HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MAMA!!!

YOU ARE THE BEST IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE!

I LOVE YOU!!!

2011, My Year

The year 2010 was a very fruitful year for me and my family. Before it ended, I got promoted. The Lord has put me back to my post as youth leader. My family was, and still is, in full health; I helped my sister, Jhong, to get a job, Chenille got a scholarship grant at San Sebastian (she wants to take BS Psychology and then Medicine to study my brain) and our dear Dindi went on a tamad-tamaran vacation here with us. Joshua was born and is getting smarter and cuter each day. Jesus The Gospel Canlubang, where we attend Sunday services, got renovated. We have cut bills issues into half and God is still continuing to bless us to end all debt issues. I can’t thank God enough for all that He’s done for us. And He ain’t done yet… The party just got started…

 Thank you, Yahoo! for hacking my account. I check emails like once a month or if I am forced to. And so I opened my alternate Hotmail account and saw that Dindi sent me an email. This is what she wrote (Dindi, sorry I am so blessed with what you sent me I disregarded privacy:

Musta na kayo? Miss na kita! Sobra! I just have a prophesy for you:

denggay

I know that there is something more than just sitting and listening. The Lord will make me the head, not the tail (Deuteronomy 28:13). Temptation is everywhere but the time is almost over and we all have to act fast. Oh Lord, I give ‘em all to You! 

And so the Haven of Madness is mad no more…

The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures;
He leads me beside quiet waters.
He restores my soul;
He guides me in the path of righteousness
For His name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,
I fear no evil, for You are with me;
Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You have anointed my head with oil;
My cup overflows.
Surely goodness and lovingkindness will follow me all the days of my life,
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Psalm 23:1-6

The DASH Eating Plan

My dad said I am too young to be hypertensive. What can I do? Dr. Estela Galvez, our family doctor, advised me to follow, IF I COULD, the DASH EATING PLAN (Dietary Approach to Stop Hypertension). The diet plan calls for reducing sodium (salt) to 1,500 mg a day (about 2/3 teaspoon). It says the “patients undergoing DASH-Sodium plan significantly lowered their blood pressure“. This is a struggle for me but I know somehow I can do it. WAAAAAA!!!!

The DASH Eating Plan is based on 2,000 calories a day. The number of daily servings in a food group may vary from those listed depending on your caloric needs.

* Serving sizes vary between 1/2 cup - 1 1/4 cups. Check the product’s nutrition label.

 **Fat content changes serving counts for fats and oils: For example, 1 tbsp. of regular salad dressing equals 1 serving; 1 tbsp. of a low fat dressing equals 1/2 serving; 1 tbsp. of a fat free dressing equals 0 serving.

 I WISH I COULD FOLLOW THIS… PAIN!!!! LOL

Dear Barangay Canlubang

This is too much.

I voted because I want to exercise my right to vote… and complain eventually. And that eventually is now.

The SK Chairmanship is such a big hype. FRAUDULENT CANDIDATES should have been screened carefully. Canlubang is a big barangay and it begins to be smaller and smaller because it is being eaten by greed. This isn’t a country, this is just a barangay, and yet people are becoming hungry of power and money. If it isn’t for power and money, then what? How much do you get from being a barangay person? Unless…

I have to agree, the first term had made a few changes. A lot of people, however, speculated that if it’s the second time around, like what GMA had done, it would be more on taking back what was “lost”. Mr. Re-elected Barangay Chairman, prove to us that that speculation is wrong. I and the rest of Barangay Canlubang want to hear you: What’s with the Celo Scandal? Did Arnel Manaig, who is a close kin of yours, really win? What happens next?

I was thinking of voting for you. I even told a lot of people that I would. But at the last minute, I did not. Why? Because of fear… like a lot of people have feared of… Please say you didn’t, wouldn’t and won’t change a bit. Please take away this fear I feel.

 If anything happens to me, dear fellows, go back to this note and call for justice. This is why it happens to the whole country: we tolerate it in local politics. We ask for change yet we ourselves cannot change.

With great powers come great responsibilities. Be responsible. Be honest. Do what is right.

Deleting Blogs

It hurts when you see that all your years of hardwork will just be deleted. My friends, I have deleted my 2 Multiply, 2 Friendster and Downelink accounts. I might be deleting some more if I remember them. Reason: Peace, Prosperity and Love for all mankind.
 
