Happy New Year!

Been so busy ever since we got here. I'm already in the Philippines by the way and I will be going back to Malaysia in 2 days! Time flies, really! I will just post some updates and pics when I get back to Malaysia. For now, I need to make the most out of the remaining days of my stay here. Tata! :)

Happy Christmas To All! :)

Nosy People

These are people who do not know how to mind their own freaking business and I encountered one this morning.

On my way here to office, which was around 10.30 am, the taxi driver asked me if I was on my way to work. I said "yes", then he looked at his watch implying that it was so late already. I kept myself from asking him "ARE YOU MY BOSS?" or blurting "Don't worry, I'm the boss!". Haha! But then I thought, bosses don't usually take cab going to work. LOL.

One of the things I like about the company I am working for is that they are not very strict when it comes to time. You can come and leave without completing the whole 8 work hrs required as long as your work is done. They are more concerned on the quality of work than the quantity of time you spend in the office without accomplishing anything.

So I was a bit pissed off that the taxi driver was like judging me by the gesture that he did. He was like saying, "what kind of employee are you, coming to office at this hour?". So many things I would like to say but that would take me nowhere so I just did what I had to do, and that is to keep my mouth shut and divulged my sentiments here. LOL.

Another Love and Hate Thing For Me!

I have so many attempts to make a new blog and leave this one behind. But all those attempts failed. I am so stuck attached with this blog. There are times that I get so bored blogging here and created a new blog just for a change then after sometime, I will be coming back here.

Just so you know (not that you really need to know), I have created a new blog and been posting there for a week or two. Then today, I imported all those posts to this blog and I'll be deleting that blog in a while. Oh well, this blog is more than 3 yrs old that's why it is not that easy to just leave it behind.

Actually who knows, this may not be the last time that I will attempt to create a new blog. Maybe next time it will not fail but for now, I think I might just change the layout if I feel so bored with this blog. :)

It's A Love and Hate Thing

In a few days time, my family and I will be going back to our home country to celebrate Christmas holidays with our loved ones. I am having mixed emotions of excitement and anxiety right now. I am excited for obvious reasons but I feel anxious because when we’re already in our home country, we will be dreading for the coming of the day where we need to leave our home country again. The feeling of anticipation for something we are excited about (which is what we are going thru right now) is better than the feeling of waiting for something we don’t want to happen.

I know this is a bit of negative outlook and I should not make myself suffer for something that is inevitable but I can’t seem to help it. On the second thought, waiting and waiting for something you want to happen but won’t come is a bit of frustrating also so I guess I’m in a much better position right now.

Oh well, I don’t know if I am making any sense to you so please pardon the vagueness of this post. I will stop worrying now and just be psyched that we are coming home soon!!! :)

Happy holidays y’all!

HP7 Pt 1

I was expecting more from the movie. For me, something is missing, I did not see much action. It's more of the story-telling part of the book. But maybe they are saving the best for last. I'm sure Part 2 will be much better and HP movie series will end with a bang! After all, they only got one Hocrux in this part. More to come on Part 2. :)

I just wish I have read again the book before watching the movie. I've forgotten some details already. It's not surprising tho, It has been 3 yrs since Deathly Hallows was released. 3 years have passed already!

Oh well, I'll just make sure I've read the book again before Part 2.

Say What?!

‎1. Go to Google Maps.
2. Go to "Get Directions".
3. Type Taiwan as the start location.......
4. Type China as the end location.
5. Read STEP 24 of the directions................

This is as far as I can remember...

2003 - Graduated from college (i just gave away my age like that!), got accepted on my first job (VB programmer).

2004 – Got accepted at Sunlife (enjoyed working there) and stayed there for 3 years

2005 – My ex-boyfriend (coz he’s my hubby now) left to work abroad

2006 – I got married (civil), went to Phuket, Thailand.

2007 – I sadly left Sunlife to work abroad and be united with my hubby

2008 – I left my 1^st company here and joined HP, my whole family had a vacation here, I was married again (with the same guy) but this time in the church. I got pregnant!!!

2009 – I gave birth to the most wonderful human being in this universe!

