Yena as flower girl

2012-01-25T10:54:00.001+08:00

I’m thinking what to write in my today’s post until my officemate sent me a very beautiful message. She is asking my permission to have my daughter Yena as her flower girl and you know what that means, she is getting married.

I’m not so surprise since we are already expecting it to come anytime but the soon to be bride was that excited that she gladly told me that it was coming this December. I think I have to prepare this early for that event. I will browse the net for Digital Camera Prices coz our camera is quite old already and will not be suited for picture taking of those very momentous events. By that time, my daughter will be less than a month to turn 5 years old and I think she will gladly walk that aisle with her own version of tsunami walk. I’m so excited for that day to come and see my daughter’s happy face.

Happy Chinese New Year!

2012-01-23T18:57:00.003+08:00

New Year, new hope and new life! Those are the most common perception of the people when New Year is coming that’s why most of the people is exerting their best efforts to prepare what will be the lucky thing in the coming year.

There is nothing wrong doing those things since we have the right to believe what we think is right. These things started from Chinese beliefs and adopted by Filipinos since most successful people are Chinese. If you can see, they have lots of beliefs but they are not only dwelling in it, they also have hard work and perseverance that most of the Filipinos don’t have.

If each Filipinos will have those two traits, Philippines will not be in this kind of poverty of course minus the graft and corruption. Happy Chinese New Year to each and every one and may we have a very prosperous new year ahead of us.

Wishes granted or taken for granted?

2012-01-23T18:55:00.003+08:00

Yena’s cousin celebrated her 6th B-day yesterday. She didn’t have the biggest party ever but I’m sure she was happiest that day when she got what she wished for. To add twist to the celebration, the B-day girl was asked to close her eyes and say her wishes. The B-day girl asked for a new bicycle, and when her eyes opened, there was the new purple bike on front of her.

Our daughter Yena was wishing for same thing but we have an agreement that we will give it to her we she reached 5 years old. She just turned 4 last Sunday and she also got her Disney playhouse as her birthday gift, that was her birthday request. With relatives teasing all the kids yesterday, they also asked them to close their eyes and made a wish. Yena wished for a bike but she saw nothing when she opened her eyes. She was deeply saddened that her wish was not granted and she cried out so loud that nobody can stop her from crying. I tried to console her and explained how lucky she is since she has lots of things that her cousin doesn’t. She smiled and requested if she can have a bike with additional seat for her sister Yannie. That was a thoughtful wish and I will try my very best to grant it to her.

My birthday will be few months to go and just like the kids I will close my eyes wishing for a motorcycle with matching cortech sport saddlebags so that I will always be on the go when we have basketball games and I’m addressing it to my generous wife. I hope that I can have a timeline when I can have it so that I can have an idea if my wishes will be granted or taken for granted.

I found the perfect gift

2012-01-23T18:53:00.002+08:00

We have lots of pictures that we want it to be framed but we haven’t started even one because we have different ideas about the design. My wife is a frustrated designer and she wants to have personalized photo canvas but I want it to be that simple. She told me to see the samples and this time I will agree with her. Canvases are very nice to see and perfect for home decorations.

It’s like adding beauties to each memory of those pictures and it turns out to be a work of art. If you are having a hard time thinking of gifts to be given to your love ones in certain occasions, knowing this idea will give you at ease and you know that you did a perfect choice on this. If our second baby already knows how to pose for a picture, our wall will be fully occupied by these canvases.

We started the year right

2012-01-11T15:14:00.002+08:00

There are lots of traditions that New Year encompasses and I do believe in some of those. They say that when you started the year right, it will continue for the whole year that’s why I tried to started it right. We prepared abundant foods on the table. Fruits, desserts and other things that support the belief of New Year’s Eve for the blessing and graces are abundant the whole year.

I’m so full that night while spending good time with my in-laws. I’m so thankful that what I have believed is somehow true and happening already. My brother already found a new job near our place though it is not as good compared to his previous job. My cousin and his father will be starting their work too later this week. I received good news from my boss that they will make an evaluation this month for our salary increase.

These blessings are badly needed since we are still drowning from our debts. My baby already knows how to be fed from feeding bottles and his mommy now is ready for work again. There are lots of things that are making me excited each day since I’m feeling great that some great things will happen to us this year. I’m still hoping and praying that those we are aiming will somehow come true the soonest.

Music and Me

2012-01-10T16:30:00.003+08:00

I’m a great music lover. I can listen to all kinds of music and I’m always listening to it in whatever things I’m doing. I can listen to Rap music, Rock and I love religious music that we are singing during the Mass.

I listen most of the time to religious music for me to be familiar with the tones so that we will not have a hard time practicing it but some people seems to laugh at me when they hear it in loudspeaker because they are thinking that we are already having a Mass that’s why I’m eyeing on Dr Dre HeadphonesI’d like to have one of these day. I’m sure this gadget will be of great use to me. I can use it to block the strong wind coming in my ear while traveling in and out of the office and with its features, I’m sure I will not be out of the trend.

Confused for the Next Year

2011-12-28T12:43:00.002+08:00

Year 2011 is almost finished. We usually do our self-evaluation during the end-year. We are commemorating the things we have done; the things we still want to do the next year and what are the things we want to change. We want changes for the next year that’s why as early as now, we are already preparing for it. I have many plans that didn’t pursue like enrolling for another review for the board exam and saving for our own house and lot.

I still want to continue until the wind blow in different direction. I am confused if I will enroll for review school or should I take my masters degree next year. I want to do this to prepare for our future for we don’t know what will happen the next day. I will consult my partner in life about this and hopefully we can have a decision before the year end and hopefully our budget can still afford now that my youngest brother will graduate from High School next year and it will mean college level is next in line.

Lessons from Two Disastrous Typhoons

2011-12-27T20:08:00.002+08:00

While most people are preparing for the Christmas season, our countrymen from Cagayan De Oro and Iligan City are being destroyed by typhoon “Sendong”. They say that this typhoon can be compared to “Ondoy” that also ruined the big part of Manila and other nearby provinces. Flash Floods, land slides and other unexpected problems related to the calamity killed thousands of our countrymen. With these calamities, do people already learn their lessons?

We already know what causes those tragedy but we still continue to do the same. We cut trees from our forest illegally and we throw our garbage anywhere we want. The government already gives directives to those people who will cut one tree will replace it by hundreds. Each municipality provided dump truck to collect garbage to dispose it properly. Biodegradable must be segregated from non-biodegradable waste so that those can be recycled and can still be of use.

Those who have gardens can use compost bin to have an organic fertilizer instead of those fertilizers made from chemicals that can harm the soil. We don’t need to put the blame on our government or to others because this problem can’t be solved by chosen few but with the helping hands of each and every one of us. We hope that in each and every calamity we had, we also learn our lessons.

Christmas Fever 2011

2011-12-14T22:19:00.002+08:00

Later this morning we will be celebrating Holy Mass as thanksgiving for the prosperous year we had. The next day will be our Christmas party and we have lots of raffle prizes to be won but I don’t know if we also have dashboard product included in the prizes.

It has been a tradition for the company to have a thanksgiving mass before the end of the year and during the Christmas Party, newly hired employees are tasks to perform that’s why they are now busy practicing for their presentation. I’m so excited for tomorrow’s announcement of our President if he will give bonus and for the prizes that I will get once my name is called in the raffle. I’ll pray harder that the good luck will be with me!

Actions Speaks Louder than Words

2011-12-14T22:18:00.002+08:00

If you think that animals can’t communicate, think again because it is not only in movies we can see them communicate. Animals or other things communicate too but not exactly the same with human. People do communicate by talking but we also have sign language or other means of communicating just like animals found in recent studies.

Scientists from Japan tried to study the language of oysters, what are they telling the people about their environment. Scientists are monitoring the opening and closing of the molluscs in changes to seawater like low oxygen and red tides. The environment can’t talk but we can understand what she wants to tell to each and every one of us. It is obvious in abnormal weather today due to our abuse of our environment. Once these abuses continue, the environment has its own way of expressing her anger and it means lives being lost.

20 Days to Go!

2011-12-05T21:44:00.001+08:00

Its 20 days to go before Christmas and everybody seems so busy filling up their Christmas list. For every Christmas I remember wife and I would list down the names of our more than two dozen godchildren, nephews and nieces and think about the gifts to surprise them with. When there’s extra we would include on the list not only the children but also the children at heart, and buy them something that could help them on their work. This year, if we would give something for the adults, am thinking of giving a Delafield Corporation Metal hose to an uncle and some memorabilia for her wife.

But this year is a bit different. No Christmas shopping this year since we’ve been swamped with big expenses left and right. I hope our godchildren, nephews and nieces will understand. Maybe we could give something next year.

Dream Home

2011-12-05T21:36:00.001+08:00

Our family is getting bigger and now I can feel how crowded we all are in our current abode. Sometimes I wish I work overseas so we can build our dream home in a flash. i can imagine how that home would look like, I just hope that there’s extra space for me to play basketball aside from having those outdoor signs and wife’s garden in front.

