Wedding Stuff. Christmas. Books. Random

Last Sunday, me and Dwi went to Sophia to choose our wedding photos.

                                                             
                                                                   Sample Photo

Originally we only have a 55 photos to choose as that is part of our package. we ended up choosing 150 photos from thousands of it. We paid extra charge for the additional 100 photos.

Choosing a wedding pictures are not easy, we spent almost 3 hours to look, choose and discuss. its a bit boring but at the same time seeing all of these makes us so happy.

The 150 photos that we selected will be given to us by next year. we also had 2 albums, 2 mini albums, signature album, post cards, FRAMEEEEESSSS.

************************************

Today, we officially booked our Bridal Suite, though i felt so rush because we both felt that there are quite a lot of things that haven't settled and we only have 3 months left. Really, preparing for wedding is so stressful. I haven't re-count our guest list and i really feel so stressed up.

************************************

Few more days and it's Christmas Day! Nowadays, i don't feel so excited for it. I'm starting to get used to it that my Christmas is just another holiday. Though i want it to be special just like before how we celebrate it in Philippines, but since i stayed here in Singapore, Christmas is a depressing day for me.

Besides, i'll be working on Christmas Eve and Day. So SAAAAAAD.

************************************

I am thinking to stop working as i find my house in a terrible condition. seems like nobody has a time to take care of it. Everybody is so busy at work. and i really feel so sad on how messy my home is.

************************************

I already bought a Christmas gift for Dwi's Nieces and Nephews which is my new Nieces and Nephew. Though Dwi is not keen to buy gifts, I still bought with my own money *Thanks to my tips!* just hoping that they like it so much. Besides, Christmas is for kids.

*************************************
I managed to finish the Fifty Shades Trilogy in almost a month. Its nice at first but i find the love scene so redundant and i starting to get bored. Anyway, Love scene are all the same. Maybe i should try to write a book and try my luck to stardom. HAHAHA.

*************************************

This is so random, i dont know what to blog about, i'm still pissed off with my work but i am trying to embrace the tips. though money is not everything, i am just trying to convince my self to stay a bit longer after all the events done. But i am still wishing and hoping that i will find a new job soon.

Wounded.Shattered.Broken.

Just a very quick blog before i take some nap. it's quite random as my heart is speaking for it.

Yes indeed, my title says the whole summary of my emotions trying to understand all the fuck up.

A situation wherein testing yourself which is more important to you, FRIENDSHIP or DREAMS (career, perhaps?)

Well, i joined back to the place where everything started, where in i can build myself up again, pick up the shattered pieces of me and follow my dreams. i choose that exact place for i thought being with "him" will help me to recover from some piece of sorrow inside my body running inside of my veins trapped inside my brain. I thought he is going to be the bridge for me to be ME AGAIN.

Well, I am working on a position of i am not supposed to be. told me to wait, promises me a lot of shit. "if he goes out you in blah blah blah" should i blame him? or should i blame my self?  am i selfish or he's the one having some issue?.

I loved him and i love him as a brother, as a best friend. he used to give me strength when everything in my life is so fucked up, but why i felt he's giving me some weakness this past few months? 

As he told me the bitter truth, i felt my dreams shattered and worst is my heart broke when he told me i can even go to other place who will "may" offer me the things that he cannot offer. He says "please" "i need you" "don't go"..Oh his magic still working on me. I can't go as i felt i owe some part of my life to him, seriously, if i haven't met him i don't think so i already planned my life and knows my goals and dreams. he gave direction during the time i am confused.

He dream together with me about my future, we both worked hard and i fucked up. i took a quite different road, a road that is not part of our map. so, i thought i broke his hard when i suddenly stop pursuing my goals. he tried to bring me back in track, tried to save me (that's how i look into it) but i reject. I cause so much hurt to him, to everyone and to myself. 

And now i am back, and i felt i owe him a lot. i can't go because i know i do that against his decision, we will surely waved goodbye to everything. It's a career versus friendship. I value our friendship so much that it hurts so much. I am just hoping he will try to make me understand more what are his plans. 

As i will try my best to understand and try to work on it. 

A week of no distraction

Mabuhay Pilipinas!

The title "A week of no distraction" is from my hubby's mouth. HAHA. keep on thinking what should i title this blog entry of mine and suddenly i remembered what he said. NO DISTRACTION. I guess he means, no stressful life just like in SG.

Yap, We went to Philippines for a week (or 6 days) to do our wedding preparations in one shot,Seriously! we didn't have a holiday wherein for 6 weeks we just relaxed and sleep for 6 straight days. we did our pre-cana, interview with the priest, photoshoot (for the 3rd time) and a lot more.

So, we arrived Saturday early morning, 6 am to be exact. we had a very comfortable flight as we both seat in front row (the one with extra leg room and extra charge!) Hahaha. Though, it's a comfortable place i didn't managed to get a sleep nor nap as i keep on reading the Fifty Shades of Grey! (i bought 3 books of it from the airport). So when we arrived, we waited for tatay to fetch us and then we went straight to the church to meet Jason and to attend the Pre-Cana and the interview with the priest.

stolen shot ; while filling up the formssss

We are both light headed eventhough Dwi managed to slept. I seriously felt that i am floating in the air and i got easily pissed of, (the inner bitch of me) After we filled up all the forms that we needed Jason left us, we went inside the Pre-Cana which is Dwi and I didn't find it interesting as we already went through the heaven and hell of a married life and in addition in to that, Dwi doesn't understand the whole thing.