2010 – We bought our first car here, went to Langkawi, Malaysia

2011 – I will win the jackpot prize in either lotto or toto

Tomorrow

Is a holiday in this side of the world. Will be off then to cinema for some Harry Potter lovin'. Tonight, hubby wants me to join him for a jogging. Am a bit lazy (or just plain lazy) but my persistent hubby is insisting. So there...

He suddenly thought of dragging me to jog because every morning, he will call me to get out of bed several times before I can actually force my ass to get up. I also told him I am suffering from acute Dysania.

Me and my big mouth.

And he won again!!!

Via unanimous decision. He is the greatest boxer IMO. :)

I just realized...

that when my baby reached 20 years old, I will be like 47 years old already! OMG!!! By 20 years old, she has just gone out of college and that is if she will only choose 4-yr courses. What if she wants to be a doctor or a lawyer?! In what age will I be when she finish schooling? Oh my! And she's our first child! What about our future children? Will I be like 55 years old already when they finish college?

There are pros and cons indeed when one had a baby at an early age. One of the pros is that you are still young when your kids already have their own, stable, career and family life. Like the case of my mom who got pregnant at the age of 18. The cons is that you wouldn't have much time to enjoy your own money, singlehood and carefree-ness because you have a family to sustain at such an early age.

As for my case, I did enjoy my financial independence and singlehood for quite a while (7 years to be exact). It was actually fun to earn your own money, which is all yours and to be responsible for only yourself. But the drawback is this - my retirement would have to wait a little longer than those people who had babies earlier than me.

I just wish God will give me and my hubby long life so that we can be able to stick around for quite a while to enjoy our children, our grandchildren and if we are luckier, our great grandchildren. :)

That would really be nice.

That Dinner

Dinner was not that bad. Food was not that bad either. Well, it wasn't great but it was not bad.

I've met people from our team that I have never seen before, which is quite good. At least now, I am familiar with my team members. Bosses were there and there were awkward-dead-air-nothing-to-say moments but most of the time people were just laughing and talking and eating.

Generally, it went well and it was a good thing to have a team reunion like this once in a while.

By the way, I thought to take all the pictures of my buffet plates but i only manage to take photo of my 1st plate & totally forgot about the other plates. I call the first plate the "shy plate". :)

Team Dinner

We'll be having a team dinner tonight @ Hilton Hotel. The place is a bit far from my office and it is actually a hassle to go there. But I am still attending because it is not right to say no to a free food :). My teammate said it's a buffet style dinner so I just hope food is good otherwise buffet style is no good. Let's see...

Something Random

Some things random about me:

1. I am impatient - i don't like this attitude but I don't know what/who made me like this. Though I am trying hard to change this but what the heck, you can't teach old dogs new tricks. Not that I'm saying I'm old but... oh well.

2. I like pink - i know I'm too old for that color (oh, why the heck am I emphasizing this?! nvm!) but I really think it's a nice color.

3. I always get even - well, not always but I do every time I get the chance *bwahahaha* (supposed to be evil laugh) so beware.

4. I love to shop but usually get guilty about it - I know right?! How stupid does that sound. I mean, I feel guilty because 'maybe' I'm a bit of a hoarder. I buy new stuff but does not want to let go of the old ones. Who would need 3 laptops and 3 mobile phones and still want to buy new ones?! I believe this is a disease that needs remedy badly!

5. I don't have sense of direction - I easily get lost. I have short term memory lost when it comes to directions. And I have a valid reason for being like this. My mom, sister and hubby are very very good with directions. My husband can go back to a place even if he has gone there for only once. When one is surrounded by this kind of people, it's either she adapt the same skill or she tends to depend on them and I decided to choose to be the latter. :)

6. I love cooking - especially when I cook something new and my tasters love it, I become more inspired to cook. I only learned cooking when I lived abroad because in this heck of woods, I had no maid to cook for me during my 1st few years here. Now that I have a baby and a nanny for my baby, the nanny will cook dinner for the hubby and me. Then weekends, I cook and try to cook new dishes.

7. I was a frustrated singer - because I like to sing and I wished that I had a good voice. But I think that thing was not really for me so I've moved on.

8. I am short-tempered - I think this one is a sister attitude of number 1. Same thing, don't like it but can't do anything about it.

9. There were few things that I've tried but never really finished - like teaching myself how to play a guitar, dad teaching me how to drive, a trainer teaching me how to play piano but I don't know how to do all these things anymore. When compared to a food, all these were just half-cooked.

