Ella! Ella! Eh!

Grabe, its been raining for the past two weeks and going to work is really hard. Well, knowing that I live in Bulacan which is two hours away from Manila is really a sacrifice. I need to leave the house an hour earlier just to get in time to work. This rainy weather is draining my pocket. One of the things I really hate is getting my feet wet. Ayoko ng nababasa ang paa ko especially pag naglalaked. Hindi yun maiiwasan kasi tag-ulan pero it's making me feel irritated. Struggle pa naman sumakay papunta sa work. I am working in Ortigas particularly at Rockwell Business Center near Meralco. Pag normal days mahirap ng sumakay dun what more pa pag tag-ulan. So to avoid that, I always ride a taxi. Inaabot ng P100-P120 ang binabayaran ko. Just imagine katumbas na yung P100 ng isang McDo breakfast meal. Ang dating P200 budget ko for a day ngayon umaabot na ng P250, worst pa pag naging P300 due to other miscellanous fees. That's why I am having a hard time saving money nowadays. I know it's within my control pero mas gusto ko ng dumating sa work ng safe kesa yung basang-basa ako. It seems like I'm riding taxi everyday. I just hope the rain will stop. I know masarap ang ganitong weather especially pag matutulog ka na. You'll enjoy the weather pag wala kang work and sa bahay ka lang. Pero if you need to go to the office, super hassle sya. You always need to bring your umbrella with you. Naka-ilang payong na ko na parating nasisira at bumabaligtad. Pero wala tayong magagawa, let's just treat it as a blessing. :)

Tired!

I don't wanna complain being tired and so busy but lately, ganyan ang buhay ko, So many reports, paperworks, coaching logs and meetings na dapat tapusin. One day is not even enough. Sometimes I can't help but complain. After all, hindi naman ako ganito dati. There are times pati pag take ng lunch wala na kong oras. I am very conscious now cause I'm really practicing being health conscious cause I want to gain weight pero parang baligtad ang nangyayari. I'm beginning to lose weight. I still don't know how to get the concept of "balance". Ang hirap when there's a lot of things that you need to do. Sometimes I wonder I want to go back with my normal work routine. The times where I have my own freedom and have more time to rest and do other stuff. I feel like I am locked up now. My everyday work is giving me a lot of stress, Yeah, double the stress. Let's say I'm still on the adjustment period but I am feeling already the real world of being a supervisor. I am really wishing that I can manage everything properly. :)

Keeping Up With The Kardashians

I don't know why some people hate the Kardashian family. I find them awesome. I don't really know much about their personal life before till I watch their family series. At some point, yeah, you'll get irritated with some of the scenes but later on you will realize that they're just a normal family. They fight, yell and shout  but at the end of the day they still ask forgiveness and hug each other. Real families are always like that. The only difference is they're popular and they have a unique lifestyle. Ang kulit lang kasi each of the siblings of the Kardashian family may kanya-kanyang trademark. Si Kim always the organized type. Si Kourtney naman medyo makulit pagdating sa pag-ibig. She fell in love with the same guy na kahit sinaktan na sya yun pa rin ang pinili nya. Well, it's a happy ending na naman para sa kanya now cause she got two kids from Scott. Si Khloe which I guess is the most mature when it comes to responsibility. I adore Rob cause he looks so simple and quiet-reserved and of course the ever-gorgeous Kendall and Kylie. Syempre Kris and Bruce completes the family. I love their tv series because it really shows what a family looks like. They're not perfect but they love and cover up for each other. They may have flaws but they don't care. Growing up with the Kardashian family is like training yourself from a battlefield. Kasi naman they're always the center of attention. They did not bragged for it. I guess merely it comes naturally because they're Kardashians. Paparazzi loves them so much. I know it may sound weird pero what if I was given the chance to be part of their family for a week, kaya ko kaya? Well, I'd be honored. :)

My New Comfort Food

Gummy bears is so last last year. My new comfort food now is cheesy garlic bread. I tried yesterday the one from Pizza Hut and it tastes amazing. I am having this real craving now because of my mood. I don't know. I need this badly.

