Christmas Ideas please.....

2009-11-30T23:33:00.000-08:00

Today is the first day of December and a few days from now it will be Christmas Day! I'm not really looking forward for the Christmas day but after seeing the happiness in my daughters eyes when she saw the decors that I put in our house I then started to realize that I should now start making a plan on how to make this days a special one for my baby.

I know most parents does plans for this day but i wasn't really convince that i will be one of them since I grew up not to celebrate Christmas too much. Just going to church and eating some of my favorite food is the usual things we do before. We rarely have noche buena at home because most of the time we're not complete and I am so sure that this year we will not be complete also...But I don't care about that! What will matter now is the happiness of my baby. I will make sure that she'll enjoy this Christmas day although this is not her first since she's already two.

So if you have some ideas on how to make it memorable for my baby please do share it with me and I'd really appreciate it a lot! Thanks!

Finally! My baby Ayessa has turned two last November 5,2009. Since she just got sick and still not that well last Nov 5 we decided to have a simple celebration. And I'd like to thank all those who help us...to my Tita Fely and JP who gave the cake and ice cream...

My Birthday Girl

2009-10-31T05:06:00.000-07:00

In a few days she'll be turning two.

This was taken last September

I know I should celebrate and be joyful since I can say that she has passed the critical first two years of existence in this world but I don't know why I feel afraid.

Probably it's because of her condition now. I don't know, but i noticed that she's becmoing sickly these past few days. Though it's just a simply cough and colds but I can't help but get worried on her condition. Especially now that she's also having problems in her bowel movements and she's vomitting.

I have brought her to the doctor and she was given antibiotics and other medicines but the doctor did not gave any particular reasons why she's suffering in that conditions. Maybe it's because she stil needs to see the laboraory results for my baby's stool and urine sample. But that will take long since it's holiday. I still need to wait for monday to come.

I'm just praying that before her birthday came she'll be feelig well.

Goodbye October, Hello November!

2009-10-29T19:34:00.000-07:00

It's alreay end of the month! Grabe ang bilis ng araw parang kakasimula pa lang ng October ngayon katapusan na naman. Hay!

Nalalapit na ang oras na ako ay mawawalan ng trabaho. (Sana may kapalit agad hehehe). Well aside from that, I should also be aware that the second birthday of my baby is coming up. My Little angel will be two on November 5. Wow! parang feeling ko last year lang ako nagbuntis at ang baby ko toddler na ngayon.

Until now I don't have any plans for her birthday. Aside from giving her a present and a cake wala pa akong plan talaga how we will celebrate her 2nd birthday. Ang hirap kasi na kasabay ng birthday niya ang birthday din tatlong cousins niya. And all those three invites her to join their celebration. Good thing lang magkakaiba ang time.

Maybe we'll just bond together and spend most of the day together since lately di na kami nakakalabas. Hmm...Sounds nice. Basta I'll make her enjoy that special day of her.

Hairfall problem

2009-10-26T01:13:00.000-07:00

I use to have a hairfall problem during my college days. It was really terrible that I have baldspots already and now I didn't realize that I am having that problem again.

I thought it was just normal since I really have hairfall eversince but just last week I noticed that I have a baldspot at my nape area. I am now starting to worry. I now I should get the medications I use before which is the regroe(minoxidil) but I still wanted to try some other alternatives. Like those that has natural product. Regroe does really helps me before but I don't have the time to apply all those stuff and wait it to dry first before taking a bath etc. So I do need some other alternative brands.

Well, I read in femalenetwork that Nature GArden Shampoo does lessen hairfall so I might try that one. Or the Luaut Shampoo. I just hope it will solve my delimma.

I'm back to blogging!

2009-10-25T23:24:00.001-07:00

After a few weeks here my new blog post. I wasn't able to post here cause of my busy schedule at work and at home. Aside from that I'm also busy hunting for a new job. My employment contract will be ending this December and I need a new job to continue support my family. Oops! I don't want to elaborate more on that since I had a bad experience on the last job interview that I had last week. Anyway, I'm still hopeful to get a new and better job after my contract expiration. I really wish I could find one.

The other side of calamity

2009-10-01T18:48:00.000-07:00

I know how hard to be a victim of any forms of calamity and I really salute those who struggle to survive and even dare to be of help to some other victims. I've been hearing lots of good news about the heroism of some people during the occurrence of typhoon Ondoy here in our country. It is still evident that the spirit of bayanihan still resides in our hearts.

Another thing that I've been noticing to Filipino's is their positive attitude towards the tragedy. We Filipino's still manages to smile even how tragic our experiences are. Some may even joke on it just to forget the sad fate that has happened. Have you seen some news on the TV? Notice some victims waving their hands and smiling in front of the camera. You will only saw that here in the Philippines. Some races may still cry and you'll see sad faces but with Filipino's is different. It only shows that we don't loose hope. We still believe that there is a bright tomorrow after the storm.

I don't know if some people notice it too but I've noticed that calamity victims get more help whenever election season is up. Some aspiring public officials were trying to show their generosity and always want to be of help to the victims. I do appreciate their help but as what some people say let's just hope that this act or event will not be use in politics. Cause once the calamity or tragedy doesn't happen during the time of campaign period would they still give help?

Jacque Bernejo: What's wrong with this girl?

2009-09-29T00:50:00.000-07:00

I promised myself not to put any post regarding the typhoon Ondoy since I'm also a victim but after reading the comment or wall post of this certain Jaque Bernejo on her facebook, I can't help but to post this. I'm sure lots of Filipino's have read it and might understand why I need to post this thing...I think the person who posted that is not in her proper mind condition..in tagalog baliw ang taong ito. I also read in some post that this lady claims that her account in facebook has been hacked and she's not the one posting those comments.

For me this is not the right time to make some fun specially if there are people who are really affected. Who ever made that comment, I'm sure he/she is happy now because he/she's beent hte talk of the town.

How could someone put a rude comment such as hers on what happened to the whole nation? Siguro ang taong ito ay napaka buti at sa sobrang buti niya ay nilipad na ng katinuan ang kanyang isipan. Sa totoo lang Miss Bernejo, kung ikaw man talaga ang nagsulat ng di magandang salitang nasa facebook mo ngayon nakakasuklam ang iyong pahayag. Sana lang ay wala kang kamag-anak na naging biktima din ng bagyong Ondoy. Or baka naman sadyang napakaitim na ng budhi mo? Ewan ko lang kung anong masasabi ng pamilya mo sa sama ng sinabi mong yan sa mga Filipino?

Ten things about myself

2009-09-25T00:27:00.000-07:00

I never thought that I will share almost everything here on my blog. And I didn't also imagine that there were people who will respond to some of my post which I really appreciate a lot. In this place I am able to find some peace and I felt that I'm being accepted by everyone. So I now decided to tell ten things about myself which may or may not be good.

1. I came from a broken family. I am not proud of that but I am very vocal in saying that fact about myself since I don't see anything wrong with that.

2. I grew up in a poor family wherein we don't own our house and we live in a place which is almost considered a depressed area here in Mandaluyong. We just got lucky that the government gave us the rights for the land after paying a certain amount.

3. Although we are poor, I don't know how to do the laundry. But now I'm trying to learn with the help of the washing machine of course! Actually, I can do all the chores except than doing the laundry.

4. I took up and finished the course that my father wants me to take hoping that way I can make him proud of me and hoping that way he will not leave me. But I was wrong he left me to my mother. It's not because I don't want to be with my mom I'm just really close to my dad. And I missed him terribly.

5. Aside from being a daddy's girl I'm also a Lolo's girl. Remember the McDonald commercial about Karen and her Lolo? Our relationship is deeper than that. I know I owe my life to my Lolo since he is the one who supported me all through out. He's the one who tried to gave all the things that I wanted. I just feel so sorry that he's gone now that I can able to pay him back.

6. I never been hospitalize in my whole life other than the day I gave birth to my baby and I really don't want to stay long inside the hospital. That's the main reason why after I gave birth, I think after less than 24 hours I asked the permission of my doctor to send me out of the hospital. Luckily she gave my request.

7. I'm the most stupid person you can ever met when we talk about love. It does not only loving the opposite sex but it can be about loving a friend, family and pet. My friends call me "tanga at boba pagdating sa pag-ibig." Even I know that I was being exploited I will not care as long as I saw my loved one happy, it's fine with me.

8. I can be you best friend but I can also be your worst enemy. I'm the type of person who can forgive but once I say "stop it's the end" I will no longer forgive you until you die.

9. I say what I want, what I feel and what I think. It might offend someone but once I did I know how to apologize and if I'm wrong I know how to accept mistakes.

10. I can't spend money buying expensive things. As they say "kuripot ako." If ever I want something and it's expensive I'll just try to look for things that will not cost me much in that way I can able to buy something for my family too.

How I overcome boring work days?

2009-09-23T20:01:00.000-07:00

Have you ever experience while inside the office, you find nothing to do? It's like you need to go to the office even you know that there's nothing waiting for you. You know that office hours will be boring and dull but you can't be absent! Well if you do encounter this count me in 'cause most of the time this is my situation at the office. I know that I should be looking for another job but I can't able since I signed a contract. But just to ease some boredom here's some thing that I usually do…

Walk. If I find time to escape from my office table I certainly grab it. I'd take some walk inside the office building but I try to act that I am looking for someone. Actually it's just a short walk just to relax and also to make my blood circulating. You can also try going to the restroom and have some retouching if necessary. Hahaha!

Search the net. Well, not all offices allow us to use the internet facility like we do here. But I still make it. Actually, if I sense that someone is coming I automatically minimize my internet explorer and pretend that I'm busy. It's hard since I really don't have something to do. One thing I always do is to open a word document and type anything that goes in my mind. But make sure that your fonts are not too visible that someone can able to read it.

Talk to a friend. This is another popular way to waste your time. Calling some friends and talking to them but don't be too obvious that it's a personal call unless you want to have a bad record. You can also try to send them an email or even chat with them if your company allows chat facility. That will not be too obvious. Some may think that the emails you write and read are official.

Take a snack. I always made sure that I have some crackers and candies in my drawer. Not just to satisfy my hunger but also it helps for me not to notice the time.

Maybe you have better idea to share. Please don't hesitate!

