Thanks be to God for everything!

Hi, Stranger!

It's been a while (again) from I remember of religiously blogging out things about my everydays. Well, things have changed in my life since I got married. Been busy taking care of my husband and his needs. My role now as a wife is pretty much challenging. Considering that I was the one who was always looked after... You guess, how's everything's been doing lately. <insert Black Eyed Peas - Where is the Love? here> #lol

But, seriously, I am fine. I got a job again that makes me productive. I got a very loving husband who makes me feel blessed everyday from the moment I wake up until I go to sleep at night.  My friends are still hanging around with me which makes me happy, too. My Mom who has been ever supportive still got my back. I can feel that God still looks after me :) I pretty much have almost everything I want. Except that I don't have too much money in my pocket now but I think it teaches me to appreciate things I have and teaches me to value money more.

I just want to be happy everyday and leave all the troubles behind. I am loving life everyday. I feel so lucky having Happy (my husband) with me. I always thank God for this :)

...

And also, we are expecting to meet our little bundle of joy soon, God willing :)

Can I be happier than this? :)

Thank God for everything :)

Welcome, 2013!

2012 was big! The ups and the downs and all the middles in between, I think I had them all :)

I was happy and sad, high and low... but to sum it all, I was blessed. nothing else :)

This year, I am expecting new things to happen and be experienced. I always pray God will lead the way :)

HAPPY 2013, EVERYONE! :)

Change of Heart

I quit from my stressful work today and my manager was nothing but stunned while I was all relieved and so looking forward to go to work one last time on Wednesday.

I have learned new tricks and techniques from them but I dont think things work out well for me with that company. But nothing really personal. I am just looking for something better and something that is really for me.

Anyway, I am starting my new job in Cavite, God willing, on May 2.

I hope this is it.

D HOTEL

I thank God for this good opportunity to work with D Hotel. I have been to adventures that only few people know about in chase of this dream job. To God be the Glory. I know this is really mine. I will cherish and value this :)

See you Thursday, D Hotel! :)

Goodbye, Pan Pacific!

After 3 years and 10 months, I quit working at Pan Pacific Manila. It was a tough decision to do this but after considering a lot of things, I believe that everything's gonna be better. I am now moving to Diamond Hotel Philippines. I only have kind words for Pan Pacific Manila. My 90% stay here has been delightfully memorable. but I have to transfer... I just need more time for myself, my family, my health and my piggy bank also needs more savings ;p I will never ever forget what Pan Pacific did to me. This has been my 2nd home and this has been a family to me. Most especially the BS Girls. Eventhough people come and go, we sticked together and made it through. Thank you girls for being my strength and one of the few reasons why I stayed long. Thank you for accepting me for what and who I am. May God bless you all. I WILL MISS PAN PACIFIC SO MUCH :)

This is Glessie, my kapatid na Glessie. Although we have just worked for a while, she's been the closest to me eversince. I will miss working with her, more so, seeing her almost everyday. She'll definitely be invited on my wedding day! haha But you know, I intend to keep her as a friend even after this. mwah mwah kapatid :)

Everytime I tell her, "Kapatid, magkamukha na tayo. payag ka?" she'd say,"okay sige pero mas maganda ako sayo." .... She doesn't know it but I always answer her back in my mind,"mmmm... okay. sabi mo eh."

That's Marga, Glessie and me. I miss my eyeglasses. That thing was lost.

The Princess is Now Not a Princess

I was raised by my grandmother when I was growing up, same with my eldest brother. My parents are separated and my mother had to work overseas to be a good provider. I would say that my brother and I were lucky enough to be sent to a reputable private school since we started out studying. My family did not allow us to work while studying for the reason that they wanted us to focus entirely on studying. We had to focus on studying which also meant that my grandmother did not want us to worry about household chores. So all the dishwashes and the housecleaning and the laundry and bed-making and fixing this and that and cooking and everything, WE WERE FREE NOT TO DO. Although from time to time, my brother and I did some household tasks but mostly, it included 90% of playing around when we were kids. Even when we reached college, we were still the lucky ones (or the BUM - truth be told) at home. My mom and my grandmother used to say, "Kawawa naman ung mga anak ko. Pagod sa school. Sige na, kumain na kayo. Aral mabuti ha? Ako na maghuhugas ng plato." Something like that. But of course, when we grew up, sometimes we helped out washing dishes but we did not come to the point that we were obliged to clean the house or go to the market, etc etc. My grandmother loved us so much she just wanted to do everything for us. My mom also, as much as she can, she'd do everything and would just ask for help if she is already tired. That is how I grew up. Being serviced and treated like a little princess. Even until now that I am about to hit my 30th year.

Now, I think things would have to change because although I still live in the same house that I have been living at since birth, I was confronted earlier by my grandmother to take responsibility and be helpful at home. Maybe because she cannot move anymore like she used to because of her illness. And my Aunt is blaming her for raising me up like this (lazy, bum, very dependent, irresponsible, immature... basically, u-n-r-e-l-i-a-b-l-e). But you know, I love how my Nanay raised me. I love how she used to wake me up everyday when I was still going to school. I love how she used to scream my name everytime she wakes me up but after 10 minutes or so, I am still on bed :) I love it when she tells me to eat even if I keep on telling her that I am not hungry. I love it when she used to make up my bed. I love it when she cleans up the room even if I tell her not to. I love it when she tells me to eat with her even if I told her that I just had eaten. I love her way of telling me to leave the dishes alone because she knows I am tired studying/working all day. I love her babying me all the time. Although sometimes, I am annoyed of her "paulit-ulit-ulit-ulit" reminders to do this, eat that, take vitamins, put on slippers, etc etc., I love her with all my heart. Maybe she is guilty of not teaching us.. not teaching me how to properly do the laundry, cook sinigang or even adobo, be lady enough to sweep the floor of my own room, how to save money, I do not blame her. I do not blame them. I just know that did it for love. It's their way of letting us feel that they love us very much, they want to take all the pain and all the hardships as much as they could. And now that I am all grown up, I do not know how to cook, I do not hate them for that. I do not even dislike them for raising me up like this.

Anyway, because I want to take away their burden of being blamed about me being a princess (BUM) at home, starting this week, I would have to take care of my dirty clothes, fold and iron them after, wake up earlier and find things to do at home, sleep shorter and I don't know what else. Maybe run errands? Go there, go back there, buy this and buy that.

Just thinking about doing a lot of things terrifies me. I think I will pass out, lose consciousness or something. But I have to do this. Maybe it is also His way of preparing me of a life without Nanay soon, I dunno. Maybe this is gonna be my short and instant training on how to live an independent life. (Although I should have done this way before). Well, I also think I should start learning to do house chores if I am thinking of settling down soon. I don't want Happy starving to death while I am just watching TV (or maybe doing my coloring book), dow'want Happy stink because he had been wearing the same set of clothes for the whole week. I do not want that for my family. 

Okay... Okay... I am just a bit emotional about this. It is going to be a big move for me to accept that I am now an adult. And being an adult, I have to do my own laundry starting this week.

He Loves Me

Happy loves me :)

He just made a bold move, a bold proof that he is really serious.

Anywhere for you, Babe :)

Dreaming of a Better Life Someday Soon

I have a long list of “wanna have” and “drooling for” but budget has been tight lately and I only have “first things first!” entertained.

I am saving up for a very important goal that I have to reach in about a year or so. This is very serious and I am really looking forward that someday soon, with God’s help, this will happen

Really aiming for it. Just thinking about it makes me so excited

New Zealand

These are some photos of New Zealand and the map and the flag. I am simply fascinated with the country.
