Just My Monday Morning

It's Monday morning. Alarm clock set to 5:30 am and the second alarm clock set to 5:40 am. So Ok after the first alarm clock bells, that's my signal to stop dreaming. I lazily stretch my arm reaching that alarm clock and make it stop before it can actually disturb others sleeping in the other rooms. Eyes still close but my system already awaken and if I was having a beautiful dream I will try to continue it and see the happy ending. If I dream nothing, fine, I will think of some plans to make my day more interesting. When the second alarm bells, time to open my eyes and adjust my eyesight in the dark room; intently checking each corners, the walls, the ceiling, and the door. Sometimes I wondered why I need to do that. So I got up stretching my veins, settling my mind yet still feeling skeptical with the whole idea that it's Monday morning and need to do my thing again in the office. Time for basic hygiene routines and sometimes deciding what to wear and how to do my hair. And now that I'm ready, it will be time to walk but almost running actually as I need to drop by at a Filipino hawker to buy food for me. From there I need to take the MRT going to the bus station where I can ride the bus going to my working place. I should have a perfect harmony with time as 1 minute late at the bus station will take me 15 minutes more to wait for the next bus. That's why literally I'm already running just to get there in time. Way back months ago, I feel very exhausted but after awhile my system is already used to it and in fact I'm loving the idea of exercising every morning. It allows me to have extra energy all through out the day. I find it healthy in a way.

When I finally reach office, that's the time to loosen a bit myself, say my Hi and Hellos to my colleague catching what they do on the weekends. Luckily my employer is kind enough to provide us a pantry where we can prepare coffee and in my case cereal or oatmeal for the morning. Usually my first thing is I check work emails while drinking my cereal. I can also take some small bite of bread to make my breakfast complete. Taking vitamin C also is always part of my daily dose. And the rest is work, work and more work.

Sometimes I feel that the stress I'm getting is overwhelming as most of the time, I develop systems, debug codes and program system logics. Quite tricky but perhaps I am bound to compel as my body is actually anticipating such profession because it's where my thing is. Coding is fun but sometimes I cannot elude that same pattern feeling of entrapment like you are always inside a box. Sometimes I envy those who chooses from start a career that can actually make you embrace the beauty of every living and non-living things on earth. It’s not that I regret what I have chosen but it’s just merely giving an answer to my curiosity. But if given the chance, I would love to have new career where I can actually give help and show compassion to people by servicing them first hand like in medical field treating illnesses, managing a Foundation Home reaching those who needs help and imparting knowledge to students which I already did last 2009. And I'm actually planning to go back next year.

I always love to be of service to those who are in need. If someone will ask me what's in my dream list. I would say Hospital, Foundation, School, and Farm. Dreaming is free so it is ok to dream big. Perhaps someday, I'll be able to achieve this. Let’s fly with our dreams.

'Till then...... ^_^

I'm inspired again with Owl City

Ever since Owl City's Vanilla twilight and Fireflies came out last 2009, I was already captivated by how each lyric brought me to a wonderful imagination full of innocence and life. All the songs in the Ocean Eyes album from top to bottom simply captivated my interest. Maybe because I can always connect to dreams, fantasies, imaginations, hopes, and even despair. Sometimes trapping my mind to different horizon to escape the pressure and stress from reality. That's why I always love the fantasy characters in every novels that I read. Owl City songs became my partner here during my first few months here in SG. Wherever I go I always play it in my iPhone. I'm just so glad to know that they have new album just released this year called "All Things Bright and Beautiful". I browsed youtube yesterday and the music videos were brilliant. All I can say is Adam Young (Owl City) is blessed with a magical voice that can actually bring music from past, present and future. That's the reason maybe many people loving their music which includes me. Wishing him more success and many albums to come out.

I'm excited. Few days more and I will say hello to my hometown. Embracing life and love.

Rapture cover released..

Wow, I know my reaction is a bit late now because the cover has been out for quite awhile already, but well better late than never. So Hooray.. I just saw the book cover of Lauren Fate's Rapture (http://lindsaycummingsblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/did-you-see-new-rapture-cover.html). The cover is very intriguing as it portrait a lady looking back to some very old events. The color is somehow putting the viewer to some very old past, mysterious place where we can see from afar some creatures flying. I like it. It's very mysterious. I just checked amazon.com whether it is available already for order. And yes, I can actually do a pre-order now at the price of $11.98. The release date will be June 12, 2012. I like the story really. After devoting some time before reading Stephenie Meyer's The twilight saga, now I'm hooked up to this different love story between a mortal and an angel. I always love the "almost impossible love story" wherein there's only 1% chance for love's survival and the other 99% are all possibilities that it will never gonna happen. I just love reading novels. I love happy endings. Just so fascinating to fill my mind with imaginations and characters.



Anyways while waiting, I just started reading "Halo" by Alexandra Adornetto. Here's the summary of this novel printed at the back of its cover. You may want to read this as well. I will continue reading this tonight.


Halo By Alexandra Adornetto



Three angels are sent by Heaven to bring good to a world falling under the influence of darkness: Gabriel, the warrior; Ivy, the healer; and Bethany, the youngest and most human. They work hard to conceal their luminous glow, their superhuman powers, and their wings. Then Bethany meets Xavier Woods, and they are unable to resist their attraction to each other. But the angels’ mission is urgent, and dark forces are threatening. Will love ruin Bethany or save her?

Time passes by so swiftly...just like a ripple..

I am beginning to miss some people here. People that I have met from my first few months in this new sorrounding. People that I trust. People that I care and will always care. People that at some point I share many important details in my life. From tiny, sometimes nonsense stuffs to big dreams. It feels that I could no longer control the fate and I am very sorry for that. As it is coming to an end very soon, I'll be back to a happy place.. back to the world that embraces me with care. I may have cause sadness to some people along my journey without my knowledge, I may have given false hopes.. but believe me it is not in my intention. In my heart, I will treasure everything.. and I will treasure always. It's like I can already see the finish line as the months passes by so swiftly. I wish all well and I hope someday we can still cross our path again. I will always cherish the funny memories together. The hopes and laughs that we share. Until we meet again .... Take care.....

I dedicate this song to the people I treasured here..... It was such a wonderful journey....

