S-I-L's Going To UAE

I fetched my sister-in-law at the airport earlier today. She's going to stay here in my place just for tonight because she's gonna be on her way to United Arab Emirates tomorrow. She's going to work there as a Nurse. I can just imagine the sadness that my brother feel right now. This is going to be the first time that him and his wife are gonna be miles apart. He's left to take care of their only son, Brandon, who was lately been suspected of autism. We all hope it's just delay on his speech development. Brandon is now being treated and hopefully my Mom and my brother would be able to see some more development in Brandon.

It's gonna be hard for Mary Joy to be very far away from her family. I hope she would be able to make it over there. I hope she will overcome the homesickness. The good thing about where she's going to work at is that she's allowed to go home every year. At least she'll be able to see her family after a year. Time passes by so fast. If she's going to concentrate on her work, the next thing she'll know is that she's gonna be home-sweet-home again with Baby Brandon and my little brother.

I Got My Laptop Back!

My laptop is fixed! Thanks to my friend! I'm now back to business! LOL!

It's really nice to have friends around who can be a big help in times of dire need! I can live without my lappy but I badly need it! And I don't have much money to purchase a new one in case it won't work at all.

I'm really glad to have my laptop back!

A Gift For Completing My 1st Part Of Training

I was done with one of my trainings at work some weeks ago. Just last week, I received a congratulatory email in my outlook. And as a token, I was asked to chose from three gifts I wanted for being able to finish the required training. There were options, a desk clock, a safety utility knife which is like that of Martor USA box cutters and there's this one more gift that I forgot! LOL! I have a bad memory, you know!

Anyway, I chose the desk clock. On those gift options, there was the name of my company sealed in there. And I like looking at it in the desk clock.

I hope to get that gift this week! :) I hope I get some more of these gifts in my stay at the company!

My Laptop Crashed... Again :(

My laptop, I guess, crashed the other day. I don't know what happened. It's just that whenever I turn it on, MY Windows screen doesn't pull up anymore. I just get a black screen. :( I don't know how to fix it. I still have to bring it to a friend who knows about computers to put my laptop back to life. I just recently got another online opportunity and I wanted to be able to finish the online tasks on time so I can earn some more moolah. I hope my friend could fix my dear lappy as soon as possible.

I am taking advantage of my online access here at work. I'm on break right now so I basically don't break any rules. :)

It's so different to not be able to go online in the comforts of my home. Sigh! I really hope I can get my lappy working again today.

Proper Medication For Pain

Pain definitely interrupts whatever it is that we are doing. Whether we're typing something on our computer at work to finish a deadline, or if we're doing an errand at home that needs to be done on time. If pain gets in our way, we won't be able to finish our tasks at hand the way it's supposed to be done. The outcome could be delay in whatever we have to accomplish within the day, or worse, we are bound to lose our job!

Sometimes pain could not allow us to do anything at all! One example of this, for some women, is painful menstruation. Some women will just have to lay sick in bed, enduring that pain and keep wondering why she has to go through it whenever she has her menstrual cycle.
In some cases of pain, like arthritis and some other acute pain, most of us take over-the-counter medications which don't even work. It's always best to consult a physician especially if it has been a re-ocurring ailment.

Celebrex which has an active ingredient Celecoxib has been a common treatment for the illnesses that are mentioned above. It also can cure Rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondylitis. Like all other drugs Celebrex have its side effects, though. That's why for this medicine, it should be prescribed by a doctor since there are particular dosage that should be given depending on the condition of the patient.

It's always best to consult a doctor whenever you're in pain to get proper medication and subscription.

The Rain And The Mild Earthquake

It's raining cats and dogs once again. I love the rain but I don't like it when it's too much. It causes flooding and tragedy to some parts of the country. I hope the tropical depression "Juaning" will find its way out of the country soon.

Just the other night, we also experienced a mild earthquake. I was at work when it happened. My office was at the 8th floor of the building. The shaking wasn't really that bad. It just felt like I was being swayed and it lasted, well, I guess more than 10 seconds? I'm not really sure. But it was a bit longer. And it's the first time that most of us experienced it. The people around me are about to panic. Thank God the shaking stopped in few more seconds. Or else, my workmate who's seated right next to me might have gone straight to the fire exit. LOL!

I really wasn't worried when the earthquake happened. It doesn't feel like it's the end of the world yet. And if ever it happens, I won't be worried at all! I have FAITH! :)

She Should Have Gone To Rehab... :(

I was dumbfounded by the news that I came across with in the internet the moment I went online this morning. Although I somehow saw it coming, it's pretty ironic that I still got shocked about the news. It said - Singer Amy Winehouse Dies. The cause of death wasn't released to the press yet. She was found dead yesterday in her home. Personally, I speculate a drug overdose. What do you guys think? I mean, she's known for being an addict and a drunkard, isn't she?

