CaNceLLed pLaN
over the weekdays, my colleagues had been planning to go to our officemate's house (mier's house) to spend the saturday night. the plan was to have dinner there and sing our hearts out since they have videoke...(at least libre!) yesterday after shift, i was already planning my costume and all that for the big night. as in! but an unexpected argument between kenn and I happened after we had dinner at my Mom's house.( this was around 6pm) and i hate it. i hate it when we don't agree on something. (can't write the details >> too personal) anyway, we agreed that he won't go to work so we can both go to mier's house to join the rest of my colleagues. it was almost 8pm and we still can't decide. grrrrrrrrrrr. natty >> my officemate, was already texting me, and because i wasn't sure yet, i asked him to text gwendee >> another officemate, so they can meet up and just go to mier's house ahead. at the back of my mind that night, "i will really go there no matter what." but still i ended up not going. -sigh-i had to look after shane and kenn just decided to go to work. wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh i don't know what i have missed for the little gathering and am sure i'll be catching up with all the chika! to gwendee >> am so sorry gurl >> i will make it up to you to natty >> the same >> i hope i can make up to both of you PS: i found out later that night that Gwendee and Natty met up in MacDo Escario and they were also having second thoughts of going since duha lang sila. I was hoping I was there.
On the lighter side, I was able to spend sometime with my little girl and put her to sleep last night while we were watching Dora the Explorer!
my BroTher's BdaY

it's my brother's birthday today and we started off cooking and preparing a good meal for everyone. Mark Andrei Javelona - - my half brother. He is 12 years old now and will be graduating fro
m elementary this March. Wish you all the best Bro.anyway, as i write this entry, i smell like a grilled pork! yummmmy! we just finished eating breakfast. we had "nilagang baboy" and grilled pork. as in puro jud baboy, and daghan jud kaau xa...
so gudluck to the high blood pressure!
happy bertday Mark! God Bless always. we love you.
am i talking too much?
and about a minute have passed....wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
can't make it, can't do
it. even if i don't talk, my mind keeps on talking, dunno if this is the right term or should i say thinking. whatever...i feel that if i don't talk, i will hyperventilate and eventually die (am exaggerating a bit)
on the lighter side of it, i believe that my talking helped me to get where I am right now in my life. there are advantages but we can't get a way with the fact that there are also disadvantages that comes with it. at least, i always try to be tactful. even if i am sometimes irritating because I am talkative. i just remembered, when i was in elementary, my classmates, even my relatives, teased me of getting an award as the "most talkative". if everyone was getting awards like "most punctual" "most religious" "most helpful" --- then mine would be different. hehehe
anyways, i can always learn to master self discipline. in the meantime, i am enjoying the benefits of my being talkative.
IMMATURITY...HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU?
i admire people who have the courage to speak up their minds and express what they feel, but what if your thoughts are already offending other people? would this still be admirable? -sigh-
it is very hard when you are dealing with people who don't think and act the way they are supposed to. it 's hard when you are always the one expected to understand and give way for people who have always reasons for themselves to demand being understood. i hate it.
i call them immature! they are the one who can't make up their minds, defend themselves illogically, and believe that they always have an excuse to be different, alone and mysterious!
reality bites? well, i might sound rude but this is the reality.
i just believe that when you are mature enough, you accept things as they are, deal with them and don't give justification to your unethical actions.
Growing up might be hard but fighting oneself against immaturity I believe is just easy. As long as you are determined and willing to accept change.
so how does immaturity affects me at this point? -sigh-
of Princesses and Fairy Tales
every little girls dream of becoming a princess and living in a fairy tale. i was one of them w
hen i was little. i had this ambitious dream of becoming a princess, wearing a pink princess gown, a crown, a nice pair of shoes and all the glittery jewels in the whole fairy tale land. again, it was ambitious. hehehe.
my little shane shane is the same. when she started watching princess stories such as Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella, she had never stopped telling me s
he wanted to become one of them. every time we go to the department store, she would always scream and shout when she sees any of them. i didn't wonder at all. her eagerness could be more than what i had when i was little but we share the same ambition. -like mother like daughter!-
until she will get older and realize that it's hard to live in this kind of dream, i will let her keep on dreaming. i believe that anyone, everyone can always trance on being a princess and this belief had helped me in becoming who I am today, in what way? I can’t explain. All I know is that as long as you hav
e your dreams and ambitions in life, you don’t give up reaching them.
On the other hand, I have already found my prince charming and I am positive that both of us will live in a happy ending of our lives.
For my baby shane, she will always be my Princess, and when she finds her true Prince, I will be there for her, no matter what.
Because of Them...

