I promised myself a year ago I’d be in Taiwan or China by 2012′s Chinese New Year yet here I am days away from the celebration sitting at home like I did a year ago. Not much has changed but my resolve to do the things I want is stronger this year … when 2012 ends I’d be free, literally. So for now … let me greet you Gong Xi Fa Cai!
Here’s a Christmas message from my boss delivered by Santa Claus and I have to tell you I absolutely love it. She also sent us a Christmas card yesterday and its hilarious … see below:
When it comes to business opportunities Ellie is quick and would almost always get a head start. The other day she was working on a dashboard product plugin telling us that this will improve the way we see ecommerce and how she’d be able to transform wordpress as a platform. Rosie smirked while I looked at her impressed. I get impressed easily and from the sound of it she looks so sure that it would work.
In Loving Memory Of: Mom’s 4th Death Anniversary
I miss you but I know I’ll see you when I get there
So for now …. don’t worry about me
Am doing just fine …
Really

A friend of mine contracted this famous illness that no anti-biotic could ever cure about a week ago; yes she got her heart broken. We chatted AIM and I listened to her rant, rave, and whine about this guy who’s giving mixed signals. Our conversation eventually led to her saying that she can’t be friends with him anymore otherwise how on earth can she move on. I told her the quote from above and she asked me how did you get over him. Huh! Good question …. I was thinking more in the lines of … am I really over him or was it just bravado or keeping face that had me say I am.
Then one thing led to another and dinner with her and him was set on a Sunday after my piano class. The moment I woke up on Sunday till the time I had to get ready for class I was debating whether I should go or not. Seriously I have not seen him for a year and though I’d like to think my heart is safe am not sure if that really is the case. Was I ready to test the waters? Or will I end up where I did four years ago?
When I saw him and when he saw me … it was spontaneous, nothing has changed we’re still friends and am glad. Am glad I didn’t make an ass of myself by telling him I can’t be friends with him anymore. Am glad that whatever emotional struggles I had I kept it under wraps. I survived dinner just fine and surprisingly found myself enjoying the company of these two people whom I haven’t seen for a year.
Someone used to tell me before … I may not have her as my girlfriend but at least I have her as a friend. At that moment that’s all that really mattered.
Creepy One,
Am just reminding you that my birthday is fast approaching and that you “should” buy me a gift! At least 2 years worth …. Hehehehe *peace*
Freaky One

Freaky!!!
long time no anything, huh.. how are you?
when’s your birthday again? hehehe..
I’ll be in Dumaguete tomorrow until Saturday with no access to internet (probably), so just text me!
Creepy
I have this habit of surfing aimlessly around the web looking for nothing in particular. It is during these times when I would almost always end up finding something. Take for instance yesterday I was just clicking in random various videos in YouTube when I landed on this music video:
Listening to this song made me wanna do two things: learn how to play the drums (that’d be cool) and learn how to play an electric guitar (lol). I have been eyeing this pink Fender Jaguar at a local music store downtown and though I have no idea how to play it, I’ve been thinking that buying it might be a good reason enough to learn how to play it.
Seriously listening to this song … I somehow found myself wishing am some sort of rock star. ^_^
I have got this feeling that if I really let myself lose I’d be quite needy or clingy. I hate that ….. right now though am missing someone. I’ve missed her for quite sometime now and though I’ve tried contacting her through all channels I could think she has never responded.
If you still visit my blog every now and then and happen to see this please … message me. Heck, you know where I live why don’t you come visit? On second thought better let me know first otherwise you might end up visiting while I smelled like a pig in shit.
I miss you bro … its been years since I last saw you.
and so I turned a year older
Amused to find only a handful remembered to greet me without being reminded by Facebook.
Woke up to find a couple of text messages wishing me well and blah blah blah (that was nice)
A phone call from someone I least expected to remember much less call had me grinning almost all day like a pig in shit.
True we used to be close but that was 4 years ago (where we talked everyday) …. now I’d wonder what ate up his ass if a stray text message from him comes my way.
So Thank You … that was a pleasant surprise.
A friend from high school who’s now in Dubai greeted me via chat and I was surprised she remembered. She said “its etched in my brain and I don’t need any reminder to remember”. (Awww that’s sweet)
Then MJ posted a photo collage on my FB wall in greeting …. and soon the greetings came in. Oh well at least now my wall doesn’t look so bare anymore. LOL
My boss asked if am going out tonight to celebrate or will I wait till this weekend. I said … nope, nanimo nai … its just gonna be me and my god celebrating.
Any particular gift you’d like to have? …. Uhmmm nope am quite happy with what I have.
Or wait …. maybe a pink rose …yeah no one’s ever given me one before. I think that’d be nice.
The greetings from those who remembered without being reminded had me grinning “literally” like a pig in shit.
There are those months when the flow of my period is just so bloody strong that a regular pad won’t cut it. It’s during these days when I am at my worst mood and had I been a corporate employee I would have called in sick and not go to work. Thankfully I now work from home and no one else has to witness my foul mood. I remembered a friend once mentioned trying the use of an adult diaper and back then I snorted in disgust. It made me think of a big whiny baby and the image just didn’t sit well. But now am thinking to give it a shot.
Monthly bills are the reason why I work as hard as I do and though its not the right motivation what can I do? Reality bites and it stinks. A couple of months ago I added another bill and that is the monthly payment for my high risk life insurance plan. At first I thought it was all manageable but now I am seriously beginning to question that. Meeting both ends meet is getting very difficult. I just hope things would look up soon.
I come across this website that sells unique personalized gifts and I was thinking of buying a few things for myself and my friends. I was looking at cellphone straps and that product above caught my attention. I find it lovely though I have no idea how to transcribe my name in Kanji. Also found another cell phone strap available for personalization in the shape of cherry blossoms see below:
Now aren’t they lovely? Can’t wait to have mine done.
When it comes to job hunting no one knows the web better than Ellie. I mean she practically knows how to maximize her search on Google earning her the title, “surfing junkie”. When Kelly asked for help looking for Psychiatric Technician Jobs online she didn’t even blinked but just got onto it. In no time she was able to provide Kelly with a list of job postings she found on several job marketplaces.
I have not blogged in a very long time … it actually made me feel guilty like I have been unfaithful to “dear diary”. It’s not that I have forgotten about it; its just that … 2011 has just been one busy year for me and I look forward to it continuing. I’ve finally found something I enjoy doing.
A friend’s birthday is fast approaching and am faced with the typical dilemma of what to bring to her birthday party. I’ve been thinking about it for the last couple of days and I’ve decided to go with the safest choice there is and that is to pack one of those highly popular gifts baskets for her. Something like the photo below:

