Creative Thoughts

Wasn’t able to go to church today because I was so sleepy and opted to rest instead. My back was aching since yesterday. Thanks goodness for the good massage today by Ate Erlyn – my husband’s relatives. I was able to spend more than an hour of reviewing my daughter for their monthly examination in the nursery level which will be tomorrow. I still feel quite tired but tonight, I will rest early and tomorrow, I plan to rise as early as I can and start on my work and life goals for another week. I had a good rest, but we were not able to have fun. So, I’m thinking what could we possibly do tomorrow……. I wanted to have a swimming pool bath early in the day to freshen me up but I realized it’s not possible because I had a massage today…. huhuhuhu…. What else could we do? I’ll try to think about it tonight when I lay down in bed. Goodnight to all!

Early in the evening today, we checked all our wedding gifts again, reopened each and scrutinized all of them because we had to transfer them to another spot in the bedroom. After checking and arranging those gifts, I can’t help but feel really blessed for all of those gifts and blessings we received.

I’m thankful for many things and for the gift of life itself. Too often, we make it too complicated but in fact, life is just simple. We need to live life as simply as can be and not rely on the material things that we have, because they can be broken, lost and stolen anytime. But, there are things in life which are more important such as our relationships with other people.

Life can be great and meaningful but too often we make ourselves too miserable because we keep looking at the things that are not in it. We keep looking for the things that others have but we don’t have. But in fact, in one way or another, we are blessed. We are all blessed.

The location of our ceremony and the area of reception will be in the same place – inside our christian church. We’re glad because we only have to decorate one area; which means less expense and less hassle on our part.

For this event, we won’t be needing a fiberglass storm shelters because we are protected in case a storm or rain suddenly happens during our special diay.

I’m very happy to say that for the past five years of our life together as a couple – me and my hubby never incurred huge loan debts. In fact, the only debt we have and have ever had is for our motorcycle and my laptop for my online work. That’s it.

We’ve managed to live for the money that we have even though it was small and we had to pay for everything in the city. My hubby couldn’t work in jobs which are high paying and so we really had to be contented with minimal pay. It was only great that I had a job then that paid quite well – my call center job. But, for those who are buried in huge debts, my advice is to go for Debt counseling.

My wedding is off about a week from now. I won’t be wearing any of those shining, shimmering diamond necklace but I’m completely happy because finally I will get to say “I do” to the man who makes me happy everyday. This is the day that we have both been waiting for and we are all excited in here. We are busy with the preparations because we have to be the ones preparing for the said event. I’m just a little worried with work because at this point, I won’t be able to do that much. But, I promise to make up right after this event.

I haven’t even been updating this blog and my other blog that much because of all my busyness. But, I’m meaning to really work more on these blogs and also on my full time jobs.

Everyone wants to own their own vehicle. When you don’t have it yet, you do everything to gain it. You work so hard until you get enough money for it. Having a car is definitely good because you will have your own mode of transportation and you don’t need to commute. You can go anywhere you like and you won’t have to put your life in the hands of another person because you or a trusted person will be your driver.

But, you also have to know the not so good things that would come along when you have a car. Because having a car means that you need to pay for gasoline, and be prepared to find a reputable company where you will have some breakdown service or perhaps have your car tuned up. I’m not a vehicle expert, but as far as I am concerned, a car needs to be maintained and that would entail your money and time. You ought to be prepared for it if you wish to have a car.

I bought a dvd copy of the popular series the Fierce Wife. This series is still being shown right now at ABS-CBN but I wasn’t able to watch it from the start and I do not like watching in a way that you need to follow a schedule. I wasn’t able to find a tagalog version of the movie and in fact, it was kinda awkward from the beginning watching the series in korean language but then eventually, I got the hang of it.
There are so many lessons to learn from in this series. I so love it because I feel so strongly about issues of infidelity in relationships especially in marriage. One thing I learned is that when someone hurts you, the best way to fight back is not to wallow in self-pity and eat a lot to the point that you would already need appetite suppressants; but, to improve yourself, become better as a person and show the people who hurt you that you are stronger than ever. This is the only way to gain the person you lost back into your life, in most cases. And I find it to be so true indeed.

If you need to print certain materials for events like a wedding for example, you will find that hiring a printer to do the job will be so much better for you. Instead of buying your own printer and spending a lot on laser ink cartridges, you can just pay a commercial printer to take care of everything for you. All you need to do is to tell them how you want your materials to appear. You need to make certain selections such as the design of your material, the colors and paper to be used among other things.

It’s been a while since I’ve written something from the heart in here. I have been doing some writing tasks, YES, but writing in here like this is my diary? Hmmm, it’s been a while. I have been quite BUSY. Perhaps BUSY is an underestimated word. I have never been able to do much here in our place, because I am always tied to my PC. Haven’t even written and blogged that I’ve already gotten myself a brand new baby – my New Samsung Notebook. That only shows I am really BUSY, because before I would usually write things I am excited about as soon as I can.

If only money is easy to get…….. *** sigh ** I am just glad that God gave me these opportunities and God made me the kind of person who would be able to do such jobs. Life can be boring and I’m glad that I don’t have everything I need and want. That just spells boring to me. I need to be constantly stimulated with new challenges – perhaps the reason why my life is this hard…. I can’t wait to save enough for a 2 day resort getaway. I really need a break. But I need to save first. Our wedding will soon be in November – it’s a really simple one, a garden wedding to avoid unnecessary expenses and stuff. But, I’ll make sure it will be a memorable one with all the important people in my life. Once we have enough money on hand, we’ll then make plans and preparations. We just don’t want to plan too soon. Ohh, by the way, I almost forgot, I will be interviewed by MMK-ABS-CBN by next week for their anniversary special. I can’t wait for them to come and video interview me. I’ll make sure I’ll take photographs of this event. It’s something I have been waiting for, for some time already and I even thought it was already cancelled.

We never anticipated or planned for our 4 year old to start nursery already. In fact, she was already a month late. But, we were glad that when we inquired, the acting teacher who was a nun entertained us and accepted our daughter. Right then and there, she had my daughter start and join class right away. We were both surprised but it was fun and we decided to enroll her.
We never had much time to prepare her things and I would have wanted a personalized childrens sized backpacks that can be bought online; however, we already had a sturdy children’s backpack at home that she can still use plus my husband’s cousin gave us a blue children’s bag. So, perhaps next year, I will see to it that I get to buy her a personalized children’s bag of my choice.
