A long time of blog hiatus.

And let the photos speak!

THINK

2014-01-06T06:35:00.003+08:00

Today,
before you think of saying any unkind words, think that some can't speak.
before you complain of the food before you, think that someone has nothing to eat.
before you complain about life, think that someone went too early to heaven.
And before you complain being who you ate because of your misfortunes and problems,
think that someone wished to be in your shoe.

When depressing thoughts seemed to get you down, put a smile on your face and thank God you are alive and still around. Life is a gift. Live it well.

A KID STORY

2013-12-30T06:29:00.000+08:00

When I was a little kid, I feel from a tree but I managed to hold on onto a branch. I was up there for a long time and waited. The silence, the pain in my arms, the blood pumping in my ears. Then, I fell, I couldn't remember what happened when I hit the ground. All I could remember was the agony of holding on and the wonderful feeling of letting go, I got hurt because I let go and fell. But it's much better to let go than trying to hold on, knowing that it's going to hurt even more and knowing that you eventually fall.

THERE ARE FOUR THINGS YOU CAN'T GET BACK IN LIFE

2013-11-01T06:21:00.000+08:00

The stone after you throw it.

The word after it's said

The action after it's done

and the time after it has passed

So be careful of what you throw, of what you speak, of what you do and of what you let pass by.

DEFINE SOMEONE...

2013-10-10T06:12:00.000+08:00

Sometimes, you'll find someone you can share your secrets with
-they are called "best friends".

Sometimes, you'll find someone you cab share sweet and intimate moments
-they are called "soul mates".

Sometimes, you'll find someone who can make you laugh and cheer you up
-they are called 'entertainers".

Sometimes, you'll find someone who knocks you off your feet
-they are called "crushes"

Sometimes, you'll find someone who annoys and teases you but you actually don't get mad
-they are called "special".

LIFE IS A GIFT

2013-09-22T06:06:00.000+08:00

Have you experienced either of the following or all of them?

EMPTY but HAPPY

DOWN but SMILING

TIRED but INSPIRED

FEELING LOST but LIVING FOR A CAUSE?

If you have, then you know the meaning of- LIFE IS A GIFT.

On everyday notes I put my accomplishments for the day. And on the extra note portion, I write some reminders for the month. It's not bulky. Thanks to IBON @ www.ibon.org for this cool planner.

January 12- Another stay at home weekend.

MY WEEKLY CALENDAR- JANUARY 01-07

2013-01-07T02:35:00.002+08:00

I dunno what will be my luck for 2012, 2012, 2012 errr 2013. That is! But I wanted to achieve something for a productive year like what I listed and posted last year. Here's the link.

2013-the first ever new year I spent in the city.

January 07- I am still awake and typing this post. LOL!

MASHUP HAPPENINGS

2012-12-24T05:54:00.000+08:00

I need to catch up things including blogging. The ~~end of the world is near~~ errr I mean the end of the year. I still love reading blogs and I don't want to abandon this blog.

It's late but I still wanted to share even in monthly basis of what's happening in my life. Last October 07, 2012, I was invited by the mother and daughter to accompany them to Guimaras. So this is it! We had a pictorial and buying of souvenir items before going back home.

October 21, 2012- I attended the Sunday mass @ Leganes Parish church with my office mate and friend, Micai. Had our lunch @ Uncle Tom's restaurant. Then did chatting while walking from Esplanade to Molo Plaza. We met Ng Baby and April at Robinson's PLace and we headed to Fort San Pedro to watch the sunset.

We got to meet Ng Nor at Salvi's Grill. She treated our late lunch. Thanks so much Ng Nor!

Jumped to December. My Nephews visited us in our new house. They're growing up so fast.

Are you familiar with the Amalayer song? The Antonio brothers ang kumanta nun. Andrai is one of the two brothers. I immediately become their fan. I liked their facebook page and followed them on twitter. I love to listen to their songs sa Youtube. And I even requested for a fan sign. So here it is!

December 21, 2012, we had our company's Christmas Party at Iloilo Grand Tower. It was fun for 3 hours only.

Later at night time, we got the chance to have a Christmas get together again with Ng Nor. Same place- Salvi's Grill!

The following day was the birthday of my office mate and friend, Bec-bec. It's also my sister's birthday!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

2012-12-24T02:36:00.001+08:00

Hello everyone!

Enjoy the holiday guys!

OH NO

2012-11-15T04:55:00.001+08:00

Oh no, this blog is not updated for almost two months na. I was quite busy with other things including the moving out from the place we used to live for several years.

That's all for now. For the sake of makapag update lang. I don't want to abandon this blog that's why. And I want to let you know I am fine.

