Welcome 2010!!!

HOUSEWIFE na ako!!!
Pero wala pa ring money! hehehe.

This 2010, I am trying my best to organize my schedule for the year.
I even marked important dates on my calendar. You can try this also, and I hope you can stick to it. What I did, I got a calendar with big spaces for each day of the month(I used the calendar giveaway from Mercury which my mom gave me) and cut the lower portions. This year the calendar has pictures of trees on the cover and on the lower portions of each page for each month, together with the discount coupons. So, here I am.. trying to be really systematic about it---

1.I encircled the dates which are fun days!!!These are Family Field Trip or Family Bonding Events:)
2.I boxed the dates which are reserved for work-related events. These include trainings, seminars which can enrich my mind as well.
3.I marked with stars the dates which are very important/urgent like health stuff(check-ups,doctor appointments)
4. My daughter suggested to mark with triangles those dates reserved for birthdays. Nice idea! I just hope we won't be talking about trapezoid or hexagon markings next time:))

Side note: Danielle also has a diary that I told her to religiously update(Hey Karen, that diary is the gift you gave her!Thanks:) ). She also has a notebook where she pasted the Christmas tags she received last Dec 2009. She is the sentimental type I guess. So about the pictures of the trees from the calendar, she also pasted them. LOL. I told her to do that because when she becomes a grandma someday, her grandchildren may not know such trees existed before. I even told her that she might profit from it by selling these pictures to those who wouldn't know what trees look like,so to speak.

In planning your sked for the year, you must be goal oriented.
This year, I will try to strengthen my relationship with the Lord and my family. I will also enrich my mind:)
...and okay!!!!The ever present new year resolution...is to work on my body!

These are the recent things I have done:

1. I dont want to miss a Sunday Mass this year,so I went to the nearest chapel and got the sked of Sunday Mass from the janitor. This chapel is just a block away but i have not yet attended Mass in it. I think it is just normal for us to just relax and be passive of things that are usually "there". So sad, that a few blocks also from us was the Doll Museum of Marikina. Due to the recent Ondoy (Sept 26, 2009)..it seemed those dolls were ruined. I regret not going there..thinking..it is just there.

2. I went to the municipal hall and got the important dates for realty tax payment, got my cedula and other useful info I can gather... There is a free surgery clinic and operation just inquire at the Marikina Health Office along Shoe Avenue. There is also a 50% discount on the realty tax until June 30 for lumpsum payments.

3.I went to youtube on how to cook,bake or make stuff. Then, I went to sites which offer trainings or seminars. Take a look at this: Philippine Trade Training Center
http://www.pttc.gov.ph/ You may download their sked for the 1st quarter of this year.
So for starters, I boxed the dates with trainings my husband and I would like to attend at PTTC. I only chose the P100.hehe
Next time I will take advantage of the training sessions offerred here at Marikina:)

4. As for our first Family Fun Day, we went to the Manila Zoo! This is our Fun Day for January. I will write on it soon:)

Our next goal is the PASINAYA 2010 Festival:The CCP Open House Festival this February. I am already looking forward to doing this!!!

From their site:

Nada de nada

This is well, impromptu.

I have not said much in a while. I don't know if i should be jovial about it. Does this mean I was so busy (hopefully productive)... that I was not able to steal a little time from my work? Then, I realized, this is so ironic. I feel so empty.

I have been in a maelstrom of emotions lately. I have to stomach the idiosyncracies of some people, including my own. I am so exhausted. I have been pondering about lots of things. But to those reading, I presume you also have to put up with this vague material.

I am just tired.

I know many of you felt this way. Sometimes it just makes you cry...intensely...sporadically... and uncontrollably.

Just like what I'm doing today. I am crying about what happened last night.

Last night, I came home from work feeling so down. My husband still needed to do overtime work so it was only me and my kid. We were about to sleep but she wanted to play. But please, help me, it was quite late. I told her no, and I think not in a nice way. Did I shout? I don't know anymore. I just told her I'm so tired and turned my back. Then I heard sniffling and a muffled voice saying " Sana andito si lola" repeatedly. Then I cried. I've never heard her cry like that. I usually hear her crying violently when she's physically hurt..but this was different. It's more of a grown up cry...sobbing...yet controlling what you really feel inside. She evn covered her face with a pillow...I hugged my daughter and we just cried. I told her I'm sorry I always go to work and leave her behind. I really wanted to play with her...

Then we made peace and she wanted to play with me again! Hah! I told her, "Pagod na talaga si Nanay."

Do you know what she did? Sabi niya..." Ay, sorry, sorry di sinasadya...Mahal yan. Mahal yan si Nanay." Then she sang me a lullaby! " Tulog na, tulog na si nanay ko...tulog na ang nanay ko. Mahal yan, mahal yan ni Danielle. Tulog na ang nanay..."

..........

I hope you learned something from this. I don't need anymore to explicitly get it across...

God bless us, parents and children, the same.

Guys' Rules daw

The Guys' Rules (not complete...natamad na ata ako...=)­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­­...ang haba na)
>My comment/ Danielle’s

1. Men are NOT mind readers.
> Translation: Men are insensitive.
1. Learn to work the toilet seat.
You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down.
We need it up, you need it down.
You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down.
> Guys don't need it up, do they? Isipin nyo na lang...sino ba ang magluluto?