when i was little, my mother left me in her care until i grew up. i was with her until the time i had my own family. i remember the times when she was still younger, she won't get tired of making sure I am able to eat 3 times a day, take my vitamins and be happy with my childhood despite the fact that I was born out of wed luck. everytime i get sick, she would always buy medicine for me, even if it means giving way for her own needs. everytime i wanted something, she would always find ways to give it to me, even if it means borrowing money from other people. i was favored. i was loved. i was always put on a pedestal by my grandparents who looked after me ever since.
when my grandfather died, i was already working. but i felt that what i had given him was not enough to at least pay off his sacrifices for me. i remember him telling me how she convinced my Mom not to abort me..."i told her (my mom) not to abort you. i told her we will take care of you no matter what as long as she will let you live" i was teary eyed when i first heard that story. My Mom was 20 years old then and liberated.
i was with my grandparents' care until i had my own family.
even up to now, my grandmother won't fail to surprise me. at one point, i was just surprise to find out that my baby was already eating a whole bunch of banana from her, even if means not getting profit from it. she gives it for free. at one point, she will sneak 200 pesos in my pocket when i was sleeping despite the fact that i have a stable job and well compensated. i just woke up with the money in my pocket and later finding out from my sisters that it was her who did it while i was sleeping in the couch. (i sometimes sleep in my Mom's house). these little things surprises me. these little things touches my heart and how thankful i am to have grandparents like them.
i know that i have become who I am because of their unconditional love and support.
Love You Mama and Papa.
short notice...

when i arrived at the house early this morning, i wasn't expecting to get a short notice from my supervisor that i will be doing a Quality Talk with a new hire class for a particular LOB. although i was hesitant at first, i nodded and took it as a challenge. on the other hand, i am not that super confident with the LOB i am going to have chitchat with later on. although i can say that i know the work around in doing the evaluation for their LOB because i have tried doing it the previous months, still i am not confident i must admit. but then again, like all the others always say, "let's be confident when facing them, and when they turn their backs, that's the time we get panic!" lol
anyway, i have my other colleagues with me who are experts in this field. -sigh-
i was just caught up with the short notice, knowing that i went off from work late today and haven't slept well yet. am crossing my fingers. hehee..but then again, i have done this before...why should i get nervous? it's just that i don't want to face the agents unprepared. i don't want them to have an impression that we don't take them seriously.
anyhow, it's what i do best. lol. Quality Talk!

TrEaSureS in LiFe

they are my treasures in life and i won't trade them for anything else. i will fight for them no matter what it takes, even if it means hurting my self or sacrificing my happiness. i am certainly capable of doing things because of them. i am striving to be a better person because they are there. i am incomplete without them.
Marriage...

Who says I am in a hurry for this? lol
my friends often tease me on getting married at this point in my life. they noticed that the man I am with right now is the right one for me, and besides, we already have a baby. some of my friends even offer their expertise when it comes to event management, or just organizing a cheap yet special wedding for me.
i gave it a thought at some point, talked to my hubby, and still ended up deciding not yet.
we are not in a hurry. lol
even if we are not married, we treat each other as husband and wife. we love each other. so there's no reason for us to get married sooner just for the sake of it.
although i know several people had their marriage worked for them, there are also those who are living in together and settling for whatever they have for the meantime., and happy.
it's just a matter of choice and commitment. even if you are married and you don't commit yourself to the relationship and to your other half, it's still not worth it.

