Hey!!!
How was your Christmas guys?



We basically spent Christmas Day on my husband's side of the family. My father and most of my brothers and sisters are in Quezon Province - with a signal 4 typhoon in Bicol and some parts of Quezon, hindi magandang idea ang magbyahe for a Christmas family reunion. Grabe manira ng holiday moment si #NinaPH no? But I'd like to let her be for a moment — for the only fact na there's a unique sense of happiness kasi when you stay and bond as a family at home during heavy rains and typhoons. Agree? I'm seriously praying para sa kaligtasan nating lahat though. So cheer up Philippines, wishing all of us a bright year ahead! =)

Anyway, bilang kaunting tumbling na lang at 2017 na... I'd like to post something to kinda remember what my 2016 was like. Hmmmm, to be honest mas maraming beses na gusto kong bumalik sa January 1, 2016 and start everything all over again. Ganyan akong tao in general eh. Hindi siguro halata pero when I'm expected to do something, binibigay ko talaga ang lahat. If I fail to deliver something that is expected from me, ibig sabihin hindi ko talaga sya ginawa EVER. I guess this is my weakness din for most of the time. I'm always afraid to commit mistakes pero gusto ko lahat ay kaya kong gawin ng perfect. Paano??!!! Maganda at seksi lang ako pero no body is perfect nga diba? Haha!

I may not like what my 2016 turned out pero mayroon din namang magagandang nangyari which I'm pretty sure will bring more good this 2017. Positive ako dyan mga besh because ang goal ko this coming year is to be more positive itself. Ganern!

Kung mayroon mang words to describe kung anong mga nangyari sa akin (sa amin) this year; that will be CHOICE and SACRIFICE. I think ang highlight ng year namin is yung aksidente ni Papa Prinz followed by similar unfortunate events which I made kwento ng slight here.

Well, everything turned out right din naman before the year ends kasi kasabay ng pagaling ni Papey Prinz is a NEW job which is definitely better than his previous one. Ako naman, after loosing a major client in Upwork, I found new clients which helped us get by habang naka-hold ang milyones ng asawa ko when he officially resign sa previous employer nya. I eventually got an offer for a full-time job with an Australian company pero I chose to decline because we're planning to enroll na rin si Caylee sa school next year. My husband agrees naman that I should take it slow lang dahil gusto na rin naming magka-baby next year. Hehe

To end this post, I'll leave you guys this super nice quote from White Collar - maybe something to ponder as you make your New Year's Resolution for 2017.

http://www.whitecollarlexicon.com/as_you_were_quotes.html

Stay sane loves,

Nakita nyo na ba the latest episode of The Walking Dead? Nakakaloka no?! Pero I loved it. The idea of Rick's group being back in the game makes me sooooo excited to watch the next episodes. Too bad next year pa sya ulit =((

Anyway, mas nakakaloka na ilang kembot na lang at Pasko na. Ambilis! Kung sana hindi kami broke LOL. Paano kasi, Prinz got accepted on his new job earlier than we expected. Yung supposedly sweldo nya last month and all his other payment including his 13th month pay was put on hold by his previous employer. #tough I think mga 30-60 days ang release ng back pay when you resign ano? I'm not sure but we're praying na they will release it bago kami magdildil ng asin mag Christmas. His first sahod on the new company naman will be on the 30th pa. Wala na sigurong mas bo-broke pa sa amin. Haha

Mabuti na lang talaga... and well, ito rin yung mga panahon na nagpapasalamat ako at may mga raket ako sa Upwork. Masarap sa pakiramdam na nakakatulong ako sa asawa ko kahit papaano. I remember tuloy our wedding vows nung 2010. Etong eto na yun mga bakla eh - for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer. Hehe

Sus, alam ko naman na lilipas din ang pasko pagsubok na ito. We've been into much worse situations. KAMI pa! =)


Stay sane loves,

67 KILOS

That's how weighty my problem is nowadays. Ambigat bes. Ambigat ng TIMBANG ko!

Feeling ko talaga konting lafang na lang at magkasinglaki na kami ng asawa ko.

I KENNAT!



