CHRISTMAS IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER

Christmas is fast approaching and it's all around the corner. People thinking of their wish lists, busy shopping for gifts, attending parties and all. As always, Christmas season is indeed the busiest season for me and don't forget the fact that it's expensive. LOL. Got tons of invitations for Christmas party and get together, can I just attend without spending? I wish! Haha. Oh well, that's the purpose of this season, to give and share your blessings. I am just thankful as God has given me a lot and it'll never hurt to share it to the people around you once in a while.

Happy Holidays!

I AM BLESSED

October 14, 2011 - I celebrated my 28 years of existence. It's been a beautiful journey so far. Meeting different people, sharing lives with them, knowing who to keep and who to let go. I know that my life is just starting and that there will be a lot more in store for me. Being the risk-taking person that I am, future is something that I am not afraid of and will always look forward to. The journey becomes more exciting and fun if you have true friends along the way. For me, it's better to have friends that is not more than what your fingers can count, as long as all of them are true. I am proud to say that I got tons of them. 

My day becomes more meaningful because of friends that showed their love and care for me. I so appreciate their efforts to surprise me and make me feel the most special person on that day. 

I got my team who surprised me on my birthday. They set-up this balloons and Hello Kitty party hats at our work station and a cake. I am actually on leave for that day, but since they keep on calling and sending text messages for me to come to work, I was forced to. I was really touch by the gesture, I so appreciate their efforts and felt so special then. LOL!

Breakfast with good buddies...

And my Bosses treated me for an eat all you can and got the crew sang a Happy Birthday song with a cake!

I am thankful to God for giving me wonderful friends which I can treat as my family too. Thank you Lord for letting me feel that I have lots of people around me. The greetings, text messages, emails and calls from everyone are non-stop and this shows those who are worth keeping as they really took a little of their time just to make me feel special on my day. I am blessed!

ENJOY LIFE IN HUMILITY

God balances our life by giving us enough blessings to make us happy and enough burdens to keep us humble. I've never seen one who has everything they've wanted, have you? Everyone still has their own period for yearning. That's how the cycle goes. So let's enjoy life with all HUMILITY.

RAINY WEEK

It has been raining everyday last week. You know how it is when raining - lazy! Oh yeah, with that kind of weather, you would just want to stay home, in your bed, under the sheets and sleep. But then I simply can't. Still reported to work with those storms and flood. It's business as usual!

I am still blessed to have a house that will comfort me in times like that. I will always be thankful and grateful to God for taking care of me, my family and my friends. :)

HAPPY MORNING

It's a happy Monday morning. 

I am currently enjoying my cup of coffee 

with a smile. :) 

Hope this feel good mood lasts for a week. 

BEAUTIFUL SUNSET

I have always love sunsets, it's my favorite time of the day. I find sunset more beautiful when I'm at the beach. I simply can't resist taking photos of it all over again. Looking at the sunset makes you feel at ease, there's something magical in it that I can't figured out what. One thing I am certain - PEACE is seeing a sunset and knowing WHO to thank. 

It is almost impossible to watch a sunset and not dream.

THAT'S WHAT FRIENDS ARE MADE FOR

Me and my best girl Marriah haven't gone out and bond lately. We are occupied by our own stuffs in life. The last time we went out was like 2 weeks ago and that is with my good friend Slice. Though we work at the same company, we haven't take our breaks together that much 'coz we have different schedules. On her last break earlier, she dropped by at my station and asks how am I doing. I answered "I'm okay", then she stared at me for a second and asks again with "Why? What's wrong?" I said there's just a lot going on lately. Then she argue that I am not okay. She waited until my end of shift as she dismiss at work an hour early than me, and offered a coffee date to talk things over. 

Sometimes that's just what we need. A friend that is willing to accompany you during those bad days. They really don't need to give their advices, just listening to your wimps and letting you feel that they'll be there is enough.

KUDOS TO ALL THE SINGLE PARENT

Being a single parent is twice the work, twice the stress and twice the tears. But it's also twice the hugs, twice the love and twice the pride. Kudos to all the single parent out there! I'm proud to be one.

HE COMPLETES MY DAY

My lil' man is sooooo sweet! As of this writing, we're here at our room, he's watching cartoons and I am browsing the net. He was eating pork cracklings while watching and he also keeps on feeding me. He always make sure that we share everything. 

He is actually asking me to stop browsing the net and is commanding me to go to sleep now. Oh well, I am about to follow him after this post. LOL! These are the wonders that completes my day and I am a one lucky Mom.

I have a parole officer, a boss, a body guard, a counselor all wrapped into one, he's 9 years old and he's my son!!!

2011 NOW BEGINS

2011 now begins...

It's the 1st day of 2011 and more to come. Bring it on!

I am wishing everyone a blessed new year.

HAPPY AND FLY

As Peter Pan says:

Just think of happy thoughts and you'll fly!

That would be cool, right? I am thinking of happy thoughts right about now. And if that saying was only true, I'll already be roaming around the sky. Haha.

A YEAR AFTER THE STORM

• photos taken during and after the storm Ondoy •

Today will mark one year from the great flood 'Ondoy'. It was a memorable experience and it simply made you thankful for being blessed. It was an unexpected tragedy.

The day before 'Ondoy', I was in a house party at my friend's place. It was all fun because two of my friends were celebrating their birthday and it was a reunion for us as well. The rain that day just won't stop. We were all there until evening and decided to spent our night there.

Next day, it was still raining. Everybody's planning go home that day but decided to play outside while raining. So we tripped, went somewhere, played like kids. When we are about to go back at our friend's house, the flood was unstoppable. In just a snap, it suddenly went high. We don't have any choice but to stay at our friend's place. Everyone suddenly got worried.

We spent one night all together again with worried minds that time. There was no electricity, mobile phones don't have coverage, we don't have stock foods, we can see outside the height of flood, people panicking, cars being washed away by the current of flood and a lot more.

Good thing that the rain already stopped and flood were gone the next day. We could all see the aftermath that 'Ondoy' made. Remembering the look of the surroundings that time, it was a sad picture I should say. Most of the areas still don't have electricity, no phone lines, dirty roads, stores don't have much to sell - it was a difficult time.

It took months for everything to be okay and be back to normal. The worst that I had then was the days that we don't have electricity. It was freaking hard 'coz you were used to it. But I remind myself that I am still lucky because my family and loved ones were all safe.

That experience made me realize what's more worthy in life. Looking back, can't help but just be thankful.


• These were photos taken the day before 'Ondoy', everyone was just trippin' and having fun, we never thought it will be a tragedy the next day •

NO!

I am thankful for all those who said

NO

Because of them, I did it myself!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

I super love my Mom. She is the greatest in the world. She's the type of Mom who would always nag whenever she thinks you are not doing the right thing. I always wanna get rid of her whenever she is like that, she's unstoppable. But wait just a few minutes after those nagging times and she'll turn out to be your best friend again. She never fails to make me feel so loved. She would always go an extra mile just to make sure that me and my siblings are doing okay.

It's Mother's Day today.
Go ahead and show your Moms
how you appreciate
their unconditional love.

No one in the world can take the place of your mother.
Right or wrong, from her viewpoint you are always right.
She may scold you for little things, but never for the big ones.
~Harry Truman