Who would have thought that someone like me would notice something like that (picture above) when walking across town. I mean I don’t usually give a sh*t about cars let alone their tires but that one particular vehicle caught my attention. I was skimming through playlist waiting for the sign to turn green when ATV tires … quite pricey hence its seldom seen in the streets here. Now if that comes in pink … whew!
Was doing yet another round of aimless internet strolling I landed on a blog where the blogger posted something about getting a DIY kit … I didn’t read through the entire post since my attention was captured by these two pink and utterly cute knives:

As I searched on Google Images some more I landed on several pink utility knives, having a few of them in the kitchen would sure make my look a bit livelier.
I have had this image in my head for a very long time but I couldn’t find it online. It’s a geisha with one of her arms outstretched to catch the falling cherry blossoms while her other hand holding out an umbrella on her shoulder. I researched the web for any image resembling the one I had in mind but couldn’t find it. I finally asked my tattoo artist to create the design for me and I love it. It’s perfect.
This is my third ink and its on my right leg opposite the cherry blossoms on my left leg.
Okay so now am back to taking piano lessons this time with a different school and under the tutelage of a different teacher. So off to piano lessons every weekend and am looking forward to it.
I found a music sheet online a couple of months back and now am printing it to show to my teacher. Being approximately the same age as her its not hard to talk about things and she’s pretty eager to hear the type of songs I wanna learn how to play.
This song was one of the two favorite songs I like from the Lovers in Paris Soundtrack. The title of the song is Lie in English and I find the lyrics (after reading it in English) is quite something. I love it and I am determined to learn how to play this in the piano someday.
I have told friends time and again that I think a car is a liability and that I don’t see myself owning one plus the fact that I could prolly never afford it but that’s beside the point. My neighbor has been complaining about her car breaking every now and then. It has been taken to the shop twice this month and the amount of money it has cost her seems to be increasing by the minute. Yesterday I heard her whining to her mother in law about having to buy a new toyota custom floor mats for her car and that just didn’t sit well with her. Her mom already to her whining just rolled her eyes … see a car is a liability, you’re off taking a cab. ^_^
My friends told me that my ears seem to be eating earphones. The original earphones that came with my iPod Touch lasted only for about 8 months. I purchased a brand new original Apple earphones and that didn’t last a year. At the moment I am considering buying a set of Dr Dre Headphones especially if I can find a pink one.
The problem is I haven’t seen one in the malls here but if I can an online store that ships here I might just buy one.
Losing weight is a constant struggle and frankly my friends and I have probably tried just about every diet pills, tea and slimming coffee out in the market. If you do research on the web you would find hundreds of diet products but the big problem is determining the safe diet pills that work. It is a bit of a stretch really since all these diet pills claim to be effective and safe. I guess the safest way to losing weight is doing it the natural way.
I can’t this song off my head and off my playlist. It has been playing nonstop for two days now … and my uncle is going nuts. LOL
I was talking to Sally the other day when she told me that she has been looking for a company that offers high quality document imaging services at an affordable rate. I am not sure if this is for personal use but it looks like it is work related. Sally started working for an outsourcing company as an executive assistant and according to Mary part of that job description includes doing market research, planning and organizing events, and scheduling appointments for her boss. Of course the pay is very good and the stress level accompanying the job is also very high.
Isn’t that toy just adorable or what? Rheann’s 3rd birthday is fast approaching and I don’t have a birthday present yet! So I was looking online for anything a 3 year old might like and ended up with this pink cash register and barcode scanner. It’s available at Toys R Us for only 29.95 USD and I was really tempted to have it shipped over. Of course it would not make it in time for Rheann’s birthday but I think it would be worth it. A friend suggested I scour the local branch here of Toys R Us and maybe if I am lucky they might just have one of these.
I found this meme during one of my blog hopping sessions and I fell in love with it then and there. So here I am making an entry of my own.
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
My Teaser for the week:
“So there’s nothing to stop you coming home and getting sorted out,” said Dad.
“But I have a cat,” I lied.
“You can get another one,” he said.
“But I have a boyfriend.” I protested.
“You can get another one of those too,” said Dad.
~ p.208, “Rachel’s Holiday” by Marian Keyes; compiled in a book called Thirty and Fabulous!
It has been a while since I’ve read a book and it made me realize just how much I’ve missed it. So glad to have found this meme, now I have something to look forward to every week. It’s a fascinating experience to go through what others are reading.
Found myself at La Marea on a Wednesday night with my good friend MJ enjoying Triple Chocolate Warm Brownie Cup and a cup of Espresso Mocha.
As much as I like it … I am now feeling the after effect of these goodies. A very painful tonsilitis, it bloody hurts!
