Yesterday, we enjoyed shopping at Colon again. We went to metro gaisano and bought floormat, hubby’s personal things, perfumes, and baby’s pajama’s. While we were checking out our items and the saleslady was checking the prices on the barcode scanner hubby found vcd in sale. 2 VCD’s for only 155 pesos. One of the movie he bought was Apocalypto. When we arrived home, we watch it after we installed our new floormat. The floomat was black and white and its thick.
I never expected the movie will exceed my expectations. It is so thrilling and nice. The scenes look very real unlike in some movies.
This movie can make you cry, and will make you love the cast, specially the lead star.

Synopsis: From Mel Gibson, the director of the Passion Of Christ and the Academy Award – winning “Braveheart” come the thrilling historical epic Apocalypto. This intense, nonstop action-adventure transports you to an ancient Central American civilization, for an experience unlike anything you’ve ever known. In the twilight of the mysterious Mayan culture, young jaguar Paw is captured and taken to the great Mayan city, where he faces a harrowing end. Driven by the power of his love for his wife and son,he mkes an adrenaline – soaked, heart-racing escape to rescue them and ultimately save his way of life. Filled with unrelenting action and stunning cinematography, Apocalypto is an enthralling and unforgettable film experience.

One of the ways I show my love to a person is through gift-giving. For special occasions, most ofthe time I have something to give my hubby. This August is our family’s month. Why? We have 3 celebrations in one month. It will be our 3rd anniversary this 26th and me and my baby’s same day bday on the 29th.

I have been thinking about my gift options for my hubby. To tell you, it’s not easy to please a man with gifts as they have very few material wants, but when they do, they really would want so much desire for it. That is what I noticed in men. Unlike women who can be easily fascinated with anything.

I was choosing between a silver watch or an ipod for him. He really loves music and loves to carry his phone at work so he can listen to his music. Problem is, it easily gets low in battery. In just 30 minutes I guess or less, so he gets frustrated. He always looks at ipod for sale when we happen to see gadgets shops while we are shopping outside. But he never ever insisted on buying it or he never asked me for it. He might think its out of budget and not worth it, but surely if he has asked me I would give it to him.

I am so sensitive on what he likes and I highly value and honor my hubby’s likes and interests. I love seeing him energetic and passionate about certain things. I love to see him happy. It brings a surprising tickle to my spine, seeing him happy because of what I did. Even how simple. Like, lets say I went to video city to rent an action movie for him.

I want to give him something more elegant and lasting than an ipod, a watch. I know, he will be thrilled by it, but if we think on which one he will use more, I think it will be the ipod. So, ill be choosing ipod.

After work later today, I will be heading to the gadgets shop to buy him one, and I’ll be preparing my love letters for him as well.

My wish from him? I wish he would bring me flowers. I really do love him, but he has no idea how much I love them that he hasn’t brought me one ever since. He is such a practical man, and
he thinks its too pricey to buy commerial flowers outside. How nice it would be if he would be sending me a special surprise at the office, a bunch of flowers. It would be the best gift ever.

Plus, I’ve always loved his love letters. Love letters not full of fancy words, but those which are from the heart. I know, the first wish is so difficult because he has surely no idea about it. Promise! With the letter, thats easier and I think expected. Any effort he would give would surely be appreciated. If none, I’d be happy I have him. That’s more than enough for me. Plus, it is better to be a giver than to be a receiver.

I know, any material gift will not be enough to tell him how much I love him and how happy I am to be with him and to be his wife, but I wish by any means that in any little thing I do, I will be able to honor him and show him that he means the world to me.

We just had a notification few days ago that our QA department is looking for another QA member to be added to their team. QA means quality assurance, and they are the ones who ensure that all calls are of high quality that satisfies members both on the customer service level and on the technical level. This job if I am not mistaken is less stressful, as you can do your assessment anytime you want, depending on your work schedule, you have your very own office desk plus you don’t take calls (the best part).

This got me interested, however, I have some doubts whether or not I would be qualified. First and foremost, I think I had few absenses in the almost 2 years of my work experience. Plus, I am not really known in our account as a very vocal person. Why? I spent most of my available time surfing and focusing in front of the computer, rather than talking to other agents. Why? I am either blogging, checking other blogs, dropping cards, or doing anything non work related to keep myself from being bored. Aside from that, I am too full with our own family goals and personal goals that I am so focused on it and even in my day to day activities my mind is filled with those aspirations.
At some point, I get approvals and positive feedbacks from our supervisors and managers specially on times when I really strive to do my best. But, most of the time, I am just an average employee not really maximing my potential and showing my best at work. I don’t even dress up very well. In fact, I am comfortable wearing just jeans and a t-shirt watsoever. In short, I am not focused on how I look or present myself. It is just now, I am realizing, times are different and people are now wanting more presentable people specially in the work place.
I think I’ve become too comfortable with my job, specially that I don’t really like it. I’ve always hated the stress in being front liners, speaking up to customers and trying to tune them out when they become bitchy and irrational, the stress of non stops calls for straight 8 hours of work, the 2 am schedule that I have that make me go bonkers and all these. I’ve always always dreamed inside my heart to be able to stop working. But, I believe, if I become a QA, all these will change and all the things I hate in my job will change. It’s something I would love to have a chance to do. Either a trainer or a QA. Those are my targets. I never really thought of applying at this time, but the notification came, so I am wondering as of now.