I can throw all the blames sa pagbabalik ng aking polycystic ovaries pero hindi nito maitatago ang katotohanan na malapit na ang pasko...

kaya next year na lang ako magda-diet. Hahahahahahaha!

Anyway, I told here how I lost one of my major Upwork clients because of some unfortunate turn of events. I was so depressed for the past few weeks dahil dyan. That client was the one who's giving me steady income eh. Ang siste pa, hindi ako matanggap sa iba kong job applications because I have too many open projects listed on my profile. Akala nila I have talaga maraming work and imposibleng maasikaso ko the new ones that I'm applying to.

Pero ang totoo nyan, etong si Upwork, they just pause contracts na walang activity for long period of time. Meaning you can't do anything beneficial unless i-continue ulit ni client ang contract or totally terminate it so it won't show again on your profile. Sa awa ni Mariang Sinukuan  —  hindi ko mahagilap ang mga tinamaan ng magaling na mga kliyente ko. LOL


I ended some of the said contracts myself kahit alam kong it's a sure way of tainting my Top Rated Freelancer status. Kapit sa patalim bes. I cannot not work eh. Hindi rin ako mapakali pag wala akong sariling pera. Alam nyo yung ganung feeling?

Last week finally, nahabag si Mariang Sinukuan sa akin and I got accepted for a couple of small projects. I also got a full time offer for an Australian company. Ngiting tagumpay bes. :D




Stay Sane,

Nakita nyo ba si SuperMoon last night?



It was sooooo beautiful ano?



Here's how it looked like right across our internet cable. Lol



Maswerte are those na nasa lugar na hindi masyadong covered ng clouds. Sa amin sa Marikina Heights, mukhang nag-meeting pa ang mga clouds to form themselves like this:

I told HERE how I confirmed na meron na naman akong polycystic ovaries. Yes, after three years and (thankfully) one child, my hormones and ovaries are apparently at war again. Kung eto ang culprit why I'm back to being my old abnormal self, sana may mag-explain kay Papa Prinz. LOL. You see, when the one responsible for signaling messages to your body (and to your brain) messes up...

Hindi sya cool.


I had to take some pills so Aunt Flo would pay me a visit again. Dapat lang no. Those pills cost a fortune already considering na yung ibang mga babae hate na hate ang regla days. Ang unfair lang minsan ng buhay. :(

Anyway, have you guys watched Netflix's Narcos? I just started watching it mid last week and finished all season (1 & 2) in the same week. Adik lang. Haha. I sure gone pretty steady crazy  since finding my political self. Mas maigi na ito kesa makipagbaka sa hormones ko I think. =))

Speaking of my hormones, sinusulat ko talaga ang blog post na ito at this very wee hour because I find it hard to sleep these days. Maybe my hormones. Maybe because of the pills I've been taking lately. This reminds me na kailangan ko na namang baguhin ang lifestyle ko  which is basically family and my work online. I just realized that I had a lot of work stuff on my plate this year. Too much work and family don't go along well together. Agree? I derpor konklud na magpapaka donya muna ako next year. Charot! Kidding aside, Caylee will start school na din next  year na eh, but hopefully maipasok din namin sya sa enrichment school before that. I'm torn between Kumon and Eye Level. Any suggestions?


Stay Sane ,

I mentioned HERE na nag-apply ako for Postal ID dito sa Marikina last August. I already got my ID nung September pa pero ngayon ko lang gagawan ng separate post how I applied for it because (just because). Hehe.



I bet you already know na pwede na ngayong i-submit as primary ID ang new and improved Postal ID sa pagkuha ng Passport. READ THE NEWS HERE. Bongga no?

So, if you're interested to know how I applied for the said ID, read on!

First, here are the requirements from PHLPOST website. Click to enlarge image.



There is a different set of requirements for foreign applicants so make sure to READ HERE for full details.

I wasn't able to download the necessary forms so hiningi ko na lang yan sa staff ng Marikina Post Office when I arrived there. You can download the forms HERE if you wish to. After filling up the forms, I submitted it together with my original (and xerox copies) NSO-issued birth certificate, marriage license and barangay certificate. Scan the requirements so you'll know kung ano ang meron at wala kayo, but basically 3 requirement items lang yan.