Jesus, Take the Wheel - Carrie Underwood
Jesus, Take the Wheel
She was driving last Friday on her way to Cincinnati
On a snow white Christmas Eve
Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat
Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline
It'd been a long hard year

She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention
she was going way too fast
Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass
She saw both their lives flash before her eyes
She didn't even have time to cry
She was sooo scared
She threw her hands up in the air
Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel
It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder
And the car came to a stop
She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock
And for the first time in a long time
She bowed her head to pray
She said I'm sorry for the way
I've been living my life
I know I've got to change
So from now on tonight
Jesus take the wheel
Take it from my hands
Cause I can't do this on my own
I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
Ooh, Jesus take the wheel
Ooh, I'm letting go
So give me one more chance
Save me from this road I'm on
From this road I'm on
Jesus take the wheel
Ooh, take it, take it from me
Ooh ooh wah ah ooh ooh ooh

David Cook - American Idol Winner...

i wasn't really an American Idol fanatic until the recent season. I was infected with my colleagues' virus of American Idol. lol. i remember the first time I saw it, it was in Q TV since we didn't have cable then. it was fun and entertaining though. That was still the part where they were still choosing who will qualify to be "IN". I remember the funniest moments, when Rolando Lapuz (dunno if i am writing his name correctly), sang the "i am your brother song..." i was laughing till my eyes were in tears and my stomach was growling. I was laughing when the judges joined him, especially when Paula Abdul danced and Rolando hugged Simon Cowell. it was the best! go go go...
Towards the finals, (am taking as if this was a basketball game...hahahhaa) I found Sayesha Mercado, David Archuleta and of course David Cook the most promising and talented ones. But then again, like what Simon said, this is not just a singing competition. Text votes matter!
When the competition ended with David Cook being the winner, i wasn't bitter. I know he was worth it. Although i would agree also that it was a close fight between the two of them. (David Archuleta and David Cook)
These events just flashed my mind this Sunday morning because as I am writing this, I am listening to his "Always be my baby" rendition which was very good, I meant, amazing! He was superb! He was really a singer...I meant a performer...I meant a Star...(lol)

He was worth the American Idol Title. Go go David Cook.
Windows Partition
Finally, when everything was settled, we had a legal copy of windows. But he thought of having 2 partition of windows since we have a big space in our hard disk anyway, and so he did. the other profile was solely for him. For his games and all the stuff that he would like to put in his profile, the other partition was for me and my sister, solely for our needs as well.
Since Friday, our internet has been intermittent and it has not been resolved till now. Grrrrr!
I just noticed that when we log in to the other partition of our OS, the one that is assigned for me and my sister, the DSL light keeps on blinking every two minutes, thus loosing our connection. However, when we log in to Kenn's partition, it stays solid for the longest time and connection is good.
-sigh- I really don't know what is going on now. Dunno if the partition of Windows would matter in connecting to the internet. What do you think?
101 things I can do with my Blog Site
Dora the Explorer!
d to. Everytime she has a chance to watch DVD, she will always scream for Dora the Explorer!She now likes to watch it every day. Even if we are in my Mom's house, she would beg us to go home to watch Dora and everytime she arrives, there is no dull moment when she is watching it.
next Sunday, July 27, Dora the Explorer will be shown at SM City. We will surely be there to give her the chance to see Dora in person.
She wants a Baby Brother!
It just leaves Kenn and me thinking if she really meant what she said. On the other hand, I don’t think we are ready for another baby at this time. Shane has just turned 2 this year and money is not easy, but if it will come, I will be glad to accept it.
(This blog was supposedly posted yesterday but since the Internet was down, I wasn’t able to post it.)
His Craft
Between Kenn and Me, it is usually him who does the cleaning and maintaining of our house. He usually does the arranging of the things to make sure that it doesn’t look messy. He is the type of person who can move around better if things are arranged. I am the opposite. (Now I have to believe that opposite attracts) I can easily find my things even if they are everywhere. I can easily remember where I have put them if things stay as how they are when I have seen them. But since we already have a baby, I agreed in making our place clean and dirt-free. After all, cleanliness is next to Godliness. (what am I talking?) Anyway, our haven had been in such arrangement ever since we transferred. He just makes sure that it is clean at least twice a week, until yesterday. He decided to rearrange the things to give it a new look. He felt that we have not maximized our space with the old looks of our house. It took him about 2 hours to clean and rearrange everything and I had to stay in my Mom’s house just to give way. When he was done, he was so excited to let me see and judge the new organization. Without a doubt, I could say, he knows his craft. He is definitely good at it and I am thankful that I don’t have to do it as much as he does. I am good at something else J
Thank you Tay for making our place neat and orderly.
My Ranting…
Kenn had to call customer service and report the issue since our telephone line was working just fine.
We did a lot of troubleshooting. Kenn was technical enough to troubleshoot our own issues before but now, no avail. We were just told that technicians will call us within the day to update us of what is really going on. I don’t want to be judgmental but base on my experiences with this DSL service, it took them how many days to fix my service and I had to go back and forth in their office. (That wasn’t really a good experience)
Now, it’s not working again! I know there is no perfect DSL service, but the inconvenience it caused to call and report the issue and the time spent waiting for it to be resolved are tiresome. Plus, I can’t update my blog site…
I am hoping this will be fix sooner than expected.

