Missing my co-SFC

Manji just emailed me our pictures from her birthday celebration last night.. Abbie and I went to her house after a siesta window-shopping @ SM yesterday, oh boy, seems like I bought a lot of shopping bags with me, with all items on sale?geez i wanted to buy it all..wish i could
Anyway, we got there late, as usual(that's my trademark i guess..hehe), and when I stepped in to their living room, I was so surprised to see some of my co-SFC!! they're all there, having their service team meeting, since CLP just started last sunday, and thank God, they have 23 participants!..

Have you noticed how big I am with this pics???grrrr

Is Happiness Expensive?

Is Happiness Expensive?



People think that happiness is expensive. If you look at the list
below, they seem to be right!

Buffet lunch at Shangri-La Hotel P800++
Wearing a pair of Ferragamo shoes P12,000++
Driving, or being driven, in a 1999 Mercedes Benz P3 million
Lying beside a pool in cool Polo shorts P2,500
Checking the time in a Rolex P300,000
Malling in a Lacoste shirt P3,500
Seeing the glint of a one karat diamond ring (average) P100,000+
Walking in a party in an elegant Armani suit P50,000
Watching a movie in a VCD Player P20,000
Cuddling up in a Marks and Spencers pajamas P2,400
Daubing the scent of Estee Lauder perfume, small P2,000
Traveling in 'business class' instead of 'tourist' (U.S. trip) $2,000



There are people I know who don't think that happiness is expensive.
But what they do is awesomely enriching. For them, happiness means:

Being quiet in prayer for 10 minutes each morning P0.00
Giving a glass of water to the postman and garbage collector P0.00
Laughing with friends P0.00
Calling up my mother and telling her I miss her P0.00
Reading a good book. (Borrow one!) P0.00
Visiting an Elderly Home and listening to the stories of lola P50.00
Taking a quiet walk with a loved one and holding hands P0.00
Choosing to sleep-in until 10:00am one Saturday morning P0.00
Cooking popcorn and holding a songfest with the kids P50.00
Giving roses to a friend (from the market) with an original poem P35.00
and lists goes on and on........


This is just a forwarded email to a yahoogroup im subscribed at..
For me, happiness isnt has to be expensive, like you dont have to spend too much on something. Like anyone else here, im a soft-hearted person, just a text from a friend a day or receiving a call from Dave, it already makes my day. Knowing all the people you love are safe and just doing fine, then im happy. Of course, who doesnt want cool pricey things, everyone wants it, but do we need it?

im happy with simple things, expensive things just make your life complicated.
Im happy with just a thought that there's a special person who loves me with all his heart, just hearing him say he loves me is enough for me to wear that smile all day..
**mush**mush**

things im currently busy about

1. My dear fiance and I are holding an engagement party on Nov. 11th, and since im the one who's in the Philippines, im in charge of organizing the party's major details. We already booked a private resort for the venue, my problem now?? invitations... im looking for the best one in the row,im not in the hurry though but we have to send it out first week of October.

I have all the requirements needed for admission, a college entrance is next.. im scheduling it this week! by the way, im goin to take |"Dental Hygiene" course @Perps., a medical university where by sister who's a registered nurse now came from. This is my 2nd course btw.

May I find comfort here?

spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always one reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight

in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there

so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees

in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here

Goodbye Uncle Eddie

Goodbye Uncle Eddie...



my dear uncle Eddie has just buried today.. we're not really that close but he's a nice person not only to me but to everyone too. He's a man of laughter, you rarely can see him with a problematic face, you know why? because he knows how to manage all those.. His death is unexpected, the family are shocked when we found out that he met an accident at work.. He then was rushed to PGH Manila, which I regret why we rushed him there, the place only accelerated his death.. I hate PGH's Emergency room!!!! especially the doctors and the nurses. My uncle fought for his life, I knew he doesnt want to go yet, but that's life, and God's will.

I know wherever he is right now, he's happy. May God bless his soul.

all bruised up

let's just say it's a bad day for me. You know how I got this? from carwashing! I was trying to reach this rear end of the tire's hood (I dont know how you call it), the next thing I know I already have this violet thing on my arm.

I need to...

