Welcome 2012!

Happy New Year Everyone! Time flies so fast, in about a month and a half...another year would be added in my age as I will soon celebrate my 32nd birthday. Wow! I still can't believe it. Most of the girls my age already have their own families, have a husband and at least one child. But here I am, still single with no plans of getting married anytime soon nor have a child. I don't know if I just don't feel the urge of having a family of my own or I just don't have goals in my life. Sure, I wan't to be married soon but as of this point in my life, I don't feel it yet. I guess there are so many things in my life right now that I need to fix first before planning something as big as that.

Of course who wouldn't want a baby in the family. If I would be asked, I want to have one this year. Anyway, I'm already 32 - the same age as my mom when she bore me. If that would happen, my family especially mom and my dad would be delighted. If it would not happen this year, I know that God will give it to me at the right time.


Hope everyone had a happy new year. No more new year's resolution for me this year...but I sure would want to update this blog as often as I can...till next time!

Feeling the Christmas Pressure

Waaah, I can’t believe my last post on this blog was when Manny Pacquiao defeated Miguel Cotto last November 15! After that, my blog has’nt been getting that much attention from it’s master. I really can’t believe I let myself preoccupied with things which are not so important such as partying and socializing. I should stay focused on things that matters most and one of those are my freelance work as a blogger. For almost three years now, blogging has been an integral part of my life…through blogging, me and my hubby was able to live a convenient life though I am the only one working for us. Through blogging, I am somehow manage to improve my writing skills and grammar. I was also able to meet so many friends all over the world. My blogs also have been my silent friend that is willing to listen to me in my times of sorrow and happiness. I should get back on the right track, I should put my focus back to my goals. I really pray I can do multi task. By the way, my sister who is based on Singapore would be back to celebrate the holidays with us so it would definitely would be a very busy two weeks for all of us. I hope I can conquer stress and pressure this time and make sure I set my priorities. In Jesus name I pray
amen!

My Room Had a Face Lift

Just recently, I saw one of my friends photos through Facebook and one picture caught my attention. She posted a picture of her room and I must admit, I got envious on how she manage to make it very organized. Her room is quite small but she still was able to decorate it with things she herself made such as a personalized picture frames, a large cork board with small key chains I believe she received from friends and personalized boxes which houses her personal stuff. I was stunned on how she arrange her things very neatly and how she makes such small room look bigger. It so cozy and very cute. I love it!

Because of that, I was inspired to arrange my room as well. Hehe, though I know I won't be able to have the look of my friends' room - at least I was able to get rid of those dirt under my bed. LOL. Speaking of bed, my bed is sooo big, it eats up almost half of my room space. Well, my sister is the one who bought this so I have no choice but if she would allow me, I would like to buy one of those big Bunk Beds I saw online. It will only not only do wonders on my room because of it's small stature but it will create more drama into it. Though I know I'm too old to want to have a bunk bed...I still want it! Haha! Here's a peek of the improved version of my room...

I just changed the location of the tv set and the cabinet...it was originally on the right side...

the bed too...it was on the other side of the room...

i made a collage of my friends pictures with me...i suddenly missed them all especially Ruth and Malen

How Can A Song Says It All...

I cried a river upon seeing this in you tube. How can this song and the caption along with it exactly show what I have inside my heart? I don't know how...but this video literally made me weep...

Something Fishy Eat All You Can

Cant wait till tomorrow! It's just so happen that my friends and I agreed to eat at Something Fishy tomorrow morning. They said there is an "Eat All You Can" buffet breakfast there that would only cost us around P150 and that is with refillable iced tea! Wow! I can't believe what they said. For the price of P150, you can eat all the food they serve on the table with unlimited supply of iced tea. Well, since this is the first time I heard of that, I researched the net and found out that indeed there is such promo. It starts from 12:.00 MN till 10:00 AM the following day. Yehey! It's just so happen I felt deprived of the "eat all you can opportunity" @ Dad's through my Kuya's wedding because I hosted the said occasion. So I really want to experience one again.Hahaha. I would let you know what's our experience @ Something Fishy tomorrow! Bon Appetite!