My New Sideline!

2009-09-20T23:39:00.000-07:00

I've been thinking of having a sideline eversince aside from the online earning rakets that I have now and I come accross of this incident where I don't find a cellphone load retailer in our place. Actually I find someone but he charges me extra amount and the load does not comes to my hand. So that instant I decided to be a retailer of cellphone loads. Luckily here in our office someone is offering it. She guides me on the process of becoming a retailer and it's for free. If ever I find it really helpful and I'm earning well with this I might also try to be a dealer. Well, let's see if I will earn good amount as a cellphone load retailer. So if you need cellphone load just let me know and I'll be happy to serve you of course you need to pay me first hahahaha!

My form of discipline

2009-09-20T17:41:00.000-07:00

As a mother it is one of my concern how I will discipline my baby. It is also my concern to have a disciplinary measure in which no one can intrude. As we all know in our culture the Lola and Lolo's were the one's who make kunsinti to our child.

Now, I can say that my child at the age of 1 year and ten months, she barely knows when I'm getting at the end of my temper. And she noticed that she always runs for the help of my mom. Though there are times also that she sits and listen to me when I talk to her. Though maybe it is her nature to be makulit why there are times I can't help but say, "Naomi, ano na naman ang ginawa mo?" This is because she has a tendency to make gigil to her playmates which end up to crying.

One thing that I am starting to teach my child is the "reward and penalty". In this discipline I don't tolerate the wrong things she does. Since my in-laws and my mom we're against to hitting the child we ends up In facing the wall as a punishment or I ask her to go to our room alone which she really hates. So whenever she made a mistake she knows how to say sorry and make bawi. As much as possible I don't want to spoil her so the reward is very often to come even she's been a good girl for a week.

As young as her age she now knows when is the time to play, eat and sleep. I also teach her to clean up the mess after playing. And maybe because this she's even the one who tells my mom to close the faucet when she saw it open, or sweep the floor when she can't pick up the small dirt on the floor.

So far those were the only form of discipline I teach my child since she's still young. Simple things it may sound but I'm sure that it will have a good effect while she's growing.

My Stepson

2009-09-16T11:14:00.000-07:00

Just yesterday, I received a call from my husband. At first I was excited to answer the call since we rarely call each other. But after hearing his news, I felt a sudden sadness. According to him his son will be back here next month.

I already met my stepson and I can say that's he's nice. But I don't know why I am not comfortable with the child. I was thinking that probably we're not given a chance to be close to each other. Or maybe, I am feeling this cause he's not my own blood?

Besides that, I am very open to say to my husband that I am really jealous of my stepson even before his mother took him away from us. My husband and my stepson were so close and my husband can forget about me and my daughter when his son is around. I'm serious with that and it's true.

I just hope that things would have changed once my stepson came back. Cause I no longer know what will I do once I feel that my daughter is being taken for granted.

Anong dapat kong gawin?

2009-09-13T17:41:00.000-07:00

Eversince I got my first job I made sure that most of my salary goes to my family. Sa mom ko, sa lola at lolo ko at sa mga kapatid ko. And now that I have my baby syempre included na sya sa budget ko.

When I got pregnant bumukod na kami sa mom ko dahil na rin sa kagustuhan ng husband ko. But my financial support still continues to my mom kahit na nga nung nawalan ako ng work I made sure na may nabibigay pa rin ako sa kanila from my own pocket. Wala na kasing inaasahan ang mom ko dahil wala naman syang work.

This May 2009, bumalik ako sa mom ko dahil na rin sa hiling nya na dun muna kami ng baby ko. Dahil hirap din ako sa araw-araw na byahe from Bulacan to Ortigas pumayag ako. I shoulder all the expenses in our house. For me that's fine walang kaso dun dahil yun naman yung set-up even before I got my own family pero ang di ko lang nagustuhan. Until now may ibang mga kamag-anak kaming patuloy na umaasa pa rin sa mom ko.

Actually, just last weekend nakapagsalita na ako ng di maganda dahil sa sobrang inis ko sa mga taong yun. Imagine, daily binibiyan na sila ng ulam ng mom ko tapos pati pa pala bigas eh sa amin pa rin. Kung minsan naman ipapakita nilang may food sila pero dun pa sa bahay ng mom ko iluluto so gas pa rin yun na binili ko pati na rin mantika or kung anong gamit sa pagluto nila eh sa amin kukunin. Tama ba yun?

Sa sobrang bwisit ko tuloy sinabihan ko sila na, "Wala naman palang silbi abhay nyo! Hakutin niyo na gamit niyo at dito na kayo tumira! Tutal lahat naman dito niyo kinukuha!" Alam ko dahil dun sumama ang loob ng mom ko. Ayaw kasi niyang sinasabihan ng di maganda ang mga kamag-anak niya pero di ko talaga napigilan.

Ngayon nga iniisip ko...ano kaya kung bumalik na lang kami ng anak ko sa Bulacan? Dun sa in-laws ko? Pero kapag ginawa ko yun mababawasan yung financial support ko sa mom ko dahil sa laki ng pamasahe ko.

Hay naku naguguluhan na talaga ako....

Thanks to Mosigor!!

2009-09-03T18:43:00.000-07:00

This ia an update of my last post about my baby. Since I really don't know what to do I bring her to the pedia and ask what's wrong with my baby. At first she says, "she look fine since malikot at madaldal si baby." But when I told her about my problem. Then she ask how does it start. So I told her the whole story...

I first notice her lack of appetite when she drink the vitamin called Macrobee. It was recommended by my cousin cause she always has sipon. According to her, when her baby started to use that vitamins she rarely got sick. At first, kumakain pa naman siya pero di na kasing gana before. It seems like, she's always busog whenever she drink the vitamins. So I decided to stop it just last Sunday.

Upon her pedia hear the story, she says, that's the culprit. She suggested to stop giving macrobee to my baby. Then she recommends mosigor since my baby is almost considered malnourished. If there's no result I need to bring her back to the pedia.

So I bought masigor and gave it to my baby. After a few minutes she asks for milk. I even utter a small prayer due to that. It seems that mosigor is my answer.

Now she is eating just the regular way she does before. Just like yesterday she even says, "mommy, jollibee!"(while pointing on the tv showing the jollibee commercial)"biye, chi joy, pen pays, chap-chap" (she mean, bili chicken joy, french fries and ketchup) That's her favorite. So I promised her to buy it today as my pasalubong since she's now a good girl and she's now eating and drinking her milk.

My baby doesn't want to eat

2009-09-01T17:03:00.000-07:00

I'm really worried now for my baby. Her weight goes down and it's really obvious in her appearance. Just last week she started to loose her appetite though she still eats daily in regular basis but just yesterday she started not to eat. Even her milk she does not want to drink. She just taste every food that we offer her. I am asking her what's wrong and if she feels something, but she always reply "nothing". I don't know what to do anymore. I've changed her vitamins already but seems it's not working still, since this morning she still don't eat.

What more can I say?

2009-08-26T23:45:00.000-07:00

I got this one from my inbox just yesterday. Honestly, I'm planning to write something about the current issues happening in our government but it seems this article says almost everything. So take a look and read this.

Column by Conrado de Quiros

MAY ARAW DIN KAYO

Tatagalugin ko na nang makuha n’yo. Kahit na lingwaheng kanto lang ang alam kong Tagalog.

Tutal Buwan ng Wika naman ang Agosto. Baka sakali ’yung paboritong wika ni Balagtas ay makatulong sa pag-unawa n’yo dahil mukhang ’yung paboritong wika ni Shakespeare ay lampas sa IQ n’yo. Kung sa bagay, ang pinakamahirap gisingin ay ’yung nagtutulug-tulugan. Ang pinakamahirap padinggin ay ’yung nagbibingi-bingihan .
Ang pinakamahirap paintindihin ay ’yung nagmamaangmaangan. Bueno, mahirap din paintindihin ’yung likas na tanga. Pero bahala na.

Sabi mo, Cerge Remonde, alangan naman pakanin ng hotdog ang amo mo. Bakit alangan? Hindi naman vegetarian ’yon. At public service nga ’yon, makakatulong dagdagan ng cholesterol at salitre ang dugong dumadaloy papuntang puso n’ya. Kung meron man s’yang dugo, kung meron man s’yang puso.

Bakit alangan? Malamang di ka nagbabasa ng balita, o di lang talaga nagbabasa, kung hindi ay nalaman mo ’yung ginawa ni Barack Obama at Joe Biden nitong nakaraang Mayo. Galing silang White House patungong Virginia nang magtakam sila pareho ng hamburger. Pina detour nila ang motorcade at tumuloy sa unang hamburgerang nakita nila. Ito ang Ray’s Hell Burger, isang maliit at independienteng hamburger joint.

Tumungo ang dalawa sa counter at sila mismo ang nag-order, hindi mga aides. Nagbayad sila ng cash na galing sa sariling bulsa at kagaya ng ibang customers ay pumila para sa turno nila.

Ito ay presidente at bise presidente ng pinakamakapangyarihang bansa sa buong mundo. Kung sa bagay, ’yung amo n’yo ay hindi naman talaga presidente. Di lang makita ang pagkakaiba ni Garci kay God kaya nasabing “God put me here.” Pekeng presidente, pekeng asal presidente.

Sabi mo, Anthony Golez, maliit lang ang P1 million dinner kumpara sa bilyon-bilyong pisong dinala ng amo mo sa bansa.

Ay kayo lang naman ang nagsasabing may inambag ang amo n’yo na bilyong-bilyong piso sa kaban ng bayan.. Ni anino noon wala kaming nakita. Ang nakita lang namin ay yung bilyon-bilyong piso—o borjer, ayon nga sa inyong dating kakosa na si Benjamin Abalos—na inaswang ng amo n’yo sa kaban ng bayan. Executive privilege daw ang hindi n’ya sagutin ito. Kailan pa naging pribilehiyo ng isang opisyal ang di managot sa taumbayan? Kailan pa naging pribilehiyo ng isang opisyal ang magnakaw?

Maliit lang pala ang P1 million, ay bakit hindi n’yo na lang ibigay sa nagugutom? O doon sa mga sundalo sa Mindanao ? Tama si Archbishop Oscar Cruz. Isipin n’yo kung gaano karaming botas man lang ang mabibili ng P1 million at karagdagang P750,000 na nilamon ng amo n’yo at mga taga bitbit ng kanyang maleta sa isa pang restawran sa New York .