I need to....




change my template.. im bored with brown and black.. you know what's the worst thing is? actually im bored with my life right now.. wahhhhhhhhh

Jhosvaire Jamz

JHOSVAIRE JAMZ


This are my group of friends back in highschool, we are called Jhosvaire Jamz, with all our names'initials are on it. Comprised of 12 people, but later we became 13, namely; Rangel, Aldo, Archie, Jose, Christian, Richard, Julius, Jemimah, Rachiel, Shiela, Vanessa Joy, Chingbee, and me.. And last July 22nd, we hold our very 1st reunion after 11years!!! I really miss this guys so much. .I get to see some of them before but we never had the chance to organize a reunion since some of them went migrated abroad already, and some are really out of touch. Jemimah lives in California, while Rachiel settled in Australia, Richard's in Korea and Christian's working in Kuwait, see how hard it would be to get them all in one date? But when we learnt that Rachiel's going home to get her kids, she requested to see us. And so, Jhoy and I called and text everyone to block off that July 22nd for the reunion, we even went house to house just to make sure everyone would come. I was so happy to see 8 of them that night, here's some pics I took, while some of them aren't drunk yet ha ha ha ha..

~*Rangel, Julius, Archie*~

~*Chingbee, me, Jhoy*~

~*me, Jhoy, Chingbee*~

~*Rangel & Julius*~

~*me & Shiela*~

~*Chingbee & Ching*~

What a night, I went home at 4am!! Hope we can do this again.. hopefully this coming December, this time with Jemimah and Ching promised to fly back just for that day.. wish I could introduce my honey to them too.. *sigh* I miss him

Flowers from Iraq




Im so happy today,I got a vase of fresh flowers from my hubby, it's so lovely, heart-touching flowers from him..love you daddy!hehehe Im just a bit confused bout how it'was arranged.. I wonder how much it costs him to send this through a local www.funflowers.com but of 1-800-something worlwide..


read on that sweet lines

Don't cha wish your man is as sweet like him???

updates

....updates



as for the JOB im looking for? hehe im still jobless, even if someone offer me one right now, Im not sure if ill take it, see I only have a month and a half to work, 'cause i have to prepare my school records and enroll by October.. Im goin to take "Dental Hygiene", a two year-course, pre-dental one.. this would be my 2nd course after I took Business Management.Im excited already.. What i am not sure of is that, if this program that i'll enrolling at will be credited once I get to US and practice there, 'cause from what I read online at www.adha.org that they might consider foreign students who studied abroad provided they will evaluate the units/subjects I took and if it doesnt conform with their program, they will advise students to further take additional subjects. They are quite strict with that. Then what if they dont recognize what the program I took here in the Philippines??? that's the problem! I have to take the whole course again there.. which I think would cost 5x the tuition fees here.. poor me.. oh not me.. poor Dave.. yeah, he's the one who's going to send me to school.. love you honey..hehehe.. Im excited to go back to school, but still, I really need to get a part-time job..oh man!

Is anyone here have gone through this situation? you studied here, and practice or work in US?share the experience will ya

oh, my sisters and I just watched AntBully yesterday! It was fun way to bond with my sisses, did I mention to you that I still have a 3year-old sister?yeah, with her age I know you'd say she could be my child..what should you do if you have parents that still practice sex? ewwwww dont want to talk about it..gross huh?... we went to Alabang Town Center (my favorite place), window shopping, movie, and ate out at Gerry's Grill ...

the food was great especially the Pork Sisig..


but hell, the service???? dissatisfied the sisig was served after 15minutes, but the rice??it took them a long 30minutes with just 4cup of rice.. I was really pissed off, waiting is a big deal for me when it comes to food, grrrr especially if im starving already!!! you know what I did? no tip for the waiter...

I just changed my myspace layout again, this time to this Fast and the Furious's Tokyo Drift..Shame I haven't seen the movie yet, my fault, my butt's glued at home..quite a homebody huh?right.. anyway, for those who want to have that layout like mine , here's the script!!!! just a reminder people in copy-pasting codes, delete the div tags that you could see on the last part, that is if you dont want some extra ads hanging on your left or right layouts, as you can see on other's myspaces..

Im not sure if this works with Hi5 or friendster.

and my jobhunting never ends.......

and my jobhunting never ends...



ha, what a journey! I feel like my clock is ticking, i have to get a job within the month or else i would end up at my dad's office again, to which the labor is free wahhhhh... it's been a long month since i posted about me getting a job, look now im still here. Actually im torn of gettin one, for by October ill be going back to college again and earn Dentistry units, im goin to take "Dental Hygiene", a post degree course for two years, I should have thought of going back to school before since i had a lot of time,.. well, it's not too late though, but i wish to do a lot of things aside from studying.
Going back to my jobhunt story, im screwed! I think being a bum for months must have dragged my I.Q big time..would this explain why im being slow lately??lol i think this is what you get from bein a lazy turtle. I just had my job exam yesterday,and just realized i need mind exercises!geeez, i had a hard time on the first part of the exam but later got through with it and finished the five sets of diff exams all smoothly and on time.. but im not expecting if they'll hire me or what. Maybe my resume's already in the trash by now..lol.. I think i should get a sign "HIRE ME" and hang it on my neck so everyone would see, that i need a job badly. Oh crap, my doze of caffeine is kicking in again..

