I am finally finished with the installation of our 3rd site, and its live now. I like the theme I have just installed few minutes ago. It was difficult, and I had to wait for a week to make all this happen, but its all worth it. Today, I am just at home, taking a rest. I am absent at work cause I had headache earlier, cause I was unable to sleep last night. So, I will be staying here taking a rest. I also had to have a check up, so I can submit a medical certificate.

Just 15 minutes more and I will be logging out of work again. Just an ordinary day at work. My eyes are tired as usual for stayin 9 hours straight in front of my pc. Hahays. I really feel so tired right now. We really had lots of calls as usual. Most of it, were very difficult cases. So far, I had 34 calls now. Imagine? Each call in average lasts about 10-15 minutes. Huhuhu. This is really a tiring job. Imagine, while working if I am waiting for calls, I also blog and posts and drop cards? If only you could see me. And if you only knew, how fast I am typing my assignments and this post now. It only takes less than 5 minutes to do a 100 word or 200 word post. And imagine, how tired I am when coming home, and I still have to do a lot of things in the house, plus with a little baby girl? Imagine that. The complex life of a superwoman, a working mom.
But, I have no right to complain cause God gave this job to me, so my family can live and have something to eat. Thank you Lord for everything. I know all my hard work, will pay off someday. I know, that someday you would give me a reward, that is fulfilling. I know, everything I am doing is not wasted. Even if I wanted to cry a lot of times out of stress and fatigure, and even if it seems impossible, but I know there’s something more to this. This is just a preparation for your real plans for me. I knew it, and I believe it.

I am wondering sometimes, how come it is so hard sometimes to follow your dreams, goals and what you really want out of life? Why are there so many tests and difficulties before you get the sweet fruit of success? Is life really just like that? I often wonder why some people get it without difficulty. Like, it just comes to them, with no effort.
For me, it has really been a struggle. It has been a struggle in a lot of things, though I am not complaining nor am I giving up? Perhaps, its just because you can’t have everything?
Maybe. Or perhaps, this is just all a test. A test to help me grow and to prune my character and strength. A test I need to endure and survive. I sometimes wish that life is as easy as finding an unlocked phone. Perhaps, we could all spend our lives enjoying and having fun. Funny!
Every day, I am working on improving our lives. It has been slow and gradual. Slowly but surely, and I guess that’s better than an instant success that you cannot really appreciate very well.

Anyone woud love to get a chance to travel places they’d love to go. Some people even have a list of places they want to visit before they die. Some people work hard the whole year and treat themselves by spending their money on travels and vacations. A travel and vacation is indeed a good break, something that will refresh you after a year of working hard. Those are mostly for wealthy people. That is just their lifestyle. If you’ve been dying to have a great vacation, you can search on the net now for some travel deals. There are a lot of them, you just need to be patient in searching. You don’t really have to spend a lot for that great vacation you’ve been dreaming of.

We will be buying a refrigerator today. We decided to buy one, so we can use it for some extra money. We are planning to start selling ice candy which needs refrigerator. We will also sell fish, to the neighborhood. Plus, we can add softdrinks now on our little store, so that will mean additional income. Plus, we would be selling barbecue. We need a refrigerator for that too, so we can preserve the meat. We are really thinking of increasing our income right now, and not just spend and spend. We have save enough for this, and hopefully it will be a success. We are taking some risk, and we are placing our trust in God that everything will be a success.

We will be heading to Colon, right after my duty. The last time we went there to the appliances store was to buy a new television, and now we would be heading back there cause the last time I inquired their refrigetator was nice and affordable, so we would like to buy from there so we can save money instead of buying from department stores like SM. But before that, I need to google a toll free number of the store so I can ask for some details first.

I just want to capture the comments from our QA, since its very positive and I don’t want to miss it. I’ve been getting 100 % always, but I decided to take note of it and record it starting now, so I won’t forget it and it will make me more confident and happy about my job.

Here’s my assessment:

Grade: 100 %

Melody (My American Name)  calmly walked the guest through the troubleshooting steps, making the troubleshooting process very organized and systematic. She spoke fluently and politely so not only was she able to show her expertise with the issue handled, she showed her admirable personality as well.

Thank you Lord, and thanks to our quality assessment evaluator.

