I didn't cry because of the mail I got from HER.
I cried when HE called me.

Nope this isn't about a Love Story!

In as much as I want to tell the whole story, I know nobody would get it. Might as well not talk about it. Haysss!!!

Hopefully, things will turn out smooth...

I've missed a lot

Bad!

Last update is July '08... Bad!

Lately, i'm feelin' kinda lazy. Well yeah I have two blogs and both were left behind. Well at least i have updated the other one although not on a daily basis.

I'm feeling sick for a week now. I don't know how to cure this irritation and pain I had in my throat. I can't eat much. We attended a dhow cruise birthday party and am certain I was the only guest who didn't enjoyed the celebration. Foods are looking really yummy but I had to eat one dish because I can't easily swallow any food even drinks. I have to satisfy myself drinking H2O for 3 hours of cruisin' and just salivate on that icy pineapple juice served for me.

I've been taking cough syrup, anti-biotics, strepsils, and even tried erythromycin. But nothing's change... although I don't feel feverish now, the pain is still there and it sucks!!! I have to get well!!! Fully well!!!

cool! i won!

i won''t be going to office tomorrow but still need to get my ass out of my now orange-sheeted bed by 5:30am. i am actually going to the Philippine Consulate to have myself register in OWWA. my papuch will pick us up around 7:30am and since i am kinda slow 5:30 is really gonna be my alarm time. i do hope i won't get too lazy getting up this early. and really do hope i can fix myself quickly.

after the registration and everything, we might watch the film Mama Mia! I actually won a movie pass for this flick and a Mama Mia pink-strapped white beach bag. it's just one ordinary thursday morning when i decided to get myself a copy of Xpress 4 me newspaper, read it then notice the movie contest. i thought it's not bad to try to join coz all i need to do is to answer one simple question, write down my personal details, cut the paper and fax it to the number they have provided. when i turn to another page, i was surprised to see two more movie contest. i was actually hoping to win in either The Dark Knight or Angelina Jolie's movie Wanted. i remember i told my mates i don't like seeing Mama Mia. Surprisingly, I won! And since i haven't been in a theather for i guess 6 long months now, i can't let it pass, which is why we'll be seeing the movie tomorrow!

I'll be uploading the pics if i'm not busy for you to have a glimpse of that simple but cutie beach bag.

it's getting late again.. i'll try to regularly blog... well... we'll see...

PC trouble

noreply@blogger.com (miss henna) — Sun, 11 May 2008 09:04:00 +0000

While at work I open at least four to five files. Aside from that there are also websites running, yahoo messenger and outlook express. My PC at work is still running so smooth even all those apps are open. My past time is downloading music and other cool applications although sometimes if I find that the apps is not useful I will instantly delete it. I believe my PC is getting tired after two years of no maintenance. For two weeks my PC is running very slow especially when I opened multiple applications… or sometimes even if I am using only a single file and one open website. There’s no difference in the PC’s performance whether it is loaded or not. I tried several times to defragment and perform a disk cleanup. I tried deleting unneccesary files and my big collection of mp3s and photos, I even throw into junk temporary files. My desktop is clutter-free too. I asked the computer guy who came here last week but he said he can’t do anything coz he said it will be like this because I keep adding and uploading fiiles. He advised to use a blower to clean up the dust inside the CPU. But then he didn’t have a blower with him and it’s not possible for him to come back next time. We know that our boss won’t mind if our system keeps running this slow.

Every morning for one week I would try to delete files and check what else I can do make the PC performance back to its normal speed. But I really can’t do anything. I guess it needs to be upgraded. Because of all this deleting and clicking, I suddenly realized that I can’t open a folder. It is actually opening but when I double-clicked a folder it directs me to a Search window instead of showing me the contents of that folder. I recalled that I went to Folder Options and did something but restored it back, that is the last thing I know I did. But even if I tried to go back there and restore its default program it didn’t help. I tried to search online and walah! I got it! It says there that the problem normally occurs when you add or modify the File Folder or Drive entries in the Folder Options > File Types tab.

