usapang belly

Kahit noon pa man, basta may makita lang akong buntis na nakatayo sa bus or mrt o kahit saan, lagi kong binibigay yung seat ko para sa kanya. kahit na madami akong bitbit or malayo pa bago ako bumaba..di na ako nag aantay na may lalaki na magpaupo kasi eventually naman ako naman ang pinapaupo nila after ko ibigay yung seat ko sa babaing buntis.hehe..talking about Initiative hehe..

Ngayon na buntis na si ate, at times na meron akong pinapaupo, lagi ko sinasabi kay Lord na sana meron ding isang tao na magpapaupo kay Ate kung dumating siya sa ganon na sitwasyon..

I know lalo na pag nagpakabait ako, God will bless ate with helping people more than the number of times na ginawa ko to. hehe

Excited na ko talaga, hoping and praying na sana di magkasakit si ate, na by next year meron nakong pamangkin ..hmmm.. nu ba gusto ko? sana lalaki na lang...tapos kasing cute din ni bololoy..

On why men got the lady -another twist

Yesterday, me and my other half had this conversation, serious at first and eventually goes wacky (well, not unusual, considering my better half to tend to be a philosopher..sigh) We tackled about money matters on what would be our agreement in regard to this issue. I know a friend who'se even though his hubby is earning well, he's the one who handles the finances especially in terms of saving. But for us, nah for me my stand is its good that both has reach to the point of agreeing as to managing their financial matters. It doesnt matter who does the keepsaking, what matters is both knows where the money goes, and agreed amicably. For our case, i dont really mind if my other half would be managing our finances, as long as I am being informed of it. Since he's way good in finances than me (sigh) And knowing him, he's not that stiff or madamot. He's the one whose encouraging me to save to be able to provide well to my family. Sometimes, nah most of the times saving me from financial drought.(hehe)

But then, I dont know why our conversation goes to " Alam mo Ma, namisinterpret lang ni Lord yung sadness namin hehe.."

What??? sabi ko kagad, grabe, tamaan ka ng kidlat ha, abomination yan..grabe..tsk tsk..na mis interpret pala ha..kungdi dahil samin, hummmppp..

anyhow, it is a joke ..I know him well, minsan grabe talaga mga reasoning pero nature niya na lang talaga mambuska at alaskahin ako hanggang sa magalit..hay..

News flash

last two days ago, I happened to watch news declaring that a possible venue for PBA court will be the Manila Zoo. I was shocked by the news then. What happened to us Filipino/s?

Is it a valid reason that PBA is the oldest and first legal paid betting game in the whole Asia? ( i dont see anything to be proud of for this one) I dont give a *%@# on where those players will set their arena as long as they leave Manila Zoo out of the issue. I am willing to even join the protest rally if this push through..

Hump...my temper again..temper.. those idiots.

Is it also enough to say that putting up that coliseum will bought new works, offer lotsa jobs (in short capitalism again!)

But what would happen to our next generation? Maybe time will come that kids raised in manila dont happen to know and cant identify/describe what the National Bird looks like (baka pagkamalan pa na Ibong pipit ang national bird) puro na lang ba sa text books and films makikita ang mga ito? I know, I know, Manila Zoo isnt earning that much, Overhead cost nga ito ng Manila eh, but can we just spare this one? Minsan naman isipin din natin ung long term. Di lang dapat financial benefits ang pinagaaralan, kasama na dapat ung values, patriotism, environmental concerns, lahat ng di material benefits. hay naku..kakainis..

Isnt enough that although lots of people benefitted from the PBA brouhaha, we should not be blind also to look on its negative effects, people are encouraged to gamble, even to the stake of their lives and their family's future. Hay naku, alam naman natin na works of satan talaga to eh.

Stupid, stupid..that's why our country is going to the dogs because of those bunch of people making Money as their God.

hay, enough said. got to pacify myself.. deep breath..deep breath...

la lang...

Sowee again dearie, for not updating u up this past few days..

anyhow, today as I go my way to office, i happen to sat beside two ladies talking of their application/interview experiences, on how it is hard to find a decent work that pays not that much but suffice for their daily expenses.. they chatted animatedly, with words i find amusing.
I've remembered way back when I was fresh from college seeking oppurtunity to work in Makati. I have with me one hundred pesos, a borrowed corporate dress and my portfolio (CVs and other credentials) Its common for a newbie to got lost in the vast area of Makati, finding the offices for the interviews, exams and so on and so forth. I spent almost a month looking for a job. I am fortunate to say that i have with me referrals, (for Ibank) which was i fervently prayed that I got in and have the job. Weeks passed but no news so I applied again for possible vacancy, this time (it was Pres. Erap's era) Bingo Filipino as ( i dont remember the exact position) luckily again, before I got signed up with BF, Ibank called. and the rest is history.

