Business Seminar

Jan. 15, 2015

Hubby and I attended a business seminar because we wanted to start a new business. If you are into business, you should not stop. You should keep on looking for something that will help your other business as well. You don’t have to place all eggs in one basket. Kailangan marami kang ideas at hindi ka dapat mapapagod.

My Travel Agency and Spas are doing great and I guess it’s about time to open a new one but opening a new one is not always easy. Of course maintaining the business is also very important.

Since, I am still on the process of finding a new business to build, I need to attend different business seminars to gather ideas and of course to check if it is doable.

It’s not easy to decide but I know God and my angels will help me pick the right one for me. I am not in hurry though… I am taking it easy and surely as always.

Because I am Sick…

It’s the 3rd day already, I am thankful that I don’t have fever now but still I feel dizzy if I stand up or walk around. I don’t have enough energy yet. So here I am just taking much of my time sleeping and eating. Kailangan kong bumawi.

I asked hubby to get me some fruits and when he return he surprised me with this roses. 🙂

I want mangoes and oranges. Medyo mapait kasi panglasa ko kaya gusto ko ng fruits. I somehow lost appetite but I have to force myself to eat kasi ako din manghihina kung hindi ako kakain.

It’s been a while na hindi ako nagkasakit, siguro ngayon hindi na kinaya ng katawan ko ang sobrang pagod. Lately kasi kulang palagi sa tulog kasi may sakit din ang mga bata tapos sunod sunod ang mga appointments ko at syempre ang weather na hindi maintindihan, kaya ayan bumigay na ang katawan ko.

I am sure I will feel better soon….

Home Office

Since it’s new year, I made sure to update my home office by adding some anik anik.

I like my table planner. Mas madali kong macheck ang schedules ko. Minsan kasi nagkakagulo gulo na.

I bought this cute calendar. Grabe bago ko naset up ang kalat kalat kasi ginupit gupit ko. Pero ang cute wag lang liparin ng hangin kasi nagkakagulo ang dates.

Those are planners I got this year at Starbucks and Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf with our pictures when we went to Disneyland with Ayumi.

Yes I love Eiffel Tower too, just like everyone else! ehehhe

My personalized notepad and powerbank is also very important. I see to it to carry it with me wherever I go.

Not Feeling Well

Yesterday at the meeting, I was not feeling good already. I have flu.

Supposed to be I have a meeting today but I have to cancel. I hate it when I cancelled important meetings but I have no choice. I don’t want to go out if I am sick. For the whole day I am just staying in our room and by the way, the 2 kids are sick too. 🙁 This is really bad because I can’t take care of them because I am sick too. I am just glad that hubby did everything to make us feel comfortable.

Xavier teething is the cause of his colds and fever. I hope for his fast recovery and I hope this teething process will be easy on my little one.

Tomorrow, I have another seminar and hoping that I will feel fine tomorrow so that I can go with my scheduled appointments. Please say a little prayer for our fast recovery.

Thanks everyone!

Nanbantei Restaurant

I was craving for Japanese Food, so when I had my meeting at BGC Taguig, I looked around then we found Nanbantei. The restaurant is still new. I like the ambiance. The waiters are friendly and the food are so good.

We order a Platter and to our surprise madami pala…

Medyo nahirapan kaming ubusin ang order namin. I even ordered Tempura pero hindi na kaya kasi sobrang busog na kaya take out na lang namin ang tempura.

Since the meeting was moved later that day, we had enough time to dine in pero yon nga after it, sobrang busog na kami at gusto ko ng matulog. eheheh

Para hindi ako antukin naglakad lakad kami while waiting for my friend.

Paoay Church

January 6, 2015

We went to Laoag to visit Paoay Church

It was the oldest church that I visited so far.

After visiting Paoay Church we headed back to Vigan to take home some longganisa and Bagnet.

Windmill

Jan. 6, 2015

We checked out at the resort around 12pm because we wanted to visit the famous Windmill in Pagudpud. I am thankful to google maps because it made our travel easier. We don’t need to asked the directions of the places we wanted to visit because having google maps is much easier. The places I wanted to visit seems so accessible.

