IT HAS BEEN ANOTHER WEEK

Written: Friday Feb 3, 2012 2200H

Sorry guys, I didn’t keep my promise to post atleast 1 entry a day. It’s been quite a busy week for me at work. Ang daming meetings, orientations, 1 on 1 schedule and many other else. But ofcourse I am thankful I have work. This is the hardest part lang talaga of joining a new team, a new company. Many adjustments are to be made and I have to learn the current set up and processes. Buti na lang I have the nicest boss and colleagues, everything seems easy because of them. And thank God there’s weekend! We always have something to look forward to and breathe.

On a lighter note, today is our 68^th bf/gf monthsary. Grabe 68 months! Ang tagal na pala namin ni Poy since we officialy became mag-bibi =) We had a simple celebration in Chik-Boy. Ganyan pag tumatanda na, liempo at barbeque lang eh katalo na sa monthsary celebration haha!

But it’s the thought that counts actually. The fact that Poy still remembers our bf/gf monthsary is already enough, and not just remember ha? It’s a very special day for him too. Mas madami kiss ko from him every 3^rd (bf/gf) and 10^th (wedding) of the month. Yiiieee!!

This will be a busy weekend for us, well lagi naman. We’ll go to Samsung tomorrow to have our TV checked. We bought it in Dubai and have it shipped here, problem is, some of the channels have no sounds. One of our friends told us to replace daw the cable to ‘gold cable something’, so hubby bought it but still hindi pa din sya ok. I’m a bit worried because we haven’t used the TV since November. Hopefully, sa settings lang ang problema.

And since it’s Mimay’s 34^th month birthday tomorrow (Feb 4), we’ll most probably allow her to play in SM while me and Poy eat siomai outside the playhouse while waiting. After that, we’ll try to squeeze in my driving lesson session with husband. He wanted me to learn to drive, I agree basta automatic lang. Goodluck sa kin, I hope I’ll learn. But you know, I really want to drive eversince. I can drive but the problem is pag may kasabay na ko sa daan, ayun nervousness to the next level ang drama ko. So please join me in prayer that I’ll get over the kaba and all.

Then on Sunday, ofcourse we’ll attend the church service in the morning then have our lunch to my lola’s house to visit her and at the same time celebrate my tita/ninang’s birthday there. After lunch, we’ll go visit our future abode in Silang Cavite together with my other Tita’s and my siblings. I’ll make a separate post about it! If we’re friends in FB I’m sure you already had a glimpse of our “dikdik”, that’s how we call our future house. I’ll let you know why on my next post. And since dikdik is just one tumbling away from Nuvali, I’ll treat my family over early dinner in celebration of my first salary in Maxim hehe.

Hiningal ba kayo sa weekend schedule namin? Mas lalo ako haha! Ganyan kami mag rest day ng family ko. Bakit ba kasi hindi nauso dito sa Pinas yung 3 days work lang in a week para rest day yung 4 days. Pag nangyari yun, malamang walang laman bank account namin kasi wala na kami gagawin kundi mag lamyerda haha!

Happy weekend everyone! Take this opportunity to bond with your loved ones! =)

 

BLACKMAIL VIDS

If we’re friends in FB, most probably you have already seen the videos of our baby girl. And I’m 99.9% sure, our Mimay made you smile because of her kakirihan.

33 months lang po yan pero mukha ng 33 years old lol :)

Isa lang masasabi ko, ang lakas ng dugo ko! Tingnan nyo naman, akong ako eh =)

I just have to post this para may pambawi ako sa anak ko paglaki nya. Subukan nya paligaw ng maaga, papakita ko mga videos na to sa suitors nya, ewan ko na lang kung ituloy pa nila panliligaw mwahahaha!!

MONDAY NA MONDAY

What a way to start the work week. I was late this morning to our shuttle pick up in Carmona. We stayed kasi in my ate’s house in Sto. Tomas Batangas last night actually hanggang ngayon and we mis-calculated the driving time from Sto. Tomas to Carmona. So ayun, hinabol ni Poy yung shuttle namin and luckily naabutan naman nya in GMA Cavite area.

Okay na sana because nakahabol ako at nakasabay sa shuttle, may problema lang.

Eto oh:

Haha! Semi-formal lang ang peg. Office attire sabay naka violet crocs! Super hiyang hiya ako sa shuttle bus namin kanina grabe. Feeling ko nakatingin sila lahat sa paa ko, jahe!

Sa sobrang pagmamadali ko kasi, I forgot to change to my office shoes. Buti na lang, we are required in our office to change from street shoes to an anti-static shoes like this.

Lesson learned talaga.

But nevertheless, it was a lovely and beautiful Monday for me, hope for all of u too!=)

WORKING MOM AGAIN

But this time, not in Dubai anymore :) Yes dear readers, this is one of the blessings I was talking about in my previous posts months back. Regarding the blessing for husband, I am not allowed to disclose it for now. Hmp bawal pa daw muna kasi. But what’s good is that Poy’s here with us in Pinas as well. Complete happy Aguilar family once again, but this time, sa Pinas na. No more visa issues, no more yaya dilemma, no more weather problem, etc.

                                   

Going back to my kwento, I am very happy to inform all of you guys that I am once again part of the Philippine labor force. Helllooo bonggang tax!