10. I believe I am a tinker - I'm a bit resourceful and I like repairing things especially things at home. Sometimes, I even try to find a way to fix something that seemed irreparable.

There, some things to bore your day. I know it's not really interesting. Well, I am not really interesting but since this is my blog, you just have to bear. :)

Happy Halloween! :)

Aggressive Marketing

Isang bagong vacuum cleaner salesman ang kumatok sa pinto ng unang bahay sa isang barangay. Isang babae ang nagbukas ng pinto. At bago pa nakapagsalita ang babae ay dali-daling pumasok papunta sa sala ang salesman, binuksan ang malaking plastic bag at ibinuhos lahat ng lamang tae ng kalabaw sa carpet.

"Miss, kapag hindi nalinis ng vacuum cleaner ko ang mga tae sa carpet niyo, kakainin ko isa-isa iyan!", pagyayabang ng salesman.

"Gusto mo ng ketsup para diyan?" tanong ng babae.

Tanong ng salesman, "Bakit ho?"

"Eh, kalilipat lang namin. Wala pa kaming kuryente."

New Phone

I bought a new phone. So currently, I have 3 phones - my old Pink SE z610i (w/c i love very much but started to be outdated with the new phone features coming out), my iPhone 3G that even Kylie and Jay-ar enjoy so much (so super worth it tlaga sya) and my new Samsung Genio Slide phone. My new phone is not that expensive and that's what I really like about it. It has all the features of those expensive smart phones but with a much lower price. It is really a good buy. The only thing different is that it uses a resistive touchscreen w/c you can barely even notice so no big deal. The touch itself is good and it has a full QWERTY keypad slide w/c makes it more value for money. :)

Weakness

Kylie has caught diarrhea and high grade fever these past few days. Thank God there has been an improvement now. Fever is gone and the diarrhea is not as frequent as before. Two of the hardest parts when a baby in her age is sick are: (1) they don’t want to take medicine, and (2) they don’t want to eat anything. And these two are a big NO-NO when a baby has high grade fever and diarrhea. Kylie didn’t want to take medicine (paracetamol) for her fever. High grade fever can be very dangerous if not monitored and maintained in a certain level. For diarrhea, her pediatrician told us to just let it all be flushed out from her body so no medicine for that but we should give her lots of fluids to keep her from dehydrating. And this was really a challenge because Kylie lost her appetite (due to diarrhea itself) and doesn’t want to drink anything – water, milk, juice, electrolytes fluid like 100Plus and others. Because of this, the tough dad Jay-ar decided to force her to take milk and medicine using a syringe (of course without the needle silly!). The tough dad wanted me to hold Kylie tightly while he will hold her cheeks and force her to take the medicine or milk (whatever it was she needed to take). I never thought that Kylie had so much strength especially that she was ill that time but boy, she did give a good fight! I didn’t want to hold her too tight because I was afraid I might hurt her. Then the tough dad said we need to switch task because I was not doing mine properly. So he wanted me to force the syringe to Kylie’s mouth while he holds her. I said I can’t. I was afraid I might hurt her mouth trying to force the syringe. So this tough dad, seeing that I was no good at this, called Kylie’s nanny to hold her. This was actually a relief for me. I told them, I will just give my moral support.

The truth is, it pains me to see Kylie being forced, crying, trying to break loose and suffer. It’s like she’s begging us to stop. I can’t bear it. I know it’s for her own good and I’m glad that Jay-ar was tough enough to know what must be done. Well, at first I hated him for just saying that we needed to force Kylie. For me, he seemed so uncompassionate and hardhearted and I didn’t agree at first but then if I try to be objective about it, I knew that he’s just doing what was necessary. I’m glad that he’s unlike me – weak. :(

Last January, when Kylie was admitted to the hospital for some urine infection, they put dextrose on her. Her nanny was telling me how pitiful my baby was – crying and screaming while the nurses inject the needle in her tiny veins. I was not there when that was done. I was in the office because it was only supposed to be a check-up (Jay-ar and the nanny took Kylie to the hospital) then the doctor decided to have her admitted for better observation. I was having mixed emotions back then. I was a bit glad that I was not there because I didn’t have to see my baby suffer but at the same time, I wish I was there coz I knew she needed her mummy in times like that for love, support and comfort.