It is very important to us to plot our destinations first before we started our journey. I am glad that the maps in Pagudpud is already updated as well as the short cut roads.

Bangui Wind Farm is a wind farm in Bangui, Ilocos Norte, Philippines. The wind farm uses 20 units of 70-metre (230 ft) high Vestas V82 1.65 MW wind turbines, arranged on a single row stretching along a nine-kilometer shoreline off Bangui Bay, facing the West Philippine Sea. (Wikipedia)

I always wonder why I don’t see people swimming around the area and when I visited the place, finally my questions were answered. You can’t see tourists went into the beach to swim because you can’t find any beach resorts within the area.

The place is so beautiful and I am glad that finally I visited Pagudpud.

We will definitely go back to explore the place more.

At Pagudpud

Jan. 4, 2015

After our trip to Vigan we went to Pagudpud. It was another long drive and we reached Pagudpud at around 7pm and stayed at Arinaya Beach Resort.

I love the beach. It was so perfect. The white sand is almost the same as Boracay.

The water was so cold. He had colds when we went there and after I take him to the beach nawala na ang colds nya. Totoo nga ang sinasabi ng mga matatanda na gamot ang dagat sa ubo at sipon.

Gusto ko na ulit bumalik don sa Pagudpud, maganda kasi ang beach pero sobrang layo lang talaga. One day babalik ulit ako tapos lahat ng tourist spots pupuntahan ko na.

Unplanned Vacation

After we visited Ayumi’s spot as I went inside the car to have our lunch, I suddenly changed my mind. Instead of going to Resorts World, I wanted to go to Vigan, Laoag and Pagudpud.

I told hubby my planned and he agreed.

So after, we headed back home to prepare. We got our small luggage and packed our clothes. We prioritize the kids stuffs and this time we didn’t packed that much because we thought we will be out for just 2 days.

So we leave around 4pm then at 11pm we arrived at La Union and decided to just look for a hotel. I was so tired already for the long drive and the kids needs to rest. We stayed at Golden Park Inn Hotel and get a family room. It was huge with aircon, tv and small bathroom but it was okay. We sleep comfortably…

We woke up excited. We had lunch then headed to Vigan.

It was a long drive again. Around 1pm we arrived at Vigan.

Vigan Cathedral

Ang kalesa.

Old houses

Souvenirs

Ang batang gala… 🙂

I was amazed with the Heritage City. I love how they keep the place intact up to this age.

Ang sarap talagang mamasyal…

To be continued….

Ayumi’s 2nd Angel Anniversary

Jan. 3, 2015

Days before the anniversary, I was not feeling good. I don’t like going out. I just stayed the whole time in the bedroom. I don’t feel like facing people. Going out was a struggle. I don’t even want to watch tv or play with the kids. I wanted to be alone.

When the day came, the Jan. 3, 2015, around 1pm we went to her place. We bought flowers and balloons which my sister ordered the day before. We ordered KFC chicken just in case we wanted to eat at the cemetery. I don’t know, but I don’t feel that down that day. I woke up happy and that I can’t explain. I know that Ayumi is working so hard to make me feel good. I was the last one who get up to prepare and everyone was waiting for me. They know how hard it is for me to celebrate that day. They know how hard for me to drag myself for this event. The event that I don’t want to celebrate but I have to, to honor my daughter.

It was indeed a miracle that I made it without the feeling of so down. I was happy that day and I am thankful for Ayumi. She is really a great help.

I had fun with the balloons with Xavier.

One day, I will tell the story to Xavier. One day he will understand why we are doing this. One day I will tell him about Ayumi…

Hubby distributing the balloons.

We were ready to let go of the balloons. It is our love for Ayumi to Heaven.

They waited me to let go of my balloon first and then everyone followed. 🙂

Sending our love to her…

I still wish to have her with us. I never stop wishing… I know one day we will be together again and when that time comes, I will ask her why she gone so soon. I know there might be a reason for it but I still want to hear it from her.

A million words would not bring you back, I know because I've tried neither would a million tears, I know, because I've cried.
