If you were stranded on a deserted island what three things would you want to have with you? 1) toiletries 2) coke light (i don't drink water!) and 3) matches
Are you a spiritual person? i go to church. i read my bible. i sometimes attend bible studies. i pray and make sure i have a few minutes a day that i talk to God. if that makes me a spiritual person, then i am. =)
What is the weirdest thing that ever happened to you? Nothing weird so far.
What is your best quality? patient
What is your worst quality? being too nice

carey cabins
i had so much fun looking through photos of mommy doc and daddy doc during their last vacation to the US. they had the chance to stay at Pigeon Forge vacation rentals with friends. the carey cabins they stayed at were beautiful. they had the perfect mountain view and they were able to capture really great sunset photos. they had all the amenities they would need and want. and since the cabin had a fully equipped kitchen, they were able to prepare their own food as well. another vacation destination added on my list!

business cards
i spent 2 hours online just browsing through business cards, i never thought it would be that hard to choose one. the design of the business card has a lot to say about the business or company. as what most people would say, first impression last. choosing the perfect design, paper and print was really difficult. especially, for someone like me who is not artsy. it's such a blessing that i had a lot of choices online or else i could have spent a day choosing the perfect business card.

SYNOVATE
since i work for an australian based company, it has not been easy to find information about the australian market. it is a blessing to find a market research company online that has an office in sydney. synovate is a blessing for us since they do a lot of work for us. they save us time, allowed us to generate more income and has easily customized their research work for our companies needs. the output has been great and in the short span of time that we have worked with them, the bosses have noticed a great deal of difference already. they have been pleased with the response we have been getting and the new business opportunities has been endless.
PENSRUS
my favorite freebie of all time are marketing pens. i think pens are the most useful giveaway tool. it is a great marketing strategy that would bring in more customer's and would make your company known in the market. pens are more importantly budget friendly. PENSRUS is an online store that offer a wide array of marketing pens. the styles available are really nice and they offer quality writing utensils.

Grey's is Love
i love grey's anatomy because it hits you. hits you real hard. the show puts me on this whirlwind ride of thoughts and emotions. it gives us a picture of how to face and cope with both the pleasant and HARSH realities of life, love, and career.
here are some of my favorites from the show.
On Boundaries:
At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines... that are way too dangerous to cross.
On Pain:
Pain, you just have to ride it out, hope it goes away on its own, hope the wound that caused it heals. There are no solutions, no easy answers. You just breathe deep and wait for it to subside. Most of the time pain can be managed, but sometimes the pain gets you when you least expect it, hits way below the belt and doesn't let up. Pain you just have to fight through, because the truth is you can't outrun it, and life always makes more.
Maybe we like the pain. Maybe we're wired that way. Because without it, I don't know; maybe we just wouldn't feel real. What's that saying? Why do I keep hitting myself with a hammer? Because it feels so good when I stop.
On Losing Control:
No-one likes to lose control…. It's a sign of weakness, of not being up to the task. And still there are times when it just gets away from you. When the world stops spinning and you realize that nothing you do is gonna save you. No matter how hard you fight it, you fall. And it's scary as hell. Except there's an upside to free falling. It's the chance you give your friends to catch you.
On Guilt:
We are left with a choice. Either let the guilt throw you back into the behavior that got you into trouble in the first place, or learn from the guilt and do your best to move on.
On Denial:
Sometimes reality has a way of sneaking up and biting us in the ass. And when the dam bursts, all you can do is swim. The world of pretend is a cage, not a cocoon. We can only lie to ourselves for so long. We are tired, we are scared, denying it doesn't change the truth. Sooner or later we have to put aside our denial and face the world. Head on, guns blazing. De Nile. It's not just a river in Egypt, it's a freakin' ocean. So how do you keep from drowning in it?
On Growing Up:
I've heard that it's possible to grow up - I've just never met anyone who's actually done it. Without parents to defy, we break the rules we make for ourselves. We throw tantrums when things don't go our way, we whisper secrets with our best friends in the dark, we look for comfort where we can find it, and we hope - against all logic, against all experience. Like children, we never give up hope...
On Greed:
I have an aunt who whenever she poured anything for you she would say "Say when". My aunt would say "Say when" and of course, we never did. We don't say when because there's something about the possibility, of more. More tequila, more love, more anything. More is better.
On Happiness:
Maybe we're not supposed to be happy. Maybe gratitude has nothing to do with joy. Maybe being grateful means recognizing what you have for what it is. Appreciating small victories. Admiring the struggle it takes simply to be human. Maybe we're thankful for the familiar things we know. And maybe we're thankful for the things we'll never know. At the end of the day, the fact that we have the courage to still be standing is reason enough to celebrate.
On Effective Denial:
We deny that we're tired, we deny that we're scared, we deny how badly we want to succeed. And most importantly, we deny that we're in denial. We only see what we want to see and believe what we want to believe, and it works. We lie to ourselves so much that after a while the lies start to seem like the truth. We deny so much that we can't recognize the truth right in front of our faces.
here are some of my favorites from the show.
On Boundaries:
At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out. They fence you in. Life is messy. That's how we're made. So, you can waste your lives drawing lines. Or you can live your life crossing them. But there are some lines... that are way too dangerous to cross.