June last year, I sent my CV to some of my friends in Pinas just incase they know vacancies fitted for me. As you know very well that time, we were having some issues on my mom’s residence visa. Very impractical kasi if she’ll stay lang for 3 months then balik to Pinas and back to Dubai again. So one of my resort is to look for a job in Pinas which can sustain and support our financial needs at the same time. September came and my friend/ kumare informed me that they are in need of a Senior Buyer. After some days, the HR sent me an invitation for a Skype interview. Weeks after, another skype interview was scheduled with the Purchasing Director and plant VP and the rest is history =)

I am now officially part of the Purchasing Team of an American semicon company in Cavite. God is really good and once again proved to our family that His promises are true. Because nothing is impossible in prayers and that everything has a reason. Kaya pala may issue sa visa ng mommy ko in Dubai it's because God has better plans for us.

Why did I share all these? It is because I want all of you to know that eventhough at times God answers our prayers in a different way, He has a very good reason for it. Just like what I always write here, God’s plans are always better than ours.

I am so excited with my new job. Aside from the very competitive package that they offered to me, ang bongga ng working area ko! I so love it! I have a separate cubicle kasi with spacious tables. Take note, tables with S hehe. Ang sarap mag work because I feel so relax and peaceful and I can concentrate well, wala ko makausap eh haha! Other staffs are outside so I really need to exert effort para lang may makausap. Aside pa from my comfortable cube, what’s even more bongga are my new officemates. They’re all nice and very welcoming! They’re all very mabait to me =)

This is me with my baby before I go to work at around 7am in the morning:

I can say that I am on the happiest state of my life right now. I have a very loving husband, biba and pretty daughter, supportive family and a promising career. I just pray that God will keep us humble at all times. I want to thank the Lord for everything coz I know that I am truly nothing without Him.

WELCOME NANI, WELCOME 2012!

I honestly don’t know how to start my comeback and first blog post for 2012. Parang ang hirap to collate all my thoughts and sangkatutak na stories in a single entry. But you know guys, for the past 2 months that I wasn’t able to blog and write, I felt so incomplete. Alam mo yung feeling na lumabas ka ng bahay na walang panty?! Ganun! Kulang talaga ang buhay without me sharing my everyday life with all of you. Belated Happy 2012! Na-miss ko kayo sobra. I hope na-miss nyo din ako.

Sobra ko kasi ninamnam ang aking vacation. Holidays pa kaya double ang happiness because I was able to spend it with my family dahil most of the time wala din silang pasok last December. Super bonding din kami ng aking Mimay, 24/7 kami together, loveeet! So please forgive me kung zero post talaga ako ha? Pero aside from that, our internet connection should be blamed. Yun talaga yung main culprit! Pano naman ako gaganahan mag blog ng wala naman kmi internet?!

But now that I’m back to being a working mommy, I promise to blog again! Yey! Watch out for my daily dose of kwento starting today. I will try my very best to squeeze in atleast 1 post every day. Since I cannot open blogger.com in office, I will type away my thoughts in a word document and just transfer it in blogger when I got home. Oh db resourceful? =)

For the meantime, I will leave you some of our latest family photos and watch me grow bigger and bigger! Kaloka ang holidays, hindi ko na ma-zipper mga pants ko!

See you guys in a bit! I miss you all!!!

Mwaah mwaah tsup tsup! ;p

AFTER TWO WEEKS IN PINAS

Hello hello hello guys! Just like what I have posted days ago, opo buhay pa ako. Everything was just too overwhelming since I arrived here in Pinas hence my lack of posts. I couldn’t find time to blog, hectic ang schedule ng lola nyo and also sobrang ninanamnam ko pa every moment with my family. I couldn’t find the perfect words to describe the happiness.

I still find it hard to sleep at night though.  I still can’t believe until now that we’re really here in our ‘own room’ and with me in our ‘own bed’ are the two of the most important people in my life. I couldn’t wish for anything more.

Two weekends ago, we stayed with my in laws and Mimay we’re able to play outside the house with other kids. Ang saya kamo ng anak namin. This is the normal life that we want for her and I am overjoyed seeing my daughter happy with all her new experiences.

Almost every night for the past 2 weeks, lagi kami rumarampa kung saan saan. Sobrang hectic ng schedule! Gala dito, gala doon, kain dito, kain doon. And the result? Eto pagod haha! At higit sa lahat, hindi na kasya mga damit ko. Tuwing lumalabas kami, muka na akong suman sa mga blouse ko. The other day sa mall, I bumped with my ex-Nissan colleague.

Yvet: Huy Nani, kamusta? Welcome back! Bakit parang aahmm hhmm..

Nani: Taba ko? Diretsuhin mo na teh!

Yan lang ang sad part talaga. Sa sobrang happiness ko, I forgot to watch what I’m eating. I’m 61 kls already! Did you know that I was 64 kls only when I gave birth to Mimay? See?? I’m just 3 kls away from that eh hindi naman ako buntis! Anubayun?! Later, I’m buying that diet juice that my churchmate recommended to me. I hope it will work. Nakakawala daw ng appetite yun eh. Wish me luck!

YES I'M STILL ALIVE!

Just wanna update you guys that I’m still alive. I know it’s been more than a week since the last time I posted an entry here. Pagbigyan nyo na ko ha? I’m just enjoying every minute with my family now especially with my Mimay. I haven’t started with my new work yet which is good thing because I have ample time to sleep, play with Mimay, go to mall, sleep late, watch TV. Ang sarap ng buhay ko ngayon at dahil jan, ang taba ko na naman! Hay.

For everyone sending messages to me, thanks a lot for your sweetness. Buhay pa ako haha! Hubby and I are super happy and blessed. God is so good for keeping all His promises to our family. Don’t worry, I’ll make time to finally be back in blogging. Miss ko na din kayo eh!

Have a happy Friday everyone!
