It's not about getting wet. It's about getting emersed in water.

Ondoy the storm has left the country, but not after it caused damage to properties and from last update, at least 10 deaths.  Devastation was everywhere.  How come there was that much water?  Imagine reaching up to the third floor of houses or buildings.  Plenty was trapped, cold, scared and hungry.  It was an inevitable event, an act of God.  It does not choose who you are and your status in life.  It just happens. 

The Philippines is a rich country. It is rich in labor resources and natural resources, but sometimes it becomes poor in spirit, because of national issues.  People get confused and they start to take side. That’s when conflicts arise.  Times like this, when majority are needing help, Filipinos unite and promote a common cause.  Help for the victims.  Then Filipinos are reminded of the tradition that our fathers’ fathers are proud of “Bayanihan”. 

This is one positive effect when nature takes its course.

Think about your pet and your neighbor's.

Animal Rights.  This has always been subjected to different opinions and there is always a widespread violation.  There are groups dealing with animal rights and promoting animal welfare, yet it is a sad thing that numerous of people remained to be uneducated or rather unaffected.  It is their choice, weren’t we once told that ignorance is bliss?  They do not feel guilty over the killings and maltreatment of these animals.  They continue to enjoy eating the meat of what we all know “man’s bestfriend”.  They continue to bet on horse-fighting, bull-fighting, and even dog-fighting. 

Can you imagine the absurdity?  There is this animal, you cared for it, you make it feel loved, you nourished it, the animal feeling lucky and you having in mind involving this creature into a fight, for you to bet on it, hope to heavens that it wins, so this would earn you m-o-n-e-y.  This is outright cruelty.  What would you feel?

Love. Love. Love.

An officemate just got back from his trip with his wife.  They just got married. How cool is that?  He lends us a copy of his pre-nuptial and footages from his actual wedding.  The wedding was beautiful.  

It made me think.  It is indeed true, when they say that falling in love with the same woman, three times.  For me those times were:  The time when you got to know the girl and developed an admiration for her (often we label it as love), second was when she finally said yes to you after wooing her (for who knows how long...), then third was the day you married her.  The third time has the greatest impact.  Because that's when someone realizes that they will be together from that moment until forever, as lovers, as friends, as allies, as playmates, then later as parents.  They would have goals together and take care of their own little family.  What a sweet thought! 

Listening to beautiful songs would make u feel butterfly in your stomach.  Love is real.  You can see it.  You can feel it.

Have a happy Sunday! =)

It's Sunday here. 

I am done with my laundry; actually I just washed three pairs of pants, manually.  Beat that.  First, I soaked them in water without the detergent, in that way some of the dirt and dusts will be removed or at least will be easier to remove.  Gadgets used:  3 basins/pails, old toothbrush, a water dipper.  I think it's actually instincts on how to do the laundry.  But there are rules.  Whites should be separate from the colored clothes and there are clothes that specify on how to wash them.  So you must be vigilant. hahaha.

Anyway, have to enjoy the rest of this day.  Tomorrow it's back to work again.  If only I could fly.  Fly to the highest part of the sky.

If hugs were only free.

If hugs were only free.
I'd give one now so willingly.
If it could cheer you, no more blues,
I'd give you not just one, but two.

Hugs are therapeutic.  It eases your pain.  
Hug me. x-o-x-o-x

morning comes...

I'm late for work again.  I couldn't find my keys.  I needed them because I locked my desk drawers, that if I went to work without them, I won't have some things done.  How many times does something like this has to happen?  If only that it is just like our cellular phones, we could make them ring to locate where we misplaced them.  It's time consuming and very, very irritating.  When you realized at the last minute that your keys are not where you thought they are and you are running out of time.  

I should keep in mind to place important stuff where I could easily find them.  They should just be on top of my study table, or the dining table or in one of my "organizer's" pocket.  Or maybe I should not just change bag everyday.  Oh dear.  I'm hating this.  Give me a key detector or key ringer.  Or a better memory.  Funny.

Anyways, I won't allow this to ruin my day.  I still have 20 more hours for this day.