student loans
when i decided to take up my second degree, to study in the US was considered. it is expensive but i knew i could apply for a student loan. i started looking for school loan consolidation that i could apply for that would help me with finishing nursing school. having a consolidated loan was the best option i found bec it would give me a reduced monthly payments. other advantages were it offered flexible repayment options, to have an application approved was convinient, no application fees and prepayment penalties but most especially they provided with a low, fixed interest rate. which is very important for me. having available student loans is a blessing indeed because it gives everyone the equal oppurtunity of finishing school and having a brighter, better future. i wish we had such here in the philippines!
K9 Cuisine
i am no dog lover but when i chanced upon K9 cuisine,a leading website offering premium dog food and treats--i realized that dogs deserve the best too. i was amazed with the broad selection of natural healthy dog foods, treats, supplements and even grooming supplies. the website offers free deliveries for orders placed over $50.
for those dog owners who would like to give their dogs a treat, you will enjoy looking through the products they have available. K9 cuisine also offer for a refund if you and your dog is not satisfied with your purchase. this will give your dogs a "bow-wow" meal.

chris benoit
i am a wwe fan, so it came as a shock that chris benoit and family were found dead at their home in georgia. investigations have revealed that chris benoit killed his wife and their 7 year-old son. apparently, the police were alerted by wwe after people connected with the company received "curious" text messages from chris. i can't and will never understand on why he killed his son. it's just weird that wwe will give him a tribute--after what he did! i know i am in no position to pass judgement but to kill a 7 year old kid is totally inexcusable. i do hope authorities will look deeper into this. wwe stars are looked upon by a lot of people especially kids. Chris benoit is a popular wrestler. im pretty sure he is earning a lot. but with what recently happened, it only goes to show that money, fame, and fortune do not equal happiness in this world.

prophix
financial consolidation is one a very critical process of an organization. this is true not only for big companines but for those small companies as well. that is why having a financial consolidation software helps a company effectively manage consolidation cycle times and reporting processes without sacrificing vital controls or compliance with laws. having the software makes consolidating management and financial reports a breeze. thank God for this software from PROPHIX. if not for the software, i'ld probably never leave the office!

.::i hate wendy of pinoy big brother. if you watch pbb you will know what i mean. i do hope she gets evicted out of the house. i hate her. i hate her. i hate her.
.::with barely 3 hours of sleep i was awaken at 3:30 in the morning. the inconsiderate driver of our tenant was going out. to wake us up, he turned on the car's alarm. i think it woke up the whole barangay! for God's sake he could have waited for all the cars to get inside the garage since he knew he was going out early. take note, this is not the first time this happened! when my dad asked him on why he didn't just wait for everyone to get in he simply said he can't do anything because he was just a driver. if he can't do anything, we can. they are now not allowed to park their car inside the garage. who cares if they have to buy side mirrors every day (we live near banawe). the inconsiderate driver and his boss has to learn a lesson.
.::i have started reading review materails for the nursing board exam. im thinking of filing my resignation first week of july. by august im back to being an official bum. that means i won't have shopping money for the christmas season. boohoo.
.::happy birthday tomorrow to amboy! gawd, his 10 already. getting old. getting old.

