Looking back...

I was going through my old pictures and I came across this one and made me miss my long hair :-) I had my long hair (waist length) cut last February this year to my very short hair hehehe. With my hairstyle now I cannot do much...really just wash and go which is good for me also hahaha

I miss wearing my Php100 roundneck "GAP" shirts also. Due to my love of food...I cannot wear them "for now". I am still hoping that I can lose this EXTRA pounds that I gained since I joined my current company *LOL*

I'm 30!

Would like to thank all the people who remembered. Truly touched. Specially to my cousins who flew from USA to come and celebrate with me. Thank you!

Now and Then...

Naughty by Nature

A couple of weeks ago I received a call from "Naughty by Nature"for a free photoshoot. I got excited coz I heard so many good reviews about the studio but was also having second thoughts if I have time to do it.

The Offer: A free make over and they will take about 50 shots of you in 2 different setting. 1is wearing casual clothes and the other is either a formal or in "custome". After the photoshooot you get to choose 2 of your favorite and they will burn it in a cd and give it to you free.

The Catch: After you have chosen your 2 favorite pictures, they will sell you a package worth S3K++.

The package was really good and sounds very worth it for its price. I was really interested and very tempted to take it. Unfortunately they only offer it on the spot and I cannot decide if I really want to spend $3K++ on photos!!! With the installment package that they offer, the price was reasonable but still...$3K++ on photos? hahaha...

All in all the experience was good (except for the hard selling part).

Rainbow After the Rain

This past past couple of months has been a tough one. I had to attend to too many "bullys" and there's just no pleasing them. Everyday I would pray for this project to be finished already because I just want to move on. I was so stressed with all the pressure from my boss, people who "feel" that they are my boss and with my personal "struggles" of the month but God is so good that he didn't let things to just finish because I prayed it would and that I'm not comfortable and having a hard time.

He even let this project to be behind time for me to remember that...

• He will never leave me nor forsake me
• I can do all things, through Christ who strengthens me
• God is so BIG and my problems are so small to him
• Nothing is impossible with God
• Let Go and Let God

and to learn that...

• My boss can irritating and unreasonable sometimes but he cares and can be very understanding also.
• God sends champions to defend you from the bully's of the world in the form of "lola" hehehe

and gain...

• New friends
• More knowledge in project management

I still pray for this project to end now but I'm not so stressed anymore and can now appreciate the rainbow after the rain.

Home Sweet Home




I may not say & show how much I admire you
and love you often but everyday I thank the Lord Jesus
that he has given me the BEST Papa!

Sometimes you can be very bossy and treat us like kids,
and we may be making faces but always remember that
we LOVE you because we know that you only do that because you CARE.

Words are not enough to express how much we LOVE you,
ADMIRE you and how PROUD we are for having you as our papa.

THANK YOU for everything!

Happy Birthday! I pray for many many many more to come... :-)

I love you!
CJ

It was a typical Sunday for our family. Go to church, eat lunch, look around, then go home. What made this Sunday special is that it's my Mama's birthday :-)

The funny thing is...almost from the minute we left the parking lot in our home, everything went haywire...but God is good! Everything was fixed and the day turned out happy one :-)

I thank the Lord for giving us a wonderful & great Mother. One who sacrifice her happiness for our happines, always there to support us in all our endeavors, patiently prays for our safety wherever we go.

I love you Mama! You're the Best :-)

7 Years...

It was 7 years ago!!! "I exclaimed"

Ejet and I were reminiscing the "good old days" when we realized that the last time we saw each other was 7 years ago. It was the time when we were all staying in Manila and was studying for the board exams.

Now, almost everybody is out of the country. Me in Singapore, Ejet in Kuwait, Malou in Maldives, Charmaine in Hong Kong, Rizza in Japan, Aktib & Nayr in USA, Jing & Carol in UK and the list goes on...

It would be so much fun if we can all meet again soon...

Ingat Ejet! It was good seeing you again (kahit 30 minutes lang hi hi hi...)have a safe trip back to Kuwait...Hope to see you & malou again soon!
