One Great Miracle

Until now, I still couldn't believe it. I will be a mother in 3 weeks! Really thought that this will never happen ever since I am already 36 years old. But God is true to His promises and gave us this wonderful blessing. I would say its a miracle because besides the fact that I am on the heavy side and already old in conceiving, I also had PCOS. When you have PCOS, you're not ovulating which makes it hard for you to conceive at all.. Another thing, my hubby had his sperm count exam months before I got pregnant and it shows that most of his sperm cells are immobile. It's not moving which means that most of his sperm cell is not travelling to my egg cells - something like that. So this is really something we are not expecting...it's a beautiful surprise...

We've learned about my pregnancy one month after my father died. This is sad because this is his first grandchild if ever. We've been praying hard for this because my father would really be delighted to know that her unica hija would soon bear a child. It could have been a happier ambiance but God has His ways and His ways are far better than ours. I know that my Papa who is in heaven is now happy and is also excited to see his very first grandchild. If not for my daughter, I would still be in gloom till now because of my father's death. I praise God for his wisdom and I know this is all a part of his great plan for our lives.

In three weeks time, I will bear my firstborn. I don't know if it will be on normal delivery or via caesarian section. Due to financial constraints,  I hope it would be through normal delivery (but with epidural since I don't have much pain tolerance) however, if it's really necessary for me to under a CS delivery, I will gladly comply. God's will be done.

Continuous Learner

Do you have a bucket list? Things that you want to get/achieve/experience before you die? I haven't thought about it yet but I have some things in mind that I want to achieve in the near future. Since God gave me this new job, I felt like I am a renewed person. I don't feel like a 33 year old woman anymore - I feel more of a 21 years old. Someone who has so many things in store for her, a woman exploring new possibilities and a girl who is hungry for learning and developing herself.

I'll share with you my plans and hopefully, I'll be able to achieve all this next year.
1) To learn how to apply professional make up. Eversince I was in College, cosmetics has been my passion. Even if I don't have "baon" or budget to buy a particular make up- I would really find a way to buy one. My classmate Ruthie would normally lend me money so I can buy a blush on, or a lipstick or a make up foundation. I don't know if I would like to be a part time make up artist in the future but I would love to know the basics so I can apply it to myself. I want to be able to have many looks by applying different styles of make up.

2) I want to start blogging again. For the longest time, I wasn't able to blog and post anything. I used to earn through my blogs. The first month I earned 12k! It would really help if I would earn extra bucks through blogging again. I would be able to bless others more and be able to buy my dream car - Suzuki Alto. :)

3) Want to get fit again, I want to lose these extra 50 lbs off my body. I think I could do it in one year, besides, I need to lose weight so it would be easier for me to get pregnant. My ob said I do have a polycystic ovary, I don't ovulate and in order for me to cure it, I need to take in medications and need to lose weight. I hope I would be able to do it this time, I've failed sooo many things on this aspect but I believe God when He said, My past doesnt define my future. I would keep trying.

4) I would want to be married soon. Of course with my Jojo. I want it set on our 10th year anniversary on April 10th. Don't know how...don't know if we can save enough for it, but I do really want to do it next year. In God's grace I know we can.

Those are just some things that goes to mind today. I hope I would be able to accomplish all of these soon.

On Getting Back My Life

I'm back! It's been ages since the last time I posted anything in this project blog of mine. This used to be my favorite blog...I put in all my thoughts and insights in here but it's been stagnant for a while. Good thing, I've got the courage to write again...thanks to my new office mate Vanessa who inspired me to revive back my passion to pursue my blogging career - to develop myself and to earn extra cash.

Just to give you an update on where I am on my jouney in life now...I just recently resigned from my previuos job as a Call Center Professional. I've been promoted before to be a part of the RST Team (Resolution Support Team) and I've been so happy with that role. Our responsibilities would be helping agents with their troubleshooting steps, answering their questions, getting Supervisory Calls and Escalated calls and calling their customers if they feel the caller is not happy with the resolution they provided. The team I was assigned to was great, I had a lot of fond memories with them...however, the team had an issue with their Team Lead and I was caught between the two. I won't elaborate further with this but it's not the reason why I left the company. The reason why I resigned is because another opportunity came knocking at my door, and it's an opportunity that is hard to resist.

I'll blog about how it all started and how I came about to this decision of leaving the company I served so well for the past 7 years. For now, let me just welcome myself back in my own little blogging world and I hope this would be the beginning of my blogging habit one more time.

