Camera Extender

I love taking pictures of special events and gatherings using my digital camera. You will notice on most of my blog about events in my life, there is always a picture attached. Since it doesn't require film, unlike old camera before, I would just keep on clicking and clicking. Thanks to technology for this wonderful gadget.

While browsing I saw this camera extender. This is very useful when no one is around to take your picture. This camera extender can hold your camera up to 3 feet and weights only 5oz. I hope someone will give me this as a gift for this holiday season, lol.

Tagaytay Picnic Grove

On December 24 I came from work from my 12 midnight shift. I did not sleep in the afternoon because I was planning to sleep after the noche buena. Well, I was too tired and I can no longer stop my eyes from closing. So there you go I just sleep on Christmas eve, hehehe.

The next day December 25, our family decided to go to Tagaytay. We went to picnic grove to spend the holiday and relax. To my surprise there are so many people, it looks like I was in a midnight madness sale in the mall. The parking was so crowded specially the park. It took a while for us to be able to get a picnic table. We just stay on our table and did not mind strolling inside the park. We are sitting near the zipline so we can hear some of the people yelling while zipping through the line, it looks like they are flying.

Ear Piercing

Rhaine Danielle is already 5months old. We are planning for her baptismal maybe next week so I decided to have her ear pierced before the event so that she will look more pretty (smile). I accompanied my mother in law yesterday at SM Southmall to bring the kids David, Anne & RA to attend a costume Christmas party at my sister in law's school at Las Pinas.

After eating at Chowking, Rowena (my sister in law) called me and told them to go to Jollibee at Casimiro to meet them. I assisted them where to go to ride a jeep going to Zapote to go there. Me and Danielle are left at SM so I stroll around to look for a jewelry store.

I was planning to get a small round gold earring but all of the jewelry store that I visited told me they don't do ear piercing. At last the last store that I visited told me to go to Unisilver, a store in front of them. They do ear piercing at no extra charge. Of course they don't have gold earrings. I decided to pick then a small star shaped earing with a white stone on the middle. It has a tag of P110 which I thought is very affordable but when I'm about to pay for it the sales lady told me it is P110 each which means a pair cost P220, hehehe, ok. Still a good price but I find their display deceiving.

I mixed Danielle's milk first before asking the lady to pierce her ears. They put a mark on her using a pen before using a gun. I did not look at it because I would feel the pain more for my baby. She started to cry before the lady shot the gun. Maybe because she saw her bottle of milk. After a painful shot I give her milk and she started to calm down. There is no blood but I know it is painful for my little girl. Her eyes are very red after the piercing. I don't have a picture of her yet with earrings. Once I do I will post it here.





Endaya Christmas Party

One of our yearly family gathering is having a Christmas party with my relatives. Usually we celebrate it with my Tito's and Tita's along with their kids and other relatives on my mom side. Before, this is held at my Tito Vic's house at Blue Ridge but now it is being held at his private resort (Endaya Cove) in Batangas.

As usual there are lots of foods and gifts for kids and adults. My husband and my little boy (David) are planning to swim but then Robin got sprain so it is only David who enjoyed the pool. Although Joshua (David's cousin) has an on and off fever and a very dry cough he was still allowed to join David in the pool (for a short of period of time) since he is crying and very insisted to swim.

Some of the foods that I remember are menudo, dinuguan, fried chicken, chicken adobo, lechon baboy, BBQ, embutido, pansit and the fried pork with egg. After our lunch the program started. Every child and adult and asked to register. The first part of the program is giving gifts to children. There are lots of toys displayed. They will pick a name and it is up to you to choose which toy you wanted. The earlier your name be called the better, since there are still lot of toys to choose from. My little David was able to get a remote controlled car while my baby Danielle got a little teddy bear. For the adults it is better that your name be called last. It is because they are giving money from ranging from P300 going up to P1000. My husband and I are called when it was still on P300 bucks. Every one are hoping that their name not be called yet. A lot of them shouted when they give out the last P750 since the remaining people definitely will receive P1000 cold cash.

After the give away is a dance contest for kids to the tune of Nobody. The price is P1000 for the winner, P500 for the 2nd and P200 consolation. It is followed by singing contest which I believed also has a price of 1k.  While the program is running some are enjoying the cold water of the swimming pool. It is funny to see some of them coming out of the pool running when there names are called during the raffle. My Tito also give additional money to his siblings. My mom give his grandchildren P500 each after getting the money from my Tito. So David and Danielle got extra 500 bucks aside from their toys.

Bad for me, I had my camera with me but I was not able to take pictures during the event, hehehe. Anyways l I got a shot of the beautiful view of Taal while waiting for the program to start. I'll post it later when I got home. I haven't downloaded it yet from my camera.