RAPTURE, The 4th Book of Lauren Kate's FALLEN novels

Welcome back to me, *giggle*. Glad I was able to find time now updating my blog. During lunchtime, I surfed the Internet looking for the 4th book of Lauren Kate's Fallen novels. Indeed "Rapture" is on its way now to be released sometime soon early next year. Oh boy, I feel quite saddened as it means I need to wait months to finally know what's the ending of the story between Luce and Daniel, a fallen angel. Whether they indeed twisted the past lives they have been through, making their love last for a lifetime. Currently, I'm reading the 3rd book now "Passion" and while reading every pages, I can't help myself but to feel excited what are the discoveries of Lucinda Price while traveling back in time through an announcer as her portal, witnessing what happened on her past lives. The story is indeed quite captivating and made me still awake at late hours in the evening just to continue reading and reading. Well anyways, since the 4th book will not be out yet this year, I have browsed amazon.com to see some prospect novels to read after I finish reading "Passion". Luckily, I saw two books and I have added it to my cart already. I mentioned before that I read 'Angel Fire' By L.A Weatherly, now I'll be having "Angel Burn", its sequel. Also, the novel "Starcrossed" by Josephine Angelini also caught my attention. I will try to find one more, then I will place my order in Amazon.com. I am feeling that I need to put now a bigger book shelf for me back home because lately it seemed my interest in reading novels becoming intensely growing for every stories that I read, simply captivates me making me feel very eager to jump from one book to another. I like the ones with sequels because it totally gives me satisfaction as to how the stories will end and how each character play an important role. Oh wish I could have my own novel someday. Just one novel, it's worth a thousand fulfillments already. This idea makes me feel excited.


I miss my home so much and luckily somehow, I couldn't feel so homesick while I do my novel readings as my thoughts and feelings will be diverted to the total scene in the story. August is very fast approaching now. I can't wait to be with my family. I miss them so much. And I am very much excited also to see in person my super duper cute nephew. Yep, thank GOD my sister delivered her first baby safely and both of them in good condition now. Although my sister still on recovering process but so far so good. Thank you lord.

Well, I just keep holding on and hope things will put into place smoothly with GOD's guidance and help. :-)

P.S. Here's one book review of "Starcrossed" which I find helpful and will help me decide wether to buy or not. Starcrossed Book Review, Click Here

So far settled..

Gladly I was able to settle myself to the new flat I'm staying now. From making appointments, room viewing, and transferring my things all just done by myself. Gossh I had even a minor foot injury that time I transfer my things. It made me say "whoaah I don't like to go through this kind of situation again!!" Because there's no one I can depend on but just by myself. I hate to ask help. It feels nice if someone will just freely offer it but I doubt it because busy schedules will always be the hindrance. Oh my, months passing by so quickly and I may not notice it the next day I woke up, I'm there already in my city breathing what I call "home air" again. My mind is filled with lots of plans right now preparing for that day when I finish my contract here and return back to my hometown. Wish I can find new job for me there as soon as I get there. I'm starting to update my resume, update my LinkedIn account, inquire examination schedules, contact friends who might have connections to various companies, and a lot more. Well of course most importantly, start budgeting for my projects. From paying some property, house rennovations, putting up a small business, treating myself and my love ones, saving and many others. Soon it will be August and I'm so excited of something. Let's say fulfilling one of the goals why I work here in SG. Can't wait to finally achieve it. Well it will still take me lots of savings to do for the next months. So it's a "no no" for impulsive buying. *wink* but after that, ipad2 for me *giggle*, well hopefully finger's cross.

I'm just excited..

Move out, Move In

Pheww!! 2 days more to go and then I transfer to a different flat. Of course I need to transfer all my things just by myself. Well Yep!! I should learn to stand on my own. I prefer not to ask somebody to help me because it's dissapointing to receive the "No, I can't help you I'm not available.". So better don't bother asking. It's very overwhelming to feel if someone will just simply offer the help voluntarily. But these days, arrghhh so hard to find that here eh.... Well anyway, no worries for me because I can actually manage. I even managed to find a new room for me without asking the help of anybody and despite of the fact that I'm a stanger here in this country. And that made me a little more proud of myself and all the more after reading a SMS message from my housemate asking my help to find a room for her. Sure no problem with me but it just made me wonder and ask myself, "hey, I'm the foreigner here I should be the one to ask help LOL". But it's ok I will try to help. Everything is just a matter of time management and well planning. I am proud of what I am becoming. *giggle.. What am I? A bear? LOL*

Speaking of being proud, I was sort of relieved yesterday after receiving the official letter of appointment here in my office. I just couldn't believe how fast my position changes. I am so glad despite of just keeping myself quite, management acknowledged my efforts and my outputs. It's my aim to always provide outputs and be efficient always. And I'm glad they recognized that. I was so excited to relay it to my family the progress of my career. They were very happy making me feel how proud they are of what I have achieved so far. It no longer concerns me if others feels intimidated with me. Who cares? Weehhhh! hehehe. What matters is I am happy embracing the thought that all of these, I'm doing with a purpose, for my love ones. Oh boy, I can't wait to go home and be with them.

Thank you GOD for all the blessings...

Miles Distance

Distance won't matter!!! True indeed. I may be miles away from my home but that won't make me exempted resolving some concerns there. Well partly it gives me comfort because I still part of every decisions made there. Today what a headache! I made long distance call just to handle that newly hired nanny. We hired her a few days ago and just today we found out she started getting things from us and claiming it as her own. Dishonesty is the worst thing of all. We dont care if she doesn't know how to cook or clean the house for that can be trained but to steal from us, it's very, very bad thing. We don't have a choice but to fire her effective today. Hayzzz, it's very hard these days to trust instantly. We are learning our lesson now. Shouldn't be in a hurry looking for a replacement or else we will be victims again of such modus. I just hope things will still be manageable there. *Sigh*

Hooray.. My ordered books has arrived!!

