Angels in us

There must be a happy angel lurking in our work place today.  Everyone seems so hyper and cheerful.  In contrast to the sad and irritating news about the future of our account/project transitions yesterday, most of us are having a joyful mood right now.  We ate together in the nearest food store outside our office and shared some good stories about us.  The people in our warehouse, though I saw them very busy with their loads, they groove to my dance music and keep laughing with their dancing style. If I only have my camera with me, I can even post their weird steps in youtube (ha-ha!) Even the bosses here are quite in their spirited self.  I can now believe that an angel showered us with a happy dust. 

We even pose for this picture (they called us the 5S, in line with our company’s campaign for this famous Japanese management methodology) =)


Anyways, it’s Friday again and weekend means rest! There’s a 3 day sale in the nearest mall and most of all, it’s payday time! It can be one good reason to be happy, right? So I'm wishing you all a happy weekend blogging friends! Enjoy! =)

Poker Face

poker face n. A face lacking any interpretable expression. 

That is my current mood right now.  Well, it’s not about work.  I just need some breathing air in our house, and I don’t know why I am like this.  Maybe because I’ve be having my monthly period any day now or I just can’t understand the so many reasons why.  And here I am again, giving them silent treatment and making myself locked up in our room. Even though the side of my mind keeps on telling me to let it go, still, the other side of me wants me to shout it out loud.  I know it may sounds childish and my friends really laugh out loud when I told them the whole story.  They only said one thing to me… I married the whole family of my husband and that is something that I should learn to accept till forever. What else can I say?

All My Life

I will just keep these lyrics on my mind to remind me of that one thing.  I knew that it is most difficult in your part.  But you have to understand, too.  I just wish you would.

ALL MY LIFE

All my life, without a doubt I give you
All my life, now and forever till the
Day I die, you and I will share

All the things this changing world can offer
So I sing, Id be happy just to
Stay this way, spend each day, with you

There was a time, that I just thought
That I would lose my mind
You came along and then the sun did shine
We started on our way
I do recall that every moment spent
Was wasted time but then I chose to lay it on the line

I put the past away
I put the past away
I put the past away

All my life, I will carry you through
All my life, between each hour of the passing days
I will stay with you

There was a time, that I just thought
That I would lose my mind
You came along and then the sun did shine
We started on our way
I do recall that every moment spent
Was wasted time then I chose to lay it on the line

I want this all my life
I want this all my life
I want this all my life
I want this all my life
I want this all my life
I wanted this all my life

Tired Eyes

For the meantime, I know I have to stop from reading books, watching TV and most of all, staying in front of my PC surfing the net.  My eyes are getting tired and I’ve have been straining them the whole day and night.  And now, I have with me a heavy feeling and dreamy looking eyes that wants me to sleep so they can rest, ha-ha!

 

We didn’t go out yesterday because it rains the whole afternoon and my hubby was so disappointed because he was locked up in the house and all we did was to watch VCD movies and eat.  He then asked me about my plan on my birthday.  I said I’m torn in celebrating it at Laguna or we just have a Friday gimmick that day.  But actually, I don’t wanna think about it at this time.  But I hope it doesn’t rain that day, I’ve been spending my rainy birthday every year.

Cool life with Auto A/C

When the A/C of my uncle’s Ford Everest car broke down in the middle of our way home back from Tagaytay, the mid afternoon sun didn’t spare us the heat and the fact that we were all crammed inside the car with our pet dogs. We all felt sick and my dog suffered heat stroke because of that.

My sister told him to check on dieselpartspros.com so he can get all he wanted for his car. They even offer the lowest price on any auto A/C and other diesel parts like diesel turbocharger, fuel pumps, diesel injectors and more for most cars. They only give you genuine and quality replacement parts with warranty. And most of all, their staff is customer friendly and very knowledgeable in assisting their buyers. It will surely help my Uncle so we won’t suffer the same fate as before when we travel in the middle of the intense heat without the car's A/C.

Picture Perfect

My sister used to print some of the pictures in her camera, especially during special occasions when Vince was on it. I wonder if this is necessary since you can upload it in your PC or either in your Internet sites. But then again, I thought printing the pictures can also be good because you can only choose among nice pictures and leave those unnecessary ones (bad angle, blurred or unwanted stolen shots) and you can put it in an album or scrap books and show it to everybody.

I have thousands of pictures in my PC for every occasions, events, parties, reunions and vacations we had. I see to it that I had souvenir shots on them. Now, I have them reprinted, no, not all of it, but those with good shots only. We knew one printing shop in Quiapo that offers only P3 ($0.06) per 3R size pictures and 8x10 size for only P27 ($0.57) per print. It’s more than half the price difference from printing shops in the shopping mall. I am all smile looking at some photos, I never did see some of it intently when viewing at the PC. It’s different. And the next step is to have some nice photo album and cute designs around the pictures.

Place like Home

I just knew from my other siblings that my brother bought a house somewhere in Alabang, Muntinlupa. I thought that was a good investment and idea since he has a growing family to take care of. But unfortunately, his partner wanted a house in the province, but then he proceeded in buying the house and lot. He’s working abroad, so he asked my eldest sister to process all the necessary documents on his behalf. Never have I imagined when my sister asked us to visit the place that it is quite pretty cool and the ambiance is just great. Oh, I really wanted to buy our own house. But we need to settle first some obligations before we can plan about it. And hopefully, this year, more blessings to come for us and for our family.

