What I wish for my birthday?

I believe I had achieved what I wanted to get this year. The new place to live in, my new camera and rekindling a friendship. It's a blessing for me to have this all. I know there are things that I want that I don't think would be possible and it's a disappointment.

Lately, I have my downs on certain things but I just can't tell what it is. It's better to keep it to myself. I am undecided what could be the best thing to do. I guess in time it will just pass.

I sure hope that there could be unexpected things that could happen on my birthday but definitely will not be expecting more. I don't want to get disappointed. I rather stay on the positive notes that my husband is liking to do for me.

My morning face

Out of my friend's tag, though I really don't like posting my face without make up and no Photoshop. Well, this is me. My real skin, eyes, smile and nose and hair after getting up in bed. I looked terrible. But I guess, beauty is skin deep. So this is it! Me, myself and I.

Ornaments

These are my ornaments for the year. I had these since 2005 and I just used it once. So this year, I am using it again. For the past 2 years, I was using my gold ornaments. This time I switched back to these. It bring back good memories of me and my husband. It was my first Christmas and birthday in the apartment. We just moved recently too so I thought this could be the perfect decor for the year. I think my tree this year is a little bit bigger than what I had maybe I could add more ornaments to fill this tree. But definitely, I will add 1 more ornament that me and my husband already started every year to signify our Christmas together.

Christmas Tree


It's few weeks away from Christmas. I chat with my best friend from Nebraska. She said she's busy fixing her Christmas tree. I asked hubby about when will we buy our own. He said sometime today. It's either I will choose the tree for us while his doing some work. The set up changed. He told me that rather I will be out, we will be doing it together. So we went two places to find the perfect small tree. We did find it. It's still bare now but it will be full of ornaments when I will have the time to decorate.

Toys to Give

As Christmas is approaching, my thoughts are into buying gifts. The main goal for me at this point is the gifts for the children. I am planning to buy gifts for a couple of kids starting from my very own immediate family where I have few nephews and kids from my friends here in the bay area and other places. Children love toys a lot. When I was a kid I do certain love having a new toy during the holidays and play along with my siblings. So, now thinking back the old days I felt like I am a kid again.

Nowadays, older children are influenced by modern technology. They already like to have electronic games. The perfect gift ideas for these are toys like "Nintendo Wii" and "nintendo ds". I could just recall the time when I was a kid. My mom gave me my very first game and watch. The children I grow up with were so jealous of me that I was playing it. I was not a selfish kid so I let them borrowed it so they had the feel of the gadget. They liked me for that.

At Savebuckets, there are so many gifts that you can choose from. Take the time to visit the site. If money is a little tight, you can find cheap toys where money goes a long way. It’s good to shop where prices are right and you can save more in buying less for the money.

Simple Thanksgiving

My day started with a household chores from cleaning to cooking. There are still a lot of things to be done at the house. A number of boxes are spreading the entire abode. I wanted to have it done before Christmas. It is a lot of work when you see all of what I have. But the progress I made together with my hubby is fulfilling.

The day is just doing some chores in the house until at 8:15pm at night we went out to Black Angus. We made our reservations early for we know that it will be so busy for the night. We arrived and people are waiting in line. There was a little late on the service but we seated after 10 minutes of our reservation. We were thankful for the blessings that God has given to us this year and for giving us the new place to moved in. The dinner was good and we were happy about it.

Today, Direct Tv technician will set up our new installation from them. We fired comcast for the fees aren't just great for us. We don't watch Tv often. It's ridiculous to spend more when you don't take advantage that much. Saving some money out from cable is worth paying for the less but better service. I am just hoping that the connection in the house is good and there will be no problem about contacting and interrogating them for bad service.

My Wish for the year

My birthday is coming next month. Christmas is the day before my birthday. It's less than 30 days from now. My husband asked me about what will I want for my birthday. I have no clue yet as to what I would like to have but there are many things I am imagining I would like to have . I could lists some items in here but it doesn't mean I would want to get in one time. If I could just get one, I will be okay.

My Wish Lists:
1. Sony Camcorder - 60gb HD
2. Purse
3. Perfume - Chanel
4. Coat
5. Camera case for Nikon
6. Nikon remote control - bought
7. Nikon 55-200 mm F/4 5.6G ED-IF AF-S DX VR Zoom-Nikkor Lens w/ Vibration Reduction
8. Sandisk 8gb or more - bought
9. Shoes
10. Watch
11. Jewelry - bracelet
12. Nikon D80 - bought

Settling In

Almost a week now that we moved from our new place. I like it here. It's quiet and peaceful. The neighbors are quit and nice. I haven't talked to them but hubby did. I guess they are fine. I hope we will not get into a bad state with them. Our last neighbors in the old apartment was too much. We had encountered exchanging of words because of their noises. I think the neighborhood in the area I live right now is a bit much better. Though across the house there is an apartment complex and parking is hard, but all in all it's so much likable to move in.

Early today, I walked up and clean some more in the kitchen. I had started doing some arranging my food spices in the cabinet and some other items. The dishwasher is running at this time with majority of the glassware. There are so much things to be done so I can finish the kitchen today. Next plan is to arrange the living room where hubby will do the lifting for me. We haven't decided yet to where the Tv will be at and the furniture settings. I hope we can make progress today on that.

So my Thanksgiving is just doing the house chores. It's not so bad at all. My mind is at peace and I am happy to where I am at.

Peaceful Move

We already moved in to a new place. After months of research we found a place that suits some of our needs like having our own washer and dryer, additional room and a garage. It's our 4th day now at the house and so far everything seems fine. There's a little bit of a problem in the house but it's natural for an old house. So far, all that we wished to have for the price is good. In my opinion I liked it here. I have peace in this house and much room to walk and get organized. I will post pictures later when we already done unpacking our stuff.

Been awhile

It has been a long time that my site from here has no entry. My days at home and work is just giving me a lot of time that my energy is wasted. When I got home, I just have a small time to look up the internet and see who's updating who. I won't promise here that I could have an entry but when I will get the chance I will swing by and post some. For now the latest news, well me and hubby are still looking for a new place to move in. It either could be another apartment or a house. It really depend on how things could be going this coming days. I hope we can move before my birthday.