Maliit lang pala ang P1 million (at P750,000), bakit hindi n’yo na lang ibigay doon sa pamilya ng mga sundalong namatay sa Mindanao ? Magkano ’yung gusto n’yong ibigay sa bawat isa? P20,000? Sa halagang iyan 50 sundalo na ang maaabuluyan n’yo sa $20,000. Pasalu-saludo pa ’yang amo n’yo sa mga namatay na kala mo ay talagang may malasakit. Bumenta na ’yang dramang ’yan. At pasabi-sabi pa ng “Annihilate the Abus!” Di ba noon pa n’ya ’yan pinangako? Mahilig lang talagang mangako ’yang amo n’yo.

Bukod pa d’yan, saan ba nanggaling ’yung limpak-limpak na salapi ng mga kongresista na pinansisindi nila ng tabako? Di ba sa amin din? Tanong n’yo muna kung ayos lang na i-blowout namin ng wine at caviar ang amo n’yo habang kami ay nagdidildil ng asin—’yung magaspang na klase ha, ’di yung iodized. Ang tindi n’yo, mga p’re.

At ikaw naman, Romulo Macalintal, tapang ng apog mo. Maiisip mo tuloy na sundin na lang ang mungkahi ni Dick the Butcher sa “Henry VI” ni Shakespeare: “First thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.” Pa ethics-ethics ka pa, pasalamat ka di nasunog ang bibig mo sa pagbigkas ng katagang ’yon.

Marami mang sugapa rin sa aming mga taga media, di naman kasing sugapa n’yo. At di naman kami sineswelduhan ng taumbayan. Wala naman kaming problemang sumakay sa PAL at kailangan pang bumili ng P1.2 billion jet. Anong sabi n’yo, kailangan ng amo n’yo sa pabyahe-byahe? E sino naman ang may sabing magbabyahe s’ya? Ngayon pang paalis na s’ya—malinaw na ayaw n’yang umalis. Bakit hindi na lang s’ya bumili ng Matchbox na eroplano? Kasya naman s’ya ro’n.

Lalo kayong nagpupumiglas, lalo lang kayong lumulubog sa kumunoy. Di n’yo malulusutan ang bulilyasong ginawa n’yo. Para n’yo na ring inagaw ang isinusubong kanin ng isang batang nagugutom. Tama si Obama at Biden: Sa panahon ng recession, kung saan nakalugmok ang mga Amerikano sa hirap, dapat makiramay ang mga pinuno sa taumbayan, di nagpapakapariwara. Sa panahon ng kagutuman, na matagal nang kalagayan ng Pinoy, at lalo pang tumindi sa paghagupit ng Typhoon Gloria, dapat siguro uminom na lang kayo ng insecticide. Gawin n’yo ’yan at mapapawi kaagad ang kagutuman ng bayan.

Sa bandang huli, buti na rin lang at ginawa n’yo ’yung magpasasa sa P1 million dinner habang lupaypay ang bayan sa kagutuman—di lang sa kawalan ng pagkain kundi sa iba pang bagay—at pagdadalamhati sa yumaong Ina ng Bayan. Binigyan n’yo ng mukha ang katakawan. Katakawang walang kabusugan. Mukhang di nakita ng masa sa usaping NBN, mukhang di nakikita ng masa sa usaping SAL. Mukhang nakita lang ng masa dito sa ginawa n’yong ito.. Sa pagpapabondat sa New York habang naghihinagpis ang bayan.

At buti na rin lang mayroon tayong sariling wika. Di sapat ang Inggles para iparamdam sa inyo ang suklam na nararamdaman namin sa inyo. Di sapat ang Inggles para ipakita sa inyo ang pagkamuhi na nararamdaman namin sa inyo. Di maarok ng Inggles ang lalim ng poot na nararamdaman namin sa inyo.

Isinusuka na kayo ng taumbayan, mahirap man sumuka ang gutom.

May araw din kayo.

How can I save up?

2009-08-26T01:28:00.000-07:00

It's not easy to earn money. We all know that! And plus the fact that we are facing global financial crisis wherein more company were having mass layoff in order to save. Then the prices of commodities continues to rise I think saving some extra money makes more difficult to me. And here's news about NAPOCOR wanting to pass to their consumer the debts they have. Oh God I think It's something so unfair.

I don't even know if there's a way to save money with someone like me who just earn minimum wage per month to support for my entire family. Yes, I might have some income in the net but that's not a regular income to consider and yet that amount is not enough still to support even my baby's needs. Well, why am I complaining?

Honestly, this isn't a complain it's more of my way to release all the thoughts in my head. Maybe I was thinking this way because in a matter of...what?...12weeks I' will then belong to the thousands of jobless people here in the Philippines. I just hope that it will not take long for me to find another job. Or else my family will starve. Hehehe! Seriously, I'm really thinking now on how I can save even a small amount of money. But every time I grab a pen and paper and calculate all the earnings minus expenses I ends up having a negative amount. So how can I then automatically reduce the small amount for my savings?

I don't know if someone can help me with this?

And the 2009 Miss Universe is....

2009-08-23T22:16:00.000-07:00

None other than Miss venezuela! this is the news that I got from this link. Well, more often Venezuela always brings home thee crown from Miss Universe pageant. Anyway, all the beauty queens in that country really has beauty and brains. Oh plus the talent they have. And maybe that is why I am betting for Miss Venezuela when some friends ask me who's my bet to bring home the crown. Though I am also hoping hat our representative will take home the crown too. Maybe not this time. But I'm sure time will come that we will have a new winner of this pageant.

How to earn from ninerniner.com?

2009-08-20T01:18:00.000-07:00

I got lot's of this questions from friends and fellow bloggers so here's my answer.
First you have to sign up and create an account with them. I believe you must really use the same name you have in your paypal account. From that you can now start blogging.

The concept of the site was simple. It's like the way we do on our blog. The only difference is that it must be original story/articles/content and you must post it in the right topic. Once it is not posted in the right topic it will be deleted and they won't pay that article of yours. Minimum of 150 words per blog post. As I mentioned they pay via paypal and they're minimum payout is $25. Most of the time they pay every first week of the month.

For me I think it's easy to earn from them since they pay $0.50 per article/blog. Your earnings will just depend on how many post you can do. So goodluck!

I don't expect this from ciao.com

2009-08-13T17:14:00.000-07:00

After ciao.com has changed i really don't expect to get any single amount from them. BEsides I don't log in to their site several months ago. Still THANKS TO CIAO.COM!

Busy Day

2009-08-11T23:19:00.000-07:00

It's tiring already!
I no longer have time to update my blog and my other personal stuff. (online earning opportunity perhaps) Besides, nakakasawa na din ang mag-assist sa mga expats. If only I can find another job hay...Anyways, siguro pasay lang ang tatay ko dito sa work dahil sa sobra siyang dependent kulang na lang eh subuan siya.
Even I myself couldn't believe how patient I am with him. He's something like a spoiled brat child and he speaks as if he owes everything and does not even know how to accept his faults. Goodness! I'm assisting him for almost seven months. But still I'm thankful cause he hasn't treated me like the way he speaks to CSR's or call center agents. If you could only hear him...ay naku I'm sure babatukan mo para matauhan lang.
Ok it's time to go back to work now...

My biggest earning from niner!

2009-08-04T18:55:00.000-07:00

I don't expect to receive my payment from ninerniner.com this early. I use to receive their payment somewhere on the 7th to 10th day of the month but now it's just 5th og August yet I have my payment. Thank you niner!

As I also mentioned in my title, this is my biggest earnings from niner since January 2009. Well, I wasn't that active posting in their site and I just post whenever I like to. Still, I feel good with $32.50. That's still a good amount.

Buhay Ibang Bansa

2009-07-22T19:13:00.000-07:00

Marami ng mga Pilipino ang nakipagsapalaran sa ibang bayan at patuloy pa ring dumarami ito sa pagdaan ng taon. Kung tatanungin sila halos iisa ang kanilang hangarin ito ay magkaroon ng maayos na buhay para sa kanilang mga minamahal. Ito'y sa kanilang paniniwalang hindi nila makakamtan ang maayos na buhay sa bansang kanilang sinilangan. Hindi natin sila masisi kung bakit nagkaroon sila ng ganoong paniniwala dahil na rin sa nangyayari sa ating paligid. Ngunit hindi rin kaila sa atin na hindi lahat ng mga nagsialis ng bansa ay bumalik na matagumpay.

Ang pangingibang bansa ay isang malaking pakikipagsapalaran. Ang mga panuntunan at batas duon ay hindi kasing luwag ng sa atin. Ngaunit kung ating iisipin bakit nagiging masunurin ang mga Pilipino sa batas ng ibang lahi kaysa sa ating sariling bansa? Ang simpleng pagtapon ng basura sa tamang basurahan ay ni hindi man lang magawang sundin ngunit sa Singapore ay kanilang iniuuwi ang basura wag lamang makulong. Hindi ba't nakakatawa? Ilang simpleng batas ba natin ang patuloy na nilalabag ng mga tao? Malimit ang mga simpleng batas na ito'y hango din naman sa batas ng bansang kanilang ninais puntahan o baka nga sila'y nakatapak na sa bansang ito at sila'y nagiging isang huwarang mamamayan duon.

Isang maling paniniwala din na ang mamuhay at magtrabaho sa ibang bansa ay malaking ginhawa sa pamilyang kanyang iniwan. Maaring tama sa iilang kung kaya't may mga taong kung makasandal sa kanilang kapamilyang nasa ibang bansa ay ganun na lamang. Na sa tuwinang tatag ang kawawang OFW ay lagi na lang hinihingan ng kung anu-ano. Sana lang ay isipin natin na hindi ganun kadali ang buhay nila sa ibang bansa. Oo malaki ang sahod nila kung ikumpara sa piso. Ngunit tandaan naman sana na hindi piso ang gamit nila sabansang kinalalagyan nila. Hindi ba't ilang istorya na ang pinakita sa telebisyon kung paano sila magtipid? Makapagpadala lang ng malaking halaga sa kanilang pamilyang naiwan.

