After 48 years, nagkita din kami ni Rowduh!

The Jologs Queen meets the Bungisngis Princess. Hahaha. After 48 years, nakita ko na ulit si Rhoda Orbeta! The last time I saw her was before I left CVG - that was last July pa! Being the good friend that she is, we kept in touch through YM, kahit pa ba brokenhearted minsan minsan ang lola mo, bungisngis pa rin!!!

Kung di pa ako nagdecide na ayusin ang clearance ko at kung wala pa akong training sa Ortigas area, hindi ko pa makikita tong baklang to! Hahaha, so early in the morning we were like making tili sa yosi area! Amoy weewee pa dun sa pinagtambayan namin! Haha :)

At eto pa, talagang it was meant na magkita kami ngayon - dahil on my way to CVG, napadaan ako sa may RCBC Plaza sa ADB Avenue - may shooting, ang artista, si Bembol Roco! Sobrang umandar yung radar jologs ko - feel na feel ko na malapit na sa paligid si Rhoda! True enough andun sya less than 200 meters away from the shooting scene! lol.

Videoke na to sa susunod!!! lol

Linggong linggo eh ang drama mo, Regina Quibral!!!

Mabait sa akin ang kapalaran. Kahit na ba sobrang naging gaga ako dati - eto pa rin ako buhay, kumakain ng tatlong beses isang araw, may bahay na nauuwian, may mga kaibigan at pamillyang nagmamahal at nagpapasensya, sumusweldo ng kinsenas, may mga pangarap na natutupad.

Rewind. Pangarap na natutupad. Mali. Dahil sa mga ginawa ko nung aking kabataan, marami akong pangarap na hindi natupad. Iniisip ko kasalanan ko naman kaya di sila natupad. Nagpakatanga ako, tapos ngayon nagmumukmok ako dahil madami akong pagsisisi? Ang galing galing kong magsalita sa ibang tao kapat nawawalan sila ng kumpyansa sa sarili - pero hirap na hirap akong pagsabihan ang sarili ko na magiging mabuti rin ang lahat para sa akin. 

Ewan ko ba kung bakit ganito ang disposisyon ko sa buhay. Ganito talaga siguro ang pakiramdam ng mga taong halos maubusan na ng panahon - ng mga taong madaming sinayang na taon sa buhay nila. Madalas naman ay pinipilit kong maging malakas - parati kong sinasabi na marami naman akong natutunan sa mga pinagdaanan ko dati. Pero kahit anong gawin kong pagkumibinsi sa sarili ko, hanggang ngayon hindi ko pa rin maalis sa sarili ko na napakarami kong mga pagsisisi sa buhay ko - na hanggang ngayon ay dinadala ko pa!

Ha! Eto siguro ang epekto ng pagtratrabaho ng Sabado - nagiging madrama ka pagkagising mo kinaumagahan!!!

Things to be THANKFUL for

This day has got to be the most exhausting day in my work life ever since the Christmas promotion. 

- For the first time since I assumed the manager position, I had to impose an administrative sanction (and being friends super friends with the person made it 100 times more difficult). 

- I just found out that I will be working 6 days this week. Yeah I was on leave last Tuesday, but I am sooo looking forward to my weekend - catching up on sleep. I have only 2 supervisors on the shift - one is one scheduled leave and the other one is on emergency - I have to fill in. But then I found out that there will only be two managers for the whole 24 hour shift - so of course I had to help,too! I was so frustrated I had to take a break - go to Robinson's with Josh - buy mango sango, pancit malabon and eat our favorite shawarma rice! lol

- These crazy customer complaints!!! IN New Zealand, complaints from customers are taken seriously - there is a third party agency which oversees complaints and makes sure that the telecoms companies do something about them - the two complaints really made my head ache - I am not complaining - hmm.. yeah I was complaining about the complaints!!!

I felt so exhausted and Josh was telling me to take it easy already as I was throwing my body against the chair - looking at the construction site across our building - AND THEN IT STRUCK ME - I AM SUCH A WHINER!!!

These manongs working across our building - exposed in the sun all day - no portable toilet to relieve themselves, it was even raining earlier and they were only wearing their hardhats to protect them! Instantly, I felt a surge of energy coming from within. Here I am, earning a salary which was more than the monthly minimum wage, in just one cut-off, complaining my butt off while real hard workers are out there struggling to make ends meet! 

Boy, this was really an eye opener for me!!!!

Oo na, mukha na akong nanay!!!

Damang-dama ko ngayon ang pagiging nanay ngayong Mothers' Day! Korek, damang-dama ko sya kahit pa ba di pa ako nanay!

Pano ba naman, kumain ako sa SM Megamall - sa La Paella... habang nag-iintay ako ng order kong Seafood Paella, binigyan ba naman ako ng candy ng cashier sabay sabing, "Ma'am, Happy Mothers' Day po!". 

Oo na mukha na akong nanay - ayan ang nasa isip ko. Kung hindi lang Mothers' Day, maiimbyerna ako! Pero pinalagpas ko na lang ang mga pangyayari at sumagot ng...

Thank you!!!

Haha :)

Happy Mothers' Day, Mommy Tess!!!!

It took me 27 years before I believed in the saying 'mothers know best'. It took me tons of heartache and thousands of philippine pesos wasted before I realized that no matter how I hated it when she gets blunt on me, I still listen to her. One blog entry is not enough to tell the whole world how much she means to me!!!

My mommy has taught me that true love is possible despite the distance. My mom is my ultimate long distance love. She lifts my spirit up in times of distress - she believed in me when nobody else did. She loves me unconditionally. I know I will be a good mother to my own children because of her. 

I LOVE YOU MOMMY, HAPPY MOTHERS' DAY, AND YES, WE WILL SOON BE TOGETHER !!!!

I'm blaming that Cardio Theatre in FF Megamall!!!

It was a bad decision working out in that cardio theatre at Fitness First Mega! My throat started to itch the following day and now I got coughs and colds! :(