I may have known inside, that I can really do it, since I know my skills and capabilities and I know that I can do this job or any other job they assign me, but the problem is, do they know? Do they ever know what I’m really capable of doing?
Okay, I am afraid of rejection. So afraid of it. In fact, I believe we are all afraid of this. But, I will face this. I think, rejection is the worst thing that could ever happen. Thats good and comforting enough for me. I think I can handle that well enough.
Let’s see what I will learn from this experience. I’m just going to wait for next time, if this will not pull off. As of now, I am going to speak to our manager first on what tips she can give me or suggestions so I can be eligible for this, and I will also know from here whether or not my performance is enough to be able to apply or what.

Yesterday was a wonderful day for me. Right after a tiring day at work, I headed home, slept for a couple of hours or so then headed to Cebu’s very known street: Colon, where all cheap and affordable goods can be found. I love to shop around this place. So many nice products which can be bought even by average people unlike the ones you see in malls which most of the time can be unreasonably pricey.

I passed through cat supplies stores, hardware, appliances shops but never missed in entering the clothes retail and whole sale thrift shops. I went inside my favorite thrift stores where everything is cheap though the quality may not be really the same as the ones you can buy in big malls.  Still, you can find items for your home that you can buy in good shape at a lower price than what you can buy in malls. All items are brand new, but as I’ve said most of these items are taiwan-made, china-made or japan made. You know what I mean. I spent an hour in an ukay-ukay store and was able to find 2 blouses I liked. Each of them roughly cost around 150 pesos only but if you buy them in malls, they can be sold at around 300-400 each. Believe me!

Then, I headed to the grocery to buy milk for my baby then headed home. When I came home, the hubby was already there waiting for me. He went home earlier than normal. So, we both watched the cd I rented from Video City. We watched IP Man – which we both agreed was a very excellent movie. If you like karate and fighting, this is for you. Today is Sunday, my first day of my 2nd days off from work. When my hubby will come back from work, we will both watch The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. There are 3 parts in one cd. So, there are 3 disc set. I think, this will really be a long movie. I have been dying to watch this, since a friend and coworker told me how nice it is, that it can really make you wonder and cry. Let me introduce you: The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, a story of a man who lived a backwards life. He was born as an old man, and died as a baby. Wheeww! Truly, interesting and one of a kind. Let’s see…let’s see.

Synopsis:

“I was born under unusual circumstances.” And so begins The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, adapted from the 1920′s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backward. From his birth in New Orleans in 1918, across the high seas, through the bombing of Pearl Harbor, and back home again – Benjamin’s journey is as extraordinary yet as common as any man’s life can be. Directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett as the time-crossed soul mates Benjamin and Daisy. The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button is a time-traveler’s epic adventure into the joys of life, the sadness of death and a love that endures beyond time.

It has been 2 days since I started to take Appebon with Iron to help power up my very low appetite with food. Even during the first day, I already observed the effect of the appetite booster. Before, I never cared if I am hungry or not. I mean, sometimes I don’t know if I’m hungry or what that most of the time, i forget to eat a specific meal.
But now, I can’t bear it. I really have to it. Or else, my head will ache and my stomach would keep bugging me as well. I observed that I eat more now, than before when I am not taking it.
This pill is a little pricey. Each capsule cost 18 pesos. I bought a 2 week consumption, and its almost 300 pesos. Anyway, I have been putting off facing my seem to be never ending problem or issue with my weight. I have turned deaf to what everyone is telling me, that I am thin and I really need to increase my weight. That i have made my job an excuse that I can’t deal with it and i have to many things to deal with. Things which I think, are more important than my weight.
Or that I have been hiding my frame in jackets at work, so I would look bigger than I really am.

NO……this can’t be. I need to do something,

I need to listen to my hubby who have been forever bugging me to eat more, rest more and gain more weight. I need to listen to the feedback around me. There is nothing more important right now, that my health and my condition. It is obviously more important than my future goals and my dream of establishing a good life for our family,

More than anything, I need to take good care of myself, if I want to continue taking care of my loved ones. I need to prioritize my health and to nurture myself as well and not just work work work….