have you seen the latest in Iraq? pls pray for this people

my dead for a moment

cool people im still alive!, but my laptop's not, it's dead! wahhhhhhhh of all things, why my life?hu hu hu hu..ok the problem, the monitor's backlight's gone, as in i did everything i have to do, from settings and hp's troubleshoot thing, still, nada! my friend ella, a software engineer, told me to just bring to the nearest hp service center, i think she could help me if my laptop's brand is IBM, her's is. Im going to Makati maybe this week to inquire how much it would costs to repair it or worse, if i have to buy parts.. it's been gone for like 5days already, so thus my life is... i can still use my DSL (that works for a minute, and dead for the rest of the day) and that broken laptop, that is if i use flashlight, the room's light on and there's sunrays coming through my window! LOL, a big joke, but i did that for two days, cant help it,.. im online for like 14hours max/a day!oh YEAH i am.. those were the days... arghhhh, my Sims game too!! my music tripping and pictures editing,.. all gone, well for a moment,.. that, i dont know for how long,..so, im dead for a moment

oh my David's on Dubai right now, glad he got there safely,..not the praying and worrying doubles as he'll go back to his previous job, and stays there for 4months, and until i get to see him again,.. pretty long days and weeks, but i can do that, i can wait,.. as long as he's safe there, and me here. A lot of robbery's been going on our so-called safe and organized village in the south. My cousin and her friend were one of those victimized, while walking in an open space along the main busy road at 4 in the afternoon, there's three guys who walked with them and declared "holdup!", they took her friend's cellphone and a 7,000 cash in just seconds, with a gun and a pocketknife pointing at you, there's no way to negotiate, it's the cellphone or your life,.. so there, my cuz traumatized and is having sleepless nights.. geeez,, calling police here, act now!

Laugh Out Loud

my credits goes craft beader of GT, my jaws dropped from laughing! lol


A Woman's Secret .. and her Prayer


There was once a man and woman who had been married
for more than 60 years. They had shared everything.
They had talked about everything.


They had kept no secrets from each other except
that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of
her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to
open or ask her about.


For all of these years, he had never thought about
the box, but one day the little old woman got very
sick and the doctor said she would not recover....


In trying to sort out their affairs, the little
old man took down the shoe box and took it to his
wife's bedside. She agreed that it was time that he
should know what was in the box.


When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls
and a stack of money totaling $25,000. He asked her
about the contents.


"When we were to be married," she said, "my
grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage
was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got
angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a
doll."


The little old man was so moved; he had to fight
back tears. Only two precious dolls were in the box.
She had only been angry with him two times in all
those years of living and loving. He almost burst
with happiness......


"Honey," he said, "that explains the dolls, but what
about all of this money? Where did it come from?"
"Oh," she said, "that's the money I made from
selling all the dolls..."
Women will love this...............



A Prayer.

Dear God, I pray for :

Wisdom to understand my man;
Love to forgive him;
And Patience for his moods;
because God, if I pray for Strength,
I'll beat him to death

Mother's day is McDonald's day

Happy Mothers' Day to all mommies out there! this is my beloved mum, our sibs' buddy.. people call her Tita Regie she got that name back when we still have our canteen. (fyi: we call elder women like that of my mom's age "Tita", that's how we address elder people, related or not, with respect here, "Tito" for male)She cooks very well, that in a short period of time, she already have regular customers who always look for her cooked meals. Especially her best tasting "Pork Adobo", no one can beat her with that,not even me... Id say mom's a very patient mother, with 7kids? she would have been crazy taking care of her children of different attitudes and moods. Like anyone here, she gets easily nervous about everything, talk a lot or lecture everytime she wants to raise her point, gets mad if provoked, sweet like she'll invite to go to UK (ukay ukay po)and me end up paying up for everything, crazy and wacky, and most of all she's like a friend whom you can talk to.... ok, I smell drama now. STOP.

And so today, we all went out , first time for us to be all together for a dinner, and guess where we went??? ha ha ha ha McDonald's!! hmm it's suppose to be Shakeys or Maxx's, but motherhood insist to go somewhere food are served fast, for she wants us to attend the 7:30pm mass, which I dont wanna do that time,. But she made sure we're all done with our foods at past 7, so we wont be late.. oh well, I dont have a choice, mom and dad dropped us off at the church!! So there, we sit in a row, all of us (her kids), she already attended the morning mass so they just went home.. The mass' homily was great. I saw myself almost in tears. And before the mass ended, there's this catholic group who presented a mothers'day interpretative dance, and a choir of men holding candles at the back. The show's message, and the entire mass's pinch me down to my heart of how special and great mothers are. And I thank mom, she insisted us to attend that mass..