I hope and pray that one day there will be a house and lot that will be for sale near our current home. It would be nice to get a house in a subdivision but it will be hard to be away from family and relatives so we prefer having a house near my mother or in laws house.

Pictures to Print

2011-12-05T21:34:00.001+08:00

There are countless of pictures that are saved on wife’s hard drive, she said she will have them printed soon. Almost all of the pictures started on the birth of our eldest daughter. She is three years old now. With the arrival of our second daughter, I can imagine how big those folders of pictures will be like. And it would mean saving for the cost of printing all those pictures.

Maybe we can save more if we could just save those pictures on a cd and get some cd replication to keep the other cds for posterity’s sake. It’s nice to look back to all of the memories of the past on every folders of pictures saved on one cd to another.

Proud Daddy the Second Time Around

2011-11-20T20:14:00.001+08:00

I didn’t know that I will feel the same mix emotions I had when wife delivered our first baby girl almost four years ago. I was nervous, scared, excited and happy all at the same time when wife was at the operating room. When our second baby girl went out of this world last week, I thought I can jump over the moon and back a million times over when I finally saw her the first time and no amount of medicine at the medication cart can make me go back to my sane self. I thought I would go insane. It is one of the happiest moments of my life seeing my child after nine months of waiting.

It is not only love that is sweeter the second time around, being a father on the second time or the nth time to the woman you love is one of the sweetest things that can happen to any man.

Yannie Solenn it is!

2011-11-20T20:12:00.001+08:00

Wife and I were over the moon when we found out she’s expecting. Our excitement goes crazy when the Chinese calendar says we’re having a boy. So we think of a baby boy’s name all along. On her 6th month, wife had her ultrasound. We were surprised to learn we’re having another girl. Told myself I will have three women in my life who would talk about girly things like eye-lash growth products that I will never learn to figure out.

So we had to think of a girl’s name. Wife left the decision to me, so I decided to just combine the names of two celebrities I admire the most at the moment. I only have to make some variation as it has been a rule to wife and I to use Y to the start of our children’s name. So combining Anne Curtis and Solenn Heusaff in one name – I got our precious second baby girl’s name – Yannie Solenn it is! And wife could not agree more!

2nd baby is out: Overjoyed

2011-11-12T22:41:00.001+08:00

I just can’t explain the happiness I feel when I saw my 2^ndbaby. I didn’t expect that she will look like her elder sister. I’m greatlyoverjoyed when I saw her; she is very cute but a lot bigger than her sister.She is 3.6kg while her sister Yena is 2.45kg. The feeling is happier thanhaving the “big Yes” from the girl you are dreaming of. I’m having a greatsmile today, can't sleep because of excitement and I can’t wait to carry her with my arms. This feeling ispriceless and I feel so blessed. I'm imagining the face of Yena seeing her little sister, OMG i can't wait. I'm sure she will love her little sister and she will be very proud of her.

Anniversary Gifts

2011-11-06T23:52:00.001+08:00

At this early, am already thinking of what to give my wife on our anniversary next year. I wasn’t able to give her anything this year, only flowers that she appreciated so much. I know I should be thinking of what to give her this month, it will be her 30th birthday a few days from now but knowing her, she would only tell me to save it for the baby’s arrival, and the date is getting nearer as we both wish the baby would arrive on wife’s birthday.

So I wont be doing some birthday gift shopping, instead i shall look for some anniversary gifts. And what better way to prepare for next year’s anniversary than to check online on what’s easy on the pocket just like those red envelope discount codes to somehow reduce cost on my online shopping. I just wish I can find something that wife would really be thankful for.

Kilig Moments in our 4th Year Anniversary

2011-10-27T10:46:00.002+08:00

Why do I always forget that wifey is such a person who loves surprises? It’s been 4 years in a row that I haven’t foreseen that she will have something to surprise me again this year. I told her that I will wake up early to jog and when i woke up and go to the bathroom, I saw a box of Cool Water Perfume with an anniversary card. I’m so surprised to see those stuffs.

I came late to the office that day and when I arrived, another surprised greeted me; a box of red ribbon cake and bouquet of red roses on my table! She surprised me again. My officemates were all having goosebumps witnessing wife's sweet acts and they were so happy for me to have the sweetest wife on earth. They kept on asking me on what would be my gift in return but I only replied with a joke. Knowing my wife, she will just tease me to give her something but I know that she is contented seeing me happy with her gifts.

Happy 4th Year Wedding Anniversary to us my wifey and i hope and pray to celebrate more anniversaries with you until our life is through. It’s been so long ago, but is seems everything has just started because the kilig moments are still here! Thank you for all the kilig moments with you!

Pity those Who Can’t Speak

2011-10-20T18:36:00.003+08:00

I attended a seminar about Integrity this morning in RCBC Plaza in Makati with some of my co-employees. The speaker was from Harvard University and most of the participants are executives from different companies.

Since the speaker is from Harvard, it is expected that all conversations and discussions will be in English. Obviously, executives can understand and speak English fluently. Came the open forum, our representatives have lots of ideas about the topic but can’t open up because they were hesitant that their English words will come short. The ideas were there but they can’t convey it so we end up keeping our thoughts to ourselves.

I pity myself and others who have ideas but can’t speak… but look at the brighter side, we have learned something out of that seminar and that is to speak our minds when we know that it is right.

Family Date at Mang Inasal

2011-10-17T07:42:00.001+08:00

It was a first time for my family and I to have lunch at Mang Inasal to think that Mang Inasal was there for a long time ago already. So I was so happy that last weekend, my family and I had a family date at that chicken house.

My daughter enjoyed their free beef soup, I ruined my diet with their unlimited rice and wife was all praises with their grilled chicken. I also like that the ambiance is homey and almost all of the patrons are eating using their bare hands, enjoying rapidly their piece of grilled chicken. No one was having their cigars after meal, instead there’s a fill of Filipino ice cream Sorbetes or halo-halo which my family and I enjoyed too.

The family date at Mang Inasal was the first but definitely not the last. We will be back there soon, I guess when wife crave for another grilled chicken.

Many Happy Birthdays in October

2011-10-13T18:00:00.003+08:00

My family has lots of birthday celebrants during the month October that’s why it is the most expensive month for us because we have to buy gifts for each celebrant. We used to prepare spaghetti, cake and ice cream for them but later on I decided to change it since this is no longer practical.

The expenses are the same if you will buy them something that they can use in the long run. Instead of food, we are giving them something they can use. My nephew got his pair of shoes which he really loves. My niece got her pair of sandals along with a pretty dress that my daughter also have for them to look like twins.

Now, I’m thinking of giving desktop computers to my youngest brother and my other nephew but they have requested other things. My brother wants to have Adidas shoes while my nephew wants a pair of Sandugo Sandals. I’m sure they will look for those stuffs when we see each other this weekend. Hope I can still give it to them even though we are slightly short in our budget. Am a poor guy.

You already Anne Curtis!

2011-10-13T18:00:00.000+08:00

Anne Curtis is one of the hottest girls in town today. Her “No Other Woman” movie became the great blockbuster movie in Philippine History with a record breaking $210Million sales and her Annebisyosa music album is no.1 in the record bars.

TV commercials and gigantic billboards show her beautiful and sexy figure. What else can she ask for? Though her role in her movie portrays a seductive mistress, she still earned sympathy from the audiences. I don’t know if her acting made her win the heart of the audiences or it is just her charm? Boy or girl admires her.

I guess creating a website named addressplaques.net for address plaques that will be given to her will be very helpful to those people who want to recognize her good job. Who had predicted that this girl will reach her peak this year? My wife adores her so much and so does I no wonder we both decided that our second baby should be named after her.

Hail to our Nurse Neighbor

2011-10-05T17:44:00.003+08:00

My wife’s doctor advised her to have 4 shots of steroids to speed up the development of our baby’s lungs. Being both an accountant, we don’t know anything about injections, so we need to ask somebody’s help. Every morning my wife would go to the nearest health worker to have her shot but the problem was, there was no one to do the shots at night.

We’re so delighted to know that our neighbor is a nurse and nightly, we could go to her house to do the shots. So instead of going out of our way at night and go to the nearest Hospital for the shots, we can have it for free. The fees, we can somehow save for some skin care products we use at home.

I guess it’s high time we need to have a nurse in the family, my eldest nephew is taking up Medical Technology and I know we can count on him if the need for medical know-how arise, but we have to wait for him to graduate. For now we are just so thankful for the neighbor nurse we can count on anytime.

Pregnancy Hardships

2011-10-04T18:07:00.002+08:00

Wife and I were over the moon when we learned that she’s on the way. We have been wishing to have another baby since our first born turned two years old. So when we found out that our prayers were granted, we cannot be anymore grateful for the blessing.

But this pregnancy is different from wife’s first. Now she has to take a full bed rest at 28 weeks. Aside from monitoring her blood sugar with laboratory tests since their family has history of diabetes, she has to get used to different shots. Just last Saturday she had tetanus shot and this week she has 4 shots of steroid to speed up the development of the baby’s lungs. She has to asked for a friend who knows how to inject the steroid since I don’t know anything about it, or anything about Technical Recruiter Jobs, in fact all I know best is doing my accounting or analyzing sales.