Yippeyy, I received this morning the two books I have ordered from Amazon.com. It's the sequels of the Novel "Fallen" by Lauren Kate. Although my mind is very occupied lately contemplating and preparing for my upcoming flat transfer, I couldn't hide the eagerness to start flipping the pages of the book as I am very curious to know what will happen to the Angel-Mortal love story at the end. Whether their romance turned out to be a happy ending or a tragedy. Well, can't wait to read it but before that I need to cover it first to preserve it's good condition as I want to collect all the books I read. I am more into novels now that has sequels. The last book I read is 'Brisingr" By: Christopher Paolini, Eragon's Sequel. Although I found the story interesting, I stopped reading half way of the book. Events and characters are all interesting but somehow I find some complexity of the wordings used. Made me a bit dizzy absorbing the narration. Maybe I will just wait for the movie to come out. ^_^

Anyway, my LBC box is very full now with many stuffs I bought for my loveones back home. It's scheduled to be picked up this saturday. I'm excited for my box to reach my place. I feel a bit tired lately and the stress seems a bit unbearable now. Aside from the overwhelming stress, I find it hard also now dealing with bitter people because eventhough how much effort I'd tried for myself not to be affected by them and just continue to be happy and cheerful, sometimes they tend to absorb the energies I have. It's like they want if they are not happy, people around them should not be happy also. Hayzzz many times we have encountered such personalities and best thing to do is to start ignoring them because sometimes their bitterness can actually hurt others already. I just continue counting my blessings and embrace the fact that despite of all, many people believes in me, who cares for me and in fact love me back home. Here's hoping that things for me here in SG will run smoothly and I can go back after my task is done here. I can't wait to be home finally. In GOD's time .. ^_^

Flight Booking

Yaikss.. I booked a wrong date for my scheduled homecoming this month of August. Instead of Saturday, I booked friday. I got confused with this midnight flight schedule and the fact that I have a connecting flight really made me dazzled even more. When I printed my itinerary, I am just thinking that maybe I'll just file additional leave to cover it. I have allocated my remaining leaves for December to spend more time with my love ones, so I was trying to see whether I can make use of one day more. But as I checked it, it will compromise either my schedule of going back to my city or my returning date here in SG. Hayzzz both played big impact a lot. So I have decided to login again to the airline site and change the date of my booking. It's my first time to change flight schedule but I know there will be an additional charge for me. True indeed! There is. The airline charged me 60.00sing dollar as the "Change Fee". Oh My! I know it's quite much. This cost me 2 thousand pesos if converting it to Philippine peso. Huhuhu!! In my mind I am crying. However, there's no one to blame but myself. I should drink coffee first before placing my booking to help me more alert. Well anyway, what matters is I'm still on track with my schedules so I would have more time with my loveones this December. I'll just slash some habits this week. Strictly no coffee session at Starbucks, yet? No buying of extra things unless very important. This week will be a very cost cutting week for me to maximize the budgetting I have allocated.


Anyways, mistake has been done. I'll just charge it to experience. Rule of the thumb (my thumb LOL): "Drink coffee first before making transactions online." Huhuhu.. :-(

Overwhelming

Hello, Oh my I haven't got the chance to put something in my page this past few days. For one, Im sort of a bit stressed figuring out some tiny issues in my flat. Luckily, I was able to find a new room for me to stay. Hope things will run smoothly when I move in already. Hayz, things seemed a bit overwhelming for me recently. I can really say that "No man is an island". I miss my love ones so much these days . I am just hanging on and just continue with my goal.

Pheww!!! what a relief I have just finished a tricky programming today. I was analzing it even last night. Gladly, the user understands the complexity of the computation and we both decided to just skip that part. Well tomorrow I bet, there's another programming module for me. But in the meantime I will have a movie marathon tonight. Staying late will be ok since tomorrow will be a fresh day for a new workload.

I miss someone who celebrated his birthday yesterday. Just so sad I'm not there to celebrate it with them. I miss my "big boy" too. Anyway, days is very fast. I'm excited to go back and cook foods as many as I like. I miss cooking. I'm also excited to see my nephew. Praying for my sis safety delivery and good health for both of them. I'm also occupied lately buying stuffs for her baby. I'm filling up the box for my love ones and already scheduled for pick up by LBC team. I want to add more. Maybe will browse some shops later.

Here's wishing that all things will run smoothly according to my plan and will be able really to put up the business we have in mind. Oh which reminds me, I should continue doing my feasibility study now. And oh yes, I should also check how's my stock doing as of today.

Well, till my next blog.....

My Malaysia Trip 2011

Woahh.. I know I need to blog all the happenings during my Malaysia trip last Saturday. You know I seemed feeling lazy to write something now as I am still regaining my energy after draining most of it last weekend. But I am afraid I will lose some important highlights of the trip so I will really force myself now to at least put here the details. Over all, I had fun and it was all worth it. It was also some sort of eating all day long aside from picture taking and gazing such a wonderful historical sights particularly in Melaka, the world's heritage city. Our IT boss was so kind enough as he toured us around and made some stopovers at a particular restaurants to taste some of the famous meals there like the Tangkak Beef at Restoran Kuang Fei at Johor Bahru for the breakfast, the Restoran Nasi Ayam for the chicken rice ball at Melaka for lunch and Restoran Nyonya Makko at Johor Bahru for the dinner.

We visited two towns of Malaysia namely, Johor Bahru and Melaka or also known as Malacca. I was quite amazed to know that in Melaka, you can actually see buildings built in decades and surprisingly people living there meticulously preserved it. No wonder they recognized Melaka as “the world heritage city”. From museums, fortresses and churches, you can actually see there that it still strongly standing and became one of the famous tourist spots of the town. I was able to see the Porta de Santiago or the gate of Saint James. It is the sole remaining gateway into the former fortress, known as A Famosa, built by the Portuguese when they conquered Malacca in 1511. Everything you could see there is very historical that I feel a bit saddened, as I really didn’t get to explore everything yet. A one-day tour will not make it as the city is filled with many interesting sights and places. Wish I can go back there again and stay for a couple of days. My boss suggested that it I intend to visit there again, it is a perfect spot if I get to stay at Holiday Inn Hotel. As from there, you can actually see all the famous area of Melaka including the A' Famosa backgrounds.

We had also toured the famous “Jonker Market” where you can actually buy souvenirs and much other stuff. We tasted the famous chiken rice ball, get to dropped by at Tangkak store and got to see the "Husband" and 'Wife" Cake. I got the chance also to sit in a heavily decorated bicycle rigshaw or pedicab. That was my first time to see a pedicab heavily adorned with flowers. Tourist can actually take a ride and can be toured around the historic village of Melaka.