Forgetting Names

Haayyss.... I am not really good in remembering names. I guess my college friends Ime, Pinky and Annete would agree to this. Every time we have a chat usually I can't remember the names of our college friends. I can picture their faces in my mind but really can't remember their names.

Most of the time I can't remember the name of my high school and college friends. Also the names of my previous officemates. I thought this is normal since they are somewhat old acquaintances. But then I got bothered when I was uploading our Christmas Party pictures in facebook. I was about to tag the pics but then I can't recall some of their name. What I did is I scan over the list starting from letter A then when I read their name that is the time that I remember it. I am only 28 and this party was held only last December 12 and most of all these are my current officemates. I have a grand mother who has an alzheimer and I am afraid that I might inherit it. I thought this disease are for old people and at my age I should not get symptoms yet. Is this something bad? Do I need to consult a physician? Or is this just a result of getting cesarean twice.

What time is it?

We had a shuttle service that pick us up every night going to work. Most of the time  I arrived earlier than the shuttle so I would just stand by or eat while waiting. This is my routine for more than a year now.

Last night something memorable happened. I was sitting at front of SM while waiting for the shuttle. I decided to write a draft for my blog which is about my quaker oat diet. While writing, an old man, looks like at his late 50's, approached me. He asked "What time is it?" (Anong oras na?) I answered 10pm. Then he has a follow up question, "If you don't mind do you already have a boyfriend?" ( Ok lng ba itanong kung my bf ka na?).

Wow! I don't know if it is a compliment that I would consider but I find it irritating. His question is like a big bang on my ears. He looks old, I don't see any trace that he was handsome when he was young and he doesn't look like a rich guy (LoL). Anyway, even if he is good looking, who cares? Care bears don't care! I tried to control my temper and still try to show respect. What I did is I stared back on my little notebook and answered him with a loud firm voice "Don't ask me that." (Wag mo na akong tanungin). It was really a big relief when he turn his back and go away.

PAIN

PAIN

Some are avoiding it
Some don't want to feel it
Some try to heal it
Some try to recover from it

Some are afraid of it
Some don't tolerate it
Some keeps away from it
Some ignores it

For me it is a sign
A sign that I still care for you
A sign that I love you
A sign that I treasure you

As long as I can feel it
Whenever you do something wrong
I know I have this love for you
So please don't go.

Lose Weight

I've been planning for this for a long time now, I mean for many years now since I give birth. Bad for me ,I gain more when I give birth to my second child. I now have more bulges, ouch! I have a lot of clothes that I can no longer wear that I am still keeping, hoping for a miracle to happen. Do you know how frustrating  it is to find a blouse or pants that you wanted but unable to buy it because it doesn't fits you?

I don't have time to exercise or rather I would say I don't want to spare time doing it. I would rather play online games for hours rather than exercising. I guess the real problem is me. I have the want to lose weight but doesn't have the will to do it. Haaaysss...

Anyways, yesterday I bought a pack of quaker oats. I am planning to eat that instead of rice. I am not sure if it would help, but that is what I usually hear. I will try but I will not promise. (lol). I will only eat  that at home because outside I will not be able to control it, wahehehe.


Steve Job, Commencement Address

It is avail and I was reading one of my friend's blog. One of her customer over the phone lead her to read and share about Steve commencement address. It is really an inspirational one and I wanted to share it too.

This is the text of the Commencement address by Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005.

I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.
The first story is about connecting the dots.
I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?
It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.
And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.
It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:
Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.
None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.
Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
My second story is about love and loss.
I was lucky — I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation — the Macintosh — a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.
I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me — I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.
I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.
During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I returned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.
I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.
My third story is about death.
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.
I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.
This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of others' opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.
Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.
Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
Thank you all very much.

The New Me

The New Me

I love you
But not like before
I love you
Now I don't know how much more

You've shorten my temper
With what your are doing
My patience is no longer there
I'm now changed in to a new thing

I love you
Hope you can still feel it
I love you
Hope I can still hold on to it

I now talk a lot
I no longer stay calm
What have you done
You changed me in to a new someone

I don't like this new me
But I can't help it, baby
I don't like this new me
But I can no longer control myself, honey

It hurts me to see us like this
It hurts me & I hope you can notice
It is like a pain that I can't resist
It is something that I don't want to persist

This is the new me
Molded by your action
This is the new me
Molded by your caption

But there is still one thing
That I can say that haven't change
That is my willingness to stay
Praying that everything will not go astray

Preparation

I don't know what to do with my hair for our Christmas Party so I decided to bring it to a parlor near our house. After my shift I went straight there to have my hair set. I've mention before that my hair has a life of its own (lol), I mean uncontrollable. It is so thick, dry and I would say unhealthy. I had my hair colored last year that is why half of it now is black and half is brown. Anyways, for my outfit I bought a floral dress and I will pair it with my white clog sandals. For my bag I borrow one from my mom and for my accessories I will wear a black earing and a white plastic bracelet.