The reason I got surprised is maybe because she's too young to die. She's only 27, about to turn 28, we're basically the same age. And she's a really great singer. Her style is unique and she's a really very talented musician. Well, she performs well when she's sober (she's drunk and high most of the time in her performances in YouTube). Sigh. She can make a lot of great music. Too bad she died in a very young age. Tsk, tsk!

Rehab could have saved her life. She should have gone there in contrary to the song that made her famous - REHAB. As a tribute to her, here's the song.



May you rest in peace, Amy.

Back To Dropping ECs! :)

I finally was able to drop EntreCards for this blog! I haven't done this for quite a while. I have to admit, I've been so lazy lately. I haven't even been to the gym for, I guess, 2 months now. Sigh. I can feel I'm already gaining weight. I have to push myself next week to be at least spend an hour everyday or maybe 3 times a week. That should start next week, I hope!

I'll also try to do my best to drop EC's so my traffic will once again increase. I don't want Google to take away my pagerank just yet! :) I got 2/10 pagerank on this blog right now! I can't believe it at first. And I'm really enjoying that rank right now as much as I can!

I feel exhausted right now and I am really sleepy while dropping ECs today. I better hit the sack now. Thank God it's Friday! I'm so excited for another weekend!

Happy Friday everyone! :)

Itching About Shopping Online

A friend of mine just started an online business recently. She's selling clothes, bags, wallets and accessories online. I'm crazy about the Korean dresses that she has been showcasing online. I'm so itching to acquire one of those beautiful dresses. And the accessories that's on sale right now, including the artcarved jewelries, they really look nice on the pictures. I hope they really are beautiful for real. :) They are in cheaper prices now. How I wish I already have enough money to shop online. Unfortunately, I still have to stick to my budget. Sigh. I have to refrain myself from looking into her website. Or else, I will be spending for something I still don't really need right now. LOL!

Friendship In A Mist

I'm feeling so sad, I feel like I lost a friend.
It's never the same, it feels like the end.
I never wanted us to be this way
I never expected that you'd turn and walk away.

I thought we can just rekindle what we used to have
An opportunity to be happier we won't have to grab
We're so scared of complications we didn't move forward
Coz we thought falling in love will just be too hard

But we're not even friends anymore
How can this be so hurtful?
I have moved on
and thought forgetting you is simple

I don't miss the hugs and kisses
I just miss the laughter and bliss
I think I better content myself
With the memories of our friendship that's seemed to be lost in the mist

I wrote this poem just now. It says everything about how I'm feeling at the moment... Sigh! I should have known better. :(

Welcoming Baby Keon!

Baby Keon

I was at Bulacan yesterday to visit a good friend of mine, Caryl, who delivered a baby boy a few weeks back. I went with some other friends of ours on the previous company I worked for. It was really fun to have seen Caryl looking great and finally have become a full time Mom. I also met her ever cuddly niece who has been very hyper when we got to their house. Caryl said he's naturally a hypertensive child even when there are no visitors around. They're hoping Kurt isn't showing an ADHD symptom, or else they're gonna have to spend for ADD ADHD Drug Treatment Centers. :D

Kurt and I

Caryl and her in-laws prepared special delicacies for our visit. We were so touched and were already hungry when we got to their home. After a few chitchats, we are the sumptuous meal prepared for us! The kare-kare was really delicious that I ate a lot. Not basically my normal meal! LOL!

The Gang

And the sumptuous meal!

Yesterday's visit was indeed fun. I'm so glad to see the little Baby Keon. I hope to see more of him hopefully be a part of his growing up! :D

Wattaday!!! :(

I already wasn't feeling well at the office the whole shift earlier. When it was time to go home, I was in hurry to catch the first train so I won't be late for Church service this morning. I can hardly breathe because of my flu during the service. And when I was on my way home, I realized I left my set of keys at the office. So I had someone destroy my door lock so I can get into my room. Sigh! Why am I so clumsy today? I'm still waiting for someone to fix my door lock. I still have to go to the bank but I can't leave my house yet. Whattaday! LOL! This is just awesome! I hope I won't get into anymore trouble today. :)

I Love My Job, So Far... :)

I like my new job! I like the office environment. The people there are friendly and my boss isn't in a hurry to have me finish my training yet. Everything is just smooth sailing. Although I'm learning a lot from reading everything about the company and its products.

I like how the employees over my new company love their jobs. A lot of them are working there for years now. And I didn't hear anyone complain about how stressful their jobs are. They don't seem stressed out at all. They even have the time to browse the internet and check on the latest gadgets online. I even heard one of my colleagues say, "where can I buy a ps3 keyboard?" while she's browsing on some gadgets online.

I can just smile and can really say that where I'm working at right now is way different from the previous companies I worked with. I can even eat on my own desk anytime I want! :)

It doesn't take an online HR degree to see this company values its people and has great PHR certification.