My New Years Resolution

I've been super duper busy nowadays catching up on online opps and doing extra curricular activities with my wonderful superfriends. I am so happy I've found them... I don't know how this all started but our friendship is not like the friendship I had with others. I really cherish and appreciate every single moment I am with them as I really enjoy having them around. No dull moment and we do whatever things come into our minds. Come what may, ika nga. The only thing we can't do is not to enjoy. Well I'm just so blessed with my new found friends and they are the greatest blessing I received last year. True and Genuine friendship.

Anyways, I am posting my new year's resolution and I hope I can achieve at least half of these.

First, TO LOSE THESE EXTRA 40 LBS I have. I know the hardest step is always the first and I am willing to take the first step this January 31st. I, with my friends, would enroll in a gym just infront of our building which is the Holiday Inn. The gym is called Red Corner. They do offer a very good package which includes unlimited use of the gym, a pool and a sauna. We intend to go to the gym everyday so I hope losing these extra weight would be a lot easier than I thought.

Second, concentrate on my online job. Last quarter was the worst. I was'nt able to concentrate on my online work because I am sooo busy doing extra curicular activities with my wonderful friends. We would normally go out after shift after we've been reskilled to DSL que. Our schedule was now fixed @ 5am to 2pm so we do have the whole afternoon to bond. I don't regret losing those opps as I was able to discover true friendship. And since I've realized that I could also balance my time with my friends as well as with my online job - I might as well do both at the same time.

Third, put up my own little business. I intend to resign on the next three years. I would just wait till I get my retirement plan and I would definitely just opt to work at home. I intend to get the offer to work as a part time English Tutor to Korean kids so I could also develop the skills and maybe use that as a part time job once I decided to quit working and just work at home. There are a lot of opportunities out there that would only require you to have a reliable internet connection and a decent English - so I think I would just opt for that. I believe that I was born a
businesswoman and I would pursue to be one.

Fourth, I would want to get a housing loan through Pag-Ibig this year. I, with my better half, wants to get a small house near our place in Montalban Rizal. My friend, Jonjon, also wants to get one so I would ask him to try joining one of their free trips next weekend.

Fifth, to save P10,000 monthly out of my salary. Apart from my online income, I also want to also save from my montly salary. I want to retire after 3 years with at least half a million peso on hand through savings from my income.

Last but not the least, I want to go back and be active in the Church of God. I was'nt able to
serve God for the last four years. I really miss Church service. I know I need to do something about it and I want to start next Sunday. I'll keep you updated if I was able to find a Church near our place here in Project 8.

That's about it. I hope I can have the courage and the will to do all of these six New Year's Resolution I have. I admit, It would be a GREAT challenge but I know through God's grace...I am able to have the strenght to turn all of these to reality. I pray that this year would be a year of abundant blessings to all of us and I hope that God's will be done on our lives.

I WANT TO IMPROVE THIS BLOG!

hello everyone! i am planning to have a major change here in my blog. I want to change everything and improve it. A year has passed and this blog has been a blessing to me. It gave me lots of online friends as well as a lot of cash (lol) due to sponsored reviews. Now, I want to give back my attention to this blog and improve it. Thanks for always visiting this blog always and hope for a better, more improved posts from emotera.com!

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!

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!

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!

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 told her I want my blog to have a violet and a pink combination with a header na "pang-emotera ang dating" and here it is! 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!

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!

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. =)

no updates???

I was moved by the comment of my fellow blogger Avee, let me quote :" Blogger Avee said...no update here? where ka na? busy siguro" . Oo nga noh, parang lately puro paid opps nalang ang pinopost ko here. I'm so sorry especially dun sa mga regularly dumadalaw sa site ko. It's just that medyo nag aadjust pa ako sa bagong timezone ( my work shift is now in the morning and medyo dipa sanay ang body clock ko) . Pero promise, I'll post regularly na. Pasensya na po. thanks dear Avee for reminding me to update. Salamat, salamat from the bottom of my heart.

busy week...

i miss blogging....been busy these last few weeks. i think i need a rest...i think i really need it so badly. for once, i want to have a day without any pressures from work, from home, from anything....i want to have a at least a day off doing nothing but blog...i need it...i need it so badly...
