The best Kalasag

Reportsssss + Targets = Month End Today is extraordinarily stressful. Last night I slept past midnight after doing my reports and official calls. This morning, I was awake at 4AM trying to figure out the things I am supposed to accomplish today. I detest month ends. More than the target (nakalampas na kasi ako), the pressure of people calling for reports and updates are almost excruciating. Especially if you have nothing they expect.   This time, my eyes are almost painful and in dire need of a good sleep. We’re way off the target, but were hoping for more for a price we wanted. Isang great deal na lang sana at maaabot na, but we can never bee too greedy. We have already reached the basic target, and that I am really proud for my first birthday month in the institution I am with now. I am wholly blessed believing that I exceeded their egggspectation, that amidst tests, we delivered. Thank you GOD. Indeed you are my “Kalasag”

why worry and be anxious if you have God. Sa aki'y ang nag-iingat ay Panginoong matapat. Ako'y kanyang iniligtas sa panganib na mabihag. Mahal N'ya ako sa lahat.

Dear Blog: T'was a boring Saturday night. Tin has her own lakad with friends kaya I invited kumpareng Atty. Andres na magpa-massage, a real massage something that relaxes and not the one which makes you sweat (LOLz) . Suki kami ng Thewi Thai Massage in D. Tuazon Ave cor. Ma. Clara QC. If your looking for some respite at the most reasonable price, D. Tuazon is the place for not-so authentic Thai yet really relieving massage. For two or three years, we frequent the place.  At P200 you can have an hour of Thai hagod done the pinay way LOL. Welcoming guests is the strong scent of eucalyptus. While waiting, marerelax ka ng warm foot bath. Then you will be ushered to your assigned room. They have rooms for couples and groups and for those who  just wanted to be alone. While waiting for our turn, two attendants entered the room. One was pinay na pinay and the other .....wahhh the petite boyish looking one. She exudes that aura of a palaban tomboy clad in her unif...

EDSA @ 25

Image
yes, EDSA people power revolt is one of a kind something that we Filipinos should be proud of our legacy which inspired other countries worldwide the peaceful revolt is a source of inspiration it has given us HOPE when we almost feel like giving up it is an exemplar of a bloodless movement, a quest for change to cut a regime that has engulfed our peace and freedom.  sadly, the very essence of the event is also tainted we, the generation of today are witnesses  how some  used the noble intentions of EDSA  to obtain power and government positions yes, they became our icon of democracy yet, for some they were opportunities.

Last night was our office's post valentines day party. Since bago pa lang ako sa company, it was my first time to attend such gathering. Like others, the intention was to let everyone, for once, relax and escape from work's pressure.  The band was pretty okay, chill lang naman, but they undoubtedly set the mood. In my previous post, I hinted on how stressed I am with office party. Probably due to my previous bosses' influence that even if its about relaxation, I still perceive gathering of such nature as still work, not to mention that I am suppose to attend a family gathering. I really did tried to avoid but to no avail.  The program started with some games. First we were given part of a heart and the mission was to find the other two parts. It  was soso GTKY (Getting to Know You) SLE (Structured learning Exercise) but has given us opportunity to mingle. The second one was sort of a dating game. Since medyo madami kami, we  needed to line up for answers on qu...

Gising 24 Oras

my very own Armour. Walang idlipan, walang higaan, walang bahid ng antok... trabahong totoo lamang...gising 24 Oras. I have been up for more than 24 hours now. Just had a quick 10-minute power nap this morning. Every hour in the past days at the office was always a rush. We’re almost in the target but still determined to go beyond. This is my birth month and was formally introduced as a regular employee of the company, thus, I wanted it to be special. With all the reports and expectations surrounding, I am expecting another night of bring-home work. Nonetheless, I thank my Higher Strength for giving me enough wisdom and strength daily, my ponytail  and dear parents for the awesome support and understanding and co-employees who never cease to surprise me with what they can do every day. One week more and we are all hopeful for the goal.... To reacccchhhh the unreachable...... car  (joke lang, or at least a well deserved break) !

Thanks be to GOD

Many of us haven't discovered life’s real gist. We always grumble over it to the extent of having to blaming everything and everyone. Life shouldn't be that way or it should have been done differently. Be thankful every time we feel our deep-breath because we are stuck on a heavy traffic. Be thankful every time we smell our shirt bad because of sweating in finding the right job for us. Be thankful because we can smell farts. Be thankful for every bad hair days. Be thankful for we can shout "oooooouuuch!" Be thankful because we are still alive despite all the sins we have made. Because our God is so hopeful to us that we, HIS children will fully understand our existence and our purpose in this beautiful world. Always seek God for whatever situation that we may be. Because with God there's always hope amidst hopelessness. "There are many plans in a person's mind, but it is the counsel of the LORD which will stand"  --Proverbs 19:21

Hot Valentine's Day Sex ... i mean DATE.