I'm back

2009-07-19T19:38:00.001-07:00

Got very busy these days and did not any time to update my blog…By the way just to let you know…my baby is with me now. It really feels good to see her back although I am not that satisfied by how she was taken care. She has cough and colds now but I think she'll be fine.

Another thing is that I just finished my very first photobook and I'm really excited to see my work. I'm expecting it to come by the end of this week. I had it printed from Artscow. That will be my very first digital scrapbook creation.

Day 2 Without my baby

2009-07-13T22:16:00.000-07:00

I feel so sad...no little princess kissed me goodnight lastnigt still no one wakes me up with a kiss and hugs.I really miss my little princess...

Aside from the sadness that I feel I alseo feel so upset with my in-laws. I'm trying to reach them by text messages and by chatting but they did not even care to respond. Is it wrong to know what my daughter is doing? They all have cellphones and they have internet connection, besides it says they are online but why can't they just say "Your daughter is fine so please stop disturbing us." Yet they left me hanging.

As a mother I think it was just normal to be worried about her daughter especially that she's just 1 year and 8 months old. Besides she's not use to be separated from me.

I don't know if I'm just being paranoid here I think what they're doing is so unfair because if they want to see my daughter even via internet chat I let them see her but why can't they reply back to my simple questions? Because of what they are doing I've decided to get my daugther by tomorrow and I will not allow them to borrow my baby.

3 Ways To Be Happier At Work

2009-07-12T20:17:00.000-07:00

Let's face it: Few people leap out of bed excited to go to work, especially in this economy. But work doesn't need to be stressful and negative. Here are three ways to make work a happier place:

Take a different approach. It's easy to get in a rut. Avoid the work doldrums by taking on a new project or changing your responsibilities. If that's not possible, revamp the way you approach your existing work.

Lead instead of manage. Motivate your employees to get results by letting them know your vision for your group, connected to the organization's goals. Give your team more responsibility and the broader context they need to succeed.

Smile. It's simple and scientifically proven. Smiling leads to happiness. Try it.

First Day Without My Baby

2009-07-12T17:58:00.000-07:00

Last Saturday, me and my baby went to Bulacan for a visit to my in-laws. My original plan was to just drop my baby there since they were asking her to have one week vacation with them but as we are traveling our way to Bulacan I was torn between leaving her or not. I never use to be separated with my baby especially at this point of time.

Yesterday, it took me hours to be determined to leave her. I know she'll cry once she notices that I wasn't there anymore. My sister-in-law just brings her to neighbor's house so she will not see my exit. And when I was at the bus I almost want to go back and get her.

I don't want to be selfish with regards to my daughter but I don't want her to be far from me. Today, exactly0 hours since we separate I texted my sister-in-law twice just to check my daughter but there's no response. I wish she's doing fine there and I can fight my urge to go there and get her there.

Cellphone loads-longer validity expiration

2009-07-08T01:26:00.000-07:00

I've got this one from GMA News, and this is such a good news to all the subscriber.

MANILA, Philippines - Prepaid credits of mobile phones – popularly known as “load" – will now have longer expiration dates after the National Telecommunications Commission (NTC) issued new rules on Friday.

Under Memorandum Circular No. 03-07-2009, loads with higher values will have longer expiration or validity periods, the NTC said.

Credits worth P10 or lower will be valid for three days from the previous one-day expiration. Loads more than P10 up to P50 can be used for 15 days while credits worth more than P50 up to P100 will remain valid for 30 days.

Loads more than P100 to P150 will expire at the end of 45 days while credits of more than P150 to P250 will last for 60 days. More than P250 to P300 will remain valid for 75 days while credits worth more than P300 will last for 120 days.

These new rules will take effect 15 days after publication in newspapers.

Currently, a P10 load is only valid for a day while a P30 load can be used within three days. A P200 load will last for 30 days and P300 worth of credits can last for 60 days.

The credits’ validity will start upon confirmation receipt of prepaid load purchased, the NTC said.

Newly-purchased credits will be added to unused loads, thereby extending the validity of the total loads, the NTC added.

If a subscriber with an unused load of P20 buys P10 worth of new credits, the new validity period is 15 days, the NTC explained.

Accessing balance inquiry services through text messaging should be free of charge, the NTC said.

Nine years ago, the same agency issued Memorandum Circular 13-06-2000, which indicated that the expiry period of prepaid cards should not be less than two years.

The same memorandum also provides for the adoption of pulse charging – which are reportedly cheaper for subscribers – and the registration of each mobile phone’s SIM (subscriber identification module) card.

However, telecommunications companies have opposed the move and were successfully able to seek a court order that temporarily prevented its enforcement.

The case remains pending in a Quezon City court.

Also issued during the same day was a circular that tightened rules on disconnected call – or dropped call – rates to further protect consumers.

Under Memorandum Order 03-06-2009, only 2 dropped calls are allowed for every 100 calls from the previously allowed five dropped calls.

The same rules also indicate that an attempted call that is dropped before six seconds after the called party answers is not considered a call.

Blocked and dropped calls were caused by network congestion and system failure, the NTC said.

The regulator will also issue an order that will disallow “push" messages, which can be “commercial offerings, promotions, advertisements and surveys."

“Subscriptions or requests for contents and/or information shall be initiated by the subscribers," the NTC said, citing a draft circular.

Messages should be allowed only with prior consent from subscribers, it added.

Under the proposed circular, mobile phone companies will be required to keep records of all requests for contents and information from subscribers and should be forwarded to the commission upon request.

Since this year, 33 complaints regarding spam text messages have been filed against Globe Telecom Inc. while 69 were filed against Smart Communications Inc., data from the NTC indicated. All complaints were resolved.

Ten complaints of vanishing credits were submitted against Globe and six against Smart.

Last year, 136 complaints were filed against Smart, 77 for Globe, all of which were resolved.

During the same year, a dozen complaints against vanishing loads were submitted against Globe while 19 were filed against Smart.

The NTC will also issue a separate circular that will cut call rates.

Instead of charging calls by the minute, the circular will require mobile phone firms to charge on a per-second basis, an arrangement that will prevent consumers from paying for poor service and network congestion. - GMANews.TV

Lot's of Awards

2009-07-06T22:34:00.000-07:00

Hey! I'm I really deserving to all the awards? I wish I am. Just last week I received two different awards. One from Larla which is the creative mom blogger award and the other from yuuki which is the best blog award and the love blog awards and until this week I saw some fellow bloggers (golden) still giving me the awards.

Honestly, I'm really thankful for their support and for the awards they are giving my blog. I really appreciate all their effort in visiting my blog eventhough I wasn't to update it regularly. Anyway, I'll try my best to make my blog more deserving about the awards I've received.

Belated Happy Birthday to me!!

2009-07-05T23:04:00.000-07:00

Yes, right! last sunday was my birthday. As I planned and expected there are really few people who greeted me. But it's fine with me. Every year it happens cause there are only limited people who knew about my real birthday. Most people knew that I was born on April hehehe.

So how did I spend my special day? well, I'm with my family. I spend the whole day at the SM Megamall watching spongebob with my baby and the rest of the family. After that we had lunch and went to Megatrade Hall. So obviously we joined the Nestle Nutrition Event.

It was just funny cause my daughter loves all the mascot there and tries to follow them wherever they go. Too bad I wasn't able to get some pictures cause of following my baby. She even claps her hand whenever someone gave her some product samples there. But what really makes it special for her is the bag she received there cause she really wanted to have her own bag and umbrella. Lucky enough that we got both.

Basically, I enjoy my entire birthday

I'm getting paranoid on Influenza H1N1

2009-06-29T22:54:00.000-07:00

Just last Friday, midnight to be exact I really got panic. Who wouldn't? If ever you were exposed in an environment like what I have here at my workplace you will know what I am talking about. The Influenza Virus is really spreading here besides I woke up in the middle of the night and touched the forehead of my 19month old baby and even without thermometer I can say she has fever. She's really hot! I immediately make her milk and add a paracetamol on her milk so she can drink the medicines cause if I wake her up just to take medication I know she'll just going to cry.

After that I can't really sleep. I am checking her body temperature from time to time. If ever you see me that moment you'll even call me jerk cause I was also monitoring the breathing of my baby. Honestly I was almost about to cry cause it's been almost 2:00am but her temperature still stays at 37.8 degrees. i know it's not that high but I can't control my emotion and not to panic.

When my baby woke up at 6:00am, my panic did not subside cause I noticed that she also has colds. I wanted to bring her to the hospital but my mom insisted not to cause she thinks it's just an ordinary illness and not the virus that is spreading all over.

Even I followed my mothers advise I'm still worried. I'm praying that my baby does not have the influenza H1N1 cause if ever she'll have it I was the one to blame. Why? I'm working in a place where there's a confirmed cases of the virus and yet I am not sure about the condition of my superior if he's infected but that was before. Oh well, now I know his condition and I would really hate myself if my baby will get the virus cause I am a direct contact of the carrier.

Anyway, last sunday my baby got better. But I'm still not that at ease of her condition so yesterday I had her medical check-up. The doctor said that she did not have the virus yet she's having a fever cause of her tooth. the reason why she has colds is just simple as she loves water too much that anytime my mom put her eyes off my baby, my baby goes to restroom and plays with water.

Now she still needs to continue drinking the medicines that her doctor gave even she's fine. I just really hope that none of my family members got the virus.

My Scrapbooking Addiction!!!

2009-06-25T20:36:00.000-07:00

I am just new in this thing. just recently, I posted here my very first work! I'm glad that people like it. My friends and co-workers have seen some of my works and they say its good. Some even asks me to teach them I how I made those. But how can I teach them? But I still tried to demonstrate with them how I made these and to what their surprise these were just simple to do.

Honestly, I started in a trial error basis. I am just doing copy-paste command using microsoft powerpoint just to make my scrapbook. I just made sure that I have some pictures or scrapbook embelishment saved in my PC, then the rest is just simply copy-paste. Though some people advices me to use some software. But my problem is I don't know what software to use and I don't have any idea how to use such softwares. But maybe I will try to look at google which is a good software for starters like me. One of my cousin said I should also try to learn photoshop too since it will help in making my scrapbook. But sorry I'm ignorant about that thing! Though it sounds interesting to learn but the next problem is there's no free download of photoshop. (i think)

Anyways, I'm still having fun with my works and I think I will still try to put all my daughters picture in this scrapbook project of mine. I will just update you guys on my works!