Day with the girls

Ji-ann picked me up with her new car scion xd at 11am. I was greeted with a warm hug and a cheerful smile and laughter. She's a good friend and it's so nice to see her again. I don't often see my friends these days for most of my time I spent it with hubby. I can see them anytime as much as I would want to but these times my hubby needs me for a very good reason so I rather have it spend more with him and I will see friends when I am able. I am glad today that Ji-ann can go for a lunch date as well as Judith whom I chatted the other day and she's interested to go for it too. It was a good day to spend at Super buffet where we ate a lot. The food was great.Past 1am Ji-ann said goodbye while Judith and I went to stroll around Santana Row and also went to watch a movie "The Duchess". My heart bleed with the movie. I loved it but at the same time give me time to reflect what if I was her. What will I do with a Duke who is a womanizer, who doesn't give a damn on returning love or give time to make the marriage work? A prisoner in a great big palace where luxury is outrageous. Will that make me happy? At the end though I felt sad after the movie, it is still a good movie to watch. Keira Knightly is such a great actress. Loved her and her fashion.

How would you feel?

When I graduated from college, just 2 weeks right after graduation I landed a job in a pawnshop as an accounting clerk. I was trained for a month in a main branch then was transferred to another branch located in uptown Cebu. The locals used to call it but now it’s just an ordinary street name. But if you were originally born in Cebu, you will know where uptown is. If you don’t know where it is, the street name called Fuente Osmena. It started from the rotunda going to reclamation area. The concentration is more with Robinson area and the nearby the shopping stores. Changes started when the big mall opened up. I remembered SM, followed by Gaisano country mall then Ayala. The malls died the busy traffic at uptown but still it’s still a good location for peaceful shopping.

Anyway back to my story, it is all about how I worked not being fired. I just witnessed recently how an employee was fired and it was an unlikely sight. I felt terrible. I questioned myself if it could happen to me. But indeed, I had one incident here in the US. My first job assignment was an accounting clerk/admin assistant. I was happy to get the job. When I started working few hours I started, I got the vibe it wasn’t meant to be. The manager asked me if I had an experience working as customer service and I told them no but only here in the US. I got my experience in the PI. I saw an eyebrow raised and it soured my stay there. I called the agency and told them some alibi. When I went home, I got a call from an agency and I was told that I was not fit to the job. It was a failure in my part. But it wasn’t my fault. The manager who supposed to teach me didn’t orient me to what I should suppose to be doing. How can you manage to do your job when you were just handed a manual. What will it do to you when you don’t know anything about their system? That pissed me off. I got really upset because it never really happened to me being treated sarcastically. I got my share of luck to that company when I happen to see their posting for job vacancies several times. Probably it took them to find a replacement the very same position that I supposed to be doing. I got a smile on that. I don’t know now if they were able to find somebody who can stand their approach. That company’s method of orientation sucked.

Joey's Bday

Today is my hubby's birthday. It didn't turn out to be my plan. I don't know why but my spirit is quite low. I bought him a cake yesterday and supposedly will give him when he will still be in bed. He got up early so I missed the excitement. I gave him the cake while he was working with his laptop in the living room. The cake was messed up. It melted from the heat. I was so upset that it didn't look so good. I was a bit dismay on it. But what can I do, I don't want to throw away that in waste after all it's a chocolate cake.

Awhile ago, I was with hubby in Mazda Capitola in San Jose. I thought he will buy the car that he was expecting. We droved one car but Joey doesn't want the manual transmission so we end up going home with no car and no deal. It pissed me off as well because I wanted his day to be special that he will be happy.

Right now, he treated himself to a SPA treatment in Bowers. I could have thought of that so I'm mad of myself why I didn't plan it for him. My conscience is bugging me this very minute. I can't go with him to treat myself too for personal reason so I can't join his relaxation.

I just booked a dinner tonight in Palo Alto. I hope our dinner will be fine. I hate myself today and what the day had been.

Shopping break

Well, it is very exciting to read or hear about shopping. Today isn't so much for me. Majority all the things I bought were all for my hubby. We will spend our wedding anniversary next week on Wednesday. I am preparing myself to get some so by next week I will not rush to buy something I am not fond of. Last night, I spent few hours and thinking what things to buy. So when I had my running around today, it's very easy and not frustrating. I spent a lot I would say. Not too much but just even. I have 5 items total. 3 for the anniversary and 2 for his birthday. I am excited. I spend a few of myself just things that are very necessary but I forgot to buy stocking. I will just buy it tomorrow in a nearby walgreens. Another shopping again. For now, I have to reserved the places I went to and what the items are. My husband might read this. I don't want to spoil the excitement.

Food on my Plate


I am excited to cook fish tonight. I got it from my hubby when he went fishing with his employees. I stocked it in my fridge for days now. I still got a few of them. It will take me several days until I can finish them all.

I had my dinner and I cook the fish with salt, pepper and garlic powder. I liked my fish to be overcooked and crunch. Tonight it was crunchy but not all. I wish I had cooked it more but I don't want to lose the flavor. Yet, when I had in on plate with soy sauce mixed with lemon juice I am happy. I paired it with baked potato. I am trying to avoid rice these days. It's my 5th day now from preventing to eat it. I am glad I did able to not crave for it. I hope it will continue and I can replace with something else. To end my story here, I had a great meal tonight.

Quite Awhile

It has been awhile I haven't posted some lines here. Things have changed recently. From the time I got a new task at work since Aug 15, I only got a few time at night to spend on blogging. I spare some of my strength at the other blog ILLUSTRATION OF PASSION though not all the time. I can only write when able. But just to let other people know that this site is still running and today I am updating it.

Well, I got a good news from work. I got my raise. I am expecting that it will reflect on the 25th pay or perhaps on the 9th of next month. I have a 15% increase. Not pretty bad but I wish to have more. LOL! I understand my company. It's a non-profit so I can't expect more on that. I am happy that my boss is satisfied with my job and he is glad I stayed. So much cheers today but will hold it until I can see my pay check. :)

No work

I woke up sometime around 4am uneasy in bed with my stomach growling. I did number 2 and it was not so good. I guess the pizza I ate last night had something to do with that. Maybe the dough was bad or something. Hubby bought frozen pizza the day before. I am not sure whether it was cooked thoroughly or the pizza itself is bad. When I tasted it last night, there was something that I didn't like. I was not sure if it's the sauce or something. But my stomach can attest that there was something bad because I got sick until I did report early today at work. Then, when I was just 20 minutes there my stomach was making noise again and I rushed to go to the bathroom. I talked to my boss after and he said I will just take off when I won't be able to handle it. So I went home. I just stayed at home watching tv and feeling my stomach.