Nightly I could hear how hard she moves around the bed. I have to pull her up when she needs to use the comfort room and she moves all the more slowly now as she has gained so much weight. She jokes around that she’s willing to have another baby but I have to carry it, we both didn’t imagine how hard and difficult it could be now on her second pregnancy but we are still grateful that the baby is fine on every prenatal checkup.

Meet you sooner friends!

2011-09-23T22:13:00.004+08:00

I’m only seeing my friends and some former classmates through facebook, an online social media where you can have a chat, post pictures and other communications. Since we have busy schedules and we already have our own family, it is our only means to communicate.

Now that Christmas is just few days to go, it’s perfect to meet them for some bonding moments. Some of their children are my godchildren and I’m thinking of what to give them this holiday season when we meet. Since their children are still young, they can’t request for themselves though one of my friends demanded to have polaris ranger parts for their car. I can’t say no to him since we been together for long time now and I’m not present in many special occasions of my godchild.

I just hope that our company will still be generous this year to give bonuses for me to have a better budget for their request.

Sex Strike for Philippine Peace

2011-09-23T22:13:00.001+08:00

Strike is one way of expressing once self and fighting for demands. It is most common from the members of Labor Union fighting for the increase of wages and other Partylist for public’s benefits. Just recently, Piston, had their transport strike “tigil pasada” to send a message to the Big 3 oil companies to control their prices and wants the government to take over them.

We know that this move has lots of benefits to common people if it will push through but it will be a very long process. Lots of people want to solve the problem on energy through strike but and we don’t have yet from peace until the wives of the rebels from Maguindanao initiated the idea of “Sex Strike”! This idea came about when the wives who are making handicrafts can no longer ship their products because transportation is being blocked due to war between the rebels and the Gov’t troops. To solve the problem, they want to stop to war for smooth business. The idea is simple, if their husbands go for war, they will not be accepted in their house and therefore no love making for them. Despite their teachings to serve their husbands, it is more justifiable that they want peace among others and want something to feed their family.

This is just a small idea to limit war but if this will continue, we will have peaceful environment even for some time. We hope that there will come out other ideas to stop the war and have a peaceful country.

Miss Angola crowned as 2011 Miss Universe

2011-09-14T19:11:00.000+08:00

Leila Lopes, 25 years old BS Management from Angola was crowned as 2011 Miss Universe in the final ramp yesterday. This beauty pageant is the most prestigious among other beauty contest in the whole world that’s why it is the most anticipated one.

Fans and expectants rushed to see it live and for sure garretts metal detectors are present in all entrances of the venue to ensure the safety of all people in there. Though the Philippine bet Shamcey Supsup ended as 3rd runner up, she will always be the winner in every Filipino’s heart together with Venus Raj who was 4th runner up in the same pageant in 2010.

Over Fishing in the Philippines

2011-09-14T19:10:00.002+08:00

Gigi or galunggong is the most common and well known fish in every Filipino household because it is more affordable than others. The flavorful taste of this fish makes it more appealing that’s why most sardines are made from this fish that even students who are in nursing uniforms will greatly love.

The Philippine government is now having problem of over fishing that even the young fish are being catch. This fish can be called if it ages from 2-3 years but now even less than a year, this fish is harvested. If this activity will continue to happen, we will be experiencing shortage in our food and will have high prices which I am now experiencing everytime I go to the market.

Philippine Ducks Now in Danger

2011-09-14T19:08:00.002+08:00

When I saw the picture of the Philippine duck in yahoo news, there is no one I have in mind except for daughter. She used to sing about the 3 ducks she saw with fat and thin figures with a matching duck-like dance. It is so cute to watch her doing that thing though she doesn’t pronounce the words clearly.

When I read the article, it is sad news that the ducks are now endangered. I can’t imagine that my daughter who is singing about that animal but will no longer see them sooner. I felt guilty since I used to eat this bird when I was staying in my cousin’s house in Laguna. It is far cheaper than any meat that’s why it is our favorite “pulutan” when we are having drinking session. I will stop eating this kind of bird from now on so that we will still have the same birds in the future.

Tim Cone resigned as head coach of the Milkmen

2011-09-08T10:47:00.002+08:00

Having a good company with good people is very hard to find and when you are in, it is very hard to leave and it is even harder for Alaska Head Coach Tim Cone who resigned his post as head coach of the said team after serving the team for 22 years.

The years he stayed in the team are even longer than his marriage as what he has said in the press conference. This decision is very hard for him and it took him lots of sleepless nights thinking of this decision. He wants to explore himself and do something else that he wants to do though speculations say that he will be in other team that he deeply denied.

He gave 13 championships for the team including a grand slam in 1996 and nearly a second in 1998. Unlike in the old battlefield, when the king is dead, the opponent wins the war but it is not the same in the battlefield of basketball, when the coach resigned, it doesn’t mean the team already lost the game.

Joel Banal who also served the team for many years also will replace Tim Cone and the management is very supportive to him that he will continue the winning tradition of the team. It’s a very hard decision to leave the team but what hurts him most is the feeling that the team is thinking that he abandons them.

Joyride with Yenggay

2011-08-28T23:58:00.002+08:00

Weekends are usually spent in my family side. My family and I would have lunch and dinner together with my mother and siblings. I’d like my daughter to learn how family sticks together through thick and thin and I want her to be close to every relatives we have.

When we ran out of things to do at my mother’s home, my daughter and I would usually go to the nearest grocery store riding a motorcycle. She loves to ride a motorcycle, and is not scared even if we don’t bring our riding helmetsso often.

I wish I can have a joyride with her every now and then, I hope my wife allow me to have my own motorcycle one day. It’s a dream to finally drive around with my daughter and see her enjoy every moment of our joyride.

Jamming Session on break time

2011-08-28T23:57:00.000+08:00

We usually take our lunch break earlier than the usual 12pm break. My officemates and I would usually eat early so we can play some musical instruments on the conference room we makeshift into our music room during lunch time. We we’re not able to use the conference room last week, our IT department made some conference call demo during our session time.

How I miss playing with our organ, it’s the instrument I have been practicing the most this time. I want to learn to play the organ so I can teach my daughter at this early. I guess we will be back to our jamming session when the work resumes on Wednesday. Everybody is having fun with music and we build not only our vocal chords and musical skills but most of all our camaraderie in the company.

Thoughts before the outing

2011-08-28T23:55:00.002+08:00

We will be going to Tanza Cavite few hours from now. Finally our scheduled summer outing that has been postponed for months have pushed through. The company is in cost cutting that’s why we will use the company’s issued cars for our service instead of renting another bus or shuttle. I’m so lucky to be assigned in a beautiful and comfortable car with logo car floor mats, one of the perks of being in Sales.

I am so excited to finally see the newest five start hotel and resort in Cavite. I have only seen the pictures on the internet and it’s so breathtaking already. I need to see the place first hand to believe and confirm it all. There are a lot of activities and games in store for all of us and am crossing fingers that we can bring home a little something for ourselves. Wish us luck!

Yena the Fashionista

2011-08-05T18:25:00.000+08:00

The thing that she said last Sunday before we go to church still lingers in my ear and I can’t help myself but to smile.

I can’t imagine my little daughter can utter those words and criticized the way I choose my clothes. “Your rubber shoes don’t look good on your pants, daddy!”, she said to me. I don’t know what to say but I am so happy that she can now distinguish what is pleasing to the eyes and what is not.

I guess she got her “fashionista” taste from her mommy (not to mention that she talks and walks just like my wife!) and I can’t complain if she wants to explore in terms of fashion as long as it is not that costly.

Well Prepared Script for Ex-Senator Zubiri

2011-08-05T18:05:00.000+08:00

I don’t want to talk about any political issues in this blog but I can’t help it. There are lots of political issues I heard but this will be the first time I write about it. Just recently, there are lots of people already coming out to testify that there are electoral frauds in the 2007 elections and some of the beneficiary is Juan Miguel Zubiri.

I arrived home when I found out that the said senator already resigned and is giving the seat to another supposed to be the winning senator who happens to be Koko Pimentel. This act earns a lot of praises from different sectors and even the public. I am not against this man but I am saluting him for a well prepared political script. His term will expire in the next two years but already resigned because he can’t attempt that his family is being hurt by the issues and his integrity and dignity is at stake. Very heroic and bravely done as they say but it is not the same impact on me.

I know if this write ups will be read, people will be mad at me but it is just my opinion. He just sacrificed his remaining years in exchange for a well and two thumbs up publicity for him in preparation for the next election. I’m sure he will pursue to do things that are pleasing to the eyes of the people and his colleagues, sincere or for political reasons, let’s leave it to his conscience. I hope that my opinion is wrong and if he is really sincere, let him be the example of the government officials.

Wife is on Complete Bed Rest

2011-08-01T17:10:00.001+08:00

I had to hurry to wife’s work last Friday when her doctor said we need to bring her to the nearest ER to have her and the baby checked. I was worried on why so suddenly she felt a pain on her tummy, I thought I need some point of care cart all at once.