If you happen to encounter the same problem this is how you can fix it manually:

Open the Registry Editor. In the Start menu click Run. Then type regedit and hit the Enter key.
Once inside the registry, navigate to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell and HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Drive\shell.
In the right pane of both two folders, click (Default) value.Click Modify on the Edit menu.
Type the word ‘none’ in the Value data box then click OK.
Once done click Exit.

I tried the quick fix but it didn’t work so I guess it’s better you perform the manual fixing.

do you still love her?

noreply@blogger.com (miss henna) — Wed, 07 May 2008 07:58:00 +0000

If you can’t forget how someone broke your heart, does it mean you still love that person?

She left you only to find out that she has a new one. Eventually she got married, now having 2 babies then her husband died. She was in your home country and you chose to work in another country so you can forget the pain she has caused you. You have moved on. Finally found the right girl you truly love and loves you in return. In fact you both are planning to get married at the soonest after two years of being committed.

Unexpectedly while you’re in a busy crowd somewhere you heard a familiar voice calling you. It was not her but her mom. But you also met her that day since she was just around. You’ve seen her again after five long years. Her babies are with her as well. They were all on a tour in the country where you’re working.

They asked if you are married. You’re not so you said no. With your mature age they will certainly wonder. So they asked you if you haven’t found the right one. Again, you said no. They noticed that ring, the engagement ring. But you just told them not to ask. Don’t you think that’s unfair to your present girl, your fiancée? Surely she felt that tiny little pinch in her heart when you told her about it. It was like denying your love for her. Maybe it is acceptable if you denied the relationship with someone else for some better reasons, but you denied it to your ex-girlfriend whom you have loved so much before. Your ex-girlfriend who broke your heart and made you run around the city searching for her. Your ex-girlfriend who made you opt to leave your country to forget her. Your ex-girlfriend of four years. Your ex-girlfriend who made you miserable in the past. Your ex-girlfriend...

For sure she’d assume you have not moved on. And you said that is also what you want her to feel. But that makes your present girl wonder in silence.

If you can’t forget how someone broke your heart, does it mean you still love that person? If you can’t forget the pain someone inflicted on you, does it mean you still have feelings for the person? If you can’t forgive someone who wronged you, does it mean you still love that person?

techno tags

But then I got tagged by Crissy as well... it's a technorati tag also so I got confused which one to do.

I got curious about the rumors which Jhoy was saying in her blog about this technorati tag. Is there any truth behind that? Hmmmnn...

folow ur heart but think about the future

noreply@blogger.com (miss henna) — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 12:37:00 +0000

Few weeks ago a friend consulted her problems with us regarding some matters of the heart. She was committed with someone for quite a long time, I guess for about 3 years. They loved each other so much although she was sometimes having hesitations if she will live a happy life with him. We have known each other for just less than a year. I can't say that we have known each other quite well, or that we are very close to each other. But I can say that she is a friend. A good one with a genuine heart. Some says that we can't have it all. If we are pretty, we might be dumb. If we are smart, we might lack physical beauty. She was a simple and good lady. Pretty and strong-willed, a generous one not only to her family but to her friends as well. But the only thing is that she fell in love with someone who was already married and to make it more complicated.... with kids. I know this was just another ordinary story. But I'd like to share it still.

I knew her situation before she even told me every details. Not that one of her trusted friend betrayed her for telling me her love story. But because this friend of hers who happens to be a friend also just wants to ask me what my view about that situation. Anyway, one day she spoke with us asking us what's the best thing for her to do. She said that she already told her mom about her relationship with the guy. Her mom didn't approved of course but then she can't do nothing. Both are working abroad. But the guy's wife and kids were back home. She says that there's no hint of unhappiness in the guy's family whenever he goes back home for vacation. But the guy is starting to get impatient with his wife because she's the type who can't stand on her own, she can't make her own decisions. He's happy with the second one because she has everything his wife don't have.