Burn Notice
if i was a spy, one tool that is a must for me is a wrist watch digital camera. I want not the ordinary device from a James Bond movie but a real still video camera that is disguised as a watch. this spy device can collect all the evidence, proof or discreetly take snap shots. another must that would work well with my wrist watch digital camera is a digital vehicle tracing system for security and surveillance. spying and accomplishing dangerous missions is a breeze with all this devices. imagine a tracking system that has a tracking range of about 3 miles and monitoring up to 10 targets.
why the sudden dreaming for a spy device, it's all because of the new series that is to start on the 28th of June. USA Network's Burn Notice is one series i would surely not miss. The series which is created and written by Matt Nix, combines the best of the action/thriller elements with a mix of humor and an iconic new breed of spy. I have watched the series preview and this early i know that it is to be a sure hit! I can't wait to see the lead Michael Westen kills a person in 5 seconds with his thumb. that should be cool! with the lead being a hottie...that makes me all the more excited. teehee.

Way Back Into Love
I've been living with a shadow overhead
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on
I've been hiding all my hopes and dreams away
Just in case I ever need em again someday
I've been setting aside time
To clear a little space in the corners of my mind
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
Oh oh oh
I've been watching but the stars refuse to shine
I've been searching but I just don't see the signs
I know that it's out there
There's got to be something for my soul somewhere
I've been looking for someone to shed some light
Not somebody just to get me through the night
I could use some direction
And I'm open to your suggestions
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart again
I guess I'm hoping you'll be there for me in the end
oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
There are moments when I don't know if it's real
Or if anybody feels the way I feel
I need inspiration
Not just another negotiation
All I want to do is find a way back into love
I can't make it through without a way back into love
And if I open my heart to you
I'm hoping you'll show me what to do
And if you help me start again
You know that I'll be there for you in the end
I've been sleeping with a cloud above my bed
I've been lonely for so long
Trapped in the past, I just can't seem to move on

life insurance
one of the wisest investment you could make in life is a globe life insurance. in looking for an insurance company my main consideration is one that is affordable but could still provide with quality service. globe life insurance offers insurance coverage for both adults and children. you can never really prepare for what the future may bring but at least having something to fall back on is something one might want to consider.
John Stevens
the trip to the parlor last friday was a success!
for the longest time i have been wanting to have my hair rebonded. but because i have to have my hair on a bun during duty days, i had opted to just iron my hair when i want my hair down.
i was suppose to go to a korean salon tony and jacky in tomas morato but before i left the house i tried reading threads online of where i could get a good rebond at a fairly reasonable price. i read of john stevens. they were offering milk rebond and extenso. i then realized that they had a branch in retiro. it was half the price of a rebond with tony and jacky. i decided to try it, and boy am i glad i did!
love.love. my hair! i had to wait till i can shampoo my hair to write about it. after having a rebond treatment, you can't shampoo your hair for three days. it was only this morning that i shampood my hair and i still love the final outcome. everyone at work has been commenting on how good i look and how nice my hair is. they don't even believe me that i only spent Php2000 for my hair. my hair does not even look like i had it rebonded!
i was at the salon from 5 in the afternoon up to 10 in the evening but it was sooo worth it. ms joy took good care of me and my hair. she made sure that my hair color was not reacting to the hair treatment. she'ld always ask me if my scalp was itchy because that would mean that they'ld have to rinse my hair. she gave me tips on how to take care of my hair and suggested to go at least once a month for hair treatment. hair treatment would not cost more than Php400 so i guess if i want to maintain my nice hair i should really make it a point to see her once a month. everyone at the parlor was really nice and didn't complain that they had to stay late and wait for me to finish. ms joy asked me if i wanted to buy one of the products they were selling which actually came from china to put on my hair after drying my hair. she didn't force me to buy it but since i was interested with the product and i ended up buying one. i used it this morning and it made my hair more shiny.
if you need contact details of the salon just message me. if you'ld decide to go on a weekend i suggest that you make sure you have an appointment. the salon interior was not really nice but what the heck, as long as they give you value for your money service thats what's important. i will try to post pictures. john stevens have a lot of branches within the metro but i can't guarantee that the hair rebond treatment would be the same for every branch. i would highly recommend that you go to their retiro branch because ms joy is really good and she will really take care of you.

