The neighbors are having some major repairs being done in their house. I am not sure what the repairs are but I heard that the only girl, a 16-year-old teen, is assigned with the abrasives. It’s her task and she has to help out before she can officially begin her summer vacation.
I remember helping out with repairs and renovations in the past. It isn’t easy but it was a lot of fun when you look back at it. I had fun memories of being taught how to hammer and some other carpentry stuff. I didn’t like it then but it comes in handy now I am grown up.
It’s really funny how a group of people would think we’d get affected by a get-together where we’re not invited. Like it’s a loss to us! Hello!!!
They presented it in a way like they planned it behind our backs. Then they talked about it in riddles. I actually wouldn’t mind had they planned their get-together in front of me. If they invited me, I would not go simply because they are not my friends. I don’t know them and I’m not interested in getting to know them. They can do whatever they want because I don’t care! I just hate the idea that they think it will affect us. And I am also thinking of one person who would feel insulted if he knew…
Mga wala lang talagang magawa sa buhay!
Jenna is drifting. She doesn’t know what she wants in life and her parents are getting frustrated from her incessant trips to nowhere. They gave her an ultimatum: decide which direction she wants to go to once and for all. They won’t finance her crash courses anymore. She will have to decide on one course and that’s it!
With a boost in the right direction from her well-meaning friends, Jenna finally decided to go to cosmetology school. She loves hairstyling and make-up so that’s what she wants to do with her life. Offering that kind of service to wedding and other special events.

He was at the wrong place at the wrong time. That’s what Jared would like to think on what truly happened to him. He met an accident. Good thing the truck driver didn’t run away from his responsibility and actually helped him with all the medical bills and the recuperation after.
Not all victims of accidents are as lucky as Jared. One victim I read about even needed an Austin truck accident lawyer to help him with getting compensation for what happened to him. If you are a victim and the culprit to the accident actually wants to run away from what happened, get a lawyer and file a case right away!

I am done with 2011. I felt so unlucky this year to tell you the truth. There were just so many negative stuff that went around in my life that I felt this year was truly tough on me.
Work became scarce. Yes, there were really good ones that came but more of the good went out. What was once the source of my overflowing funds became close to none. I was panicking every other week! I was in constant worried state it wasn’t funny at all. As a result, my income went spiraling downwards. Imagine 70% of it being cut from my monthly cash flow. Tough!
And then there’s the ups and downs in the family. The disagreements, the troubles my brother were embroiled in, my dad’s stubbornness…
I am really ready to welcome 2012 and the luck, the positive vibes, and the overflow of blessings it will bring!
Happy New Year everyone!
Here’s hoping each one of us will be blessed this coming 2012.
We just heard the other day that one of my mom’s relatives is now high up the company ladder in a well-known pharmaceutical company. We didn’t know we had a relative like that! She once started out holding one of the Pharmacist Jobs in the company and worked her way up. What an impressive work history she has with the company! The reason why we now know her is because she is inviting all of us, yes, including us who didn’t know her, to attend a party she will be throwing by the last week of January 2012. It will be a thanksgiving for the the 30 years she had with the same company that gave her so much in life.
Of course, out of curiosity, we will attend.
I hope I don’t come across as selfish when I say that I intend to prioritize myself this coming 2012 and the years to come. I have been pushing myself down my list of priorities ever since I turned 18 and I think it’s time I start giving myself more.
I feel guilty when I think of this but a part of me is really coming forward nowadays telling me to give myself a break from taking care of everyone around me because they are now all grown up and have jobs of their own. It’s time I think of myself a bit more because I work so hard and have been depriving myself of so many things the past several years. It’s time I fully taste the fruits of my hard work!
It’s NOT being selfish. I’d like to think it’s more of a self-preservation and self-respect.
I will think of myself as a piggy bank in 2012. I will find more coins to fill me. I want to overflow with it! Coins and bills. I want to get that ten million bucks that I am wishing for!
Working almost 24/7 is not an easy thing to do. Being online almost all the time trying to find an additional source of income is no joke. So if there’s a motivation to do so, I grab it and make sure to hold on to it. This time around the motivation is being a piggy bank. Thinking of a piggy bank full of coins and bills and overflowing with it, ready to burst!
In short, I need more money in 2012!
I was asked: what is life insurance? I answered that it is plan B. Whatever you have planned in place should you meet your sudden demise, that’s plan A. If it didn’t work out, then life insurance/plan B will hold.
I am reminded of a mother’s sacrifice for her child. She got life insurance plans in place as early as possible and when she died, her child benefited from it. She didn’t become a burden to her only son because she had both plan A and B in place and both worked out like she planned it to be.
Is your plan B already in place?