They have planned to get married. They wanted to live here together legally so they need to get married. She said that they have already arranged the papers to legalize their marriage. But I still wonder if their marriage can be legalize if a person married in 2 different locations but still in the Philippines.

We advised her to think about tomorrow, about the future. The consequences that might happen if they would still push it through. We asked her if she can't really love the other guy who's patiently waiting for her. If she can give the other guy a chance. The guy is unattached and having a good career as well. Yes there is another guy but she can't love him. I guess you can't really asked yourself to love someone if you really didn't feel anything special towards that person.

One day she told us that she really don't know what to do with it. It became even more complicated for her because one of her closest friends cared for her so much that she didn't even want to see that guy. She and her friend is staying in one house. So you can just imagine how hard it is for her coz she can't even asked him to visit her at home. Her friend would chose not to come home if she let the guy come in the house. If her friend find out that she was with him, she would sent a gazillion message to her asking her to go home and asking her if that is what she wants... to be a mistress forever.

There were days she would tell us that she finally got over it. She says she made a decision. She was telling us that most people told her not to. They (or we) are against them. So we thought, finally she chose the right thing. One night, to my surprise, she said... "tomorrow I will be called Mrs. XXX"

She followed her heart... She will be happy... But she will lose one friend maybe... She will lose some relatives respect if they learned about it maybe... Will she be happy in the next 10 years? That I don't know. But I'm praying she will be happy and won't regret it in the end.

The Beach

noreply@blogger.com (miss henna) — Mon, 14 Apr 2008 05:42:00 +0000

M and I used to spend time in the beach often. Normally when we want to swim or simply past the time just sitting there or eating something we brought from a Hypermarket. I remembered how I felt the excitement the first time the sea touches my feet. I reminisce the times I used to walk in the shore looking for sea shells, taking snaps of the tiny crabs, those jelly fish lying in the sand especially that blue one, and the dead sting ray those young guys took and buried in the sand. I missed that coz it's been half a month we're not going there.

But then last Friday we took our friends there since A wants to celebrate her special day in the beach far from so much crowd. Most beach here are crowded specially on weekends. I told them about this beach after the Burj. It was peaceful there when we first discovered the place. Back then there were only few friends and families gathering and celebrating there. Now i think most people learned about it and also started coming in this beach. But still it's not so crowded compared to the others.

It's a good thing they all agreed that the place is really nice and safe. So everyone enjoyed it.

Stop Global Warming

noreply@blogger.com (miss henna) — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 07:41:00 +0000

Holy Week and Easter Sunday

noreply@blogger.com (miss henna) — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 12:20:00 +0000

Like in the Philippines, we also have a 4-day holiday here in this sandy land. But it's not all because of the Holy Week. 2 of which is just our weekly 2 days off, 1 is of course the Easter Sunday and the other one is for the celebration of Prophet Muhammad's birthday tomorrow. Although this is a Muslim country they still pay due respect to the Christian's important holidays such as Christmas day and Easter Sunday. Yet some sectors disagreed to consider Easter Sunday as a holiday for their Christian staff and it's really a good thing our company's not one of those.

Holy Week brings back lots of things in my mind. As a kid, I was told of the things I shouldn't do as a tradition:

you shouldn't rejoice or be happy, just be plain, grieve and pray that He saved us from our sins...
you shouldn't fight with anyone...
you shouldn't eat anything with pork or any meat only chicken and veggies... or fast...
you shouldn't take shower after 3pm
you shouldn't play video games or with your play mates...
you shouldn't run around otherwise if you got hurt the wound won't ever heal...
you shouldn't watch t.v. or movies unless it's about good deeds and holy things...
you shouldn't listen to radio or music unless it is a holy program or a gospel song...

There would actually be no t.v. programs and radio stations during the Holy Week especially on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. Holy Friday commemorates the crucifixion and death of Jesus at the Calvary. During these tough moments of Jesus we should remember His sufferings that He did for our salvation.