For now, fat burners wont do me good and wont be useful to me. What i need is the opposite. It may be most people’s dilemma to lose weight, but mine is the opposite. I continue to hope that this appebon with iron will continue to deliver and will not get tired of knowing on my stomach to remind me that I need to be replenished.

Until now, the miracle of Cory’s death and how it united the people and made everyone sad, is still flared up. It is in each and everyone’s heart. All the things she did for us, her goodness as a person, as a mother to her own kids and as a mother to our nation. Personally, there are 2 things I learned from her life.

First. I learned how powerful prayer can really be. Often, we underestimate the power of prayer. But she never did. All the days of her life, specially after her beloved husband’s passing, she was all there, praying to God. When she has troubles and obstacles, she kneels down and pray. When she is happy and there’s something to celebrate, she prays. How good can she really  get? Her death inspired her children to lead a life of prayer, which became her very strength. She was able to surmount all the difficulties and challenges of her own life, because she hs a very strong faith. That faith allowed her to see through the beauty of life, despite the days when she was in misery and deep pain due to her cancer.

Second, she taught me how loving our children is one of the best things we could ever do. Kris, her daughter, relates that her mom was always there for her.  She always see to it that her children feels loved and valued. During launching of her new shows and achievements, Cory always makes Chris feels that she is so proud of her. She is always the number one fan ad she values the things her children gives her so much.

For these insights, I just want to thank President Cory. She is such a woman who deserves to be praised and emulated by all. I therefore, will try my best to lead a life of prayer and thankfulness.

This is the best teleseries ever made locally. It is really great, as in great great great. Great team up, great spots and scenes, great actors, great story. Everything about it is inspiring, lovable, romantic and so real.

I don’t regret watching the teleseries over. I think, in one sitting, you can watch it for a whole day, 24 hours or more. Once I started watching it, I couldn’t stop. Every scene is breathtaking. Every scene is unforgettable. This teleseries is a masterpiece. And I don’t regret paying for my subscription service at TFC online and only being able to watch this teleseries, even if I wasn’t able to watch the others.

I would like to get a DVD copy of this someday and watch it over and over and over and over and over again. I would like to share it to other people as well, so they will know the real meaning of love.

I love Carmen Soo so much. She is indeed a true role model for every woman. She is not from our country, but she acts as if she’s a dalagang filipina. I love her.

Here are what other says about the series:

Never in my life that I watch soap opera/teleserye. I always say that it is just a waste of time. However, when I start watching ” KAHIT ISANG SAGLIT ” I am enjoying it very much. I am hoping this teleserye will not have an ending because everyafternoon Jericho Rosales and Carmen Soo have been part of my life. They are both good actor/actress and are also both good looking..I am just hoping that there will more teleserye or movies for Jericho and Carmen in the future. KIS is a very nice love story but it will be a much better love story if there is no crime involves.

RONNIE H. GERONIMO

The best teleserye ever. I’m proud of this show as a prouct of Philippine and Malaysian artists. Carmen Soo makes the show magical. Her beauty is so refreshing. Jericho must cherish this loveteam because it brings back his charm.

Next month, will be my baby’s 2nd birthday. We both have the same birthday. She turns 2 and I turn 23. Perfect, right? It makes me think how time flies. I was never able to spend so much time with her as much as I wanted to. I am always busy. My work eats up my time and energy and how I wish it could be different. But for now, we have no choice. I have to do this for her own sake. It’s like it was just yesterday when I was carrying her in my womb, and who kows few years from now, she is already a lady. She could already be busy at school, excelling in class perhaps. She could be talking to me someday telling me that she already has a boyfriend or she could be asking me on whats the best diet pill around. And I could be recommending her an all time reliable diet pill, phentermine . I wish I could stop time and just be with her. I really wish. And I want to see to it that we are close enough and that I get to spend lots of time with her as much as possible.

He’s back. A hero for our millenium. And not a moment too soon, because during the five years (much longer in movie-fan years!) Superman sought his home planet, things changed on his adopted planet. Nations moved on without him. Lois Lane now has a son, a fiance and a Pulitzer for “Why the World Doesn’t Need Superman.” and Lex Luthor has a plan that will destroy millions – no, billions – of lives.

Filmmaker Bryan Singer (X-men, X2) gives the world the Superman it needs, honoring the legend everyone loves while taking it in a powerfyl new direction. Brandon Routh proves a perfect choice to wear the hero’s cape, leading a top cast that cinludes Kate Bosworth as Lois and Kevin Spacey as Lex. And the thrills – from a sky-grapple with a tumbling jumbo jet to a continent – convulsing showdown – redefine Wow. “I’m always around, ” Superman tells lois. You’ll be glad he is.