But there, after a couple of laboratory tests, her doctor said she should have a complete bed rest now that she’s five and half months pregnant. Traveling everyday from cavite to makati has taken its toll already, and the needed rest for one week is needed for her and to reach at least 36 weeks before her CS operation on November.

I hope and pray that everything will be fine and that wife’s pregnancy will be smooth sailing again until our second baby arrives. I only pray that both of them be safe and healthy throughout the nine months and to see the baby on pink health by November. Help me God.

5 Years!

2011-07-25T14:59:00.002+08:00

My wife and I will be celebrating our five years of being a couple three days from now and instead of sending our birthday party invitations to family and friends we decided to spend our anniversary in Bohol last weekend.

It was a blast. It was a very memorable and happy vacation with my family and I know that they all enjoyed the wonders of Bohol. My wife already handed her “surprise” gifts to me a few weeks ago and I am still thinking on what to give her. I know she won’t ask for anything pricey and she wouldn’t mind if I shower her hugs and kisses like the way I use to give her every single day, after all its not the flowers or gifts, love is the greatest gift of all.

The Coolest and Cutest Student

2011-07-15T13:05:00.000+08:00

It’s one month ago when classes have started. I saw those students who are very excited going back to school with their new school supplies. I’m happy seeing those children walking to their classrooms because I imagine that I look like them when I was in their age.

I have the coolest and the cutest student who is in nursery now and I can’t wait each and every day to see her going to school with her nun-like uniform. Time is really fast and we will not notice that later on they will be graduating already and I can’t wait to prepare her graduation invitations because that occasion will require a celebration.

Company summer outing or rainy outing?

2011-07-15T13:03:00.004+08:00

We are supposed to have our summer outing few months ago. We are so excited with that and all are already prepared. We’ve also prepared rv emergency roadside assistance since most of the employees will bring their car. Almost everything was prepared already and it seems all were perfect until the issue on our company came out on the day of our outing.

All our excitements turned down and became disappointments. It such a bad feeling when are all packed up and prepared then the actual departure was cancelled. We are hearing rumors that our outing will push through in the next month but I don’t want to feel excited because I don’t want to feel disappointed again if it will be cancelled. We don’t know what will happen that’s why I will just wait if it will materialize.

Lazy Friday

2011-07-15T13:03:00.001+08:00

We don’t have bosses now in our office that’s why people don’t have the usual rhythm in their assigned job. It’s like we are having a party inside the office. Some are putting the volume of their music to the maximum level, some are like doing picnics in the park and some are in talk shows and no one is complaining of the atmosphere since this is very rare occasion.

I want to do the same but I’m kind of busy doing the report for my boss who is in the meeting right now and I’m researching for what is the best insurance for our products during our delivery and I am so lucky that the site directed me to Wholesaleinsurance.net that I believe is what we are looking for in an insurance with a minimum cost for the company. With this report, I know I can reverse the negative impression from my boss when I have consecutive absences this week.

Effects of Innovation

2011-07-15T13:02:00.000+08:00

Since my wife didn’t report towork today, I’m pretty sure that they will be going to the mall again. Groceries will be one of their itineraries. I can imagine my daughter’s face being amazed by those high tech gadgets like bluetooth barcode scanner that the beautiful cashiers are using.

Almost everything now has changed because of the continuous innovation of modern technology. It has negative effect because of the depreciating value of our gadget and for some obsolescence but the good effect is that it helps us to work efficiently, effectively and much more easier.

Talking about Regrets

2011-07-11T14:12:00.000+08:00

I already experienced few championships in playing basketball but the latest is somewhat the sweetest one. It is my first time to join the inter-color Basketball league in the place of my wife. I joined the players in our neighborhood and we are so lucky that we have taller player who are very athletic that lifted the whole team in winning the championship.

We played another championship game last Friday, this time a league at my work place. Few days already have passed but the memory still lingers on my mind. I felt deep regret on the fact that we lost the game without giving all our best. My teammates seem off that night but I felt lucky that I made one three point basket and one after I drive. I felt tired after those shots that’s why I let my teammate substituted me. They can’t seem to buy a good basket because of the tight defense of the opponent.

The refurbished laptop computers are ready for grab if we won the game but we didn’t. We are very happy and thankful to those officemates and other people who supported us at least in our last game. I think I’m already over it and it will serve as a lesson to me and the whole team that we will regret each game if we didn’t do our best.

Jump packed Transformers 3 Opening

2011-07-04T16:48:00.003+08:00

I still yet to find out what’s the difference on my wife’s second pregnancy to the first. When my wife was pregnant with our first baby Yena she wasn’t that movie buff at all. Now with our soon to be “baby Yllac”, she loves to frequent the movie house. I just hope and wish that our 2nd baby is a boy since she likes those movies with those handsome actors. We watched Green Lantern few weeks ago and yesterday we watched Transformers III. We’ve watched also Kung Fu Panda II together with a bunch of our nephews and nieces. We brought those who were not able to join us in Kung Fu Panda2 yesterday and I’m so happy to see that they loved the movie as well.

I’m so shocked when I saw that there are lesser people in the 1st and 2nd floor of the SM mall, the people were all at the 3rd floor falling in line to go inside the movie house and at the ticket booth just to watch Transformers 3. Watching the movie on time will not be possible in that mall so we decided to go to the other mall (just a walking distance apart from SM) and we did the right thing because there is no rushing in line to buy tickets. With that volume of people I’ve seen falling in line, I can say that this movie will be one of the blockbusters and will enjoy great sales.

Same Sex Marriage, Anyone?

2011-07-01T09:15:00.001+08:00

I believe that the discussion on same sex marriage had pass thru the eye of the needle before it passed as a bill even though United States is a free and liberated country. There are also lots of groups that oppose this bill and church will not be in the end line to this issue. We don’t know yet the negative impact of this but one thing is for sure positive to those who have businesses like bakeshops and pastries.

Few hours after the approval of the bill, lots of callers are already making reservations of wedding cakes for their long waited wedding. Some same sexes are already living together for many years and this is their big break because they can now expose themselves and can finally show the whole world their love for each other.

Gays and Lesbians who wants to be independent and free with their relationship, New York is the perfect place for you!

Camera Shy

2011-06-18T16:16:00.000+08:00

I would like to take this opportunity to write something while my daughter and wife are quietly sleeping. How I wish that I have one of the best laser printers so that I can print those beautiful stolen shots from them.

My daughter is getting naughty when it comes to picture taking. She sometimes does professional posing while trying to hide at times when she is teasing me or her mommy. Take a look at this picture. This was taken when I was on sick leave. She's a minute to go for school and I found her so cute in her nun-like uniform but I can’t have a better shot of her. Sooner I’ll catch her with the best shot.

Blessing in Disguise

2011-06-15T20:00:00.001+08:00

We had a staff engagement in our office yesterday and along with that are the flavorful snack. They served us ginatang Bilo-bilo and maja blanca and I don’t know what is with that food that I encountered diarrhea. This is not a big deal like I would be needing a drug treatment so I just told my boss I would take an emergency leave.

My daughter @ 41 months today!

So I was not able to go to work but I am not complaining because I was able to bring my daughter to her school in the morning. She was so cute with her uniform and I can’t help myself to think that time really flies so fast. Sooner or later she will be in grade school, then High school and college. I don’t want to think of that deeper because I am teary eyed right now that sooner she will have to stand on her own and decide on her own.

As of the moment, I will enjoy each time we are together with her silly and naughty acts, enjoying her hugs and kisses. I love it most when she kisses me on my cheeks, my nose, my eyes, my ears and every part of my face and ends that sweet gesture with a power hug. I will always love those things and am wishing that it will last forever. Though I’m not feeling well, it is still a blessing in disguise to be with my daughter the whole day where I can hug and kiss her while she sleeps. Such a nice feeling in the world!

Team Phoenix is few games away from Championship

2011-06-14T16:54:00.000+08:00

We are very lucky in the ongoing interoffice basketball league in our building for having a 6-0 win loss records. We still have one game to go in the elimination round and after that we will have a cross-over game. Our officemates were very proud in our achievements but we still need their support in our remaining games.

Some of our players have their car when going to the venue. We are not asking our company to give us car title loans in nc for our players, we only seek their moral support because other teams, though are not performing well, were very much supported. We just hope that we can win in the crossover game and we will be one step away from having the crown of 1st champion in the interoffice league in our building. Good luck team Phoenix!

Dream for the Family

2011-06-09T13:32:00.000+08:00

I am happily married to my blogger wife. We have been gifted with a baby girl almost four years ago and now we are expecting for our second baby. We are both wishing that it is a boy this time. As husband and wife, we have a lot of wishes and we were very thankful that almost everything is being given to us. As of now, we both have decent jobs; our main source of income providing for our everyday living. I can say that we just have enough leading us to a simple lifestyle. Little by little we are saving for long-term purposes particularly that of which have something to do with our children’s future.