1. Sunday sports. It's like the full moon or the changing of the tides. Let it be.
> Here in Manila, almost everyday, you have boxing events...talo pa telenovela. Buti pa nga telenovela...matagal pa rerun. Sa boxing, halos replay ng replay. Seriously speaking, ok lang naman sa akin ang boxing. EXCEPT!!!! Except...kapag nanonood din ang baby ko. NO violence kapag andyan siya, no wrestling, boxing, or even mga telenovelas. Kasi naman, mas barbaric pa nga sa wrestling ang ibang telenovelas ng Pinoy (buhusan ba naman ng asido, itulak sa hagdan, sabunutan sa putikan, etc)

1. Shopping is NOT a sport. And no, we are never going to think of it that way.
> Ahmm..window-shopping pwede na? Hehe. Walang pambili...=)

1. Crying is blackmail.
> Bakit? You still don't give in...medyo lang.

1. Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work!
Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it!
> But when we do we speak, we are called "naggers". Kahit one word pa lang...pikon ang guys.

1. Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question.
> Watch out for some actions that will help you know the answers...
...Smile means YES. Eye rolling means NO. Got that?

1. Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is what your girlfriends are for.
> Kaya pala noong nanliligaw pa lang kayo. Sabi niyo: I can lend you some ears…nge.

1. A headache that lasts for 17 months is a Problem. See a doctor.

> Girl: Hi Just got back from the clinic.

Guy: So HOw was it? What’s the Cause?

Girl: The doctor said IT was you.

Guy: What, how, why did he say that?

Girl: he just asked me how long we’ve been together. i said 17 months. and he said…Oh, I see.

1. Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days.

>Kasi nakalimutan na nila…Bakit makakalimutin ang guys?

The following Rules I need the lines of my baby danielle:

1. If you won't dress like the Victoria 's Secret girls, don't Expect us to act like soap opera guys.

> Danielle: “ASUSSSSSS!”

1. If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us.

> Danielle:“ HINDI NAMAN….”
(kapag pinagsabihan siya na amoy pawis na siya sa kalalaro)

1. If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of them makes you sad or angry, then we meant the other one

> Danielle: “ Ano talaga?”

1. You can either ask us to do something Or tell us how you want it done.
Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself.

> Danielle: “AYOKO, ikaw lang muna. di pa marunong ako. maliit pa ako eh.”
One time, pinapabuo niya lego...Ako yung nagbubuo, sasabihin nya kung saan ikakabit...kala ko ewan lang.tapos... nagmukhang kotse, minsan bahay, minsan mukhang ewan...yun pala...ipis daw!

1. Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials.

> Translation: Men can’t do multiple tasks at the same time.

1. Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we.

> Danielle: “ASUS…ganun talaga yun? hindi naman”

1. ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings.
Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit.

We have no idea what mauve is.

> Danielle: “Ay, di mo alam? Bakit di mo alam? Nakalimutan mo?”

Tinanong niya minsan ano English ng muta (gummy eye secretion kaso one word meron ba? Napaisip tuloy ako…)…kapag nag-isip ka ng kaunti, sasabihin na niya yan… “Ay, di mo alam? Bakit di mo alam? Nakalimutan mo,ha?” tapos kalabit-kalabit pa sa balikat.Pang-asar talaga. Kapag totally di mo alam..sasabihin niya…”Aaah, di alam. Di alam pala.” Lalayo, tapos ikukwento pa sa unang makita..."Di niya alam muta"

My Tibak Blood

I think this is still familiar to you. I am so happy I recovered this. I composed the latter part about the impeachment(Erap's). My friend said she saw this on a newspaper at that time. Akala din niya forwarded message ko lang. Sabi ko, nya...ako gumawa non=) Ginawa ko kasing telenovela ang impeachment non. Yey! Narecover ko! (Wala naman sigurong mag-aatempt na ikulong ako no?)

WHY DID THE CHICKEN CROSS THE ROAD?

KINDERGARTEN TEACHER: To get to the other side.

CAPTAIN JAMES T. KIRK: To boldly go where no chicken has gone before.

SIGMUND FREUD: The fact that you are at all concerned that the chicken crossed the road reveals your underlying sexual insecurity.

BILL GATES: I will soon release the new Chicken Office 2002, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your checkbook.

CHARLES DARWIN: Chickens, over great periods of time, have been naturally selected and evolved over time in such a way that they are now genetically endowed with the capabilities required to cross roads.

RALPH WALDO EMERSON: The chicken did not cross the road. It transcended it.

BILL CLINTON: I did not, repeat, did not have sexual relations with the chicken.

ERAP: Ang media ang may kasalanan diyan!

MIRIAM DEFENSOR-SANTIAGO: " Aha! I know it! That chicken crossed the road to provoke me. I move to permanently hold in contempt that chicken. I request for a restraining order, your honor, so that the chicken would not be able to cross the road again!"

RAMON REVILLA: "I concur, your honor. You see, may timbangan ako ng manok sa bahay. Doon ko nga nalaman na 96 grams ang 1000 na bills ng 1000 pesos to make 1 million pesos. See 96 grams? 96 grams talaga! Malapit yun sa isang kilo...eh sa 96 grams talaga eh...Pero huwag nyo akong tanungin kung ilang kilo ang manok na nagcross ng road. Eh, di ko nakilo eh. I guess, takot syang pakilo. Baka kulang sya ng 96grams. In short, kulang sya ng isang kilo."

EMMA LIM: Para po uminom ng iced tea, your honor!

CHAVIT SINGSON: Eh, nililito nyo lang po ako, your honor. Di ko alam kung bakit nagcross yun ng road. Wala naman sa ledger ko kung bakit. Nililito nyo lang po ako. Nililito nyo lang po talaga ako.

CLARISSA OCAMPO: It crossed the road to go to the office of, I am sorry, Mr. Estelito Mendoza.

ESTELITO MENDOZA: Whether I will quit as a defense lawyer of the president or not, shall depend upon the decision of the president himself, not the crossing of the road by the chicken.

RAUL ROCO: It is a noble profession to be a chicken and to cross that road!

CHIEF JUSTICE HILARIO DAVIDE: Unless there is an objection, the chicken can cross that road. [end]
