I will be resigning from my work as a Facilities Coordinator with Cisco in two weeks time.  Because the hubby will work aboard a ship, I will now be handling the grocery store.  I have no choice, but if I did, I want to keep my job as I have really tried really hard to get where I am right now on my career.  But then resigning from my work would mean that I can have a lot of time with the kids and be there for them as soon as they got home from school.

I can also have more time with my blogging, maybe I can accept more work as an events coordinator and a make-up artist…haha..as if I can go out when I run the business.  Anyways, now I need to have a translucent plastic business cards made.  I am starting a new chapter so I need this. Good luck to me!

I want something funky like this

My first born, Josh, will soon be graduating from elementary school this coming March.  I can’t believe that I will have a kid in highschool already. How time flies, and now I feel old.  One of the advantage of having a family at an early age is having my kids finish their education in a time that I can still enjoy my life and see the fruit of my labor…hehe.

I am excited of the graduation but at the same time sad that the hubby will not be able to attend the rites as he will be joining a cruise ship in two weeks… sniff!

Now all I can do is send him some discount acid cigars to congratulate him of doing a good job of being a good father and that we have finished 8 years for our eldest, another 8 years and were done with Josh’s education. Yippee!

Opppsy, this should be a secret.

My two boys are now certified game addict like their dad.  I have been strict on them using the computer to control their urge but now that their cousin have a lot of ps3 games , they want to sleep over whenever they don’t have classes.  I have asked the hubby to lead by example and not to show the kids when he play games on his phone, so that they won’t think that its ok or answer back “papa play games all the time “.

When I am at home I impose a no TV, no laptop hour and encourage them to read books.  When they get the hang of it they can stay reading for long hours. After that when they have finished all their chores I give then 1 hour each of game time, imagine how big their smiles are.

Gave myself a birthday gift. I bought a bag and shirt from Mango and so loving it to the max! Mango is still on-sale (stared Dec 14) on all their branches so you still have a chance to grab those items  that you love which is now up to 70% off.  Gone to MOA and Rob Manila, but there is more to choose from at Rob. Well atleast when I went there…hehe

l

I’m old.  Maybe I am abnormal.  People usually feels great when its their birthday..but not me! Oh no not me, for I feel that its my doomsday! Since I reach 20 (not so long ago..haha) I stopped counting, and the more the number keeps adding on, I feel more inadequately old.

But to be honest, today I don’t feel as grumpy as my pasts birthdays.  Maybe my weird self already accepted the fact that whether I like it or not, I’m gonna be old and wrinkled.

I spent my day wrapping gifts, shopping, wrapping gifts, and then dinner at Aling Tonya’s at Seaside,  Macapagal.

Here’s to me growing old! Cheers old age!

Christmas is also a season for raffles.  I have attended 2 Christmas parties with tons of amazing items, gift certificates, and cash prizes, but what the heck that I have’nt won anything?  Last time I won was year 1997, brought home a touch lamp that is long gone and trashed.

You know the excitement of waiting for your name to be called, praying and thinking after every name that ”It’s ok  I still have a chance, the grand prize is still up for grabs!” , but then after the last prize is called and it’s not you, I get dissapointed…haha

When will my time come?

I guess it runs in the family, as long as I remember my pop always send entries to this cigarette raffle and not even won a cap or  an umbrella.

Maybe I should consider getting an “anting-anting ” or something..hehe

Yay, my husband’s family has acquired another car.  The problem is they don’t have parking spaces so they need to rent out.  His brother has car-rental business so parking space is really a problem.  If  they park in-front of the house ratio of it being scratched or bumped by bikes and other vehicle is really high as the street is not that wide.  So I told them, what if we purchase auto lifts? Well,  that would save a lot of parking space.  Now their bugging me on getting a quote on how much it will costs..hehe.

Sometimes I cant’t understand why people do the things they do.  Yes, there are times that life can be tough and unfair, but that should not be the reason to self-destruct.  All of goes through a lot of pain and problems. Sometimes on our own we just have to decide to still believe in God and still do the right thing.  I have seen a lot of people go the wrong way and turn to vices that eventually leave  them scarred.  I know for a fact that when someone you love goes to this path it really breaks your heart. This is where true love and patience shows as you really can’t turn you back.

There are a lot of drug rehab treatment centers that can help, and giving your time and support is the real key to make a love one change and recover from addiction.

As much as I want to have to live in my dream home, I still can’t. Main reason is that i’ts still a dream…hehe.

This coming new year, I want to start fresh. I want to clean up all the cabinets of unused items and give it away and be more useful to those that will need them.   I want to do some repair works, like installing quick step laminate on the floor or even repainting.  Hope I  can get a good contractor for this project so that I can stay in my budget : )

My baby sister is coming home on January 2.  I really miss her, even if we’re different in ways you can’t imagine, we still love each other and I can depend on her whenever I need someone to help me.  It’s been a while since we last talked to each other.  I had messages from her in ym, but I was not able to respond immediately and its such a bummer.

One of her message said that she already bought a gift for me and told me not to buy a purse anymore. Hope its one of the rfid blocking wallets I was eyeing, but knowing my sister as cheapskate..haha..in my dreams!