The room is full house, probably a 60 pairs. Dwi started to suffocate but still managed to end the 3 hours pre-cana. It's quite funny as most of them are all discussing of their wedding preparation, watching and viewing some past wedding events while me and Dwi, oh we are just playing plants versus zombie. Hahaha. It's not that we are disrespectful it's just our mindset is we are alreay married for almost 2 years.

So, after we finished the pre-cana we went for interview. We keep on talking in English and they keep on staring at us. When we suddenly felt so lost for the next procedure the teacher who did the seminar helped us. when we told her that we came from singapore and we just arrived on that same day she helped us to make the process faster. she brought us to another priest who's named is same with my Father. The Priest interviewing a lot of couple at the same time but we, we had our "private" interview. The Priest itself is an old man but very cool, he is actually in charge for the Father Blanco's Garden, the another reception area that they are already closed due to noise. When they found out that i came from a Catholic Church (Holy Child and Sta.Rosa) and found out that i knew "some" of the important people and i told them that i am an active before i left the Philippines. They said they will find ways that we can use the Father Blanco's Garden. Thank you Lord!

So, Tita Ofel (the teacher) and I exchanged number so she can update me with the Father Blanco's Garden. after that we took a cab home, we are both exhausted and tired that we just wanted to sleep. When we reached home, Aisle is so happy and excited, Dwi who is sleepy went to shower and sleep while me no matter how tired i am  i still find time to play with Aisle even for a short time.

The whole day is tiring but i am looking forward for tomorrow because it's my BIRTHDAY! HAHA! i don't know but i am so excited for it, wondering who are the people who will still remember my birthday! though, compare to the greetings i had last year, this year is quite number of people forgot it. even 2 people from my entourage forgot it i guess so because they never message me nor greeted me or what. anyway, i am that surprise as we starting to lose contacts to each other due to busy scheds i guess?

Anyway, Tintin, Aa and Didi went to our house just before 12 midnight. they bought a big size of Burgers. 

There's no cake ; only Burgers!

They waited until 12 midnight before they go back home. HAHA and they told me that is their surprise for me. to greet me personally. I am seriously touch by their actions! Seriously!

Then the following day, which is my birthday is my most awaited day! because i'm gonna see an old friend of ours that long time been MIA. hehehe. i am quite worried that last minute he's not gonna showed up but he did! He even bought me a doughnuts! I am super happy to see his face. (i think the last time i saw him is during Juday's wedding) hahaha. the Ekk-jac got reunion during my birthday!

November 18 2012

L-R : Alejarth "Boking" Bonifacio, Kenneth Kelvin "Kei" Palor, Kristel Ann "Babs" Diamzon, Emmanuel "Lots" Fesarit and Peter Jeffrey "Jeff" Maloles

(except mine, emman just took my photo from somewhere but still the same year)

L-R : Eman, Kristel, Kei, Jeff, Boking and Callens

SEE THE FXXXXKING DIFFERENCE?!!!

*************************

Though, callens didn't managed to join us in our exclusive karaoke / birthday concert of mine. he still went to our house just before midnight. anyway i am so glad to see Boking as a fat guy. hahahaha! he is so chubby and looks like a teddy bear.

So, after the Karaoke / Concert Birthday party of mine, we went back home to continue "their" drinking session. (which is Boking didn't manged to join us and callens join us). "they" drunk a left over absolute vodka that i bought last February. Jeff, spent more time with us and i am happy that He and Dwi find a common thing about them, the world of "SCIENCE" Hahaha. wherein most of us started to feel out of place as we can't relate. HAHAHAHA. i even asked Emman how come i don't know what are they talking about but i never skip any "science" class. It's a lousy joke, i know

Here's some of our photos that concert night!

 With Jeff and Eman and my pacute posing

Anyway, before i end talking about how i celebrated my birthday, here's a picture of Kei, who is the only person who got knocked out. too bad didn't managed to take a photo of him while callens doodling on his face.

KNOCK OUT!!!

So after my "day" we had a meeting with Jason for ocular visit of our hotels. well, originally we supposed to meet up around 9 in the morning but since they had fun last night, Dwi can't managed to woke up 8 am as we all sleep around 4 in the morning. So, we just had a quick look on how is the actual look of the hotels. we had chosen 2 hotels, one is for the Guy's entourage and Friends from Singapore. It's a Fantastic hotel as the ambiance is very SPANISH time, the place is so serene. while the other hotel for my ladies entourage, it's more modern and with class, a definition of a modern Maria Clara. (which Dwi envied). 

Here's a photo of our ocular visit at the Bayleaf's Hotel, inside the Bridal Suite. 

photo taken by Jason Eugenio

After this very short errand, We, together our Flower girl, Aisle. went to SM Manila to had our dinner and buy some stuff. we leave aisle to somekind of a playground which she enjoyed a lot. 

We didn't stayed up so late because we have a photoshoot for the following day.

******************************

And yaaaap! you heard it right, another photoshoot. FOR THE THIRD TIME!!!!

Our call time is early in the morning, meeting place is San Agustin Church. we supposed to go to 5 places but in the end we settles in one. 

From the original motif, "Mamang Sorbetero" we changed to something more traditional and related to my Race, A filipino Spanish era. Finally, Dwi had a chance to wear a Traditional Filipino Guy's Clothe. BARONG. but due to modern days, now the Barong have a variety of colors. HAHAHA

Of course if Dwi's wearing a BARONG, i am wearing a FILIPINIANA, a Female's Traditional Clothe. which is quite hard to raise both of my hands. 

this is me while preparing for the shoot.