I really had fun. Thanks to my colleagues and also to our IT boss who tended to be our driver/tourist guide.

Yahoooooo!!!

Here are some of the pictures I took.. ^_^

Scrumptious lunch

Yum! Yum!

My stomach was so heavy after taking that scrumptious lunch as a treat from a colleague who will celebrate his birthday tomorrow. I was so hungry then and on that moment when the waiter served the foods to us, it was so mouthwatering that I can't help myself but immediately take a big bite on that chicken steak lying so appetizing in my plate as it was beautifully decorated with carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, and fries. The cream mushroom soup was so delicious too. Yaiks! I'm afraid I'm losing control with my diet. Well' I'll just do much effort in the gym this weekend.

Tomorrow, Hello Malaysia!!! Praying for a safety trip.

Be Extra Careful

There's a sudden adrenaline rush I feel early this morning as I was on my way here in the office. I should never in a hurry. Safety first always as they say. My mind is still recalling that car rushing so fast that if I didn't run a bad thing might have happened. Oh GOD! Please forbid :-(. I should never ever under estimate the speed of any car approaching. Some drivers are just not that considerate. I should always take extra precautions especially when crossing roads. And above all, to pray always for protection.

Anyway, I feel a bit exhausted today for as usual I need to adjust a module I coded to fit in the user's requirements. After finishing each coding and if it runs perfectly, a mixture feeling of accomplishment and worn out is battling inside me that I need to re-channel my thoughts to free my mind and let go of the stress. Sometimes if the concentration of the coding is too much already to bear, what I usually do is to sing while formulating the logic of the codes. Through singing somehow it re-channels some of the pressure and stress that I'm bearing while programming. And it really helps a lot. Sometimes I retouch make-ups. It's a bit funny, yeah I know. Because the more make ups you will see in my face, it means I'm so stress already LOL. Most of my friends back home knows that ^_^. Well at least I have my own way of re-channeling stress.

Well, it’s an interesting day today.
Till my next blog....

Side Trip

It's raining but I was quite up for photo shooting earlier just for side trip. I was excited to see that I have captured something nice. My camera is not that super high tech but I had fun testing it. I am very much excited to post it here too. So here goes... Hope you like them. Oh I can't wait to take pictures in Malaysia. I will surely fully charge my camera by then.

This looks tasty.. can I eat this? jejeje

This somehow is telling me not to give up no matter what...

hmmm, i can make a good house out of this one.. LOL

"I need some carbon dioxide here".... says the plant... ^_^

Just New

I am actually just looking at my laptop screen right now while biting some strawberry biscuits as I can't find yet which tempo should I start. The blinking of the cursor seemed pressuring me at the same time I am savoring the taste of strawberry in my mouth. Yaiks, set aside the non-sense topic and I should start write something with sense LOL.

Ok!!

BRISINGR By: Christopher Paolini is the book I'm reading now. I just started yesterday so my mind is just starting to shift its interest from Angels to Dragons this time. Yes, as weird as I may sound but this kind of stories really captivated my interest. I happened to drop by at a convenience store last Friday and noticed this book there. Upon learning that this book is actually the sequel of Eragon, without a second thought I bought it. This is actually the third book and so I have decided to also look for Eragon (Book 1) and Eldest (Book 2) to have the complete Inheritance books of Christopher Paolini. It is also good to read something not yet out in the movie. These three books can be a very interesting addition to my collection. My friends keep on telling me to just borrow from library instead of buying to save. However, I choose to buy the books I read because I still want to read it again and it is actually such a joy collecting these items. So while I can still afford to buy these new released books, I’ll buy. Time comes when other priority should come first rather than buying books. Well at least, I already collected quite a few.

Last weekend, my first time to see what's in SG expo fair. Many items were actually on sale there on a very affordable price. Of course many people are queuing trying to avail all the promos offered like availing laptops for only 69sing, or digital camera for 5sing. Wish I was a bit earlier so I can buy that laptop but it’s ok though. I manage myself to buy a 14.1 Mega Pix Digital camera. The price is very reasonable and I find it quite nice. Not that super high tech thing though like DSLR cameras but it's just well suited for me. It's is one of the latest Digital camera models of Panasonic. I have chosen the color red as I find it quite feminine. Also, added to my joy lots of freebies along with it were given with no extra charge. They gave me 8GB memory card, a card reader, a mini tripod, camera case and LCD screen protector. Despite of the heat and the number of the crowd, I think my visit there was all worth it. I also bought a HP colour printer worth 39 sing dollar only, a laptop bag @15 sing dollar and a usb fan at 2.90sing dollar. To convert in Philippine Peso, just need to multiply it by 34.50. Not bad right? I mean to get an authentic gadget at an affordable price sounds very reasonable. So I'll say 'Yippee".

Well, I'm also happy because I bought something special for my love ones too back home and they really love it. I'm so excited to see it and to also use it when I get back there very soon. So far, things are still in place according to my plan. I just need to focus saving this time and lessen my spending unless really very important so I would be able to reach my goal why I work at such distance from home. A little sacrifice is really required. Just have faith and all my prayers for my love ones and myself. I am fervently hoping and praying that things will run smoothly.

Anyway, I am excited to test some shots using my simple but cute digital camera. I will try to post some of my shots here. I'll try to explore how I can interpret angles of a certain object. Exciting…

Burp!!

Bee-hon and fried chicken plus sweetened mango juice satisfies my hungry stomach after a long hour of programming today. I feel a bit full now so while relaxing, I was thinking why not go open my laptop and do blogging. So here goes.... tadahhhh LOL.

*Sigh* I wonder when can I stop programming jobs? In my mind I wanted to stop after my contract expires and that would be my 12 yrs of programming already. Pheww it's challenging but it is surely a pain in the brain. What if I shift career, it would be nice. Do I still have the luxury of time and money to study medicine? I wonder how it feels if somebody will regard me as a doctor. It will be so cool, I think. Well just a wishful thinking *giggle*. Anyways, my feasibility study is on the run now and hopefully I will manage to finish it including the financial statements. I am seeing that one requirement to put up the business I want is to have a Point-of-sale terminal. This is a bit expensive if I will buy this so I have decided to create it myself to lessen my investment budget. I can make use of the free RDBMS offered, like for instance MYSQL. Hayzzz so there's goes programming again LOL. So it's hard to be separated from this profession huh.

