For the love of Shoes

Retention payout is fast approaching, and my pay is enough for me to pay the bills and have a little extra cash for my wants. I made a list on what to with my retention payout, and as I made my list, I was thinking whether to buy a shoes or a flats or perhaps a new sandal. But because for me, I feel so comfortable just by wearing flat sandals or simply flat shoes and sneakers. Then, all of a sudden, I was thinking of VANS or Renegade Folk brand of shoes. While visiting themall in StyleBible, I saw this cute gray suede leather boat shoes, it caught my attention, and I love it. But then on the other hand, at the back of my mind, I always love to buy a new pair of Vans and when it comes to the colors, I had trouble deciding which is which. For now, these are the 3 colors that I have in my mind. I still have to weigh things out whether to buy or not to buy. Anyways, so far, these are my personal choice of shoes to buy and I just don't know if I will surely buy these shoes because I might changed my mind. let's just wait and see.

PS: What can you suggest? Vans or the Renegade Flats? And what color? Suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

The summary of Day 1 and Day 2

Okay, forget about day one and two. I was about to blog yesterday which is day one but last night I was so tired and sleepy so after checking my Facebook, I turned off my laptop and slept. I woke up late and by the time I woke up, I then checked my Facebook and created a new look in Looklet.com

I was way too busy with Facebook and Looklet till all my time was consumed. But it's not that worst. Around 3pm till 11pm I stayed in my parents room talking with my mom or if not in our kitchen and you'll catch me eating. I was really pigging out during my vacation stay here. For sure, by the time I'll be back in Manila, I know I'll gain a lot of weight, but I don't care. Besides, I need to gain a little weight 'coz I look so thin or I feel so thin or the other way around.

Anyways, today is supposed to be Day 2 but then I think this is the summary of Day one and Day two. Yesterday was my sister's birthday. We celebrated her birthday by preparing something. We didn't invite other people but the only guests that we have is my sister's boyfriend and my brother's girlfriend. Not to mention my boyfriend 'coz he is still in Manila. I was the only one who doesn't have a pair but I'm all good. Besides, if Mingming was here, I don't want him to come because he also needs to spend time with his family since he's only here for a 4 days vacation too.

And so, yesterday, my mom prepared seafood and grilled pork and fish and squid, we had chocolate cake, Buko salad and a lot more. I was super duper full and I ate a lot, and it felt like it was holiday. Aside from that, we took pictures, we had family pictures, group pictures and couples too that excludes me. We had a "Headband day" also which simply means, aside from the birthday, we had a family picture wherein we all are wearing a funny and childish headbands. All of us wore even my father. I was really happy and so blessed to have a family like them. I thank GOD a million gazillion times to have a family like them.

HAPPY and BLESSED. Those are the words that could describe me. I was really happy because I was able to come home and spent time with my family, second because thank GOD we are still united and it's good to know that we are all complete. I thank GOD for that. I would never ever trade these moments and time to be with them. Like what they always say, "There's no place like home" and I would definitely would agree with that.

I'm glad to be home. Glad I was able to unwind despite all the stress and the stressors at work. I thank my manager/teamlead for allowing me to be here and be with my family. I know, there's nothing you can do but allow me. LOL..

I guess I have to end up here. By the way, tomorrow, I was planning to meet my girlfriends. I miss them and one of the reasons why I'm here is to see them as well. I miss my girls a lot. Hopefully all of them will come. I would expect that. I'm so excited and I look forward to meet them. I just can't wait.

Till here! Au Revoir!! XOXO

Post Arrival

Finally!! Home sweet home!! I am so overwhelmed. After 5 months since the last time I visited here and a year since the last time I stayed here. I admit, I missed everything. I was so surprised when my mom granted my request, she bought me Shrimps served for dinner. It was like a year since I last ate those and I was really pigging out. Sorry but I just can't help.

Anyways, I was thinking I should be blogging everything that happened in my stay here. I mean for the longest time of being away from my family, every treasured moments should be captured. And starting tomorrow, I'll be taking pictures of myself and my family and our dogs too. This ain't Day One, 'coz this is just a post arrival blog. I was just here for like hours so let's take it into consideration. :)

Well, it's really getting late and I'm still wide awake. I miss spending out this late in my room, nothing important is going on but definitely you'll catch me surfing and blogging and some other stuff I normally do when I'm bored.

My mom and I had a little conversation, but then I thought it would end that easily, but I was really having the longest conversation with her. I was really sleepy and my eyes were like twitching but then I still managed to actively listen to whatever she says. I'm spending my maximum time here with my family. Anyways, thank GOD, I was still in my concentration in paying attention to her.

Our dog Butchow could no longer recognized me because he was way 3 months the last time I saw him and for sure, he's not familiar with me since I've been away from them. I didn't see him growing up. But so far, I was trying to reach out and now, we're like so so.. Quite okay but manageable. :)

I guess I have to end up here. I am so damn sleepy.. Till here guys. :)

PS: HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my elder sister.. May you have more birthdays to come and never ending blessings that GOD would pour on you.. :)

Movie Marathon

Yesterday Mingming and I had our normal routine Sunday afternoon. After my shift, since it's still too early to attend Sunday service, I went straight home and Mingming asked me what I wanted to do. He suggested to go watch a movie in my laptop since we still have pending downloaded movies that we haven't watch, so we decided to take a break and watched a movie.