I know it is normal for mothers not wanting to see their child being hurt but I also know that I should be tough for my baby. And that I should always be there for her especially in times of her hardships and to be strong for her and tell her that everything will be okay.

And from now on, I will be like that. It’s not easy but I will do it for her. After all, it is from her where I am getting my strength to face the world. I love her so much. ♥ ♥ ♥

HAHAHAHAHA!

HBD To Me! :D

Celebrated my birthday with my loves. On the eve of my birthday, Jay-ar and I watched Lea Salonga's concert here in KL. On my birthday, we ate @ TGIFridays then Kylie enjoyed some kiddie rides. Jay-ar's gifts: clutch bag, shorts and a Pink Dell Netbook! The gift does not end there, next weekend, he will buy me a Pink passport size hard disk to match my netbook! Thanks ayat! Mwah! :)

Don’t Aim at Success

“The more you aim at it and make it a target, the more you are going to miss it. For success, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one’s personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product for one’s surrender to a person other than oneself. Happiness must happen, and the same holds for success; you have to let it happen by not caring about it. I want you to listen to what your conscience commands you to do and go on to carry it out to the best of your knowledge. Then you will live and see that in the long run- in the long run, I say! – success will follow you precisely because you had forgotten to think of it.” – man’s search for meaning

Over and Done With

This is what I don't want in every Pinas vacation I've had - the depression afterwards. Normal lang naman siguro to. Coz after all the anticipation, all the fun we had in the Philippines, all the pinoy food we ate, after 2 weeks of no work and all play, after the summer fun, after all those, balik na ulit kami dito sa Malaysia. Balik work na ulit. Balik sa dull boring life na naman. And yes, i think it is very normal to be depressed.

I know we are so blessed. Hindi lahat ng OFW na katulad ko ay kasama ang pamilya na babalik sa trabaho nila. And I am very thankful for that. Swerte pa nga ako diba. Kasi every few months, pwede din kami umuwi. Hindi katulad ng iba na isang taon pa ang hihintayin ulit. So kung tutuusin, wala akong karapatan mag reklamo.

Kaso tao lang ako at human nature ang pag rereklamo. Depressed ako ngayun. Nalulungkot. Mga isang linggo lang siguro, mawawala na ulit to ang everything will be back to normal na ulit. Mas masarap lang yung feeling na papalapit ng papalapit ang bakasyon kesa tapos na and nothing to look forward to na naman. Haaaayssss...

At dahil malungkot ako, makabili nga ng ice cream mamaya. Hehe.

I'm grateful for a wonderful vacation. I'm grateful for a fun and successful 1st birthday party of my Kylie. I'm grateful that we were back safely here in Malaysia. And I'm grateful that Jay-ar and I are back to work (kasi hindi lahat ng tao may work). For all those, Thank you, my awesome God! :)

Yun lang. :) To follow na lang ang pictures from Kylie's 1st birthday. Bukas ko upload :)

Tata! <3

Yay! :)

See you tomorrow Pilipinas! :)
Good night world! :)

Ang Jologs. Bow.

Siguro dati akong MMDA. Bakit?Kasi lagi na lang akong may nakaka away na taxi driver. Hindi lang basta sagutan ha. One time, bumaba pa kami ng taxi at sa daan kami nag sisigawan. Hahaha! Jologs diba?!

Ayaw ko kasi ng nilalamangan ako. Aba, ayaw ba naman patayin yung metro nya habang nag papa-gas sya. Ang haba pa man din ng pila sa gasoline station. Ayun, nag away kami.

Kahapon lang may naka away na naman akong taxi driver. Ayaw ba naman ako ihatid sa tapat ng condo namin at bawal daw lumiko dun. E g*go pala sya e. Araw araw ako nag ta-taxi papunta sa office at pauwi sa condo, sya lang ang nag iisang ayaw lumiko sa kanto na yun. Nung pinapaliwanag ko sa kanya na pwede lumiko dun kasi lagi naman naliko dun yung ibang taxi drivers na nasakyan ko na, ang sabi ba naman sakin stupid daw yung mga taxi drivers na yun. Gustong gusto ko ngang sabihin na sya ang stupid kaso nakasakay pa ko sa taxi nya at baka kung anu gawin sakin nun. Haha!