Hot Tempered

Recently, I noticed that I am having problem controlling my temper when it comes to guiding my kid. I get easily mad and sometimes I would hurt him through spanking. I know it is normal for a kid to be so "makulit." Every time this happen I have this guilt within me, thinking why am I doing this to him. I know he is not only hurting physically but emotionally as well.

Being hot tempered, is it contagious? I am trying to analyze if it is just me or am I being affected by my husband's temper. He is the one who often gets mad at David. Most of the time I would tell him not to do it with David. It hurts me too when I see him pleading to stop the painful hit and the shouting. It  melts my heart, really. I don't know if I am doing it just to let my husband see what he is doing.

I am sorry David. Mom will try to change this. I am not like this before. I know I can discipline you better without the shouting. I love you son!

Manicure

I am really excited for our Christmas Party tomorrow. In preparation, I decided to clean my nails and put light brown 'cutics' (nail polish). I guess it is going to be a hippie fun night since our theme is "Retro." I bought a floral dress colored brown and red and I will pair it with my white clog shoes. Tomorrow morning after my shift (9am) I will go straight to the parlor near our home to have my hair do, hehehe.

One more thing that excites me is the team competition. There will be 10 teams who will compete and show off their talents. I hope our team will be chosen as one of the best three so that we have some fund that we can use on our team christmas party the following week.

I am excited to see everyone on their 60's or 70's look. It is like going back to the past while having fun. I already bought the gift for my monito yesterday. I hope the person who got my name in the exchange gift is present so that I will not go home empty handed, lol! I don't have any luck in raffle but I hope tomorrow night my name will be pick even just for the consolation (hehehe).


Let's have some party!!!

Confusion

Oh no! What will I do? Which will I choose? This coming December 20th will be two important gatherings and I need to decided which one to go. First it will be a Family Christmas Party. This is a gathering on my mom side that we do every year. Some what like a little reunion. And the other one is a wedding of a college friend. I was trying to convince to my self to attend the wedding instead since it is a one time event and I can still attend our family gathering next Christmas. But then the thought of being absent in our family gathering is somewhat bothering me. I still have one week to decide. How I wish I can be in two places at one time.

New Moon

I forgot to post the pictures that we had when we watched the movie New Moon. This was taken at SM South Mall. Thanks to Ime and Annette for dropping by even if they don't have sleep yet. Til' next time guys! (Sana ksama na c Pinkydoo).

Just like what Anet said I am a late bloomer, hehehe. Everyone are going gaga over Twilight Saga and here I am doesn't know anything. Actually until now I haven't finished book 1. I just read half of it and got a short story telling from Anet. The author of the book, Stephanie , really have a good imagination. I wonder where she gets it. I read online that she started to write the book when she had a dream about a girl and a vampire. (To Anet, di ba my facebook kna? Andun po mga pics natin).

The SGOS license has Expired

I freak out yesterday because I was unable to open some websites like google and yahoo. It is weird because other sites or working like Facebook. Every time I tried to access a site mostly I will get his error


Access Denied (license_expired)

At first I thought my best friend's blog was blocked because that was the first site that I opened that I got the error. But then when I started to open other sites I started to get the same error. I try it on both mozilla and google chrome browser and still no go. I tried it on IE and I cannot open other sites too. I tried to ping google and it is working fine. 

Before this problem my husband install a tool bar that caused pop ups on our mozilla browser. I panic and thought this might be a virus that is starting to ruin our internet. I started to run different cleaner like super antispyware, avg scanner, dial-a-fix, combo fix. smitfraudfix etc. I got really sleepy after running those scans that I was not able to try to browse again. The last thing that I tried was to play DOTA through GG client in which I was getting server is offline. Later I will check our internet and hoping it is already ok. I am not sure though if it is a virus or what. I've read online that some were able to fix it by just turning their modem and router off.

Well, I am very excited for different events and celebration in line waiting for me this December and January. Three Christmas Parties are waiting ahead of me. This coming Saturday will be our Christmas Party at work, the next Saturday will be our Team Christmas party then the following day is our Family Christmas Party. Of course after these parties is the celebration of Christmas and I hope my baby christening after. It is going to be a busy December.

Followed by New Year then my friend birthday. Two reunions are waiting for me this January. Our Clan reunion then my first team at Dell are also planning for a reunion. I am getting my camera ready to take shots and keep memories of those said events.

Hello

Haler! I'm back... I've been too lazy this past few days. I don't have enough time for anything including blogging. I don't know why. Maybe because I am always sleepy hehehe. I think I need to unwind or something. I guess not going to church for the past few months is one of the reason. I cannot concentrate on anything.. haaysss. I hope I would be able to wake up and refresh my mind and be able to do worthwhile things. I want to end this year with happy memories and start 2010 with more dreams.
