAM)

I hope all the days of my CONVERGYS LIFE would be as happy and fun as this!

To Marie,

"I am not surprise to wander why Dennis leave you why? What reason can you think about you're very fat body. I thought before that Dennis only use me to toy but sooner or later I'm realize that really can'not beared or stomached to be with you anymore because at first, Dennis say he could not stand you're habit of making pakialam all his walks (lakad) and always calling to
their house what he go home or this or that.

And then he say he get ashame to me either in school or in his family and then asking you to exercise

Friendship Beyond Work

i had my shift last night at 9 pm. Sinabihan na ako ni coach the day before that na wag na akong malate because 2 consecutive days na akong late ng more than an hour. Actually , I promised him naman na I will be at the office 30 minutes before my scheduled shift kaso sa kamalas malasan naman... hindi gumagana ang avaya ko! Nooohhhh! 9:00 pm na and hindi pa rin ako naka log in sa avaya though I have already logged in sa mytoto (our digital time card). Hayyyy. I really cant understand myself lately. I always woke up an hour and a half before my shift though I know for a fact that my travel time is no less than one full hour or even more lalo na pag Friday. Blogging takes so much of my time. Imagine, I would go home usually at 7:30 am and I would take my breakfast and the next 4 hours are spent in front of the pc updating my 10 blogs...yup, ten blogs all in all. Ang sakit sa ulo!!!! Well, I know I should not push myself to the limit but I know we need to strike the iron while the iron is hot. Most of my blogs does have PRs and before the master take them away.... I want to get as many review offers as I could while I still have it because I fear that I would it's a big 0 again on my tool bar. I hope I can have at least a week leave so I could catch up with my blogs. As for now, I think I would need to shorten my sleep time to 5 hours a day. I hope I can make it to the office on time tonight.

By the way, my officemate and my close friend Gherj already resigned. It's indeed a great loss especially that she is my friend. Wala nang tagatawa sa mga corny kong jokes, wala na akong katampuhan, kasabay umuwi, kachat, kasama sa banchetto pag wala si ice, kasama sa kfc, mcdo, jollibee sa lunch pag wala si ice, wala nang magpapasalubong ng triple choco boom sa floor...wala na si Gherj sa office.... and felt na felt ang kawalan nya at least samin ni ice. Sabi ko nga, almost a week na syang wala sa office...sya parin ang hot item sa mga kwentuhan namin. I would definitely miss her, but I know, there is a greener pasture for her kaya masaya na rin ako. Di bale, pag natuloy sya sa Singapore...magpapapetisyon ako. Hahaha. We'll miss you Gherj, CVG would never be the same without you! Here are some of our unforgettable moments together that I would forever remember.

I'll gonna miss our picture takings sa office courtesy of your hi tech na digicam... (nabisto tuloy na peke eyebrow ko, hahaha!)

I'll gonna miss our early morning breakfast sa banchetto and ang pag kokoya hunting nyo ni bebe ice

our gimiks and lunch dates... our chickahan and chismisan at syempre ang mga joke time!

ILL GONNA MISS YOU JORGE! THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!
Kahit minsan KJ ako...andito lang ako pag kailangan mo ng magpapatawa sayo. God Bless you my friend and till we meet again...

love,

FOR 25 YEARS OLD AND ABOVE ONLY

Grabe!

Hahaha, tawa ako ng tawa sa binabasa ng asawa ko, promise! Bakit ngayon ko lang sya narinig? Kung hindi pa dinala ni perly (kaofismate kong cute na kung hindi ko alam ang KATOTOHANAN eh siguro naging crush ko sya) yung book na ito eh hindi namin maeexperience ni Jojo (ang aking hubby-hubbyhan...hehehe) ang hagalpakan at bonding na tawa ng tawa. Thanks Bob Ong na author ng greatest book ever written by a jologs writer, "BAKIT BALIKTAD MAGBASA NG LIBRO ANG MGA PILIPINO?" dapat war kami ng hubby ko pero since binasa nya out loud ang article na ito at natawa ako...peace na ulit kami. yahoo!

anyways, i'll share with you dear friends ang article na aking tinutukoy. Ang mga batang 25 years old pababa...malamang hindi makakarelate pero malay natin... bata ka palang pala jologs ka na kaya narerecall mo ang mga pangyayaring ito, sige sali ka na rin. here it goes...

"WAYS TO KNOW WHETHER YOU'RE A MARTIAL BABY OR NOT"

Cashless Society Foretold

Just received an email from my long lost friend Shai. Grabe, iba na talaga ang mundo ngayon. Soon, the prophecy on the Bible would come true about the second coming of Christ and one of those would be having a cashless society. Eto na, unti unti nang nagiging inconvenient for people ang paggamit ng pera...just like here Zimbabwe where using money is such a burden so that people will be forced to use ATM Cards or Credit Cards instead of money - and maybe in the future a microchip planted in the wrist! Remember the prophecy...

Revelation 13:16-17
"He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name. This calls for wisdom. If anyone has insight, let him calculate the number of the beast, for it is man's number. His number is 666."

In this world, everybody is rushing and chasing for the money....

Some people fighting and killing each others just because of money...

In Zimbabwe , all the peoples having a lot of money but they're poor....

WHY ??
500 million note, just printed in May 2008.....everybody can have it....maybe just nice for 1 breakfast/lunch (equal to about USD 2)

Everybody is billionaire.........

To buy food in plastic packet......you have to spend at least 10 million

To buy vegetables.....5 million

I've Got A Flu!