Contrary to what have been told to me as a kid, I notice as I am growing up that there are people who choose to spend the Holy Week in the beach. That is what I can't understand before. I thought they are sinful coz they don't abide with what I knew the right thing to do during these holy days. Well anyway I hope that people won't forget what Jesus did for us all. So during the holy days I hope we all pray to honor and thank Him for everything and continuously ask for forgiveness as well as try to change for the better.

Sober and not wasted

noreply@blogger.com (miss henna) — Sun, 16 Mar 2008 07:00:00 +0000

I was crazy last Thursday for shouting at him. He was just talking at me advising me what to do. My mind was full of clutter. I was so tensed and trying to think what's the best option to pick. He was trying to tell me to choose the second option which I certainly think won't help at all. Later I realized I shouted at him. I was so unfair. We hushed until I decided to take some time to be alone. I asked him to drop me few blocks away from home. I wanted to clear my mind up when I step inside the house. I don't want anyone seeing traces of despair in my face.

Yet as my room mate ask if we're really gonna drink 2 tins of 500ml beer which we have stocked in the fridge since December last year, I replied with a broken voice saying "I really wanna get drunk tonight." I hated myself coz I found me bursting out in tears. I let my face sink in my pillow. That is the thing I really hate about myself. I easily cry even in such small problem and it makes people think I am weak. Anyway someone learned that we will drink beer so they asked if we want to order more tins. Since we are not really big alcohol drinkers, we ordered only 3 more tins. I said I'm gonna drink 1 tin and my 2 mates will each drink 2 tins.

So we spent the night drinking. I drunk mmmmmm.... half a tin of beer only. I actually asked for Ate's help to drink the remaining half of my beer lolz. I don't drink much now unlike when I was in college. Back then I love to drink although alcohol's taste wasn't very nice. And guess what? I only want hard drinks before! No beers at all. Now, I hate the feeling of being drunk. I hate to puke. I hate that I will turn all red and feel the heat whenever I drink alcohol even I consumed the slightest amount. So all I did the whole night is to take pictures and videos, eating, peeing, serving them, and laughing at them which has help me much forgetting the pressures I have been thinking earlier. An got wasted, though it was L who drunk more, and vomited on my bed so I and Ate was up until 1:30am cleaning and changing my bed sheet and pillow case.

The next day, I felt better and said sorry to him. I am listening to what he is saying and trying not to mix up my emotions with the problems. Still I need to decide what option I will pick coz it's as if choosing the right path for me to take. Or else I'll be doomed! :(

UAE Road Accident

noreply@blogger.com (miss henna) — Wed, 12 Mar 2008 08:11:00 +0000

While I was off for 2 days and busy dealing with my constipation, thanks to duphalac which made me feel a bit at ease today, I heard that there was an accident on Abu Dhabi-Dubai highway. I'm not sure if my bf exaggerated the news or whoever said that to him, that 15 people were killed in that horrific accident yesterday morning. Some says that it is because of the thick fog which made everyone's visibility low. 3 days back when I was going to the office, I notice the thick fog. It's as if you're walking literally in the clouds. I can't see the buildings and even the car in front of us. If it's foggy they said it's better you turn your headlight so you'll see whether your nose will bump in the car before you. But I don't think that drivers practice that yesterday. Well, we don;t really know how the whole chaos started.

Read below some excerpt of the news or if you want to read the whole story click it here.

Horrific accident on Abu Dhabi-Dubai highway near Ghantoot
by Rayeesa Absal and Kevin Scott, Gulf News staff reporters

Abu Dhabi: At least three people were killed and nearly 350 injured in a horrific 60-vehicle pile up on the Abu Dhabi-Dubai highway near Ghantoot on Tuesday.

However, Gulf News has learnt that the death toll could be five. The 25km stretch of the UAE's busiest highway from Abu Dhabi to Dubai was closed for more than five hours, resulting in huge tailbacks during rush hours.

Police said among the 347 injured, six people were critical, while 39 suffered medium injuries. The remaining suffered minor injuries. Police said 25 vehicles caught fire following the accidents caused by poor visibility due to the thick fog and lack of attention by motorists.