when she does it, my hear melts away...and I give in..

Now that she is growing up, she had become somewhat naughty and very hyper, that sometimes I don't have that much energy to keep up with her. Everytime she wants something, she ended getting it. She get that treatment especially with her Memu, my Mom, which sometimes we argue about. My mom would always give in to her especially when she starts to cry. I just don't know, when she does her "lambing" with matching pa cute, my heart melts away and I just give in. I know it's not good...but she is my daughter, what can I do? hehehee...
a contented me...

I am just happy and contented of what I have right now...definitely thankful for all the blessings that comes along my way...
I realize life has a lot to offer...there are a lot of things I am thankful for...I can't count all my fingers for all of them..
Thank you...

Thank you for a wonderful family of my own..

Thank you for a nice job and a great pay! Hurray for an A band!

Thank you for good friends...who never fail to cheer me up when I am down, who comfort me when I am hurt and in pain. Thank Goodness for them!

and I thank God for a loving and caring husband...who never fails to understand and love me unconditionally....
Weekend at Villa Teresita
We really had fun. The kids (Shane, Clark Kent and Tofee) were so excited to go to the swimming pool and play with water. We swam all afternoon. We ate. There were so many food. There was spaghetti, grilled pork, cake, kinilaw, and pomelo.
We had fun and we were full.
Happi Birthday Kuya Tofee!

A Mother's Story
====================================================================
My little boy came into the kitchen this evening while I was fixing supper. And he handed me a piece of paper he'd been writing on. So, after wiping my hands on my apron, I read it, and this is what it said:
For mowing the grass, $5
For making my own bed this week, $1
For going to the store $.50
For playing with baby brother while you went shopping, $.25
For taking out the trash, $1
For getting a good report card, $5
And for raking the yard, $2
Well, I looked at him standing there expectantly, and a thousand memories flashed through my mind. So, I picked up the paper, and turning it over, this is what I wrote:
For the nine months I carried you, growing inside me, No Charge
For the nights I sat up with you, doctored you, prayed for you, No Charge
For the time and the tears, and the cost through the years, No Charge
For the nights filled with dread, and the worries ahead, No Charge
For advice and the knowledge, and the cost of your college, No Charge
For the toys, food and clothes, and for wiping your nose, No Charge
Son, when you add it all up, the full cost of my love is No Charge
Coffee...Coffee...Coffee
Learning My Way Through
I am crossing my fingers for this new hubby of writing...
I am Back! hopefully for good...
They better give me a refund or else...am not threatening them or whatever but I don't think I deserve this kind of connection. I paid one month in advance for the service and I was not able to maximize it!
Well, the manager was very polite and accommodating when I went to their office this morning to complain all of these. She promised me that I will get a refund once every thing is back to normal.
Again, they better be....hmpp!