Currently we are living apart from any of our parents’ home but I guess our current shelter is not yet the kind of thing that we dreamed of having. We are now at the planning stage on where and when to acquire a bigger space and a bigger house for our family. I am really looking forward to having my own basketball court, a garden for my wife and a playground for our babies.

Next to it would be a car it will become easier for both of us to get to our daily work destination. We used to dream of having something like Honda civic perfect for a family of four just like what we have right now. But since we love going to places with our siblings’ families as well, we are thinking of having something of larger capacity. I guess a 14-seater van would do.

In God’s perfect time, we are keeping our faith that we can have all that we are dreaming of through prayers and hard work. As for now, we are enjoying everything that we have be it big or small.

Blogging in Iloilo

2011-06-06T09:20:00.000+08:00

I arrived here in Iloilo after an hour, for an 820AM flight, I thought I would not be able to catch my flight! But there, I was able to come here safe and sound, after spending P50 for a 500ml bottled mineral water at the airport. There must be some gold bars in that water, and it must have given me the hydration level I needed as I will be working my way the whole day today.

If I will be lucky, I can roam the place and take pictures with me and post it on my travel blog. If not, I can just do my blogging routine at the hotel later tonight. I need to look into that bluehost review that wife has been asking me, so far she has high praises with that hosting site, it holds all of her blogs and my tech blog.

But let’s see. It is still early to say what’s in store for me today. It’s a new place, new client to visit and new experience to look forward to. Will be back blogging, if my time permits.

From Iloilo, Happy Monday everyone!

Family Picture

2011-06-01T19:23:00.001+08:00

My 14 weeks pregnant wife, my daughter Yena in black and white dress and our little Yushin (my cousin's daughter that we call our own daughter)

The Story of the Hopeless Romantic member of Marce Club

2011-05-30T13:51:00.000+08:00

My wife and I have a heart to heart talk this weekend after we have eaten our lunch. She usually opens up topic like something she wants to eat, shopping, dates, blogs and other silly things on a rainy weekend.

I was surprised when she talked about the story of her hopelessly romantic friend. Sorry no name dropping now. She met her friend through blogging and because they hangout most of the time, they became close. I just wish that I have rifle scopes to monitor what they are doing when they go for a gimik; just kidding!

Her friend told her that she isn’t happy with her love life anymore and that she wanted to start a new life without feeling an option in somebody else’s life. They have been living together for so long and it left me wondering why she has thought of moving on just now if she isn’t happy all along. She deserves to be a priority and never an option. When I heard of her stories, I can’t believe myself that she had survived that long considering her situations. No matter how deep is the night, time will come for dawn and she woke up to the reality that she has her life too to live for and she needs to be respected and most of all be loved.

To start a new life is very difficult that’s why she has to consult with her friends especially her martyr club I mean marce club, the circle of blogger friends where my wife belong. She got the sympathy of all her friends and even me. She had move to her parent’s house now with her child and it is very difficult I guess but sooner she will be thankful that she did it and I know that it is best for her. I hope that sooner she will forget her worst nightmare in life and start to move on. You deserve so much better - someone that will treat you right and look at you as his queen so cheer up!

She is Back

2011-05-25T14:32:00.000+08:00

She is back! I’m talking about our former boss. She underwent cysts removal operation and took a rest for some time now. I sent her a message last time asking if she is ok and I was shocked when I came to the other side of our office and that she is already there.

She looks so skinny but I’m glad to see her smile just like she always does when she sees me. Welcome back Ms. Windy! You have been missed by your Phoenix Family!

Tightening our Belt

2011-05-25T14:31:00.000+08:00

My wife and I are already having a debate with regards to our budget. The other passive income that we have is not that big as of this moment that’s why we are having a hard time paying our accumulated debts through the years.

We decided to spend less this time and even defer doing our usual weekend groceries. But we decided to do our grocery the other night since our daughter usually would search the refrigerator for something to eat every now and then, it is such a pity to look at her eyes when she found nothing. So off to the grocery they went, my daughter for her food stuffs while my wife for her toiletries and blackhead remover tool.

We have not been using our credit cards as of the moment to tighten our belt and to finally get hold of our finances and I hope we can finally pay off every cent of it before the year ends. We are crossing our finger that the issue about our company will end sooner to have our midyear bonus and other benefits that they can give when the business is doing well. With this, we can have additional budget for some things that we want to have. But without these benefits yet, we shall learn to tighten our belt all the more.

My new jogging partner

2011-05-25T14:29:00.000+08:00

I had my new jogging partner last weekend. Some people might think that I met that girl on Zyngle free online dating. But nope. I met her a long time ago and I cried the first time I saw her. She is cute, charming and very sexy.

Her traits will make every boy want her so badly. And I am so lucky to have her as my jogging partner. Some would envy me because we look so sweet while jogging. We held each other’s hands while smiling under the not so hot sun on that fine Saturday morning.

But I am not being unfaithful. Ask me who’s the other girl, definitely not my wife (wifey is pregnant now and she can’t jog but she is sexier when she’s pregnant and she doesn’t needs to jog – hope she gets to read this) I guess we will spend Saturday morning together and she will be my jogging partner. Now I look forward to weekends! I hope that Saturday has a good weather, I can’t wait to jog with her again.

I hope that just like last Saturday, she won’t tell me this words; “daddy, I’m tired already, will you please carry me!” But still I can’t wait.

Mad but Funny

2011-05-19T11:34:00.002+08:00

The mother of my second family sent me a message that our daughter is already short of milk. Don’t be confused, I’m talking about my cousin’s daughter Yushin Alexia whom we consider our own baby, so I call them my second family.

I dropped the milk in their house when I learned that there’s a birthday celebration of our neighbor Donna. I joined them for a while in videoke that I didn’t notice that it is already late at night. I rushed home but was so unlucky that there is no tricycle to bring me home.

I arrived home just when my wifey left the house to fetch me. I know something wrong will happen when she arrives that’s why I thought of preparing my Backpacking Boots so that I will be prepared if I had to run. Quietly I’ve waited for her. And then the rain started to pour so hard and I wonder where she is. I guess that adds to her madness coz when she arrived home she slammed the door and throw anything she holds on to nowhere…

Instead of feeling scared because she is mad, I laughed because she was the victim of her being impatient.

Holy Weekend

2011-05-17T15:26:00.001+08:00

We have a fix 9AM choir schedule every Sunday in our Parish so after lunch wife and I decided to watch movie while the little girl is asleep. We were choosing on what movie to watch when my brother sent SMS telling me that we have to attend another mass at La Salette Silang at 5pm and we have to facilitate the choir.

It was my first time to sing in that place and it was a nice experience. We sang from the top of our lungs since we don’t have microphone for each member. We sung our usual songs so we didn’t rush in our practice. The result was very good and we are very glad that we are very much appreciated by the people especially the officiating priest and he even ask for our commitment comes the next Sunday. So two weekend means, we have to attend two Holy Mass and sing twice.

Back to the 5PM mass last Sunday, I was thinking of our older relatives and pray for them. I was kind of emotional when I thought of my auntie who had taken care of me when I was still young. Now that she is older, I am thinking of giving her best progesterone cream as a birthday gift to her. I sent messages already to my cousins confirming her birth date but there’s no reply until now. I hope that I can do something to make her happy and let her forget her problems even for a moment and hope she will be ok for long.

Weekend Stories

2011-05-09T16:37:00.001+08:00

I was able to watch the basketball game of Talk and Text vs Brgy Ginebra last Friday at Araneta Coliseum– LIVE!

So I told my wife, we can watch the game once again on Sunday, Mother’s Day. But luck has it, it was raining the whole day of Sunday so we just spent the afternoon at home after attending the baptismal of a friend’s daughter.

It was Pacman’s most awaited fight with Mosley, so we decided to just take it easy lounging at home watching and wishing there’s antennas for digital tv or cable available near our area so we can watch it live. The local channel seemed so late in televising it, as usual!

We ended the night watching The Hurt Locker. It was a very relaxing weekend and that’s a good thing I guess. I will be going to Davao early tomorrow so I need to be relaxed and energized. I guess I will update my blog as soon as I get the chance.

Code Name Geronimo

2011-05-04T16:23:00.002+08:00

When the news of the death of Osama Bin Laden broke, my wife who loves to read the news nowadays shared the link to me at yahoo messenger. I was able to read how the raid happened and how the Seals Team Six was able to end the ten years of Osama in hiding. A helicopter attack at a compound in Pakistan, a bullet on his head and the 100% DNA result confirming that it was really Osama who died that night. It was like I am watching some action film. I really think there will be a movie that will come out after this. And i will surely line up to watch that film!

But what amazes me is on how the intelligence unit of the United States come up with Osama’s code name of Geronimo. Either way, their awesome work on this top secret mission is very much applaud able! They did end Osama’s life and I hope that it also ends his evil ways.

How would you feel if you were dead and people were glad about it. That no country wants possession of your dead body to bury you on their land. I know, maybe Osama doesn’t care about that. He would not care too if his dead body be buried at the sea.

Is it time to stop?

2011-05-02T16:01:00.001+08:00

I’m having fun and enjoyment when I’m in a drinking session. These are the reasons that I’m always telling my wife because she can’t understand why I always love to drink even though the taste of the liquor is not good.