Quotes to live by

noreply@blogger.com (miss henna) — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 06:46:00 +0000

I'm feeling a bit frustrated early this morning. So I had to find ways to try to calm myself down. But before that I called up my boss and asked him about a very important thing as if confronting him. I went online and had a small chat with my best friend. I realized that although it helps us release our stress and tension to a confidante, sometimes it also develops a feeling of much more frustration and emotions while sharing with her the details. While chatting I did some google research and checked some tips. Tips and ways to forget dilemmas and stuff; and what needs to be done. I read inspirational and motivational quotes to clear my mind up. Finally, I read a nice quote as if that guy was just beside me and personally saying these lines:

"All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, and regardless of how much you blame him, it will not change you. The only thing blame does is to keep the focus off you when you are looking for external reasons to explain your unhappiness or frustration. You may succeed in making another feel guilty about something by blaming him, but you won't succeed in changing whatever it is about you that is making you unhappy."

That quote lightened me up a bit. So true, especially those in big bold red. Kudos to Wayne Dyer for his moving quotes.

"How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours."

This one is quite complex. If someone does you wrong, and you've managed to keep your patience but still continue to do something making you lose your temper - would you just smile and not react? Yes I am that person before but now I am no longer that type. But I guess I need to force myself to practice being patient again. If I react with complains then maybe my karma would be a lifetime of crying out complains. And I don't wanna spend my life like that.

"Be miserble. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice." "If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."

I want to live my life with serenity and contentment. So the best thing to do is to remind myself from time to time that I need to look on the good side of things. Whatever circumstances we are facing, there is a reason for that and in that difficulties He is trying to test how long we can manage to keep our cool and preserve our manners.

Now the heavy load were completely gone. :D

I wanna get Twisted

noreply@blogger.com (miss henna) — Wed, 05 Mar 2008 05:09:00 +0000

I'm not fond of reading and collecting books. But once someone hand me one I will surely read it. Back in high school I read a lot of novels but there are only a few number of books I love. I still have one novel in my bed which I am trying to finish. I hope when I'm done with that, I have another one to be read and that would be Twisted 8: The night of the living twisted by Jessica Zafra.

So when I stumble upon Melo's site I just couldn't wait to blog about it. They will be giving away 8 brand new signed copy of that book. If I'm lucky then that will be the first book I'll have with the author's signature on it. Wow that's lovely!

He secretly called me on his bedside and told me that he has a sum of usd $6.5M ( Six Million Five Hundred Thousand U.s ), deposited in a suspence account in one of the prime bank here in Abidjan Ivory Coast, that he used my name as his only Son for the next of kin in depositing of the fund.

Anticipating to hear from you soon. Awaiting your reply immediate and God bless.

Jack Dikko.

Please reply to my private email box below: (jack.dikko1983@yahoo.com)

This was the nth letter I received from a scammer. It's surprising to know that they are everywhere. Before, these people will mail you directly in yahoo. But now they have a lot of alternatives to contact you. Now, they'll get you in networking or communities you've signed up in. My bf got a message in friendster before from a lady who says she's stuck in a certain camp in Senegal who happens to get a large sum of money but couldn't get it for some reasons. So she wants to tie up with him (my bf or anyone she's mailing) to get the money and in return she will be YOURS and you will get some money from her as well. I tried to trick her by letting her feel that I'm ignorant of what she's up to - to see what answers she'll give me while finding out ways to block the yahoo account she's using. Although blocking her account may not mean she can't do this scamming thing no more, I still sent her email address to yahoo.

A colleague's friend received a mail from someone claiming to be a staff of some company and informed her that she won a car. In order for them to ship the car they need to send some documents to her, and sending the docu's means sending that company money. I printed out sample letters of the same which I got from the web of that having the same serial winning code. I thought that will help if she present it to her friend. Yet my colleague's friend is determined to continue coordinating to the staff by calling them. She has sent money as well. We haven't heard a news that they received a car til now.