MORE BIRTHDAYS TO CELEBRATE, MORE HAPPINESS TO EMBRACE

2012-09-17T22:33:00.004+08:00

Am running out of time or am just taking my time. Hmmp! I remember, before I posted almost everyday. This time I just scheduled to update this blog once a week yet it is still delayed. It's better DELAYED daw (nabasa ko sa FB update) than the result is POSITIVE. Back then, I become less energetic and always feel laziness. Yan naman kasi pag tumatanda ka na. Marami ka ng naramdamang sakit sa katawan. Life begins at 40 they say. Hindi ko pa naabot ang stage na yan. I think paikli llang talaga ang life span ng tao as the world is getting old. Since September 7, I felt a stomach pain. Kaya, I stopped drinking softdrink. It was actually hard for my part pero kelangan ko makipag CO kay coke. I dunno until when I can control myself. Ha-ha.

Sister: Magpa-check ka na sa doktor?!
Moi: Gusto ko deado agad. Ayoko ng ospital muna.
Sister. Sino magpalibing sa'yo aber?!
Moi: May burial naman ang SSS at Pag-ibig Fund. Don't worry, mas cheap ito keysa....(Parang the Mistress lang.)

Sabi nga ng isa kung kapatid. Sino na lang mag aalaga sa akin kapag tumanda na ako. Sagot ko naman, don't worry, meron namang SSS pension. Sino lang gusto magsagod ah. Meron pang isang option, I will commit suicide kapag umabat ako ng 75 years.

You know what, I can live by myself (parang Maricar Reyes to Richard Poon on the episode of KrisTV lng ang peg) pero mas masaya kung andiyan ka @coke. Kaya eto, tagayan na. After a week, nagkabalikan kami este nakainom ulit ako ng coke. Iba ka talaga @coke. A meal is always merrier kapag kasama ka @coke. The real score? Every moment is happier with your friends (wala naman kasing dyowa). Mapa-breakfast, lunch or dinner.

The long wait was finally arrived at last. Pumila na kami (Ng Bebe, April Vivien, Harry and Moi) sa first day of showing pa lang ng "The Mistress". Last full show nga lang, yung iba dyan mntik na hindi nakapanood dahil na-late. He-he. Na-miss ko yung tambalan nina Lloydie at Bea after ten years. John Lloyd Cruz is the best breakdown actor!

Friday came. I hate Thursday! September 14 is Ng BeBe's birthday! The nicest and so game friend. More trips to be with each other and I wish you good health. Thanks for the snack Ng Be!

It's the special day of the generous and kikay Micai today (September 17, 2012)! Thanks for always extending your hands to help and thanks for the laugh trip. Wish you the best in everything and the success!

Until next week!

FOOD, MOVIE AND NATURE TRIPPING WEEK

2012-09-11T01:45:00.000+08:00

Oh, I delayed to post my weekly online journal this week coz I was kinda tired from an island travel. Of course it's my forever favorite island to visit- the Guimaras island. Back then, the first two days of the week were great. John, my iloy treated us a snack and we had a bountiful lunch like it's like a feast! So I took a chance to grab this happy moment. This is it! Thanks iloy!

Micai- the thoughtful, the nice and the kikay girl created this funny photo application by muzy. Thanks for the mustache girl!

Finally, I was able to watch the indie movie of Eddie Garcia last Friday. The story is about an old gay waiting for his time of death. It was a nice movie!

And last Sunday, we went to Guimaras island again. It was somewhat a road trip with Micai, Ng BB and her daughter April. We visited Holy Family Hills in San Lorenzo, Navalas century old church and the Roca Encantada in Buenavista. More of this on my other blog to post in the coming days.

For now, I need to sleep. It's already quarter to 2 am. Later....

A HAPPY WEEK INDEED!

2012-09-01T23:29:00.000+08:00

After Esplanade experience last week, I had another happy week so far. I didn't mind the conflict at work. Let it pass and I hope it will blow by the wind. Anyways, Ng Nor and I accidentally met at the BIR office and since it was near lunch time we decided to eat together at Afriques. We were able to catch up with each other. Work makes us busy all the time that we can't say hi even through sms or chat. The friendship and good treatment is still there preserved like a fragrance of fresh flowers. Ng Nor, my foster parent is still approachable and even though we missed her presence in the office she's always our sexy lady. Thanks for the lunch treat Amay!

Back in the office, I was lucky one time to have a cat's nap. Nowadays, we are always busy working. But instead of sleeping after lunch, I ended up checking online activities and reading FB updates almost everyday. Ha-ha.

My client's sibling who is now living in Australia gave me a bar of dark chocolate. I really appreciate not the pasalubong from Australia itself but the essence of love it carried. Thanks so much Mimi!

Last Thursday I went to the barbershop owned by my favorite barbero. He's my suki for almost ten years now. We've known each other from the AC barbershop he worked before.

THE MOTHER-DAUGHTER BONDING

2012-08-26T15:15:00.005+08:00

Ng Bebe and April were my companions yesterday at Iloilo Esplanade. They are the Madurar mother and daughter. Mind you they are just like friends. I love to mingle with them. No limitations, no kaartehan. We were just walking and talking at the same time. We stopped to pause for some souvenir shots. Not to mention, I always like taking photos of places and other people and not myself. Ha-ha.