Buyer's remorse

The real estate market is slow and the economy is in no way to recover soon. Many are affected with the prices and equity value going down. I am in this position trying to think that it is okay but it is not. Just imagine how you wanted to sell your home in a profit that you will definitely want to get but can’t sell it the way it is planned. Instead, you hold it until the value of the house recovers but with the US economy right now. Nobody knows when. There are many economists trying to forecast about the incremental value of the houses but nobody is certain if things can recover at what it is forecasted. It is still a mystery now whether it can recover 5 years from now or maybe more and longer than that. I will just cross my fingers for the fastest recovery.


For_opportunities

I bought a home when it is slowly going down. I didn’t know how the market will play at that time so right now I am stocked with the mortgage. It is very hard to joggle all the bills I am paying right now. I wish there could be a debt relief for this. But I guess right now the best thing to do is to consolidate debt in a very good manner so everything can be paid in time. It is just sometimes hard when there is an unexpected spending. Now that I am very cautious of my expenses, I am glad to read about BillsIQ. They help people with financial problems and offer advices to help. It varies though from household to a person. For more details pay a visit to Bills IQ. There are topics like Debt consolidation,Debt help,Credit card debt,Credit counseling,Bankruptcy and a lot more.

Montara State Beach


I was with hubby when we took the route to Half Moon Bay to this location. It was a very nice afternoon. Not so cold, a little bit breezy but it was definitely a good day. It was going to San Francisco maybe 20 minutes away. We were on top of a hill. The shore is down the hill but we didn't go down there. It would take minutes to go down so we just stayed where we were and took some shots. It was a new discovery. There are so many places here to take really good picture with nature. I just don't have the best camera but I think I got some vision on what a good place maybe.

Victory Hair

I am married for almost 3 years now. My wedding anniversary will be next month. I am planning ahead on how to make that day special. Last year, my husband took me to NAPA Valley. He toured me the beautiful scenery of the vines, and did some wine tasting. It was a very nice moment for us to be together, hand in hand romantically spending our day exploring. I did surprise him a lunch at Winery train. The food was so delicious. While we were having the great time with our food, at our right window we saw the fabulous winery cruising from South to North. It was my first time to dine in a moving train. I was lucky to make that choice because I was happy I sparkled my husband’s moment to get that Victory Hair feeling I was hoping to get for and which I did.

As for my plan next month, maybe I will book a hotel somewhere in San Francisco or a candle light dinner overlooking the city. It will be a romantic setting. I will buy a good wine and gifts for him. I know my husband will like it. His very appreciative of the things I do so I believe it will work.

Office Challenge

I didn't know how are things going in the office not until I got an email from my boss last Friday. He told me about a new change and it will give me more $$ if I am ready. I wasn't aware what's happen but I had assumed I know the cause of the problem. It started when he was very cranky that rattled me and my other counterpart. From that day, I had thought to sign in my letter and let them know how long will I stay. Instead, I was thinking that I still got no other job to replace. Better I will let myself work until I can find a new one. It wasn't the work that is a problem. It is the people's unfair treatment.

I just told by my boss when I stayed after work waiting for my hubby. I set in my cube and he told me about the offer that I will replace the position that will going to be vacant soon. I didn't say yes but it will be a good thing for me. Not that I want to stay in the company but because of the fact I want more experience and task. I will be so happy about it and just wish my new counterpart will be a good employee too. I will have a meeting tomorrow with the director and my manager. I will cross my finger on that. I hope for the best.

Rekindle what was Lost

An email started from my end with a simple “HI” and not much word spoken. A replied was sent few minutes after. It wasn’t expected. At first I was hesitant to read what the message wrote. But brave to face it. Positive notes of information was said, I felt relieved. Within minutes from that first email, a few times of exchanged emails was sent. I had a good sleep that night.

I had seen her, talked and laughed again. I am so happy of what’s going on. I wish for the best of us and wish to continue to be as positive as there has always been with us.

Friends Good News

A few months ago, a friend of mine invited to go to a mall and just shop around. She came first to my work and see where I am working. I introduced her to one of my co-worker and see the warehouse of donations. We droved started from my job to Westgate. Our first stop was in Ross. We were browsing the store. Until I asked her if she's pregnant. She was reluctant to say it but later admitted that she is. So happy to know it by first hand. I am so lucky to hear it.

Then now my friend who used to live in Minnesota just recently moved to Alaska. She told me just today about her news. I am so happy that she let me know about her condition. Few days past, she told me that she's speculating she could be pregnant but today she confirmed it to me that she is.

Now, with all of these friends getting pregnant. I am wondering if when will my time be. I am ready to get pregnant but the responsibility that lies within it could make a big change. There are still many plans that I am hoping to achieve before the baby comes. I don't want to waste my years though not to get pregnant or else opportunity might not get into me. I just wish that God will blessed me when things are settled.

Pillar Harbor, Half Moon Bay

Hubby came home at 4pm while I was chatting with Wella. He asked me whether we'll be going out. When he asked me that, he wanted to go somewhere else. So I said yes. I don't know where we'll be head at. We stopped first at Starbucks few blocks from where we live. Got my tall frappucino mocha where he got his Americano. Minutes passed we were on Highway 101 taking north passed mountain View and exited to Half Moon Bay.

The area was quite foggy. Hoping it could be a clear bright sunny day. Good that I brought my coat while hubby his sweatshirt. We arrived at Pillar Harbor. Hubby is interested to look for a boat. He was thinking for a company outing that they might be having soon. In my mind it could be one of his suggestion if his big boss will asks. I told him that if I can go when it will be approved. He just smiled at me. It just meant "no". Well, it's their company outing. I am an outsider. Just a wishful thinking though.

Anyway, we seen the boat that he was interested to see. Took some pictures. With a chilly atmosphere I was craving for a soup. We stopped at Sam's chowder restaurant. Waited for 15minutes seated in a comfy seat facing the ocean. It was a good evening to spend and just ate for dinner.