I also remembered when I got my first salary (6100 a month) ive kept my first payslip as a token.hehe. I felt that I got Big time then, (for I got used to having just 500 pesos as a bigger money, of course after saving for it for a long time) thinking what would I spent for that money. Well, my mother knows best. She bought every basic needs we would be needing until such time that i got hold of my second salary..hehe.. I do remember buying big box of pizza as a treat for my family. ( good days, good days..)

Now, as I look back, still nothing spectacular happens, we dont own bigger house, we dont own a car, nor a business to tender to. But the years spent working just to help my family is a happines I never ever forget. I dont mind buying clothes for myself, or treating myself to a spa, got my hair fix, lighten up my skin tone, buying cosmetics, jewelries, any common treat for a normal lady like me. I would think first of what would be best for my family, for my sister. Even though Money is scarce, we still managed to go through. But I still have my dreams of providing enough for my family, where if time will come that I have to start my own family, they will never be left behind without any support. I know its hard but ive got faith that it will happens. In God's own way and time i know he will sustain me to be able to provide what i wished and hoped for my family.

well, enough for this, I just have to work out first on how can I save much for Ate's delivery by next year. got to be more spend thrift again..

I am simply thanking the Lord for giving me whats my due, for sustaining me and lifting me up when life is hard, for making me come through where I am right now. I believe that whatever happens in my life, His hands is skillfully designing the paths for me. I love my family as I love and serve Him.

Life isnt that hard to live eh? Life is so short so why not do it right and enjoy it most.

ciao!

Birthday's with a touch of LOVE

Upon joining Shell, i instantly fell in love with the people working within it. They are all so good naturedly kind, honest and very appreciative to what you can do. I feel I'm now in the right company, nevermind the issues in pay, benefits and others, for me what's important now is I have with me people whom I find easy to work with..feeling that somehow I know that I'll definitely grow and progress with them.
They have this same tradition of treating every birthday celebrant like a royal princess/prince. Giving gifts, foods, kind words and kisses and hugs for them to feel that they are loved and treated as dear friends.
Of course i joined Shell a month to go before my birthday..and I've experienced their birthday asalto at best!

And since I love crafts, i gave my share to make the birthday celebrant happy, I want them to feel my gratitude by making their birthdays really special!

8 months and still counting

Whoopee!! I realized I'm already 8 months working here at Shell and the experiences I've gained during that 8 months time is really rewarding..

I've attended most of the activities that the company offered and I'm lucky to have gathered pics to make me remembered the fun, and people I've met and mingled with during the events.

My first activity is in "Project Malasakit" Nursery Activity last November 2006. I went solo for this event..

Second is in our Centre's Christmas Activity- where I won cash prize for joining the Pera or Bayong contest..

The third one is joining the Centre's Summer Teambuilding held at 8Waves Resort in Bulacan (our team won first runner up for overall games and events)

Another activity i didnt make a pass is joining Pinay in action last January 07, with fellow mates Malou, Jen, and Rona. Malou and Jen even won place in the 10k run! and freebies as a plus!

Next is Coral Watch last April at Pier Uno Anilao Batangas. it's my first time trying to snorkel..dami ko nainom na tubig dagat..but it is really fun, worthwhile and unforgettable event..

And just recently, I've again joined in "Shell's Project Malasakit Tree Planting Activity" Cesar, Yhen, Sol, Jessie, Manj and Mommy Cel enjoin me in this event. I've been to Lamesa Tree Planting activity for 5 times already but every oppurtunity is unique and rewarding, I keep on joining and getting excited to impart my contribution on saving the Mother Earth.

And Im looking forward to joining next month's activity.."Gawad kalinga -Build a house" hehe..

Im soon to be a TITA!!!yipee!

Sowee dearie, got tied up again with loads of work, aint got time to update and publish a post..

Anyhow,

I have a migraine since last night pa, grabe talaga, and all along I thought this day would be uneventful and pitiful one, No, nO, Ive got a text message from Ate that she's 5 weeks preggy!!!

Yipee!! I know, Iknow, it is too advance to think that before the baby comes, there will be a gruelling and fearful yet memorable 8 months of waiting. hehe. never mind the waiting, its time to celebrate the good news!! (and time for me to be more spend thrift..)

I am so much happy for Ate's blessing it seems that her life is now complete and fulfilling. She have a husband who protects and love her, and now she's having a baby to complete their family!

hehe.. tears of joy..tears of joy...

I pray dearly that Heavenly Father always guide and protect her, give her good health, no worries, life full of joy and happiness. Never mind the material things, it will be provided surely as long as she remain a faithful full tithe payer, all things will fall into its proper places..

I love her and I am really happy for her and her baby..

I love most Heavenly Father and Jesus for providing and giving my beloved Sister to have a worthy and faithful husband, married in the temple and have a chance to have an eternal family someday...

I hope and pray that this will be my life too someday...