July Calendar Template

2009-06-23T23:04:00.001-07:00

Here's my very first calendar scrapbook template!

Appreciate your life

2009-06-23T17:52:00.000-07:00

Just click on the image to enlarge.

I have received this email before way back in my college life and until now I am continu receiving it. Maybe it was really meant to spread to all those who does not know how to appreciate thier life and their current situation.

The thought in the picture was really right. Many people were dying without appreciating and enjoying their life. Besides they are dying to do things they wanted.

so before you forget life is to live and so enjoy life!

Files inside the memory card is not being displayed

2009-06-22T22:44:00.000-07:00

As I was thinking what to write in my blog I encounter some problem with my memory card. That one caught all my attention and I forget the topic that I am about to write.

I even made some research on the net on what went wrong with my memory card. Whenever I inserted it on my digital camera I can see the pictures inside the memory card but when I tried to connect my camera to my pc it does not show any files inside the memory card even I click on the correct path. I also tried to insert the memory card to a card reader. I clicked on the correct path again but still there's no files showing. So I really got panic.

According to some people who encountered this I should just changed the drive that I'm using but that does not help. There's someone suggested to do the disk management thing but still does not work. Even some says that my card was corrupted or I need to format it. But I don't like those ideas so I made more research about my problem.

Finally, I gave up and decided to format my memory card but before I do it I made sure that I have backup the files. So that's what I did. When I backup the files I saw all the files that I was looking for. So I checked its address and type the address on the address tab.

Finally I saw my missing files and when I checked the properties of my files it was on a hidden files so I just uncheck hidden and viola! My files was there and I solve my problem. Good thing I did not think of deleting nor formatting my memory card.

Celebrating Father's Day

2009-06-18T22:09:00.000-07:00

On sunday we will all celebrate father's day. and I'd like to greet my husband and my dad a very happy father's day to both of them.

Even though that my husband is not here in the country I'll try to call him at send him my love in this special day.

With my father...I really don't know how can I send him my greetings since we lost our communication since 2005. And I don't know were he is now. So maybe just by greeting him here will be good though it is not enough for me. Since I wanted to see him.

Anyways...Since its father's day all of us should still be happy and do some efforts in making our dad how special they are. Becuase if not with them we will not be here in this world.

There are some ways we can make this day special, such as giving our dad a surprise. Give them a mug or a shirt with a print "Best Dad in the World". I'm sure that will make them really happy. Bu if you don't have a money to spend just a simple greeting and a tight hug will be fine. That act will still make them feel our love to them.

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL THE DADS OUT THERE!

My First Digiscrap Work

2009-06-18T00:35:00.001-07:00

Actually, I love taking photo's and making a photo scrapbook. I even tried doing it digitally before but not really impressed with my work but now I kina like the result. What do you think about my work?

At Last!

2009-06-17T00:15:00.000-07:00

Finally, I'm now finished rellocating my workstation! I was rellocated from east core to north core of our building. Honestly, it was not an easy job packing your things and then putting it all out again after you are rellocated specially if you're just like me who has lots of stuff. Though I'm really glad that now I'm done. I no longer need to walk that far just to see my boss and talk to him. Another good thing about being rellocated is that my other superior will also be near to my place hahaha! I must really behave now cause they're now two and they can easily see what I am doing. But I don't think I can be stopped from doing my personal stuff specially if I don't have work to do. Well, let me just wait and see.

Proof of payments

2009-06-10T20:50:00.000-07:00

My Princess in Santacruzan

2009-06-08T17:05:00.000-07:00

It was exciting to a mom when her daughter will be in Santacruzan. Actually this isn't the first time my baby will join an event like this she also joins last year even though she's still young and just last January she also joins the Sto Nino Fiest Parade.

The gown of the princess. Actually I choose two gown, one blue and this one but since my tot loves this so I decided to get it.

Proof that she loves her chosen gown

The Santacruzan Day

Too bad she refused to join when the event starts and see the reason why.

My Observations: People Does at Work

2009-06-04T18:32:00.000-07:00

I'm sure most people who work has or been irritated with some activities of his co-workers. Or we might observed our co-workers does things that seemed not appropriate to do during office hours. Here are some of the things I observed from my past to present co-workers.

Too Late Than Never This I think is the top most observations we saw from co-workers. Well, maybe they are born from the habit called Filipino time and they are thinking that there's a grace period but even you ask them or not one of the top reasons why they came late is "traffic."

Levis 501 This is not the famous brand of jeans but I use to call co-workers that can't wait to go home. So when they see the clock turns 5:00pm they are in a hurry logging out. Funny thing is that I belong here.

The Friday Club Have you observed that there are people who still make an absent on Fridays? Yes not only student has this sickness but also the office workers.

My Sari-sari Desk I'm sure all of us experienced nor see co-workers selling different stuff and sometimes instead of seeing their desk full of paper works it does look like more of a sari-sari store cause of the things they sell.

Horror Odor While busy working, suddenly you smell something bad..Oh! Take a look who's coming! Maybe there's someone near you who forget to take a shower or has forgotten why deodorant was invented. Or maybe someone forgets that farting in public is unethical.

Boardroom Slipper I don't know why people loves wearing slippers inside the office? It was clear that an office attire must be in shoes and not slippers. So if you can't take wearing high heels then wear a flat shoes. But what's really irritating to see is some office personnel use bedroom slipper with Looney Tunes design or any characters when they are in the office!

Supply in demand Has there been a time were one officemate borrowed a pen and forgets to return it? Isn't it annoying? So what left you to do is to ask for your supply again.

It's a bad day! This is something I really hate and only shows how people become unprofessional. These are people who brings their perpersonal problems in the office and let their work become affected. Sometimes it results blaming a co-worker for a fault she/he did not commit. So if you have problems leave it at home and don't bring it in the office.

News Flash I think this list of observation will not be complete without mentioning this one. This is the person who keeps on updatng you the latest gossips in and around the globe may it be celebrity gossips or not.

Borrowed time Yes I know it is not good to see someone busy working while others were doing their personal errands. And I can say I am guilty here. So maybe before complaining him to the boss better think first. Doesn't he has workload? If he don't have something to do then let him be or might as well share your work with him.

I'm sure there are still some observations not listed here and we might also belong in some groups but what's important is we still value our work and tries to be an asset of the company we are in. Enjoy working!

Child's Alibi in Order Not to Attend Classes

2009-06-03T22:45:00.000-07:00

I know that all of us have also gone with some weak alibi just not to go to school. Now that it's school season again we can expect to hear again some of the popular alibis in order children to have an excuse to be absent. Some of these alibis were as follows:

The sleeping beauty. You are trying to wake your child early in the morning but even you're shouting on top of your lungs he/she can't seem to hear you. This is because they try to ignore you. No one sleeping can be so hard to wake when you're doing noise.

Sick Mickey Here comes the very nice alibi to use. There were some kids that says "Mom, I don't feel well." But wait after you have let him stay at home you will saw them very busy playing. Sometimes they even run and they're sweating due to constant activities they are doing. Once you hear these line it's just mean "Mom, can I take a day off to school?"

Uniform check. Hehehe, I don't know if there's someone have use this trick already but I do this when I was small. When I don't want to go to school what I do is I put all my uniform in the laundry bag so that when I the time come that I have to get dressed I can say "I can't able to attend classes cause the guard will not let me in. Look all my uniforms were dirty."

Rain, rain go away Since school days are also the season for rainy days Most of the time it rains just like now. You may hear someone will say there's no classes cause their school is situated in a low places and it was already flooded. So better check if your child school is in a flooded area or not. Sometimes kids also tend to use the rain as an excuse cause they don't want to walk in the middle of the rain even when they have an umbrella. Well, they do have a point here. Another thing they do is when you let them go to school alone they let their selves wet so that they have an excuse to go back home.

Actually there's still lot of excuses that I am hearing and observing to children these days but these four were the very common. So now once you see signs like making things too slowly it only means they don't want to go to school so let them have a break even for a day.

There's H1N1 Positive Case Here In Our Office

2009-06-03T18:03:00.000-07:00

Goodness! Here comes the one thing I am fearing of. Since the Swine Flu has been talked of the town I was being paranoid here. Imagine we are exposed here to all the foreign nationals who comes in and out of the country and once they returned here in the Philippines they did not take self quarantine or something. I know that the health professionals here are good but I really can't be sure since I have a toddler and I don't want her to get sick. Yet now there's a positive case of influenza H1N1 here in our office! Oh God! They just inform us through our daily email news and they said that the staff is now contained in the hospital. I just hope that the virus will not be spread in here.

How did I make this blog?

2009-06-03T17:42:00.000-07:00

Just want to post this topic for those friends of mine who keeps on visiting here and asks how I made this blog. But before I start telling how I come up to this blog let me thank all those Girltalk Members who keeps on supporting me and those who teaches me how to make this blog. I can say that GT has been very helpful for me not just in making this blog but in all my earning online opportunities. They are the ones who encourage me to do online earning and so far I'm loving and enjoying it

Now, let me start teaching how to make a blog. According to blogger.com there are only three steps in making a blog. First is to sign up for a google account, second name your blog and the last is designing your blog. But for me it's not that easy as that.

Before creating a blog you must know first the do's and don't in making a blog. But let me simplify the do's and don't as do mind what you write. Remember what ever you write and publish in your blog can be read by thousand of people all over the world so be responsible enough on it. Although blogging is a free environment I suggest that you don't use it to make someone miserable. Don't write anything that can hurt brutally because we might not know there might come a time that you will be sorry for what you have written.

Next step is to determine what kind of blog you will going to have. Yes you can write anything and everything in a blog but it will be more appropriate if you have a specific subject for your blog there will came your blog title. In this way, your soon to be reader/followers will easily understand the thought of your blog.

After you have decided what to blog about choose where to publish it. Most people say blogger.com is the best and easy way to start blogging. Though there are some sites such as multiply, wordpress, friendster, etc that also offer blogging facilities. Once you decided where to put your blog then you can start.