My Friday at work

wrote: 8:55am Hope Services

Today is a fine day. I wake up feeling better not tired. I get ready for work, left the house after some time, arrived at work 7 minutes before 8. I was previously instructed from the boss not to log in early for it will be considered OT. He will not pay for me on that excess minutes. It isn’t really a big deal for me if will not pay. What pisses me off is when said things the way his explaining it to me. It sounded I am not worthy to pay for my hardwork on just a routine daily task. He could just say it in the right way. Use proper verbal approach but his ways doesn’t constitute his concern. It’s like he will pay me when he sees progress of work load. Why he can’t come up with an idea to give me a load that can improve my daily task. Well, his just a weak manager though. Anyway, I hope my day will be good today. No complaints from donors and the people around and his mood.

Bad busy day

Well the past 2 days at work was hell. The month of July is busy for the company. Summer is a busy season. Lots of people moving, disposing any items to organization like ours is the perfect solution for people who wants to get rid of their stuff. Since I got back from work, not a dull moment where the phone won't ring. It will just keep on ringing from time to time. It is though a manageable task. But when donors came in to facility, task can be completed at times. You have to use your common sense as to which one would be prioritize.

I was doing multi-tasking at all times. Thursday is such a busy day for me. I need to make a week route for the 3rd week of August. All eyes were concentrated on my task and will be interrupted by phone calls. I can't manage to look up outside as to who will be going to the facility. I was expecting my counterpart would do that for me. Just surprisingly, my boss came in between our cube. He was exhilarating his opinion as to why would the two of us didn't see the donor who came. Kristal said she saw the donor but didn't move until the boss was the one who did it. As for me, I didn't see it because I was doing my schedule. How will I be able to do my task if no one would help me. That contradicts my counterpart behavior because she did nothing to help me out. So the problem came and the complaints from the boss. He said he will reprimand us a notice next time. My day turned sour after.

The second day which was yesterday. I came to work opened up my email and there it went again. An email from the boss. He was sending rude emails stretching his concern. With what he said, it did spoil my day. He always love to make flames. No wonder people doesn't like him. I can tell and base on some people that I know from the job, they don't respect him that much. What can I say, his attitude doesn't constitute a good return.

It was a busy day too but good I didn't see him any complaints on my work today. He appreciated the time I spent with the donors and joggling some other task. I hope he recognize that I am not a lazy person and I always loved to help.

I hope I can find another job soon. I am looking right now. I started posting some resume. I hope someone can see my potential and hire me. I am very much looking forward to some changes.

Reason to Walk

I worked in the company where we provide services for people with developmental disabilities. It would range from different kinds of level in disabilities. Alzheimer’s are among we support. Having to read this cause for raising awareness and get funds for the care of this people I am up for it. I could not extend my support financially but to be able to touch other people’s lives will be my main focus on this.

I am calling everyone to join Alzheimer's Memory Walk. Walk for a reason by helping others. If you have the leader in you, participate and organize a team where you can gather people that would love to help and care. It is a 2-3 mile walk held every weekend in the fall. There are a lot of communities around and if you want to look further visit the site. Sign up and do your cause. It is up to you what areas you want to share. A volunteer, a sponsor it does matter whatever the least you can take part. The main goal for this is to lovingly create a community where the purpose is to be one in giving some life of this people.Sponsored by Alzheimer's Walk

Irritating Smell

I worked with a good healthy feeling. I was sick with headache last night. I can't forcedly open my eyes because I was hurting with pain. I guess I strained my eyes from the recent trip I had. Right after the day of arrival, get back to work back to the normal time which haven't adjusted due to the time difference. I guess what triggers my headache was the broken air conditioning system. There was a roof replacement that was going on with the past few weeks. Maybe out of that work, they had mistakenly touched part of the wire. We were there in the office feeling so hot. I had fanning myself with the papers I had in hand. It was so hot.

But today is another one story not far off from the illness. I still got an ache but not as troublesome like last night. It's just a mild and bearable pain. What caused it, is by this time with the asphalt smell from the roof top that the maintenance guys were doing. It was so terrible working with unhealthy atmosphere. The office isn't bad as you might thought in mind. The reason for all of this was the replacement of the roof. I hope they could get to finish it this week. I wanted to work better next week with a healthy body condition.

Been Gone for Days

Just got back from my trip yesterday. I am still adjusting on my time for bed. Though my eyes are tired, my mind is still functioning. So I spare most of this time to write something what has been on the past 2 weeks. The first week was merely spending the time to Joey's family and relatives. We visited his siblings, and cousins. We attended his niece wedding the Luciens Manor in Berlin New Jersey, few eat out for lunch and dinner with the family and relatives. It was all worth spending. We have been away for almost 3 years and the family was just delighted to see us. We started our journey to spend the rest of the 2nd week in Philadelphia, Atlantic City, Hersheys World and New york touring. It was a great time to spend with. We could have wished to have more days there in the East coast to travel other state but we just did what we can do on what days that were available. In general we had fun and it was enjoyable.

Quite A Day

I worked today and its quite too busy. As usual I still don't get so much help from my co-worker. And one of them is making me nuts. I don't want to reveal who she is but I just don't like the way she treated me. For the past month I thought we already patched our differences, but it seems now it's getting worst. The more the days are getting busier, she's changing a bit. I don't know what's up with her. Anyway, I don't care so much if I will resign. I will give her the medicine she deserves. She's getting on my nerves and I believe she felt the same way with me. I tried to be cordial but if she's tough I could get even with her.

I am just running some thoughts here for the last minute. I still have to do some packing and help my husband. I will be in the east coast for 13 days and we will depart tomorrow at 12pm. We'll visit relatives and attend a wedding and do some city tour with 3 different states. I wish for the best of the trip and enjoy all the days staying there. Follow me in my journey!

The change

From last week heatwave and now a cooling weather and with the fire that hit last Sunday, the sky is gloomy. The smell of the ashes is terrible. I had not coping the weather change. I got a terrible headache yesterday. I came to work with a headache. When my boss came, he asked how I've been. I told him not so good. He asked me why and I told him that I got a headache. I took my break for lunch. Tried to take a nap for 15 minutes and eventually I did sleep in that period of time. That just how tired and sick I was. I came back to work and logged in to proceed to do my thing.

