New House, New Life

2012-05-01T20:03:00.002-07:00

Finally after five years of wanting and wishing to have a house of my own, it has finally come true! Next month, I together with my hubby will be moving in to our new house in a hill. It's a subdivision near my mom's house. Not only will we have a chance to see her more often, we'll also able to bond with her more as the mall is just ten minutes away from our house. Though the place is farther from where I presently work, I still prefer to live there in the mountains. Mainly because it's so peaceful there. I feel the warmth of nature and it's away from the hustle and bustle of the city. I feel good about my decision and I'm looking forward to live there.

There are a number of things I need to buy for our new house. One of which is our dining set. I want our dining table to be made of wood as well as the chairs. I also need to buy lighting materials. My mom said I should settle for the usual incandescent lights but I want to add more drama into it so I'm thinking of putting some colorful Japanese lanterns in our entertainment room. Since I intend to have three bedrooms out of it, I would like to buy sliding doors for each. It's a space saver and I find it kind'a cute to have those in my house. I'm also thinking of buying a quartz composite worktop for our kitchen. I've found one over the internet and I think it would be perfect for our new cooking materials. God has really been so generous to us. I would definitely take care of this as this is God's gift for me and hubby. I hope through this gift, I can rearrange my life and be closer to my family and to Him as well. I love this life!

The Wise Use of Time

2012-03-09T16:28:00.000-08:00

I stumble upon one of my old blog entries and was able to see this short but very inspiring story..I want to share it with you as it is a reminder that you need not do the things the hard way to succeed. All you need to have is the knowledge on how to do things the right way...

Two men cut wood all day long. One worked straight through without stopping to rest. At the end of the day, he had a sizeable pile of logs. The other would chop for 50 minutes and then take a ten-minute break. At the end of the day, he had a much larger pile.

"How could you chop more?", asked the man who'd worked continuously. His friend replied, "When I stopped for rest, I also sharpened my ax." - Thomas B. Welch Jr.

Stress Reliever

2012-02-23T02:07:00.001-08:00

It's a great day for me! My hubby just called Pag-ibig fund and was informed that my housing loan application has already been approved. I was overwhelmed by the information. Although I am anticipating it, I didn't expect the approval to be so soon. I thank the Lord for this wonderful blessing He gave us. It's a start of a new life for me and my hubby.

I started feeling anxious about what the future might bring. I know God will never leave me and he will help me pay for this housing loan but I also know that I also need to do my part. I wanted to try a different path when it comes to my professional career but is having second thoughts. I feel I would be a successful work at home professional and a business woman but I still need to work on it. I need to save money for that. Well this day has been a milestone and my mind is really thinking so hard since earlier today so I tried to relax and played bingo online. I really play bingo whenever I feel stressed out and I want to relax and enjoy and I usually go to http://www.bingoboard.org/.

Quick Funds

2011-10-09T19:36:00.000-07:00

I was able to finish my fifth year in my current company, woohoo! I’ve been planning for quite some time now to resign and find a better opportunity in a different company but what holds me back is my early retirement pay. In my current company, anyone who reaches five years and retires after will be given an early retirement compensation. I would now be able to do things I want to do and buy stuff for myself after a long time.

This job really helped me a lot. I can’t really say I am ecstatic to leave the company. It’s just that the salary I’m getting isn’t really enough to sustain the kind of lifestyle I want to have. I had so many experiences running out of money and had faced a lot of difficult time wherein I need to pay something for certain products or services and yet, only a few bucks was left from my previous salary. There are also times wherein there’s an emergency in the family and I badly needed the money but payday is still a few days away. I’m not a type of person who asks for money from friends or relatives so I just keep the problem to myself. What I normally do is sell out my personal belongings on a much cheaper price just to have enough money to pay for whatever emergency it is, only to end up regretting my act afterwards. I really want to stay with the company since I don’t want to leave my friends behind and I am comfortable with the job I do but I need to make sure I can get money during emergencies.

