Iskringkles Chronicles - Part I

2012-01-23T23:12:00.001+08:00

My F&B World Magazine Family

I started work Monday last week as an Editorial Assistant for F&B World Magazine, I know that there's so much room for improvement when it comes to writing, communicating with people, being creative, learning how to jive with everyone's mood, coming up with ways on how I can be more efficient and being a better person. =)

This job is something I have been dreaming of and no one may actually think that way since I have always been a technical person. I do love to write, obviously and being able to meet different people everyday that inspire me to be happy and fulfilled is priceless.

I have met loads of wonderful people for the last five days and I would like to thank them for being a part of my every day professional life. These people I consider good friends make me smile and laugh every now and then.

I owe this job to my good friend JP, Gold and my now Editor (Boss) Ms. Marilen. =) for giving me the opportunity to learn and shine on my own simple ways. =)

*Photo: first photoshoot for desserts and first OT with my whole F&B World Family

I know that there are those people who never believed in me and it's quite okay. They make me want to become a better person as each day passes by. I am praying that I'll do not the perfect job but the right and proper one for each and every tasks I am given.

There's still a very long way for me to travel and I know I'll reach my next destination because I have these wonderful people that guide and support me. My family, friends, F&B World family and Hinge Family too. =)

This is something I have been praying and I am very much thankful to God for giving me this chance and always believing in the simple things I can do. I will always be thankful for his love, guidance, support, understanding, kindness and protection. Hugs and loves for you Dear God! =D

It's gonna be a long Tuesday for me and F&B World family tomorrow. I know that I'll learn a lot of important things that will make me a better EA, know the meaning of fun + work and appreciate every day that I have this job. =)

I have also realized that sometimes, I need to believe in myself like other people do. To be a little bit more confident with myself, face people not because I have to but because I can, improve myself professionally and understand people around me.

I want to thank my family for the support they give me. My mama for the love, understanding and for taking good care of us. My papa for always supporting us. My kuya for making himself better each day too. My family here in Makati, they always make me want to be better. My best friends Bes and Panget for always believing that I can. My friends Lan and Jes. =) My cousins, nieces and nephews. My newphew + good friend Jan! He's the best! =D

I will try my very best to update my blog every now and then. Take pictures of my experiences as an EA. =)

Thank you so much God for all your blessings and love! =)

First Driftless Shots for 2012! Fireworks is Love!

2012-01-02T19:04:00.001+08:00

I have always love fireworks since I was a little girl. I love how it shines, sparkles and how colourful it is! I always admire how it rises into the air and there, it stand out.

I waited for like hours before New Year’s Eve just to take a decent fireworks shot, mind you guys, this is the first time I was able to take some few considerably good ones. =D

Year 2011 was stormy and tough for me and my family, but I know that God is too good to let this dilemma bring us down. God has made me and my family stronger and I am very thankful for all his blessings. I believe that all of these shall pass too.

Blessings will be given to everyone, I’m sure of it. =D

I am praying that my dreams will come to reality, with hard work, determination, my family’s love and with God’s blessings. I know that if things are meant for me, and if everything is God’s will, then it’ll be done. =D

I pray for my family, friends and stranger’s happiness, good health and blessings to come for this year! =D

I will always Thank You God, for all the blessings, guidance, protection, love, patience and understanding you have given me and my family.

I will never try to be perfect, but I will do my best to be better each day. No specific number of resolutions for me, what I want is for me to learn how to be better each day.

Happiness is always found inside yourself, learn how to accept things and learn how to be strong and have a never winding faith in our Creator.

Typhoon Sendong Dilemma: Walang Iwanan

2011-12-22T03:03:00.001+08:00

Watching the news lately always makes me feel down and sad. I feel helpless and I was thinking of ways on how I can help, even with the simplest way I can. I saw feeds on my FB page about how Typhoon Sendong devasted Cagayan De Oro and Iligan City.

I saw this blog post from Sir. Dave's Website and the image below was included in the post:

*Info from Donate Now at Philippine Red Cross

3 days to go before Christmas and I know God is too kind to let the people of the Southern Part of the Philippines feel lost and down. I believe that everything happens for a reason even though most of the times, we can never understand the why's and how's.

Let's all pray that we all see the Sun shine again at it's finest. That God give us the strength, hope, love, courage and understanding in what we are all facing each day.

I pray that the souls of the people who passed away and people still missing due to the Typhoon Sendong find rest and peace for eternity together with our Creator. I also pray for their family who feel sadness that not even Wiki can define.

I still feel sad about other Filipinos who suffered great loss, I am sending out a prayer for anyone who needs it.

Finally! My Very Own SB Cherry Planner!