It's been a week since I last posted here about whats going on in my life...unfortunately, wala pang kwenta yung post na yun. I just wrote an entry telling you guys that I am bored. Haaaay, my days lately has always been like that... boring, monotonous, stagnant... though I wan't to add some spice to it, it's always unsuccessful. Last week should've been a perfect time for socializing and going out of my box because I was given 4 long days of vacation...actually 3 of those are my restdays and 1 is a part of my vacation leave. Unfortunately, I had a flu on the very first day of my "supposed" vacation and had been on bed rest for four more days. ang saklap diba. I really feel chilling pain in my bones which made it hard for me to even stand on my own... But it's okey. That week of pain and suffering made me realize how much my family loves me. My parents, who are already separated both came to my place to check how I was. My eldest brother as well as my sister who is now based in Singapore also called to make sure I am ok. My kuya - who is the black sheep in the family supposedly - also asked me how I am feeling - and that for me is really a great surprise. My Jojo, who never left me and attended to ALL as in ALL of my needs, was really patient and took good care of me. I don't have any other choice but to make sure I get well very soon as I don't want to give such burden to my family because of my condition. This experience is indeed a blessing in disguise as I was able to feel that though my family is not that close anymore especially now that we all have our own family...we still take time to check on each other especially in times of trials and pain. Thank you Lord for my family and thank you for the gift of healing. Amen.

I'm Soooo Lazy...

I don't want to post anything today. Actually, for the past few days... I only posted one entry on my other blog. I just don't feel like blogging today (but I still did, heheheh). I just feel so lazy. Actually today is my restday, my mom and my boyfriend decided to go to SM North today for some window shopping and we'll also gonna buy our weekly grocery...but for some reason, I backed out. I really don't feel like going out and instead I reunited with my bed and pillow - my bestfriends at those times I really don't feel like doing anything. Since we moved at my sister's place (my sister and her family already migrated to Singapore and asked us to take care of her house) - I don't want to go out anymore. So I was left alone in the house, sleeping, while they enjoy themselves shopping and strolling @ SM. Wala rin, I woke up at around 9 pm and instead of working on my blogs and grabbing opportunities...I was struck on my pc sound tripping and looking for downloads... huhuhu. My creative (?) juice is not flowing today... nooooh! It can't be.

Maybe there will really come a time that you'll gonna temporarily lose your interest to blog, maybe this will last for a couple of days...I just hope I can still revive back my appetite for blogging. (btw, my appetite for food is still intact, hahaha!) I have no more to say... I will just update you once I already have the feel to blog again. I would sleep (again..) - nothing better to do. Ciao!

Inaki of PDA - TRUTH or LIES???

I stumble upon this entry on YOUTUBE and I was really shocked. It tackles something about Inaki Ting, one of the scolars in Pinoy Dream Academy. Actually, I became a fan of the show as I really want Jet to win before and since na chorva na sya...si Hansen na naging crush ko. Hehehee. Anyways, I do have one kinakaasaran din sa kanila and that is Inaki. At first, bumilib din ako sa kanya because he had his own "arranged" piece of Summer Breeze kaso nairita ako when he had this gimmick about seeing Laarni being possesed with a spirit whatsoever. Okey lang yun, kaso...umiyak pa sya na parang baby damulag. What would Laarni have to do? Sige nga ikaw kaya, sabihan ka na

Rambling Thoughts on my Restday

At last, after 6 loooong days, finally it's my DAY OFF! Grabe, halos matuyuan na ako ng energy sa pagpasok ng 6 days straight. I know, it's not that hard. There are even some who never really had the chance to get a day off even for a day...kaso, I'm not used to that scenario. I prefer have 2 staggered day offs in a week thank two day offs na magkasunod nga but 6 days straight naman. I'm just so happy that besides my 2 restdays, nag leave din ako ng Saturday...so I'll have all the time to check on all of my blogs.

Anyways, I was also had the chance to see PDA (Pinoy Dream Academy) and I saw the episode in which Randy Santiago along with Gino Padilla and Louie Herredia visited the scholars and had a quick voice lesson with them. I was shocked to see Poy, the big girl with big voice. Nakahabol pala siyang makapasok sa loob, actually I was happy. She deserves it! Napanood ko yung unang unang episode ng PDA and I know she's one for the 4 sa waiting list. I even remember nung day na sasabihin na kung sino yung matatanggal and natawag sya...yung katabi niya, which is Jet (the bumbay) doe'snt even console her. Ang yabang nga ng dating ni Jet nun eh, kaso I already spent my precious load for Jet that time kasi akala ko he is not mayabang or hambog. This not a hate post ha, it's just that I am really dissappointed with him... I thought wala syang "ere" and madali syang makasama but hindi pala. He even quit dahil lang namimiss nya yung family nya and iniisip nya kung may kinakain yung mag-anak nya - which is come to think of it, kaya nga dapat mas magstay ka sa loob ng academy is for you to provide food and shelter to your family eh. Hayyy...iba na talaga ang utak ng mga tao ngayon. Why am i so affected by Jet's action? Nah, I'm not. It's just so happen that I does have a friend before na kalahi nya (hahahah!) na feeling ko kaugali nya rin. I thought before that I am already leading him to the light, and yet...nadisappoint nya lang me. Haaaay...It's a good thing I forced myself not to love him, dahil kung nagkataon - kawawa lang ako (me hatred?). AHahahah, emotera talaga. Pinagbuntunan pa si Jet ng PDA eh me hidden agenda naman pala. Ganun talaga.