Good thing, technology has found a way to provide us with the quickest way to solve such problem…and that is by online payday loan. I was browsing the internet for some institution who help employees in those kinds of emergency situations and boom, online payday loan answered it all. Online payday loan is a loan that employees can avail just by filling out an application form online. It is a short term loan intended to cover borrower’s emergency expenses until his next payday. It is also sometimes called cash advance.
To get this loan, you need ot be a US citizen, at least 18 years of age and are currently employed. Those are the three major requirements and you are now in the position to apply for payday financial loan, which includes cash payday loans. They just normally require proof of identification and often a piece of evidence from your workplace. Since fast cash advance is a great way to get the funds, I would definitely try this one soon if there’s a need for a quick cash. For now, I’ll stay with my current company knowing I can get funds quickly during emergencies.

Vaginal Mesh Medical Procedure

2011-09-28T21:55:00.000-07:00

Just recently, I stumbled upon a site that offers vaginal mesh procedure. I got curious and read the whole article. Have found out that there is a condition called vaginal mesh which occur when a woman's pelvic stretch and weaken to the point where they can no longer completely support nearby organs. This usually occurs as a result of childbirth, menopause or old age. Good thing, there is a procedure that helps people with this kind of condition. Though there are also a number of cases about medical malpractice on those procedures which results in a number of vaginal mesh lawsuit, I do believe that by proper medical training and proper information...these type of procedure will be perfected in time.

Off to An Active Lifestyle

2011-08-21T06:58:00.000-07:00

For four months now, things in my life have been routinary. I work for five days a week and during my restdays, I just stay at home with my hubby...most of the time just watching tv and sleeping. To be honest with you, I feel as if my life is just running in circles. It’s so boring. Maybe my weight is one of the reasons why I don’t like to go out often. I’ve gained 20 pounds for the past six months and I don’t want friends and relatives to see me in this body. Because of this weight problem, I enrolled myself in a three month gym subscription hoping to get rid of these 30 lbs off my weight.

To also have some spice in my current life, I purchased several dvds so that I can watch several movies at home with my hubby. I also want to buy a phone, a second one..something that has an ebook reading capability so I can read books at the bus while going to the office. In my search for the perfect phone, I stumbled upon a site called phone shops and have found several celphone units that I would want to have. The site is so cool that besides selling mobile phones, the phone store also sells the best mobile contract deals and pay as you go. One of my favorite uk mobile phones are Blackberry Torch and that gorgeous Nokia N97 mini. The site also offers mobile phone reviews that will enable them to pick the best mobile phone that would fit into their lifestyle.

I really hope my restday would not be as boring at it was this week. I am planning also to go to church this Sunday after seven years which would signify my new life as a new person. I don’t want to be lazy, I want to have an active lifestyle from now on. If I want to be a telecommuter and work at home, I need to start having an active lifestyle now or being a work at home professional would be a bad idea. I would definitely start working on it now. Wish me luck!

Writing Services for Students

2011-08-17T16:27:00.000-07:00

The internet is a vast technology and everyday it is evolving. Imagine, you can now purchase products or get services for a particular job in just a few clicks in the comfort on your own home...all because of the powerful internet.

Now, would you believe that there is a certain portal that can help you with your homework assignments? Yes you heard it right, it might be a haven for students who are struggling in their academic life. Students and even professionals who are not really into writing now can get the help of professional writers that can cover any topics you need to cover and any field of study you need to research. These writing services are often handled by professional writers or specialist in a specific field of study.

I sometimes wish internet is already available when I was still studying. It'll be nice getting those numerous writing assignments made by professional essay writing service. I bet I'll ace that A score on most of my journalism class.

Hire A Pro!

2011-08-14T16:48:00.000-07:00

I love innovation. I salute especially those people who find ways on how to make life easy to the public. I just stumbled upon a site that offers contractor leads to the public. Ten, twenty years ago..this type of service is almost impossible. Imagine, getting the service of a gardener, handyman, a programmer in just a few clicks in a single portal! It's just amazing how technology can turn things around. You need not make numerous phone calls to numerous phone numbers just to contact numerous people to do the job. By just logging in to hire-a-pro.com...you can sit back and wait for businesses to contact you and bid on your request. It's a win win situation for the customer as all you need to do is to give a short description of the kind of job you want to be done, the amount you are willing to pay and the specific area you are currently in. Soon those business contractors would bid to get the service and of course, you have an option to get the contractor that are willing to provide the service on a cheaper price. It's indeed innovation at its finest.