Pointing other matters, well I'm glad I was able to give some space for myself lately. Taking a break from some things indeed helps. The only thing is, it made me read novels so much that whenever I can find time anywhere, I will find myself flipping the pages of that book I'm into again. And I also notice it made me write a lot too. Sharing my thoughts to anonymous. I just finished reading "Angels" earlier and now I'm thinking what to read next. My ordered books will take sometime to reach me. Perhaps I just read again "Host" of Stephenie Meyer. I like her books because of the wordings she chooses when describing the whole picture. It's like she's really putting the readers inside the world she built in the story. "Host" is nice novel too as it talks about aliens and how it came to know and feel what is humanly love.

Yaiks.. feeling sleepy already... zzzzzz

P.S this Saturday will be an extra fun day, I hope. Gazing air force stuff... cool!!

Yawn Monday

It feels a bit heavy this morning since I have very less sleep last night. It is striking again and cannot sleep well here at night. I'm fighting it as our body really needed enough sleep and rest. It seemed that when I'm here many things disturbing my mind. Endless thoughts of something making my mind always busy. That's why my last option is to read something so my thoughts will be drifted to one subject only, the one I read. I am wanting more to go home now as it feels as if it is so unbearable already away from my love ones. It is making me feel sad most of the time. Will just have to finish what I have started so I can give a proper exit. Wish I can make it today. Although my eyes are so wide awake, it feels like I'm dreaming LOL. Goodluck to me then.


Happy Yawn Monday!!!!

A June Gift

Wheww Friday at last and next week would be the last week for the month of May. Can't wait for June to start, and then July, August and so forth LOL. Pardon my impatience but I just can't wait returning to my homeland to be with my love ones. I feel that at this time, I'm eaten up already with many circumstances making me feel exhausted, in defeat. It's like I don't want to play very strong anymore and just allow myself to submit with the flow. It feels that finally I'm consumed already with experiences and the last thing to do now is to be with my family. Too long I was given the freedom to do what I want and I really appreciate it so much that there's a man in my life who understands my needs and who always supports me all the way. I may be unfair most of the time but he just remains quite and understands me. I was blessed indeed to embrace so much trust and believe in me. Many times I have encountered people who feels intimidated with me and even envies some of my little achievements. That “ego” thing? LOL I find them a bit annoying because they just dont know what I have gone through just to move where they moves. The last thing I can do is to stay away from them. They have given me no choice rather than hurting myself trying to please them which is not my forte anymore. But despite of that I am still happy because there's only one man in the world that never feels this way towards me. Who laughs when I laugh, who cries when I cry, feels pain when I get hurt and most importantly who loves the people whom I also love. He feels my achievement is also his achievement rather than seeing me as a tough competitor like the rest I have known so far. I am so happy to realize now that GOD indeed knows how to make two people see and feel each other. And I am glad my path leads me to him and I'm praying that the bond will remain strong despite of anything. His words still lingers in my mind now "If I will be given another chance to choose a person, I will still choose you." I am so blessed indeed to have him.

June is approaching and I need to find a birthday gift for him. Wish I can be with him but although distance is between us, he knew my sincerest care and love. I will just find ways how to deliver it. My mind is scanning what gift to give, as I want to surprise him. I will start doing some window-shopping at this early. Anyway, will be going to Malaysia soon with my colleagues for a one-day tour. Perhaps I can find something from there.

Oh about my novel readings, I'm now half way reading Angels. I think I need to find another book to read next week. Many books to wait now aside from TORMENT and PASSION by Lauren Kate, I think I will be getting also the sequel of ANGEL which are ANGEL FIRE and ANGEL FEVER by L.A. Weatherly. I think I need to buy another bookshelf when I return home. I want to compile all the books I read as my collection. My son loves to read too, he may want to read it too later when he finds himself into novels already.

By the way, "Happy Wedding Anniversary to my mom and dad. Get well soon mom"

Till my next blog.

Novels of Angels

Yes!! Saturday indeed. Time for me to relax my mind because these past couple of weeks I've been hurrying to finish all the programming jobs assigned to me. As much as possible, I don't want to live negative impression towards me like I cannot do my job or took me sometime to finish it. It's very important to establish one's work reputation because you wouldn't know when you will need it as a support in proving your worth in the future. Well so far though, things are still manageable it's just that headaches are really inevitable.

But anyway, I feel excited to start flipping the pages of the book I newly bought. The title is "Angel" by L.A. Weatherly. I'm into stories of angels this time as I don't want to break the momentum I've got from my previous readings which is "Fallen". I'm actually so excited to continue reading its sequel "Torment" but it's not yet out in the Bookstores here in SG since its release date will be this coming June 14, 2011. So what I did was to pre-order it at amazon.com. And guess what? The price they charge me is cheaper since it is pre-ordered. Now I got the technique *wink*. So I ordered the two sequels "Torment" and "Passion" which will be delivered to me by July. So while waiting for it, I have decided to have "Angels". As I read some of the previews of this book, it sound very interesting also as it talks about again Angels falling in love but this time an assassin angel fell in love to one of his target, another angel. Interesting right? You might want to read it too. It's out in the bookstore already.

Happy reading...

Fallen

I am almost finish reading the New York Times Bestseller novel of Lauren Kate "FALLEN". I find the story very interesting as it tells about fallen angels battling between what's good and bad giving balance to our world and how this one angel falls in love with a mortal girl. It's like their love story is happening over and over again as this angle gets to live forever while she gets reincarnated over and over again. Every 17 years they found each other. The very hurting part is he mourns over and over again too because he sees how the girl died. The story is very intriguing and I can't wait to go to a bookstore nearby and get a copy of the second book, it's sequel "TORMENT". Hope it's available now because I can't wait to imagine how the story goes. So cute..

Well, stories I like to read most of the time are those with not so natural happenings. From vampires, wolves, aliens and now angels. I like it so much. Reading something about a certain creatures, kings, queens, kingdoms makes my interest very captivated. When I get back to my hometown, I planned to buy another bookshelf so I can preserve all the books I read as my collection. I noticed my son loves to read too. Right now, he already have multiple collection of Geronimo Stilton books. I also planned to organize a separate bookshelf for him.