Our office is undergoing a roof repair. During the rainy season, it was terrible. The ceiling had some spots due to the leakage. The management was caught up on the complaints from the Director so they're doing the repair now since the season is over. With the repair that is going on, with the headache I was facing, the rattling sounds or should I say the noise from the hammer trigger my illness to got worst. I took some pills already few hours before that. My head was still pounding. 30 minutes after I got in from my break, my boss came to me and told me to go home. He said it's not going to better if I stay with my head that's pounding in pain. I didn't say no to that. Anyway, I am entitled for my sick leave and I am not using it often. I was glad that I came home and relax.

Luck not in the side

I felt a little sad on how things are going these days. First was that SS give me temporary penalty for an error I made on the interim post policy. So meaning my account is locked up for days. I just hope that even though they locked me up after gaining back my account, they will still give me OP. The second thing was at my job. My boss give me another questioning mood again. Despite his mannerism, I don't give a damn anymore. I am counting 6 more weeks and I will be gone. I need to start my own business and I believe I have more freedom on my time. Also if I can, find a new better job and better rate. The 3rd thing came up, the aircon didn't blow up some cold air. Hubby and I didn't sleep well last night due to that. So by this morning, hubby came to purchase a new aircon from Home Depot. The 4th thing, while me and hubby was looking for some houses in San Jose, he noticed the engine light is on. It is still a new car and it show some error. So we were kind of worried. We got home and hubby came to check it. He assumed he pumped a not so good quality gas the last time he gas up the car. I hope nothing major happen on the car. We don't want things to go so wrong especially that we only driving one car this time. My hubby's truck got a problem and he can't drive it anymore. He need to get some time to fix it and the place we are living it will not be happening. We will find another car after our trip this coming July. More expenses ahead of us. I hope things can be settled soon. Nothing major happen and we could find our luck someday. Wish us the best of luck! Will be needing it.

Cancun

It was an ultimate dream to able to see this beautiful shoreline of Cancun. I came here year 2006. It was almost 2 years from the time I visited the place. An anniversary wedding gift from hubby who always make surprises. I was thankful and happy for he thought of showing me this magnificent beach. I had a good time exploring the sand and walking hand in hand under the moonlight. A moment not to forget. It was a significant to remember all the good memories. I am showing to you here a picture of me and the shore of Cancun. I was seated in front of our hotel. This was the last afternoon and I took this picture while my hubby was capturing the scene with the handy cam. We stayed at Royal Islander, the best hotel view so far with all our travels.

Sausalito, CA

I have been visiting Sausalito a few times. It is an upscale little town. The town is facing the bay. It is a very nice place to live. But with how the property is facing the body of water, it is extremely expensive to purchase a house there. There is also a dock area where the boats are. I wish I could own one and live one. Just an extreme thought. I don't know where and how to achieve success in finances. I am no entrepreneur but I might be one day. It is up to me if I want to improve or not. But let's just think that all of this thoughts are just wishes.

The last time I went to visit was with Jane. She's my very best cousin in the whole wide world. We might be blood related but she seems like to me a friend, all in one. I love her dearly and she means a lot to me. This is the picture of the place with me and Jane.

The Way I Look

When I look at myself, the best asset I could think to drive people’s attention is by the way my eyes are and the smile I can extend to them. You might agree or not, see it for yourself with the picture below. One that I can attest was with how my husband captured his heart leading to marry me. It is not just by the look itself but the whole package as well.

While I was still dating back then, I always make an impression of using my eyes. The very effective moment I was using that very look was one day I was in the hotel with friends. We were watching a musical group in the lobby. Across from our table there was this cute guy. I glanced in his direction and waited until he noticed me. Just a few minutes of waiting, he saw me and he didn’t blink his eyes. I was smiling deep inside. After I locked him with that stare, he approached to our table and offered everyone a drink. That was back then when I was single, now I am married I used my flirting ways to my husband to get that Victory Hair.

Don’t be despair if you are still single. There are still more chances of you to find that perfect moment. Start challenging yourself by joining this Ultimate Flirting Championship. This is an Extreme Style by VO5. Who knows you might find somebody or learn something from the game. I am sure this game will give you an improvement of yourself on how to manage some flirting situations. Relationship starts with some little flirt before going to deep. It is not a bad thing to begin on the thing that needs improvement. Try some challenge and don’t be afraid to take some risk.

Weird Feeling

My day was busy at work. I had to do a new schedule for July 7-11. I had not been focusing about it because the phone was busy. Besides, my co-worker is not helping me much. It is like they will wait on me to take that call. I hate it now. I would be happy if I could just be there working alone than with them when you know they won't help you. It is frustrating at times also when they give you some attitude.

At the end of the day, I talked to my boss with the schedule. His giving me questions I didn't answer him positively. He is into his questioning mood again. Behind my mind, I don't give a damn on what he thinks and what he might think of me. I've been doing my job as possible as I can. Whatever extra works that is needed, I will always make sure to work on it fast and accurately. I had enough of his attitude. There's more few weeks to go and I can finally tender my resignation. The 3rd week of July is my target plan. After a wee from my vacation, I will give him the surprise of his life. Let's see what his going to do then. I don't want to stay even if I can't find a new job.

Fixing something

I have been here sitting facing my butt on the laptop. I came home dismayed on my shopping that was not successful. I was trying at this time to get all things done that I must supposed to do today. With some bad luck on my account on paid blogging that I received one rejection but the majority gave me positive feedback. I am just hoping that all of my posts will be approved. As to my travel mileage from US Airways. I am devastated on the fees that they implement on reinstating my miles. For 17,000 miles I had, they will charge $100 for a fee. Is that ridiculous? I could have paid $25 when they sent me an email last May 28. They just give short notice and it will expire on the 30th. Is that how they do it these days? I am eligible to have that fee wave but the lady I spoke with insisted that I will pay the full amount of $100. How about my hubby's miles of more than 25K, they will charge him $200 for that. It is so strange with the air lines these days. No wonder they go bankrupt. I will talk to my hubby tonight on how we will gonna do it. Paying 300 bucks is way too much. I could buy a purse coach on that.