Conflict

My Dad and I is not in good terms now. We had this bit of a conflict. I hate to say but this has something to do financially. Alam ko may common misconception tayong mga Pilipino. We are too generous to help other people without thinking if tayo naman mangailangan if may tutulong ba sa atin? We had this sort of misunderstanding kasi i was making him realize na okay lang tumulong sa iba pero make sure pag kami naman ang nagipit sana may tumulong din. I've been struggling to save pero walang nangyayari. The money in my bank account seems to be getting nowhere and reality speaking din is paano ako sisipagin mag-work kung hindi mo pa natatanggap yung sweldo mo ubos na sya kakaisip mo because of the bills and a lot of miscellanous fees. I am not trying to be unfair to him. I am just being reasonable. And it seems he's been relaxed about this issue ever since. I don't want to blame them because they're my responbility pero ang hinihiling ko lang is if we are going to spend some money sana on something worth it. Hindi naman masama tumulong, wag lang sobra. We learned our lesson before in the hard way and ayoko ng maulit yun that is why nagiging ganito ako ngayon. And I really hate to admit ayoko sa lahat is having arguments and the reason is money. Napaka-petty ng reason pero importante sya. I just hope we can solve this matter. I am really disappointed now. Kailangan ko lang magpalipas. :(

The Love Stories ‏@TheLoveStories

You can't run from destiny, if you think that there's no one for you, be patience, that someone is waiting to finding you too.

Lanyard

At work, the definition of hierarchy has something to do with the lanyard. I've got my red lanyard for two years already. But last week it was changed to black which means I got higher designation than the rest - being a supervisor. Honetsly, I never dream of this but I am thankful I came this far. :)

Super Busy!

I've never been this busy for the past few days.  Yeah, because of my new role. Still adjusting and hopefully maintindihan ko na ang lahat and most importantly sana makaya ko. I've been struggling with almost everything. Sabi ko dati, gusto ko yung simple lang and low profile and now with everybody recognizing you calling you Maam is giving me goosebumps. Why? Merely because of the expectations. May mga days na parang naiisip ko hindi ko nalang sya tinanggap but then at the back of my mind I will realize sayang naman because this will be for my career growth. Tsaka knowing na hindi ko pinaghirapan makuha ang position is already a blessing. Siguro hindi palang talaga ako sanay sa ganito kalaking responsibility. T am not afraid to be yelled at, be criticized and blamed pero that happens everywhere hindi lang sa work. I need to keep in mind na walang madali sa buhay. I need to have faith in myself. I know I am doing good now and kailangan ko lang talaga is patience. I've got friends na naniniwala na kaya ko toh so I need to prove it to them. I know GOD is guiding me all the way and hindi nya ako pababayaan. I know sa mga susunod na araw everything will going to be just fine. :)

Another Tweet from Gino Part 9

I was so overwhelmed with the good things that is happening to me right now especially at work. Life is indeed filled with beautiful surprises. The promotion I never expected just came all the way. And I will never get tired thanking GOD. I tweeted Gino about the good news I received yesterday. I did not put it in details. I told him that GOD did something wonderful to me. I can't help myself but to spread the good news to him. And he replied back with a smiley face. Blush...blush...blush...for the 9th time. What a perfect way to start Sunday! Thank you GOD. :)

Promoted

A big news about my status at work has been revealed today. I didn't really expect it. I was promoted and was appointed as Team Lead OIC. At first I was very hesitant kasi never pa ako nag-handle ng team or even have an experience in handling a group of people pero starting tomorrow night everything will change. Parati ko naman sinasabi I am open to changes. indi ako ganun kabilis mag-adjust pero slowly I can cope with it. When they tapped me to be an OIC, it was a mixed emotion. First kong naisip is the incentive followed by the never-ending feeling of being stressed out. Syempre I am working hard for my family and the incentive I am getting is indeed a big help. But on the other hand, if I just let the opportunity passed by, nanghihinayang din ako cause para sa growth din ng career ko ito. I am not afraid when it comes in taking risks. i am more afraid of not trying it cause I don't want to have any regrets in the end. This is a new challenge for me. I maybe scared but I know I can do it. I am so thankful with the people who have so much faith in me when it comes to this matter. I know I still have a lot of things to prove and hopefully magawa ko yun. Expectations will always be there. I just hope my first day as a Team Lead OIC will be good. I've been thinking a lot of pro's and con's regarding sa decision na ginawa ko today. I'm trying to throw away the negativities. I know GOD is the one behind all this blessings. Everything happens for a reason. And GOD has a purpose for this one. I'll let HIM handle everything for me. I'll be HIS good follower. Thank you GOD for all the blessings.

