Action Packed
By admin | July 24, 2008
Prod Support role is for me result-driven - in MINUTES hehehehe. Initiatives for improvement (on top of your responsibilities). This morning, it was action packed! The reason why Im offline at twitter.
I resolved 2 rare tickets today. This is it for me, enjoying it! Can you imagine, enjoying it as much as eating chocolate hehehehe.
Im not sick. OK.
SORRY ABOUT YOUR TAGS. I suck at it, Ill try to make it as soon as this page wouldnt be on page 2. =P
What’s new about me? Nothing. I go home early as always for the kids. Yesterday, i went home an hour before our dismissal as my cousin is feeling sick!!! She cant get up and im panickin about my kids. Hayy life. this is so nervousness.
I just feel inspired at work…how much effort I put into this is no biggie….parang this is the first time I felt TRUE accomplishment???? SElf-motivation comes second na lang.
Hehehe.
Sana hindi magbago. At maka survive ako sa 1 year itch ko sa work lols.
Si Voldemort laki talga ng pinagbago.! Prayer works! hahaha

Jacob
Still naughty and brat. He knows he is the baby so he gets his way more often that not.
Last night, he was on time out. He was naughty! Kinagat na naman si andrew out of the blue.
Since nothing works, I tried Time Out. Face the Wall.
It worked!!! I told him not to turn around or do anything just face the wall. After some minutes he was crying,… mama hirap! mama! waaaaaaaaaa…..
Bwahahahaha. Then I gave in! Naman!
Here at work, I tried to create a unix script to alert us every error, SMS alert will follow.
Im so good at this! I hate it. bwahaha.
4 years din ako di nag program anuh!
May laman pa pala utak ko. ![]()

Speech and then Some
By admin | July 21, 2008
I have read in the daily newspaper being circulated here for free how Pope conveyed his message to the people at Sydney, those swarm of people who attended the World Youth Day. Im not sure If I understood him correctly or some parts of his message to the people, one thing that I dont ever want to comment or somehow disagree with Him in some way.I am a little disappointed about how he wants to address the issue on this whole earth. Come on, Be realistic. I just dont like it when he seems to make the people believe that his parting message would or COULD solve the problems of this earth. It isnt really that awesome for me, you know.Instead of focusing on unity, racial discrimination, love, forgiveness..he goes far away from the topic of being a Catholic. Those sexually abusive clergies? Issued apology?? Meaning guilty??? I think he issued apology to the wrong crowd…Or was it even proper? What happened to the circulation of Popes message to the church???? Not all of them are published…He came out telling everyone about this solution to Global warming, what else, materialism. It’s like materialism didnt exist way before Jesus Christ.Im not at all impressed.I was there during WYD 95 where Pope John Paul II was still the pope. I love him to bits…maybe he was just way too different with Pope Benedict now.Uh well. I’ll better stop HERE.

Aggie Wants to Know
By admin | July 19, 2008
How’d your first six months go? And what are you looking forward to the next six months?
I will finish this post by today.All I can think of at this moment is, we were here without notice. Everything just turned out to be the way that I didnt hope for during the 6 month span. But it got us here…there’s no way we can predict the future. Whatever lies ahead, I just say I’ll go. I’ll Face it, coz life is short! Planning doesnt work sometimes though=P
January - The purchase; and some hellish eventsJanuary marked our planned purchase of our lot at (Oh my God, I forgot where our lot is) Laguna. Alpha help hahaha! Junn was travelling at the same time and I am left with the boys at home. January marked my anniversary again at HP. This time Im thinking of moving on =). Enjoying my paid blogging earnings at this time of the month coz I got my PR! Started the whole year with lots of hatred too because this was the time I faced J’s aunt and brought hell in this planet.
February - Not determinedThings just got out of hand and control. My Singapore offer happened at this month that I literally delayed it after a month haha! I cannot decide completely about it, remember? I felt saturation point already at my work and that’s one thing that I couldnt deal for a long time. I adopted a kid at World Vision and sponsor her studies for 1 whole year. I am still undecided about the offer.
March - Exodus Like Aggie, we were almost at the same boat where she actually planned about her own exodus months ago. Unlike me, It came as a surprise =) There was no turning back and I gladly accepted the offer. We strategized and planned our move a day after the other and started to sort out all of our things and gave the needless to my cousins. I said goodbye to HP at the last week of March and flew to Singapore together with my husband. IT was the hardest as I left my kids in Manila.
April - Settling down - started with my new work here; J was finding work and eventually landed a job for less than a week. He resigned from his work! He flew to Manila and brought the kids over. =) My birthday gift was to be with them in a short time, my wish was granted. We found our flat and we were still in the process of settling down. 2 weeks after I flew, the kids followed. This was the most stressful month as we already ran out of cash to support our life here, but GOD is good. He provided. =) The demonic aunt strikes again….and you know the rest of the story =P It didnt change, but this time around I exhausted all my efforts and energy to let her stop! It ended! Never heard from her again! Our Bohol trip didnt push through.
May - Start of our new life Junn already started with his new work after more than 5 years from his former work…it was a blessing. The adjustment phase kicked in at this moment. Deal with yaya matters; Rebooked a lot of tickets; purchased ticket of my cousin whom Im sponsoring as Yaya. Her work permit got approved, I was happy. Things are doing great as it is…There were times I feel low and missing Manila =P.
June - Still Adjusting ; Andrew goes to school for the first time, it was hard during the first few weeks…The new yaya has come; my aunt went home; her work permit is claimed and everything was perfect. My 3rd baby left in Manila celebrated his 1st birthday without me waaaa (Altis that is haha). I miss the car huhuhu. …..Storms did come and go and now its clear skies for everybody.

