Despite being stubbornly Chy, she is such a wonder girl.

She told me consistently that she wanted to become a ballerina dancer when she grows up.

She is not into ballet now but she really is into dancing. She is my provocative, funny little Chy.

Ang kulit mo!

Am totally surprised of your developments. As Charlene would say , she is btw a 16-year old based in Aussie. ” She is too loud for a 5-year old ”

A sweet friendship refreshes the soul.” Proverbs 27:9 (MSG)

Aidah posted on her FB profile that she looks forward to have breakfast with me today to listen to my stories of Sydney. I thanked her for the favor. Seemed to me that “listening” is the hardest you can get from people nowadays.

It reminded me of some convo that I excitedly share and I was shoved away —which leads me to a very bad impression of which I am trying to get over with. I can always give people the benefit of the doubt and will have to be satisfied that Life is full of sweet surprises like what I got from Aidah this morning.

Btw—–this sort of a warning to us. We normally dry up our pants outside our flat and yesterday, it was stolen. Goodbye Dada’s Levi’s.

Got this message this morning;
Team- I hope that the last month of the year has been good to you so far! Hopefully we can all start to wind it down pretty soon for the holidays.

Kung ano man eto- Salamat. Windang na talaga beauty ko . Sabi ni Ada- may Ipod din daw na dadating for me from the APJ boss. This package is from the US boss. Lubos na biyaya…Ayaw kong mag expect, pero ini- expect kong makarating ito before I could go for vacation next week.

This Christmas, wala ako iba wish kundi to be healthy- lately, I haven’t been very healthy, i easily get tired and i feel like the world is spinning all around me or it feels like there is earthquake everyday. I went to the clinic today and was advised to undergo general health check. Yeah, I agree, I needed it. Meantime, they give me tablets to get rid of dizziness. Hope this helps.

I sort of created it only in my mind though. Imagining the worst.

Hehe, so am not busted of my credit card spending. Firstly because, he doesn’t really question my spending- so it is all in the mind. Secondly, he luvvvs the iTouch so, he didn’t have time to care. Nyahahahha.

Just so I have documented it correctly and for me to remind myself- no shopping anymore for the next xxx months ( swear) sabi ni Dada, am gonna break it anyway. But no, am serious. I believe I can do it.

Overall damage = seventeen hundred USD

Seriously.
I did not intend to excel, this was actually a bonus for me. A total miracle. When I decided not to get preggy this year- I told myself that I will focus my energy to my family and my job.

I have complained so many times, been active in the job market, did some interviews, etc. I thought I will be gone from HP before last year-end, I guess I wasn’t destined to be out from here- not yet. Let me wait for the right time.

Hehehhe..i feel like am in Grade 1- finished First Honors and too excited of my parent’s gifts to me..

It feels like Christmas at fast forward mode.
Gift#1 Chy got a bag of coloring pencils all sizes from my HK lady boss. She excitedly opened the box and played with the pens! It’s from Disneyland! My sick girl lights up like sunshine.

Gift#2 CD of worship songs

Gift#3 Laughters w/ Chy

Our christmas tree from a different perspective- and I accidentally moved it while at Night Mode.

Alright. I was very busy to care yesterday. I saw the note personally written by my boss in the US- it is very seldom that I receive such notes now a days. And am pleased. The parcel was sent over from US to SG via FEDEX to appreciate my efforts. Am so touched. Oh Yeah…It was a gift from Tiffany & Co. I was exaggerated to expect a jewelry and the least of what I expected- a fountain pen! As if am into calligraphy and I’d be too excited to use it. And so , I put it aside- run to my whole day meeting and totally forget about it till last night w/ Chuck.

Little did I know, that such pen is pricey! And we can’t figure out how to insert the ink on it- so until now- as of this writing- I haven’t used it yet. Hehhehehe…Whatta dummy! But yeah…am too excited to tell you how much the genuince 925 sterling silver pen is……………I can’t believe- such pens exist! Hahhahaha…Este- they don’t call it pen, it is categorized as writing instrument. Hehhehe..

Tada…it is worth USD325! Gosh…..pwede ra unta pod to ug Cash ila gihatag nako…Nyahahhaha…LV bag na unta ni ba….Hahahhahhahah….( Pls…understand me.) I got the image from the Tiffany and Co site- I will post the actual item when I have the chance to grab my cam.

This totally a SURPRISE….and I thank you!

The first email i wrote this morning.

ning abot na jud. nothing audacious- simply the refund from Cebu Pacific came after 10 months of waiting, am 9k richer which in fact sort of patches up with Joan’ s fare in coming to Singapore. Well, it saves a lot sweat you know. Credit card bills! I am making myself promise not to go beyond SGD150 on my monthly charges of DBS CC. And for the last 2 months, I fail, but after my promise 1, here’s my promise 2: I will pay all the charges monthly and no way to finance charges. I have been consistently successful.

naa pa pod mi gipaabot, amo nalang i abot sa limot para if moabot, pleasant surprise.
we keep on celebrating while we are waiting. We consumed one bottle of red wine pinaabot and so we bought a new bottle of chardonnay to fill the gap. we keep on waiting.

Meantime, cheers to unexpected joys!

For the first time since I assumed this post in August, this week, so far was the buzziest and craziest. I don’t want more of this, kaka STRESS! and don’t want to talk about it.
Actually, am filled with excitement….

- Chy will start school on Monday ( whole day childcare from 7am to 730pm)
- Anniv sa Dec 21
- Christmas na! Christmas geps are all packed and friends are coming
- Food ( hmm..my christmas recipe not ready yet but Chuck will help me on that)
- Chy is starting to get a feel of Christ’s bday ( in her prayer the other night, she talked to Jesus saying this, ” Jesus, lapit na bday mo!”) haaay..heart melting.
- I don’t have to go to work from Dec 22- Jan 4. HP shutdown!
- I am losing few pounds, NO thanks to Fenphedra- don’t need you.
- And this one caught me by surprise!!!! I am included in the variable pay bonus ( which I wasn’t expecting) and here’s what my boss has to say about me:

Review Rating - Strong performance; performance met and often exceeded objectives, and consistently reflected strong performance behavior.

Thank you God!!!! This indeed is a very pleasant surprise and your fabulous gift to me on your day. I am humbled and I know now what you are trying to say to me. And would like to share it to you my dear readers;

” Jesus Feeds the Five Thousand”
Matthew 14:20-21
They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children.
