MY BFs

"A person may have many friends, but there will usually be one who is preferred among the rest, either male or female. This may be a friend you have talked with more, who knows more about you, and whom you know more about. A best friend is one you feel you can rely on to help you more than others, and one whom you would be more likely to help, in times of need." - wikianswers.com indeed it's true, all of us have bestfriends and i'm glad to have not just one but three super bestfriends... cheng, thet, tey. cheng is my bestfriend since highschool, a sister by heart, someone whom i can show my true me, i can tell her everything and show her even my darkest side, hehe, yet she still loves me and never judged me. she's the one i run to whenever i have a problem especially financial, hehe. she would always lend a helping hand without any questions, without any doubts. we seldom see and text each other now but the tie that bonds us is still very strong, unbreakable.. not to mention she's married to my cousin, so legally we're cousin now =). i met thet during my job offer in my first job, she looks suplada at first but then she was the one who opened our conversation, and that was the start of our being the best buddies. we stayed in the same boarding house for about two months and it really deepened our frienship. we are so totally different in fact, but those differences made us more the best of friends. she was the one who thought me how to put on make up, i met FHM and COSMO thru her (hehehe), i learned what safe sex is coz she's so opened about those kind of topics and i really appreciate it. we had plenty of weird experiences, some of which are still kept secret till now, hehehe (it's just between the two of us). tey was one of my co-manager, it never really occurred to me that we'll be the best of friends but certain circumstances came in our way which led us to be more bonded. respect and sincerity, that's what we had that made our frienship one of a kind., i learned a lot from he especially about life, i admire her on how she manages hers...God-centered. i can say that we've been through a lot specially in our past job but those trials made us stronger and more attached to each other, we drew strength from one another. we promised to to hold on to our friendship til we grow old and we'll passed it on to our daughters who are just the same age, yes they are of the same age coz by the strike of fate we both got pregnant (unplanned) on the same year, i'm just 2 months ahead of her. and though we're not on the same work now we still have plans of working together soon.

rollercoaster

these past few days was truly a roller coaster ride for me. at kung hindi pa matatag ang kapit ng utak ko malamang nasa mental na ako. there were just some situations na hindi mo aakalaing mangyayari...... ng bigla bigla na lamang. 1 liter of tears or more, sobra sobrang nalinis naman ang mata ko, and the hardest part of it is the emotional pain it is causing me, ang sakit talaga.  but the good side of all this pains and aches is that i become emotionally stronger., kailangan kasi not only for myself but most especially for my daughter. thanks also to my husband who was beside me through all these painstaking moments, the more our relationship gets stronger and thanks to GOD for always helping me gone through these trials. He has his own ways of teaching us and helping us become more mature persons. maybe it's a blessing in disguise na rin that this happened..,coz it's really time to move on and go to the next level of our life. i'm not yet that prepared but if not now kailan pa nga ba! i know we'll make through it. God is with us!

missed

i missed them... yes i terribly missed my team... them who have been part and will always be a part of my life; them who had been so supportive of me and had always treat me and everyone in the team as a real family, them who had shown their love and concern not only for their work but for everyone, treating each other as kapuso and kapamilya; even in those trying times had never they give up, it only strengthened our ties and our will to survive. but God has different plans for us and i know it will be for the better.  those bonding moments will never be forgotten. and as what we always say tayo pa rin ang magkikita sa finals! and i', still waiting for that time na magkakasama sama uli tayo....sooner. miss you guys!   

confused....

and now again i'm on the verge of confusion.... fighting this feeling between being a mom and being a child. cannot weigh things over but i know that God will guide me in whatever decision i will make, coz i know for sure that HE knows what's inside my heart. it may be too early to tell but just thinking about me makes me so sad and happy at the same time, really confusing isn't? i'll just cross my fingers and pray so hard.

sale

one of my dreams is to have a boutique/shop of my own. i am a desperate fashionista and i love clothes. but i know that it would still take a very long time to get into that kind of business. however, i really love selling (aside from shopping), i thought of having my dream come true... in an instant. but instead of selling new ones i'm selling my not so used clothes.... yes i'm having my garage sale! i'm quite excited bout it, i don't know but i really have this passion for selling clothes, (well maybe because i also love buying them). the idea sprouted when i bumped into ebay, where i do my shopping now and ofcourse sell some stuff also online. i digged in to those clothes which were just stucked in the closet for a long time now (since after my pregnancy) and found a lot of them. why not make money out of it and besides there's no more space for the new ones. well i hope they'll all sell, hehehe. goodluck to my GARAGE SALE!!!!

my late christmas party post

i know it's super late na to post this but i just wanna share some pix during our store's christmas party. the story behind our theme is that we, the girls, were tasked to take charge of the christmas party. kami na daw bahala sa lahat. we first thought of having a ball-like party, ung tipong mga kings and queens kaming lahat, but then we realized na mejo magastos ang costume and parang di kami makaka move ng maayos pag ganun. so we thought of having a costume party instead. the rule is you have to dress like some one else, tipong B HU U WANT 2 B. we thought na ma eexcite ang lahat sa idea namin but vice versa ang nangyari. marami ang nagcomplain kasi mahirap daw yun, magastos at kung anu ano pang kadahilanan. we almost decided to cancel it but then sino ba ang masusunod eh kami nga ang commitee, hmp! days before the party we heard na marami ang di mag aatend, or kung pupunta man e di rin naka costume. kakainis talaga. we expected the worst, na konti lang talaga ang magpaparticipate, til the day of the party.... much to our surprise........

jang geum and sakuragi

zorro and pirate

cupid, predatora and sexbomb, professor X & mama santa

danaya & zorro, muchas grasas, mama santa & d sexy fairies w/ lil red riding hood and ariel

hmmmm, di sila prepared noh, and bandang huli kaming commitee ang na-lost sa costume, hehehe. twas really a fun party and even the club administrator (where we held the party) was really amazed on how creative the theme was and how cooperative the kids were. buti na lang everything we planned went well and even our group and store manager were so proud of us, job well done daw and super exceed pa sa expectation nila. whew!

happy christmas

been some time since i made a post due to my super hectic work schedule and super stressful work, hehehe. but i won't let this day pass by without greeting you all a very merry christmas!!!!!!

raigna's first trick or treat

it was all done in a rush, i mean raigna joining trick or treat at SM Pampanga. i was supposed to have a training at Pasig but too lazy to wake up so early so i called my friend (who also attends the training) and told her that i won't be able to attend.  my plan for the day is just to take a rest and probably watch some movies. At 9:30 am papa told me why not join raigna at the trick or treat at Sm, that would be a great fun for her but it would start at 10 am. Duh! 30 minutes to prepare? and what would raigna wear? and so the artistic side of me came out ( artistic? oh come on, hehehe). and so here's my li'l fairy

she wore that dress in her christening (she's just 3 months old then), and those white stockings, they're not meant to be that way, i mean with holes. but when i checked them i saw that big hole (the one near her knee), sayang naman if i'll buy her a new one just for this game, kaya i made more smaller holes na lang, parang design lang, hehehe. the headband is one of her (or my) collections, which she doesn't wear naman(ngayon lang). but a fairy wouldn't be complete without a wand and  fairy wings so i bought these at SM as soon as we arrived there, (and also the pumpkin.)

we arrived at SM at 11 am and unfortunately almost all stalls have no candies anymore. nakarami lang siya when we went to Photo DU Monde where papa works (bias, hehehe). kahit wala na candy we strolled around the mall, not to ask for candies but to take photos with other trickers

 it was fun filled day!