I think I am through with the social phase but I will still keep my Facebook and Myspace accounts. Hehehe! To the people I met through those social network sites, thank you for adding me to Facebook and reading my blogs for the past 3 years. I will miss the blogs and the pictures (nope, I didn’t save the pictures, I just deleted them like that).
 
Most importantly, I want my private life to remain private. I have been through a lot of issues lately because of my past blogs. When I read some of those blogs, I realized how careless and funny I was way back then.
 
I am no celebrity, I am just a people person. But now, at 28, I realized that I don’t need a lot of friends on my list. I need a few true friends whom I can share my ups and downs with. I stopped playing Mafia Wars for a while now (sad) but may resume playing if Zynga would be kind enough to bring back the fabulous freebies. And I still love digression.
 
Oh yeah, I need your help. If you could find a site where I am a member, please tell me so, most especially those sleazy dating sites. Thank you!
 
I will still write when I am not lazy to do so. And I will still be your friend no matter what.

TOP 5 ver. 1: Why My Family Is COOL

5. We criticize each other. Whether it’s the new skirt I am wearing or my mom’s new ‘do, we make sure that we’d think of someone ugly…

e.g. You look like Corazon from Marimar - Chenille to my new skirt

My darling, Prince Valiant! - Dad to Mom’s new ‘do

4. Majority wins. We exercise our right to vote at home — from the tv show we are gonna watch to the family QT schedule.

e.g. Dad wants to watch Ang Dating Daan. I’d say that we want to watch something that’d interest everybody. Everyone else agrees. I win.

3. We love laughing… even at the corniest jokes. I’d say this is the reason I don’t have too many wrinkles yet.

e.g. Dad would dance Nobody by the Wondergirls.

2. We are affected with what the news says. We feel like whatever we say would affect the whole world.

e.g. We support Pac-Wife (Jinkee) over Pac-bet (Krista) for Pacman (Manny).

A YEAR WITHOUT BLOGGING

Okay, so I got no excuses. I was out because I wanna detach myself from the world… not really. I was so damn busy with work and MAFIA WARS. Excuse my randomness but I won’t be Phoebe if I am too organized…

I miss my boyfriend. The setup is this: we love each other, we miss each other… sans the formal relationship. Why? Distance, work, stability… If you are meant to be, hell, you are meant to be. If I met him like 5 years earlier, I would have dumped him for good, shove a new, shiny bf/gf pic on his face and call him a sore loser. But no, I followed what I vowed for. Really weird. I dunno what sprouted out of my tiny heart but I became strong and stupid. Go figure. Yes, world, I still love him.

It’s a Sunday and I should be prepping up for church but I don’t want to waste this opportunity. My minute brain is working again. Yipee! Yes, fellas, I am back to church. I still have a lot to fix in my life but I think with a help of THE fellowship, it’ll be easier. I didn’t say and will never say I am perfect… God loves me. ^_^

I miss Manila. I miss the night life. I miss my roommates. I miss saying “Work hard, party harder”. I feel like I am planting crops as where I am is so laidback. Pretty simple. Without the intarnets, I think, I’d end up crocheting 25 tablecloths for mom. Thank you for the webs!

I enjoy being a call center agent. Seriously. A lot of people who knows me would notice the difference. Yes, I am fatter and uglier now, but I am enjoying life. No pressure, no deadlines. I don’t need to make my workplace my bedroom. I just think of the basics… and it’s fun. Oh no, I am beginning to be so simple. This is not me! LOL

I am planning to go back to studying. I might take up some units in Education. Me and my sisters have long been planning to put up our own school and I guess it’s high time for me to start building the foundations. I am soooo excited!!! I just pray that they’d allow me NOT TO wear the uniform anymore… DUH???

Oh yeah, work. I met a lot of new friends. I met a lot of TRUE PEOPLE. My workmates are amazing. Even if some already resigned, we are still connected to each other. We will be celebrating our anniversary on the 17th of November and you are not invited. Bwahahaha! 

Why KINDER MACOPA? I named Wave 10 (work people) Kinder Macopa because the class is a mixture of personalities that can be found in a kindergarten class, Day 1. Our trainer, Naj, is the coolest. She’s like a kindergarten teacher — very patient — coz I think we are the craziest wave she handled. MACOPA because here in the Philippines, most often than not, Kindergarten classes (or the school administrator, out of power tripping) are divided into sections named after fruits.

Okay, I’m done. I’m already boring you with my randomness. I wish this is not my first and last entry for 2009. That is if I weren’t too lazy to blog.

Talk to you later.