Anyways, I'm working on another blog and I'm so happy na overwhelming yung response from the readers. Will tell you more about it pag maayos na sya talaga. Also, nawala na naman yung green bars sa toolbar ko, I again has been slapped by master G pero ok lang. Mashakit, pero life must go on...sana lang yung mga opps ko hindi mabawasan please... To my dear readers, thanks for always visiting my site. Good day!

Award, Award!

thanks IdealPinkRose for the award....hehehe. I really appreciate it.

A Lesson for Every Salaried Employee

We had our CEA session today - It's a one hour audit to a particular call - we rate the way the tech assisted his caller and the overall call handling . It's not a regular barging on calls because we have clients from the US listening to every conversation we have on the room. One wrong move and the tech support person who is being audited could lose his job. The call was great (actually I know the guy personally) and I have high praises on him as he converse really well (he has this "twang") and the call was really pleasant. He was able to resolve the issue and was very professional... but although it was a resolved case, the client was not very happy. He said that the tech should've done this...he should've done that. He should've said this and that... which is true. He even gave him a negative rate because of all the flaws he've noticed on the actual call. In a perfect world, those things should've been done - but we are not infallible. I don't know but maybe if you own a business...you want and you expect everything to be perfect. That's reality of life...in business there is no room for less than perfect service.

I remember the email I received from one of my batchmates in College. At the end of the story, especially if you are working for someone else... maiisip mo, "hmmm...oo nga no, parang ako yung aso..."

A butcher watching over his shop is really surprised when he sees a dog
coming inside the shop. He shoos him away. But later, the dog is back
again. So, he goes over to the dog and notices it has a note in its mouth.
He takes the note and it reads "Can I have 12 sausages and a leg of
lamb,please". The dog has money in its mouth, as well. The butcher looks
inside and, lo and behold, there is a ten dollar note there. So he takes the money
and puts the sausages and lamb in a bag, placing it in the dog's mouth. The
butcher is so impressed, and since it's about closing time, he decides to
shut the shop and follow the dog. So off he goes. The dog is walking down
the street, when it comes to a level crossing; the dog puts down the bag,
jumps up and presses the button. Then it waits patiently, bag in mouth, for
the lights to turn. They do, and it walks across the road, with the butcher
following him all the way. The dog then comes to a bus stop, and starts
looking at the timetable. The butcher is in awe as the dog s
tops a bus by pulling its left leg up and gets in it. The butcher follows
the dog into the bus. The dog then shows a ticket which is tied to its belt
to the bus conductor. The butcher is nearly fainting at this sight, so are
the other passengers in the bus.

The dog then sits near the driver's seat looking outside waiting for the
bus stop to come. As soon as the stop is in sight, the dog stands and wags
its tail to inform the conductor. Then, without waiting for the bus to stop
completely, it jumps out of the bus and runs to a house very close to the
stop. It opens the big iron gate and rushes inside towards the door. As it
approaches the wooden door, the dog suddenly changes its mind and heads
towards the garden. It goes to the window, and beats its head against it
several times, walks back, jumps off, and waits at the door. The butcher
watches as a big guy opens the door, and starts abusing the dog, kicking
him and punching him, and swearing at him. The butcher surprised with this,
runs up, and stops the guy. "What in heaven's name
are you doing? The dog is a genius. He could be on TV, for the life of
me!"to which the guy responds: "You call this clever? This is the Second
time this week that this stupid dog's forgotten his key."

Moral of the story...

"You may continue to exceed onlookers' expectations but shall always fall short of the bosses' expectations."

Under Operation

I'm again under operation, but this was a painless one huh. I call it operation kasi takot talaga akong magpapedicure sa ibang tao before but since yung unang unang pedicurist na nagpedicure sa aking virgin nails sa paa, eh me hinahanap yatang treasure sa kuko ko sa lalim ng pagkakahalukay kaya since then, kelangang ko nang magpapedicure to have my nail done every 2 weeks and para rin maalis ang aking ingrown na pasakit talaga. Ang bilis tumubo, huhuhu. I hope all of my incoming operations would be as painless as this was...

(pasensya na sa paa kong parang pangmagsasaka lang...lol)

Introducing...Paul's Teeth!

We had our shift at 11:30 pm today and it's good that the que allows us to have our lunch together and a meeting afterwards. Lalo na ako, I'm so happy because I even had a coaching session with tl for almost an hour last night! We've talked about my mom, my scorecard (which is 4.15 for the meantime, my highest score ever!) and my application to be transferred to CVG Commonwealth for the Pioneer Account. He said that there is around 70% probability that I would be transferred as I am the third person who actually sent my Letter of Intent to our Senior Operations Manager. I am kind'a excited and a little bit nervous because it would definitely be a new environment...a new set of friends...a new everything! I love change and I'm open any kind of opportunities that come my way. I am not getting any younger and I think it's time to go up in the ladder ... and moving to a new and pioneer account will open a lot of doors of opportunities for anyone who plans to move. I hope and pray that I will get the slot.

Mama's Health Update

hi guys! here's an update on what happened to my mom. Actually, she feels better now. Unlike yesterday, she is now slowly regaining her strength. She refused to be confined to a hospital as she said she's been on the hospital all her life (she worked at uerm dietary dept. before). I asked my coach if I could take an Emergency Leave and he said I can for 5 days but I need to present documents showing that my mom is indeed in the hospital. How can I get that since mama does'nt want to be confined. I asked for EL because I am the only one attending and nursing my mom during these tough times and I need to make sure she is ok before I report for work again.I don't know if I would still file for that, but I think I really cant report for work tomorrow...

Get Well Soon Mama!

