>What’s On Your Mind?

>

This blog is my only outlet. I have a twitter and some social media networks but most of the time I express myself through this blog. I’ve been blogging since 2007 but I don’t really share this blog to some of FRIENDS. I know that my blog is searchable in Google but I don’t really share the link personally to my friends. I think this is still my hiding place and so glad that I can still pour my feelings freely here.

Well… there are a lot of things going on.
1. Health – I don’t know but lately I am bother about my health. I don’t know if my sugar shoots up again but sometimes I am so uneasy. I think I have to do something about it asap. Sometimes maybe I am just stressed out that is why I am experiencing weird lately.
2. Health Insurance – since I am working online, I don’t have health insurance or benefits from the company I am working. So I got this insurance but it has a lot of things to do before the approval. I already signed up and reserved money for it but the agent texted me that I need to have blood test first before they will approve my application. OMG! it’s really killing me… I want that insurance asap. But I don’t have a choice but wait!
3. Career – starting next month we will have career transition. We will not be under in any outsourcing sites. Our remittance is directly from the company and this one is really keeping me nervous. As much as I hate changes but I think this time I should embrace it. This is for the benefit of the company and of course for us but it’s not easy. Lots of adjustments to do but we have to deal with it.
We are now handling the US and Canada marketing accounts. The preparations is really not easy and we are staying late for to prepare everything before September comes.
4. Deadlines!! – yes we need to meet deadlines! We need to show to our clients that we are ahead of them and ready for everything! I know we are but still I need to recheck… recheck and recheck!
5. OC- yes I am OC and because of that I want everything in order. I discuss what I want and I expect from the people around me to deliver what I want also and sometimes they failed so that adds frustrations and depressions in my part.
Finally, I pour some already but I know that I can only do things that is within my control. I am hoping that in the next coming days I will feel better.
I hope so…

>The Official Pictures of Pillow’s First Birthday

>

I hired an official photographer and videographer for Pillow’s Birthday. Investing a professionals for this event is so worth it because pictures and videos will help us remember those wonderful moments. Since I am a sentimental mom, so this one is very necessary for me.
Enjoy the pictures!!


















Everytime I checked the pictures, I still remember how the party went so perfect that day. I am so thankful that I hired a Party Planner to help me in very details. I am so grateful also that friends and families were there to celebrate with us.

>Our Stay at Linden Suites

>

During Pillow’s first birthday we stayed at Linden Suites. We stayed 2 nights at the 3 Bedroom Suite.
The place is so relaxing. We stayed at the 4th Floor but we can’t hear cars or street sounds. It seems that we are staying far from the city. The suite is big enough. Gareth spends most of the time running around the suite. The kitchen is big and has all the basic amenities.
If you are interested in staying at Linden Suites feel free to email them.

>Pillow’s Milestone

>

Pillow is growing fast. She learn so many things easily. She loves going around the house. We need to clean each corner of the house because she loves picking everything and putting it to her mouth. She also loves to dance everytime she hears Bruno Mars and Justin Bieber songs. She has 6 teeth already and loves biting my clothes like a little monster. LOL

She is not sleeping like before too. She is very active and loves to eat everything. She loves peek-a-book game. She is still learning to walk and it seems that she is taking her time and I am not in forcing her to do it right away. I want her to do it on her own. She is also talking a lot but mostly I can’t understand yet but I am glad that she is really trying. She also loves to sing.
I am a very proud mom of my kids and I can’t wait to witness all the exciting milestone in their lives!

>Managing Stress

>

Managing a business is not a joke. I feel so weak recently due to some planning. We need to open our 2nd store and I am still looking for that perfect place. Well, I hope it is really perfect. I am also doing the inventories, uploading pictures and labeling the items. I need to work for the business permit too. whew! lots of work!
As a Country Marketing Manager, we will be operating widely this coming Sept. We will be managing Canada offices too. The waiting is killing me and added stress as well. We need to finalize everything so that we can start when September comes.
So a massage will definitely makes me feel better. I should have it this weekend.

>Dear Darla

>Something funny happened today…

After we went to our supplier, we decided to drop by at the nearby Yellowcab to take out pizza but I realized that we should stay longer and ordered Dear Darla Pizza.
At the menu the Dear Darla Pizza looks like this:
It looks so appetizing and I wanted to it try for the first time. We waited around 10 minutes then it was served to our table like this:
I thought that its ready to eat but we have to roll it individually. It’s actually fun and I love doing it. So I looked to hubby and both of us are wondering on how to prepare it. waaaaaa but then eventually we figured it out. hahahaha
I like those vegetables and its really a healthy meal. So perfect! Yummy!

>Wants or Needs?

>The last time we bought major appliances was year 2003 after we got married. My husband loaned at the company he previously worked.

We just celebrated our 8 Year Anniversary and when we checked our major appliances and furniture they are not as functional as before.
So I will be making a list of the items needed:
1. Refrigerator – it’s not functioning and currently we are using our Freezer and because of that we are paying higher electric bill.
I saw at SM a Kelvinator Matte Black Ref. I might get this one.
2. Stove – We are still using the stove given to us when we got married and it needs replacement since the other burner is not functioning.
Since we are planning to renovate the house next year we decided to just get a 2 burner stove. Hubby wants a La Germania stove but we will just get it next year after the house renovation.
3. Aircon – we are using our aircon for 6 years and needs replacement.
I want a Carrier Aircon.
4. Dining Set – we have a glass type dining table and so far its still okay but the chairs are not dependable anymore. This time I want a wood dining set.
5. Washing Machine – Our washing machine don’t have a drier so everytime it rained we got a problem in drying our clothes.
I want LG Topload Washing Machine.
We are working so hard for the coming weeks to buy all the items listed! Goodluck to us!
