new year’s resolutions

To some making a new year’s resolutions in the middle of january may be late but I believe that it is never too late to change, is it?

Last year, new year’s resolutions was more than a page but this year I’ll try to make it short and achievable.
 

• Zero tardiness
• Zero Absences
• Attend Sunday Masses (complete)
• Pray every waking hours of the day; thanksgiving, forgiveness and blessings.
• Save up: bank, coin bank, and expenses.
• Strive to look my best daily.
• Eat lots of food, drink lots of water and never miss taking Vitamin C.

Here’s hoping that your own resolutions will be followed.

Happy New Year, 2006!

traditional media noche

How do you usually spend your New Year’s Eve?

More or less we celebrate it the same way, I guess!

But let me just share you how my family spends it.

The whole day of december 31st is devoted to the preparation of the "Media Noche". This year we prepared a variety of dishes. Well, actually, every New Year we prepare lots of food on our table so the whole year through will be abundant of food to eat. And only tantamount during Christmas.

This New Year we prepared Crispy Pata, the traditional Hamon de Bola, my favorite Embotido, Macaroni in Italian Sauce garnished with mushroom and tuna flakes, Maja, the delectable Mango Float, the colorful Broken Cathedral, Crabstick Salad, fried Crabstick, Hotdog Cocktail with marshmallows and cheese and Cooked Ham Cocktail with pineapple tidbits and cheese, French Fries in mayo dip. Plus, candies and chocolates….. you know M&Ms, Kisses, etc. Oh, mama Linda also gave us Ube Haleya and Biko.

10 minutes before the 12 midnight we start preparing ourselves and our dinner table. We put all the food on the dinner table, we wear red shirts and rounded accessories, blew party trumpets, displayed some fireworks and made a whole lot of nice.

After that, we dined and had innumerable confabulation. Some are sensical ones others are plain inane conversations. And that’s how we celebrate the New Year’s Eve.

text advisory

To all forwarders of text messages there especially nasty messages beware of the people you’re sending with or you’ll be cursed forever.

Smart subscribers are receiving free double SMS everytime we load e-load, so P30 worth of e-load comes with 30 free SMS.

Since I can only use this free text messages for text messages sent for smart then I forwarded some naughty messages to my friends in my smart contact group. Unluckily, one of the numbers there belongs to my friend’s mom so this is what I get…

        1st text: I don’t like you as my daughter’s friend !

        2nd text: And stop using my fone !

So the next time you send an SMS be extremely careful or you’ll be like me. Aiyt?

on bells, rings, flowers and I DOs

It’s been a year and a half since I got acquainted with Sherle. I have been her romantic tale gone awry listener of her ex-bf and she’s a lawfully wedded wife to a guy whom she once answered i love you more than a year ago.

I almost late for the pictorial and absolutely late for the ceremony. I brought Cathy to keep me company. The ceremony was held in Guadalupe Church and the reception is just within the vicinity of the church compound.

What feeling could there be being married?

happy anniverstruggle

A Special Toast For Our First Anniverstruggle !
……………….
I guess that’s the best greetings I can give to my batch out of an entire 365 days here in Western WATS.  

Struggling to wake up as early as 1:00 am, struggling to open friendster daily, struggling not to dial, struggling to get a day-off, struggling for a half-day option, struggling to be absent, struggling for a break, and a whole lot of struggle. Can you imagine how much struggle we intrepidly face and invest in this job??

Seriously now, we started 25 in numbers at the beginning of the game and now we’re 17 survivors left for the 1 million dollars. Anton, my carpool, is now practicing his profession as an engineer in Mactan Airport, Jade has left for Dubai? (I think) with her fiance, Mylene has found another job she’s happier, daddy Orland is now in Manila, Ross is in FairChild also practicing her profession as an engineer, Mona is now training to become a pilot, and the mightiest of them all is my partner in crime Joje now currently nursing rude, mean and a few nice whites and blacks in Chicago, Illinois, beat that!!
Now, we people left are dissipated to different departments. Seven are still in wire b2c, but two of them are NOP b2c trainees, six of us are already NOP b2c 

and that counts me in, and four are in b2b.

Several significant, unexpected as well as unlikely occurences and wondrous things took event. We have there the second babies of Maan and Mich who just by the way gave to a healthy baby boy, the carpool ado’s, mommy Rose becoming a supervisor, JC finding romance inside our workplace, Jenny finding romance with Dolly’s nephew and her mirthless miscarriage, and the feuds amongst us especially Joje and Jane’s swimmingly they came to terms with it before Joje left for Chicago. 
Of all the things that transpired I especially cherish those days when we go gimmicking in The Village, dining in AA’s BBQ, taking the half-day options and either going to a beach or nibling in Jollibee, 

our mallings and most of all the friendship formed that which made our batch extra-amazing.

It has really been a year, Gosh!!!