Sabi ko sa kanya, tignan mo, mag abang ka jan at may liliko jan. Sabi ba naman sakin "nyanyanyanya". Aba ang g*go talaga. Gustong gusto ko talagang sapakin. Napaka walang modo! Ginawa ko pagka bigay ko ng bayad ko bumaba ako ng taxi at di ko sinara ang pinto. Dun sa munting paraan na lang na yun ako nakaganti. Bwisit talaga.

Sabi ni Jay-ar, wag daw ako bababa sa lebel ng mga taxi drivers. Pero kung meron naman isang tao na talagang nakikipag pababaan ng lebel sa mga taxi drivers at sya yun. Hehe! Marami ding mga away moments si Jay-ar sa mga taxi drivers na mga pasaway. Mas malala pa nga yung sa kanya kesa jan.

Ang mga taxi drivers kasi dito sa Malaysia, para ding mga taxi drivers sa pinas. Magugulang! Pero hindi ko naman nilalahat. May mga matitino din. Kasi ako, lagi ako sumasakay sa taxi kaya samut-sari na ng mga taxi drivers ang nakakasalamuha ko.

Yan lang naman ang kwento ng isang babaeng jologs! LOL! :)

Hay Salamat!

After all the roller coaster ride we had for this trip, mukang matutuloy na din sya sa wakas. I think I will savor this vacation more dahil sa mga pinagdaanan namin bago pa ito matuloy. From my leave approval, to Jay-ar's leave approval to Jay-ar's work load to my visa approval to my baby and cousin's visa approval to Jay-ar's leave approval again. Hay! Lahat yan naging pasaway! Sa ngayun, hinihintay ko na lang ang agent ko to give us our passport. Kukunin pa niya sa immigration office. And to think that our flight will be tomorrow morning na! Haaay tlaga. Sana wala ng hassle.

Sobrang i-eenjoy ko tlga tong vacation na to dahil pinahirapan nila kami for having this. Sana lang walang magkasakit samin sa Pinas. Dami daw nag kakasakit dun ngayun kasi sa climate :( Need to take lots of vitamin C. Weather, please makisama ka. Wag ka nang dumagdag pa sa mga pasaway okay?!

And thank you Lord, if it's not for you, none of this will be possible. Thank you for making this happen for us. Thank you for anwering all my prayers. You are really awesome! :) Thank you and I love you :)

See you tomorrow friends and families and Pilipinas kong mahal. :)

In-laws Are Here!

Jay-ar's mom and dad are here. His mom came first then after a week, his dad followed. Been going everywhere since then. Hehe. First, we went to Sunway Lagoon. Dad was not yet with us. He has work so he will only be here in KL for almost 2 weeks. He'll be leaving for Manila this coming Wednesday then next week, it's our turn! Can't wait!

Then after Dad came, we went to Singapore. It was a very hot and tiring trip. For 2 days, it was sooo sunny. It was better though than rain. Kylie got a little bit tanned. We were there only for weekend. Then I was on MC the next Monday coz my whole body was aching. Also, did not get enough sleep in the hotel. When I feel so tired, I find it hard to fall asleep. During first day, the whole day we went to Sentosa. We watched the Songs of the Sea. I thought Kylie will like it but I was wrong. Guess she's too young to appreciate things like that. She was just either playing with her toys or drinking her milk during the show. The oldies enjoyed it though. Yeah, they are old enough to appreciate this kind of stuff. LOL.

2nd day, we met with out friend Anna and her fiance, Joey. We ate chili crab in East Coast and after that, went to Merlion for some picture taking and just did some city touring. It was very hot so we decided to end the tour early and headed to the airport. Singapore was so crowded. MRT was all packed. Mind you, it was weekend and MRT was so full, what more during weekdays where people go to their offices. Even Sentosa was so crowded. It was just an ordinary Saturday when we went there yet there were so many people. What do we know, the small country has increased its population already. But this gives me second thoughts on moving in to Singapore.

Btw, look at my Kylie. She has six teeth now. And she's starting to walk now. Hopefully on her 1st birthday, she's walking all by herself already.