Another Business Venture

2011-07-03T20:32:00.000-07:00

Finally, after two months of waiting, we were finally able to open our store...just in time for the town fiesta last Sunday. The day before that, I and my hubby bought our stocks at the nearby Puregold Sta. Mesa. It's been a nice experience, we were able to bond and give out our own personal opinions on how to manage our store. I asked my hubby to just concentrate on our business instead of working abroad as I really can't imagine myself living alone anymore. Well, enough of the drama. We just promised ourselves that we would work harder so we could live comfortably and save for our future family. Lately, it seems like everyone is persuading us to start a family. Get married and have children. Yup, I think it's high time to get married already and have children of my own since I'm not getting any younger. At age 31, I should already have my first born. Well, if God would permit, I know it would happen. For the meantime, we need to focus ourselves in our business first. Things are doing pretty well right now, hopefully our business would be a huge success. Wish me luck!

My Friend's Pregnancy

2011-07-01T16:44:00.000-07:00

Anne, one of my officemates recently announced that she is pregnant! All of us got so excited because it's been a dream of her for the longest time now to bear a child. Though she is not yet married to her partner since she is still waiting for her petition papers for Canada, she feels having a child with him will strengthen their relationship. I really envy her because I also want to be a mom. Well, since I want to have some tips on how to cope with pregnancy, I always ask Ann of what she is feeling and how she copes up with vomiting and changing of hormones. She told me that sometimes she can't understand herself. She normally feels down and drinks some antidepressants. I immediately shared with her an article I've read about the risk of drinking antidepressants such as Zoloft during pregnancy. Studies shows that those mothers who take serotonin inhibitors such as Zoloft during pregnancy are more likely to have hypertension that those who haven't taken them. It would also definitely affect the newborns, as one of those zoloft lawyer said on the article. She thanked me for the information as she didn't really have a slight clue that Zoloft has a harmful effects on their babies. I would continue to reseach for her about how to deal with pregnancy. I am not only helping my friend but I'm also preparing myself for my turn.

Random Names

2011-06-25T16:35:00.000-07:00

Just last week my sister's family visited us and stayed at our place for one whole week. It is really an enjoyable experience as I get to bond with my niece AJ whom I haven't seen for so long. We went strolling to the mall and played games online. There has been a time when we tried searching for random names of people as we already ran out of things to do and you know what, it's fun! We even tried searching for my name Melanie and her name Angelica and we were surprised to see so many people having our first name with tons of different weird surnames. LOL. That's such a funny bonding moment. I would definitely miss my sweet little niece. Hope to see her again very soon.

Nice Pictures For Empoy's Birthday

2011-05-28T09:24:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was my nephew Empoy's 4th birthday! The celebration will happen tomorrow and I'm so excited to see him having fun. My sister who is working abroad already sent her birthday gift to him and even gave some extra money to use for his birthday party. Empoy is my older brother Elmer's son. His mother left him with his dad because she already have a family of her own. Though Empoy is a product of a mistake by his parents, we never see him as such. I would make it a point that Empoy would grow up just like any other normal kid. Living a life without his mother to support him is hard but I am here to fill in what is missing in his life. He would never be alone, ever.

So for his birthday celebration, I have made some funny pictures of him. I have found picjoke, a site where anyone could make a funny photo online. They do have a software that allows the users to create photoshop pictures online at no time. I never thought I could make funny pictures with photos found at picjoke. Here are some of the pictures I've made through the site. I love it!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR EMPOY! - LOVE TITA MIMI

I Need to Teach Him a Lesson

2011-05-24T18:38:00.000-07:00

My father just called in earlier today. He again wants me to give him his allowance in advance because their electricity will be cut off if they won't be able to pay it in time. This is not the first time he asked for money without prior notice...and God knows I always try to help him especially when I feel that he is already helpless. But this time it's different. Just last week I asked him to help me make some minor renovations on the store. I gave him money to pay for the carpenter as well as money to buy some linoleum for the flooring. I thought I already made it clear to him but I was shocked when he called me up the day after saying he wants me to give him another 1k as payment for the carpenter. I almost freaked out as I told him I do have a limited budget. Every cent I pay for the construction of the store is just enough for such budget and theres really no room for extra expenses. I guess he also felt that won't give in to his request so he agreed to just have the construction moved till the end of the month (which I would be the one to pay, again!).

