Hi blog.. It's been three years since my last post. Alot of things have changed since then. So what happened to me in those three years? Hmmmm.. I got a haircut, got my hair colored, i loved, i got my heart broken, dated a few men, bonded with friends, kept in constant touch with my family, learned how to drive, got promoted at work, got assigned to a provincial site, got a car, sold a car,

This year has been nothing short of excellent. I'm at a point in my life where I am exactly where I want to be. Everything 's turning out good that I'm starting to get scared that I'll do one stupid thing and mess it all up. But I think being scared is a good thing. It keeps me grounded. It reminds me that I am not invincible. I still crack under pressure. But honestly, I like it. I like being

Yesterday was my mom's birthday so my siblings and I prepared a hearty lunch at home for mom. Had a very fun bonding time with the entire family. Hayyyy, sarap talaga to gather everyone together and just spend it catching up on each other's lives and kulitan with the bulilits. I really treasure moments spent with my family. I ate alot during the party that I was craving to end the day with a

Things at work has been reaalllyyyy crazy the past few weeks. We launched a couple of new projects plus I hired four additional people to join my team. So the past few weeks have been nothing but training and mentoring and coaching and adjusting. I feel like I'm their work mom. Haha! Challenging pala maging nanay sa maraming anak. Lol! To break the monotony of our never-ending work and reports

I had a very good day. It started this afternoon when I had lunch with my family to celebrate Father's Day. My mom really makes an effort to prepare home-cooked meals during Sunday gatherings. But because it was Father's Day, she just decided to order food. Andameng food na naorder that we ate it for lunch and then the left-over we ate for dinner. Haha! I spent the day bonding with my

I am super swamped with work this week. Haha! I know I say that alot but this is really a busier week than usual. I have to finish my team's scorecard, complete a presentation for my Operations director and senior manager and complete a Business Review for my Program Director. On top of that I have trainings, synergy sessions and meetings to attend to. It's times like this when I need to get

Had lunch with the family to celebrate mother's day. It was a good day filled with lots of laughter and playful banter. I love spending time with family, especially my pamangkins. :) i like to joke around with them and tease them. They are adorable. They greeted me today too. They call it "Happy Tita's Day". Hehe, such sweet monsters. Plus, I received a text from an old flame - "Happy Mother's

I have days when I'm so swamped with meetings and reports that I hardly have time to comb my hair or eat my lunch.  But on the other hand, I still feel blessed that there are people who trust me and my capabilities to hand me a responsibilty as big as what I'm doing. When my stress-level is at its peak, I go to the restroom and just sit inside a cubicle for 5mins to breathe and relax. It

My friends and I were planning to go out last night but they bailed on me at the last minute. Since my mind's already conditioned to party, I still decided to go ahead with the plan. But this time, I just went alone. I was silently praying that no weirdos will make a pass at me. Haha kapal. Lol! So anyway, I went to this bar in Makati and fortunately, wala namang mukhang serial killer. Haha. I

Month-ends and month-end audits are the most stressful days for me. Since April has just gone by, I decided to ask the girls from my team to have a spa bonding time with me. We all deserve a good massage after surviving a very grueling month. So off we went to this new massage place near my house and there was a poster there that had us laughing like idiots. Nakakaloka! :) Published with

On the 3rd day, I checked myself in at Shangrila Boracay. Since I cannot afford to stay there for the entire duration of my vacay, I opted to stay even for just one night to experience just how wonderful their place and service is. Sundo-hatid ka everywhere ng buggy, it's a haven for people who are too lazy to walk. Lol! I partied at one of the villas come nighttime. Again, I had too much

Woke up extra early so I can swim before the sun is at its hottest. Had breakfast and fruitshake by the beach. Weather was perfect for picture-taking. Hehe. Around 3pm, I attended an all-white party at the roof deck of a hotel on top of the mountain. Had to ride a trike to go up. Twas a scaryyyyy ride because the eoad was too steep!  Had lotsa fun at the party. One of the guys from the

Spent it just holed up in my hotel room. Found a new, decent and affordable place in Station 2. Just watched tv, caught up on sleep and ate the whole day. I work like a horse so it's nice to just do nothing even for once. Haha! Published with Blogger-droid v2.0.4

They serve the best fish fillet in the world. I forgot what they call it on the menu. Anyway, food's great plus they serve the best free popcorn while you wait for your order. Plus points for the ambience too. Has a relaxing view of the golf course. Puro green lang makikita mo, haha! When I'm tired and stressed out, i go here.

It has been a very long and tiring week at work, not to mention super stressful too! But I ended the week with a very big smile because the presentation that my team has been preparing for for the past week has turned out really well! Our director was very happy with how things turned out. Yehey! :)) (A happy boss = a happy work life!) This is seriously the best team, ever! :) Hehe

Studying/Preparing for a presentation with the big bosses this Friday. Creating a draft for a wedding that I'll be hosting in a couple of weeks. Playing FruitNinja on the side. Still trying to break my own record. Semi-facebooking. Catching up with a friend on Viber. Thinking of what to eat/cook for dinner. Multi-tasking at its best. (It's either that or I have ADHD.) LOL. The Unpure One

A series of unfortunate events happened to me last week. I got sick in the middle of a very busy and toxic week. It started with a sorethroat then a day after, it turned into a full-blown flu. I had fever and colds. And then the day after that, I had sore eyes!!! Ugh! It was soooo uncomfortable to work with both eyes swollen (had to conceal it by wearing shades the whole time). But there were

I am not feeling well today so I am just in bed the whole time.  And to entertain myself, I've just been downloading stuff online, playing alternately between Fruit Ninja and Text Twist, reading an e-book of Darkly Dreaming Dexter and surfing the net.  Yes, I do all these things simultaneously because I have ADHD. Hahaha! I cannot seem to focus on just one thing at any given time. So

P.S. Ang tripod ay hindi patungan ng kamay. LOL. I like taking pictures of myself when I'm bored.  And then I like to edit it to make it appear black-and-white. Like this one. Instagram is my best friend. Hehehe. Or sometimes sepia. Like this one. I like it because it gives a vintage touch to my photos.  Parang blast from the past. LOL. Speaking of the past, I had a

As much as I like going out with my friends, there are days when I want to be by myself. Like today. I want to go out for brunch or early dinner by my sexy lonesome. LOL. I like having my "ME" time because it helps me relax and regroup.  I am up to my neck with work during weekdays that's why I thrive on weekends to just enjoy and let loose.  I went out with a couple of friends

A couple of weeks back, my friend mentioned that there was going to be a Hot Air Balloon Festival in Clark.  She wanted us to go along with the rest of our other gal pals.  We all said yes and we even checked the schedule of activities online so we can be there early.   We planned to start the day veryyyyy early since the balloon take-off will be at 5:30AM.  But of course,

I'm turning into an old, boring spinster. Seriously. I don't have a social life.  I hardly have time to check my Facebook and Yahoo! accounts. And most of my time is being consumed by work, work and nothing but work. Weekends are spent just lounging around at home, either watching DVDs or reading a good book or just dozing off. It's been a very busy 2012 but I don't mind.  I know

Our family do not spend Christmas on the 25th.  My dad's birthday is on the 26th so it has been a family tradition to do a double-celebration every December 26th. Practical diba? :) Hehehe.  So last Christmas eve, I was just at home, munching on nothing but Kitkat and Peanut butter.  Sweet way to welcome Christmas right?