A sleepy Dwi and Tired Me. 

And here are some raw photo's on that day.

 This was taken by Rox Puno

This was taken by Mico Isidro

I KNOW RIGHT?! WE HAVE A DAMN GREAT PHOTOGRAPHERS!!!

*******************

Same Day: 

     So After we had our photoshoot we had BAGNET for lunch. yummmy! I really have this bad habit of eating a LOOOOT after the shoot. HAHA. That night we visited Rox at Bluewave Macapagal for his performance! He is cool and funny, very entertaining. walang halong bola. They drunk and i had a HALO-HALO from different store, as the place where we had our drink is not serving Halo-Halo eventhough it's in their menu. I hate their menu as it made me crave for HALO HALO.

So ayun na nga, i had Halo-Halo and I seriously enjoyed it. I even "simut-sarap" the whole cup.

Next Day:

     Today is the last day of our errands. Today is the most important thing, FOOD TASTING. I am so excited to eat. i want to enjoyed it. Kaya lang, I had a very upset stomach. for some reason my stomach is in severe pain. I want to throw up and I even shit a lot. Jason, thought I am going to faint as i am already pale. I told them we will still continue the food tasting though i didn't enjoyed much as i am feeling so sick. 

I told Dwi to tried the food and i will just wait for them to finish, as i felt i cannot take any food anymore. Good thing the staff of CVJ is very nice, they gave me a medicine. as much as possible i don't want to eat but i can't resist my self specially when Dwi said "MASARAP" Seriously! if Dwi says the food is DELICIOUS it's really DELICIOUS. So i was tempted to tried the food even just a bit, and it's true! The food is so delicious and my "a bit" became all of it. i tried all of it. from soup to dessert. Seriously the food tasting is from SOUP up to DESSERT plus our Pasta Bar, not only one but both of it!

************************************

The Following day, my stomach is still in severe pain. i took so much medicine already but still the same. All my plans for that day suddenly cancelled. Instead, we went to Hospital for a check-up. we waited for my doctor who's that time is in the OR. He gave me a medicine that i immediately took, the whole day i just lay down, trapped inside the house. can't go anywhere until i'm starting to have a flu. OH MY GASSSSH! Seriously! I got sick! No Dinner date with Family and other friends before i leave! and it all started with one thing, HALO HALO!

****************************************

Since i am starting to get lazy and tired and bored with my story, i just want to leave a final wordssssss before i shut down my computer.

1) I don't know who to congratulate but i want to say that our AIRPORT (Terminal 1) is BETTER THAN BEFORE. I don't travel every month but i travel atleast twice a year and i saw "some" of the improvements of our airport. specially the TOILET! now, i can use the toilet HAPPILY. hope you guys continue the good job by improving and letting go the BAD HABITS!

2) TRAFFIC STILL SUCKS! 

3) The Halo-Halo destroyed my vacation. It's either i am not gonna eat Halo-Halo forever or i am not going to eat at the place where i bought it. I think i'll do the second one.

4) Overall, though i didn't managed to see all of my remaining friends. I am happy to see Ekk-jac seriously. 

5) It's still more FUN in the PHILIPPINES and there's no place like HOME. 

Random : Blog After ONE MONTH

HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLO!!

Homaygaad! It's been a month since the last time i posted a blog about my life. Damn! So Busy leh!. 

Honestly, I've tried so many times to share my daily or even weekly activities but i just can't, It's not because  i am super lazy or wanted to stop sharing my story to the public it's just that i am too tired, exhausted and too sleepy after work. I'm a working wife again. Seriously, i thought i can blog every off day but i discovered that i can't because i need energy,a full charge of me. So, i waited for this day to share a summary of what happened to me last month.

So, i told ya that i started my job last October 8 2012 (which is my last blog before this) The job is fine, it's good. I met new people, a new friends and a so called new found bestfriend, and his name is Nixon (soon, i will be posted our photo together). He is a Malaysian Indian-Spanish (?) and also a Bartender like me. anyway, right now i am still doing a Floor Staff job as we are kinda short of floor staffs but Don (my mentor and my manager as well) promised me that he will make a decision after i come back from Philippines. 

I know my post is kinda random as i seriously got a lot of stories to share and don't know how to start so i will just type all of these in a way how i talk to a friend that i never met for some time now. Okay, so let's go back to my story about my work. So, aside from Nixon, I also made friends with my co-floor staff namely, Abby, Maria, Clowence and Melina; All of us are Filipina, well Clowence and Melina will be finishing their contract next month and it's kinda sad because most of the time if we have all the same schedules, we all go to work together.  While Abby and Maria's contract will be ending next year. Our supervisor is Dorothy, which is my Senior before (way back 2009, when i'm just started and got kicked out from Orchard) I also met another Manager, his name is Saurabh (not so sure with spelling, though) Another Bartender, Billy and the rest are old face like Lawrence. 

Working as a Floor staff is good as I am able to get a lot of tips, well it still depends on the day. let's say my tips alone made me able to bought an Iphone 5 (yessss! after so many years i finally got an Iphone 5), pay the PUB and Cable and Internet and lastly, bought some foods that i wanted. Then u guess how much is it. :)

well, its tips so it means its not fix it will really depends on how lucky and hard working you are. :) Anyway, lets see how much will have this November.