I thought he already understood me, but to my dismay, he again called me up asking if I could give him his allowance in advance! I nearly cried, saying I don't want to hear such thing anymore. I don't know why my father always have a debt. I thought he already is a renewed man but just recently, my stepmother told me that he is still hooked into gambling. I try to understand him till now but I guess I need to give him a lesson. He can't always assume I always have money for him as I also have my own personal expenses. I never forget my responsibilities for them, for mom and dad, but I want them to enjoy the money I am giving them. I want them to experience living the life without worries and yet he always have a problem with money.

I would just let it pass this time. I can't always give in to his request because he might think it's okey to spend his money on his vices because her daughter always provides. I hate to do this but he needs to learn the hard way. Lord I pray that my father can experience the good life while he still can. Help me to be an instrument to this. Amen.

Bad Credit Loans

2011-04-28T17:58:00.000-07:00

People are not infallible. People makes mistakes, they sometimes tend to do things they would regret later...just like spending more than they earn, especially with the help of a credit card. Then after all the splurging and buying things ...the next thing you know, you're already broke and speaking with someone from credit and collections asking you to pay your credit card immediately. Soon enough, since you can't pay your bill - you'll end up blacklisted from all credit card companies - depriving you of financial security and a possible bright future ahead of you. What most people do not realize is that landlords, insurance companies, and employers -- not just banks -- check credit records. Your credit report allows these companies to look into your personal spending habits, your payment history, and will look into all aspects of your financial life. You won't imagine what a big mess could one slip would do for your life! What's good is that there are companies that is willing to help you revive back your positive credit rating! Those companies provides bad credit loans. It's a type of loan that was given to those people that doesn't have a good credit standing. It's like giving them one more chance in credit. If you need instant money and have a bad credit, it would be an extremely difficult task to apply for a bank loan...but through those companies that provides bad credit loans...that task is easy and can get approved instantly! You need not to wait for the normal 10 to 30 day waiting period, it could be approved in just hours! Check your options and apply for bad credit loans now!

Family Emergency

2011-04-17T17:31:00.000-07:00

Yesterday, my dad and little brother visited us for lunch. I'm happy to see both of them especially my brother because I wasn't able to see him for three months now. I never thought he had grown so fast! I let him use my computer which is now placed on our room as my father discussed with me something important.

My father has been a retired cook for almost ten years now, he owns a little store that sells out general merchandise, generating a small income daily. He is also getting a small amount of pension monthly. His wife is also working as a helper in a nearby restaurant. I know life is not easy for them especially now that my little brother would soon enter college. I know they are working harder to save for his education. This is the main reason why they visited me, he wants to ask for money since my brother needs to pay his tuition before the week ends.

I know my father won't bother me especially with petite problems. He only calls me up and asks for help when he is already at the end of his rope. Maybe because he knows what his mistakes are, leaving us for his new family. But past is past, I really don't have any bitterness or any ill feeling about it. The only problem is, I'm also short of cash and payday would be in a week's time. If he only told me three or four days before, I could've made some plans. Good thing, I remembered a site that offers Payday Advances! I hurriedly checked it out and found out that it only takes minutes to apply and do provides No Fax Payday Loan as well. I would definitely go for it. For my family, I would do almost anything. I just hope my brother realizes all our sacrifices so he could study harder, graduate, get a job and help his mom and dad live the life that they deserve.

On Our Seventh Year

2011-04-09T11:51:00.000-07:00

Today marks Jojo and I's 7th anniversary. It's been a while now since I've come to live with the best man I've ever known. Time flies so fast and here we are on our 7th year still in love...and with the same intensity as it was before. I know you are not a perfect partner, there are even times before when I felt I don't think we are for each other. But you proved me wrong and stood by what you have promised me before, that you'll gonna love me no matter what and you'll gonna stay by my side until the end of time... and we are still living up to that promise till now. Jojo, I know I am not a perfect lover as well. When I think about how I treated you in the past, I can't help but cry in dismay and regret. You don't deserve being treated like that and because of that realization, I promised myself that I would support you in whatever endeavors you want to take. I would support you as a loving wife supports his husband. Our relationship right now might not be enclosed in marriage but I believe in my heart and in my soul, we are more than husbands and wives. We are a team...we have this bond that will never break up. God is in the center of this relationship that's why I am confident that He will uphold us and will bind us together until the end of time.