Last Saturday (Black Saturday), we went to Aquaria KLCC. I know it's not right to enjoy during Black Saturday but we have to make the most of my in-law's stay here. So there. Hope we're vindicated. LOL.


It was the first time Kylie ride on a ride like this yet she knows already how to enjoy it. She was turning the wheel, pressing all the buttons in the car, stand up and sit again. She didn't want to leave that ride. Then I told myself, 'Kylie is really entering the toddler phase. She likes these rides already!'

Yesterday, Easter Sunday, while Jay-ar was working (they have production roll out), the whole fam stayed @ home doing nothing. I supposed to have a lunch date with teammates because our former boss will be leaving HP already. Then it was moved to Dinner then it was moved a little later to just chatting. It was late already so I was not able to join. Should I had known that I will not be able to join this farewell thingy, I should have went somewhere else (like a mall) with the in-laws so that one day of just being at home was not wasted.

Oh well, one more week, then this coming weekend, last minute shopping before going back to the Philippines! And oh, I hope our visa gets renewed before this trip or else, we are in big big trouble. My agency is such a pain in the a**. SERIOUSLY!

Ta-ta for now.

Before I was a mother

... everything is about me. My hopes, my dreams, my life. When Kylie came into my life, my whole universe revolve around her. All my hopes and dreams were suddenly for her and about her. It's not easy to be a mother. But I will never ever ever exchange that for anything else. It's the best thing in the world. The best smell is the smell of my baby. The best feeling is when I see her smile. Being a mother (parent) is the best thing that can happen to a person. And you've been missing a lot if you don't understand what I am sayin'.

everything will be okay in the end. if it is not okay, then it is not the end.

Cutesy!

Good Morning!

Kylie is really REALLY the cutest! :-)

Back Log

I have so much of photos to upload. But I am so lazy to do it. I suppose to do it during weekends but every weekends, it slips through my mind. I can't even keep up with the monthly photo album of Kylie. I am still missing 8 and 9 mos. She's turning 10 mos in a couple of weeks. Need to do something this coming long weekend.

Speaking of photo uploading, I usually uploads photos in my multiply account but I dunno what's happening in multiply now. Some of the photos I uploaded were missing and/or can't load when I visit my multiply site. Seeesh! Now, I am just uploading in FB. I need to find new online repo for my photos. Any suggestions?

Off topic:

Last weekend, we went to Ampang Look Out Point Resto. Jay-ar and I was teasing and arguing with each other who was the first between us to call it "out look" instead of "look out". LOL. I bet he was the one who first said the word "out look". Talk about so much of work in mind.

Anyways, I have uploaded the photos in FB but here is one for you my dear reader. :)
By the way, just so you know, this look out point is something like Tagaytay or Olonggapo. As the name suggests, it's a resto overlooking KL.

Ok, either it's obvious that I have nothing to do in the office (judging from the interval of my consecutive posts) or I'm just too lazy to do the work. ;p

Laterz!

Totally Hilarious! [Use your imagination]

THINGS TO DO IN AN ELEVATOR:

1) Bring a camera, and take pictures of everyone in the elevator.

2) Move your desk into the elevator, and whenever someone gets on, ask if they have an appointment.

3) Lay down a Twister mat and ask people if they’d like to play.

4) Leave a box in a corner, and when someone gets on, ask if they hear something ticking.

5) Pretend you are a flight attendant and review emergency procedures and exits with the passengers.

6) Ask, "did you feel that?"

7) Stand really close to someone, sniffing them occasionally.

8) When the doors close, announce to the others, "It’s okay, don’t panic. They’ll open up again."

9) Swat at flies that don’t exist.

10) Tell people that you can see their aura.

11) Call out, "GROUP HUG!" and enforce it.

12) Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering, "Shut up. All of you. Just Shut up!!!"

13) Crack open your briefcase or purse and while peering inside, as "Got enough air in there?"

14) Stand silently and motionless in the corner, facing the wall, without getting off.

15) Stare at another passenger for awhile, then announce in horror, "You’re one of THEM," and back away slowly.

16) Wear a puppet on your hand, and use it to talk to the other passengers.

17) Listen to the elevator walls with a stethoscope.

18) Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button.

19) Ask if you can push the button for other people, but push the wrong ones.

20) Stare grinning at another passenger for awhile, then announce "I have new socks on."