HOW MUCH? Here's the amount from PHLPOST website:














I paid the same exact amount. If sobra dyan ang siningil sa inyo, isumbong nyo kay Duterte. Charot.

After checking your requirements, the post office staff will usher you to their ID capture area for photo and biometric chenes. Marikina Post Office is included on the 200+ ID capture stations. Check HERE if kasali your area. TIP: Wag kang mahiyang humingi ng time para magsuklay o magpulbos kung medyo hagardo verzosa ka na. :p

Your ID will be delivered to your doorstep within 10-15 days kung Metro Manila while it will take 15-20 days naman on provincial locations. This ID is valid for 3 years.


Hope this helps,

Yes, my recent transvaginal ultrasound just confirmed na I have polycystic ovaries na naman. =((

Anyway, a bit of back story: I wasn't very concern with my irregular menses when I was younger lalo pa at nakakatipid ako from buying menstrual pads. When I got married in 2010, wapakels pa rin ako sa schedule ni Aunt Flo. I'm not sure kung ano tawag nun here in Manila but there was this term - 'naglalayag' sa amin sa Quezon. All along akala ko mahilig lang talaga mag-travel ang period ko. LOL

Then the irregularity of my monthly period went from a couple of weeks to a couple of months. That was the time din na medyo nagpaplano na kami ni Papa Prinz na magka-baby. Syempre we consulted an OB-Gyn kaagad because mahirap makipag patintero sa monthly cycles ko while trying to have a baby.

Then I discovered na meron pala akong polycystic ovaries. My OB described it in layman terms as parang pimples sa ovaries. Oooops, sereee TMI. :)) Basta kung anuman yun, it messes up with my hormones kaya hindi maka-function ng maayos ang mga ovaries ko. Ganern!

Anyway, fast forward natin ng konte: I was so happy and thankful nung nabuntis ako nung 2012 despite having polycystic ovaries and a little treatment. Hindi makapaniwala ang OB ko because meron daw syang PCO/PCOS patient na hirap talagang makabuo naturally and opted for a more expensive option like In vitro fertilization (IVF). Naisip ko din yan actually dati with all my emote at feeling ko noon I am so worthless as a woman. Kaya naman every time I look at Caylee now, sobrang proud and happy and thankful talaga ako dahil alam kong blessing talaga sya ni God sa amin. =)

So many great and wonderful things happened since I've became a mother. Kamuntik ko nang makalimutan ang nakaraan ko nung isa pa akong sawing babae na may polycystic ovaries. I already sensed some familiar hormonal imbalances during the past months. Weird cravings, disgusting body acne, abnormal hair growth...

Tapos narinig ko si Celine Dion sa background:



Round 2: Me vs PCOS but I'll make sure that I'll be winning again this time. Wish me luck guys!



Happy Halloween,

Riding the bandwagon dahil bored ako today.  #psychopath #agotisidro

Hanep sa blog post title eh no? Bored lang pala. HAHA

Kidding aside, motherhood changed me into baliw levels minsan. One epic example is my absurd fear of  death. Takot din naman akong mamatay dati pa (sino ba namang hindi?!) pero parang hindi naman kasali ang pagtawid sa pedestrian lane sa ultimate check list ko ng death alerts nung dalaga pa ako. Ako lang ba? Let me know kung takot din kayong tumawid sa pedestrian lane ha. =))

Okay going back to my topic:

Honestly speaking, I can't blame Ms. Agot for the psycho statement dahil kahit ako, naisip ko rin yan. The only difference is I've never publicly shared that equally crazy idea that time (dahil hello leader lang naman kaya sya ng bansa natin). What I did was research pa more kung ano ba ang pinaghuhugutan ng mga actions nya towards USA and European Union and today I'm going to share with you some of the interesting angle na napagalaman ko.