Douche Bag

Whenever I watched US TV series, I used to hear American girls called their male partners as "douche bag". I was wondering then what does it mean. Kasi the guys that was featured there  where like rock stars with tattoes all over their body and may piercing in the nose, tongue and brows. And the highlight is the guy pala is having an affair with another girl. One form of cheating. Pero hindi lahat ng rockstars ganun cause sometimes image talaga nila yun for the public to easily recognize them, physically. Then the girl will shout "douche bag". Nosebleed para sa akin yung term na ito so out curiosity, I searched it. Sa Urban dictionary, "douche bag" refers to a male persona behaving ridiculously in front of someone with no sense of how moronic he appears. So, sya yung tipo ng guy na walang pakialam sa sasabihin ng iba? In short, dedma lang sya kahit mukha na syang tanga. Harsh naman. According pa sa description ng "douche bag", he often talks about how cool, successful, and popular he is, yet never catches on to the fact that he comes across as a total loser.  Ang "douche bag" din daw ay yung mga guys who thinks he is accepted by the people around him, but most of his peers dislike him. He has an inflated sense of self-worth, compounded by a lack of social grace and self-awareness. He behaves inappropriately in public, yet is completely ignorant to how pathetic he appears to others. Bakit kaya they need to act like that pa wherein they know naman kung anu ang tama sa mali. In my opinion, this type of people can still change. Pwedeng lifestyle na din nila yun. Maybe he is annoying and arrogant pero sa tingin ko ginagawa nya lang yun to cover up their insecurities. So ang pagiging "douche bag" has something to do with attitude, social ability, and attire.I just hope wag ako maka-encounter ng ganitong klase ng guy.

Matteo Was Caught Online!

My Facebook chat is usually open every time I log-in to my account. Before I don't pay attention on whose online or not. It was just lately that I try to be visible. Maybe because I'm waiting for someone din na mag-online. This is not the time to spill out the name. But today, I caught Matteo online. Before we got the chance to chat when he was still studying in Chicago. I am happy then because he was bale to share his life and what he's doing in school. We even talked about other things. Di ba ang haba ng hair ko? Pero that was true. I captured some of our conversation pero naka-copy paste lang. At least, it's still something to be thankful. Kasi ngayon he's a big star na. Dati naka-concentrate lang sya sa studies nya, he's taking Theater Arts sa University of Columbia and then he decided to go back here because of a big offer. Yun ang Agua Bendita which gave him the break he's waiting for. Of course, sa lahat ng achievements nya, I am happy for him. I maybe a fan or a friend, the good thing is nakilala ko sya before sya sumikat ng sobra. He's been humble na naman from the very beginning. And I admire him for that. I just hope when we cross paths again he can still recognize me. :)

Collaboration: "Somedaydream & Champ feat. Luigi D'Avola - It's Your Life "

Today, SomedayDream together with Champ Lui-Pio and Luigi D'Avola released this perfect collaboration entitled "It's Your Life". The song is beautiful. The lyrics is super cool and the video is amazing. Parang pang-international na. Nakakaaliw yung video especially yung beginning nung song wherein Rez is walking in the middle of the street, cute!:) And even Champ, they're a good pair. For sure this song will be a big hit again. :) Thumbs up Rez and Champ!:)

Wag Ka Sabi Mag-Plaid Eh!

I have this huge crush kay SomedayDream. In real life, he's Rez Toledo. I love his music. He is very talented at an early age. Yeah, I am _ years older than him. Who cares? Ahaha. I am just amazed that he was able to develop his talent and share it with others most especially the teens. Techno-pop ang forte nya which is rare in our music industry. He's beginning to create a good image in the music world now after the released of "Hey Daydreamer" which is a big hit talaga. One thing I love about this guy is he loves plaid. Kung merong guy na mahilig mag-plaid sya na yun. And he looks good talaga! I wanna see him in person someday. I am sooo 'kilig" whenever I see his pictures and hear him sing. Arte db?! He just had this aura that makes me adore him. :)

Blog-A-Boom!