Another things to share, I finally got an Iphone, i really thought that i will passed this moment again. i've been dreaming of Iphone since from the start but i just keep on thinking that there's more important things, but this time i know that i have "extra" money thanks to my tip and also, i got no time to use my lappy or computer i need to buy a smart phone with line to be able to connect with all the people i needed to talked to. (specially, our coordinator). with the advice of my dear buddy, Toby who is working at M1, I used my Husband account to register my line BUT HEY! It doesn't mean he will pay my BILL, I CAN PAY MY OWN BILL. (just to make my statement clear here!)  well, when i got my Iphone, i really felt so stupid for a moment but i got easily picked up my self, now me and my husband enjoying the phone, he downloaded a Plant Versus Zombie because of the Zen Garden that i guess only Apple products have. (He is using a S2). Battery wise, i am happy with my battery, as long as i charged it fully before i leave the house if not i can always charge in my working place or used our good friend birthday gift to me a battery pack. (I don't know the exact word for it).

Anyway, let's change the topic. yesterday, we finally did our wedding shoot with Singapore team. It's fun but so tiring. I enjoyed it at first (the indoor studio) but when we went outside for the outdoor shoot and wearing a big fluffy wedding gown that seriously caught everybody's attention i was really felt so awkward and embarrassed.  i keep on hearing and seeing people saying "look (the they will point at me)" it is so hard wearing a gown specially when i was to use the ladies, it is so difficult, seriously difficult. anyway at least it's all done, and i will surely post the pictures here once it's already available. 

So, this week i will be only working until Friday and next week will be an UNPAID LEAVE FOR ME, it's kinda bad but i got no choice. we need to go back to Philippines to settle our Philippine Wedding Preparation. It's kinda stressful but i am also happy as i will see Aisle again. Relaxing time after all the stressful events happened to me, anyway MOVING ON. I am so excited to go to Philippines this BER months. and i will try my best to update you about our Philippines Vacay as soon as possible. 

Anyway, I did my Brazilian this month after 3 months. It's more painful than before maybe because i am in the week of having my period anytime soon (i am actually having it now---i know i'm quite disgusting) i also did my nails because of my photoshoot and lastly went for a facial with free massage cost me a few hundred bucks! I am really thankful with my tips!!!!!!. Good thing i did my hairless kitty few days before my period so it will be easier for me now to-----------shit stop this disgusting thing.

Today, the last day of my leave. YESSSS! I am on leave-----------Yes i know i am still on probation, i just joined the company and they know everything about my leaveeeees! HAHAHA. We went to Toys r Us to buy a christmas presence for my nephew and nieces in Philippines. I am only close to my father side kids, so i just managed to bought them. At first my plan is to buy 10 toys but i gave up what to give to the two 12 years old boy within my budget, so we decided to give a monetary gift instead. :)

Oh damn! My eyes are starting to close and seriously i wanted to sleep..Anyway before i shut down my computer, i want you to know that me and two of my new friends will do a Video Blog, i'll let you know the rest of the details because right now all our schedules are so tight so everything is still in the first stage of planning. 

Okay i'm gonna sleep now. Miss you all! Love yah!

A quick blog before i start my new job

There's a lot of thoughts are running in my mind, This thoughts affecting my emotions.

I want to cry for a tons of reason.

I am worried for the unknown happenings later.

Hundreds of "What If's" are circulating inside my brain

and Expecting something which i think is impossible.

Yes, Indeed! I am an emotional person (everybody knows that!) I am worried that i will made mistakes or maybe they are expecting a job well done from me but i failed or maybe they will hate me or dislike me because of my attitude. A new me, A stronger version of me, a very frank me.

Nevertheless, I am so proud of myself. I didn't expect that i will be back again. I just hope that i can do the job properly. 

I know i can do this. 

I believe in myself.

Eksena : Bet ko siya, Bet din kaya nya ang Junakis ko?

Hi everyone, here is the first ever EKSENA (SCENE in english, in other language ( for my readers from Germany and Latvia, just try to Google Translate it don't know exactly your language is. :)) ) 

What is EKSENA all about?

Eksena will be the Advice, Questions, Request and Favours zone, wherein our dear readers from all over the world can actually, ask me anything under the sun and not only that, you can also leave your comments and advices.

I'll give you an example of  EKSENA for tonight so, you guys will somehow understand what I'm actually talking about. 

Here it goes, Eksena on the Go! 

Eksena Number One

Ano ba maipapayo mo sa akin kung sakaling umibig ako sa babaeng single, tapos hindi niya alam na may anak na ako, need ko pa ba ipaalam sa kanya yun?

Random

English Translation (Nosebleed Version)

What can you advice to me if ever I fall in love to a lady who is single, but  she doesn't know that i already have a baby, do i need to let her know about it?

Random

EKSENA SPEAK :

Well, to you Random. It's a very simple yet quite hard situation. but always remember, HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY!

As a woman since birth, we love an HONEST GUY. WE HATE SECRETS. the more secrets that you are hiding behind our back, you're just making the situation worst, and besides since you're starting to love her it means you are dreaming, hoping and wishing that she will be part of your life and your child is part of your life that you cannot hide. 