Not much Help

I left work with some kind not feeling good because I felt that my co-worker doesn't help me. Majority all of the calls I am handling it. I would be okay when the phone is not crazy. But if I joggle with the calls and attending the phone dispatch that make me nuts. It doesn't make me nuts actually if it's just me alone there. I should have a hand doing the job but it happened there's 2 of us and the girl who supposedly would give me a hand was just too insensitive she didn't pick up the call. So it ended up the 3rd line was kept on ringing. I didn't take the call because I had enough of her that she didn't move. My boss picked up the call and he checked after from a far if I wasn't doing anything but I had a donor in line that I talked to. At least I took pride that I did my best to joggle the calls. I just have 1 mouth to deal with so I didn't mind it at all.

Test yourself

You are a good looking girl haven’t been dating anyone for awhile. You wake up good, showered, dressed up and your hair is stunning. You don’t have anything to do for the weekend since you are alone and so you went out drove the car and head to the mall. It was a busy day in the parking lot. You drive around all over the area almost want to give up. You want to find that empty spot desperately until you look at your rear view mirror you noticed a car behind you following the same thing you are doing. It put you anxiety to get the first move when you see 2 empty spot. You maneuvered the space that left empty and turned off the engine. Walked out of the car, you noticed the car that was following you parked right close to where you are and a man came out from the vehicle and extended you a smile. He said hi for no reason and wanted to walk you by. He asked you to have some coffee with him and from there on both of the excitement rose up until something happened you never intent to imagine. You achieved that Victory Hair you thought didn’t expect for some time with a stranger. It made your day and the guy wanted to see you again.

Chilly day

I went to work today feeling a little bit chilly. It was kind of weird to have this chilly day when it had been days of being in the warm zone. Anyway, it's good to have this kind of weather than feeling the heatwave. I had frequent headaches when it had happened and glad now that it wasn't so bad. Nothing much to tell at work, I am still doing all the majority calls. My boss was helping me in some way. Kristal is off today so it's just me and Liz. My boss didn't know and of course he messed up again his calendar that he forgets about Kristal's off today. I wonder where he set his priorities. But I am glad, nothing bad happen to me and him. I just don't mind him so much now. I will just be counting the days I could be there working.

Hollywood Love

Did you see the movie Moulin Rouge? It is one of the movies that I really love. And, the famous line that I am sure you could remember “The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.” It is a very touching movie and every time I watched it I’ll be in tears.

I am no person to give my trust and love in that instant. But I had been challenge by love before and I found it. For my curiosity on how good I could be with myself with dating, I tested myself with the online game on how to play and achieve Victory Hair. It is an Ultimate Flirting Championship between 3 people who can outflirt each other. Producing the game is Extreme Style by VO5. Whoever gets the answer better will win the game.

Plan for the day

Last week was kind of unfortunate for my honey. His truck giving him problems until last Friday, as you all know its Friday the 13th. It's quite a bad day for him. The truck was giving him problems to the last minute that he pushed it so hard just to be able to get back to our place. It caused him so much stress. So our plan for the day is to look for cars. Not too certain if we will get a brand new, but for now all we need to concentrate upon is to get a reliable car for him. I am still paying my dues for my car so we will be considering some monetary plans on the next one. We don't guarantee of the progress of our search today, but we will still be looking around for few days. Also, considering my neighbors bad behavior which happened again yesterday. They were arguing until the police came. I don't know who call for the police and it was settled right away. This bastards are just making us all nuts. Sorry for my language, but that just how I feel about them. So with that, it pushed up to find some new place to settle in. We are hoping by August we can move from here. By that, we need to start packing. It will be so tiring then but we just want our peace of mind to leave out of this place.

Getting some Opps

It is amazing today when I got up I checked right away as to what SS could give me. Out of my delight I have 6 Opps to do. It blows my mind away. But I am happy they give me the chance to write my thoughts about. I just did the last Opp and finally I can relax. I have to eat lunch in awhile I am getting so hungry. I wanted to finish my last task so I can watch tv and read my book hopefully to finish it today. Will you see you in a bit.

Pacific Ink

My job involved a lot of printing maps and reports. If not every day, it is most of the time. I am not only the one using the printer so everyone in the company is using it. Ink cartridges would likely be replaced often. With my company, Dell is the brand name that we are using for our printers. We have 4 of them and that alone it will let you know how it satisfies the company with the same usage of brand name. It is a quality product. The company is very contented with its performance.
Pacific-ink-logo
With a number of usage of printing, ink cartridges is known by us that we always purchase from time to time. The pacific ink website features a lot of cartridges. A few months ago, my boss informed me to research some website that offers the best deals. I gave him some websites that I know of. Now I know this one, as soon as I will report to my work next week I will introduce to him this site. The price range is cheaper than the one I researched a few months ago. This will be a good deal for us. The website also includes other models of printers. This will not only apply to my company but can be referred by other companies who use other sort of models. If looking for the best deals with cartridges take a look at this, there are so many to choose from epson ink cartridges , canon ink cartridges, dell printer cartridges and many others.

At home I am using brothers, so I will buy one when my ink will run dry. I will let my husband know about this perhaps he can also recommend this to his company. Don’t second guess with this website, go ahead look for your model and order products that you want.

Tarsier

I visited Bohol several times when I was still in the Philippines. The picturesque beauty of the surrounding had captivated my love for nature. It is so nice to enjoy the moment when looking at the view that’s enchanting. One of the reason Bohol is a tourist destination place. It is the world known for it’s white powdery, turquoise water in Panglao, chocolate hills in Carmen, “Sandugo” in Baclayon and the last but not the least famous for the smallest monkey in the world Tarsier. This tiny little animal is like a size of your palm. It has big round eyes.

I happen to see one of its kind year 2004 with my parents and Joey when we toured Bohol. They live in a small tree just like a clay pot tree you could display at your house. The tree stands 2 feet to 5 feet tall having few leaves and branches. Their kind is going to get extinct so the government is helping their habitat to be safe as possible.

Up close with the animal, it so cute I would like to pet them at home. I know it isn't a good idea to take them from the environment they live. It is just wishing that I could have such a cute pet.