I am not really good when it comes to lay-out ng mga blogs. I prefer to have the simple ones cause I believe mas mahalaga pa din yung content ng blog. But today, naisip ko na ayusin ang lay-out ng blog ko. For how many months naka-plain black background lang sya so I decided na dagdagan sya ng background picture. So far, I am super satisfied with the result. Mas lalo ako ginanahan mag-blog. The fonts are the same, yung wall and background lang talaga. Ang saya! Sana mas maging maganda at madami pa yung mga topics na malalagay ko dito. Hindi rin kasi ako ganun kagaling mag-blog. I love blogging cause this is where I can express myself, whether positive or negative, yung mga bagay na gusto ko, anu nangyari sa akin for the whole day at syempre mawawala ba naman ang lovelife? It's like my journal and diary na din. Hindi pa sya open sa public cause there are things na nasa blog ko that I am not yet ready for other people to read, maybe sa tamang pagkakataon. Ang blog na ito, parang bestfriend ko na din. All the things that I'm scared to say to other people nasasabi ko dito. I promise to fill this blog with my experiences, learnings na nakuha ko sa ibang tao and even struggles ko. My life is not perfect but I am happy. Yun lang naman talaga ang kailangan ng tao, real happiness and I found it through this blog.  :)

Another Tweet from Gino Part 8

I've noticed it has been a routine that every Monday I used to tweet Gino and he always favorited my tweet. Parang kanina lang. Oh! My Monday is complete. :) Blush...blush...blush...again for the 8th time. :)

Voluntary Inhibitions

I am watching Kris Tv earlier and one of the host was Senator Chiz Escudero. Then Andi Eigenmann was one of the guest together with Jake Cuenca cause they're about to promote their new tv series. I am always impressed with Andi Eigenmann cause she seems to be very smart and frank. Yeah, add mo pa super positive na tao. Tapos Kris asked her if it is okay for her to date now. And she answered, "I guess so but I wouldn't want to." Senator Chiz and Kris was impressed with the way she answer every question. At dito na nga pumasok yung word ni Senator Chiz na "voluntary inhibition". Yun pala yung tamang term wherein pwede mo namang gawin yung isang bagay with everyone's permission pero you choose not to because it was your choice. An appropriate term for me. Ang daming bagay na pwede kong gawin such as dating or MU but I don't do because choice ko talaga. It is a matter of knowing where you stand and paninindigan. May bago na naman akong natutuhan. :)

Another Tweet from Gino Part 7

Silva and Sonnen's fight is over. The bad thing is I wasn't able to watch it. So I asked Gino if Silva won the fight cause I've read on the report the fight was controversial. I am on Silva's side. And he tweeted back saying that Silva was able to defend his title. Blush...blush...blush..again for the 7th time. :)

Item of the Week: "Ribbon Turban" (Week 8)

 

I am not really good when it comes to hair accessories. Most of the time okay na ko pag nakalugay or naka-pony. Kasi medyo hair conscious ako. How I wish I have that shiny glowing hair. Pero lately, when I went to Genevieve Gozum, I fell in love with these stuff, the ribbon turban so I bought some of it in different colors and prints. I tried it and it looks good in my hair. Parang naging mas attractive syang tingnan. Kahit siguro plain lang yung suot mo if you will add a ribbon turban on it you will look fashionable. :)

Nail Polish of the Week: "Skin Tone" (Week 8)

For this week, I decided to go for some nude colors. Maybe it has something to do with my mood, just chilling out and this nail polish perfectly explains it. I've been amused with different shades of brown and this one's the lighter among with the ones I used before. It is my skin tone type. I love how the color corresponds with my skin, very natural. Chos! :)

Retweeted

Its amazing how you can fall in love with a person you didn't even notice the first time you met. 