When I married her, I’m already in control with my drinking but it is really hard to stop especially in occasions that really call for a celebration. Last Saturday was my birthday treat to my family and we brought some liquor to drink in the resort. I didn’t notice that I’m already drunk in the second bottle and I can’t remember anything that i have done.

Though my wife had used mud masque that time, her face didn’t look better when she witnessed the crazy things that I’m doing. I didn’t enjoy the rest of the day because I’m already drunk. We have game the next day but my body is still shaking. I’m no longer happy with the hangover things. I want to concentrate on my games and I think it’s time to stop alcohol or if not at least control or minimize my drinking spree.

In Different Basketball Leagues at the Same Time

2011-05-02T14:46:00.001+08:00

Because it is summer time, we want to enjoy the heat of the sun and one of the best ways to enjoy it is by joining in a basketball league. I joined one league in our place; unluckily the result was not that good. This game serves as my back-up in diet to maintain and control my weight.

I also joined another two leagues in the subdivision of our boss and the other one is in the office. It is like using Lipofuze when you are in different leagues but I can’t complain because I’m enjoying a lot whenever I play basketball.

We also have another league in our place this time in different team. We are so happy because we won our first game and what adds to the happiness and enjoyment is the loudest cheer of my daughter and my lovely wife. Hope that we can continue to win and gain the unending support of my family.

Birthday Celebration 2011

2011-05-02T14:45:00.001+08:00

We already made it a tradition to celebrate my birthday with a summer outing with my family and some friends. Since my big day fell on weekday, we planned the getaway on Saturday.

I have a very tight schedule that’s why I delegated some of my load to my sister. I let her do the groceries for the food and some snacks and some cooking. I am thinking of postponing the trip but it will break the highest level of excitement of my nephews and nieces. It is just an hour trip so we arrived earlier. The first venue is a no no for our budget since they are charging P 50.00 entrance fee per head compared to some beaches that doesn’t have entrance fees.

Thinking that children will no longer be choosy, we made it in a resort where we will only pay for the rental of cottage. The landlady is very accommodating and entertaining that’s why I thought of sending her mothers day gift baskets delivered at her front door. We enjoyed the stay on that resort because of her hospitality and because of that, we will recommend her resort to our neighbors who are also planning to have a summer outing.

The Daughter is Sick

2011-04-20T11:45:00.001+08:00

I was not able to report to work today. Last night, my daughter has a slight fever. Wife and I change shift on looking after her while she sleeps but this morning the slight fever got worst. She is hot. Since wife cannot take a day off from work, I have to take an emergency leave to take care of her. In times like this, when dengue or any serious illness can strike I want to be with my daughter first hand.

If only illness can be tracked down in a swift like using a barcode scanner everything will turn out fine. Worst case is, I was left thinking on what made her sick. Thinking of the days that passed us by, I know the changing weather can also be blamed. We also had an outing last Sunday and she enjoyed the pool so much. I heard from my mother-in-law that she also enjoyed another swimming spree yesterday at the inflatable pool at home. The fever must have come from too much water, I guess.

She woke up quite late today looking for her mom and she seems fine. I hope that she feels better the whole day.

Pacquiao-Mosley May 8 Fight Insights

2011-04-19T13:18:00.001+08:00

Every time Manny Pacquiao has a scheduled fight, people tend to judge his opponent with their last fight. Sugar Shane Mosley had a very impressing record but was defeated to Mayweather and because of that, people view this fight as one-sided and a probable knock-out for the Philippine Pride.

As always, Manny doesn’t want to be an easy-go-lucky guy that he is not aiming for an early knock-out. He really improves a lot in his game and his attitude towards the fight. His effort during training is still immeasurable no wonder he is harvesting the fruits of his efforts. Though he is not aiming for the knock-out, watching our hero is as exciting as you can imagine. I can’t wait to see this fight and still crossing our finger that someday there will be a fight of Pacman vs Mayweather.

I am sure Mayweather will not be prepared for Pacman’s final blow. Sure it would be knock-out! I’ll put out lots of knock-out pictures of that boastful Mayweather using my epson printers to show the world that Manny Pacquiao is really the King of the Boxing Ring at the present time!

Tips before the Trip

2011-04-15T09:11:00.001+08:00

Almost every week, we are facing the dilemma of oil price hike. No matter how different transport groups protested, they can’t do away with the increasing prices of gasoline. Now that Holy week is just a couple of weeks to go, it is advisable to plan our trip to save time and money. Here are some things to check before the trip:

Check your brakes. Brake fluid should be close to the maximum level. Use your headlights, brake lights and signal lights when necessary. Be sure that you have enough oil to have a continuous trip. The oil must be close to the full level. Water in radiator should be full to avoid overheating. Battery terminals should be clean and free from corrosion. The tires should not be worn out and should have enough air including the spare tires. Refer to the owner’s manual for specifications and other guidance that may be helpful on your trip.

Wifey’s Prenatal Checkup Tomorrow!

2011-04-08T09:41:00.001+08:00

We have been waiting for tomorrow with much anticipation for wife’s second prenatal checkup. Since the first time, her OB said that we need to wait for two weeks before we can finally hear the baby’s heartbeat and know on how many weeks/months she is already.

So tomorrow’s checkup will somehow answer all our uncertainties. We shall be going back to the hospital early in the morning and will for sure see those attendants wearing some fashionable nursing scrubs. It still puzzles me on how the world has made constant changes – even the nursing uniform now has a twist of fashion and comfort. And it isn’t hard to know where to buy cheap scrubs, there are countless stores online that offers them.

I digress. But that’s what life is all about I guess. People change and so do its surroundings –there is no constant thing in the world but change. I was once a happy go lucky man, now I have changed somehow. I am a man who will be a father for the second time around. And I still cannot believe I will change for the better as it is the only legacy I can leave my children behind. Change is good certainly, especially if it’s for the better!

My new weekend schedule

2011-03-29T10:41:00.001+08:00

It’s almost a week when my wife had her pregnancy test done at home. It was somehow a shocking experienced when she told me over the phone that she got a positive result that time, while I was sleeping inside the bus going home.

I don’t know what to say and I can’t react since I was inside the bus or I was in the middle of my sleep whatever. When I arrived home, the PT kit is at the table confirming what I have heard and she is indeed pregnant!

Afraid of what we have heard on what happened in most of our friends’ babies, we decided to put her on leave on all the heavy household chores like doing the laundry etc. Now who do you think will do those chores? I used to do the laundry in our early days together and now I take charge of the chore again. I know the first quarter of pregnancy is very delicate. I have to adjust my time to do those things along with my usual routine.

So last weekend, I woke up early for my jogging and did the laundry next. It was quite difficult to do laundry after jogging since both activities were tiring. While doing the laundry, I cooked for our breakfast to prepare for the doctor’s visit that day.

The visit to the doctor makes us hope. Since my wife has irregular menstruation period, the doctor can’t detect how many months or weeks my baby is. The doctor didn’t hear any heartbeat, she said it is too early to do the tests now and we have to return by two weeks to do the tests. It will be a long journey for my wife and my baby and as long as the baby is not yet out, all the things I said above will be my new weekend schedule. So help me God.

Living with your dream

2011-03-23T11:01:00.000+08:00

I’ve read lots of abdominal cuts review already because having a six-packed abs is one of my elusive dreams. When I see guys with that perfect abs, I want to forget about eating because that is one of the problems why I can’t have that abs too but I can’t give it up. I have a weekly schedule of basketball to help me get fit and finally have that abs but I guess it wasn’t enough.

I need to exert effort that’s why I’m back to the casual sit-ups. I’m doing it before going to sleep at night at before going to office in the morning. I need to finish 100 sit-ups at night and morning before my wife finishes her 1000 calories meal. After doing for two weeks, I can now see a little change on my tummy and I’m seeing a brighter light of fulfilling my dream. With a little enthusiasm and patience, I can have that perfect abs sooner.

Always complaining

2011-03-23T11:00:00.001+08:00

Why do people always complain on something and yet still continuing to do the same? Have you heard someone saying that he/she don’t like the food that she is eating but continue to eat even more? I always heard my officemate that her payroll deductions are always big because of her tardiness and yet continues to come to office late.

If you don’t want to be late and don’t want any deductions, make an adjustment, sacrifice and wake up early. I know a girl who hates to have her pants being repair because of tight waistline and broken zipper. She always complains that she can no longer wear her old dress because her big tummy is now obvious. Guess who she is, I know you know!

Wrong person to ask

2011-03-23T10:58:00.001+08:00

I’m finally with the Sales team of our company. I already transferred literally last week because I am now on the other side of our office. The finance department which I am with before is on the other side also so it is practically a separate lives living with them. There are lots and differences I’m encountering with my new position.

I am now talking with people unlike before that I am talking purely with papers and computers only. I’m with Sales but just an analyst and not a technical one who knows everything about our products. I guess I have to attend lots of seminars about the technical knowhow of our products so that I can answer their queries. I’m shocked when someone ask me about brake rotors but don’t have any idea about it and said instead that I’m the wrong person to ask about that and I refer her to my boss. I guess, product knowledge is what I needed most right now.