2011-12-21T02:48:00.000+08:00

I was lucky enough to get my SB Cherry Planner 2012 for only 14 stickers. It was the last day for their 14th birthday promo and I am really glad I got the chance to have my very first SB Planner. =D

I have been wanting to have one for years now, sadly I wasn't able to get one from over the years. I consider this as a gift for myself this coming Christmas. =D

I also love collecting notebooks (and pens too), so this is like a major collection for me. I will start writing down notes and random written thoughts on it starting tomorrow. I was actually thinking if I should just start on the 1st of January next year (maybe). =)

I want a special pen for my very special SB Cherry Planner! I will look for a pen later or maybe on Thursday.

I know it may seem shallow and all, wanting to have one SB Planner, but for someone like me who appreciates simple and little things in life, I consider this as a gift. =)

I should have posted about this some 6 days ago, but I was too busy lately and stress has caught up with me (grabbed me tightly and I don't think that stress is gonna let go that easily).

But still, I am thanking God for all the blessings. =)

One more major blessing to come *fingers crossed* No expectations, but I am hoping.

Missing Person: Coleen Grabido

2011-12-17T02:59:00.000+08:00

*Image from the Definitely Filipino Post

Name: Coleen Gabrido
Missing since December 6, 2011
Family's Contact info: 0915-9013848

Her child's wish for Christmas is for his mommy to come home.
Please offer your prayers that a child's wish will come true.
Please keep on sharing. This has been verified with the husband.

Details of her disappearance are as follows:
She is a registered nurse and left the house at around 1pm of December 6, 2011 for her IELTS review. The couple didn't have any previous arguments to consider Coleen running away, they also have a 6 year old child to care for and big plans for their family The husband has reported Coleen missing to the police and she was last seen at their Project 6 home.

Before she left their house, Coleen messaged her husband at about 12:40pm on December 6 saying, "Dad, papasok na ako. (Dad, I'm going to school)". That was the last text he received from her. The review center is just 15 minutes away from their home.

Coleen's husband tried to contact her mobile phone upon finding that his wife hasn't returned yet nor replied back to his messages. Her phone was still ringing in December 6 but next day, December 7 after 5pm, she can no longer be contacted.

Coleen is about 5'4" tall with an estimated weight 120-125lbs. The young mom at 26 had with her, her Nine West black shoulder bag, mobile phone, books and wallet. She did not leave their house with any extra clothing to dispute thoughts that she might have run away.

From her review class, Coleen usually arrives at around 10-10:30pm but she did not get to come home since the night of December 6, 2011.

-Moderator Mike at Defnitely Filipino's Page on FB

Please help her be found. A little sharing of this won't hurt.

Another priceless Christmas present for her family and her kid.

I am praying that she'll be found soon.

Thanks everyone! Have a blessed 2nd Simbang Gabi. =)

Thank You God for the Blessings

2011-12-07T03:49:00.000+08:00

Dear God,

I know that you have purposely closed another door for me because it is for my own good. However, I am very thankful because you have opened numbers of window so I can still see how good life is.

Thank you for the blessings.

Amen.

Edward Cullen to Bella Swan - Breaking Dawn Part One

2011-12-05T02:34:00.001+08:00

"It's an extraordinary thing to meet someone who you can bare your soul to and accept you for what you are. I've been waiting, for what seems like a very long time, to get beyond what I am..."

-Edward Cullen, "Breaking Dawn - Part One"

====

I watched the movie with my nieces Pepzy and Pauls. The movie was breathtaking and I actually cried when Bella was walking down the aisle. The scene felt so sincere and pure. It was love... Yes, what I like about this movie is how strong love can be. How strong it really is.

Whenever I watch or read The Twilight Saga, it makes me want to believe in love more than I can... to hold onto love and never let go.

To have faith that someday soon, that "One Fine Day" will come true...

I'll be waiting for the second part.

I am really busy these past few weeks and I will just take a short two hours nap and be back to work. I have long overdue tasks to accomplish.

Have a blessed week everyone.

Updates on the Missing Persons Posted

2011-12-03T04:35:00.001+08:00

It got me thinking, there was an anonymous person who commented on one of the "Missing Person" I have posted asking for updates. However, when I checked the original post over Facebook, I can't seem to find it. I was thinking that maybe the person who posted it deleted the post, for a reason I don't really know.

So here's now what I would do, post an update about these missing persons:

Lolo Matias: Found Already (It was on the news)

Sadelfin Leoncio: I visited the original post and according to his daughter, he is still not found.

Rosita Torres: Found Already (According to her daughter Reselie)

Lolo Marcelo Centes: This one got me thinking, the post was deleted I don't have an updated.

I wanted to thank the person who commented on one of my post, gave me an idea to post updates. I am just hoping that some people are not using this "Missing Person" thing to create yet another FB craze just like the previous not-so-good posts that flooded FB.

Have a blessed weekend everyone.

This Goes Out To All Gals Who Deserve That "One True Love"

2011-11-27T22:17:00.001+08:00

To All Gals I Care For:

♥ is sometimes powerful that we seem to take ourselves for granted... I have learned that whenever you feel you're not happy with that someone. Set yourself free and keep moving forward. Life is too short to waste on people who don’t care about you... Love and respect yourself.