I think, it's very important to tell the whole you to the person you liked, let the person liked you or hate you based on the real you. POGI POINTS ang pagiging Honest, so you better grab that opportunity. be proud that you already have a child, you are not alone in this world. don't you ever step your best foot forward, because you don't know how long you can stand / hold putting your best foot forward.You are not perfect, so do I and for sure she is also not perfect, even BARBIE is not perfect. (she's pretty but she is plastic)

Anyway, we would like to hear from you, so we better understand your situation. you can comment here using a name "EKSENA RANDOM." so we can still continue advice you in your EKSENA.

What's Hot : Welcome Back, Harrys!

GUESS WHO'S BACK!!!!

Back to Work
Back to Harrys
Back to Orchard

= HAPPINESS.

This is one of the most awaited event of my life; to be back at work at my dream company with my dream job.  Nobody can replace the kind of happiness that i am feeling right now, yes even Dwi. HAHAHA.

I've been waiting for so long. (I even let go the opportunity that once knocked on me) I know once i came back a lot of things has been changed, but i will try my best to exceed the expectation that they have (if ever they have, which is I assume that there is!). and most important at all, I also need to gain back some one's trust (I know i can, IN TIME.)

So, how does everything starts? Well, apparently i never lose hope that one day i will come back to the company who i treated as my first FAMILY IN SINGAPORE ; but i didn't expect that it will be happening soon. I didn't plan for it, there's a lot of things that is bothering me right now, i didn't set my mind in only one company, in fact I even tried a lot of places and Harry's is never become one of my options after the last time i sent my CV few months back and nothings happened!

It just so happened  one day while browsing my FACEBOOK NEWS FEED, I saw one of my schoolmate / dorm-mate / and also a former trainee in Harrys working in Ying Yang, (It's a rooftop bar at The Club Hotel by Harrys) I browse her pictures and it gave me a sign to visit the website of Harrys and check their careers section. When i saw that they are looking for Bartender, It gave me a moment to think; to send or not to send.

I finally told my self, "okay for the last time" though it's a bit pai sai (emabrassed)  because i keep on sending my CV to them with different position for the last few months, i finally convinced my self, for the last time. for this year? . I even sent a quite dramatic Email to them such as, How Harrys changed me. Blah Blah Blah Cheese Boom Baaaah!

After a minute (i guess? I am not exaggerating here dude!) i received a reply from them. when i saw that with exclamation on the side, I got scared, I am actually thinking that they will tell me to stop sending CV to them.

***piece of my Imagination***

Me : Dear HR, attached herewith my Curriculum Vitae, Blah Blah Blah Chees Boom Baaah! (of course i didn't put Blah Blah Blah Cheese Boom Baaah!)

***send

***After seconds, they received

HR : Aiyo! same person again, now applying for the position of Bartender. How many time she needs to submit her CV in ONE YEAR??

      Dear Kristel, Please stop sending your CV as we are sicked of it! Thank You!

********END***********

HAHAHA. Seriously, that is my reaction when i saw that email with exclamation. (I have this way of thinking that exclamation point means your mad! HAHA)

So, i opened the email with a sad face and i read it, as i read it my eyes grow bigger and i even slap my self if it's real. that they are really asking me to come down for an interview. i read it about 10 times and keep on rolling on the sofa.

So, I've been worried for a week (before my interview) i reviewed the concoctions and even how to do the inventories, I never been prepared to an interview like this. I never been nervous like this before. I want to answered properly to all their questions, make them see that i know what i am applying for, I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT IS MY JOB.

***3 years ago***
(A TRUE TO LIFE STORY)

I went for an Interview for an OJT in Singapore due to my friends who also hopefuls. I go with them for the sake of friendship, i never intended to have my OJT in SINGAPORE (FYI, i have a job that time, and everything is already planned)

when it's my time to be interviewed, this is actually what happened

HR : Oh so you're a working student

Me:  Yes

HR : So what is your job scope

Me : (shet! what is job scope? Bahala na nga si batman, sana tama to) I'm actually a pasta and pizza server.

HR: Oh, and you studied Bartending?

Me: yes, it's part of my course

HR : So, what can you say about Bartending?

Me: It's fun, we do flairing, we studied different type of glass and a lot more (smile)

HR: So, you know how to flair?

Me: The basic, but I am not good at it, I'm afraid that the bottle will hit my head (smile and laugh a bit)

HR: Do you know how to do a cocktail?

Me: No.

HR: Why?

Me: I am not interested. (smile)

HR: Oh i see, Thank you.

Me: Thank you.

***after the interview, my friends asked me about what happened inside the room and i told them the same stories, and they told me that i am definitely not getting that chance to go to Singapore. but who cares??

Now, Let's go back to the present time.

ZOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

Hahaha, now you know why i am very pressured by this interview? As i want to make a change. They gave me a chance eventhough I told them that i am not Interested, in fact, I became a barmaid.  :)

So, when i went for an interview they didn't asked me for anything about job scope, they straight away asked me which outlet i want. ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

So, to make this story short. I am HIRED and will start tomorrow at 6pm. with my mentor at the outlet where i started.

So wish me a goodluck guys! Hope i can perform well and make all my goals come true!!!!


i will surely update about my first day :)

Let's Talk Kitty Talk : Pros and Cons of being married

This BLOG ENTRY is dedicated to :

1) Married people (like me)

2) Engaged (Basahin mo ito para alam mo ang pinapasok mo)

3) Sa Mag PRO-PROPOSE (Ihanda mo ang sarili mo tol)

4) Nangangarap ng MAKAPAG-ASAWA (Masaya lang talaga mag imagine, mag imagine ka nalang muna)

5) SINGLE (Ang swerte lang!)