I never had a complete family. I am talking about my family of origin. My dad was the culprit. He left my mom for another woman. Though, we haved moved on with our lives, without him, the memories are still there. You can’t heal emotional wounds in a snap. It takes years, specially if its so deep. Now, I am claiming to God that I will break the curse (according to a dear friend) and fulfill God’s plan for my life to have a happy and complete family. Yesterday, was our 2 years and 6 monthsarry of being a couple. I prepared a special dinner for him. His favorite pork kinilaw which is grilled (sinugbang baboy). To my surprise, he didn’t let me do it by myself, which was the original plan. I was even hiding a recipe from him, which he found and it made him laugh. We went to the supermarket to buy the ingredients, and to buy some food also. He was the one who grilled it, and I was the one who marinated it and prepared the sauce. He kept thanking me, and he ate a lot. He was happy I remembered that day, and made it extraordinary in my own way. I hope we will be together forever. Until we grow older, even during the time that we might be wearing adult diapers already. Hahhha! Funny…

We came from two different worlds, but now we are together. No, I’m not saying he is from Mars and me from Earth. I am not saying he is an alien of some sort. But yes, our worlds were so different, that I wonder how we came to be a couple. I am from a high caliber world, with high caliber relatives. My genius grandfather was known for his great intelligence, courage and great reputation. My grandmother, was one of the best speakers of English in our province. My aunts and uncles, graduated mostly as valedictorians, summa cum laude or magna cum laude. Most of them are now practicing their profession. Some are immigration attorneys, principals, college president/college school owner and founder, physical therapists, seamen, business owners and a lot more I couldn’t memorize. Growing up with them, was totally full of pressure. Cause, if you don’t do well, you don’t get noticed. So, i tried hard to meet their standards that sacrifing fun many many times in pursuit of achievements and the recognitions. My hubby came from a simple family. His parents, have not been able to finish elementary, I guess. His father is a farmer, and a pastor. He’s mother is a stay at home wife. He himself, was a very simple man. Someone who has simple views of life. Simple principles and simple wants of the future. He’s not the dreamer type. We are really two different people, that’s why sometimes, we can’t help but disagree in certain things. But, the main idea is its cool to think that no matter how different we are, and our worlds were before, we are not together, happily with our little one, our source of bliss.

For me to endure a 5 days a week, 9 hours a day of stress in work, I always have to keep looking forward to my days off. These are 2 days wherein we don’t have to go to work, for each week. That’s my free time, after a hard week of labor and stress. Every day, what keeps me excited to go home is my baby. Whenever I leave home early morning, and she’s awake, she always cry every time I leave. I am sad thinking about leaving her every time, and leaving her to her yaya, but I have no choice FOR NOW. For me to endure 9 hours of being away from her, I have to keep thinking about her back home, and her excitement everytime she sees me home. Today, I went home, and was greeted with her giggles and excitement. She was laughing, jumping and shouting mama when she saw me. My heart jumped and leaped with joy. It is so nice, to be home when you have people who will make it worthwhile to just stay home, and simply be together. Just that thought, keeps me motivated to work, and also it helps me avoid always looking at the clock and staring at the exit sign on the door, since I think that I better focus and concentrate on my job, so I can make the full use of my 9 hours. So, when I am home, I don’t have to think of anything else.

I’ve always been a reader and a writer. I guess, these two come together. If you love to read passionately, which means you don’t have to force yourself to love reading. As in, you really like it so much, that you get lost into it, it is most likely that you are a writer too. When you are a wide reader, it is easy for you to write and say anything about almost any topic since you are well informed about any subjects. To me, its a blessing that I love these two so much, which contributes a lot to the knowledge and skills I have acquired throughout the years. I simply love it. As in, I’m so addicted to it.

I can express myself well, in talking, and I can express more through writing. Because of some outside influence, which I thought was out of my control, I became a silent type of person. Keeping my thoughts and opinion to myself. Talking only about it, when I am alone. But, I would say, nothing has really changed. I am still expressive. Though, not vocal in a way, but expressive in some ways or another. I believe, we all have different ways of expressing ourselves. Some express themselves through arts and crafts, and I think that is a nice talent. But, nots that me. I am more on the linguistics side.

In elementary, I was famous for rendering tula presentations (poetry), then in high school, I was a consistent contender for Tula, Declamation, Oration. I even brought it to college.

On the other side, I always knew I had a talent for writing. I always had a diary, and I just love to write so much. That’s why, I had been the editor in chief for our school paper in high school, which was a successful one. In college, I was still the editor in chief.

If you give me an assignment of something to write about, specially about personal insights, I would be able to finish it in a breeze. Even if you give me things to write about like acne treatment, cancer, environmental concerns, jobs, spirituality, productivity tips and any topic under the sun, it wouldn’t be too difficult for me to make up something.

10 minutes would be long for me to finish a 300 words article. So, this is a plus, cause I don’t spend too much time writing in my blogs. Though, I really love it. I love to write and express. I tend to over write. Which means if you give me 60 word job, I would give you 300 words. I am just like that. There are so many things in my head.

Even in my sleep, I don’t run out of adventures.