It’s Friday
By admin | July 18, 2008
Once again, the happiest day of the week is here.
Im hitting Orchard later in the afternoon if we will be dismissed early because it’s a DnD day.
This weekend, we will go to JB as my friend invited me together with her kids. I dont know much of the agenda of the whole day affair but I just said Yes im coming with the boys. So they can see another place on this boxed earth.
Then…..Im trying to accomplish something this weekend and I forgot what it is. Ah I see, I need to buy new clothes as my clothes are kinda small (im having this tightened feeling that I could hardly breathe). Yes, Im gaining. I look Fat in the mirror. As you all know, i have no weighing scale at home. So there! I want to buy a weighing scale!!!
I will try to chart and map how to make a girl baby, or fraternal twins like Brangelina. Hehehe.
Thats what boredom can do on a weekend.
If we go to all places here then we will be stucked forever.
I wish we can travel Manila by land. bwahahaha.

Topic No. 1: Life After the Wedding - the Married Life.
What are the things you want them to know about life after the wedding?
Ha. I wouldnt tell. Bwahaha.
It’s a leap of faith. Every single day that both of us went through after the wedding was like a blur.
We stayed at our apartment and kept shuttling back and forth to my moms house. He was always on-shore for three years, so there was never a perfect timing for us to ‘adjust’ completely to each other as husband and wife. Knowing what needs to be known is still a work in progress. There were a lot of disagreements, petty fights and ‘leaving’ from one house to another. Calling it quits did come a lot of times. I wouldnt tell how many times bwahahaha. In short, it was CRAZY.
However, the thing called marriage withstood a lot of pressure and problems for the two of us. You can never know a person too much no matter how many decades you have been together, because as you can see — people change!
I feel annoyed most of the time. I feel like my so-called independence was thrown out of the window. Say babye time for yourself. Then 2 kids came along, who wouldnt ‘behave’ when there are 2 kids now who are keeping us busy…attention was diverted from fighting to the babies.
Later on I started to ask myself what in the world Did I ever get myself into? =)
Marriage, I still dont know what lies ahead. We are still starting to ‘build’ our relationship. When we went here, we became independent we started from scratch. We have no money to begin our family life together. We fought because another adjustment came. Ours was a LOVE-HATE relationship you see. There’s this flame that no matter how much we start to get on each others nerves again, time as it goes by, we start to learn our lesson. We become appreciative of all our efforts. Our setup now is so much different from before. We both worked from home. He never had overtime as our house was his office. Here, he is always OT. GRRR. Now its different we have to work on our schedule and activities for self and family. It’s a big adjustment I tell you. Can hardly keep my head above water… this is it. This is the real thing.
I think the important thing that we are missing here is ‘Acknowledgment’. Acknowledge when one of us did something wrong. It’s not so easy to say Im sorry I was wrong. It’s much easier to point finger and then what, do nothing. I can be a very forgiving person you know, just acknowledge and then im going to be fine. The battle lies in actually saying SORRY to one another. I found it easy before, but now, Im not sure. {Marriage Counselling, anyone???}
So this has become a diary. Sorry. =P
So for the last two weeks, Ive been calling him Housemate. Not until he fix his own schedule then he will remain a housemate to me.
Were still adjusting but almost there.