I love you Jojo! Thank you for you the love and respect you generously provides.

I Miss You Syana!

2011-03-30T21:05:00.000-07:00

I would be seeing my dear friend Christiana next week with my two other friends Malen and Ruthie. It's been a decade since the last time I've seen her and I bet there are so many things that has been changed. First and foremost, she is now a wife to his husband Jhun. They have been married for almost a year now but since they are already based in Canada...we were'nt able to witness it. Secondly, I've heard the good news that she will also be a mom soon! Wow, that's the best news I've heard from her so far. They've been praying to have one long before and I'm happy their prayers have been answered.

Before I heard the good news, I planned to buy her one of those scarf I've seen in a mall. I have one with the exact same design which has been earning so many praises from my officemates.But since I've learned that she would be a mom soon, I've changed my mind. Instead, I'll gonna just buy something for her baby. I've discovered this cool site called Posylane which sells out all kinds of baby and toddler stuff. I picked that cute preschool nap mat and those stephen joseph backpacks cat quilted toddler backpack. I picked a neutral color because they are still aren't sure if their baby would be a girl or a boy. I love all the stuff their selling on that site and I ended up buying a cute lunch totes for my nephew as well for his birthday. I am also planning to buy another nap mat for another friend who'll gonna be giving birth to her child next month.

I am so excited to see my college bestfriend, we had so many memories together and our lunch date this Saturday would definitely be a wonderful and memorable experience for all of us.

Jojo's 34th

2011-03-29T17:28:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was Jojo’s 34th birthday. I really intend to
celebrate it with him that’s the reason why I applied for a vacation leave week before this day. I almost forgot that Jojo’s birthday is on March 29 and since I was not able to file for a vacation leave in advance, I asked my supervisor if he could have it plotted manually. Good thing, the manual PTO was granted. Anyways, we woke up at around 9am, still not decided where to celebrate his birthday… I browsed through the net and found this restaurant in Timog called Tramway Buffet that offers “eat all you can buffet” for only P205! I was able to find so many blogs giving positive feedback about this resto so we were excited to try it. The venue is just near our place so it’s not hard for us to locate it. Although it’s already 12 NN, the buffet table is still empty. The server said that there has been some minor problems earlier that’s why they opened late today. She said it would just take around ten to fifteen minutes of wait. So I took this opportunity to take some pictures of the birthday boy and the restaurant itself. The ambience is nice, a typical Chinese resto. It didn’t take long until the are was jampacked with hungry people. All of us are waiting for that moment the servers will fill the buffet table with sumptuous food. And so the much awaited time finally came, people

jampacked around the buffet table eagerly wanting to fill their plates with good food. Jojo fall in line ahead of me. I don’t want to lose our table only to realize that it has already marked for us…phew. Anyways, I was overwhelmed by the variety of food options…there’s corn soup for appetizer and viands like roasted chicken, steamed siomai, friend siomai, grilled fish, sweet and sour pork, omelet, tulya and California maki platter. Vegetable salad and desserts like fresh watermelon and papaya as well as buko pandan are plenty. I got full only after two servings…waaah! After about two hours of stay in the restaurant, the damage is only P448 for both of us. That includes the buffet charge and a coke in can. Superb!

I really enjoyed our lunch together and to celebrate this day, I want us to watch a movie together. Weve learned that there is a P15 movie shown in SM Centerpoint so we hurriedly went there to try it. The movie is entitled Killers by Charlize Terron and Ashton Kutcher. Unfortunately, half of the movie has already been shown when we came in. At the end of the movie, the security guard told us that it is only a “one time viewing”. Watda! We just went home disappointed but still laughing for that experience. At least, we’ve learned our lesson. We want to make this a habit so we would make sure we first call the SM hotline to know what the available movies are and what time would it start just to make sure. We thought of going to quiapo to buy some DVD’s but since were already sleepy and tired, decided to call it a day.

Thank you for this day Lord. I’ve never been so happy with our date as compared to this day. I’ve learned to enjoy my husbands company and enjoy discovering things together. Lord I hope you would give us a million of happy discovery moments together. Amen.