Now the mail I've pasted above from a certain Jack Dikko was sent through my Mobango account. I've no time now to have their email address blocked coz it's useless wasting my time since they can have free email accounts whenever they want to, one person may have a thousand email addresses for the sole purpose of scamming.

Be careful. One thing we should bear in mind is that - we won't win in any contest unless we join. Don't be a dumbass!

Sleep-deprived

noreply@blogger.com (miss henna) — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 04:08:00 +0000

It feels good that I had a peaceful sleep last night although I doze off a little late again (1:00am), but at least I slept straight which makes me feel like all my energy were restored. For the last two nights since we shifted to a new room, I was deprived from sleep. Whenever I feel groggy and my eyes are retiring I will suddenly feel something biting me. Then I'll flash it on with my fone checking if there are any bugs or insect in my skin. I found one in my bed the other night, two very small insect on the 3rd night and one last night.

The other night in between the feeling of dozing off and the need to get up and check my bed and skin, I wasn't able to sleep. I am not sure what time I really fell asleep but around 2:30 am I am awake. So the next day in the office I was like drugged and felt as if I'm floating and will collapse at any time. I decided to take a half day, went home, change my dress and sleep. I slept for 2 hours (3-5pm) and if my bf didn't ring me up then I'll be sleeping until the evening.

I have experience the same thing a year ago and that was much worst than what I'm going through now. I wanted to shift again maybe next month coz I don't think I will be comfortable in this room if I stay longer.

Thank God

Somehow I've managed to resolved some problems I've been thinking these past few weeks. My room mates & I have finally found a decent room which is not that much expensive although a little costly than the previous rooms I've rented. But still I should accept and expect that since cost of living is soaring up here - it will definitely include the room rents. And be thankful that the one we found was not overly expensive and not uber small. At least we can:

still move around without bumping into each other's knees and head lol
we have a bigger bathroom
we still have our own kitchen
an internet connection if we wish to
a garage for everyone staying in the villa if one of my room mate finally got a car!
and a small hall as well for our visitors or boyfriends lol

We have already packed most of our clothes and will shift by the end of this month. Funny coz it's just across the house where we are currently staying. It will be real easy for us to shift then.

My brother and my bestfriend told me that they will make a fake wedding invitation for me to use in my plan. Each of them will do one, good! So I can at least pick the best one. But it should reach me by March!

Later this morning I was suppose to go to the rest room when I realized that someone's inside so I decided to just go back to my seat. As I was walking my boss asked how am I. I said I am fine and put on a little smile. He then called his fiance's name who is sitting in her office just opposite where my boss is sitting. He told her as if confirming that they need me to work for them in another company he has started months back. I was surprised with what I've heard. Shocked because what they are telling me is illegal in this country's law. They can't just put someone in a company when the establishment has no trade license yet. But in fact there are already someone working for that company and they are giving out our company's number to customers. When he asked me about that I stood dumbfounded in front of him. I don't know what to say if he asked my reaction regarding the matter.

I felt as if I am dreaming that it's appears I just woke up from a deep slumber when he asked me his usual question to greet me, "Did you cry today?" I just smiled and head back to my seat. Thank God he didn't ask If I'm agreeing on the job proposal or not. At least I got the time to think and plan on what I would say the next time they ask me about it. I immediately informed my colleagues about the small chat I had with my boss and of course they too have this negative thought and reaction on what our boss wanted to happen.

If that's the case then he's giving me the good reason to send and hand him something I'm itching to file. If it's gonna push through it'll be much easier for me as well to make the move I've long been planning. I'll see what's gonna happen next.

I'd like to think that it is somehow God's answer to my prayers. I hope He is there to help me find my way out of this mess.

how do i deal with my life's dilemma

noreply@blogger.com (miss henna) — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 06:51:00 +0000

I feel uneasy today, my mind is pre-occupied with all things I need to do. Though yesterday I started some parts of the tasks, I still feel unhappy of it. That is because, I want to list down my plans perfectly. And I want to see good results. These are what's inside my messed-up mind:

Problem#1: My roommates and I need to shift to a new room by the end of this month.

