Living Mye Life

Typhoon Falcon caught us all by surprise today. With no storm signal raised within Metro Manila and classes of students was suspended later this afternoon after they were all gone to school, we experienced heavy rains and winds just when most of the employees and college students are about to go home. The local weather bureau announced late at night that Manila is under signal no. 1 and classes in elementary and high school is suspended tomorrow not because of the storm signal but because of many flooded areas rising up to chest deep.

Before I take off at the FX taxi I’m riding, it’s already raining cats and dogs. I thought to myself, this is not good. No strong umbrella and jacket can last to this kind of rain and winds. I saw how flooded the streets and roads going home and I’m all wet from head to toe walking to our house. I immediately take a warm shower because I’m afraid to catch cold or fever, not this time that baby Nathan sleeps beside us.

I took the picture below while riding the jeep going home. We’re passing through the main road that becomes a virtual water world.

Keep dry, blogging friends!

When my eldest sister decided that it’s time to go back home and resigned in her job abroad, we know she needed to maximize her savings. She’s been working in other countries for so many years and just felt that she wanted to be with her family. She kept on planning for any business opportunities and or alternate work she can apply knowing how hard living nowadays without any regular job. She dreamed of becoming rich someday and I said she can do that if she knows how to negotiate her way to success.

My sister is quite shy in person and she’s really having a hard time making her way to other people. She’s always hesitating in making the first move but I believe with some proper training she can be successful and full of confidence even when not working abroad. We really wanted her to just stay here with us because we tend to worry on many things when one is away from the family and besides she not getting younger anymore and she needs to think to should focus more on her future. We really hope she can make it this time because she deserves to have all the best in her life now. We will all be here for her and pray for her success.

My friend encountered a big problem and she was so worried she talked to me about it on the phone in the wee hours of the morning. Her problem, she failed to file her income tax return on time because she was out in the country for some time and before she knew it, the deadline ends. Now she’s afraid she might pay for the high penalties. I told her there must be some other way to pull it through, she just have to think of any possibilities not to pay any incurring penalties for not paying in time.

Now she needs to find a solution. A friend helps her to do the job and she will need a tax extension form 2010. She needs to do it quickly because she’s about to travel again in other country. She said it is highly recommended and guaranteed. She’s worrying a lot before but now everything will be alright.

I love to look at my mini compact mirror when I feel bored.  It makes me feel better just by fixing my hair and check on some unwanted spots on my face.  But lately, I noticed a couple of white hair on my head and it made me realize that I’m really getting old (ha-ha!) but I know it’s not the basis of being old because I knew people having some white hairs on their early age.  But it’s my first time seeing white on my hair because they kept on saying every time I went to salon that I had a natural jet black hair.  So I knew it’s because I’m not getting younger anymore and I have to admit that in few years more, white hairs will be visible in my head (awww!).

There’s a myth that when you sleep while your hair is wet or when you pony your hair just after taking a bath, you will have white hair on your early age but I don’t think it’s true. I think it’s more on hereditary thing. But above all, I don’t care if I have white hairs now, it doesn’t matter, I’m happy with who I am right now, white hair or not. 

I’m having a heavy heart today but I know being down and sad won’t help solve the problem. It will just make things worse and I’ll start blaming them for what they became today. I’m tough; at least I know I am. Because if I’m not, I don’t know how will I ever help them. But anyways, at the end of the day, I know I will pull it through. I asked one sign to lighten up my heart, and it came an hour before I went home from work, a pizza delivery. And eating with your colleague while laughing at some jokes chase the blues away even for a meantime.

I always believe that with God’s help I can even move the mountains. I always pray for guidance because I fear that when I’m angry I tend to say things that I will regret later. So, I asked God to give me tons of patience and strength. I only want to live in this world happy and contented, with family and friends to be with as I venture in this so called life. I will always live one day at a time. I will always be thankful for having a wonderful husband and a handsome son. No problems will take me down. God will always lead the way.

We are supposed to watch a movie today, but we cancelled it because of a problem that keeps on coming back no matter I we tried to forget and ignored. I just hope it will leave us alone and in peace. It may be impossible but nothing is impossible with God. That sealed it all.

Happy Weekend to all :)

With the ever changing weather nowadays, it is not possible that most of us are getting sick and not feeling well. You really can’t predict what will happen to you anytime soon and you wouldn’t let it caught you off guard. My father needs a constant medical attention since he’s been getting older as years passed by and Medicare Supplement Insurance will help us through with his entire laboratory, doctor’s fee and other medical expenses. We want an insurance that doesn’t require medical exams for you to be able to acquire it especially now that my father is having problems on his breathing.