I think I made the right choice in choosing to be part of this company! :)

Gym And Work Schedule Rant

I haven't really had the time to go to the gym lately. I feel regretful about the money I have already paid for it. It's been more than 2 months now of not being able to workout. Sigh. I've been really busy. I'm not even sure if I can still go back to working out. I might not extend my contract at that gym because I'm afraid I'll be wasting more money for it. If ever I'd fat again, which thankfully hasn't happened yet, I might check out a diet pill that works. In that way, I don't want my money to be wasted anymore.

I'm still trying to adjust to my work schedule. Going home too early in the morning is kind of a new thing for me. But I kinda like it. It's nice walking at the streets with the cold wind blowing my face. But I still have a hard time whenever I'm on my way to work in the evening. Traffic in Manila really sucks! Besides, I wasn't been able to attend to a lot of Church activities with this schedule. I hope my manager will give me a 10pm-7am shift soon. I'd be more comfortable with that schedule. I might also be able to spend at least an hour at gym after my work at 7am. :)

Can't Get Over My Palawan Experience

I really can't get over my Palawan experience last week! I came across this quote by Anne Frank. The quote says it all!

The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is
to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone
with the heavens, nature and God.

Because only then does one feel that all is as it should be and
that God wishes to see people happy, amidst the simple
beauty of nature. I firmly believe that nature brings solace
in all troubles.
- Anne Frank



Have a blessed Monday everyone!!! :)

Worried For A Friend...

It's past 1 o'clock in the morning now. It's still my day off and I'm supposed to be asleep right now. What's keeping me up is this friend of mine who's having love problems. I don't why all of a sudden I've become a confidante to a lot of friends lately. I don't mean I don't like it. In fact I like being able to help them out with their issues. It's just this one friend of mine who is miserable with his "love life". Just a few minutes ago, he's crying out loud on his Facebook Wall and at the same time chatting with me. He seems like he's really depressed. I've been trying to calm him down because I'm scared that he'll do something bad to himself. I hope he wouldn't. I'm still waiting for him to reply to my messages but I'm not getting any response yet. I really hope he wouldn't do anything to hurt himself physically.

It was quite a long day yesterday. I really haven't gotten enough sleep yet. I'll just leave a message to my friend and keep my fingers crossed. Sigh. I feel sad to have to end my day this way. :(

Excited About My First Pay Check

My most awaited day for this coming week is pay day! :D In just a few days, I'll be receiving my first pay check. I'm really excited. After few months of being jobless, I finally will be able to receive the fruits of my few days of labor. :D It's not that much yet but I'm hoping it's gonna be enough for me to survive for another 15 days. Sometimes I wish I've been employed at my current employer for quite a while now so I can ask for a payday loans because there are a lot of bills to pay. Well, I guess I'm gonna have to wait.

For now, I better stick to my budget for me not to run out of money before the pay day. I have to promise myself not to spend for something that I don't really need!

Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon

My flight from Puerto Prinsesa, Palawan was an hour early. I didn't have the time to buy some souvenirs anymore to give to my friends back here in Manila. I was a little disappointed when I was on my way home. Puerto Prinsesa is such a beautiful place and there are a lot of other places there that I wanted to go to but I didn't have the time anymore. I am really hoping to go back there and explore some more of Puerto Prinsesa. I'll be posting some pictures soon.

As soon as I got home yesterday, I immediately laid on my bed because I got exhausted from the trip. I was about to get some sleep when my friend Judith called me up on my phone. You see, I posted on my Facebook wall that I wanted to watch the movie Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon. Then there came Judith and asked me out to go see the movie. Another movie treat from her which I am really thankful of! :D

I'm not really a huge fan of Transformers even when I was a kid. It's totally a boy's world for me and really wasn't interested in robots. But when I watched the first movie, it was so exciting and entertaining! The action on all the sequels kept putting me at the edge of my seat. I still haven't memorized the names of all the Autobots and their enemies, the Decepticons. I just know Optimus Prime and love Bumble Bee! :D


Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon, introduced another woman in Sam Witwicky's (Shia LeBouf) life - the beautiful and sexy Carly Spencer (Rosie Huntington-Whiteley). Their chemistry is just a so-so for me. Not like that of Megan Fox's role as Mikaela Banes. His Mom and Dad are still funny and annoying! haha! Especially his Mom.

The movie also presented Sentinel who betrayed the Autobots and wanted to build Cybertron and rule over the planet Earth. But of course, the Autobots were able to defend the Earth and the human race and destroyed the pillars setup by the Decepticons. And they live happily ever after. LOL! Well, there were Autobots who unfortunately died. Which made some of the fans sad. Atleast it wasn't Prime Optimus or Bumble Bee who died! :D

I enjoyed watching the movie. Thanks to my friend, Judith, who never forget me as her movie date! Love you, gurlfriend!