Without my roommates a year or months back, I handled it myself well. I haven't met them yet so I was alone with my bf's help searching for a new decent place to stay. I found one, and that is where I met them. I got to know that they are those few people who, although not totally perfect, are good by heart. We all decided that we will all again stay together in a room. Problem is we can't find a comfortable, neat and affordable place. Expenses here are soaring up like crazy except for the salary. Not a good news. Clock is ticking so fast that we realize we have only 9 days left. Although we still can stay til 15th of the next month, we prefer to leave end of this month coz it will be better for us. But golly! I tried to inquire the other day and I couldn't really find a good one. But thanks for the offered help of some friends here.

Problem #2: I need to prepare a letter for my vacation this April to inform my boss ahead of time.

I just finished composing that letter this morning and it's in my draft. I will be sending it 1st of March.

Problem #3: Okay. I'm done with the letter. But I need to reason out to make the vacation really important although I am entitle of it as my annual leave vacation.

Fact is, my boss is delaying the annual vacation of his staff. Two of my colleague are waiting for their ticket or just the equivalent money which was delayed for 2months now. And so, I thought of something very important for most Muslims. But is as well important for everyone not to miss.

Problem #4: Do you think my plan will work?

I am not sure. But what I have plan is to tell them that I badly need to be in my country before the 25th of April since I am looking forward to be with my family on the day of my brother's wedding. What do you think?

Problem #5: Hey I need a proof!

Yes I need to prove them that there is a wedding coming up. And I need a fake wedding invitation, I feel it's better to show them an invitation even they might not ask for it. Just to show them that there really is a wedding, although I am just bluffing. Okay. I will become a cheater, a liar, a bad girl maybe. But nothing will happen if I also do nothing. They can't see the point why we, overseas workers, needs to go home for a vacation, at least for a month.

I'll tell you a situation which actually happens to their filipina housemaid. My colleague have a communication with her during her tough times. She was waiting for her vacation as well like my other officemates since they can already avail their vacation. She has valid reasons why she keeps on following up her flight ticket to him, but he was ignoring her. She needs to go back at least for a month in Philippines because of her dying father who's requesting to at least see her. But he is rejecting and when she says the real reason why she can't wait to go home. You know what he told her? "What will you do when you're there? You will just cry there!" Wicked guy, stupid mouth! He lost the compassion he has in his soul years ago when he met his most wicked fiance. I wonder what they feel when they lose a family member in their life?

But then the maid is patient enough to wait until she has the right to fight against him or them. She was especially admirable for shouting back at him when they had a big argument regarding her vacation and warned him of the problem she can give him if he keeps delaying the process. Coward him coz right away he process everything that needs to be done and so she is in the Philippines now with her family.

Problem #6: I can go on and on with my problems...

but I guess I will have to think about it when it's there. For now, can you just send me a fake wedding invitation sealed in an envelope with my brother's name and any girl's name on it? I would be glad to tell you more details. Or maybe you can help me out and give me an alternative reason...

But hey! I am happy with my life even with all these hardships I need to deal with.

Qassia means traffic

noreply@blogger.com (miss henna) — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 07:16:00 +0000

I mentioned here a month before that I am coming back to blogger just because I want to earn some moolah. Although a little impossible since I can't just sign up especially to those sites where you can really earn some cash through blogging for that reason I have posted a month ago. To earn money from blogging means you should have more traffic too. I was busy last month trying to publicize this site, signing up to almost every blog communities I see. There were some people who left me a message in my shout box and it was great. Since I started this blog here and I just stopped updating it, the visitor reports coming from sitemeter is a clear zero everyday. I was amazed that when I signed up to at least 3 or 4 communities, visitors at least are coming here and reports are no longer zero.

As I was checking my Advertlet I notice a new ad on it. It was an invitation from Josh to join Qassia. I think this one is another site which can help bring more traffic in my site. The site urges you to add your websites, and instantly you will get unlimited backlinks just by signing up for a beta testing account. The site doesn't require you to reciprocate as well.