That also follow designing your blog. Actually, I am not use to designing the blog cause I'm just using the template available at blogger.com but if you're pro then you can do other template. Aside from that you can also put different gadget in your blog like chat box, blog counter etc. If you want to know how to add a chat box I also have posted here the steps.

Just remember you can only earn money through your blog by putting ads on it. But blogging does not only use to earn but merely to express oneself and to help other people. So enjoy blogging!

Boring Day

2009-06-02T18:47:00.001-07:00

It's raining and the weather was perfect to have some cup of coffee and have a relaxation but not everyone is capable of doing it this day specially those that are in the office like me. I really feel bored in here since there's no work to do. I'm just here sitting in front of my computer trying to look for anything to occupy my mind.

I did not imagine that being here in an international organization will be a boring one. Or maybe I was just a temporary staff? But I doubt it cause even the regular staff here in front of me isn't that busy as I expected before. She was just lucky that she can open her yahoo messenger and chat with her friends. Yet I can only use proxy servers to be able to chat with friends. It's just good that I still can able to visit my blog and do some entry.

Or maybe I was just assign to assist someone who does not give too much work load on his assistant? Well, I think that was the reason why most of the time I don't have work to do. But as some people say I should still be thankful of having a work even it does bores me. Besides I was even getting paid even I don't do anything in here.

Where did my baby get her looks?

2009-06-01T22:32:00.001-07:00

Actually I was inspired by the post of one blog which I followed (Larla's World) and I enjoyed using the look-alike website. Now I really can't compete with the father of my daughter cause even this site tells that ayessa looks like more of his dad than mine. Well, even all the people who knew us keeps on saying that to me.

My LDR

2009-06-01T19:36:00.000-07:00

It is very common in these days to have a long distance relationship (LDR). May it be boyfriend/girlfriend or married couple. The most common reason why one party leaves the country is for work or study purposes.

I, myself belong to the community of LDR. My partner left the country last March 2009 to work at Dammam. He will stay there for two years according to his employment contract.

It was not easy for me to adjust when he left. I don't know if it's because he was called too early than we expect or I wasn't use to separate from him since the first day of our relationship.

I remember the last day we are together before he left the country. I was begging for him not to go. I even told him that he can earn the salary offer that was given to him there. I even asked him to stay for the sake of our child but he's very determined to go. No other words can make him changed his mind. I cried to sleep that night. Until now I can't help but cry when I remember our conversation that night.

I don't know if I should be happy cause he is now earning little better than before. I'm not even sure if he's really doing fine there even though we communicate from time to time and he says he's okay though he find the work even harder than what he has here.

Or maybe I feel this way because I'm one of the reasons why he left the country. I know that even he doesn't say anything about money somehow he feels that he's not a good provider. I was earning more than he was when he's here and I know and I can feel that he don't like that way.

After three months of being alone I am trying to be strong for our child. I don't want our child be affected to the things that bother me. I need to be not just a mother to her but also a father. But how can I be strong if my source of strength is not beside me? I know I am being silly cause my partner will still come back to me after he finished his contract but I can't help myself to act this way.

If only I could pull the clocks time I would have done it before but I can't. Now, all I could do is to wait 'till he comes back to us. Spend more time with my daughter and not let me unoccupied so that loneliness will have no space in my mind.

The War Between Money and Love

2009-06-01T00:31:00.000-07:00

Ok let me blog this out in my native language to be sure that I'll be telling the right and proper words....

Alam kong madaming may problema sa pera sabi nga di ba bakit ang pera may tao pero ang tao walang pera? Hay, ilang beses ko ng narinig ang bagay na yan minsan nga nagiging joke of the town na lang.

Anyway, ang napapansin ko pa bakit ba ganun na lang kalaki ang epekto ng pera sa isang relasyon?

Sabi nga ng matatanda kahit gaano mo pa kamahal ang isang tao kapag kumalam na ang sikmura mo eh iiwan mo pa rin yan. Pangit tignan pero madalas na iyon ang nangyayari. Bakit? Hindi ko masasagot ng diretso dahil iba-iba tayo ng pananaw...Siguro isang dahilan ay mas dumarami ang praktikal sa mundo ngayon kaysa ang emosyonal. Kaya nga madalas din nating marinig ang salitang hindi nakakain ang pagmamahal. Pero mapapasaya ka ba ng pera lang at walang halong emosyonal?

Siguro nga may katotohanin din kahit paano ang kasabihang money makes the world go round pero hindi ibig sabihin ay maibibigay lahat ng pera ang ating kaligayahan. Maaring sa simula sasaya tayo kung sa anong bagay na ating mabibili dito pero paglumaon at nagsawa tayo babalik pa rin ang pangungulila.

Minsan na din akong namili sa pagitan ng pera at pag-ibig nung una ang pinili ko pera. Siguro dahil bata pa ako noon at maraming hinahangad sa mundo. Naisip ko na ayaw kong mabuhay sa hirap at gutom. Pero ilang buwan lang ang nagdaan napansin kong hindi tama ang naging desisyon ko kaya sinabi ko na hindi ako liligaya sa pera.

Oo nabibili ko lahat. Nakakapunta ako sa mga lugar na di ko napuntahan pero anong naging kapalit? Hindi ko naman masasabing na-enjoy ko ang mga bagay na iyon. Laging may kulang. May lungkot. MInsan nga pakiramdam ko hindi ako nabibilang sa mundong iyon.

Kaya ng bigyan ulit ako ng pagkakataon na pumili pinili ko ang pag-ibig. Eto ako ngayon, nagmamahal sa isang taong hindi masasabing mapera pero nagsusumikap na ibigay lahat ng kaya niyang ibigay sa amin ng buong puso. Minsan ako pa ang nagpupuno sa mga pagkukulang niya sa aspetong pinansyal pero masasabi kong masaya kahit na minsan ay kinakapos. Nagagawa kong tawanan ang mga problema. Mas nararamdaman kong mahal namin at kailangan ang isa't-isa.

Sabi ko nga ang pera hindi mahirap kitain basta desidido ang isang taong kumita. Maraming paraan para magkaroon ng pera basta gustuhin mo lang. Pero ang pag-ibig hindi madaling hanapin yan. Lalo na kung tunay na pag-ibig yan.

Alam kong madaming kabataan ang mas ginugustong magmahal ng may pera walang masama duon basta ba tunay ang pag-ibig mo sa taong iyon at hindi lang dahil sa pera. Kaya nga sinabing pag-iibigan dahil puso ang dapat pinaiiral hindi presyuhan para isip ang paganahin. Ganun pa man nasa tao pa rin yan. Iba-iba pa rin tayo ng pananaw at prinsipyo. Nawa'y lumigaya kayo sa inyong pipiliin.

Missing Fingerprint?

2009-05-28T01:17:00.000-07:00

I know this is something intriguing cause we all know that one way to indentify a person specially in criminal cases is through his fingerprints. But what will happen if the fingerprints are gone?

Yes, you read it right. Fingerprints can be gone or disappear this is according to the article that I just read. It's not because you will cut your fingers so will lose the fingerprints! But some medicines for cancer patients able to erase your fingerprints.

Actually there has been one cancer patient that has been hold in an airport due to lost of fingerprints. He was held for almost four hours in the airport due to this. To read more about the details here's the link.

My Little Angel

2009-05-27T17:23:00.000-07:00

Last night as I watch my little angel in her sleep I couldn't believe that time passes by so fast. I even remember until this day the time I first learn her existence. The feeling of excitement and fear...Excitement for the time were I can hold her in my arms and kiss her tenderly...Afraid that I might not be able to give her good life she deserve nor become a good mother to her.

I even remember the first moment that I felt her move inside my womb that makes me cry cause that moment I knew she's doing well. And everytime I try to communicate with her and she makes those tiny movements inside as if she hears and understand everything that I say to her makes me feel happy. Those little treasures we shared during my pregnancy is something money can't buy.

I maybe one of those lucky first time moms not to experience anything bad with my pregnancy nor I haven't had a time with my pregnancy and even during labor. In just one big push she went out easily. The first time seeing her and hearing her cry makes me so happy and content. I knew that she'll be going to be a strong girl.

I can even remeber how delicate she is during her first few months. I tried to capture each little moment with her...the first smile...the first eye contact...first bath...first hair cut...and all the first she can experience.

Now, after one year and six months of her existence...my day will never be complete without cuddling her though there are times she refused which ends us playing together.

I can't say that she owe me herlife instead I owe her happiness. I will never be this content and happy in my whole life without her teaching me to become one. Though she maybe a little girl but she ahs able to touched my heart and changed me entirely for a better me. Maybe that is a magic of becoming a mother. Cause you will no longer just be thinking about yourself but thinking only the best for your child.

I may not be a complete person without this little angel that God has sent me.

2009-05-26T17:12:00.000-07:00

How to add a Chatbox on your blog?

2009-05-25T00:10:00.000-07:00

I'm not the expert on this matter but I still manage to add a chatbox here on my blog with the help of my Girltalk friends! And I want to share how I manage to do that.

1. sign up for a cbox account
2. on you cbox account click on "publish" There you will see the code generator that you will use to have a chatbox on your blog.
3. click copy the code to clipboard
4. choose where you want to install your chatbox example blogger or blogspot
5. sign in to your blogger account
6. on dashboard click "layout"
7. click on "page elements"
8. click "add a gadget"
9. Choose "HTML/JavaScript", click the content box and paste your code in it by pressing Ctrl+V.
10. Save the changes.

That's simple! Though I myself have trouble doing this cause at first I really don't see the layout on my dashboard so what i do is I click on template then use the template that blogger has. This way I can now have my page element back. So I then start from step number 6 and now I got my chatbox!

The Toilet Etiquette Quiz

2009-05-25T00:01:00.000-07:00

I know most of us use toilet more than three times a day but did you know if you, yourself know the etiquette in using the toilet? Hmm some may say yes but you'll never know until you have taken the toilet etiquette quiz.

Actually I find it funny to answer the quizes since most of the questions were usual and you might think that it's no use to answer those questions but I was amazed that I failed one of the quiz I took. Yes, I do failed on the first quiz but on the second I just got 50%!

So if you think that this is just an easy quiz for you why not try to find out and have fun on taking the toilet etiquette quiz.