Time to let go

2011-03-23T10:54:00.001+08:00

Saturday afternoon is my schedule of games in my parents place. When I go there, I always see our old television and I want to replace it already for better viewing since there are lots of LCD tvs on sale in the nearby mall.

That stuff was bought when I was in my grade school. The remote control was replaced several times already and the buttons on it were all gone and you can no longer watch different channels because it sticks to one channel only. There are lots of memories on that tv but I think it’s time to let go of it because it is too old and it need to rest already.

Costly is better than cheap

2011-03-22T10:55:00.000+08:00

I tried calling the numbers which I found in the internet it is no longer with the Review Center that I’m looking for. I really want to have my review this coming May but when I saw the fees, OMG, it’s 13k with 9k down payment and 4k in equal installments payable within the duration of your review.

It is quite hard for me to have that amount of money and I am now thinking twice if I can have it sooner. It was 2005 when I have my first review and it is only 8k payable within the duration of your review. Imagine how much it increased? I made a study on the expenses on transportation and comfort, the facilities, 13k is worth better than 8k. How I wish that I can focus on this review so that I can have one of my dream fulfilled. Wish me luck!

I have an Octopus Wife

2011-03-16T10:04:00.001+08:00

One thing I admire the most of my wife is her talent in multi tasking. I guess that’s innate to women coz I know a lot of women who do tasks all at the same time and they are good at it.

So I call her an octopus, she has eight hands I guess and more! Nightly right after work, she takes care of our daughter, watch TV, prepare dinner, update her blogs and do some cross-stitching, thanks God for our home lighting fixtures at home her eyes aren’t sacrificed yet! But she doesn’t do all that at the same time, maybe do two of them at the same time like cross-stitch while watching our favorite teleserye on TV or take care of our daughter while updating her blogs in between.

Meet my Fifth Blog!

2011-03-15T14:32:00.002+08:00

I cannot imagine myself to be blogging much more to have lots of blogs! The hobby started as a way to team up to my wife’s addiction. She has a number of blogs, I thought I could write my thoughts too. From my first blog (this blog!), I decided to create another one (my travel tales), and then I want two more (my sports and health blog). I thought that would end there. Four blogs are too much to handle.

But then here I am talking about my fifth blog, My Techie Blog. But hey I am not that techie! I just want to write about how advance our technology has become. That blog might be full of the latest technologies, modern gadgets, yes including electric blanket and electric cigarettes! It will be loads of techie news and bits as I learn to embrace how fast the technology has become part of our everyday lives!

Why Japan has Nuclear Reactors

2011-03-14T11:50:00.000+08:00

I asked my wife why Japan has Nuclear Plants and she said maybe that’s their way to show the world that they are somehow powerful that no country could wage war against them in the near futures. And I somehow believed her. But reading the news today, I wonder why Japan has a number of Nuclear Reactors, fifty plus and counting!

So I searched the Wikipedia and found this answer:

Since 1973, nuclear energy has been a national strategic priority in Japan, as the nation is heavily dependent on imported fuel, with fuel imports accounting for 61% of energy production. In 2008, after the opening of 7 brand new nuclear reactors in Japan (3 on Honshū, and 1 each on Hokkaidō, Kyūshū, Shikoku, and Tanagashima)[citation needed] Japan became the third largest nuclear power user in the world with 53 nuclear reactors. These provide 34.5% of Japan's electricity.

But most importantly, Japan has Atomic Energy Basic Law limited activities to only peaceful purposes!!!

Swatch Purple Watch for Her

2011-03-09T09:35:00.001+08:00

Wife told me excitedly last weekend about the purple watch she saw at Glorietta. She said, it’s only roughly around $180 and it’s sleek and fab and it’s her favorite color plus it’s Swatch!

And if wife is talking endlessly about new things that she saw that means she is very much interested with it. She even sent me what that purple watch looks like a while ago. I don’t know if I will give in this time, for sure she will be happy to have that watch. I shall apply for easy personal loans or start saving. Might give that watch on her 30th birthday in November!

I hope she isn’t reading this and please don’t tell her yet that will spoil my surprise.

When a Toddler Talks

2011-03-09T09:31:00.002+08:00

One of the reasons I always hurry to get home by 5pm after work is that I need to be at home with my daughter. She is three and you know how much toddlers these days – they are smart, talkative and fun to be with!

Last night, wife told me of how much my daughter scolded her for doing too much work in front of her laptop. My daughter Yena told my wife – can you please do that in your office – we’re supposed to be watching Annie now! Coming from a three year old, my wife started laughing and watched Annie with her.

I cannot stop laughing about that. She sure is very very talkative! Plus toddlers aren’t forgetful, she reminds us every now and then that when she turns five years old, she wants a bicycle. When she turns seven, she wants a piano. I guess she will request for soccer gifts when she turns ten!

Sick

2011-03-01T12:59:00.001+08:00

I am not feeling well since yesterday but since I need to finish some report I get to work the usual and even went home late last night. Today, wife has been asking me to just stay home and rest. I have a slight fever and I am already chilling. But it’s month end, accountants don’t get sick on month end! I need to finish some reports and meet the deadlines.

So no matter how sick I feel and no matter how much I want to just rest, I can’t. I just hope that by tomorrow I will feel better.

Peace Offering for my Wife

2011-03-01T12:58:00.002+08:00

Wife and I had our longest cold war last week. Basically, it was my fault. I thought I need to order order Hartford flowers already and beg on the heavens to back me up when we finally talk. I know flowers can soften her. But there, all has been well after we talked and we’re back to our old days as if nothing happens.

The next day, I had to bring her to the mall and give her my peace offering. Not that she asks for it, but I really want to buy her something this time. I was looking for some bracelets but saw a ruby ring and know at the moment I found the perfect gift.

Now the ring she wears since then!

It’s Payment Time

2011-02-28T16:22:00.001+08:00

Do you believe in karma? I do! So I’m taking good care of my actions towards others but why is it that there are bad people who are enjoying the best of life more than the good ones?

We heard about the not so shocking news that some Gov’t officials are earning millions illegally while the poor soldiers are betting for their lives in the Warfield to somehow earn for their family. Is it fair? Can you blame those soldiers who joined the mutiny? I think they will not hold a rebellion just for the sake of brotherhood.

I believe they have something to fight and their actions are for a good cause but how about the corrupt officials in the military? Now it’s time to pay back time for they are now being tortured by their conscience and some has already given up and there’s one who ended his life.

There are still who are still looking for justice and is in need of legal assistance, good thing there’s the ever reliable attorney tucson that they can count on to. The bad ones will not be forever in power. Sometime, somehow, someone will pay the price.

I won’t give in to Dancing

2011-02-20T17:00:00.001+08:00

I usually gave in to my wife’s vices. When she took diet pills months ago, I tried it also because I think I also need that to get me back in to my old shape. She wants me to go with her for jogging, I accompanied her. She had been in to many things that are related to gaining a beautiful shape and I guess she had another one. She discovered the Zumba Fitness Cardio exercise where she currently enjoys nightly.

One night, I called her phone and she seems to be running away from someone but then I found out that she was doing her zumba routine. Whew! She wants me to do the same but I will not give in this time because I don’t want to look like insane. My basketball game is what I love and I find it very enjoying that’s why I will stick to it. Good luck to my trying hard wife who wants to get her old shape but still eats way too much.

Biggest Looser Featuring my Sisters

2011-02-20T16:59:00.002+08:00

Aside from almost identical faces and being on the heavy side, their body built is what can be easily distinguished with my three sisters.

Though we are not rich, their health and looks are what my late father is proud of. They used to be the sexiest girls in our place until one day, we woke up, they already weigh that much no wonder their partners in life are somewhat afraid to do silly things to them. Thank God!

On weekends when we get the chance to eat lunch and dinner with them it seems like there’s a feast! We used to tease each other because of what happened to our shape. I’m calling my elder sister as “taba” (fat) while my younger one as “Baki” the grappler because of her strong and big body.

Each of them will be having their birthday the next couple of months and I was thinking if weight loss pills are the best gift for them or if not, we will do a reality TV challenge in title “Biggest looser featuring my sisters”! What you think? Isn’t it nice? If my wife’s birthday is also near, including her in the list will also be best!

Protective Father

2011-02-20T16:58:00.001+08:00

I don’t know what to do with my daughter’s resistance against sickness. Her colds and cough with phlegm seems to be coming back every now and then and it has been like this for months already. I have read lots of multivitamin reviews but I’m hesitant to give it to her without the prescription of her pediatrician. She has two vitamins since she’s a baby but still sickness seems to be around in a tropical country like Philippines.

She’s the type who loves water so much. She enjoys a lot when she is playing with her portable mini pool but I’m afraid that her sickness will get worst. I want to see her enjoy playing in water that’s why I’m praying that sooner I can have antidotes for coughs and colds.