Mama is not feeling well today. I tried calling her yesterday in our house in Montalban but nobody is answering...I tried calling her in her cellphone because I want to confirm if our gimik at DIVI mall tomorrow will still push through but it is turned off. I usually make sure I call mama at least once a day to ask her how she is feeling... but unfortunately that day - I have no means to speak with her. So off I went to my work which starts at 11:30 pm...during our lunch break, we went to KFC as Ice will treat me and Gherj for Lunch (thanks for the treat Ice!), I received a call from my mom telling me to call her back because she is with my cousin Ate Nelia and they've decided to take her to the hospital. You could just imagine how my heart thumped faster than before as she speaks to me. I don't know how I would react. After she hung up...so many things came into my mind... Is my mom ok? Is she in pain? Is it a serious illness? So I hurriedly called her up in her cellphone and my cousin told me that she will accompany mama to the hospital as she was bleeding. I don't know exactly what she means so I hurriedly asked my coach if I could go on undertime and my ever supportive coach texted me back "Go. Please keep me updated ok?" Thanks Coach! Anyway, off I went to Montalban with Jojo in the middle of a heavy rain and it's good to know that mama decided not to be confined to the hospital as she could now walk and she already revived back her strength and she is now resting at my Tita's place which is just one street away from our house. Mama came with us and we

Congrats ng Bonggang Bongga Ms. Venezuela!

May laban ka? Sa posing pa lang...wala nang binatbat ang ibang delegates. Grabe. Miss Venezuela Dayana Mendoza — was named Ms. Universe at the 57th annual 2008 pageant, held in Diamond Bay Resort in Nha Trang, Vietnam on July 13. Actually our tv was set to channel two Monday morning kaso busing busy ang lola nyo sa kakablog kaya diko na namalayan ang mga pangyayari. Crowd favorite daw talaga yang si Ms. Venezuela and intelligent daw si ate, biruin mo ang tanong is "How can you explain the difference between men and women?" aba ang sagot ni ate...“Men think that the fastest way to go to a point is to go straight. Women know that the faster way to go to a point is to go to the curves.” Wow, panalo! Kudos!

Ang hindi ko maintindihan is that in 2 consecutive years...lagi nalang nadadapa ang mga Amerikanang contestant. Check out this video which was shot last year nung napaupo si Ms. USA Rachel Smith sa evening gown competition...

and see the similarity nung napaluhod naman si Ms. USA 2008 Crystal Stewart habang inirarampa nya ang kanyang evening gown...

(natawa ako kasi nung nadapa siya, pinalakpakan nya pa ang sarili nya. Hello ate, okey ka lang? Hehehe, wala kasing balot sa isteyts!)

Anyways, kahit na hindi nanalo ang manok natin...okey lang. Hindi naman araw araw pasko eh. We've won the Ms. Photogenic award last year through Anna Theresa Licaros kaya keri narin... Anyways, Congrats ng Bonggang Bongga Ms. Venezuela...you deserve the title kasi pretty ka naman talaga ... Mabuhey!

My New Page

Finally, a customized template! I've been looking for the perfect template for my blog...and ms. carlota made it just the way i like it.

I wish I have the same talent as what she has kasi feel ko talaga magdecorate ng mga blogs ko. I super thank you ms. carlota for making a great design and if anyone of you wants to have a custom made template for your blog, let Ms. Carlota do it for you ... Ms. Carlota, sa uulitin po!

I Am Her Daughter, Indeed!

One time I was looking for something on our old "baul" and guess what I've found? Mama's very old pic... I was really shocked. I remember taking a pic of myself on my cellphone that looks so much like that...I can't believe it! (Nag-ookrayan kami ng nanay ko magkamukha naman pala kami, hahaha!) I can't wait till mama sees this. No doubt, she's my mom!

Well, her 64th birthday is on July 10. How time flies... but my dear mother stopped counting her age since 47. She would usually joke around when people ask her of her age...she would always say she is only 47 - but when the person asking shows any hint of doubt and ask again, she would say " ah akala ko address ko tinatanong mo...nasa 60's nako..." (Our address back then was 47-B Aurora Blvd. San Juan). I cant think of any other mother who is as cool and as kalog as my mama. We would usually fight about petite things, she would usually make okray my weight and would often call me "babs" and of course...gagantihan ko sya and would normally joke about how old she was. We would always tease each other about how we look kaya I was laughing out loud when I saw her vintage picture. Para kaming pinagbiyak na bunga.

I have never as close to my mom as I am now...and I am so happy about that. On my younger years, I can't even joke about things like this with her. She is always busy and would rarely talk to me regarding childish stuff like this. We don't hang out as much

im soo excited!

I'll let you take a peek of my soon to be template care of Ms. Carlota. She sent me this header and asked me if i want to change the color combinations and if I have any further instructions...and when I opened the attachment...wow! I fell in love with it in an instant! For me that is the best template for my blog! I love the color combination and of course the "emote picture" in it. I am soo excited! I hope Ms. Carlota could finish the template soon. I can't wait to have a custom template for my 7 other blogs. hahaaha! Here it is!

I LOVE IT!

You Did It Again Papa Manny!

Ang galing galing talaga ni Papa Manny Pacquiao! Sobra. I's so happy I was able to see the fight kasi wala akong pasok kahapon. My brother and father called kaya nalaman na namin agad na naknock out ni Manny si David Diaz coz' delayed yung telecast ng channel 7 against sa cable telecast. Sana sa susunod sa Channel 2 naman ipalabas yung laban (w/c i doubt din because I believe MannyPacquiao is a contract star of Channel 7)...kasi naman sobrang daming commercial. Halatang pinapahaba...okey lang sana kaso naman neng, inabot ata ng 3 hours yung 9 rounds na yun! Pano pa kaya kung nakumpleto ang 12 rounds! Nilalabanan ko lang yung antok ko para mapanood ko kaso naman...ang tagal! And because of that, I've decided to subscribe na rin sa cable. Sana makabit na agad. Anyways, ang bait talaga ni Manny noh. Nung macknock out niya yung kalaban after 9 rounds...talagang binalikan niya pa to check kung okey pa si David Diaz and he even wanted to help him get up. Hahaha! Nature na nga siguro ng Pinoy yun. Sadyang mababait talaga tayo...ehem ehem!