I do believe the creative in my cousin Abby is making her want to have those gemstone beads at beadaholique.com that she learned from a friend who is equally creative as her. They both checked it online, of course, and are now on the race to get it first.
My cousin Abby is the creative person in the family. You can find her in her workroom at home doing crafts, bead jewelries, sketching and sewing. She’s an all-around creative person. Her bedroom is full of beads everywhere! But you won’t find it messy because she really has an eye for creating beauty.
I am working hard for my family. I want to give them whatever they want. A comfortable life with a sprinkle of luxuries here and there. That is the very reason why I am working like this and I worry every other minute. I don’t know if they are aware of this but I know that when they look back they will remember all those times I gave them what they wanted to the best that I could.
There are days when I feel like I should also be thinking of myself. If not for them I wouldn’t have to work this hard. If not for them I would have been happy with whatever I earn and not have to think of going back to the corporate world and stressing myself out again. I wouldn’t have to think of going to a foreign country to work without tax cuts so I could give them more and save some for the old folk.
I hardly ever think of myself anymore. I always worry for them. I worry for everyone around me but for ME!
Kaya feeling ko naman deserve ko na magsaya paminsan-minsan. Ang tanda ko na! More than half of my life I gave to my family na. I am not complaining pero like today sobra lang nakakasama ng loob. Kung alam lang nila na kaya ako naghahanap pa ng pwedeng ibaon para may mabili akong mga regalo sa kanila. Tapos iisipan pa ako ng kung anu-ano! Nakakainis!
I couldn’t help but cry over it. Hinahanapan pa ako eh alam naman nilang lahat dito sa bahay at sa kanila napupunta! Whatever I spend on myself I earned it and the money’s mine not theirs! Badtrip!
Next year talaga start na ako isipin sarili ko. Ako naman. Mamamatay na ako malapit na tapos ganito pa. Pati nga iiwan ko iniisip ko na para sa kanila tapos ganito pa. Nung isang araw nga iniisip ko na wag sumama para na lang wala ng isipin pa. Pero naisip ko minsan ko lang gawin ‘to. I deserve this! Might as well go. Bahala na si Batman!
Life!
Once you start to dislike someone everything that person does will annoy you.
I noticed this. When I started voicing out how much I dislike someone, every little thing I see or read or hear about that person becomes a trigger for my annoyance to take over me. You can dislike someone silently. I think when the time comes you start telling someone else about it, that’s the time you start noticing all the annoying things about the person.
Case in point, this guy I know. In the past I noticed how he sounded high and mighty whenever he would talk to everyone except his wife. But I didn’t say anything about it to anyone because I just know that’s his personality. Lately, though, he’s becoming unbearable when being spoken to. He would always reply to messages like he’s a boss talking to his staff. Always like that!
I pointed it out to someone close to me and from then on, every little thing about the guy annoys me.
I ought to use the HIDE button!
When it comes to his passion for guitars, RJ is really well known among his circle. He has almost every known brand of guitar there is! Currently he has his eye on getting a brand new Fender Jazzmaster specifically the Fender Custom Shop Limited Edition La Cabronita “Boracha” Reverse Jazzmaster Electric Guitar. It is a bit pricey so RJ is still saving up for it. But he will get that one to add to his collection.
RJ is not only good at finding quality made guitars. He is also a great guitar player! He plays the guitar like it was taught to him in the womb of his mother. He is that good! He is actually being hired to play at special events but he can’t accept all invitations as he is also busy with his job.
Maria is not only working a nine to five job but is also managing a business of her own. She is working double time because her son will start pre-school next year. She wants to be able to get him into a reputable school and she knows that will need money.
She is busy these past few days setting up ach payment for her business. She just set up a web site where her customers can order online. But she has to make sure that her business can accept not only cash payment but other type of payments as well.
She is breaking her back working all for the love of her son. I think almost all mothers will do this for their children.
I should give myself a pat in the back for the restraint I am showing. I am not saying anything disparaging. I am not ranting about it. I am not saying anything negative although I couldn’t stop my mind from thinking it the first time I saw it. But unlike before, I am no longer quick to react over it.
I have managed to unlock a restraint I thought I never had!
Yay for me!
I keep harping about the fact that I am having financial difficulties again. I kept ranting to my sisters about how hard it is to earn an income now unlike the hundredfold blessings that kept pouring in a few years ago. I keep praying for a big blessing to come but then I had an epiphany two nights ago…
I realized what I need is a lifestyle overhaul!
There will be lesser trips to the mall for me, that’s for sure. No more book buying binges. I often indulge myself with at least a book or two when I go to the mall or to National Bookstore. No more unnecessary purchases. And I will try to budget my money the best way I know how.
It will not be easy due to the fact that I am a creature of habit. I am also a mall rat so I get drawn to the mall all the time. I am used to going to the mall at least once a week, can you imagine that? But now there will be no more of that for me. I will try my best and see where it goes.