And when we got home, oh a gallon of ice cream's waiting in the fridge!! happy here it's mothers day, hope everyday it is... lol

Myspace, Friendster, Hi5, MSN Spaces etc etc etc

Cool blog. Great layout. Embedded music. Friend requests. Pretty photos. Meant to socialize. Flirt. and so on.... some few things that this interactive social sites offers, that most people of my age,and teenagers are very hooked up to. I plead guilty! well not to all of those sites you know hehehe.. here's the story: Once upon a time, I became acquianted with Internet, I felt like I can see the whole world and know what people thinks in just one click. The first experience of typing the first website i knewwww.hotmail.com and signing up that info-thing(that's the first thing my computer teacher taught me and the class) was a cool one.Walahhhh I have my very first email add!! and started to give it to everyone i know, and even asked them "email me!!" ha ha ha.. it's like im a naive girl who came from a far-flung town of Quezon with zero sign of civilization,and went to a busy city of Manila !! Yay! until I learned the language of chatting, learned the "asl", "brb" and "gtg"..I made a lot of few friends, chat with anyone who buzz me, download this and that, click left and right, and then all of a sudden my online world stopped, ooops!I broke down the school's computer...funny I didnt know such thing as viruses then..lol..... AND now, bye bye hotmail, welcome friendster, had hundreds of friends yeah just keep on adding everyone, not happy so I switch to Hi5, MSN's spaces, and Myspace all of the same time! jeeez, a total torture to my poor inbox..

Dont ask me to add you up, coz just deleted all my profiles! Im maintaining my Myspace now, since i love tracking people's blog and rants... and it's quiet there, i just wish there's a way who viewed my profile..hmmm. which they dont allow that.. anyway lets's talk about history!! MYSPACE was founded by Tom Anderson with his team of programmers back in July 2003, and just recently sold the site to Rupert Morduch of Fox News Corp. Myspace which is at sixth position for the most visited English website in the world with 76million whopping users! outwitted Friendster, Livejournal and the like.. as for Friendster, it was established in 2002 by Jonathan Abrams. Generally speaking, the members of Friendster's service are young adults in Europe, North America, and Asia aged about 21 to 30. However, even that cannot be accurately defined as there are also many other users within other regions and age groups. as evidenced in the larger membership of teenagers than young adults in South East Asia especially in the Philippines and Indonesia. --excerpts from wikipedia.. Look at that, friendster's a big hit here! beat my family, all of my sibs and cousins have friendster accounts!

My day? *duh* if i wasnt able to go to Jollibee and eat my fav chickenjoy with an overflowing gravy, i wont feel any better. Dad,mum,irene, reymart and my baby sis went there after attending a mass.. the conflict? family and business issue in one! and it's sad i cant do anything about it. I need a lawyer to fix this, and save my ass for a crime! LOL.. hey, dont think I did something bad here, na ah! no no no no. *dont ask* spare me this,. good thing, honey's on at his IM, we talked and i whine about everything, that's my baby, he absorbed it all,and now he's worried... and happy when he gave a call just to make sure im ok, well honey just to hear your voice, baby ill be fine...awww, love yah! *kisses*


>>>YESTERDAY was my sister IRENE's graduation.It was held at PICC, and the rites took 6hours to finish! good thing i didnt go with them (my proud parents and Cathy), me being sleepyhead?not on that occasion.. I just cooked everyone's favorite "my killer-spaghetti" for dinner, I never taste any spaghetti better than the way i cooked it. Very true. Ask my tasters and the fans..as for my sis, at last she's done with that 4years like us, but months more for her review and board, btw she took up Nursing..

>>>tomorrow's agenda: hmmm go to the City Hall and secure police and NBI clearances, as the usual requirement in applying jobs, go to Makati and try my luck again heh, and my favorite thing to do, read blogs (of EXes)hehehehe, trying to find out something..lol shhhhh dont tell anyone

>>>more rants! just wish my bestfriend Anthony had the time to see me when he was here for a two weeks off from his cruise job, imagine he just left again for Europe without telling me, he better be sure to have the best explanation for this, and he havent hand me my "pasalubong" yet..hmmm, hope his reading this now.

so, gtg!need to have a beauty rest for tomorrow. love you ppl