Una, according sa data ng World Bank nung 2014, 0.2% lang ng Gross National Income ng Philippines ang  Official Development Assistance (ODA) or foreign aid ang natanggap ng ating bansa READ HERE. Malamang dyan nanggaling ang #hugot ng pangulo na crumbs o mumo lang daw ang ibinibigay na tulong sa atin. Pero dahil kasali din ang foreign output sa GNI ng isang bansa, nami-mislead ang mga tao na baka maapektuhan din ang ating economy because of what the president said. Well, ang tulong ay tulong ang business ay business. Ganern!
Also, I've learned that this eksena - Duterte making away the USA and EU can be part of his foreign policy doctrine o yung plans and strategies nya with our international relations. Syempre wala namang leader ang magdi-discuss ng mga ganitong chenes openly right? Parang 'plastikan' at 'pa-waisan' in real life pero ibang usapan when you have a nation to protect. Ganern ulit!

So eto na!!! Here are the details about sa interpretation ng ilang international relations at political experts sa mga pinaggagagawa ni Duterte sa buhay nya bilang isang pangulo ng Pilipinas:

Delimitation 

This is to establish limits of whatever supreme power or authority (aka sovereignty) na meron ang USA sa atin lalo na sa ating mga karagatan) READ HERE. The mura and the pagpapabebe sa 'aid' na mula sa mga kano is a form of swaggering. Ang baduy nyan sa kanto at sa tindahan ni Aleng Nena pero in international politics, it's one way of showing political force. Wala tayong magaganda at malalakas na armas kaya idaan antin sa psychological strategy.

Detente

Para kumalma ang ibang mga bansa na merong problema sa bansa natin (katulad ng China). This is easing of geo political tensions. Sipsip sipsip din pag may time. LOL. Oo nga naman, mas madali at mas maganda itong strategy kesa hayaan ang ibang bansa na gawin tayong parang battleground diba? Ang taray pa nga ng statement ng pangulo dyan diba: "Do not treat us like a doormat, you’ll be sorry for it"

Diversification

Ang parang marketing strategy ng ating gobyerno para mag introduce ng ibang eksena sa ating economy. Yes, USA has the largest Gross Domestic Product value READ HERE pero let's not close our doors to other countries as well shall we?

To end this post, I will conclude na nakakaloka pala talaga ang politics mga amiga!  Pero Duterte, whatever his flaws, sya lang ang nakitaan ko ng may pinakamalinis na intension to serve our country. Patriot kung patriot ang lolo mo eh. I'm sure iyan din mismo ang nakita ng milyong milyong Pilipino na bumoto sa kanya. If the International Criminal Court charges against him will push trough paano na ang pagbabagong unti unti na nating nararamdaman? Hindi lang kasi ito ma-hype ng ating mainstream media dahil naka focus sila sa EJK/DDS anek, pagmumura at Hitler remarks ni Duterte.

• Executive Order on FOI (Freedom of Information)
• Peace Talks with the CCP-NPA-NDF
• Tanim Bala sa NAIA
• Hotline 911 8888
• ONE-STOP Service Center for OFWs
• Hacienda Luisita distribution
• 50% Crime Rate reduction
• Faster processing of government papers etc

Ilan lang yan sa mga nagawa o naaksyunan ng pangulo in his first 100 Days. Tapos ang mababasa mong headline on international news: At least 3,600 slaughtered’ in Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte’s first 100 days in office". Hala sya, wag naman sanang ganun. Diosmio! Kaya ako, bilang nanay ni Caylee gusto kong patuloy na maranansan ng anak ko ang mga pagbabagong hatid ng administrasyog Duterte. I will never stop praying na matapos nya kung anuman ang nasimulan nya dahil alam kong makakabuti ito for our next generations.

At yan talaga ang konek ng maarteng pamagat ng post ko today. :D

I'm educating myself in my own little ways. Most of my information are from the generosity of Sass Rogando Sasot - a transpinay based in The Hague and the first Filipino to receive the ECHO Award, given annually to excellent migrant students in academic and higher professional education in The Netherlands. She is studying at Leiden University, pursuing an MA in International Relations, working on a thesis on how a systemic change led to the rivalry of the coastal States of the South China Sea. She is selflessly sharing her time and knowledge at https://www.facebook.com/forthemotherlandph/

I know! October 4 na. Duh!!! Yaan nyo na. October is still October and I'm sooooooo claiming that this month will be super fab for me. :D  *crossing fingers, legs and eyes   LOL

My gee, feeling ko September  was not really my month dahil ang daming unfavorable events na nangyari.