Whew sorry for not updating, i am just swamped with work. You know that when you like your job? You like what youre doing? That you feel it’s becoming a hobby??? COz youre enjoying it??? LOLS. Honestly, I like what Im doing…I get bored easily you know?! My boss after updating our application roster, i saw my names in every application there. I was like was that a mistake? Why is my name plastered in all areas? =P It shouldn’t come as a surprise coz you know, i am really working hard for our living here. First time ko magtrabaho ng magbanat ng buto ano! Haha joke =P Then my boss came up to me and told me please train our new staffs when they come over. OK. All that he requires me to do i just said OK. I can do it. Never pa naman ako nagreklamo sa pinapagawa niya sakin (kasi lahat yan may kapalit bwahaha). Anyway, after that. I was kinda shocked when he came up to my table again and asked for the papers that I want him to SIGN. Usually, I always go to his table to let him SIGN. Then after signing he told me, Youve been working really hard and I appreciate all your efforts for the team. I appreciate it. Youre doing a great job. All I can say is ‘Thanks’
So there, my hard work didnt go unnoticed. Coz if you know Voldemort, his expectations are quite HIGH and he is hard to please, he isnt approachable or goody goody! Voldemort nga eh… Uh well, seems like his defenses are finally conquered??? Bwahahaha.

Mom is coming over
By admin | July 13, 2008
My sister finally booked(?) my moms ticket going to Singapore. She is scheduled to fly out of US on August 4 if im not mistaken.I have been wondering why my MOM cant live US-life that long (dude shes been there like 3 months only!)???She wants to be mobile. She feels bored! Nannying her grandkids….I told her she’s going to do the exact same thing when she comes over! Bwahahaha.I guess she will enjoy her stay here for as long as I can remember…she wants an active city! Where she feels mobile and busy! Visiting malls!She can never be wrong staying here…(oppps may hidden agenda ako dito hehe ).Now I need to execute her dependents pass so she can go and visit here as long as she likes. She can go home to Manila and return as she pleases.Mukhang mahal nga lang ang talent fee ng nanay ko.

Mortgage
By admin | July 12, 2008
Sometimes its really hard to balance our budget if we have some mortgages to pay like house and car. If ever I feel cash strapped in the future paying our mortgages I wouldnt have to think twice about going to mortgage lenders. It eases our financial woes and they can advise on what to do and how to survive with having to pay so many mortgages. Life is really hard nowadays.

Inflation
By admin | July 12, 2008
Inflation is at all time high everywhere. When we shop we should think about watching the prices that we are buying. As a consumer we need to know if we can do without some items on our list. Inflation is bad here too you know. The government is doing their best to make the ends meet to those low-income families. I wonder if I should have a Phentermine sometimes it doesnt work for me, you know? Watching what I buy???

I love visiting Sony stores here. Do you know that we are such Sony fanatics? Almost all of our things are bought from Sony. I would have bought a sony vaio you know! Im thinking of buying one this September :P. Everytime I visit their store I always drool on their LCD tv mount. I imagine if we have Sony LCD with that mount, wow I can stay here forever. Now back to reality!

Booze
By admin | July 12, 2008
Ever wonder why some of my friends put on a lot of weight when working here is because we always schedule for some booze time. Have you seen a beer pong? I bet that would be great for some tete-a-tete. It’s really a good time catching up while having some booze and lots of food on the table. Can’t help but eat a lot right. Sometimes loneliness just really sucks that we have to find an outlet.

Well have you seen the promotional pens being offered anywhere near your place? I miss the bookstores in Manila. Here, I see few big bookstores like the ones there. I miss reading. I bet it costs double here. Waaa! Now that;s frustrating.

Golf

When my friends and I went to Bintan for a vacation, its so nice to see a golf course surrounding our resort. We have our own buggy to transport us to and from the main beach. That’s why I am interested what Callaway golf clubs look? I have seen some men sporting golf clubs and they look really cool. I bet this sport is quite expensive and addictive at the same time.

There are so many things I wanted to buy for this flat but everything is just too much. For example I thought of buying a new king sized bed but where should I place it??? I wanted to buy lots of storage cabinets but I have plenty here. It could be a good thing since we can save from buying stuffs but I think I need a Schlage because the boys wont stop riding our door knob swaying back and forth. It drives me crazy.

Weekend is here again and we are so busy cleaning the whole floor, laundry, changing sheets. Which reminds me to buy more bolster pillows and bedsheets for the room. I want to paint our room RED! Since its not ours I still need to get permission from our landlord. I wish I can visit Wilmington real estate so in case in the future, if we have enough funds to build the house then painting wont be a problem anymore.