Dating

A good day to start our day with some coffee from Starbucks that my husband swang by at the nearest location. We spent our few hours watching tv while waiting for our appointment at 2:30pm. We took a shower, dressed and ate out first at King Chopstick near San Tomas Expy. Few minutes there and was entertained by a very wholesome vietnamese who thought I am vietnamese. She said I looked like Thailander but my hair looks like viet. That's still a compliment. Afterwards, drove to Scott boulevard heading to N Winchester Blvd. It took us sometime to find a parking lot in Santana Row. Until able to find a good place few walking distance to Inspa. We were greeted by the receptionist, took our names and had to filled out information. It was a good day to have a relaxing massage. We walked through some boutiques and then drop by to DSW. I didn't find what I'm looking for so will take another time to find a tennis shoes that I really want. Hubby decided to come home and let us check on movie. I searched the time schedule, went to AMC Mercado in Mission College and watched Indiana Jones. It is so nice to spend the day dating. We always have the moment to spare every weekend and I love doing it. For me dating can make the relationship work, it is the best time to do it now while we still don't have kids. Dating should not stop if there are kids. Never stop doing it and don't let other people's judgment intervene what it is best for you.

Do some chores

I came home early every friday 30 minutes earlier than the regular time. I just work 7.5 hours every friday and there is also 1 friday that I will not be working. Today is the day that I have to report and do some kicking. It wasn't bad at work. My boss was at his good mood. He didn't give me problems for few weeks now. The new responsibility he gave me helped him to light up his work and made him happy about it for I did a good job. I hope it will continues to be like that.

Anyway, I think I already off from what this post is all about. I just want to let you know how tiring it will be for anyone who lives here in the US who doesn't have so much to do more job especially doing chores at home. I did 3 loads of laundry today. It was a bit tough to carry all the clothes back and forth at a 2nd floor apartment. I did survive but I've got aching back now. Tomorrow I will do another chores to clean up the place. So see you all in a bit and will see you again next time.

Green for the Future

My experience exploring the “How to Get a Green Thumb?” was useful. It enlighten me more on how beneficial it is to be aware on how our world is doing and what it’s going to happen in the near future. I did make a comment because I agree of using artificial plants can help people with symptoms of allergies.

My husband is prone to seasonal allergies. It is very sad to look at him suffering when it happens. At home we don’t use real plants we likely to use artificial silk plants. Not only it is economical, we can also help from destroying our environment but cutting trees. I would go for green in the future. I don’t want our world to be bald. The more greenery there is the better. Thus, using silk plants is very advantageous not just for people who have allergies but also the nature of the earth.

What the day had been

This morning the day was gloomy. It looks like it's going to rain but it did not. A little bit cooler. All my co-workers were wearing sweaters where I just wore a casual tops. I felt a little bit cold but I didn't mind it. When the lunch time came, I went outside to have a 15minutes break just to relax inside my car and listen to music. The sky is getting better and it was a nice moment to find peace.

The clock strike at 4:30 I logged out, turned the phone lines off eventhough Liz wasn't there yet. She was attending a buyer but I can't wait for her to get back. I just went to check with her and told her that I turned off all the lines while she's negotiating with the auto buyer. I hurriedly drove to Savemart. A 10 minutes drive from work. The streets not busy so it's a good drive. The routes I take always not so busy. I feel relieve on that. Anyway, I parked the car when I was in the location. A guy came up to me while I was heading to the door and asked for money. I ignored him walking too fast and he said "have a nice day" disgusted. Why would anyone ask for money when they're very healthy they are able to work. It could just mean one thing they're lazy and look for easy money. I hate those people. We immigrants are even striving hard to a different country to survive and earn a living than having this local who just ask for money. No way, I would care to give a dime.

It was few minutes from all the things that I need to buy I came home ate some left over pizza for snacks. I need to iron my clothes, wash the dishes, cook some dinner and clean up the apartment. A lot of things to do and I should or must do. Until then , see you next time.

Nice day

It is a nice day today. It is not chilly nor it is not hot. Every lunch time with the 15mins time remaining that I have for break time, I spend it inside my car rolling up all the windows and relaxing. The wind is so nice when it goes through the car. It is a nice feeling to feel at ease and just lay being comfortable at the same time listening to my favorite radio station. I just started this a week ago. I love doing it. As long as the weather will stay the same like this. I will often go out just to get some fresh air.

Death Tolls

I am reading now at yahoo's current events on how China's quake devastated a lot of families in the province of Sichuan. It reached to 68,977 deaths and probably more with the missing people that's not counted. It is very overwhelming scenario for the families that lost their loved ones and their homes. Areas of their livelihood could be affected too. If that quake could happen in the Philippines, I wonder how could the government support the people when majority lives under poverty. There is not much funds to help the needy. Whereas with China, it's one of the giant country that doing very well with their economy.

I am thinking on how will these affected families changed their lives with the current situation they have. Everything might be lost in their position. How will they strive to meet up their new life? I know it is not my business to mind their own, but I just give sympathy to people. What if it could happen to us? How are we going to survive?

Friday Off

I started my day checking my emails and websites. The afternoon was a date to meet up a friend. I hang out with Odette 1pm in her place. We talked and lunch out at Buca de Beppo. I was shopping with clothes while she helped me chose what could be helpful for the occasion. Her advice is absolutely right and I bought a dress and a sweatshirt. She was fun to be with. No pretenses just being with ourselves.

Just now I am a little bit dizzy from the strawberry raspberry margarita I drunk from Chili's which is just 1 block away from our place. My husband and I dined there. I was craving for barbecue. I got a combo of Half baby back ribs and grilled lemon shrimp it was good. There was some left over. I asked for "to go" box again. I always ask that every restaurant we dine at.

I have to go now. I am quite tired and my eyes are a little heavy. The tequila is working on me. I will say good night and will see you again next time.

Drive to LA

More than 6hours on the road, it was tiring to go all the way there. If only we didn't hit traffic it could have been so relaxing but we got the adventure as expected. Along the way, we saw hills and greenery taking Highway 5. With the greenery surroundings, the music on the radio and the sound of the cars engine and friction of the rubbers car, it was soothing to see this view. I had suddenly took this picture when we passed by this. It had catch my attention. A souvenir of the long road trip that me and my husband did for the first time.

Breezy Day

The heat wave last week was too painful to feel. People got sick and in our company itself. Many called in sick. The boss got pissed that the route schedule for the week was totally messed up. If not with the other good loyal drivers, the business could be so terrible. There are a lot of unexpected things that happened made my boss so twisted. I should say good for him. My bad but how can I help it. I got mad at him at times when his shotting the gun at me with no valid apparent reason. He always jump a gun without further investigation. It doesn't make him really a good manager which somehow he told me and accepted.