Lemme share them here:

First, I'm suspecting na meron na naman akong PCOS (Polycystic ovary syndrome) dahil until now hindi pa ako binibisita ni Aunt Flo. Susme, July pa talaga ako huling nagkaregla eh. :(

Second, Papey Prinz had a really bad fall, broke his arm and had a minor operation. FX 3rd RADIUS CLOSED COMPLEX achuchuchu. Parang ganyan ang operation procedure na ginawa sa kanya. Halos 5 days din syang na-confine  sa hospital because of that.

Third, because of that accident medyo nagka delays ako sa online gigs ko and lost one of my contracts. Huhu


Lastly, dahil ulit sa accident, Caylee is now officially WEANED. Weaned as in nabutaw, naawat or hindi na sya dumedede sa akin at all. :((  I know dapat masaya ako dahil medyo matagal ko na rin namang pinaplano to, pero all along - AKO PALA YUNG HINDI PA READY. WAAAAHHHH!!!!

But yun nga, despite of these 'unfortunate events', I'm still positive na mag-iiba ang ihip ng hangin this October. Nemen-berdey-keh-neh-keyeh sa Friday :p Hahahahaha

To end this post, I'll share with you one of my favorite life quotes:

"Even if you fall on your face, you're still moving forward" - Victor Kiam

I've been trying to reconnect with my friends for the past couple of days. I'm making bawi because I've been a very, very negligent friend since I've became a mom.

Everyone meet Mean and Mich:



Nonetheless, I'm happy because nagkita ulit kami after a very long time. The last time we met kasi she's still dalaga pa and still studying her university degree. Although I admit it's a bit awkward din, because I feel na kahit gaano pa kami ka-close during high school, sa sobrang tagal na hindi kami nagkita parang naging strangers na rin kami sa isa't isa. Soooo weird!!! I think that's the very reason why you should A L W A Y S try to reconnect with your friends na matagal mo nang hindi nakakasama. I'm not sure sa ibang case ha, pero I just start to realize na when you become a mom, parang kahit hindi mo sinasadya, it's so easy to let a friendship to slowly drift away eh. Hindi sya cool. Do you agree?

Also, I just found an old friend on Facebook. Yes, FB! I love you again FB! I literally can't believe my eyes when I made kalkal my some sort of memory box, and found this 16-year old snail mail.


I swear, it brought back sooooo many memories. I'm super happy dahil kahit ilang beses na akong nag relocate, binaha, binagyo naitago ko pa pala to. =) Syempre I messaged her agad. Ang funny pa nga kasi she looks so different from what I remember (or talagang I'm not good at remembering faces), and medyo nag worry ako na baka isipin nya na stalker, scammer or baliw ako. Hahahahaha! Pero ayun, she confirmed naman that she was trying to find me online too and everything. I really hope to see her again (or be friends with her again rather), because parang sa case ni Honey medyo awkward and parang technically strangers na din kami dahil sa tagal naming hindi nagkita ulit. I think we just need more time and communication to work it out. =)

Lastly, I wasn't very successful in getting back in touch with my City friends (because I met them here in the metro that's why, haha) but I do hope that we'll meet again soon dahil kung may mga kaibigan na nakakakilala talaga sakin from head to foot eh sila na yun. I don't know how we ended up not having constant communication nowadays. Literal na hindi kami mapaghihiwalay when we were in our 20+'s eh. Well, for one thing siguro dahil sa isang office lang naman ang work namin dati. Now kasi most of them are still single pa and have different careers na. Hayyy. Maybe it's my hormones pero these are the times that I feel that the friendship is slowly drifting away ng hindi ko namamalayan. Geezzz, this feels like very adulting and adulting is very hard. Lels.

marriage, work, family... time flies without me knowing that I've became more and more UNAVAILABLE. My goal is to enrich my life by not letting life itself interrupt my relationship with my friends. I hope to make them a priority too.

Obviously, this post is scheduled nung Monday pa sana, but you know, same-same, life got sooooooooo busy. #majorboo 

Okay, I'll start with this fulfilling but really sad kwento: One of my largest projects on Upwork just ended recently. And by large, I'm talking about 6 digits. Not to brag or anything pero VAs or Virtual Assistants like me rarely earn that much eh. Until now may sepanx (separation anxiety) pa nga ako. Huhu.