Sabi nila, sobrang aga ko nag-asawa o sa salitang kalye eh, LUMANDI. madami ngang lumabas na accusation na BUNTIS ako, kaya sobrang napabilis ang pag aasawa ko, lalo na ang napangasawa ko ay bago ko palang kakilala. but i managed to proved na ang PREGNANCY ISSUE eh puro kaimbentuhan lang ng mga tao sa paligid ligid.

Nainlove ako eh, Inalok ako ng kasal. choosy pa ba?. I love Dwi and I'm afraid to lose him that's why, when we decided to get married natakot ako na kapag tumanggi ako, baka pumanget ang relasyon. OO, madaming eeksena dyan na, "IF HE LOVES YOU, HE WILL UNDERSTAND YOU AND HE WILL WAIT FOR YOU. " leche, tantanan nga ako, hindi lahat ng lalake ay pare-pareho, hindi lahat ng pananaw nating maganda ay tumutugma sa realidad ng buhay. Ikaw, bet mo ba iwan ka ng taong sobra mong mahal? Afford mo yun?

Anyway, aware naman ako na ang pag-aasawa ay hindi fairytale na ke-ganda ganda ng eksena, para itong TELESERYE na sumasalamin sa tunay na buhay. May taong nagmamahalan at may mga taong mahilig umeksena, parang si Margarette sa Walang Hanggan. HAHAHA. Alam ko naman na hindi lang ako ang natatanging babae na nararanasan ang hagupit ni habagat sa buhay, dahil kung ako lang ang nakakaranas eh talaga naman na napakamalas ko talagang nilalang at ipatatanggal ko na talaga ang balat ko sa pwet. 

Kaya sa may mga asawang katulad ko at sa mga taong kaka I DO palang. Welcome sa buhay na inihantulad sa Rollercoaster. yung iba panigurado sanay na sa mga bagong pag didiskubre sa katangian ng asawa nila, pero yung mga bagong recruit dyan (lakas maka frat) masasanay din kayo, basta tatagan nyo lang ang loob nyo, pangaralan kung maari, ituro ang tama at mali. para lang yan training sa pag aalaga ng anak. Mag-usap kayo ng mga bagay na gusto at ayaw nyo, para naman magkaintindihan kayo at pareho kayo maka pag adjust.

Sa mga taong ENGAGED na, iba ang buhay ng mag jowa sa buhay mag live-in at buhay mag asawa. Tandaan, ang buhay pag-aasawa ay hindi parang isang kanin na kapag napaso eh iluluwa. dapat pag napasa, buksan mo lang ang bibig mo tapat mo sa electrict fan para lumamig, pero wag na wag mo iluluwa. dahil, ng mag desisyon ka na pakasalan siya eh, nag desisyon ka na hindi ka na titingin sa iba. Siya na ang huling taong jojowain mo, huling taong liligawan mo, huling taong susuyuin mo pag nagtampo siya sayo, WALA NG IBA. kasi kaya nga KASAL eh. KAsama mo SA Lahat. (Akalain mo yun nagawan ko pa ng acronyms) sa hirap at ginhawa, lahat ng desisyon nyo dapat mutual kasi kayo ay iisa na. 

Sa mga lalakeng mag pro-propose palang, Siguraduhin mo na siya na talaga ha. Masakit kasi yung aalukin ka ng kasal ayun pala hindi rin sa simbahan ang tuloy, hindi rin pala siya ang makakasama mo sa pagharap sa altar. Wag ganun! Kung desidido ka na sa isa, edi go! wag ka aatras, pero kung hindi pa buo ang loob mo at nag aalinlangan ka pa, wag na wag ka mag pro-propose dahil masaya ka lang. Pakiramdaman mo ang sarili mo, wag ka paasa effect, kung ayaw mo maisumpa sa ilalim ng buwan.

Sa mga Nangangarap na makapag-asawa na tanungin mo din ang sarili mo kung handa ka na minsan kasi sa kapapangarap mo akala mo lahat maganda. kala mo lahat masaya. kala mo lahat madali lang. maganda naman yang motivation sa buhay kaya lang pag nasobrahan tapos hindi pala maganda ang kinalabasan pagkatapos mong pumirma eh masasaktan ka lang ng bongga. Take your time pa to find the one for you pero wag mo alisin sa isip mo na lahat ng tao ay hindi perperkto, may mga tao dyan na 30 na pero asal 7 years old pa din, pero hindi ko pinariringgan si Dwi. mahaba pa ang buhay, wag ka pressure kahit na naunahan ka pa ng pamangkin mo mag ka-asawa. 

Sa mga single, kung feeling nyo malas kayo, pwes hindi totoo yan. masarap kaya maging single. madami kang bagay na magagawa at mabibili ng walang inaalala na ibang tao. kahit pa gumala ka ng gumala at umuwi ka ng 9 ng umaga wala kang asawa na magbubunganga sayo, ang nanay at tatay mo lang ang mag sasabi sayo na "anak, tama na yan" wala ka ng ibang tao iintindihin at uunawain mo, kahit mangulekta ka pa ng I phone at ng kotse ay jusko magagawa mo yan, mas madami kang freedom, magpakasasa ka hanggang kaya mo para kapag nag desisyon ka na mag asawa eh wala ka ng masaydong luho at pa teen ager ang peg.

Naway' nagustuhan nyo ang aking mga tips sa pag aasawa. kung may alam pa kayo na tips eh ieksena nyo na dito. 