Quiz number 1

Quiz number 2

On Hayden Kho-Katrina Halili Scandal

2009-05-21T22:29:00.001-07:00

This has been talk of the town since it was been out in public. Well, no questions why because the video has been reproduced and even sold to public like hot cakes. Poor Katrina and also on the other girls that is involved with this scandal.

Honestly, I feel for those ladies involved in the controversy not because I'm also a woman but because they had been treated wrongly. The spreading of those video does not only humiliate them but also their families. Besides, their reputation has been dumped because of this issue.

I think we should not condemn those women nor forsake them. We should be supporting them on the crisis that they are going through. It's not easy to handle this kind of thing. Imagine, How will they act as natural as they do before when all the eyes were looking at them and some might not think good about them because of the scandal.

Maybe some even says it will not happen it they did not go that intimate with the doctor. But I think being intimate to someone whom you love is just natural act nowadays. But what Mr Kho has done is something degrading. He does not even know how to respect the ladies he went out with.

Though Kho says that filming that intimate scene with his girls has no malice is not an excuse to anyone that has been victim by this controversy. Anyone knows that once you taped and recorded something it might be out in public so why the need to tape nor record?

Sorry to say but I think Kho is very sick. Though they say that Kho admits that he is. I think if really knows he's sick then as a medical practitioner he must have consulted a professional help.

I just wonder how Hayden Kho's family reacts with this humiliating thing that has been happening? Specially his mother, grandmother, sister if there is?

Light a candle and say a little prayer

2009-05-21T01:00:00.000-07:00

Yes, that was the title of the chat room that I entered a few minutes ago. Actually naintriga ako pero when I went there I can say that I like the idea of the site. here's the link.

Nakakatuwa dahil hindi lang tayo sa simbahan pwedeng magsindi ng kandila at magdasal para sa ating kapwa kundi pati na din kahit sa harap ng computer. So kahit nasan man tayong lugar magagawa na natin ito.

So I think there's no excuse to communicate with the Lord. Actually, wala naman talagang excuse kahti wala itong site na ito. All we need is to look for a quiet place and talk to Him through our heart.

Nice to have comments on my posts

2009-05-20T20:14:00.000-07:00

it's really nice to know when someone put comments on my posts. I just wish that I will also had comments soon here on my own blog. Coz most of the time I only get comment on my post on other's blog or to be specific at ninerniner.com. Atleast if someone commented on your posts you know that there are people who read your work and you are able to share some knowledge. Though not all comments are good just like that I just got there are also some do made a nasty comment from other post that I made well, I do respect them since each of us has our own opinion. Hope they just know to respect me too. Here's another comment that I got.

Got Another Payment proof from Ciao.com

2009-05-19T01:38:00.000-07:00

It's really a great day! Just a few minutes ago I received an email and I have another payment from ciao.com. I'm not that active to the site since I'm busy from work but the site does still pays me.

Here's a screenshot of my payment proof.

Want some chocolates?

2009-05-18T23:59:00.000-07:00

Chocolate is one of my favorite comfort food. Actually, I'm not sure if there's really a study about it but everytime I eat chocolate I feel a different kind of relief. Parang I can forget all the problems. Besides it brings back my childhood. Maybe it's one reason also why my baby like chocolates too!
I don't know if I can say I'm lucky but since the month of April came I always receive different kinds of chocolate from different person. Sometimes, I eat it right away but most of the time I share it with my baby.

Like this very cute chocolate that i got just yesterday from Miss Madi. The shapes were so nice to look and at first glance you will never think it's a chocolate. Actually, someone told me not to eat those. Maganda daw kasing tignan. Funny but last night parang ayaw ko ding kainin yung chocolates. hehehe

Until now it's in our fridge. Well, i hope so!

Here are some info about chocolates before you eat some too! For
chocolate lovers.

What A Great Day!

2009-05-17T22:54:00.000-07:00

Just yesterday I have an opportunity to have one of the best bonding moments with my baby. Since she love animals, I plan to bring her to the zoo. Actually MAtagal ng plan di lang matuloy so luckily it then happen yesterday.

It was funny 'coz sa Manila Zoo ko lang napasyal yung baby ko. Actually I wanted to bring her to Avilon Zoo sana but it was far from our place besides it's a bit pricey. Anyway, she still has a good time seeing those big animals she just saw on books.

I can see on her eyes how she was amazed seeing the live crocs and other reptiles. She even dare to touch the snake and the iguana. Though a little bit scared she still manage to touch those.

I myself felt like a child again upon seeing those animals and by playing with my baby. I even remember her scream when she first goes down from the slide. And she also does not let the water activity pass.

I can't imagine that a one year and six month old will really try all those stuff. Well, maybe it's one of the characteristic of a child. They always want to try anything new to them.

After our trip at the Zoo she fell asleep inside the cab. I can see how tired she was but it was also evident in her face the fun moments she just spent witht he animals and also with us.

But if you think our day end just like that...well, you're wrong. Since it's fiesta on our place she still try to join some of the fun activities as well. She even watch and shouts when the pot is about to broken. And take note she wants to join!

Not just the hatawang palayok game but also she wants to join the Santa Cruzan. Funny! but she will really going to join one this coming weekend and the following week after but not here but in Bulacan.

It's not her first time to join since she join the Sto Nino Fiest last January. I can say she loves wearing fancy gowns so much!

DISKARTE (Guidelines on Credit Cards Paranoia): Legally Right ; Morally Wrong

2009-05-17T22:45:00.000-07:00

This is one of the blog site that I always visited and loves to visit from time to time. This site has been very helpful not just to me but also to some friends who also has problems with credit card company. BEsides the site has given me freedom not to think too much of the debts I have. Not because I don't have intentions of paying but merely because I really don't have enough money to pay them. Well, why not try to visit the site so that you can also learn how to deal with those arrogant collectors. DISKARTE (Guidelines on Credit Cards Paranoia): Legally Right ; Morally Wrong

Save Up!

2009-05-14T18:30:00.000-07:00

This is one good news to hear! In one survery it say that Filipinos save more than six months ago.

Well, I think we should really know how to save our hard earned money. It's not because of the economic crisis that was happening but iit will be for our future.

I myself try to make it a point that I save even a small portion of my salary. If not from my own salary I find ways on how to add money in my savings. Maybe that is one reason why I come up from joining some online money making sites since most of
the earnings that I got from those sites directly goes to my savings account.

One good equation to follow on how to save money is this: income minus % of savings (atleast 10%) then divide the answer to your expenses.

As I mentioned before in my previous post budgetting does helps in saving money. But before you start saving up make sure you are willing enough to save. Distinguish the reasons why you want to save money. don't save because you want to buy something because it will only allow you to save some and only for a short period.

Once you set your mind in saving up do also think about your budget. How much money you wanted to save? What are the things you're willing to sacrifice just to save? As you know saving up will going to limit your frudalent living and it will much affect your budget. So better know the things that you will sacrificce first before starting to save. But never make your health sacrifice. Don't skip on meal just to save this will only add to your problem.

Then make a time frame. Determine when will you want to start saving. But as much as possible saving up in as early time as possible is a good way to start.

Last, stick on your budget. Don't go on impulse buying. Don't also buy on installment basis cause this make you suffer for a long period only.

Enjoy!

2009-05-14T01:00:00.000-07:00

Can't think of anything now..Maybe it's because I'm puzzled...and my mind was thinking of someone whom I should not think about.

Yes, it can be called stupidity cause I should be no longer thinking of this person. But what puzzles me is why does he need to call me? Imagine after almost four years then he appeared and called me as if nothing wrong had happened! my goodness! He's even asking me out! Yeah! I know I should not be bothered by him cause I already have my own life. I have a family already and my precious baby. Infact, I should not be acting this way! But I can't help thinking the things he said to me. It's like a song that keeps on playing in my mind.

It even makes me feels so stupid cause I never recall myself not being cold in our conversation. I'm really a jerk! If only my daughter can talk she'll call be B*tch! I know I shouldn't be friendly to him and I should not entertain his call but I don't know how. I can't change my number cause I've been using it for four years and I even don't know how will I answer my husband if he ask me the reason why I need to get a new number.

This really sucks! And this really makes me feel so stupid.

Play and donate

2009-05-12T20:21:00.000-07:00

This is one site that I have known since last year and everytime I had time I always visit this site and play. Actually, the game was easy. You just need to answer the questions on a multiple choice. Questions vary from vocabulary, math, capital cites etc.

Good thing about this site is you improve your knowledge and skills yet you also had the chance to contribute a rice donation on every correct answer you got.

So let's fight against hunger and visit and play at www.freerice.com so you can donate rice for those who are in hunger.

Just a little trivia

2009-05-12T17:59:00.000-07:00

For those who is puzzled why I didn't use my name in this blog(Hope there's someone)...it's not because I want to remain anonymous but eversince I was in high school I am fond of using other names in my writings. It's just using a pen name.

Well, my ever first name to use was Pamela. Why? Because I love the way other pronounce it and it does have some special meaning in me. Sshhh! (It was my code name with my high school crush. Or should I say not just crush but my puppy love

Though other than Pamela I use to love using the name Naomi too. Sometimes I even put it together (Pamela Naomi) Even until now I am using this name not because of some special meaning but I love this one ever since I heard it. It sounds so classy and elegant. And I even feel very feminine when I was being called Naomi. Oh I wish that was my name.

Another alias that I use was Xyrylle Jamilla. This name has catch lots of attention in a chat room. I even got lots of friends because of this name. Some even fell with my spell and dares to see me in person. I don't know what's with this name but it was so memorable to me. Since this name has opened all the posibilities to me like this blogging thing and other internet ideas that I have.

Ayessa is actually the name of my precious angel. I got that name from a dictionary of names and seems that it fits her. After having found that I am conceiving I started to use Ayessa on almost everything I do. It's like having a new life.

Now, if you would ask which name will I still prefer then maybe my blog will do answer it. Happy reading!

A memory from my writing hobby

2009-05-11T23:53:00.000-07:00

since I was in highschool I am very fond of writing. Sometimes people asks favor on me. Like write a letter for them.

All I need is some background on what to write and if I get enough of it I can start writing what they wanted. though sometimes upon asking them what the letter is for I automatically grab a pen and paper and start writing while i listen to their stories.