Killers - Spencer Aimes (Ashton Kutcher), is an undercover and a hired assassin whose quest is to kill European Locals. On the other hand, Jen Kornfeldt (Katherine Heigl) a beautiful lady, who recently had her heart broken travelled to Nice with her parents. While on her way to the room, when the elevator door opened, she was stumbled and amaze to see Spencer who seems to be topless at that time. They exchanged smiles till they introduced each other. It was then that Spencer invited Jen for a dinner and she accepted. The two started dating, until Spencer decided to quit his job but then his boss disagrees with his decision 'coz they just don't quit that easily but what he did, he stopped and then he decied to marry Jen with the blessing of her parents. They live a normal life after that. Three years after, Spencer received an ultimatum from his boss about another job offer but he refused the offer. That's when their neighbors turned out to be their enemies and betrayed them because for a fact that Spencer is the target of a multi-million dollar hit. They suspected and can't trust anyone, and ran to save their lives and their marriage since they've been arguing because Jen didn't know what Spencer is up to and all his past or his real job is, all he thought that Spencer was just any ideal, Mr. Nice guy and the seemingly gentleman type but then it turned out to an undercover.

Grown Ups - It's actually a comedy about families, about a team reuniting after their coach died and after 32 years of being away from each other, how their lives turned out to be, how they deal with their wives and children, reminiscing the good old times. and spending out of their time being together with their buddies and their families. It was a hilarious movie. It was more like a free speech, as if they were just plain talking, teasing each other and all. The acting were all pretty natural. It's a must see movie for the family.

Nuffnang Experience

I was checking my mails when all of a sudden I remembered I signed up to nuffnang. I checked my account if it's still existing and to my surprise, yes it still exists. Without further hesitation, I updated my account and added my 2 active blogs, this one and my tumblr account. I had numerous blogs from different sites but then so far these are the only blogs that is updated. I haven't checked nor visited the others. I had a hard time understanding on how to post the ads, you have to edit the HTML layout and as far as I can remember, I was way back in high school the last time I reviewed about HTML stuff. It was really an epistaxis moment for me. But then thank GOD, they have a very helpful tips with images on how to add those code in the HTML layout. I had to sort everything out and hope I did the right thing. When I saw the preview, I was like saying to myself "Oh! Finally.. Nuffnang it's nice to see you.." It's been like months since I heard about Nuffnang. Promotions and advertised from different bloggers that I've followed and from the blogosphere itself. Due to my curiosity I signed up without reading the terms and conditions. But anyways, since I had all the time in the world earlier, I took my time reading their terms and agreements. I just understood their terms just now after months of signing in their account.

Anyways, so much for all the talk. What matters is that I was able to update my account and at the same time, and I can see their ads in my pages already. Glad to be part of them. My next step, is to be part of their Glitterari, it's like a VIP for members. Looking forward in 4 days to be part of it.

I guess that would be all... Just want to share my Nuffnang experience.

PS: I am so excited for my flight tomorrow to Cebu!! I can now finally see my family!! :) ♥♥♥

Bringing bad news

Today was really one of the busiest day at work. Everyone seems to be so stressed earlier when agents from Boulder turned over their boards and inbound calls to us. Handling 2-3 branches is tolerable but 6 branches? That is very toxic. Take note, in 1 branch I had 3 directed callout and a lot of calls that needs to be covered ASAP. (yes - immediate coverage). Anyways, I know you guys can't relate to my field of work so I'm putting this aside.

Moving on, yesterday I spoke with my mom, she said my dad is about to resign this December, not because he wanted to but because a new memo has been released by their HR that those employees who are 60 years old and above has to resign. My dad felt sad about the news, I mean he's not old enough but then he still wants to work. He doesn't want to just stay at the house and do nothing. I felt sad at the same time happy. Sad because he still wants to work, we still have lots of responsibilities to attend to, and happy at the same time because at his age, they are supposed to be staying at the house or travel around the world or simply do nothing but enjoy life. It's at their age wherein you will actually look back your achievements. I just don't know how to react in such. I guess this is it, we can't do anything but accept the fact.

On the other hand, I blogged in my Tumblr that I'll be visiting Forever21's store yesterday, but sad to say, I felt lazy so I decided to just stay in the Foodcourt. I ordered Takuyaki and a 16 oz Sago't Gulaman. I was pigging out. And also yesterday, I lost my interest in starting a fashion blog. It's not because I'm lazy to create a new account but because my boyfriend discouraged me. He said I don't fit in because I'm not really born to be fashionista, I have lack of resources and my style is too laid back to be labeled as such. I just don't know why he said that, is it because he's way too honest or maybe he just don't want to support me. I don't know but I told myself, fine, he's right, he has a point and maybe I don't need to force and pressure myself in fashion world. Well, just to gain more courage, I told myself that you don't have to create a fashion blog just for the whole world to see that you are into fashion, as long as you have confidence in yourself then that's it. Period.

Well, I guess I just have to deal with it. I guess...