21) Draw a little square on the floor with chalk, and announce to the other passengers, "This is MY personal space!!"

22) When there’s only one other person in the elevator, tap them on the shoulder and pretend it wasn’t you.

23) Push the buttons and pretend they give you a shock.

24) Call the Psychic Hotline from your cell phone, and ask if they know what floor you’re on.

25) Hold the doors open, and say that you’re waiting for your friend. After awhile, let the doors close and say, "Hi Greg, how’s your day been?"

26) Drop a pen, and wait until someone reaches to help pick it up, and then scream "That’s mine!"

True.

Last night, I came from work @ 12mn. My team leader went home early and one teammate and myself were left in the office when the system encountered problem. So both of us fixed the problem and did some data recovery. We finished around 11.30 pm. It was so tiring because I am not used to working this late already.

Around 10 pm, while we were doing some data recovery, my teammate told me that I can leave already. He said, I can left him and he will finish the job. I told him that I will help him finish it. He said, it was okay because I have a baby and my baby will be waiting for me. It was a tempting offer but I felt it would be unprofessional to accept his offer so I decline. I stayed until the job is done.

When I reached home, my Kylie was sleeping already. I felt guilty because every night when I go home from work and everytime she sees me, the smile on her face is priceless. I can see that she’s very happy to see me. Last night, I did not see that smile and I was not able to give her that happiness.

Then I came to realize that it is really very difficult to work and be a mother @ the same time (though this is common already). Especially that my kind of work is very demanding. I have to choose - to be a mother who is there for my baby or to be a hard core employee who works her ass off. If I ask for more work, there will be more demands and to be able to cope up with these work demands means that I will have less time to give for my baby’s needs. Priorities must now be set, because in reality, work-life balance is really difficult to come by.

I have realized that I like it this way. Less demanding job means more time for my family and that should be the equation for a working mom like me, not the other way around.

Sunday night with my love. Have a goodnight sleep everyone. Need to start the week right and don't forget to thank God for all the blessings he has given you most especially for your loved ones. :)

BIG 50!

Happy Happy 50th Birthday Papa!
We love you soooooo much!!! :)

Thank you Lord for taking care of my papa for 50 years. I pray that you continue to bless him with good health and long life! Thank you sooo much for giving him to us. He is the best father a daughter/son could ever have and I am just sooo lucky to be one of his children. May we celebrate many many more of his birthdays with him. You showed us dear Lord how much you love us by giving him to us as our father and for that, we could not thank you enough.

I love you papa! Thank you for everything! :)

It's Not You. It's Me!

I have moved on... From playing Cafe World! Hehe. Bulok bulok na ang food. Christmas decor pa din ang andun. Wala ng makain ang mga customers. Tsk Tsk. Nawalan na ng gana ang chef. Instead na ilaro ng Cafe World, lalaruin na lang si Kylie. It is for the better my cafe. I hope you understand. As I have said, It is not you. It's me. It has always been me. Hehe!

Malay mo pag walang magawa madalaw ulit kita. But for now, galit galit muna tyu. :)

Beware!

Same status as my twitter! I just found out I have an online stalker na ka-work ko! Kailangan ko na mag ingat sa mga pino-post ko dito lalo na tungkol sa office. At hindi ako mag tataka kung pina - patranslate nya pa tong mga tinatagalog kong post! Tsk Tsk... Masyado nang laganap tong blog na to. Ibig sabihin ba nyan, it's time to close it down?! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

You stalker, if you think I am referring to you then it is probably you! I know you and I know you've been stalking all my online accounts. From Facebook, to Twitter, to this blog. (Good thing I have other blogs that you don't know! Or don't tell me you know about that also).. Well, just want to say, happy stalking! Hahaha!

Take care! Ciao! :)

I hope.

Back to KL... Back to Work

Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all! Ngayun lang ulit ako nakapag online. Bulok na mga niluluto ko sa Cafe World pero oks lang super na enjoy ko vacation namin sa Pinas... Sana sa April ulit! Btw, I am back in KL na and back to work na ulit... Wala na ulit mga kalaro si Kylie. Although nagkasakit kaming 3 sa pinas (Kylie, Jay-ar and Me), ayus lang kasi super enjoy! :)