i don't know how to ride a motorcycle but that is not a reason for me not to own a motorcycle sunglasses. i love the designs i at -www.adseyewear.com-. imagine having sunglasses that ROCK and is bulletproof. especially since i had lasik eye treatment a couple of years back, i really need high contrast lenses for my sunglasses. these sunglasses are perfect for me. love them.
i don't have to go to work tomorrow. horray! that does not mean i have an extra day off though. an office mate just asked if i could work on saturday, so in exchange for that i don't have to work tom. yipee! saturday is a less stressful day especially since the bosses are not around--less work load too.
i could do more blog ops tomorrow and tonight since i don't have to worry about having to wake up early. plus, i could go to the salon for a much needed pampering. i have not gone to the salon for months now. the last time i had a hair treatment was february i think. i know that's bad. i just do home treatments. im thinking of having my hair rebonded tomorrow. but since i also have to start fixing my transcript i don't think i can stay in the salon for long. will see what happens.

since i now work in ortigas i have started taking the public transportation again. i don't think it is reasonable to have someone bring me to and from work bec gasoline has become very expensive. going to work is a breeze. my dad drops me off the mrt station and then i ride the shuttle to ortigas. going home though, i have no choice but to take the mrt.
even if the trip home is fast, i hate the mrt scene. i hate it that people all stay near the doors even if they get off on the last station. i hate it that everyone races out when they could just give way and get off in an orderly manner. i hate it that some people cut the line on going out of the station. i hate it that simple things like this make riding the train more complicated. going home is not suppose to be stressful.
i know everyone is rushing home but that is no reason to push other people and to act as if you are going to die if you are the last person off the train. take note, i get to observe this to happen every day. how i wish filipinos would learn to be more disciplined. or atleast learn to still practice discipline. we don't have to be in another country to be one!

grand bahama island
anyone out there who loves the beach would of course have on the list of beaches to go to the grand bahama island. since my previous post is about having a vacation, going for discovery cruise is something i would love to do after taking the board exams. i was thinking i would deserve the vacation if i pass the exams. just looking at the site would make you drool as the place is super b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l!
discovery cruise line is giving out a complimentary one day cruise for all the US military personnel who are serving in Iraq or Afgahnistan. i immediately thought of tito cookie who is now in iraq. he could being tita gemma to bahama island when he gets back. im pretty sure tita gemma would love the trip. and they truly deserve it since he has been gone for so long. i have to email tita gemma about this. and if you have any US military relative or friend serving in iraq or afgahnistan--spread the word!

i was thinking of going to bora alone. i want to go on a vacation alone.
why? i dunno.
i think it is healthy to be alone sometimes. the thing is i know i can survive being alone BUT who would take my pictures? how can i eat at true food alone? how can i party my heart out in bora alone? how can i ride the banana boat or go island hopping alone?
maybe i should just drop the idea of going to boracay and go to dumaguete alone instead.
at least when i get there, sassa would be there. then i would not be alone. teehee!