Here’s the exterior part (still under construction) and the first visitors of my brother's house (all smiles!) =)

A date with Harry Potter

We watched Harry Potter 6 movie at IMAX in Mall of Asia last night. Since IMAX has reserved seats, we purchased our tickets two weeks before the show date so we don’t need to endure the long lines at the cinema lobby. Though, I think that Transformers beat HP6 in that area. Being an avid HP reader, of course I knew that the movie will not be that good as the book itself. They just prepare the audience for the last sequel and that is Harry, Hermione and Ron asking a lots of why and who in the end. They don’t even elaborate on why Snape was called the half-blood Prince. And they never gave Albus Dumbledore the grand exit in the movie (the white tomb chapter) after being cursed dead by Snape. While walking home, hubby asked me why is Aragog (the giant spider) doing dead near the house of Hagrid. I’m a good story teller so I explained to him all the cuts and missed of the story lines. This is the 6th movie and maybe I was hoping that they will make it very good this time. Again, I'm a bit disappointed but the special effects is awesome. We should give them that credit. After all, I love Harry Potter period.



When I was passing through the pages of my HP6 book yesterday, I noticed the date hubby first gave it to me (he always do the book reservation in National Bookstore so I can read it first before it leaked in the Internet) and it was dated July 21, 2005.
Imagine, 4 years ago! And reading it again feels like I never read it before =)

I’ve heard that they will have 2 parts movie for the book 7. Good luck then, the Deathly Hallows is an 870-pages book and involves lots of action. I just hope they stick to the story in the book this time.

When Rain Falls

It is raining non-stop since last night and I think most of Manila areas are already submerge in floods as of this time. I was so late at the office this morning that I was forced to filed half day leave so I won’t get a written warning next month. But I am not alone because most of us are all late and wet and we shared the same sentiments, super traffic. I can endure the rains and a little flood but not the 2-hour traffic on my usual 30 minutes travel going to work. And when I reached the office, I am soaking wet and my head aches (till now). How I wish I should stay home that morning. And I hope this will never happen again tomorrow.

Most of the couriers informed us that they will cancel their shipment delivery and pick up because most of the areas are flooded and major roads are traffic and they are being recalled by their dispatcher back to their office/warehouse. But one particular email from our air courier made me smile. He sent a picture on how flooded their area is to justify his reasons on the delayed pick up or delivery. Here’s the picture he sent to us.

It is still raining hard outside and I wonder how much time I will spend staying in FX taxi before I can reach home. I should recharge my mp3 just in case.

Old and New

We did a lot of adjustments after we transferred to our new warehouse since last year. Here are the few changes in our working lives.

From just a few step out to buy lunch or snack and even break fast to the many but safe foods stalls in our former office in Libis, Quezon City or when you feel your kind of generous to dine in a posh restaurant or budgeted fast foods to this open area food store outside our warehouse office.


From the coolest spots and views at Eastwood City versus South Luzon Super highway sights while eating our lunch. Actually, this is where we go instead of eating in the warehouse canteen because the foods here are really delicious and cheaper. Just add a little "pepper" air to spice up our foods =)


And most of all, how we wish we can actually see a true romance that may (or may not) blossoms from these three (in a crowd?) people. When and how? Well, we can only speculate =) we still have to wait for the next chapter. It's been a long time since we had an office love team. The last one happens to be forbidden (ha-ha!) Come to think of it, they are just like Edward-Bella-Jacob of Twilight Saga. How romantic! lol!

Golden Hands

When it comes to cooking, I am all praise to my mom who never gets tired in cooking for us whenever she has time and our family is complete.  I guess I learned my cooking skills from her.  I remember when I was young, when she’s busy on doing some chores and can’t continue on cooking, she would asked me to do it by just giving me instructions on what to do next or what ingredients I’ll be using.  And I have this fashion to make it taste good because my siblings are very sensitive eater.  They wouldn’t eat your viand if it’s bland or half cooked.  I sometimes complained to them that they should cooked their own food (he-he) They are my constant critics but that made me challenge myself to learned my mother’s way of cooking.

 

When I saw my mother and my aunt making "Suman" (sticky rice in banana leaf) last Sunday, I was amazed on how my Mom is good on doing it.  It’s requires lots of skills and patience but she’s doing it for us.  Now I have my own family to cook for and I was so thankful that she taught me how to cook before.  I often miss her way of cooking for us and sometimes I called her to cook my favorite food and I will just pick it up in our old house and share it with my hubby at home.  Most of all, I feel great that at least I’ve got a fair share on my mother’s golden hands.  And hubby loves it.

On His Special Day


our handsome Papa and his korean pose =)

We celebrated Papa’s 71st birthday for two days.  We managed to adjust our respective schedules and that made our father very happy.  Saturday morning was our schedule to Makati Medical Center for hubby’s blood check up, we finished it just in time for my sister to pick us up in our house and went to Little Quiapo’s restaurant somewhere in BF Homes, Paranaque.  My other sis was already there and already ordered the foods and once we are all seated the foods were served.  The foods tastes good and the crew are attentive and very courteous, when we sing Happy Birthday to Papa, they sing with us too =)


Happy Birthday, Papa!

at Little Quiapo's restaurant

2nd celebration at home

After lunch we went to MMC again to get the result but this time, I was able to borrow the car of my sister so we strolled first in Ayala Malls. Sunday is Papa's birthday. His only sister and her family came to Laguna and we had a small feast at lunch and I was able to locate in the net the famous pitchi pitchi and pansit of Amber Restaurant in Muntinlupa and their specialties are what we shared that afternoon with them.  The kids went on swimming and I know Papa is happy just to see his whole family in his special day.  Again, we missed our only brother in this occasion but hopefully he can have his much awaited vacation this August.