Pero I'm proud to share din na at the same time, because of this project, I was able to buy myself a new computer chair (which is super duper comfy!), a brand new mid-range Samsung phone (may iwawala na ulit ako hehe), a new premium Uratex queen size foam (because naghihingalo na the regular Salem mattress that we bought few years ago) and two new Uratex Airlite pillows (straight from their Marikina branch). I've been meaning to buy those things for the longest time kaya reward kung reward myself ang peg ko every paycheck. Haha. Also, I was able to help din the husband in paying our bills and groceries and send enough money for my father back in Quezon province. To say that I love being a WAHM (work at home mom) is really an understatement. Thank you Lord for all these blessings. =)

Sana I can get huge projects pa more like this para matupad na ang ultimate dream ko na makapag honeymoon kami ni Papey Prinz sa Bali Indonesia. Lels.


Anyway, grabe the Airlite pillows from Uratex. I've never imagined myself sleeping in 1k+ worth of pillow! Hello, lalawayan ko lang naman yan.

Hahahahaha!

But you know what, it's worth it. Naniniwala kasi ako na you should invest din on things that you literally can't live without, and sleep is basically one of them. Medyo nakakahiya naman sa mga taong natutulog with barely nothing sa kalsada pero ganun talaga. I think pagkatapos ng lahat ng pagod at puyat namin ng asawa ko to be able to live comfortably and help our loved ones at the same time, we truly deserve those pillows. Deserve na deserve ko yun with all my laway glory.

Nyahahahahahaha!

Yes, I had to put smiley sticker to cover the kalat on my working nook. :p

I think that would be all for this post.
Happy mid-week!

Emegerd! Kaunting-kaunting kembot na lang talaga at September na. Are you guys excited? Oh, come on! Don't think about the gastos. Think about that beautiful and calm feeling you get when it's the time of the year again here in the Philippines. =) #christmasfeels

Anyway, I am so excited to announce na may brand new ATM card na ako from BPI. Haha.

Nakakaawa na kasi talaga yung dati kong ATM eh.

Scotch Tape na lang ang tanging bumubuhay sa kanya. :p

Good thing that BPI Bayan Bayanan didn't required me to surrender my old card. Six years na rin ang samahan namin at napamahal na rin sya sakin eh. Hehe. Also, that's another purpose din pala of JAI (Joint Account Indicator) na nasa tapat ng name mo in your ATM card. My old card was 1 and now obviously it's 2. I'm always curious about that every time ini-enroll ko my account number on online transactions eh. Shori na I'm shonga. =))

One of the main reasons why I don't make babad on Facebook (which is the only social media account I have) is its inevitable upshot to make me U N H A P P Y. There I said it, magtapatan na tayo dito. :p

Don't get me wrong though. Syempre masaya ako stalking reading updates from my friends and relatives. The drama starts when the 'keeping-up-with-the-joneses' effect kicks in. Madali kasi ako maawa sa sarili ko eh. At dahil alam ko naman na hindi yun cool, I try to stay out of social media as much as possible.

But the most effective way for me to snap out of it is this:


When I count my blessings, sunod na dyan ang pag-apreciate ko even the simplest things. I always keep this in mind: yung mga bagay na meron ako, nilalakad pa paluhod sa Quiapo ng iba. Yung iba nga na-deads na at lahat hindi pa rin na-experience the things that I may be taking for granted eh. I know that sounds a bit morbid, pero yung fact na buhay pa ako is napakalaking blessing na right?

Kaya when I say that I count my blessings, I always make sure to include even the smallest ones. After all, the most beautiful things often come in simplest forms.

Pak ganern!


Happy Monday,

I don't know about your home guys pero dito sa bahay uso ang ubo, sipon at trangkaso. Rainy season na naman kasi eh no? Imortal na yata ako because pag mga ganyang epedemic levels na hindi talaga ako tinatablan. Thank you Lord pero I always say na ako na lang sana instead of Caylee. =( Mabuti na lang talaga at mabilis maka-recover sa sakit ang bagets.