I just love reading...... *wink*

Rainy Tuesday Morning

Whewww I can smell the breathing of the ground this morning as it finally rains after embracing the very hot air these past couple of days. Day and Night, it feels like I wanted to take a bath over and over again or plunge myself into a cold pool and stay there for many minutes. Missing my hometown more as my place is very near to beach resorts and whenever we like it, we just go there and hang out, feel the cold breeze of the air bringing many memories to one's mind. I like it so much. Very soon I will embrace it again and of course I will also miss here. But for sure, I will treasure the experience and memories.

Anyway, this morning I find it very interesting. First, the place where I was seated in the bus is same where I was sitting yesterday and same person is sitting beside me. I don't know him, a stranger but he seemed friendly and interesting. Hope I got the chance to become his friend, as he seemed to be a nice, mature and formal person. It's like our mind is talking; flooded with questions like who is she/he? Is he/she Chinese or not? Where is she/he working? hehehehe funny stuffs. If given the chance, I would be very glad to be his friend.

Well, today will be a tough day. I am catching bugs of the programs I'm coding. It made my brain so exhausted yesterday and I should solve it today. During breaks, I want to continue doing my feasibility study. Many things to be done for the upcoming business I would like to venture. This is in preparation for my returning to my hometown. Hayzzz I feel sad because my friend will be going to Canada and will work there. Of course I am happy for him. It's just that on my first few days of stay here in SG, he is the one who really helped me. I am going to miss him. I think that is really life, people come and go. So I'd better do my thing also for very soon, I too will move on. Anyways, wish I would have enough time to prepare everything. Many ideas are flooding to my mind now and I can't wait to put it into writing. My MBA classmate also contributed important details last Friday night and I was so glad to hear it because at this time, it didn’t crossed to my mind. It's like my research is doing a FDG (Focus Discussion Group). *Sigh*, I missed my MBA days. Hope I will really put this up. I'm excited...

Dissapointed

Hayzzz.. I feel so disappointed at one thing today. After all my countless effort to clarify an account in Phil still no avail up to now. I even made international long distance call to my MBA classmate whom I believe can help me verifying it. Other side I'm so glad of his effort trying to help me. It's just that I feel very stressed already with all these things. So I’ve decided to just close it when I get back there. I don’t want anymore the service. Just so dissatisfying. *Sigh*

Checking My Itinerary List

My mind is so drifted with many possible things to put into my itinerary list in order to reach my goal next year. Partly I am happy to realize that I can now put a check mark in my number one list, Philippine Stocks. I haven't imagine how surprisingly fun it is studying the trend of economy and how a stock is affected. Ok so my number two which fortunately I have managed to start doing it now, “Feasibility Study”. Also excited to finish it and to actually put it into realization. Third on the list, Hmmm I think it will involve a little bit more of technical aspect this time. I need to apply my IT skills rather buying it, which will just make an add-on cost to my investment requirements. What’s the fourth? I’m not sure yet at this time but I feel that it will involve more on paper works like business registration and many others. I’ll just go on with flow and will make necessary adjustments whatever necessary.

It's exciting to think about it really and I’m sincerely hoping that I will be able to accomplish my goal. I will be glad to become an entrepreneur even just a small time one. The idea of applying what I have learned out from my 2yr and half of MBA years makes my feet lifted from the ground and can’t wait to do it.

Well in the meantime, I need to do well in my present job now because I'll be getting all financial resources from my salary. Hope things will turn out smoothly.

It's fun conceptualizing ideas, doing research and preparing for it.

I feel so excited. Hooray!!

Minsan Pa (Once Again)

There is one song that I would really love to perform on stage. It's just that I haven't got the chance to choose it every time someone ask me to sing in front of a crowd. It's a classic Filipino song but I really love the melody. The title is "Minsan Pa" (Once Again). It was performed by Filipino actress/singer Zsa-Zsa Padilla way back 1980's. I actually wanted to see whether I can sing it with justice or not hehehe. I'm not really that good but it feels great to at least be on the right tune though I still need some professional help in terms of refining my voice. So, I did some fun yesterday. I researched the song as well as its lyrics. Downloaded and installed in my mobile a sound recorder and recorded my voice while singing it. Well, the result is really not like a pro. Just a simple one but I'm having so fun while doing it. I have decided to post it here in my page not that I want to scare the readers or something hehehe but would just love to preserve a copy of it. It's actually the happy thoughts while doing it and ofcourse my passion in singing. This is a tagalog song but I have manage to find the English interpretation of the lyrics courtesy of Lyrics Translate . If you like, you can sing along with me. Just don't mind the other noises you will hear in the background. I'm just in the vicinity of my room having all the noises coming in from my window. Of course I opened my window so others in the flat will not be wondering what is happening with me and why I'm sort of screaming.. like scaring somebody hehehehe.

Anyways, Happy listening... I Hope ^_^

"Note to readers: Recording is just one of my fun-filled activities. I really don't have all the pro gadgets and was just trying to be resourceful using my mobile as my sound recorder. The output is really not that refine. But I'm still happy I was able to capture my singing. So, here it is. Just click the play button if you still want to hear it ^_^"







"MINSAN PA" (ONCE AGAIN)
Filipino
Minsan pa Kay tagal ko nang pangarap
At laging nang dasal
Pag-ibig na sadyang wagas
Ngunit waring kay ilap ng palad kong ito
At akoy patuloy na bigo.

O pusong kay sakit...ala-alang kay pait
At kung muling balikan ang lahat ng nagdaan
Tila walang pang minahal at walang natagpuan
Nais ko sanang mag-isa’t huwag nang umibig pa

Kung yan man ay tototo at manatili sa mundo
Na walang buhay, walang kulay, walang nagmamahal
Ngunit kong akoy mahihintay umasa pa’t
Umibig pang muli...minsan pa....

Minsan pa akong nangarap
At sanay maganap Sa iyo’y ibibigay lahat
Narito ngayo’t kailanman ‘ikaw ang langit ko
Tanging ningning ng buhay ko

Halina sa piling ko
Alisin ang takot ko
At sa muli’y malasap ang pag-ibig na ganap
At ang pangarap na mundo ay matupad sa piling mo
Ayaw ko na muling mabuhay pang nag-iisa.