I have experienced and learned how hurtful it is when ♥ gives you lessons that you should have to accept.

There is more to ♥ than meets your eyes. Be courageous to stand for yourself when no one else will.

Me Misses Taking Pictures

2011-11-22T05:21:00.003+08:00

I have been quite busy lately with work and I realized I missed taking pictures. I will somehow find time to take some good shots by the end of this month. *I promised myself that*

Also, I was browsing through the National Geographic's Photo Contest 2011. I would really like to submit an entry, however, I am not that confident that I'll have a chance to win. Still, I will have that one day and take that shot and submit my own entry. Even though I have like .05 percent of winning, trying doesn't hurt right? =)

I missed doing things I love to, like: sleeping, watching TV and my favorite movies, dining out, having coffee and spending time with my friends. I am now once again proclaiming myself suffering from: "Workaholic Me" Syndrome. Some people think I'm crazy for being one and I don't really care. I remember blogging once about why I love being workaholic. =)

Anyway, back to the "Missing Photography" part. Since I am an avid Yen Baet Fanatic, I plan on taking a night shot of a place here in Manila which is considered historical and submit it on National Geographic. =)

Yen Baet - She is a born and raised Filipina who won National Geographic's Exceptional Experience Photo Contest. Her photos inspires me so much and I would someday love to create a photo portfolio of places I'll be able to visit, only I will take pictures using the long exposure technique. Thank You Ms. Yen, for being an inspiration. =)

I know I have so much to learn, loads of photography gadgets to save for and eventually purchase. Places to see, near and far. I have a very long way to go... But I won't stop until I reached for my dreams and for the achievements that will somehow give my life a little spice.

As for now, I should be going to sleep. I still have loads of work to accomplish. More articles to write and more research to make. I do enjoy and love my job, not only because I earn $$$ from it, but also because I am given a chance to experience the best of both worlds every single day. "Writing" and "Earning a Living".

Toodles! =)

Please Help: From Reddie Js

I saw this old woman sitting by herself yesterday at the corner of buendia and roxas blvd yesterday. Surprised to see a bond paper pinned in front and back of her dress with a picture of a missing old man, i asked her about it and she said it is her husband who has been missing for two weeks now.

Gloring and The Greedy Hubby

2011-11-16T17:54:00.000+08:00

Given that Gloring has done so much "authentic good things" for Pinas and its people, it is really something that we should appreciate. Yes I fully agree. However, when she was the former President she could have done better and not submit to her "Tibang-Tiba Mike" for a husband who has been very Greedy and Unjust. She could have said a resounding "NO" when he wanted to stash loads of Salapi...

Gloring is sick, yes accepted. But no one can blame most Pinoys who have endured and suffered truly with all their not-so-good doings from before...

We can pray for her condition, that she gets well. But she and her husband must pay the price of being greedy and unworthy of the power vested upon them...

I Take Back My Word: Mr. Marquez

2011-11-15T14:15:00.000+08:00

I have posted on one of my previous blog post that I am congratulating Marquez for proving himself to be a good boxer. Oh, well... I AM TAKING IT ALL BACK.

I watched the match over and over and over again. I have noticed that he has been foot stomping Manny Pacquiao for some nth time. Hahaha! Really funny 'coz I actually thought that he really did fought a good fight. I know and understand that there may be times that a boxer may "accidentally" step his opponent's feet, but a lot of nth times is not just by "accident" you cheating fighter.

*got the image from a page in Facebook

Now the question is: "Is that how desperate you are Mr. Marquez???" Common! You can do better than cheating your way to winning right?

And even if the announcer was obviously on your side and not telling the whole world how you are feet stomping PACMAN, I would have to say that you defined who you are not just as a boxer but also a a person...

Now, I AM PROUD TO SAY: "CONGRATULATIONS PACMAN!!! You really are PINOY's CHAMP!"

So to other fighters who wants to bring it on, do your best to win without cheating. =)

Manny "PACMAN" Pacquiao is ♥

A Blessed and Happy Week for Everyone

‎"Whenever you feel that the heaviness of the world is too much to carry, always keep in mind that in your every single step, God is by your side cheering you can do it and that he will never leave your side..."

Remember, when you asked God to make you a strong person, he creates those little bumps in your road because he doesn't want you to be just strong, but also to be a better person, learn of humility and be thankful that when you get through all the struggles, you learn and you appreciate all the blessings you receive.

You value life.

A blessed and happy week to everyone. =)

Proud to be a Filipino: Congratulations again to "PACMAN" and to Marquez

2011-11-13T14:53:00.001+08:00

There could've been various reasons why Manny won this fight. First thing was that "Marquez" was the only word you can hear from the announcer. Second, most probably is that Manny was really good (I never once doubt his fighting skills), he scored really creamy points... However, ~~I also give my acknowledgement to Marquez, he did really good with that fight...~~

Congratulations to both Filipinos and Mexicans. =)

I still ♥ Manny Pacquiao with all my ♥!!! =D