Here's an article from Kieran Mulvaney of Reuters regarding Manny's battle against David Diaz:

LAS VEGAS - Manny Pacquiao became the first Asian boxer to capture world titles at four different weight divisions when he knocked out David Diaz in the ninth round to claim the WBC lightweight championship on Saturday.

The Filipino was dominant throughout, landing right hooks, uppercuts and straight left hands while frustrating the defending champion with his deft footwork and constant movement to improve his record to 47-3-2 .

American Diaz fell to 34-2-1 following the loss in a bout in which he struggled to land clean punches of his own as Pacquiao moved out of range after landing combinations.

Diaz opened the contest with his hands held high, attempting to block Pacquiao's punches but the Filipino soon found a way behind his opponent's guard, landing right hooks from a southpaw stance and also penetrating with sharp uppercuts.

Diaz was bleeding from the bridge of the nose in the second round and by the third, he had blood gushing from a cut above the right eye.

Referee Vic Drakulich stopped the action on several occasions for the ringside physician to confirm that Diaz was able to continue.

"I was kind of surprised the fight wasn't stopped earlier," Pacquiao told reporters. "It was a really bad cut."

Pacquiao repeatedly rattled Diaz with powerful blows and on the rare occasion when the American did land punches of his own, his opponent retaliated with more violent flurries.

ELUSIVE PACQUIAO

As the fight progressed, Diaz launched punches with increasing desperation but frequently missed his elusive opponent.

"It was his speed," Diaz said. "It was all his speed. He boxed much more than I thought he would."

Pacquiao's trainer Freddie Roach was full of praise for his fighter after the bout.

"He boxed better than he ever has," Roach added. "It was beautiful. We told him not to stand and trade in front of this guy, because he's too dangerous.

"Go in and out, do what you do best."

By the ninth round, Diaz appeared weary and his face bloodied as Pacquiao moved in for the kill.

The end came when the new champion snapped back his foe's head with a right jab and followed up with a booming left that dropped Diaz to his knees.

Diaz then collapsed on to his face and rolled onto his back and Drakulich waved off the contest without a count.

The sudden violence of the knockout shocked even Pacquiao, who immediately tried to pull Diaz to his feet.

"My first concern was for Diaz," he said. "I was praying he was alright. I tried to pick him up."

It was Pacquiao's first bout in the lightweight division and the victory added to his titles at flyweight, super bantamweight, and super featherweight.

He weighed 106 pounds on his professional debut in 1995, 29 pounds lighter than he weighed on Saturday, although he said the greater weight suited him and he planned to continue campaigning in the division.

"I feel much stronger and more powerful at this weight," he said. "

KUDOS Manny Pacquiao!We're so proud of you!

What's in A Name?

Good thing I'm not in the mood for war...


Emotera: "thank you for calling #@!#$, my name is Myles..."
American caller: (interupting my spiel, irritable and shouting) "what's your name again?"
Emotera: "my name is Myles ma'am..." (medyo inis kasi si ma'am atat dipa ako tapos magsalita)
American caller: "you say what?" (ramdam na ramdam ko na galit na galit si ma'am)
Emotera: "my name is Myles ma'am...MYLES...(repeating my name and medyo nilakasan ko baka naman bingi si ate)
American caller: "Mariel?"
Emotera: "I said Myles ma'am...let me spell my name for you M-I-L-E-S" (iniba ko nalang ang spelling para mas maintindihan ni ma'am)
American caller: "tsk..." (lalong nagalit si ate...) "what's that?"
Emotera:(sa loob loob ko - ano beh, inispell ko na nga - pero sige ate ispell ko ulit ha...)
"Ma'am... are you having a hard time hearing me? understanding me?"
American caller: "Noooh!" (nabasag ata eardrums ko sa pagsigaw niya...) "You are speaking too fast I can't even catch your f#@ck!n$ name!" (marami pang sinabi si ate diko na nagetz...basta galit siya ha!)
Emotera: (ay inuubos ni ate ang pasensya ko...ten minutes na kami nagpapaliwanagan kung ano talaga pangalan ko...) ok, ma'am I'll gonna speak slower now oookkkeeeyyy? My name is MYLES - M as in Mary, I as in Indianna, L as in Larry, E as in Echo, and S as in Sam. Got it? MILES...
American caller: "hmmmm....so now it's Mary! Are you kidding me?!"
Emotera: (grrrr....you could imagine kung pano ako nanlambot sa sinabi nya. Haaay, ate, di kita papatulan...) "Ma'am that's not what I said my name is... Ok, Ok." (reviving back my composure...parang nang-iinis si ate ah!) "Call me Ana... A-N-A. That's Ana, that's my second name anyway. Now what can I do for you?"
American caller: " whatever! ok, how much do I owe you for this month?"
Emotera: (halos manlambot ako sa kinauupuan ko...) Ma'am.... unfortunately your call has been routed to dsl tech support, but I'll be more than happy to get someone for you from our billing department..."
American caller: "WTF! We've spent 10 minutes on the phone, spending precious minutes of my time...then you'll gonna transfer me over to someone else?! F#@k you!"
Emotera: (ay nakadrugs ata si ate! Napikon na rin ako) Ma'am...you care so much about my name that you were not able to inform me beforehand that you need to check your bill. You did not even let me finish what I'm saying a while back..." (nagsasalita pa ako ininterrupt na naman ako ng bruhang to!"
American caller: " I don't care what you're saying. Damn you! You said your name is Myles? Give me your supervisor you fag$@t!" (ay all of a sudden naalala ni ate yung name ko! it's a miracle!)
Emotera: "I won't tolerate you cursing me like this Ma'am...but I'll gonna get my supervisor for you....and before I do that, did I mention you could call me ANA instead?"
American caller: (si ate tumahimik...parang narealize niya yung mga pangyayari at nag hung up)