I am definitely gonna go and sign up, why don't you join me there too!

What's wrong?

noreply@blogger.com (miss henna) — Mon, 18 Feb 2008 06:56:00 +0000

I am disappointed. I surely can't understand why blogger is slow. Whenever I am posting a new entry, the first thing I'll do is to refresh it or just save it and view the new post. Yet I didn't see any new posting except for the previous entry I have made. Sometimes the last two new entries weren't there as well. It sometimes appears after one or two days. But I can't leave this second home now.

Just now I tried it. I posted it without these paragraph I am starting now. Okay. I forgot to change my font style and size. I thought of seeing how it will look like. But it didn't show this entry and the other two posts last week. It was showing only until that Ed's Name Game Contest. What should I do about it?

Hmmm.. I'm not sure if you are experiencing the same thing. Or whether you can see the latest entries and it was me who can't see the updates.

Play and make a difference

noreply@blogger.com (miss henna) — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 13:12:00 +0000

In my sidebar just right there in the middle, you can click and see the current Ad featured by Advertlets[dot]com. You can also check it here to join the fun while donating rice to hungry individuals. Its goal is (1) to provide English vocabulary to everyone for free, and (2) to help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free. Isn't it entertaining and educational? At the same time we are helping them.

To play, all you need to do is click on the right word which best defines the word they require you to answer. If you get it right, you get a harder word. If wrong, you get an easier word. For each word you get right, we donate 20 grains of rice to the United Nations World Food Program.

I tried it myself and played the game. First I have donated 60 grains of rice. But my connection slowed down. So I reconnected and I donated 180 grains of rice. Woohoo! How many grains should I donate to give at least 5kilos of rice? Anyway, if you want to help me give at least that much rice, please click the link I posted above or the Adverlets I have on my sidebar if the ad still appears. Thanks!

Be my Valentine

noreply@blogger.com (miss henna) — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 05:14:00 +0000

Valentines is a special day where lovers express their affection for each other. Normally they'd exchange gifts or valentine cards. Some guys send their girls roses, perfumes or if we, ladies, are lucky enough, expensive gifts such as jewelries or gadgets. Back in school days, I remember our professor leaving us with a project in which we need to make a personalized Valentine card. The output is always the same; a white bond paper folded in four with red heart-shaped cutouts in various sizes glued in front or even inside the card, and sometimes it has cupids too! :D I regret that I didn't keep or at least take snaps of my school projects. I could have posted some of my artistic works before, which was filed and kept in my grade school's museum. As a child I really enjoyed drawing things and faces especially of ladies. Now, I don't sketch or draw or create anything artistic. So I guess I lose the artist in me.

Now, let's go back to the topic. Two days from now and the most romantic day for lovey-doveys will be celebrated - Valentines! I'm certain that there's gonna be rush in the roads. Definitely lovebirds will be out to fancy restaurants in hotels already booked a week before. Valentine concerts will be here and there. In fact, I was invited to watch a mini-concert of Aiza Seguerra (I wish it was a Maroon 5 concert at least) but until now I haven't decided if I'm gonna come with him or not. And this one is a fact: flowers will become costly from today til Vday.

Here's an extravagant and wonderful date I heard last night from my friend. Not actually a Valentines surprise, it's a birthday treat - yet it's as sweet as that! She said her colleague-friend (who was tasked to book the date) told her that one of their bosses in the company invited is wife for a date in one resto inside the Burj Al Arab - it cost around AED 700+ per head. Not bad coz I've seen the same range from other classy hotels here - and we're talking about Burj Al Arab - known as the World's Seven Star Hotel. Both of them were fetched by a luxurious limousine as their transportation - my friend forgot to ask how much it cost her boss renting that limo! That's pretty romantic and special! So if you want to be my Valentine - that same thing is what will make my heart's day complete and lovely. Not too much to ask for, right?

The cost of staying in a suite begins at $1,000 per night and increases to over $15,000 per night; the Royal Suite is the most expensive, at $28,000 per night. (source: wikipedia)