(Here's my full review about my experience in Tramway Garden Buffet)

Birthday Prayer

2011-03-26T07:31:00.001-07:00

repost from my other blog...

And my birthday prayer to the man I love.... "Lord, please bless Jojo. I know you know what the desires of his heart are, you're a witness to all his frustrations and fears, you know what his sacrifices are just to make this relationship works...you know how hard he tries to be a good husband to me and a good son to his parents....you know everything he has in mind. Lord, whatever those are, please have your way in him. I hope he would continue to be the man he is right now. The same Jojo I've come to know four years ago. Same caring and kind hearted man who never fails to bring a smile to my face after a hard day, the same Jojo who always considers my own welfare first before his, the same guy who loves me unconditionally inspite and despite of everything. I am so lucky to have a husband like Jojo who does'nt care if I'm getting bigger and bigger everyday, who does'nt require me to do the dishes and fix the house or wash our clothes....to have someone who after a "major tampuhan" would sit beside me and would want me to explain myside first before he utter his. ..a very loving and sweet soul who gave his heart to me without asking anything in return...." To you Lord, I offer my life and my love to Jojo and if I will be blessed to have him forever, please bless us and I hope I can be the one that can make him happy. Amen"

Birthday Gift

2011-03-26T06:48:00.000-07:00

My hubby who is celebrating his 34th birthday on March 29th and I still doesn't know what gift to give him. My initial plan is to buy NBA tickets for two since I know that he is an avid fan of NBA especially the New York Knicks. I plan to get those New York Knicks Tickets soon but I am still saving for it. I know my hubby would appreciate having those madison square garden tickets and I'm also excited to see him watch his favorite team play live in front of him.

Kirsten's Birthday

2011-03-20T07:01:00.000-07:00

Met my highschool friends again last Friday, March 11. Actually, the birthday celebrant Kirsten texted me a month before for her birthday and I promised her that I would be there. The day before the celebration, me and hubby went to Landmark/Trinoma to buy a shirt that I will wear specifically for the occasion and I already bought gifts for her. Strangely, on the day itself...though it's my restday...I feel so "tamad". I really planned of backing out since my friend Odette will not come since she does have work now in a call center as well. Luckily, when I texted my friend Pipa...he agreed to meet up with me so we can go together to the party. I've learned that his new boyfriend will come along with us. We then met up at GMA Kamuning MRT station where I was accompanied by my hubby. We will then go to the party together which will be held in Faustinos Grill in Timog. I'm thrilled to see my classmates I've never seen for almost sixteen years maybe? I'm so excited to chat with all of them. After the long chickahan, videoke and picture taking sessions the party ended but the birthday celebrant as well as my other friends decided to eat out again this time in Mr. Kebab. This is the first time I've tried that restaurant and I think their menu is affordable. I love their Strawberry Youghurt Shake which only costs P45. I ordered a chicken kebab with rice but I don't like the taste though their fried rice is superb! Maybe I should have tried their beef or pork kebab instead. The chicken dish they served me reminds me of nilagang manok without the soup. In general, I'm happy I didn't backed out. I had so much fun tonight! I feel I belong as ladyboy friends are so funny! I would definitely want to meet up with them again maybe for a sumptuous meal and maybe a movie date would do. Aja!

Consistency and Discipline

2011-03-08T21:28:00.000-08:00

As time goes by and my retirement date is fast approaching, I began to feel fear inside me. I fear for the future and what it holds for me. I'm afraid to fail in this life, I'm afraid not being able to live comfortably after I quit this job. I know my hubby won't leave me alone but in our situation right now, I'm afraid if we don't save...my plans of being a part time housewife will never come true. I know I'm the one who asked my hubby to stop working and just concentrate on our online work but our online income isn't enough to run a family. I know I still need to allow him to work for his own self fulfillment and to also help in our finances. Lord, I don't know what path you want me to take. I don't want to plan for anything anymore as of this point because things right now are not going to the way I want it to be. Help me organize my thoughts and achieve one goal at a time, consistently. I don't want to take note of a task again, feeling disappointed because I wasn't able to do it. Help me be consistent and disciplined Lord. Amen.