Ikaw ang simulat wakas, ang ngayon at ang bukas
Ikaw ang pag-asa habang buhay..mahal pa rin kita
At sadyang wagas, pag-ibig ko’y
Ngayon at kailanman...minsan pa


English
Once Again I have long dreamed
And have always prayed
For a love that is everlasting
But it seems to have eluded me
And I am frustrated still

O heart so pained...
Memories so bitter
And if I would remember all that has happened
It would seem that I have never loved anyone nor found anyone
I wish to be alone and never to love anymore

If that were true and I would remain in this world
Without life, without color, without someone loving me
But if I wait, and hope, and
Love again... Once again...

I have dreamed yet once again
And hope it would come true
I would give all to you
Here, now, and forever, you are my heaven
The only brightness in my life

Come, be with me
Dispel my fears And once again taste the love that is complete
And the world that I have dreamed of, would come true with you
I would not want to live alone again

You are the beginning and the end, the present and the future
You are my hope, for as long as I live... I love you still
And truly eternal is my love
Now and forever... Once again

Channeling My Thoughts

Lately, I couldn't stop myself flipping the pages of the book I'm reading now as I eagerly wanted to know what would happen at the end of the story. The excitement made me feel very occupied that it's like I'm actually inside that fantasy world created by the author. I like it this way. I am liking this feeling when I'm so focus letting some pictures sink in my mind, the characters, the whole story itself. Because in a way I'm just doing my own thing and doesn’t minding anymore the people around me. Worrying whether I have offended a person or not and just hurting myself in the process. I don't like that. I don’t want to feel weak. Being depress is the first thing, I'm wary about and so I always find ways to escape from it. I'll jump from one place to another if I have to. But surprisingly, somehow I retrieve my old ways of how to channel things. I feel now a bit relieved because I nearly forgotten one of my passion which is reading nice novels and gladly was able to ignite again that momentum inside of me. I was just preoccupied with my curiosity to explore things and to know people. I feel the excitement recalling my gestures like when I'm hurrying home because I couldn't hardly wait curling to my bed and start flipping the page of the book again.

Well luckily, my thoughts now are very occupied and feel like no more room to entertain negative vibes, disappointments and fears. Such keen understanding flows in me again and I simply rekindled my reasoning of why I am here, working in this foreign land away from my love ones. I am simply seeing what I should do now. Just enjoy while things still there and the next day another challenges for me. Time flies so will just have to make the most of it. A blissful afternoon everyone.

Treasure the love

Woke up this morning having puffy and baggy eyes because of my non-stop crying over a movie that I watched last night hehehe. Very cheap tears!!! I was watching 2007 IF ONLY movie starred by Jennifer Love Hewitt and Paul Nicholls. It's a touching story as it talks about learning to appreciate the people in our lives and letting them know how important they are to our existence. It's about two lovers. They both deeply in love with each other but the guy is too much occupied with his career and neglected in so many ways the small happiness of the girl that he loves so much. One night, the girl was caught by an accident and actually died. The guy witnessed it all and was really devastated because he just realized how important that lady to him and everything now seems worthless and he feels as if his life has no meaning on it. While crying over with that tragic event, one day he wakes up and he was so shock to see that the girl is lying beside him in bed. He was so shocked and couldn't believe it because he did witnessed everything and the pain in his heart is so real up to that moment. Every next moves of the girl he knew already as if like a "Dejavu", happened in the past and is like happening again. Every small happenings before the accident is happening again and just in a different version of its occurance. Of course, my tears are already flooding inside my room at this point hehehe. How I wish I bought popcorn that night. Anyways going back, as the guy realizes that things are happening again as exactly as it was, he is bound to make the one last day with the girl a memorable one. He tried hard to escape what is bound to happen, but nothing can change what is destined and he realizes that. He finally told the girl that she taught him to love and to trust. That she loves her so much. At exactly 11:00pm, they were caught by an accident but this time, it was the guy who died. Huhuhuhu, very sad story and it really caused my big eyebags this morning.

Anyways, the bottom line here is to always give time to our love ones. It made me feel a bit guilty considering that I'm far from the people I treasure the most. No money can compensate with genuine touch, the talks and hugs. We should give importance to the one we love because we really don't know when they will be taken from us. Never be afraid so say I love you or I miss you or I care for you. There's nothing compare of showing how much we care by simply telling what is there in our hearts. Savor the love and care your love ones because at the end of the day, they are our treasures in life...

Weekend Delight

It's finally Friday, end of the week. This weekend will be break time from work and stress. I feel weak today yaiks.. can be a sign of Aging? *Blush* I am supposed to meet a friend tonight but texted her that I'm not feeling so well and would just like to go home early. So Ok, that itinerary is cancelled. So I feel fine with it now with the idea that I can do many things later relaxing at the flat like movies, surfing the net and look for mp3's. But after awhile, another friend texted and called me asking my help to meet our ex-colleague who's here in Singapore for a training but will return to Brunei tomorrow. A pile of hollow blocks in my arms now hehehe. I can't say no because first, that person is the best friend of someone dear to me. Second, I seldom get the chance seing this person because he's working in Brunei for quite sometime now. So the verdict, carry the hollow blocks but stand still fresh and feeling pretty. hehehe. Anyway it is Friday, so just have fun with it. Tomorrow will be a "phewww" day for me. So many things to attend but feeling excited with my workout session.


Happy Weekend!!! Cheers!

My reason

I'm missing more my hometown lately especially my love ones. Sometimes we do make some sacrifices for the sake of the people we care so much. There are so many "If Only's " in my mind like "If only I'm born with ..." or "If only we have..." perhaps there's no need to go faraway and be separated from your love ones just to receive extra amount to fulfill the needs of the people you care the most. But despite of that I have no regrets in my heart because the journey of working abroad gives me different experiences, different challenges. I meet new people and witness’s different ways and cultures. Some are nice, some are very friendly and some already put marks to my heart which I will treasure always. There are so many things that I learn here. Living alone taught me to be more independent and strong. Likewise my time management is also improving like I always do even I was still there working in my hometown. I set schedules which I diligently follow. On weekends, I really don't want to miss my exercise routine at the gym to boost my immune system. And on Sundays, it’s my time to visit the house of GOD to give thanks for all the blessings and to pray for good health and safety.