Salamat

Let's Talk Kitty Talk : Alert! Daming Plastic sa Paligid

Imbyerna! Yan ang laging nararamdaman ko kapag nakakasalamuha ko ay isang PLASTIK NA TAO. 

yung tipong kahit naiisip ko palang yung taong yun o naiimagine ko palang ang pagmumukha ng taong yun eh talagang naiirita ako ng buong puso at buto.

Nanginig ang buong katawan ko kapag sobrang halatado na ang pagkaretoke ng ugali ng isang tao, ewan ko ba kung bakit ganun nalamang ang nararamdaman ko. Siguro, dahil mabilis ako magtiwala sa kahit kaninong tao, kahit bagong kakilala palang. dahil naniniwala ako na kung ano trato ang gusto mo na gawin sayo ng mga bagong tao sa buhay mo dapat ganun din ang trato na ibigay mo sa kanila. Give and take lang yan, kung baga Buy one take one. Kaya naman sobrang pag dismaya talaga ang nararamdaman ko kapag ang taong pinagalayan ko ng tiwala eh binabasura lang talaga ang lahat. Pwe!

Minsan iniiisp ko ano ba dapat ang gawin ko para maayos ang lahat ng bagay na gumugulo sa buhay ko dahil lang sa pag kaplastik ng isang taong malaking parte sa buhay ko, yung tipong kahit anong gawin ko, hindi siya mawawala talaga sa buhay namin o buhay ko. madami ng suggestion ang umabot sa akin, may nag sabi pa nga na dahil ako ang nakakabata eh dapat ako ang magparaya, ako ang humingi ng SORRY. pero iniisip ko naman, ano ba ang dapat ika hingi ko ng tawad kung wala naman ako maisip na ginawa ko para ma agrabyado sila, ano nga naman ang magagawa ko masama kung nananahimik lang ako sa isang tabi.

Hindi ko kayang sikmurain ang pag ako sa isang bagay na wala naman ako kinalaman,kung isa lang akong biktima ng isang taong makasarili at isang taong mahilig umeksena sa buhay ng may buhay. May limitasyon ang pagpapakumbaba ko, hindi sa lahat ng oras ako lagi ang bababa (lakas maka alien) para lang maayos ang mga gusot sa paligid, kung lagi ganun ang eksena ko, aabusuhin naman ako ng mga nilalalang naka kamag anak ni orocan.

Hindi ako hihingi ng tawad kung hindi bukal sa puso ko, hindi retokada ang ugali ko. isa lang akong salamin na ni re-reflect lang ang mga bagay na ginawa mo. hindi ko kayang mag kunwari, tatawa ako kung nakakatawa, malungkot ako kung malungkot, galit ako kung galit at higit sa lahat, iiyak ako kung pakiramdam ko sobra na.

Alam ko naman, hindi lang ako nakaka experience ng ganitong klaseng pakikitungo ng ibang tao. madami din diyan na biktima lang ng sugo ni orocan. kaya ang mapapayo ko nalang sa mga kapwa ko biktima. kung kayang tiisin at manahimik nalang, gawin. pero kung sa tingin mo sobra na kausapin. pero syempre dipende yun sa sitwasyon.

Haaaay. Sana matapos na ang lahat ng nakabinbin na ganap sa buhay ko upang matapos na din ang ganitong eksena.

My mom and Jason invades Singapore :))

Today is 04 October 2012, a day after Nanay and Jason went back to Philippines. This Blog entry for today is about their 4 and a half days tour here in Singapore. So, i have a 2 warning for this entry.

WARNING:

1. Includes tons of pictures

2. Probably, a very long entry.(which means a lot of wrong grammar)

So, let's begin, Let start from: 

Day 1 : The Arrival (Saturday, early morning)

Originally, Me and Dwi decided to take the Last Train Service going to Airport Terminal 2 to fetch Nanay and Jason. (The last train is about 11pm and they will arrive around 2 am) but we didn't make it. We have no choice but to take cab down to the airport. 

We reached around 2 am, just nice for the arrival of the plane. I am so nervous as Nanay is a first timer and she's can't communicate well in English.

So, Finally the plane landed and slowly the Passenger starting to come out. from the waiting area, i can see the Immigration. At first only few people coming out (means, they just landed) then suddenly massive (wow! massive talaga? Hahaha) then few people again. (means, the last batch) I suddenly felt so nervous as i haven't seen them plus the another Filipina waiting for her relatives is veery worried because the person that they are waiting have been invited to Immigration office for further question.

But After a few minutes, I finally saw Jason obviously trademark (His body :) ) and i felt relief. I hugged both of them and congratulate nanay for passing the Immigration. (Oh diba parang board exam lang ang peg!)  So after that, we go straight to our home and to take a rest. Dwi slept downstair with Jason, while Nanay and I slept in our Master Bedroom.

Day 1 : The Arrival, Some more!

Due to the coffee that i drunk before i sleep, insomnia attacked me again. Me and Nanay chit chatting in the middle of the night or should i say early in the morning. we talked about her first impression to Changi Airport. how beautiful and wonderful it is in and out. She says, its very different from our airport. 

So, i finally felt asleep around 5 am and then i woke up so late, about 12ish. where in Nanay and Jason already awake. Dwi went to meet his folks while Me, went out with Jason and Nanay.