TREKPAY is NOT trick-pay

Today was better.  I found out through a forum that there are real trekpay site members.  The best part is you don't have to pay for anything.  Just join by registering, then you can start browsing through the links made available to you.  Then you will be given credits for it.   Read all the details on the homepage, just follow instructions, they are important.  The key? Patience and referrals.  Perfect when you have all the means to click.  I'm building my referrals up, so if you want to help me, click on this and register : http://www.trekpay.com/?ref=57265 

If you happen to pass by this blog, could you make a suggestion on what would be a nice topic to write about.  Politics and the global economic crisis are out of my list.  They are too real.  Maybe something beautiful. Like love.  LOL. I'm being dreamy again.


Goodnight.

^_,^

I sort of made myself a promise to make a daily blog, but I'm a bit of tired today.  I'm so tempted to try those get rich stuff you see on the internet, but there are a lot of things you should do and learn before getting involved on those stuff.  It appears like it's as easy as 1, 2, 3, but you have to understand the process and there are always risk involved.  


I wanted to do something brainy instead.  Whatever that is.  


Goodbye for now.

Sleep all day.

I wonder if that is okay.  If only I could sleep all day.  I had a sleepless night because I volunteered to watch over my grandma. She was admitted at the hospital because she had difficulty breathing 4 days ago.  So this morning I went to work with my dizzy head.  Did not even ate lunch because I chose to sleep.  I found some crackers in my drawer, so I ate them hurriedly 'cause lunch break had just ended.  That only helped for 30 minutes, I was so hungry and sleepy.  Just tired.  I was wishing that I could sleep the whole day.  If only.  

I was struggling to stay up while waiting for the bell to ring at 1700Hrs.  I passed the time reading an e-book on Angels and Demons by Dan Brown.  My boss was busy doing his stuff and I was just waiting for him to call on me.  I printed some articles for him.  Then happily heard the bell rang.  Oh! Sweet music to my ears.

On the way home, I thought of cooking.  Squash for dinner.  I have the recipe in mind as per advised by my bestfriend.  Looking forward to the effort I was going to make.  

As I have arrived home.  First thing first.  Changed into my house clothes, turn on my PC, then checked on for food.  Best thing, my mom left food for me. Yahooo.  No need for effort.   I ate my heart out.  

Up until now, am still awake.  Blogging.  I'm making this my daily habit.  Though I do  not have that important stories to tell, yet it seems nice sharing it like this.  It does not matter who gets to read this, or if someone would care to read this.  Through this, it feels like someone is listening.

Self-evaluation.

I worked as an office assistant, which means, I should work to please my boss.   I do errands, sometimes, not only for my boss, but for everyone who needs it.  Just like any other days, there are bad days and better days.  Best days happen during payday.  Basic office works like record/tally records from Production Inventory Report, then summarize the important details from the Daily Production Report.  Every end of the month, I summarized the different departments' report (of course with revisions from my boss).  My boss is so keen on details, he immediately sees the need for corrections.  Sometimes I take my job for granted.  So when asked about things, I am not ready with the answers.  I am trying to change that now.  I am learning to be critical, like I already read the reports submitted to my boss, make sure the papers are complete before forwarding them to the next department.  

Most of all, I am learning to enjoy what I do everyday, and I leave it in the work place whatever happened in a bad day.

I won't end here.  There are more things I want to do.  Law school is definitely on the list.  After the review and passing the board.   Nice things to come.  Nice things and I am going to make them happen.

See?  I do not have to prove myself to you, but I have to be pleasant to the one who pays me for my service.  LOL.  

I am not a busy person.  I always have time to blog. =)

Accomplished.

Mission Accomplished.  About the cleaning part.  Finally, I have freed up some space on my study table.  I collected trash, small paper bits, tags,  receipts, etc.  Put away some stuff which I don't regularly use and made a mental note to remember where I placed them.