I miss doing some things which I like. Cooking for instance and invite guest to come over. I miss gardening too. I'll be returning to my hometown very soon and we will do a late birthday celebration for me. Definitely I'll be the one to prepare the foods and will invite friends and relatives to come over. And also, I miss taking good care of my son whom I dearly love. Being a mom is really an ultimate reward for me. It made me complete. It made me feel beautiful always. It's like my source of strength. I am so blessed to have him and I am very proud of him. Wish I can hug him now.

Anyways, It's getting late but still awake because I'm waiting for the American Idol show at channel 5 here in Singapore. One of the finalists there is a Filipina (Thia Megia). I have so much interest with music. I and my family are musically inclined. I was so surprised in fact amazed recently on what I have discovered. My son has a good voice too and he loves singing. At his young age, he can now do timings and reach high notes. I will have his talent develop more by having him enrolled to a music class as well as playing instruments. It just feels so great to have reasons for all the sacrifices and effort I am giving now.

Budgeting Time

Month of March is ending and a few days more, I will be receiving my salary. Hence, it's time to do budgeting again for the month of April expenses plus savings. Once, I have attended a seminar about how to save. They said the ultimate technique to handle your expenses as well as savings is to always follow this formula:


EXPENSES = INCOME - SAVINGS.


and not the other way around SAVINGS = INCOME - EXPENSES. The formula Expenses = Income - Savings definitely sounds reasonable enough considering that you are setting your priority first on savings before attending to your expenses which includes “the needs and the wants”. I am really forcing myself to always follow this formula so I can accomplish all the plans/projects that I have in mind. As what I have noticed, sometimes EXPENSES can be extended to miscellaneous things. Like if we only went window shopping and just so happened we see some boutiques or stores on clearance sale, definitely the temptation to avail it is so strong even if it is beyond our budget scale already and the last thing in mind is use credit cards. I’m guilty about this too because sometimes I’m also like that. I'm just so glad that lately I can now control myself on this and not really go into impulsive buying.


So going back to my chart, I see to it that I will save first for my ongoing project and will just allocate what is left or shall I say I need to make the most of it by hook or by crook hehehe. This way I can be sure that I can really save. Before, I usually do manual budgeting every month. Meaning I just write it in a small notebook and keep it somewhere. But just today, my colleague shares to me how he does his budgeting via iPhone. There is one iPhone application that we can download for free. It's called iXpenselt Lite. I like it so much because you can actually put the type categories of your expenses as well as the source of income side. It has the feature to let you see your cash flow as well as the income statement stating there your net balance after plotting all your expenses for the month. Woaah... it's like I'm advertising already this iPhone software hehehe. But really, this one is cool and you can even export your budget flow via email and can be open as excel file. Nowadays it is really so convenient with almost everything. But of course those are for materials things only. There’s still nothing compare to genuine touch, hugs and love. Anyways, right now no need for me to bring my notebook whenever I send money to my love ones. The iPhone can do this things now plus this iXpenselt Lite is guarded with password. So even if u lost your phone, no worries about it. Your money secrets are still protected.

So Happy Saving. Cheers!!

My blog's new face

Just today I feel the urge to change the theme of my site and put some changes on it so I grab this chance while I still have the momentum. I also changed the music; playing this time some selected love songs that I like. ^_^

Some of my favorite love songs:
01. Someone's Always Saying Goodbye By:Allona>
02. Why do we always hurt the one we love By:Dan Hill
03. Someone That I Used To Love By:Natalie Cole
04. Straight From The Heart By:Bryan Adams
05. Love Will Lead You Back By:Taylor Dayne
06. Never Been To Me By:Charlene

The essence of life..

It's been awhile since my last blogging I think and I usually ended up to writing whenever I feel saturated already with mixed emotions. It's like my other sanctuary where I can release sad thoughts, happy memories and concerns that I may have right now because after awhile as I look back to what I have written, I can proudly say to myself, "wow I have gone through that? But gladly I made it through". It feels great that GOD blessed me with another year. I just celebrated my 32nd birthday last sunday. Well I’m kind of a bit old now but just a little, I mean not so yet (blush blush ^_^). When I look back at the past till the present now, I can say that I have achieved much already and if GOD will grant me more achievements in life, I will gladly embrace it with all my strength and courage. I can say that I have been through rough times with tears and struggles but that is life. Every decision made has indeed consequences but if it is for the better, I will gladly face it. It's hard being alone away from people you love but I'm facing everything with courage and faith so I can provide and I can make someone's dream come true.


My birthday eve wasn't that great though because I was crying over something I didn’t expected to come. Tears seemed bursting inside after an sms from someone dear to me shared some concerns. It's like I'm caught between to commit or not to commit. To say No which will surely make this person down because deep in my heart I know he has no one to turn but me or to say Yes which will turn things into jeopardy. For their sake, I am willing to give my all while I still can and while my health still can handle it. It brought me to some realization that really made me cry in front of my housemate while having coffee late that night. I just couldn’t hold back the tears anymore. I feel sad with the thought that many thinks that I'm so strong and can just handle everything without no doubt where in fact I too can be very vulnerable at times and what they see is just a shield telling the world "Hey I'm Ok!" but the truth is I'm already crying inside enduring some pains and disappointments. But what else can I do but to love myself more and to take good care of those people who truly loves me with no conditions, no buts and no ifs because at the end of the day, when others starting to find you worthless and not as good anymore as you used to nor pretty anymore like you used to, these true people will still be there to guide you, to be your eyes and ears and to comfort you in times of sorrows.

I guess life is just like that. Like Forrest Gumps famous quote that says "Life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you gonna get." So what’s the best way to handle it? Do your hair spa, pamper yourself with a massage, threat yourself to a movie and try some good restaurant nearby. In other words, love yourself more and to stay always strong and more faith. And I'm sure things will get better at the end. So what's next for me? Just continue to hang on, have the courage, face new challenge, and love the love that comes along the way. Trust, share and get hurt over and over again and after that stand up and face the world with courage and pride. Because that is the essence of life and we need to go through hardship for us to be strong and to test our faith. It will give balance to oneself. As they say, “laugh and the world will laugh with you. Weep and you weep alone”. So just be positive always and it will be sunshine again after the rain.

Till my next blog.