I was bored yesterday. The things that I only did were browsing, texting, and watching videos. The mother and daughter saved me in the state of nonsense situation. They invited me to join them shopping and in return I invited them to visit the new Iloilo park. We were first-timers.

They treated me a snack afterwards. Thanks Ng Bebe and April for the great time and fun. Thanks for always sharing your own blessings!

ONE OF THE NICEST PEOPLE FOR THIS WEEK'S UPDATE

2012-08-21T18:49:00.001+08:00

I thought it's Sunday today but it's already Tuesday. I spent the long weekend for the first time just staying at home and took some rest. I wish, I relax myself on the beach but I have to stay at home. I am still thankful because I was able to visit the dentist yesterday. That's the reason why I stayed at home.

I am so thankful that Ng Bebe accompanied me from going to the clinic and after the clinic visit. She's one of the nicest people I have. Actually there are so many people I want to thank for. I will feature them on this blog in the future. They are my inspirations!

NOT SO GOOD WEEK & THE BOURNE LEGACY MOVIE

2012-08-11T18:19:00.000+08:00

I am on the state of questioning myself at the moment. Do I have to stay at home or to go out and paint the city red? I have a feeling to enjoy the actual world now. Have a break, have a kitkat? Of course not now. I have to grab the opportunity of the fast internet connection first.

Thinking of what happened the last whole week, I paused...it was boring, not that good. I don't want to elaborate more. All I know is Respect hindi ini-IMPOSE, ini-EARN yan (just remembered what Bea Saw told Maricris during their argument inside the PBB house). I preferred to cry than to say something bad. I tried to control myself and I don't want na bumitaw ng mga salita na nakakasakit sa damdamin ng ibang tao. Not to mention that both parties are nice to me. Based from my personal observation and learning experience, hindi ko gawain to put down someone para sa aking sariling kapakanan. I don't want to create conflict after all. I just do my best doing my duties. Hindi ako nakikialam sa mga bagay na hindi ko trabaho.

On the happy side, I was able to catch my Bes and we watched The Bourne Legacy. I am not a fan of action movies but I gave it a chance. I was somewhat excited to see the Philippines in the international movie. Astig it was!

Have a wonderful night guys!

HEAVY WEEK

2012-08-05T19:33:00.002+08:00

Hello rainy season with a couple of typhoons! Yes, it was raining the whole week. Heavy rain according to my office mate. We were late mostly. In addition, rainy days caused depression. I was like in emo mode the weekdays even until now. Heavy rain also caused heavy traffic (as shown in upper right photo). Ambilis rin ng mga araw. We always looking forward of Friday not because it's the last day of work on weekdays but it's our mani/pedi day with the manicurista Ms. Lucille (as shown in the top left photo).

I missed to have a bonding time with the two local celebrities, Inday & Nyora (bottom left photo). It's been a couple of weeks we did not see each other. Thanks to the modern technologies though. We keep in touch through FB and mobile. Text and chat.

And thanks to Bec-Bec for the jolly spaghetti! (shown on the lower right photo) Thanks for sharing your blessings. We had a heavy snack. This is what I learned from my office mates- sharing their blessings always.

P.S. Heavy was the word for the last week. Heavy traffic, heavy snack and heavy rain. :-)

Am looking forward for the fruitful week ahead! I wish the same for you!!

MY WEEKLY POST- MEET MY TITAS, THE MOLO FIESTA AND THE STORY BEHIND THE COIN & MOBILE PURSES

2012-07-30T01:52:00.000+08:00

Happy weekend! Oh, I mean, the weekend just ended and hello weekdays again! End of July is just two days ahead! Double Oh! Liwat-liwat? Unlimited?

First off, I would like to greet my two Titas- so sexy Ng Bebe (in green) and so beautiful Ng Rose (in pink). I want to thank both of them for taking care of me in the absence of my parents in the office. Don't you know, my father resigned last year and my mother is always out of the office. Sometimes I don't have any idea that she's on leave. Kidding aside. I actually have the so called foster parents in the office.

Luckily, I got the chance to meet my father (in lemon) in Ariel's house during the Molo annual fiesta last Thursday, July 26. Actually this photo was taken two years ago. I forgot to bring my cam this year and last year. Eating is the main reason errr, the bonding moment I mean why we get together. Reunion! Nothing more extra ordinary happened to me this week aside from working hard as in baka-baka eh eh.

Typhoon is killjoy! I stayed at home all day. And the electricity was so jealous that it turned the whole day off to black. On the contrary, I am kinda thankful because I was able to organize my things, did some filing and did knitting again. My client, Silvana, "Vana" for short is so kind to gave me this black coin purse as her pasalubong for me from Manila. I actually bought it from her for 10 php. It's in Chinese tradition kasi na when someone give a wallet or coin purse, the receiver will pay money to the giver in return. I am a grateful receiver myself that I made her a knitted mobile purse. The color is her personal choice. Will I ask a mobile phone in return? What do you think? Lol. Just think of the coin purse she gave me, she asked for some coins in return. Am just kidding.

Have a wonderful Monday ahead guys! Till next week.