Anyway, yesterday we went to Marikina Heights barangay office to get a barangay clearance. I need it para makakuha ng Postal ID which is a valid government ID. Nawawala kasi yung kaisa-isang valid ID (SSS) ko and you know naman how important it is na meron dapat tayong pagkakakilanlan na mula sa ahensya ng gobyerno right? *ni-deep tagalog ko para lang hindi ko ulit-ulitin ang salitang 'valid id'. Haha

Eto kaming mag-ina doing our signature OOTD pose. Hanep!



While here's naman my mag-ama on their usual kulitan.



Caylee is such a daddy's girl talaga. Ang sarap nilang tingnan mag-ama pag nagkukulitan. =)

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get a barangay clearance kasi wala pa pala kami sa census data ng Marikina. We just moved in last year eh. I was like 'okay' and then left. Saka ko lang na-realized na dapat pala sinabi ko na nakakuha na ako dati ng barangay clearance na ginamit ko naman nung bumoto ako sa Marikina mismo! Kaloka! Kinakalawang na talaga yata ang utak ko. =))

After that, we went straight ahead na to BPI Bayan-Bayanan to get me an ATM card replacement. Six years na kasi talaga sya eh. Funny because pagdating ko doon pinaderecho na ako ni kuyang guard sa customer service area. May around 6-8 people na there. I thought it was an honest pila so umupo na lang ako bandang dulo sa tabi nila. After mga 5 minutes, one of the BPI staff begun calling names from what seemed to be a log book so sinulat ko yung name ko dun. Nagulat ako because nagsunuran sakin yung ibang tao dun to write their names also. So ang lagay mauuna pa ako sa kanila! No one bothered naman to accused me na sumisingit sa pila or anything. Ang tagal pa naman nung concern nung iba. Well, I considered it luck na lang since minalas nga ako sa pagkuha ng barangay clearance. Lol



Happy mid-week,

happy birthday to you ♫ happy birthday to you ♫ happy birthday ♫ happy birthday ♫ HAPPY happy birthday to you ♫

HAPPY 1 YEAR BLOG!!! :)

Hanep! Ang drama ng title ng post ko ngayon dahil break na kami ni Luis Manzano.

Charrr!

This post has been sitting on my drafts for like, two weeks na yata? Sumikat at nalaos na lang ulit si #jessymendiola. Kalerks!

PEACE sa mga fans ni Jessy M. :D

Coincidentally though, nag-break na rin yung isa sa mga friends ko at yung boyfriend nya. They have been together for quite a while na rin. Maybe three years or so. I'm not so sure. I admit, at first akala ko they are not going to last that long. Judgemental ako minsan eh. :p But I witnessed how beautiful their love story was. Sobrang sweet nila towards each other and they made sure to invest time on their relationship — they dine together, watch movies together, travel together...

They were like the ultimate inseparable! Minsan nakaka-umay nakaka-inggit na rin ang mga post nila sa FB! Haha

Eto na, things gone wrong when 'some girl' came into the picture. Ito talaga ang ugat ng lahat at hindi ang droga at korupsyon eh. Lels. And yun na, all of a sudden warla na silang dalawa. Fight kung fight. Parang walang bahid ng tamis ng pag-ibig ng nakaraan. Ganown!

Nakaka-sad lang.

Pero ganun talaga...



Oh-ha, may pa-quotable quotes pa daw ako kunyare. Hehe

Oh well, I can't say much about what happened to either Angel Locsin/Luis Manzano or my friend's failed romances. Lalo pa at sa FB ko lang naman talaga nalaman ang lahat. Lol. I just wish them speedy healing and mighty strength para makapag move on ng matiwasay. =)

Also, wala akong maii-share na personal heartbreak story. I always wonder how it REALLY feels like . NOT naman that I want it (I would never want it EVER!), I'm just curious how a person put himself together after a breakup. Meron kaya talagang babangon-ako-at-dudurugin-kitang mga paandar?

I know! Basically ni-chismis ko lang ang love story ng friend ko ditey.