Here is one of the letter that I made way back. I called it open letter since I often let anyone to read this.

Some people say this letter is full of pain. Well, it's up to you to decide whether it is true or not. Just want to share!

How did you manage your budget?

2009-05-11T18:57:00.000-07:00

Budgetting is not that easy to do specially if the budget is very limited. Also add the fact that the prices of commodoties is not as stable as the salary you are receiving.

Honestly I am not that good in terms of budgetting but I can say that I am getting a good grasp of it slowly. Since I manage not to exceed from what I earn. So here are some ways that I do in order to cope up with my budget.

1. Divide you salary into separate envelope. These envelopes must be for certain bill like electricity, water, food, etc.

2. Jot down all your expenses everyday. This is something tedious to do but it means a lot since by doing this you can see how wise did you spend your money in one day. You can also avoid spending too much on other things specially those that are not necessity.

3. Keep credit cards at home. Never bring your credit card where you go. In this way you can avoid to buy in an impulse specially when you are at the mall.

4. Always pay your bills on time, specially the credit card bill. This will save you from extra charges like interest charge, finance charge, etc.

5. Avoid eating out. If you are going to a grocery or mall and you don't have budget try to make sure that you eat first at home before going somewhere.

6. Have decipline. Before buying anything try to decide if it is really needed or not. Some people tends to buy stuff that is out of necessity. Also avoid buying too much lotions if you still have one. Make sure you finished the first bottle before buying a new one.

7. Don't buy something on an installment plan. Some people think this is a good way to buy things but it will only cause you problem since you can't determine if you still have the budget to continuedly pay the installment. If you want to buy things that cost a lot of money try to save for it and buy it when you have enough money.

8. If married, choose a spouse who knows to budget well and has the discipline. Make him/her manage everything. From your income to all the expenses.

9.Open a separate accounts for savings. Some people always forget to save for the rainy days which is very wrong. You must compute your budget after you have allocate the money for your saving. Having this equation (income minus savings equals amount devide to expenses)is even better.

10. Make your budget on quarterly basis. Example on the first month you have excess on the budget then add that to the budget on the following month so that once you go beyond the budget you can still have extra amount.

Hope this helps.

Reviewstream

2009-05-10T22:08:00.000-07:00

I joined reviewstream way back late last year. It's something about review, (of course as it's name was). You can make reviews of anything you want or like. They pay you $2 per approved reviews or the bulk rate of $0.40 once your reviews did not meet all the qualitfication. The minimum payout is $50, It's quite big amount and maybe it's one reason why until now I haven't received my first payout from this site. Another reason is I don't have that much idea what to review. Well, if you're interested please click here

Review site that really pays!

2009-05-10T21:00:00.000-07:00

I just recently joined the site called ciao. And luckily in just a short period I reached my first payout and just to be sure that its legit I requested my payment. Now I got my payment and still waiting for another one. It does not require lots of time to be able to reach the payout since it relies on the reviews you made and how others will rate and comment on your reviews and it will continue to earn as long as it was being rated and commented by others.

Here's my very first payment proof from ciao.

Here's another earning site that I found from one forum site. It's actually soemthing nice and it's a bit easy to earn here if you are a music lover. The site was called slicethepie.com. It does not have a referral program but allows you to support an artist towards its success. By the way the site pays in pounds so it's better than other sites. (I guess)

Ashamed of my ever first income online

2009-05-08T01:48:00.000-07:00

If you think that my first money online was from mylot, then you are wrong my very first was from orangebiz.com. Actually it was a very small amount only since I just try the site legitimacy. Besides I don't like the earning process in that site since they just offer a very small amount in clicking their ads. I don't even save the email they sent me when I received my payout from the site since it does not even reach the $1 though it was just for a weeks time only. Until now I never visited the site and yet I still receive emails from them which will pay me cents if I read those mails. Well, I never opened any mails from them anymore instead I junk all the mails in my spam folder then delete it all.

Happy mother's day!

Happy Mother's Day, Nanay!

2009-05-08T00:47:00.000-07:00

Hahaha! I wish I do have enough courage in saying these words to my mother. Yeah! I may be the person who can say anything and everything into writing but I never have the courage in uttering words like this.

Some people, no most people knew me as a fighter who speaks my mind and even see's me as their protector but it was just my other side of personality. I don't know why but I can't express my real feelings for my loved ones. Never I did say "I love you" to my mom. Though I know I am able to let her feel my love for her, I think it wasn't that enough.

I never did say "thank you" but deep in my heart I was really thankful of having her as my mother. Never did I say I am proud to be her daughter cause I never had the courage to say that to her nor to my friends. But now I want to tell all those who can read this blog of mine my message to my mother.

Dear Nanay,

Sa nakalipas na 28 taon ikaw ang aking naging gabay. Simula noong ako ay matutong lumakad hanggang sa mga oras na ito patuloy pa rin ang iyong paggabay hindi lang sa akin kundi na din sa aking anak.

Alam kong bihira tayong mag-usap ng tungkol sa mga personal na bagay dahil sabi mo nga ayaw mo ng drama. May beses man kitang nakitang umiyak pero pilit ka pa ring lumalaban hindi lang para sa iyong sarili kundi para aming magkakapatid. Alam kong hindi lang tungkol sa ating pamilya ang iyong iniyakan kundi maging sa mga maling bagay na aking ginawa. May mga naging desisyon man akong naging dahilan ng iyong pag-iyak at alam kong higit na nakasakit sayo pero patuloy mo pa rin akong sinoportahan.

Malaki ang aking pasasalamat dahil sa walang kupas mong pagmamahal sa amin lalo na sa akin. Dahil hindi pa man ako humihingi ng tawad sa mga maling bagay na aking ginawa ay ramdam ko na ang iyong pagpapatawad at pilit mong pag-unawa sa aking mga desisyon.

Nay, alam ko kung gaano kasakit ang mga maling bagay na nagawa ko sa'yo. Alam ko ding na-disappoint ka sa mga naging desisyon ko nung mga nakaraang taon. Sorry! Hindi ko naisip noon na masasaktan kita. Ang inisip ko lang ay ang sarili ko.

Dati, madalas na hindi ko naiintindihan yung mga sinasabi mo sa akin pero ngayon nauunawaan ko ng lahat. Wala kang hinangad na ikasasama ko. Salamat sa lahat! Buong buhay mo ay binigay mo na sa aming magkakapatid at patuloy mo pa ring ibinibigay sa aming anak.

Sa buong buhay ko ikaw ang nagtaguyod sa amin. Hindi ko man mapantayan ang mga bagay na iyong ginawa sana ay hayaan mo akong suklian ang iyong pagmamahal sa alam kong paraan.

Nay, madalas kong marinig na "pinagmamalaki ko si imee" at ang mga salitang "si imee ang bumubuhay sa amin"...ngayon hayaan mong itama ko ang katagang ito. Ipinagmamalaki ang maging anak mo, nay! Dahil kahit na anong unos ang dumating sa buhay mo ay hindi kita nakitang sumuko. Hindi kita nakitang gumanti sa mga taong nakasakit sayo. At hindi din kita nakitang magmura o nakipag-away.

Nay, hindi ako ang bumubuhay sa inyo. Ikaw ang bumuhay sa amin at patuloy na bumubuhay. Ikaw ang dahilan kung bakit kami nandito sa mundong ito.

Sana kahit hindi ko madalas o ni minsan ay hindi ko sayo nasabing mahal kita ay naramdaman mo ang aking pagmamahal sayo.

Happy mother's day, Nay!

Salamat sa pagiging ina sa amin at sa aking anak!

Beware of Scams!

2009-05-08T00:31:00.000-07:00

This is something isn't nice. Being scammed. After all the hardship you have done in a certain site you will just knew you were scammed when they failed to pay you the amount you earned. Though there are some ways to see if the site is scam. Just try to google the name of the site and add the word scam. There you will see lots of list of scam sites and there are also some blogs about the sites you are looking for. The people will then tell you if it is paying site or not. Another thing is that when the offer of the site was too high which seems so good to be true then you must be careful cause in online earning there is no such easy money. You need to work hard before getting paid.

For the list of scam sites try to visit squidoo.

Goodluck on your earning!

Female Network (Though males are also welcome)

2009-05-04T17:53:00.000-07:00

It was 2008 when I started to get active in using the internet. At first I just use it as for my chatting and surfing only. The boredom from work does push me to search the net. Upon searching I bump into this site called femalenetwork.

Femalenetwork is such a nice site. It's not just for all the female but also welcomes males who wants to share anything and everything they wanted. It is actually a forum site. We can even dicuss almost all the topics that comes into your mind. All the member were very supportive to each other. It seems that all the members were close friends.

I still do visit this site until these days. But I am not that active anymore since my work is not the same as before. Though I still had lots of things to thank about this one great site. Maybe in this blog of mine I will mention it all one by one. So if you want to join our community you're still welcome!

What Does Internet Technology Gives

2009-05-04T17:35:00.000-07:00

Internet does really helps people in a lot of ways.

It gives us knowledge and even able to share our own knowledge with other people. Students are well used in reseaching the net in order to gather necessary data for their papers.

Through internet we also able to connect with our friends by chatting and some other community sites such as friendster and facebook and even gain friends with these sites.

Some people do make their business with the use of the internet. There are some that sells online, promotes products, and some other works like those that were found in the office. Actually this is one of the trend nowadays. This is mostly known as hombased jobs. Actually I am also enganged into this kind of thing. In my next post I will try to tell/share all the sites that I visit and does really helps me.

Me and my blog

2009-05-04T01:11:00.001-07:00

This is not the first blog that I created. Actually, I started to do blogging two years ago but I ended up deleting my blogs. Why? Maybe because I wasn't satisfied with the posts that I made. Or maybe because i really don't know what I am doing during those days. But now I am trying to start a new one. Hopefully in this blog I will be able to post anything and everything that i really wanted to say and share to everyone.

Though I am not that good in composing articles and stuff but I will still try to write all my ideas on any topics that goes in my mind. Or even anything that is being the talk of the town now. Primarily this will be my outlet of my opinions and views.

I just hope that in this very little way I can able to help and share something to someone that will read my blog.