--so true! saw this post on Twitter and kaka-relate.. :)

"Ang Pinaka" Celebrity Look Alike Episode

this was the scene aired in "Ang Pinaka" segment a while ago

While watching "Ang Pinaka" hosted by Rovilson Fernandez sa QTV 11 I was shocked when a short video clip of me and Matteo was aired. That was our DareDuo episode which was aired September 2010. Ang tagal na. Yung segment nila is about celebrity look-alike and pang top 5 sya. Malaki daw resemblance nila ni Pauleen Luna and while showing some of his pics biglang pinakita din yung clip na yun. That was the part na kumakain kami ng pickles. Naloka talaga ako. Kami ng brother ko pa naman yung nanunuod. But then it made me smile cause it made me remember the good moments I had with Matteo then. Super unexpected lang talaga. :)

Another Tweet from Gino Part 6

Today is the Silva vs. Sonnen UFC match. We tweeted about this before. I tweeted him again about this and he replied right away. He is in favor of Silva. Cool:) So, blush...blush...blush..again for the 6th time. :)

Kulitan mode with Euna, Venice and Berna!:)

Pretty Venice

Euna and Venice

 Since wala yung mg cousins ko na ka-age ko, naki-jamming ako sa mga makukulit ko na pinsan. I had a great time kasi feeling ko bata ulit ako. Na-miss ko yung ganitong experience. Well, I still have my childish side. Euna is a real naughty and super "kulit" na bata while Venice is the firm and proper one. Berna, my cousin who is like six years younger than me is oof my closest cousin now. She's so simple and quiet-reserved. The four of us had our "kulitan" moments yesterday. I enjoyed it so much. :)

Happy Anniversary Mommy and Daddy!:)

muy familia

family time

sweet!:)

Yesterday, we celebrated Mommy and Daddy's wedding anniversary. So, it's a call for a family reunion. Good thing, everyone was present although I arrived a bit late since I'd still have work that time. The table is flooded with foods and desserts. Kids are everywhere. Nakakatuwa kasi those na hindi mo nakita ng matagal you'll be able to get in touch with them sa celebration na toh. More kwentuhan, kamustahan and cool moments. I am happy that Mommy and Daddy is still together for almost 60 years, So tested na talaga ang marriage nila. I wonder sana abutin din ako ng ganun katagal once I settled down. Nakalimutan ko lang tanungin ang sikreto nila. This day is so special para sa lahat talaga. This is our way of giving respect and appreciating them sa mga pag-aalaga na ginawa nila before sa amin when we are young. We love you Mommy and Daddy!:)

Sleepover! :)

My bro's baby wants to sleep with us. So we brought her home and yun ang bilis makatulog. Nag-Skype muna kami for her to see his Dad then konting "kulitan" then sleep mode. Ang bilis makatulog ni Euna. Pero naka-two bottles of milk na sya. Good thing hindi "namamahay". We'll take her home early in the morning. :)

Friend Request Accepted in Less than 5 Minutes..Speechless

That was too fast! In less than 5 minutes, he already accepted my friend request. I don't  know  what to feel. Hai...

Hit Add or Not?

I guess the reason why I am not "mapalagay" today cause I've been thinking seriously whether or not I am going to add him in FB. Kesa naman nagmumukha akong stalker that everytime I am going to log in to my FB account I am going to check his page. Instead of doing that which seems to be too desperate, why not add him so that automatically everytime he will post something on his wall I can see it. Mas appropriate. I can't spill his name here cause my blog is now open for public. Let me give him an alias. What should I call him? Teka..Mr. Pony nalang cause he always have his hair in pony-tails. So anu na? Cge na nga, add nalang. In five minutes, I'll hit Add Friend..why this is so a big deal for me? I am being so self-conscious na naman because of my conservative lifestyle, now trying to break my rules. (Okay, 5 minutes is over, I finally hit Add.) 

Another Tweet From Gino Part 5

Gino makes me smile all the time. I was starting to have a headache when I checked Twitter and saw him favorited my tweet. Oh! I am cured. Ahaha. Grabe  kasi nakakatuwa sya cause he really pays attention to those na nagti-tweet sa kanya. Blush..blush..again..for the 5th time. :)

PIT and Friends After Shift

We used to take pictures after our shift outside the Rockwell Business Center. Well, we may look so haggard here because of the stressful night we had been but still we managed to have time to laugh and be happy. I am wearing din pala here the plaid I bought at Ukay-Okay. I just have one regret in this picture, I almost have the chance to take a picture of him but I don't know ba't hindi ko ginawa. Sayang...

FB Status

That awkward moment when someone says "YOU TWO SHOULD DATE!" and you're sitting there like, "I wish.."

--hayy..sana magkatotoo ito..can someone make it happen please?? ahaha.. :)