random stuff
~summer is official over. aside from the afternoon rain, a lot of the student's are back to school, but most of those in private schools will start school on monday. traffic this morning was bad. meaning, i have to wake up earlier than usual to be able to get to work before 8:30. :(
~it's the nursing board exam next week. i have 3 relatives taking the exam...that's why i opted to not take the exam. teehee. i don't think i can handle the pressure. what if they pass and i don't? a lot of friends from school are also taking the exam. i hope they all make it and pass. and then they could all pray for me as i take the exam next.
~i finished watching the first season of dawson's creek last night. hopefully i get to find time this week to watch the second season. and like grey's anatomy, i love the musical scoring of the series. kuya choi from work told me he could get me the dvd's for Php50 at quiapo. now i have to make a list of those i would want him to get me this weekend.
~i still don't know what to do with bogart :(

"What's worse, new wounds which are so horribly painful or old wounds that should have healed years ago and never did? Maybe our old wounds teach us something. They remind us where we've been and what we've overcome. They teach us lessons about what to avoid in the future. That's what we like to think. But that's not the way it is, is it? There are just some things we just have to learn over and over and over again."
"People have scars. In all sorts of unexpected places. Like secret road maps of their personal histories. Diagrams of all their old wounds. Most of our wounds heal, leaving nothing behind but a scar. But some of them don't. Some wounds we carry with us everywhere and though the cut's long gone, the pain still lingers."

Mercer Realty
a good friend from ibank who is now in the states emailed me that she has finally bought a house. she has been in north carolina for over 3 years and im so happy for her because her dream of owning a nc waterfront property has finally come true. the purchase of the property is a perfect timing as she and hubby is expecting their second baby this october. they didn't have a hard time looking for a house because they got a really good real estate firm that helped them in finding a a perfect property for them. my friend is insisting i go to the states and visit them. she is excited to see me but i think she is looking forward to me helping her take care of her kids. teehee.
i don't know on why he won for congressman for the first district of quezon city. the man is crazy. he has never done anything good for the district but tolerare the squatters.
that's the exact reason i prefered abe abesamis over bingbong crisologo during the last elections even if abe posted his posters on our front fence. atleast he was true to his word and had the posters removed hours after i went to his office.
i heard bingbong say on tv that the demolition of the squatters area along a creek in quezon city was illegal. didn't he even realize that those people are the ones who have illegal built their houses? i heard he has a big property along g.roxas in quezon city, i would suggest he just donate it and have the squatters now left homeless because of the demolition stay on his property.
how he acted was conduct unbecoming of a government official. watch the video and see for yourself what i actually mean. mind you, a few days before the said incident he also stopped a demolotion along e.rodriuez.

teak outdoor furnitures
we love staying in the garden. every time we have guests or even during those times that it is too hot to stay inside the house, we always stay in the garden. my mom would even sometimes say "let's eat outside" but that does not mean to actually dine in a restaurant but to have dinner at the garden. im sure my mom would love the teak outdoor furniture i found online. it's perfect for the garden. the furniture's they have are classic items but very elegant looking. i especially love the outdoor and patio dining sets that they have. what's great with the teak furniture's is that it ages gracefully meaning over time it develops a silvery gray patina that can be left in its natural state or revived to a warm honey glow with a light sanding or the application of a little teak oil. just what you'd want for outdoor furniture's.
just got back from the other house. was talking with tita nora--the best pianist i have ever known and i came up with a brilliant idea.
"A Night of Beautiful Music"
yep! i thought of setting up a bistro on the garage and garden for one night. i will be serving pastries, nachos, coffee, wine and beer. i will be charging a minimal fee for the show but, it will be so worth it because my tita is really good. the guests could also sing while she plays the piano. a night of beautiful music, good conversations, and a night to just relax and unwind.
hmmm...this will take a lot of planning but im hoping to pull this off before i start reviewing for the boards.

red sox
i am a boston red sox fan.
i used to not know how baseball works. i mean it was so much more complicated for me compared to basketball. after watching the movie angels in the outfield though a few years back, i got so interested with the game. i had to bug a cousin to explain it to me and now one of my dreams is to be able to watch a game live. one of my all time favorite team is the boston red sox. it's so cool that they are currently leading the series. i cant wait to finally have my red sox tickets and to be able to watch the game from the stands. the thought of this surely makes me happy and makes me look forward to the day i get to watch the game live.
one day i know this dream will come true. one day soon!