African Mango for your Diet

2011-02-20T16:57:00.001+08:00

Every night after office hours, I am seeing lots of people jogging around The Fort area and most of them are girls. I want to do the same though few boys are doing it but my time will not allow me to do so. I need to jog to strengthen my stamina and my lower muscles that are best needed when we play basketball.

I am having a hard time doing my diet that’s why I’m thinking of what is best for my diet that will not loose my love for eating. I’ve heard of fruit and vegetable diets but I didn’t know that african mango can also be my best options but I haven’t seen one in the market. I’m a type of person who wants to try new things that’s why I’m sure if given a chance, I will try this fruit.

New Investment

2011-02-20T16:56:00.001+08:00

When wife and i look at our past earnings, we can’t help ourselves but to somehow regret that we didn’t even save a little. But now we already learned our lessons as we finally made our first ever investment.

We acquired a life insurance along with other heath benefits that my college friend offered to us. She also offered car insurance and other educational plans but for now investing in life insurance and protection for our daughter’s future is what we want to focus on. There are lots of options now, like a savings deposit in bank or investing in our company’s stock but we will take it one by one and study what is best for our money. Hope that someday when we are already old, we have something for ourselves and for our children.

I gave in Again!

2011-02-11T10:18:00.002+08:00

I really can’t resist to the vices of my wife. She wanted to have a new cellphone since the last time we bought our cellphones were almost four years ago. She wanted a very high-tech and fashionable one.

Her old phone’s brand is Motorola so she is choosing from Atrix 4G and Nokia C3 Acacia but since she is very particular on colors, she chose the latter one. I believe that she is very happy now that she got what she wanted.

I’m happy to see her happy and thank God that it was not that expensive. Good thing too that valentine’s day is coming up so it’s also my early valentine’s gift for her so she named it Valentina.

Root of Poverty

2011-02-11T10:17:00.001+08:00

I have been in too many places from the time I was hired in my present company and I think that my life is far better than before. Having a better job is really important to have a better life. Thanks to my beloved late father who initiated of bringing us near the city. If not, we would have experience the hard life in the province.

I cannot compare the hardships we experienced here to the life of my relatives in the province. I have seen my relative’s lives in Kidapawan North Cotabato when my mother and I went there to visit my very ill grandmother. Sadly, my mother’s siblings weren’t able to finish their educations so they can’t find a better job than to sell budded rubber plant and collecting rubber sap (receiving 30% compensation from it, the 70% goes to the owners of the tree).

The cycle could be sum up to lack of education that leads to unemployment to poverty… It’s sad coz the prices of basic commodities in poverty stricken provinces are the same in Manila.

A Trip to Becoming Old

2011-02-07T15:12:00.001+08:00

It is sometimes indeed intimidating to become old. As people get older and older, their bones are becoming even more brittle. You can hardly walk the same thing you use to do during your younger years. Obviously, you can no longer run in as fast as you could. You cannot play your favorite outdoor games anymore or even just play with your grand children in the back yard. Sometimes people become slightly disable as they become older. We usually see old man and woman with walking cane on one hand while they still try to roam around along with their tiny hundred steps that’s taking them so long to get to places. We might sometime think that they are just probably taking chances of their last glances to our beautiful world.

Walking sticks for men and women do help as a supplementary device for elderly to go somewhere they wish to go or even in just walking around the house, back and forth to the garden as they watch and smell the blooming flowers. We must admit, as we get older our world become smaller limited to our capability. So while we are young let’s take all the chances to explore our world in as much as we can.

Working on Weekend Again

2011-02-05T10:51:00.002+08:00

No I am not complaining but I don’t prefer going to work on weekends! Weekend for me is a time to spend with my daughter Yena. But there, without a choice I shall report to work today. Argh. Accounting works, sales jobs, sales reports – name it. I have them all on weekdays! So to facethem again on weekends mean torture. LOL

But hey, I love my job and i need to go to work now... Happy weekend!

Memorable moments of our lives are not enough to be kept in our memories. Memory gap is a great risk. We have to have a keepsake that is tangible.. photos or videos! Words may never give justice to an unprecented event that happened in the past. But with camcorder, history is recorded at real time.

You will never have to stare blankly at the sky to remember a momentous episode in your life, all you have to do is get the old albums and reminisce yesterday’s chapter. Camcorders are not only for occasions, it has become an essential gadget in your bag, so you will never have to miss the fun, the firsts and the stolen shots every time.

Men <=> Women

2011-01-31T12:49:00.001+08:00

Men and women are equal. That is what the society wanted its people to believe in. However, there is no absolute fair treatment in everything. The beauty of equality between two sexes is it now becomes visible unlike in the past generations. Men welcomed women in the world of professionals.

Number of women in banking jobs is generally higher than men. Women accepted men in the world of hospitality industry, even in fashion sense. However, there are aspects that could hardly be changed that even people stand by their old beliefs. For instance, men are supposed to always give way to women, as it goes, “Ladies first”. Women are still expected to attend to household chores. Whoever is better than the other, both would never live without the other.

Thoughts before the flight

2011-01-27T06:04:00.000+08:00

Few hours from now, we will be going back to Manila after a week long vacation. I don’t know why I can’t sleep so instead of wasting my time in bed doing nothing, I decided to write my thoughts while waiting. I don’t know if I’m excited to be home or I am bothering on the things that are waiting for me when we arrived? I think it is both.

I met some of my friends in college before we flew from vacation and told them about my decision of transferring to another department. Until now I’m still thinking of what is the main reason. It’s maybe because of my pride that I don’t want that to be under the supervision of the co-employee whom I think is with the same capacity as I have. My reports will be sent to her and I will be seeking approval from her on other matters regarding official business. I am badly irritated when she is asking for report but I’m keeping myself calm but I don’t know when I can still hold it. I don’t want that later on we will be having a bad impression because of this negative feeling I have.

I think leaving my department is best for both of us to keep our relations in good standing. I don’t want writing negative thoughts but it is the thing that is bothering me that’s why I want it to come out without hurting one’s feeling. If you don’t have any good things to say, better to keep it yourself that’s why I am just writing it. I don’t want to keep this long so I’m sending my good luck to her and hope that they will still continue to strive for the good of our department and for the company.

Quotes about Men

2011-01-26T19:12:00.001+08:00

Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then. ~Katharine Hepburn

The first time you buy a house you see how pretty the paint is and buy it. The second time you look to see if the basement has termites. It's the same with men. ~Lupe Velez

It takes a woman twenty years to make a man of her son, and another woman twenty minutes to make a fool of him. ~Helen Rowland

Planning for your kid’s birthday party? Anyone? Oh no, we didn’t plan any for my daughter Yena’s birthday until the 12th of the month, her birthday is January 15! Imagine how much we beat the deadline. We aren’t planning anything big at all but since Yena loves elmo so much, we decided to surprise her with elmo and friends party!

Wife and I decided to hold the party at my mother’s place since we need a bigger place to accommodate the kids. I teased my wife to have Outer Banks rentals or rent a place somewhere but that would need a lot of preparation and besides – I am just joking!

The party was a blast. Yena was so surprised with the party. Wife required the kids to wear red and we were thrilled to see that everybody wore red! It was so much fun to see the kids enjoy some parlor games and some dance show down. We made some kids happy but made our own daughter happiest. I won’t trade her priceless smile to the world!

Choices

When it rains, it pours! If the opportunity comes, they can flood you. I don’t know how many times I wrote about the offer my boss is giving me. I have lots of doubts in accepting the tempting offer since I will lose track on the Accounting side and will be embracing the Sales side.

This decision is very tough for me and I think I will need a colon cleanse because it is becoming stressful for me in deciding. My stomach seems to turning upside down. After seeing my next boss talking to my previous boss, I saw the sincerity that he really wants me to be his subordinate.

My recent boss is also giving me the alternative to be with another challenging position in taxes but after seeing the sign, I decided to accept the first offer. I will be in Sales from now on. I have been in to these situations before but ended up regretting. I hope this time I made the right choice.

Comment on My Wife’s Blog Post

My wife showed me her beautiful post in one of her blogs last week. Together with the post is a picture of us together smiling in Bohol. I think that she used some acne products that really work for her since she has a very fresh looks on that picture.

I teased her that I will give her a year supply of that product if her beauty will last for years. But no, it’s not about the picture that made me love the blog entry. It’s the narration of how our love endures all weather. And just like her, I thank God that we are still together and are getting stronger everyday.

New Year’s Resolution, anyone?

Holiday season had passed and we are now in New Year 2011. I know that lots of people are thinking on what to include on their resolutions for this year and I know the most common is a change in their lifestyle.

Some have set to reduce weight of at least 10 kilos for the year. That sounds good but the only problem is how to make it possible. My wife and I also have our target weight and possible exercises to attain what we are aiming but it is easier said than done -- no wonder we don’t lost even a pound.

We tried diet supplement in the past but that seemed futile since we are both voracious eaters. I am now having my own move of exercising before I sleep and after taking a bath before I go to work because if I will wait for my wife to come along in exercising with me, we will both end up to nothing and we might join the biggest tummy contest. I’m very sure that we will win if we will continue our bad habits.