That was the funniest and the most irritating call I've ever had! Ti'll now I can't get over it. hahaha! Yan ang buhay call center - you can't please everyone kaya kung di makapal ang mukha mo and you're super sensitive...this job is not for you. Yeah, you are well compensated but most people does'nt know that it takes a lot of patience and understanding for us to be able to stick with our work. Good thing, it's not everyday na nakakakuha ako ng mga lokalokang caller such as this one. Kaloka si ate, sarap sabunutan! Hahaha!

Typhoon Frank Caught Manila by Surprise!

Grabe yung typhoon Frank noh! I had my shift at that time from 9:30 pm to 6:30 am and when we went down the building to accompany a friend who'll gonna have her yosi break at around 4:00 am, nagulat ako kasi sobra yung hangin pero natawa ako kasi it seems like party mood yung mga tao sa baba na nagyoyosi at parang ang saya saya nila kasi may bagyo. weird. Although we all know that by hook or by crook... kahit bumaha pa ang buong Metropolitan Manila eh never masususpend ang work namin because our clients are in the States. Haay.

Anyways, buti na lang my ever loyal bodyguard Jojo fetched me at around 7:00 am. Kaso di parin kami makauwi that time since sobrang lakas ng hangin. Even my officemates are stranded. So we have no choice but to wait for the perfect time para makatawin sa Holiday Inn where there is more possibility na may makuha kaming taxi. While waiting, nakikita namin kung pano hagupitin ni Frank ang mga billboards, we counted kung ilang payong ang bumaligtad sa harap namin (7 all in all) and ilang employees ng Convergys na pumasok sa office na parang basang sisiw. After 30 long minutes of wait, we've decided to take our chance. We feel na di naman talaga huhupa ang hangin kaya tumakbo na lang kami papuntang kabilang building. Luckily, may taxing dumaan but when Jojo asked if he could take us to Munoz he said we need to add php 30 kasi baha. AMP! Especially pag ganitong bumabagyo, nagsisilabasan talaga ang mga @#z@^@9! Well, we have no choice since I really want to go home na so pumayag na kami. Inisip ko rin na kawawa naman si manong na kailangan pang magtrabaho eventhough its raining really hard. Pag uwi namin sa bahay...no electricity, no dial tone, and worst...no dsl! noooh! I have a deadline today and ok lang yung isa lang but 3 reviews! I am praying really hard na marestore yung dsl that same day but unfortunately, hindi nangyari. Kinabukasan pa ng hapon nagkaroon ng dsl kaya nagkapatong patong na yung tasks ko.

Last Days...

Just finished watching the movie "The Happening" - i believe it will be shown next week in theatres (napanood ko po ito ng advance dahil sa nabili naming pirated dvd sa munoz, churi!). Anyways, I really love the movie. Kahit na di ko masyadong magetz kung bakit nawawala nalang bigla ang mga madlang people - eh sobrang ganda ng effects and what makes it more scary is the fact na it's possible to happen in the near future. The story kasi is about a certain airborne virus (?) na pag nalanghap mo eh bigla ka na lang magsusuicide. Scary diba. Yung first part pa, nag-uusap ang dalawang girl friendship sa park (with lots of people on the background) - I mean, typical park sa US na me nagroroller skates, me nagjojoging - basta busy park sya. Eh yung dalawang girlalu was chatting - normal conversation. Then one girl noticed na there was like cold breeze of air (more like a thick fog) which causes the leaves of the trees to sway and she noticed na yung mga tao sa park suddenly stopped moving...then one man started walking backwards...the girl can't understand what was happening and when she turned to her friend... the girl friend was frozen then tapos she suddenly took her hair stick (basta hair accessory sya na pinampupusod ng mga babae sa buhok) and she stuck it in her neck...and dun na umikot ang story. Mas nakakatakot yung last part...basta watch it nalang to appreciate it. Ganda!

That thing is really possible, especially now that we are on the end times. The Bible clearly tells na on the end times...famine, wars, natural disasters would shake the earth. Diba all of these are happening nowadays? Who would think na mangyayari ang tsunami in modern times which killed thousands of people! Kinikilabutan parin ako pag naaalala ko yung napanood ko sa youtube na video about baha sa Indonesia. Here it is...

Who would think na a very busy street like this would be swiped by a huge flood due to tsunami?

And also, look around us...greed is everywhere! Like what happened to RCBC Massacre...who would think na dahil lang sa pera...men would kill other people. Just for money na mauubos and di nila magagamit sa kabilang buhay. People are thinking of temporary things instead of those things that really matter the most...our salvation. Hay, minsan kelangan lang talaga nating buksan yung mata natin as mga importanteng bagay. Ang daling sabihin, pero I personally is having a hard time doing it. Imagine, 3 years na akong di nagsisimba sa church namin? I am a Born Again Christian and its been three years since I worshiped God sa church niya...though of course I sometimes read the Bible and listen to the Pastor's sermon sa TV. Pero iba pa rin yung nakikipagfellowship ka sa mga tao especially sa Church. Hay, sana one of this days...I can go to a Christian Church ulit. I hope God would lead me to that Church where I can praise and worship Him again...