Something to ponder
By admin | July 9, 2008
Im sure youve read this topic at N@W…If only I have enough time to write my answer na gumagana ung utak at puso?!Pero eto lang ang sasabihin ko.Wag mo pilitin ang sarili mo kung ayaw mo. Simple lang. GO back to basic. Parang mag ABC ka, alam mo ang kasunod, kaya mong sundan. Pero kung ayaw mo mag ABC, tulad ng ginagawa ng ibang bata..eh di iba ang i-recite mo.On to the topic. I got married because I wanted to raise a family. Family = having kids. That’s what I KNOW. By default, a family consisting KIDS.I wouldnt have to equate it to no kids, coz you know? nasa bible naman yun. And i nver questioned my capacity of being a good guardian or nurturer to my little ones.The desire is SO STRONG FOR ME to not hold off for a YEAR or another YEAR just to enjoy each others company as husband and wife. NO. I got married because i wanted to have kids right away! =P Without a doubt!If you have doubts, and your financially calculating things (to which I dont agree calculating kids = money darn what kind of a thinking is that????) calculating?! I know everything in this world needs to be calculated…pero I dont understand equating KIDS to MONEY as EXPENSE to be brought out into this world. Ano nuisance?? Gosh?! Blessing ang mga anak ko sakin.Maraming maraming blessing ang dumating sa buhay ko because of my kids…so NO, i dont buy that statement. I often raise my eyebrows to people who have not been there YET, pero nauuna pa mag calculate. Bakit sure ka ba magka kaanak ka right away????If its not for you, then by all means KNOW that its not for you. Choose to live your life to which you are TRULY happy. Na wala kang doubts na HAppy ka na wala kang anak forever! If it becomes a calling, at matanda ka na, at di na kaya ng powers mo, dont say I regret not having one. Kasi masakit yun, kung ready ka tumanda magisa, dahil ung asawa mo mamamatay rin naman,… magaasawa ka ulit??? why not???!Basta responsible parents would never say I REGRET HAVING MY KIDS. There are some na walang kwentang pabayang magulang dahil walang amor sa mga anak, eh yun ang tinatawag nating walang CALLING at nagpabaya! Tama kayo, magisip kayong mabuti bago kayo maganak…dahil di na pwedeng isoli! Wala ng time out!Kung selfish ka, wag ka maging isang ina! Di ka pwede sa larangan na to!Hehehe! di ako galit! nag eexplain lang. Itutuloy ko to pag may time ako hehehe! Continuation,If in case you ask kung ano ang kawalan kung hindi kayo magaanak…well sasabihin ko…malaking kawalan. Alam mo bang once naging nanay ka para kang kasama ka sa isang malaking fraternity ng mga kababaihan na may anak. Alam niyo naiintindihan niyo ang isang hirap ng pagiging isang magulang. Given na yung pagiging mas naging MABUTING tao ka dahil sa mga anak mo. May transformation yan., at di mo yan malalaman kung hindi ka magiging isang nanay. If you feel na mahal na mahal mo na asawa mo, think again, wala pa yan sa kalahati ng pagmamahal na kaya mong ibigay sa mga anak mo, in that case di ka makakarelate what TRUE LOVE really means =P. In the Truest sense of word LOVE means being able to care for your child..ibang level ang pagmamahal sa asawa noh?! Kaya kong di makasama asawa ko, anak ko, ewan ko lang lols!Once I became a mother, I have this inner strength in me na hindi mawawala? No matter how TOUGH the situation is, I still face it head on…with lots of courage and commitment! Kasi? May mga anak akong kelangan isipin at alagaan. The INNER STRENGTH na yun di yun mawawala parang kasama mo na yun lagi na kahit anong mangyari STRONG ka. Iba ang feeling na may NANGANGAILANGAN sayo more than your spouse.And oh by the way, if youre happy now na magasawa lang kayo, =P eh di ko na sasabihin kung gano naman ako ka-happy ng nag ka anak kami! Ibang level na yun, ma attain mo lang yun pag andun ka na hehehehee!Ibang mundo ang ginagalawan ng may anak. Mas complicated pero mas masaya. Mas challenging, never boring!Mahirap sa mahirap pero kung gusto mo mas MAGING masaya ka, mas Maging mabuti ka, eh isa lang ang sagot ko diyan. Maging isang magulang ka =)Napahaba na to…marami pa sana akong sasabihin kaso lowbatt na tong bebe ko. Next time na lang ulit .