Image
Disclaimer: These are suggestions for those who are already engaged in a responsible relationship. Sa mga magkarelasyon na nangangailangan ng paraan para painitin ang paparating na araw ng mga puso. The ideas are also cheap that you don’t need to spend for accommodations and be hassled by the long queues at hotels and of course.... motels. LOL. My ideal heart’s day is celebrating it at home. There’s nothing sweeter than us cooking our specialty for the love of our lives. It is also the most intimate as you seem to be simulating the life you both wish, living it together. If in case, just in case, you are in a sexual relationship, for sure you’ll be thinking of something more than the dinner and the roses to cap the night. Pupusta ako na gagawa at gagawa ng paraan para sa isang maiinit at pawisang magdamag. LOLz. I see nothing wrong in it as long as you both are committed to each other and that you perfectly understood its repercussions. If you want to ensure you have sex that sizz...

Flying with INFANTS

Image
The trip back to Manila was excruciatingly painful. I wanted to get some sleep and was really cold. There were four infants on-board but that of my seat mate was crying and shouting all throughout. I don't blame the baby. I understand that babies tend to cry to supposedly call our attention to address their discomforts. It seems to me that the parents wasn't at all aware of the repercussions of the cabin pressure on infants especially during take off and landing. If we adults aren't immune to these, so are the infants.  During Takeoff: Cabin pressure changes as the the airplane gains altitude. Some babies may experience ear pressure discomfort because of this. Feeding your child during takeoff will help relieve the pain. The pressure change may also cause the baby bottle to squirt some of its contents as you remove its cap. It is best to hold it upright as you open it to let some air in. Bring a snack or toy to keep your baby busy once you are up in the...

Flying LOW

Last Feb 6 after plans had been besmirched by several circumstances, I went home and decided to pay old folks a pretty delayed visit. Low on budget, I scourged the internet for online booking of promos. Alas, there is Zest Airways, a relatively new comer in Philippine air travels after it was established in 2008 by AMY Holdings Corporation.   My round trip ticket to Iloilo costs me only P484.00 all in which means i only have to pay for the terminal fees and land transportations which is about P1,600. Not bad right? Okay, the cost really is amaaaazingggly reasonable. But what about the services? Arriving at the old domestic airport for my 4:00 AM flight, the atmosphere was cordial. The guard checking the tickets and IDs was all-smiles prompting the no-sleep and grumpy me to also be affable.   Understandably, compared to the other bigger airlines, the old domestic airport's system of checking in passengers is less systematic. Probably because of...

I am 30ishhh!

Today, O Lord, I celebrate my birthday. I Thank YOU for this beautiful life ...nurtured and cared for by a responsible family , enriched and enlivened by true friends , made meaningful and worthwhile by their love . Yes, I thank You for believing in me even though I sometimes fail to follow Your Word. I thank You for your unwavering trust even though I sometimes fail to follow Your plan. I thank You for searching for me even when I willfully neglect You and hide from You. You guide me away from sin and shame: my lips will speak of my gratitude. You direct me to the noblest goals and help me garner great honors: my heart will beat in thanksgiving. You rescue me from the pit of destruction; I will live my life in total obedience to You.

You have given me Your love uncondi...

@ NBI Arriving at the SO in QC Hall around 8:30 to renew my clearance, the long lines suggest na malamang I had to endure mahaba-habang tayuan. A fixer instantly approached me and offered a way out. For P550.00 di na raw pipila versus the usual P115 payment. I almost succumb to his proposition. I am just wondering how they still exist amidst two streamers which reminds everyone to report such. Their presence is so noticeable that they even socialize at times with guards in the area and is an indication that many still avail of their services and some permit such. Puch*, apat na oras akong nakatayo just to pay and get my receipt. There were three lines and ours was painfully crawling slower than the pagong . The next steps however were relatively quick. Sa kabila ng hirap marami pa din naman akong nanotice na display of positive attributes . Some are puro reklamo, while others ay game magpatawa at makipagkilala . Respect is also present, sa mga normal na pumila walang singitan at hin...