And to my readers, I hope God touch you and remind you that the end is near. God wants us to focus on things that really matters. Minsan kasi, maliliit na bagay (traffic, money, weather) sometimes irritates us and often mess up our day... pero we tend to overlook things that He is constantly providing us such as roof above our heads, food in the table, clothes that warms our body...we need to be more appreciative of things. This world taught us not to be contented and always wanting more...pero sana, I hope and pray na we can overcome that. I hope God would
help each and everyone of us to be a person He wants us to be.

Anyways, tomorrow I'll gonna be on PM shift na. Kelangan nang magadjust ng aking body clock - kelangan ko na munang magrest. Goodnight everyone, may the peace of God be with us all.

Happy Fathers Day Papa!

Today the whole world is celebrating father's day. I am so happy that I still have a father, a loving father who, despite of his situation in life, has always been there for me to support me in everything I do. I do have a lot of fond memories of my Papa (as I call him). I was such a papa's girl when I was young and my mom would usually gets jealous because I always take papa's side whenever they quarrel. I can still remember those times when I was still a kid, papa would buy me almost all the things I ask for. I am Papa's only child at that time (mama already had 3 from her previous marriage) so you could just imagine how Papa values me so much. My brothers and sisters would usually call me a spoiled brat because Papa would normally buy me expensive toys and would buy me whatever food I want. Usually, in the middle of the night...I would wake him up and ask him to buy me balut or lugaw downstairs (we lived in the third floor) and though he is still sleepy, he would always give in to my request. That's how spoiled I am with my Papa. I can still remember how he would normally pack and deliver my lunch to my school when I was still in High School... how he surprised me with a typewriter because he noticed that I envy my classmates who does'nt have to rent a typist for their project. I can still recall how my father utter words such as "sana ako na lang ang magkasakit, wag na lang ikaw..." whenever I feel sick due to fever. I really feel that I am Papa's greatest possession. I hope I can still bring back the time and go back to that moment when the world seems so safe because I have my Papa to protect me.

Everything changes, so is my relationship with Papa. Our relationship has been ruined because he does'nt like my first boyfriend. I became a black sheep and would reject Papa's advices regarding love and relationships because I feel that I need to follow what my heart desires. That broke Papa's heart and since then...we fell apart. Papa also resigned from his job as a cook in UERM Hospital and is just getting small amount of money by getting cooked food in a nearby laundry shop. Everything seems to go from bad to worse until its time to leave him with my brother as I with mama left for Montalban. In as much as I want Papa to go with us...mama does'nt want to be with him anymore. I was left with no choice. I hate my brother and I can't live with him on the same house anymore so I decided its time to leave but I never thought I would be leaving Papa as well...

Papa's life has been hard with my brother, my kuya would not share the food my mother would give for both of them. He said he would normally just walk for hours just to pass time as he does'nt want to stay at the house since he and kuya is not in good terms. He is always hungry and since he does'nt have a stable source of

its good to be back!

well, i just want to share with you what i've been doing (and thinking) lately. there has been a lot of realizations and a lot of goals na gusto kong maachieve by the end of the year. haaay...lately parang feeling ko if i don't do those things now...it will never materialize. Ito na ba ang tinatawag nilang near 30's syndrome? o ito ba ay dala lang ng pagbabasa ko sa newly downloaded ebook sa cellphone ko na "tuesdays with morrie". nasa kalagitnaan palang ako ng book pero naiiyak na ako, it's a story kasi of a dying professor and how his student tells his story. he is not afraid of dealing with death and ang nakakaloka, kwinekwento nya yung nararamdaman nya yung feeling ng mamamatay na sa student nya. grabe noh. i wonder kung ako kaya yung nasa near death situation...can i do the same thing? what if this is the last day of my life, ano kaya ang gagawin ko? those kinds of thougths haunt me for days now...maganda rin pala yung nagbabasa ka ng mga inspirational books noh...nakakapag isip isip ka...

okey here's some of my list:

*lose 30 lbs...kelangan ko talaga as in! i want to get married @ 30 and 2 years nalang yun! i want to fit into my wedding gown noh and ayokong magmukhang lumpiang sariwa sa gown ko utang na loob..hehehe. buti na lang at bukas na ang golds gym sa waltermart dito sa munoz. =)

*i need to save. i want to save at least P7000 monthly para at the end of the year meron na akong P84,000 - enough to start my own business. balak kong magpaalila sa kompanya ko for 5 years more pero after that...goodbye corporate world. I want to be a businesswoman and diko yun maaachieve successfully if i am a corporate slave.

*gusto kong mag-aral ulit. not the typical studies but short courses perhaps. gusto ko yung mga light courses lang like beading, craft and art, baking, cooking, sewing. i want to explore what my talents are...malay natin, magamit ko pa yun sa future business ko.

those are the top 3 must do ko for now. sana magawa ko, mahilig kasi akong magprocastinate kaya medyo nagdadoubt parin ako sa sarili ko. sana makaya ko to, amen.

by the way, i changed the look of my emotera blog. hay naku, it took me 5 hours to pick this template. buti na lang nagkatime ako nung rest day ko and i spent the whole day in front of my computer changing templates for my blog. i hope you like it.

to my avid readers, thanks for always dropping by though its been months now since i last posted a non sponsored post. thank you thank you. don't worry, i promise that kahit na gaano kabusy ako (wether with work or with my family), i would still keep you posted of all the kaemoterahang pangyayari sa aking life. God Bless everyone! Please keep on visiting. =)

Pasensya na po. thanks dear Avee for reminding me to update. Salamat, salamat from the bottom of my heart.