So here are our First Day Pictures in Singapore

I think this is Ritual. Not only them but most of our visitors loves to take photo in this Blue Ferrari. So, here is Jason and Nanay taking photo with this awesome cars. :))

So, after that we went to Orchard, we are supposed to watch a movie but we didn't due to time. so we went to ION Orchard.

 Then we went to Paragon to have our late lunch at Canele.

 Here's our Drink. Nanay had her Citrus, Jason took the Mango (not so sure) and i had my Watermelon.

 Nanay's Appetizer. Chicken Ceasar Salad

 My Appetizer; Mushroom Soup. I didn't expect that the soup will be this small. The last time i had my mushroom soup here is in the big bowl. HAHAHA

 Bruschetta for Jason's Appetizer.

So for our main course, we had Pasta. Since they are all look the same to me, i cannot distinguish which is which. Anyway, Nanay had the Salmon, I had the Crab and Jason had Marinara. all of them are so shiok. :))

For dessert. we had three french macaroons; Hazelnut, Fleur de Sel and Feuillantine :))

After that heavy Late Lunch, we decided to walk back to ION orchard and buy a short at Forever 21. HAHAHA. a better fitting short for me. on the way, we passed by to Takashimaya and went in Candylicious. here's a picture of Nanay under that wonderful tree. 

We also went to Lucky Plaza and Had our dinner at Harry's Orchard. (wherein i'll be working starting this Monday!) we faster head back home for Dwi's Groomsmen Barong Fitting.

Day 2 : Suit and Gown Fitting and Songs of the Sea at Sentosa.

We have our 3pm appointment for Gown and Suit Fitting. I won't be posting my gown and Dwi suit here. 

Eventhough, Taking photo is not allowed, Jason managed to get their approval because they all LOVE JASON. :)

After that, we went to Vivo City to have our Early Dinner. We go faster eat and went to Sentosa so we can watch the first show of the Songs of the Sea. which we did.

So here's our Day 2 photos

 at Tanjong Pagar MRT

 Sentosa MRT

Sentosa's MRT have 3 stops. so we decided to go down on the first stop and walk all the way to Songs of the Sea. (which is in the 3rd stop). Of course! While walking we took the advantage of taking a photos.

 while waiting for the show to start.

 This is how many tourist are dying to watch this Show.

 Tadaaaaa! Show starts now.

 Love the light effects. For your info, the set-up of their stage is at Sea shore and Sea. Imagine how they manage to do is magnificent show?

 This is one of the example how the show looks like. 

After the show, we walked back to the Sentosa's MRT Station so we can go back home because Dwi have work on the next day.

But of course! take some photos first.

Day 3 : Bum Bum Bum at Home

Due to severe pain of our legs for the million miles walking. (Ang OA). we decided to stay at home. nothing much to do, i do my routine. Ironing every Monday. We also swum at night. (i'll upload photos here if Jason will upload the photos. HAHAHA. all the pictures is with Jason's phone). but although we just stayed at home, There is an interesting story happened to Jason.

Jason, met his another client around 9. I supposed to accompany him but i suddenly need to talk to my tenants. So, he went by his self. He asked me how to go inside the condominium once he came back, so i gave him the code that he need to dial to the intercom so i can open the gate. 

;

I had a very serious talk to my tenants, so i didn't noticed that i had a miss called. it's a bit late already when Jason went back home. He just rung the doorbell and i thought just nice that our tenant open the gate for him when he went out. I even jokingly said to Jason that i already threw the garbage HAHA. the truth is, Jason is actually went back 15 minutes ago he just in the wrong gate so he can't go in and the Intercom code didn't work. He fight with our security just to let him go inside. but a clap to our security because he didn't let Jason went in. it mean that our security is doing his job.

Day 4 : Last day of shopping and last day of legs suffering.

We went to City hall, we went to 4 malls. we went to Suntec, to Marina and a lot more. We keep on walking and walking. and buying and buying. HAHAHA

We went to smiggles. A very cute shop for office and school supplies. Just nice that all items in Green got 15 percent discount. So Jason cannot control his self because he loves green stuffs and he wanted to place all the grren items that he bought at his my green affairs office. :))

 Nanay also loves green :))

For our Lunch. we ate at Manhattan. Today we ate Seafoods. :)) some healthy stuffs. that surprisingly Jason liked.

 Hope they also have a branch in Manila. :(

 For our drink, Blue Lagoon with Vanilla ice cream on top.

 I had Fish and chips :)

 Our Seafood platter.

 Nanay and Jason's had their Fresh Grill of the day. Dory Fish.

We went at Suntec to buy toys for Aisle. I finally got my Discount / Membership Cards at Toys R Us. which i really need badly. hahaha

So we went to the fountain of wealth wherein my wished came true.  So, hopefully their wishes will come true as well.

  Behind us, is the Famous Marina Bay Sands

 The Famous Merlion. 

Hahaha! I love taking photo of Jason of taking photo of his self. HAHAHA.

After a long and tiring day. We had Starbucks :)) and Nanay's first starbucks ever!

Day  5 : A Half day, sending them in Airport. 

Wednesday, the day that they need to fly back to Phil. i don't have a photo because when i'm about to withdraw money. the ATM retained my CARD. GRRRR.

so i need to quickly leave the airport, didn't have the chance to say goodbye to them i tried to be at the bank so i can get back my card. which i did. 

Hahahaha! So this is the adventure of Nanay and Jason in Singapura, though, my wallet cried I am very happy for this opportunity before i go back to work. :)