I love organizers, those zipped up bags which have those ready compartments for my random stuffs.  I'm not that "kikay", but still I'm a girl.  I have organizers for my bags, my headbands and other accessories.   I have those plastic boxes for my other bags, books, other notes and papers, I have a separate box for my PC stuffs, like cable wires and all.  I have made a box and covered it with purple cartolina for my handicrafts.   I have few unfinished crochet projects, they are bags again.  I'm hoping to finish one within the next 2 weeks.  I have bought materials for those beaded projects, but never got to the point of putting my creativity in action.  (hahaha).  

Maybe, I'm the kind of person who wants to have a little of everything and know a little of everything.  But I know I'm really good when I want it that bad.   

I want to be the best.   I want to be the color pink or the fiery red.

Love the new look...

I'm so loving my blog page's new look.  Simple and pretty, just like me.  :) I got the layout for free, check it on one of my buttons towards the end.  

Right now, I am having my period. With it, comes my mood swings.  Sometimes I get depressed by the little things and get bothered by people around me.  Moody and lazy.  I was sleeping from 1 PM to 4 PM.  I know that I should be cleaning up my room.  

I'm trying something online: http://www.trekpay.com/?ref=57265 .  Try and check it out too.  It's worth a try.   I have not seen the outcome yet, but maybe we could explore this together.  This was just referred to me by a friend. 

After this entry, I promise that I would start cleaning my room.  It's cramped and messy.  But I love it.

wedding bells or should i just get a puppy?

I saw this video on youtube.  It was a wedding entrance dance.  The song was perfect and I really think that the idea was cute and sweet, even when it was non-traditional.  It was funny and it makes me teary and dreamy.  What would my wedding be like? Before I had my first boyfriend,  I was idealistic.  A perfectionist.  My perfect wedding with my soul mate.  The guy who loves me dearly.  The one who would want to marry me and wanted me to be his wife and the mother of his children.


I can't wait to get married and take care of my own little family.  I love babies. Those tiny thing you hold dearly in your arms.  Too fragile.  Too loved and wanted. Oh my God, I am so jealous.  My girlfriend just gave birth to her second child already.  I just saw a cousin at my aunt's birthday who already has her second baby too.  Most people I know are either parents or expecting.  I wanted my baby too.  


I am looking forward to that day...Should marriage come first?  In this modern age, people would consider it a risk to get married when you are not yet pregnant.  Should I be pressured that I am still not settling down?  When my parental instincts are sometimes too strong and I am longing to become a mom...what should I do?  Should I just get myself a puppy?

I do.

People I know, people my age are either settling down or getting on top of their careers. What am I doing down here? Am I satisfied or simply don't have a choice? Maybe I am too lazy and worries about other things instead.

This happens when you care about the things around you. Care or was I just making excuses again? I don't take responsibility for my actions, I always seemed to blame it on other people. Like, they could have made things easier for me, or they could have paid special attention to me. I am such an attention seeker. Though sometimes I seem not to care, but your approval means a lot to me.

Even when I don't understand. I just keep my mouth shut, because I don't want you telling that I don't understand. I stop asking questions, because I have asked you these plenty of times, but you never gave me the answer I want.

But I sure do hope you would continue to understand me. There are broken pieces of me. Pieces that I am searching for. Pieces that you might be holding in your hands right now.

Good Morning.

Good morning sunshine. You're my only love. :)

What's in store for me today? My never-ending routine. Wake up. Coffee + Pandesal. Bath. Get dressed. Then ride a habal-habal to tominobo crossing. Then take a Suarez line jeepney towards the city. Do a marathon walk to get to the post office where I could get on a Dalipuga liner jeepney. Then hope to heavens that I don't arrive late to work. Even if my contract won't be extended for next year, the least I could get is an excellent recommendation letter. I'm hoping to get a job online too. Just like my B. So I could just stay home to do the work and earn in dollars. I could go back to reviewing my Accounting lessons too. For Board exam purposes. Hope to heavens again that I would make it in the nth time around. Yehey! That's something to look forward too. Aside from my Sing trip with my sis by January.

Anyway, I'm learning to take control of myself and my emotions. Though sometimes I say the wrong words, I know I'm getting there. I'm tired of hanging around here.