Bye to our Crazy TL...

Well what can i say?! Our crazy but lovely TL Chrisse will now be leaving for CVG Bacolod today. We already knew about this 2 months ago pa but only now have the thoughts really sinked in to my heart. For almost 1.5 years...she was our constant kachicka, our mentor, our refuge (lalo na pag me nangaaway samin), our advisor...our friend. There are a lot of tough times (you bet) but those are surpassed by the happy and funny memories we shared together. As she always say, our team might

Our Sweet Princess is Leaving for Singapore

I'll gonna miss my niece AJ. She (with her father) will be going to Singapore to join her mother who is working as a nurse there for almost five years now. I feel really sad as we bid farewell yesterday after watching the movie "The Forbidden Kingdom" with Mama and Dina. I came straight to their house (which will be ours from now on) from my work at around 8:00 am so I can spend my restday with her. I would really miss the gimiks we have with their family as my sister wants AJ to just continue to her studies in Singapore. Although I was'nt able to visit her often before because of my work shedule - I know life without our sweet princess would never be the same again. I spent the whole day bonding with her, laughing with her knowing that I might never be able to experience this "I'll gonna teach you how to draw" kind'a stuff because I'm sure when she comes back - she already know how to draw and will not be interested anymore with this kiddie form of art. I really wish at that time that I could freeze the time so I could spend more time with her - but I cant. After watching the movie, it's time to go home and say my final farewell to my sweet niece - who has been our angel and the center of our happiness for the past 9 years. I would really gonna miss her.

I remember that earlier that day, she saw me writing something in my organizer and she started asking things about what I am writing and started to check on my organizer. She also showed me her diary and her planner while saying "tita mimi meron din akong ganyan..."... as if she wants to show me her stuff as well while she reads some of my entries on my organizer. I told her to ask her father to buy her one at National Bookstore if she wants that kind of planner. I never thought she remembered what I said and when his daddy arrived from worked that day - I heard him

sorry...

I knew it was going to be like this...why did I let this happen...

I should never be blinded by money again...

Money will not be the mere reason you exists...

From now on, BALANCE will be a great part of this blog.

PLEASE ACCEPT MY APOLOGIES, www.emotera.net!

empoy makes my day...

I really miss my angel Empoy....seeing him really makes my day....

how can I not love him?

CANCEROUS FOODS / PRODUCTS

Received an email forwarded to me by my Big Brother and I believe I need to share this info to everyone as some of these products are already part of our daily lives.

INSTANT NOODLES

Dear instant noodle lovers,
Make sure you break for at least 3 days after one session of instant noodles before you eat your next packet! Please read the info shared to me by a doctor. My family stopped eating instant noodles more than 5 years ago after hearing about the wax coating the noodles - the wax is not just in the Styrofoam containers but it coats the noodles. This is why the instant noodles do not stick to each other when cooking.

If one were to examine the ordinary Chinese yellow noodles in the market, one will notice that, in their uncooked state the noodles are oily. This layer of oil prevents the noodles from sticking together.

Wanton noodles in their uncooked state have been dusted with flour to prevent them sticking together. When the hawker cooks the noodles, notice he cooks them in hot water and then rinses them in cold water before cooking them in hot water again. This process is repeated several times before the noodles are ready to be served. The cooking and rinsing process prevents noodles from sticking together.

The hawker then "lowers the noodles in oil and sauce to prevent the noodles from sticking if they are to be served dry. Cooking instructions for spaghetti require oil or

Cheers to A Filipino Hero!

I celebrate with you the victory of our Fellow Filipino - Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao! Mabuhay ka Manny! You saved me from having a usual boring "Sunday" and kahit na di ako nakapaglaba dahil sayo - okey lang...panalo ka naman! Kahit man lang dito sa laban na ito, nagkaisa ang pananaw nina Jhun Lozada and President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo.

Aba, muntik ko nang di mapanood ang labang ito (parang replay nung last fight ni Pacman and Barrera) in which nakuntento nalang kami manood sa Youtube the day after the fight - after malaman ko na kung saang round bumagsak si Barrera at kung sino ang nanalo haaay. Paiyak na nga ako kasi yung cable namin naputol na naman (huhuhu) - and we have no means to see Manny fight kasi channel 7 on our TV is not working unless me cable. Napa bad timing naman talaga! Pero I came up with a bright idea kaya napanood ko si Pacman. Check the rest of the story here...

Well, I'm sorry if I was'nt able to post some relevant entries here in my site - some may say - kapopost ko lang ng "confessions of an emotera" and eto ako at pinuno ko ng reviews yung site ko...sorry naman. I just need money talaga nowadays kaya kahit ano na pinapatos ko - hahaha. Nope, seriously, I am working double time. I intend to open my shop kasi on December kaya medyo nagiipon ako ng pandagdag sa puhunan and these part time job of mine through blogging really helps me a lot - so sa mga nagtatanong kung bakit I am somehow posting some advertisement campaigns eh ito po yugn dahilan. Pero I hope you would still find time to visit this site - medyo naging busy lang lately because I'm working twice as hard sa current job ko as well as sa mga part time jobs. Will update you soon on what "kaemoterahan" na naman ang nangyari sakin but for now...need to sleep muna. Sleep tight everyone and God bless us all!

hush baby hush

the bravest baby in the whole wide world!
