FInally got to sleep!

We're back from the province. What a great vacation it was..so great that I spent almost two days sleeping. My mom was actually amazed on how long I could sleep. It's like I will wake up and eat then will sleep again..Of course she didn't know that here in Manila, sleep is rare for me.

We didn't even had the chance to visit my grandparents and some relatives tombs at the cemetery. I don't feel bad about it though because I went home to see my parents..to visit the living and not the dead.

But at the same time, I wish I had time to chat with former classmates, old friends and see what's going on with their lives. Well, at least I was able to catch and compensate for the many sleeping hours I missed due to work overload.

Welcome back to me!

Bedroom Fix

I’ve been postponing this for quite some time already. It’s been more than a year since we moved here and our bedroom didn’t change a bit with regards to how the furniture was arranged. And I’ve been thinking to move the bed so I can get more space in the room. I removed two plastic drawers already because I really want a bigger space. Maybe I’ll find time to do it just before Christmas. And hopefully I’ll be able to find some cheap and good bedroom organizers that I can use. Our mattress which is a gift is still in very good condition so I am not in the look out for mattress for sale but instead I would love to avail a very nice and chic closet. Our wardrobes keep on piling up and there is no more space in the built in closet.

But I have to remind my self too that there is always this possibility that we move (again) next year. That’s the problem when you just rent. I just hope we could have our own house soon. Oh my PAGIBIG..I need you!

No Ipad yet

I joined Goldilock's PAGBABAGO contest last September, hoping I could win one of the major prize- the Ipad :) But there were many entries that I personally thought were good so I lost all my hopes after reading all the beautiful entries. And the winners I must say were all deserving. Congratulations to you all, especially to the Ipad winner-I hope it came with insurance for ipads package so at least you'll not worry when it got lost or stolen which I hope would not happen at all.

And as for me, I'll keep joining writing or blogging contest-who know I might be the winner next. And besides it motivates me to learn and improve my writing-and for that I guess I'm winning also.

Inspirational Bible Verses

Am always on the look out for inspirational bible verses, and I do love sharing them in social network sites thus inspiring others too. I love reading christian blogs, reading testimonies, stories about faith of people you do not even know really inspires me. There is this one lady who had cancer while pregnant, it's amazing How God healed her and delivered her from the sickness and now the baby is almost 3 years old. Connecting with other Christian women on the online world has help me in my journey of faith. Sharing thoughts about particular bible scenes, encouraging each other and praying with each other. Internet and blogging has opened new friendship for every individual and for someone like me, it is a blessing to have christian inspirational available every time you need one.

Tacloban Leyte Capitol

Another site to visit when you are in Tacloban is the Leyte Capitol. We were amazed on how beautiful the building is - plus the fact that it's very part of the Philippine history.
Located in the City of Tacloban.

Cellphones for sale : ayosdito.ph

When we were scouting for houses to rent last year, I was directed to AyosDito.ph. I thought I’ll only see house for sale there because it was a buy and sell site. But nope, I also saw a lot of houses and condos for rent. Compare to other sites, you’ll find theirs easy to navigate, like for example, if you want to see houses available, you can tick the box that will bring you exactly to pages you want, it says : for rent : for sale : or wanted to rent thus filtering the search pages for you. I find it hard when they all mixed up together when I only need to see those up for rent.

Now that hubby and I are looking for cheap gadgets, am looking for cheap cellphones for sale actually. I feel I need to change my super old model cellphone now. When I say old, it means it doesn’t even have a camera, not even colored. Just wishing we could buy come December.

Another thing we are thankful for the Internet is stuff like this. It’s so convenient to just browse in the comfort of your home and canvass for the things you need. You can even buy without leaving the house. Of course, as pre caution, you just have to be very careful in dealing with online sellers, there are also bogus and scammers around.

Sleep and Skin

I know I am prone to acne and such because of my abnormal sleep hours or the lack of sleep a normal person should have. That explains well the not so good skin I have. But still I try to compensate the lack of sleep with additional liquid intakes hoping it can do a miracle. Anyways I am still thankful I do not have body acne and protruding pimples everywhere. Of course, I’ll try to sleep naman every time I have the chance so it’s like making up for the lost ones. And I look forward to going home to my mom’s this coming weekend. I know I’ll sleep there early.

Pole Dancing.Exercise

We used to think that pole dancing is you know a not so good thing for girls. But it is entirely different now. Pole dancing is now another way of exercise and is a sure way to lose belly fat and be sexy!

Ciara Sotto ( an actress) is doing very good at it. I saw her videos in you tube and she's great! My former boss from a previous work is also doing that and lots of celebrities are into it.

I saw a pole one day (during our vacation in Samar) and I posed like this.

And before I can even try to at least climb..I was stopped by my conservative husband.
I just think it is very interesting and very challenging. Don't you?

BPAP International Outsourcing Summit

I know most of you will agree with me that the boom of the BPO Industry here in the Philippines has brought a lot of job and have help a lot of Filipino families here and in the provinces. I have many friends who work in different call center companies and they are all thankful that at least they were given jobs especially those age were already out of the preferred hiring age of companies today. I just hope companies abroad doing the  outsourcing to the Philippines will continue to do so  because as I have said it is helping the economy of the Philippines, providing more jobs thus improving lives of Filipinos. A lot of businesses has sprouted because of the call center jobs, before, you’ll only see convenience store open for 24 hours but now even fast food chains started offering 24/7 services.

I was once attracted to a call center job but I didn’t have the guts then, but now I will surely consider it if ever I lose my current job.

Anyways, the second annual International Outsourcing Summit is happening  this October 26-27 at the Sofitel Philippine Plaza. They’ve lined up great speakers from top companies here and abroad. Sure it will be interesting one. You may visit their official website for more information. 4th Media is a media sponsor and Search Profile Index will also be there.

Beauty Talks

I've mention in my other blog that I am looking for anti- wrinkle cream and am thinking if a wrinkle firming lotionis okay.

You know I super envy this beautiful actress whom I thought had a perfect body but I just learned that she just went a process where she had her skin tightened. And I was like..what? I don't see anything ugly or wrong from her body, but well to each her won, anyway she has the money and she has all the right to do whatever she wants to do.

If I have the money, I would have probably been to beauty clinic many times :)

Photo Wall

I wanted to have a photo wall in the house. I initially thought of it in our bedroom but up to now, it is not yet done. Thanks to my ever industrious husband who keeps on postponing doing it. Last year, I've got several picture frames as a gift (because I've included that in my wish list) and I already filled it with different pictures of us from different places we've been too. I know it's not as beautiful as those of Autographed NFL quarterback framed pictures but I am so looking forward to having it fixed in the "photo wall".

I guess I have to bug the husband to do that soon!.

PAIN

You cannot avoid pain but you can choose to overcome it - Paolo Coelho

And I so agree that you really can not avoid it, as you do not know when it is coming. You can not even prepare for it.

Don't you wish you know how painful it is going to be so you could at least get ready for it?

Would anyone be ready of the pain of giving birth to a lifeless baby? And at the first place..can you call it “giving birth” - while birth is antonym of death?

We can not avoid pain..

But I hope we can overcome it as soon as possible.

I wish my friend will find comfort in knowing that we are here for them.