A Christmas Prayer

Christmas is just around the corner without me realizing it...and after that, another year will start. Upon reflecting on what transpired with my life last year, I can say that it's still a great one for me. Imagine, this year I was able to live in my own house! There are a lot of firsts experiences...first time to visit an OB, first time to get a loan of more than P30,000...first time to visit a spa, first time to have the opportunity to decide for myself. For a fact I know that this hasn't been the greatest but I'm getting there. There are a lot of things I want to improve in my life but I know I can't do this alone. God needs to walk me through the entire process. This 2013, my prayer is to be able to share God's love to other people. May other people know that I am a Christian and that Jesus lives in me so they would be inspired to follow Gods path as well. Financial wise, I pray that God would increase my territory and bless me financially so I can also be a blessing to others. I pray that I would be physically healthy and fit. Need to trim down for health purposes and lose 50 pounds altogether. Also want to have a close relationship with my family. To be able to see them at least once a month. Widen my horizon and meet new friends. Need to get out of my box and not be afraid not to know what would happen and not be in control. Third, to be able to improve my knowledge and to earn more from it. Fourth, need to follow my dreams and start doing what I love. Fourth, be able to work on my blogs and make sure I update it regularly. Need to widen my vocabulary so I can fully express myself. Lord, in your feet I lay down my plans and my dreams...Your will be done in my life. Amen.

Brown Out!

It’s my restday today! Yehey! I woke up at around 4am in a breezy Wednesday morning. I guess there’s a typhoon because of the over gloomy weather with strong winds and heavy rainfall. Good thing I don’t have to go to the office tonight so I could relax and do things I wanna do for a long time now…do nothing LOL. I spent the day watching Batman Return, Keith Ledger’s last movie. We intend to watch the first and second part of The Batman Trilogy so I could understand the new release which is The Dark Knight Rises. After our DVD marathon, my hubby cooked fried chicken, sinangag and fried egg for our breakfast with matching hot coffee. It’s heaven! Everything is running smoothly until I heard a knock on the door. It’s my uncle who is living in the same subdivision also. I don’t know why but I really don’t want anyone to always go to my house unadvised. I feel I’m being deprived of my privacy whenever someone shows up without an appointment. Well, he is asking for my help because his grandson already graduated his college and would want to get a job really soon. I told him that the only job I could refer him to is a Call Center job. He said he would ask his grandson to drop by later this afternoon so we could talk about it. Well, I really hope he could pass the examinations and the interviews because I really don’t have the power to get him the job unless he passed the initial exams and interviews. I’ll talk to him later.

The Last Come Back?

It’s been a while since I last posted my last blog entry. It’s been a wonderful yet rough 6 months. Just to give you a brief summary of what happened…. I’m already residing in Montalban Rizal. Yes, I already got my own house. Uhm, well, technically it’s not really mine because I got a loan to avail of it through Pag-ibig but at least I don’t get to rent anymore. I’t s mine and it’s the greatest blessing I’ve got so far this year. Life here is so simple. I feel at ease. I don’t feel the pressure of the fast changing world. Here you can breath fresh air, you can relax, sleep the whole day.  Whenever I’m here… it feels like I don’t want to leave anymore. This house is indeed God’s present to me…I don’t know if I deserve it…I haven’t done much in my life worth getting such a huge gift…but He gave it to me anyway. And because of that, I now understand the meaning of God’s love… a free gift…

I know I’ve written about getting back on blogging and how I want to be a successful blogger. I thought I would retire writing articles and getting a lot of money through it. Because I haven’t done this for quite sometime now, I don’t know how to start. I don’t know if my dream of getting rich because of my blogs would still come true, but I am taking it slow. I really need money to pay for the house and I know that I can’t work in a Call Center my whole life. Hope that through this first step, I can make it to the top. 

Jennifer Hudson's tweet to Jessica Sanchez

It's really overwhelming for someone to receive a tweet especially from a well known singer such as Jennifer Hudson. That might be what Jessica Sanchez felt when she received a tweet from Jennifer Hudson. When Jessica Sanchez took the stage and perform the Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You" - she got a cheer from the famous Jennifer Hudson. She then tweeted "Yes Jessica! That's it!" Jessica learned about it and had an emotional reaction.

"Me and my uncle were in the same room when we saw the Tweet and we were like, crying and freaking out," Jessica told AccessHollywood.com's Laura Saltman, backstage after last night's show. "She's one of my idols. It's crazy." When asked why she chose the song "I will always love you" by Whitney Houston, she answered, "I was very confident of my choice at first because I was like, 'Everyone knows this song, it'll go good, whatever. I've been singing this song my whole life,'""But then I started realizing it's like one of the biggest songs.... But it really did pay off. I'm really happy." As for the standing ovation from the audience, Jessica said she was so caught up in the moment she didn't really notice what was going on. "I didn't see it coming -everybody did amazing tonight," she said. "I'm so grateful and I'm just so happy and I'm just living in the moment right now."

As a Filipina, I'm was so proud about what our kababayan has reached. Thinking about what Jennifer Hudson tweeted Jessica Sanchez gives me the chills.

Go Pinay! Go Jessica Sanchez!