Eh-di sereeh nemen! :)



Kapit lang sa ♥

Sobrang kamote lang how I almost lost my phone one day and then totally lost it the next. Ako na, ako na talaga bukod tanging burara! Lels

Pero sa kabila ng lahat, nakapag decide na ako na mag move on.

As in I'm completely over it now.

Pramis!

Syempre wala ng dahilan para i-prolong ko pa ang pag-iinarte ko because I've bought myself Papey Prinz bought me this baby:

Nikon D3300    photo from digitalcamerareview.com

PLEASE DON'T JUDGE.

I was about to buy it for myself instead of a new phone sana. Baka kasi isipin nyo na wala na akong ginawa kundi magpabebe sa asawa ko. Nyahahaha!

And besides, bago ako napapayag (kunwari napilitan lang ako) na bumili nito ay nagbaliw-baliwan muna ako, nag meditate sa tuktok ng timbuktu at hindi naligo ng tatlong araw (char!)

No, seriously though, I've been contemplating because it's almost double the cost of my Asus phone. Technically eto nga ang highest purchase in my life ever eh. Pero nawalan nga ako diba? I should be making tipid to death. Hindi lang halata pero financially sensible din naman ako paminsan-minsan. :p

Also, naisip ko rin na bakit nga yung mga babaeng kangaroo tatlo ang vajayjay? Not that I want that for myself too (nakakaloka yun!), pero matagal ko na rin namang gustong magkaroon ng maayos na DSLR camera. I've been wanting to buy one since I gave birth to Caylee. A camera that will nicely capture my our experiences in life. It's not being too much. It's spending my money on things that can help preserve special and precious memories.  =)

At saka 'wag nga kayo!
Wala pa rin kaya akong cellphone until now.
Hindi din ako nagpo-post ng picture na may nakasabit na camera sa leeg ko. :p  #sakanapagpronaako

Yun lang, nothing can stop me from posting pictures taken by my Nikon D3300.

Oh yeahhh!






Snap away,

Hello there!

Akalain nyo Friday na ulet?! Majority of working in the corporate world are rejoicing today dahil weekend na naman bukas and it only means na may time na naman for full rest, gimik, lakwatsa, movie/teleserye/tv show marathon or anything that they can freely do with all their heart's content.

SANA AKO DIN :|    Lels

I was supposed to be working this evening till dawn pero dahil nitetemed ako magkwentuhan na lang tayo. Hehe


Tawang tawa sakin ang asawa ko at mga tao dito sa bahay dahil akala nila kung anong libro ang ni-order ko online sa National Bookstore. Grabe sila oh! Masama mag feeling bagets? Haha

I don't know but there's something about Jadine na super like ko. I think I found out sa book why - they both love to play video games pala! Nadine's favorite is Assassin's Creed and I remember na pinagpupuyatan din namin yan ng asawa ko dati nung wala pa kaming anak!

O edi kami na, kami na talaga feeling Jadine :p

No, seriously I like celebrities na hindi pa-artista and I can feel in my heart na Jadine is one of them. =)

GAME OF THRONES
We weren't able to watch the recent episode until last night and boy, I felt so annoyed with John Snow! I mean, seriously??? Diba? If it wasn't for Davos patay na naman sana sya. At idadamay nya pa the rest of his army. Kaloka!

O edi ako na, ako na dalang dala. :p



CAYLEE'S 3RD BIRTHDAY
OMG! I'm pretty sure na kumendeng lang ako tapos meron na pala akong 3-year old in a couple of days??!! Anong klaseng kapangyarihan yun?! Hehe


I'm still thinking pa kung anon gagawin namin for her birthday pero for sure  it will be EVERYTHING SHE REALLY REALLY LIKES. Hopefully maging tradition na yan every year dahil marunong na syang mag appreciate even mga simple things. =)

BLOG REVAMP
I'm planning to give this blog a new look sooner. I know this blog is not a 'stats superstar' pero I'm actually very proud na malapit na akong mag one year. Wooooohoooooo!!! I mentioned on my first post na I will try na mag blog regularly pero you know, things happen... pero believe me, mas updated pa itong blog ko kesa sa ibang social media accounts ko which is FB lang naman. Haha

I think eto na lang muna for now. See you again next time.

Cheers