Anyway, back to the weather today. When I left the apartment, I felt the breeze walking the down the stairs towards where I parked my car. I wanted to go back to get a jacket but I just kept on. I started the ignition, wait for sometime the car to heat up and arrived at work 10 minutes after. I walked to the building and it was breezy. I walked steadfastly and l logged in. 8 hours past, I left the building and my hair was messy with the air brushes my head. It was a pretty good blow where walking towards my car I was moved by the weight of the wind.

Another visit to Santa Cruz

When I miss the beach, I will always go to Santa Cruz. This is the always hide out place I want to get myself relax. Seeing the people do their own thing from hiking, biking, walking, swimming, surfing and many other activities is a lot of fun to see.

Yesterday, I went with hubby. I told him I want to have another photo of the light house. When we parked in front, we see the Hola hoop girls doing their hola's. There were couple of girls that were really good to look at and some were just too painful to see. It wasn't expected that the weather could be breezy. When I took my photos, hubby was forcing me to come and go inside the car. He couldn't stop being cold. It was foggy too. I thought it could be warm clear sky day. Despite the weather, we just stayed inside loving the scenery.

Summer is in the air

I had felt the warmth of the weather. Yesterday, I got a terrible headache. I always had it when the weather changes. Not only that it was the weather, it was also the heat of the moment at work where I need to indulge myself to do more than what I can barely manage. I loved the situation when it’s tough and it’s a challenge. Only that it gave me so much headache after for I want to accomplish more than what is expected of me.

My day was shorter at work for time moves fast without knowing it. In the evening, with a warm weather it made me sick. Hubby tried to gave me a message in the head and it was a little relief. The impulse of my aches was so unbearable that I just lay in the couch closed eyes. After dinner, took some pills for pain reliever and not knowing that I had fallen asleep in the couch. I heard a whisper telling to wake up and moved to the other room to sleep.

China's Quake

I just mentioned from my previous post of the terrifying possible quakes in the future. Not in CA but in China instead. It reached a magnitude of 7.8 killing 10,000 people, casualties and destruction. Mother nature could be angry at us if you might not notice it. There is a war for energy resources from Iraq, typhoons from tropical countries like Myanmar, quake in China, tornado in US Central midwest and there could be some other aspect it might not written or published. It is very scary now to think about it. What could be next, when it will be, and where it is going to hit? We all just pray and hope it will not be so fearful.

Tornado Season

It is very touching to read another horrible article from the current news days ago about the tornado hitting the Central Midwest. I am sad and I would like to extend my prayers for the people that was affected either by losing a home, properties and loved ones.

Here in California, we don't have tornadoes but we are in the center of the earthquake zone. Anytime or in God's time, destruction can happen. Scary indeed yes. I am not prepared to face that in the future and I know I must need to prepare myself in case it will happen. So going back to what happened to Missouri, Georgia and Oklahoma, there is no better warning with this weather change. Tornado can happen quick and when it hit its fast. So people has no better luck of saving what they have if they aren't aware when this thing could happen. I am glad I am not in the tornado alley state but I am not further still be in a safe zone with the rattle of the quake happen.

Mesmerizing Beach

I am no good of wearing swimsuit but just wanted to post this picture for this was taken at Playa del Carmen Beach in Mexico. The beach is walking distance from our resort. Across this beach is Cozumel, where lots of tourists from the cruise ship land into. Lots of shopping over there as I've heard but I got no intension of spoiling my day relaxing in this beautiful beach.

I don’t admire easily going to the beach and swim. This one enthralled me. The water was calm. It was after sunset the water is warmer but refreshing. It was a good choice to spend our first wedding anniversary in there. A little pricy on the resort but money is worth its value. I was so thankful that my husband took time to find the best place for us to enjoy our day. I was lucky enough to be there and had a great time of my life.

Phenomena

I was reading the news in yahoo right now. Cyclone hits Burma known as Myanmar killed 4,000 people. An unaccounted number maybe could reach to 10,000. Our world is changing. Climate does drastically change. It is not by nature itself but because of human intervention. I wonder how our world will look like and how would our next generation will face this challenge in the years to come.

It is not too late for us to be aware of this. We should be conscious on the things we do that can harm the environment. We’ve heard a lot of global warming but are we really taking this matter seriously. I just hope we can go for “Green environment”. I would still want to see some green in the future even though I know our world is going to be modernized.

Changing weather

Its already May but it is feel like the cold weather won't go away. Yesterday I attended a hawaiian party. I wore a tube dress thinking that I won't get cold at night. Just in case, I bought a coat with me. Indeed I was right, weather suddenly dropped and the need to wore something more was a must. Some of the people at the party was just feeling ok but as for me, it is very unusual for me for the month of May. I think all over the country experience different weather phenomena. I hope we can do something about this so we don't get so much problems in the future.

Cloudy day

It is a little cooler weather today and it seems this week has been that way. It is like a strange whether from a warmer weekend then when the week starts its chilly. Sometime you can't just expect what mother nature will do. But definitely it is still a better day though it is cloudy.

This time I am just looking outside from my cube. I can tell that just by looking at it's a bit windy. Branches of the trees were swinging by and it is feels like colder. I will see what it's gonna be later when I get off. I am just quite bored at the job right now. It is slow today. Another more hour until I can know for sure.

Royal Porto Real, Mexico

My husband surprised me a trip to Mexico. He booked this resort. Actually, the whole trip was. He had planned it for our 1st wedding anniversary. He had asked me prior whether I want to be surprised. I had said no at first but changed my mind. I bothered him about it so he told me days before we left as to what areas we’re going. Our first stop will be in Playa del Carmen.


The hotel was very beautiful. The building structures, lay out, paintings and details were pretty well put into placed. We stayed at a Junior Suite Room. It has a vanity area, Jacuzzi and balcony. Outside the balcony you can see the other side of the building similar structure as our room. It is a good feeling to lay and relax on the hammock looking far at the sky and the beach.

If our flight wasn’t delayed for 6 hours, we could have spent the entire 2 days. Instead we arrived before midnight on the first day, just slept and ate. It was a short stay. It wasn’t bad though because the experience was well spent in the beach, dining out and shopping at First Avenue.

The surprised made by my husband was a special gift. It was a great moment to be in that place and having the time well spent.