Kwentong Ewan
By admin | July 8, 2008
I am so immersed with my work each day that I forgot some Minor tasks set aside due to prioritization. That I barely noticed my boss (whom i call voldemort by the way) presence around my cubicle. Sometimes I cant sense his dark presence you know. I am just so USED to working alone when all of a sudden I have now my boss who micro manage us all. It’s somewhat good and bad as I am not ready to be micro-managed. He walked up my cube and called me “can you give me 5 mins?” he asked.”Sure”. I replied.Pls come at my table…tada! There was an open email ready to be sent out.He wants me to review his email and highlight to him the ‘errors’ of his email.I was like WHOAA MEN I AM PROMOTED NOW. I am officially, his secretary! LOLS.Honestly, WTH? Do i look like a boss-pleaser?????For whatever its worth, I corrected a part of it (me on his chair, using his laptop). That i was literally staring blankly at his email not understanding anything. I just want to get it over and done with. I FEEL PLEASED and pissed to be disturbed. BWAHAHAHA.To the bat cave!

Two weeks from now one is coming for the team, next will be 2 weeks after the first one arrived. Sounds great! and amazing!As promised, I took my boys out today and we headed to Jurong Bird Park! =) It was rainy the whole day…still we managed to enjoy.

This is a quarterly activity. The activity and place varies.
So this is the first time I attended it. It was named:A search in the Park. Dude, it wasnt a Search in the Park at all. It was a MARATHON in the park!
We were at Singapore Botanic Gardens (wow this place is quite huge!!!! and very good place to relax! I swear!!! I will bring my kids there in the future - ASA!). Really, if you have time I know many of us havent been there yet, nung nakapunta kami parang WOW maganda pala dito LOLSSSSSSS.
Anyway, the activity lasted for 2.5 hours and dang…I nearly crept out of singapore botanics due to exhaustion! I was panting and sweating under the sun!!!! We need to find the MAP of the place and complete it under time pressure. As ive said the place is so hugeeeeeeeee…..grabe….. talaga…….. I was the only girl in our group. Gusto ko ng magsabi pwede magpahinga hehehehe! Meet u there! bwahaha.
Hay naku let the pix speak! hehehe!

Wala lang nalulungkot lang ako sa araw na to. Di ko maexplain kung bakit ganito tong laptop ko nagsusulat naman ako ng maayos. Naka paragraph, pag pinost ko na gulo gulo na. Wala sa ayos. Pasensya na sa mga nagbabasa.I feel dysfunctional. Everything I do I feel like it is half-baked.Hindi naman ako magaling sa larangan ng pagiging Ina. Minsan talaga naiisip ko no matter how much I tried kulang pa rin. Kulang lahat ng effort na binibigay ko. Hindi rin ako mabuting asawa. Nakukumpara ko ang sarili ko sa iba, wow sobrang layo! Parang ibang level yung iba, hindi ko kaya gawin yung mga ganun. When everything seems half-baked, and I feel tired being in a rat-race…tell me what to do? Sometimes I feel like living my life FULLY as in living the “Life is short” mantra. It seems to work and NOT WORK too you know like today.Im tired of the journey. I just want to get there fast and furious.Ganun, gusto ko lang lagi may shortcut. Easiest meron ba, sige dun ako. Ayaw ko ng nahihirapan noh?! Bakit sino ba ang may gusto ng nahihirapan?!!Tanga naman nung taong gusto niyang nahihirapan siya lagi.

Andrew loves his school
By admin | June 26, 2008
After Day 2, the teacher said that he only cried when we dropped him outside the ‘gate’.
Though he still cries a bit when we drop him, he was doing generally okay inside participating, eating a lot, playing and teacher always tells me every morning “he is a good boy”.
Every afternoon, I call him up as soon as he gets home…he sounded really ‘okay’ and ‘excited’. oh by the way the school is just located at the back of our flat. 1 Minute walk mind you! hehehehe!
Waking up in the morning is not a problem. He gladly wakes up and bathes timely coz in the morning I drop him to school before I go to the office. He wears his water jug and his backpack. he looks so cute…no pix yet wahahha.
As we get nearer, his foot steps becomes heavier…and slower….hahahaha….then I’ll try to stop 10 meters away from the gate so i can say bye bye with kiss…then he gladly walks up the gate, when he turns around he cries na hahahaha!!!!!!!! naglalakad naman papunta sa gate diba??? =P
It still breaks my heart to hear his cry, but I know he will be fine.
I got a full-time pre-schooler. This is it!