I hope I will be able to save a lot of money from this lifestyle overhaul I have decided on.
Quite literally actually. My sister is busy as a bee right now. She just came from a trip to Singapore for a training and now she is busy checking trade show booths for the upcoming trade launch their company will be participating in. She is the go-to person in their department and my sister is not one to complain even if she is already swamped with work. She thrives on it!
I used to be like that. I work 14-hour shifts, 5 days a week. I didn’t complain because I was happy and I felt important. But the ‘abuse’ caught with me and after two years of doing that to myself, sometimes going to work on weekends and working for 12 hours, my body just stopped. I got sick and I had to resign from work or the doctor said I would keel over and die anytime.
I told my sister to at least get some rest from time to time and do not be like me who worked nonstop. She listened and she actually came from a 3-day vacation with her friends.
You know this is the very reason why I don’t like and avoid at all costs being indebted to someone. I normally forget dates and all that and I hate that the person I am indebted to thinks that I did it deliberately when in fact I truly forget about it!
This is another reason why I am growing more and more hesitant about going. Hay. Ayoko talaga ng may utang kahit maliit pa na halaga! It’s a lot of hassle and it causes so much stress because it is always at the back of your mind that you still have an amount you have to settle.
I really wish I didn’t say YES in the first place. I should have said MAYBE and then backed out when I realized how costly the trip will be for me.
Whenever I hear of someone sick with cancer, my heart is bleeding and crying out. I know how it is to have a love one suffering from it. I’ve seen my brother suffer from leukemia and it’s only six months but it would take another lifetime before it is taken away from my mind.
I am especially sorry for those who got cancer from the medicine they are taking. Can you believe that?! What’s supposed to cure you has given you cancer! Actos is one medicine meant for diabetes that they say gives bladder cancer to those who take it. Call an actos cancer attorney right away if you suspect your bladder cancer is from Actos.
I am hoping everyone is safe and of a healthy mind and body wherever you are.
There are times when I want to cry but couldn’t because I don’t want them to know. All I could do is cry inside and just shoulder the burden of it all.
I’ve been breadwinner of the family since I graduated from college. I sent my siblings to college and still do with the youngest. I had an agreement with my sister who’s next to me that as soon as she gets a good salary, more than average, then she would shoulder the tuition fee of the sibling next to her. But that didn’t happen. I ended up shouldering all of it!
To be honest I am not really complaining. I am proud of the fact that I financed my siblings’ college education. But there are days when I feel that my sacrifice is not appreciated as much as I would want to. There are days when I feel like I should ‘graduate’ from being the breadwinner but since I am not complaining, I am still financing most of the expenses at home. I just feel that I should somehow get a rest from all the spending, right?
Hay…
I keep wondering what’s the point of all of it. I mean what’s it for? Do you actually get satisfaction out of doing it? Do you like the fact that others are marveling at your work? Or are you just a person who constantly needs reassurance about how good you are? Are you just after the attention?
I just don’t get it!
Parts of products are getting smaller and smaller, don’t you think? And with the change in size comes laser technology which can help in building the small parts. The SN100C is one tool used in laser technology by Fine Line Stencil. I don’t think normal technology can handle such tiny parts.
I watch this show where how things are made is being shown. I love that show! It is where I’ve seen laser technology being used on small parts so I can understand how Fine Line Stencil works. They are a leader in laser technology and is keeping themselves on top of the game so as to deliver more high quality products.
We are in a situation right now that we need to just forgive one another over something that we still don’t agree on but would rather settle. For Tito. Because if not, I can already see the animosity that the issue will bring. There is already an issue but we can still resolve it. We can still put it at the back of our minds and just let it go and forgive one another over the outbursts that took place.
I just wish we really can and move on.
Jansen has one rule he follows nowadays… make his wife happy! She supports him every step of the way in achieving his dreams. She sacrificed a lot for him and it’s a little thing keeping her happy. His wife is not a demanding woman and she is happy with the little things. That is why Jansen loves her more!
He is now listing down birthday gift for wife ideas and checking each one out. He wants to find the best gift that he can give her and make her really happy on her birthday.
He knows that his wife will love whatever he gives her. He just wants it to be extra special more than the past gifts he gave her.
Paul is married with two kids. He used to have a business of his own but with the state of the economy, he figured he might as well leave the business to his wife for now and look for work elsewhere. His two kids will be starting school next year so he needs to save enough for them.
His cousin works in a 5-star hotel and he wants to be able to get one of the open Baggage Porter Jobs. It’s a big “fall” from his previous ‘occupation’ of being a businessman but it is a step towards his ultimate goal of opening his own mini hotel in the province or a resort in the future.
And he is doing it for the love of his kids.
